Do The Thing

You completed everything you thought would bring happiness. But you still feel unfulfilled. How can you activate the best version of yourself?

I had the chance to speak with Michael—Head Coach at Heroic—to answer the question. On paper, he had it all: a Harvard degree, a cool job as a commodity options trader, a loving wife, and great kids. But he still yearned for ways to improve himself both professionally and personally. Little did he know that meeting a teacher named Brian would change his mindset—and life—for the better.

Here's why Michael prioritizes energy and how his company plans to help 50% of the world's population flourish by 2051.

Doing the thing isn't just about starting a business or checking an item off your bucket list. You can also follow the Do The Thing Formula to guide you through difficult transitions. How does it work for those in recovery or leaving prison?

I chatted with Brooke Velazquez and Carlos Cervantes to learn the value of rehabilitating people back into society after exiting prison. While working for my company, they witnessed firsthand the impact of second chances. But life transitions aren't always smooth sailing. Why do some people succeed while others relapse?

Here are the tools Brooke and Carlos believe are necessary for people to take that second chance and run with it. 

Everything you've done so far has led you to where you are right now. What if you stopped worrying about the things you haven't accomplished and focused on the days ahead?

Today, I connected with Matthew Cannon—flow coach, writer, and entrepreneur—to uncover how he transformed his scarcity mindset into one of abundance. From co-founding a successful music tech startup to a failed vitamin company, his collected experiences led to where he is today. Now, he wants to help others realize the fully expressed versions of themselves.

Here's how Matthew learned to trust his intuition and why he's writing a self-discovery guidebook to help others do the same

Comparison is taught at an early age. But this mindset can stop you from doing the thing. How can you break the pattern and feel more connected with others?

I sat down with Kate Middleton—Somatic Therapist, Authentic Relating Facilitator, and Do The Thing favorite—to learn the answer. Is comparison inanely bad? The need to belong affects all humans. But jealousy and envy can quickly take over. Cutting the comparison might be just what you need to go after your dreams.

Kate explains how comparing yourself to others can prevent you from doing the thing and how to escape the comparison trap.

Change is never comfortable. But you don't have to be unafraid to take action. What if you did the thing scared and unprepared?

Do you spend hours fretting over the small details? Do you need everything to be done in a specific way? You might be a perfectionist. But is this personality trait preventing you from doing the thing?

I had an impromptu—totally not perfect—conversation with Dr. Amelia Case to learn how perfectionism is both a gift and a hindrance. Perfectionists help us see missing pieces no one else notices. But this trait can also lead to analysis paralysis. How can you combine the good and the bad attributes of perfectionism?

Do you always put the needs of others first? People pleasers will do anything to gain acceptance in the world. But what happens if you forget about your own wants and desires?

In this casual conversation with Dr. Nancy De Andrade—my amazingly insightful holistic coach—we dissect the good and shadow sides of the people-pleaser persona. This personality type is often misunderstood. And many times, it's rooted in childhood trauma. It's time to ask yourself: Why do you want to make other people happy, and would they return the generosity?

Learn why you became a people pleaser and how to navigate this persona as you do the thing.

Successful entrepreneurs identify a problem and develop a solution. But what if no one had a solution that works for you?

I sat down with Leah Boomsma—founder of Flipping Holder—to answer this question. A messy, mid-air incident with a baby food pouch left this mom of four feeling frustrated. Instead of waiting for someone else to solve her problem, she designed something that worked for her family. But could this busy full-time lawyer and mom turn her 3D-printed prototype into a sustainable business?

Here's how Leah solved a problem, took the next easiest step, and launched a brand without any attachment to the outcome.
