Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Heroic one. I'm typing this the night before we kick off our first heroic workshop instructor training. 120 heroic coaches from 110 cities, 13 countries and 33 US states. We're joining us for our inaugural training in Austin, Texas. Note we'll be doing a European training in Athens in November. Gonna be awesome. And a second North American training in Arizona in October. That will be awesome as well. Check out a link so you can sign up and learn more about both of those. So this morning a couple of our awesome Heroic team members. Love you. Nat and Isaiah cruised out to the Johnson Ranch to pick up some of the event gear we store in our barn. As you know, if you've been following along, we live out in the country and have a little land. On that land we have a little trail. It's a half a mile loop. Now Nat and Isaiah and I went on a walk. Three of our dogs, all of which we rescued, joined us Zap, Wags and Scout near the end of our walk after Nat and Isaiah blessed my pull up bar, which is a tree branch, with a set of pull ups. Nice work guys. Isaiah thanked me for doing the hard work to move out of my comfort zone decades ago to find a path with purpose. That led to me creating heroic. That led to us creating the opportunity for him to be doing such meaningful work with us. Now. Isaiah is Goosebumps, one of the kindest, most thoughtful, most humble, most soul force infused human beings I've ever met. His gratitude was authentic and beautiful and heartfelt and I felt it. And after I thanked him for his kind words, I laughed because the verbs he used to describe all my challenges were all in the past tense. Now I literally started laughing as I pointed that out to him. And then I let him know that I'm still facing challenges to forge a life of meaning, live in integrity with my values, and do all I can to help fulfill our mission. But only every single day do I experience those challenges. Now, tragically, I will not be the first perfect human being exonerated from the pain, uncertainty and constant work to meet all of life's inevitable challenges. And neither will you. And that's today's one. Here's to remembering that our infinite potential is by definition never reached. And let's remember that our infinite potential exists just outside of our comfort zone as we also remember the fact that exiting our comfort zone by definition feels uncomfortable. Say it with me now. We love Pooh P U h, Pain, uncertainty, hard work. We, we love Puke P U C W Pain, Uncertainty. Constant work. Check out those plus ones for more on that inside joke. It is day one. We're all in. Let's go. P.S. you know what Isaiah does for us these days? He's basically our enrollment officer for Heroic Coach. He went through our program forever ago. Then he said some really kind things about the fact that this was the best education he's gotten our Heroic Coach program, and he went to Penn, berkeley, law school, etc. And now he gets to share that passion with our prospective coaches. So if you've ever considered joining Heroic Coach and would like to schedule a time to connect with Isaiah and learn more about why he thinks it's pretty awesome, you can find the time to connect with him in a link in this plus one.
