Heroes!

Michael here. 👋

Happy Sunday.

I’m consistently amazed at the power of doing just a little bit every day to get just a little bit better.

Every day, we get one of the world’s best book’s distilled into a 60-second amuse-bouche (with a 20-minute main course for those who want more!) to help us get “more wisdom in less time” and apply powerful ideas to transform our lives.

(Thanks Bri!)

Aggregate and compound daily action over time and magic happens.

Like Patty, who hasn’t missed a day since she got her Areté tattoo, and says:

“For 700 days, I’ve intentionally chosen my heroic protocol, even on the days when every fiber of my being wanted to quit – ESPECIALLY on those days.

Eudaimonia isn’t just a #oneword2025 goal; it’s becoming my lived reality.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. About proving to myself that radical transformation is possible, one intentional moment at a time.

If I can rewire decades of inconsistency, ANYONE can. Heroism isn’t reserved for the extraordinary—it’s a choice available to everyone willing to make it.

Here’s to flourishing, to discipline, and to the relentless pursuit of our highest selves. 💪🌟”

Nice work Patty!

And…

THANK YOU (!!!) again to everyone providing feedback through the survey and interviews on how Heroic can better help YOU to experience those same transformations.

We’ve got some exciting updates planned and can’t wait to share more soon.

We’ve also got a TON of goodness happening right now!

Let’s get to it.

1. Energy + Community = Magic

In May, we’re heading to Austin for two back-to-back Heroic events—transformational experiences full of next-level energy, depth, and connection.

May 12–15: Heroic Workshop Instructor Training
Train with Brian, Michael, and the Heroic Team to learn how to lead powerful workshops, coach with confidence, and bring Heroic to your community. It’s hands-on, practical, and incredibly energizing.

Note: Curious about the real-world impact and potential of becoming a Certified Workshop Instructor? Check out these posts from Marc and Dan and Tim and Kelly and Daniela and Steve and Lori and JoAnne—all from the last few weeks!

As Marc shares:

“Two Heroic workshops this week. 💥

53 new heroes introduced to this amazing community. 🔥

‘Being able to really dig into my goals, my accomplishments, etc. was eye opening and made me really want to make a change not only for myself, but for those around me.’

‘This was a powerful workshop. It literally brought me to tears at one point. Very powerful tools and clear direction on how I can implement within my life.’

This is how we (you, me, us) reach the goal of 51/2051. One to many. 🎯

If you’re on the fence about attending the workshop instructor training in Austin in May, I hope that you’ll trust yourself and step forward into growth. I’ve been where you are, and I’m grateful that I accepted the call to adventure. I know you will be, too. ✊”

May 16–18: Heroic Activation Experience
Three unforgettable days of growth, connection, and challenge (yes, including an optional Spartan Sprint!). You’ll leave clearer, stronger, and more fired up than ever.

These aren’t just events—they’re catalysts.

Learn more + save your spot.

See you there!

2. Heroic AZ & Heroic Education

The HeroicAZ Education launch was absolutely extraordinary! The in-person Heroic AZ community was joined by a streaming audience from around the globe to experience the impact Heroic is having in schools across the country.

Educators, students, and leaders came together to celebrate a movement that is revolutionizing education. Schools are seeing dramatic improvements—GPAs are rising, students are more engaged, and teachers are more energized than ever. The Heroic tools are proving that when we help young people unlock their full potential, we don’t just change individual lives—we transform entire communities.

This launch was more than an event—it was a glimpse into the future of education. A future where schools aren’t just places of learning but hubs of human flourishing. Where students develop the mindset, discipline, and resilience to lead with excellence in every area of life.

Heroic is not just changing schools. It’s shaping the future of our country—and ultimately, the world. And this is just the beginning!

3. Community Highlights

Favorites from another week of moving from Theory to Practice to Mastery, Together!!!

  • Brandon Guyer’s household now has a new flush-it routine: “The kids surprised me with something I’ve wanted for a loooong time.”
  • Dr Jones reminded us to just keep swiping: After 901 days, he decided to stop using the app to see if the habit had created a positive addiction. The experiment was a success! He’s now back on board enjoying his swipes again and shared some encouragement for anyone struggling to stay consistent on their fundamentals.
  • Dan delivered TWO Heroic workshops: The Heroic Workshop continues to spread ripples of impact — this time all the way from the NYC chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization all the way to Cornell students at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Keep up the great work, Dan! (P.S. if YOU want to be trained in delivering Heroic workshops, join us in Austin!)

Spotlight on YOU…

How can you build a little more consistency on your fundamentals?

What tiny habits could you add to your protocol?

And what wildly important goal are you working towards right now?

Today’s the day!

+1. Wisdom from the week:

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

— Helen Keller

Heroic Wisdom Daily:
