Heroes!

Michael here. 👋

Oh. My. Goodness.

What a week it has been!

The buzz of feeling the Soul Force from so many of you in Austin last month still hasn’t worn off.

And we’re FIRED UP (🔥) to feel it again this fall in ATHENS (!) at our Heroic Workshop Instructor Training and Philosopher’s Experience in Athens!

Note: Our initial wave of 51 early bird tickets sold out in days to the private opt-in list before we could even get to the full community invite! 🤠 There are still a ton of heroes who were hoping for an early bird ticket, others asking about payment plan options, and others who need to figure out childcare, so…

We’re almost certainly going to increase early bird tickets + introduce payment plans + offer childcare options on-site. More on all of that tomorrow. (Family trip to Greece, anyone?!)

For now, your official invitation to apply to join us is below!

Plus…

Brian and I had the honor to serve a couple of incredible organizations in forging excellence and activating their Heroic potential: Coach Marcus Freeman and the football program at the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish! ☘️🏈) and Coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls (Go Bulls! 🐂🏀)

More on both of those below.

And a profoundly moving D-Day update from Brian on “Why I do what I do…”

As well as another fantastic new Philosopher’s Note on 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class (💪🤯), seven more Heroic +1s to inspire and fire us up EVERY (!) DAY (!), another free Heroic community game with Alexandra that kicked off (The Heroic Fun Game!), and much more.

Let’s get to it!

1. Heroic movement updates!

We’ve shared a ton of exciting updates on our Heroic movement over the last few weeks.

It started with the live 101 classes: How to Forge a Heroically Confident Mind 101 and How We’re Going to Change the World Together 101.

Then the major update on A Brief History of Heroic and a Quick Look at How We Intend to Forge an Antifragile Business and Fulfill Our Mission.

Plus three more updates this week, including the two below as well as yesterday’s: You + Us > 1-5-10-25-50-100-250+ Years!

And…

This week, Brian shared that we are now planning to CLOSE our current investment round.

The SEC says we can only share the details on Wefunder, so head over there for the full update.

If you’d like to become an Early Stage Heroic (or increase your investment!) before the round closes, cruise on over to Wefunder!

2. 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class by Steve Siebold

This week’s new Philosopher’s Note is on 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class by Steve Siebold.

Here’s the intro quote to the Note:

“When I started to implement the ideas in this book, my whole life changed. It wasn’t overnight, but sometimes it seemed like it. There’s no magic here, just practical thought processes, habits and philosophies drawn from the greatest performers in the world.

This book contains no theories. Every secret comes straight from the street of experiences, either my own or that of our clients. This book is loaded with ideas you can implement immediately. Some will be familiar, and some new. All of them have the power to catapult your results, no matter how high you’re flying. As a matter of fact, the people who will get the most value out of our mental toughness process are the world class. They are always trying to gain an edge and get better, which is one of the reasons I think so highly of them.

I’ve held nothing back in this book, which means that at times you might find yourself slightly offended. This book is constantly comparing ‘average people’ with ‘world class people.’ These terms are used to get your attention and make you ask, ‘Which one am I?’ We are all equal as human beings. I simply use these terms in reference to performance and results.”

— Steve Siebold from 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class

3. The Fighting Irish, the Bulls and YOU!!

Earlier this week, we had the honor to serve a couple of incredible organizations in forging excellence and activating their Heroic potential: Coach Marcus Freeman and the football program at the University of Notre Dame:

(Go Irish! ☘️🏈!)

And Coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls:

(Go Bulls! 🐂🏀!)

For more details on each of those, check out Brian’s social posts (here and here) and the full update on Wefunder here.

4. Brian’s D-Day “Why I do what I do…”

In a moving message, Brian shared a personal and powerful reminder of why we honor such monumental moments in history. D-Day is not just a historical milestone—it's a profound reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and unity that shaped our world.

As we reflect on those who fought for freedom, let’s recommit ourselves to creating a world that reflects the virtues of wisdom, discipline, courage, and love.

Read the full reflection here.
