🌱 Why Going Public is My Secret Weapon (and Slightly Terrifying)

Let’s get something straight: publicly announcing my self-improvement goals feels about as comfortable as walking through the grocery store naked—awkward, terrifying, and more vulnerable than I’d prefer. But here’s the kicker: it’s also ridiculously effective. By broadcasting my “100 Days of Not Being a Fat Ass” challenge, I’ve turned my fear of humiliation into the ultimate motivator. After all, public embarrassment is a hell of a lot scarier than sweating through another workout or choking down another kale salad.

Every comment, DM, or random shoutout I get from others who’ve been inspired (or entertained) by my mess is fuel. Knowing you’re all watching keeps me moving forward—even if it feels like moving through wet cement some days.

🤝 Building an Accountability Tribe: Because Doing This Alone Sucks (Seriously)

Real talk: doing something difficult alone typically leads to quitting, self-pity, or a dangerous spiral into Netflix binge-watching. Isolation might be comfortable, but it’s also where motivation goes to curl up and die. Hence, my mission: creating an accountability tribe of equally sarcastic, honest, and slightly dysfunctional individuals who can openly admit that self-improvement isn’t all sunshine and motivational quotes.

This tribe isn’t about fake positivity or pretending setbacks don’t happen—it’s about calling out the BS excuses, celebrating tiny victories, and laughing at ourselves along the way. So join me, because misery (and success) both love company, and frankly, doing this alone just sucks.

💡 Self-Improvement is Contagious (in a Non-Annoying Way)

Here’s a weird truth I’ve discovered: self-improvement is contagious. Seriously. Every sarcastic, brutally honest update I share somehow sparks someone else into action. My open admission of struggles gives permission to others to admit they’re not exactly thriving either, which makes room for real growth instead of Instagram-filtered perfection.

I’m not here just to broadcast my progress—I’m here to amplify yours, too. Let’s celebrate together, complain together, and figure this whole mess out openly and honestly.

📣 Your Turn: Let’s Make Some Noise (and Mistakes) Together

Don’t just watch me flail from a safe distance. Get involved. Share your own awkward, messy, and authentic self-improvement stories. Comment, DM, join the conversation—help build a tribe that openly mocks perfection and embraces real progress. Let’s spread the self-improvement virus (the good kind, I swear) together and see what incredible chaos we can stir up.

Despite wrestling with ADHD, anxiety, and an unrelenting need to optimize everything, he transformed his career and life in just a few years—not because he’s special, but because he figured out how to turn obsession into execution. Now, he’s doing it again—publicly—one 100-day challenge at a time.

His past projects? Some were successes. Some flopped spectacularly. Each one left him a little wiser (and probably a little more caffeinated). Now, he’s on a mission to document his transformation—mind, body, career, and everything in between—so that others might pick up a thing or two along the way. Or at the very least, be entertained by the chaos.
