What’s up Hero?!?!

It’s Michael here (👋), President + Head Coach at Heroic.

On behalf of myself and our team, and the rest of our Coach community: WELCOME!!!

Class XXIV officially began on Monday, July 15th, 2024.

We’re fired up (🔥!) about you joining us and are excited to help you make this coming year the greatest year of your life.

Now, a couple of things...

You Already Have Access to Heroic Coach

You can log in here via the web to access everything, and, we’ll also be leveraging the Heroic app (download that here) during the program.

While we’re on the subject of apps…

We built the Heroic app from the ground up with MetaLab (who built Slack, Tinder, Uber Eats, etc.) and applied the best of behavioral design technology to help you ACTUALLY do what you know you’re CAPABLE of doing.

Over the course of our 300-day Coach program, we’ll be systematically installing various behaviors that research shows help you to be the best, most Heroic version of yourself.

We call those behaviors the Fundamentals, and we’ve made it super simple to track those behaviors in the Heroic app.

The Heroic app has been a powerful catalyst to help ME make changes in MY life, and I’ve been deep into everything from Brian Johnson and Heroic for over a decade.

We’ll be sharing the details of each of those Fundamental practices — including what to do, how to do it, why to do it, and when to start — in the weeks and months ahead.

Now, onto your first (of three!) official action items for Heroic Coach.

#1 | Complete Two Surveys

Survey #1: Complete the welcome survey.

We’ll use this survey to learn more about you and what you hope to achieve in the program.

You can finish it in as little as 5 minutes, although historical data shows that most people tend to treat it like a mini goal-setting + growth session and end up investing around 20-30 minutes.

Survey #2: Complete the Coach Labs Survey.

Quick context.

When we launched the inaugural class of Coach back in early 2019, we reached out to one of our friends and favorite positive psychologists, Sonja Lyubomirsky (author of The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness), to ask for help in studying the effectiveness of our Heroic protocol. (Or not, if it ISN’T effective! 😄)

That research project—aka Coach Labs—continues today.

If you’d like to participate in this completely optional (but deeply appreciated!) research, head here and complete the survey.

It’s completely anonymous, and also shorter (5-10 minutes max) than the welcome survey.

#2 | Module O: The Heroic Mastery Series

The first Coach Module, Module O, has already been released for you and can be found on your Coach Dashboard (via the Web) or via the Heroic app here. 🤠

(Just make sure you're logged into the Web/App experience with the same email you used to sign up for Heroic Coach!)

Once the program kicks off, new Coach Modules will be released on Sunday mornings in a 2-weeks-on, 1-week-off cadence. (ON, ON, OFF. ON, ON, OFF. Etc.)

This Journey Map will show you what our Module focus and Practice focus will be each week. (And will also show when we have "off" weeks.)

Module O is the focus for Week 1. So, if you want to get ahead and work through some (or all) of it now, feel free.

The 26-part Mastery Series is the foundation of our Heroic Coach program and all the work that we’ll be doing together. The Mastery Series videos have been organized along with related Practices and additional wisdom into Coach Modules, which are THE #1 thing for you to focus on throughout the program.

That’s so important that I’ll repeat it again: when in doubt, prioritize working through your Coach Modules, both the Theory (the Mastery Series Video) and the Practices.

#3 | (Optional) Dive Into the "Core Wisdom" Category

In addition to the Mastery Series and related Practices, you’ll also be studying a curated collection of 300 +1s, 101 Philosopher's Notes, and eleven 101 Master Classes.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Philosopher's Notes: The biggest ideas from the world’s best optimal living books, distilled into fun, inspiring, and super practical 6-page PDFs & 20-min MP3s.

• Heroic +1s: Daily 2-5 minute micro-lessons with a new big idea you can apply to your life right away.

• 101 Master Classes: 45 to 90-minute classes that cover the Top 10 Big Ideas for flourishing with a particular topic like Productivity 101, Leadership 101, Meditation 101, etc.

So…

Each of those pieces of content has been spread throughout the 26 Coach Modules that make up the program (you’ll find some of the required wisdom within Module O when using the Web experience).

Otherwise, the best way to work through the required wisdom for the Coach program while on-the-go is to work through The Mastery Series, which can found on the Mastery tab in the Heroic app as well as by utilizing the Core Wisdom category that can be found all the way at the bottom of the Theory tab.

More Soon!

Again, welcome.

We’re so excited to welcome you into our Heroic Community.

Oh! And one more thing.

If you ever need ANYTHING, please reach out to our (amazing!) service team: Nat, AJ, Zak, Sonia, Fred, Kathi, Cameron, Levi, and J.T.

They also put together this comprehensive FAQ section, which I highly recommend checking out for any structural, navigational, or general questions about our Heroic Coach program.

That’s enough for now.

LOVE!

And high fives. 🙌

And Let’s. Do. This!!!

-Michael and Team Heroic
