The Big Picture + The Details

The Big Picture

Before we dive into the details, it’s worth taking a step back to remember the ultimate game we’re playing: the primary focus of this program is to help you more and more consistently show up as the best version of yourself—and support you in helping others to more and more consistently show up as the best versions of themselves, too.

Actualizing your potential and serving profoundly.

That happens by exploring and embodying this wisdom, practicing the Heroic Protocols diligently, patiently, persistently, and playfully — and moment to moment to moment stepping into the gap between stimulus and response and closing the gap between who you’re capable of being and who you’re actually being.

So with that, what’s your target?

What do you want?

If you could wave your wand and create your ideal within Energy, Work, and Love over the next few months and years, what would it look like?

Get clear on what you want to use the work we’re doing together in service towards, then show up with the intentionality required to make that a reality.


The Mastery Series

The Mastery Series videos are the primary distillation of the Heroic protocol and the foundation of our program. Completing them—and doing the required practices they introduce—is your top priority!

Pick a time in your week that works best for you to watch the Mastery Series content, and schedule it in your calendar. Treat that time as you would a commitment with your boss/role model/mentor/Coach/the best version of yourself.

Be Diligent With the Coach Core Wisdom

The key here, just like with the Mastery Series, is to put time on your calendar for completing a piece of Core Wisdom, ideally on a daily basis. Find when works for you, and then soak yourself in the Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science of the Heroic library… day by day by day, +1 +1 +1.

If you do that, you WILL complete the required Core Wisdom.

You'll find required +1s, Philosopher's Notes, and 101 Master Classes contained within your Coach Modules.

(Here's a thorough walkthrough of how to navigate the Coach program via the web and Heroic App, if you're just getting started!)


The Fundamentals Matter!

Depending on where you are in the program, you may not have been introduced to all of the fundamentals or their associated practices.

No need to jump ahead if we haven't gotten there yet, but here are the fundamentals we'll be installing that help us to show up at our best and are required to earn a Certification:

🥗 Eat: Follow a nutritional protocol that supports you in maintaining (or actively moving towards) a WHtR of ≤ 0.5.

🏃‍♀️ Move: 30 minutes of continuous movement or 10k steps (average).

😴 Sleep: Turn off electronics one hour before going to bed.

👃 Breathe: Train Optimal breathing patterns for at least three minutes a day.

🧘 Focus: Meditate for eleven minutes.

🙏 Celebrate: Complete a gratitude practice.

🎯 Prosper: Commit to your protocol in the Heroic App.

And, even if you aren’t seeking an official certification, practicing the fundamentals is one of the BEST ways to go from Theory to Practice to Mastery.

For Pillar 1 Certification, the Fundamentals must be done at least five out of seven days a week. (This will become the expectation towards the end of the program. If you haven't yet learned these practices then you aren't expected to be practicing them at this level of consistency.)

Whenever you complete a Fundamental practice or something that helps you show up at your best, remember to CELEBRATE.


Connect With Your Heroic Buddy or Boat Crew

Whether you've been assigned a Heroic Buddy or a Boat Crew, this relationship can be incredibly powerful.

Of course, just as there are no perfect human beings, there are no perfect relationships! Which is why you will each need to bring a shared commitment to growth, communication, and flexibility.

Create space to connect with one another—in a short message once a week, or a dedicated call times, or maybe even a local meeting—and BE the kind of Heroic Buddy/Crewmate that you wish you had.

Spartan Race or Energetic Best Alternative

Energy is what fuels our Work and Love. Finding a new energetic best during the course of this program will allow us to reach new levels of productivity and creativity in our Work, and new levels of presence and connectivity in our Love and relationships.

Whenever possible, we love to gather as a community to conquer a Spartan Race. Why? Because Obstacles Make Me (Us) Stronger: OMMS.

And, if you cant't make it, you're welcome to propose an alternative.

During the program we'll share a form whereby you can share how you intend to show up at your best.

So that you can start planning, here are the two components of an Energetic Best Alternative:

1 - The challenge must be a demonstration of you showing up at your athletic and energetic best given the constraints of your reality. We want to stretch but not snap.

2 - Community. When participating in a Race or similar look to invite others and go as "Team Heroic." Otherwise, how can your action also support or encourage someone else in achieving a goal they may have? Remember, hērōs have strength for two.

Again, we'll share more via email when the time comes.

In Summary...

Know the game you're playing, and how to play it well.

Study the Mastery Series.

Incrementally work through the Coach Core Wisdom by completing every Coach Module.

Move from Theory to Practice via the Fundamentals.

Be the best Heroic Buddy possible.

Reach for a new Energetic Best.


Beyond That...

Selectively Participate in Live Coaching. As AMAZINGLY AWESOME as all of these Luminary and Live Coaching calls are, they are OPTIONAL, bonus components of the program.

At the beginning of the week (or month) we recommend that you take a look at the upcoming Live Coaching sessions, identify the ones that spark your interest/fit your schedule, and put them on your calendar.

One of the greatest gifts you can give to our community is by sharing the challenge you’re facing, opportunity you’re approaching, or growth that you’re seeking—and getting support from Team Heroic or our brilliant Luminary Guest Faculty. There WILL be others who resonate with your journey and use the insights your gain to improve their own lives.

We're so glad you're on this journey with us.

If you have any questions, please reach out.
