Day 22 of the Founder Advent Calendar. 🎄 We need Day 22 of the Founder Advent Calendar. 🎄

We need to have a serious talk today.

We spend so much time optimizing our businesses. But we often completely neglect the literal vehicle that allows us to do any of it:

Our bodies.

If your car started making a weird noise, you’d take it to the shop immediately. You wouldn't drive it on the highway hoping for the best. Yet, that is exactly how many of us treat our physical health. We push through fatigue, we ignore the aches, and we assume that because we can’t see a problem, it isn’t there.

You can’t build if the foundation is crumbling.

So, here is your challenge for Day 22. It’s not a business strategy, but it’s the most important thing you’ll do for your business and for yourself all year:

Stop what you are doing. Take 15 minutes. Pick up the phone.

Schedule the appointments you’ve been putting off for January.
🟢 The full physical.
🟢 The blood work.
🟢 The dentist.

The Bigger Challenge: Then commit to implementing what you need to change based on the results of your exams. Take those supplements. Change your diet to remove the food that is upsetting your digestion. And also most important, move more. 

Let’s make a pact that 2026 will be the year you are in the best physical health of your life.

P.S. I am loving the messages about how you are using these daily tips. We are in the home stretch now—just two days left!

Don’t wait for the crash. Build the support now. Don’t wait for the crash. Build the support now.

Day 21 of the Founder Advent Calendar. 🎄

How many of us are actively optimizing the most critical asset in the entire business? You and your mental and emotional energy!

You cannot grow an exceptional business when you are operating on an overwhelmed, anxious empty tank.

So, don't wait until you are in crisis or burned out.

Having your mental and emotional health supported before the chaos of the new year begins is the single biggest boost you can give yourself to grow the business.

Today is about setting those structures up.

📕 Start therapy "just because." Structured maintenance is better than crisis management. 📕 Find a coach or mentor. Someone to challenge your perspective. 📕 Journal daily. Clear the noise in your head before the work begins.

You need a strong, resilient foundation to build a great business. 

Swipe through for a few ways to build your support structure today.

Day 19  of the Founder’s Advent Calendar 🎄 - The Hardest Kind of Kindness

Self-kindness isn’t just about cutting yourself some slack.
True self-kindness is having the courage to look in the mirror and be self-critical. It’s loving yourself enough to refuse to stay stagnant. To reach your next stage of development, you have to identify the barrier standing in your way.

You need to find “The Big Thing.” Maybe it’s:
 * “Why do I always see the negative first?”
 * “Why do I snap when I’m busy?”
 * “Why am I avoiding the hard conversations?”

Ignoring these habits isn’t being kind to yourself; it’s holding you back.

🔥 The Challenge
Take 10 minutes today. Sit in silence. Identify the one big internal trait you need to change to level up in 2024.

Brave enough to share? Drop your “Big Thing” in the comments. Or, if you want to keep it private, just comment “Done” to let us know you did the work.

Stop being "Nice." Start being "Kind." Day 18 of Stop being "Nice." Start being "Kind."

Day 18 of the Founder Advent Calendar. 🎄

We all want a pleasant workplace. We want people to get along. So, we strive to be "nice." But "Nice" is about avoiding friction. It’s about smiling through a meeting when you actually disagree. It’s about softening feedback so much that the point is lost, just so you don't hurt someone’s feelings.

"Nice" prioritizes comfort over truth.

This leads to unclear instructions, vague communications, and dissatisfied managers and staff. This is where an employee thinks they are doing a great job because their manager is too "nice" to correct them. Then, six months later, they are fired for poor performance. 

Kindness is different. Kindness is rooted in caring about the person enough to tell them the truth. Kindness is saying, "I believe you can do better than this, so I’m going to be honest about where this work is falling short."

Clear is kind. 

👇 Advent Calendar Challenge: 👇
Think about a time in your career when a boss gave you kind feedback that was hard to hear, but was exactly what you needed.

Share that moment of "Kindness" in the comments.

Day 17 of the Founder's Advent Calendar. 🎄

We’re talking this week about Building Belonging, and today we need to talk about the quickest way to destroy it: An incoherent story about your company culture - the bait and switch.

I see this happen a lot. A founder who wants to attract talent, pitches the company as a "relaxed, balanced family environment." They talk about flexibility and vibes.

But the reality inside of the company is a grinding environment, that is high-pressure, perfectionist, and demands long hours.

The incoherent stories leave people feeling lied to, which destroys belonging. 

To be clear: I am not telling you to have a chill workplace. If your mission requires obsession, late nights, and intense scrutiny, that is completely okay. Some of the best companies in the world are intense. 

I just ask that if you are building a team of Navy SEALs, don’t put up a sign for Summer Camp. 

People will sign up for a challenging job if they know what they are getting into. They will bond over the challenge. They will find belonging in the shared struggle. But if you sell them "balance" and demand "obsession," you break the social contract on Day 1.

Belonging requires coherence. Your external story needs to match your internal reality.

👇 Advent Calendar Challenge: 👇
Take 10 minutes today to look at your job descriptions and your website.
Does the story you are telling the world match the reality of a Tuesday afternoon in your office? If not, don’t change the office. Start changing the story.
