You can still choose to go step-by-step through each of your Identities, Virtues, and Targets for the day (tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap).
Or… switch over to the one-tap option and hold down on “COMMIT” to commit to being the best version of yourself in energy, work, and love, TODAY!
Tactically speaking, the one-tap commit will lock in your same protocol from yesterday. (Reminder: you can edit your protocol at ANY point by hitting “edit” on the top right in energy, work, or love.)
Check out this short screen-record to see it in action.
And…
Special shout-out to Sean Casey for coming up with the idea!
If you haven’t watched the hilariously awesome 3-second video of Sean (Heroic member + investor and a former MLB All Star known as “The Mayor” who Sports Illustrated described as the friendliest guy in baseball) celebrating the release of one-tap, you’re missing out:
Note: In case you missed the awesome ~90-second clip of Sean describing how Heroic helps him win every day during a recent episode of his show, The Mayor’s Office with Sean Casey, you can check that one out here:
Now…
Even though I personally still enjoy tapping through each virtue (and target) as I visualize being (and doing) each of those things throughout the day… even just knowing the one-tap commit is an option makes me more likely to open Heroic and commit first thing.
I’ll find myself grabbing my phone and opening the app, planning to do the one-tap commit and get right to swiping the targets I’ve already hit, and then end up tap-tap-tapping through instead.
This makes complete sense in the context of B.J. Fogg’s B = MAP framework: because my ability to commit is higher (one-tapping is EASY!) the motivation required to get started is lower, and the behavior happens.
Commit → Hit → Express the best, most Heroic versions of ourselves.
Which brings us to…
Using Heroic to Quit Smoking
One of the Heroic Tools we use (and encourage!) most often is the #1 Start & #1 Stop:
“What’s the #1 positive behavior that I know would be beneficial for me to start doing?”
Plus…
“What’s the #1 negative behavior no longer serving me that I know I need to stopdoing?”
And…
Congratulations, Lydia, on identifying your #1 Stop, connecting it to your Heroic Big 3x2 (Identity + Virtues + Target Behaviors) and making it happen!
I quit smoking! Back when I registered for the Heroic Coach program, I identified the ONE thing that was getting in the way of being my best self - smoking. So my Heroic self kicked it to the curb. Which is like me! Spending time flipping the switch, meditating on my big 3 (x2), and knowing that I am worth the effort all contributed to me being 3+ weeks smoke free for the first time in YEARS. Hooray and Huzzah!
As always, we LOVE hearing your stories of celebration, encouragement, and/or appreciation. If you’ve got a story to share, let us know here!
And with that…

Heroic 2022
Will you be joining us in LA this December for Heroic 2022?
Per the event page, here's the big-picture, quick look at all the awesomeness we'll be packing into the 3-day event.
On the programming side of things (which is ALL DAY Friday + Saturday morning + Sunday morning), we'll be getting inspired with next-level theory from Brian, including Greatest Year Ever 2023 - Live, the latest tools he's personally using to lead himself + our business + our movement, and more.
Speaking of tools, Phil Stutz (author of The Tools and Coming Alive, therapist and coach to world-leading figures in Hollywood and beyond, and the inspiration behind so many Optimize +1s and practical tools in the Heroic app) will be joining us for a unique experience none of us will soon forget. (If you haven’t yet, check out our awesome 8-minute micro-masterclass featuring Phil here.)
Plus, on Saturday afternoon, we'll be conquering a Spartan race together (and/or encouraging those on the course) at the Castaic Lake State Recreation Area, one hour north of LA. We're also planning to do so as the largest team in Spartan history.
Note: In case you’ve got a voice in your head saying “I could never do a Spartan race,” you should know that A) you’re not alone (even Brian had/has that voice) and B) that voice is most likely lying to you and C) the hardest part is getting to the starting line and D) when you cross the finish line (which you WILL, with the help of an army of Heroes alongside you) you'll have gained more courage, confidence, and enthusiasm to tackle anything life throws at you.
We'll also be celebrating the graduation of everyone who's earned a certification (or advanced certification) in our Coach program.
AND...
It's all happening in the presence and power of an astonishing community of radiantly alive Optimizing Heroes that you're going to LOVE connecting with... and maybe even forming a few life-long friendships.
To get a feel for the energy we bring…. after the last event we had like this one (which we held to celebrate the graduation of Coach — Class I), we got this note from Jen, who didn’t know us and wasn’t attending our event. 🤣
Hello! I was in LA in Dec 2019 working at a live event and all I knew was that the entire hotel was taken over by thousands (?) of the happiest people I had ever seen. Somebody in the elevator gave me a trial card to Optimize and it took me nearly three months (and one ‘ended’ romatic relationship) to decide to type in the URL. :) Here I am! I am excited to get connected, yes, with the curriculum, but even more so with the PEOPLE. :) I am on a quest and I am so down with having awesome humans be part of it!
It's going to be AWESOME.
You'll walk away from the event feeling energized, confident, radiantly alive, and ready to close 2022 strong and make 2023 the best year of your life.
Head here for more details and to grab your ticket.
Note: Our special rate at the Sheraton is selling out fast so don’t wait to book! 70% of the rooms we locked in at the super-awesome discount of $149/night are already taken.
Hope to see you there.
Alright…
Day 1!
