Well here we are.

Today is the day.

This is 40.

Hard to believe I've traveled around the sun so many times.

But I've picked up a lot in my 40 years.

Today I want to share some wisdom with you.

Here are 40 ways I've leveled up over the last 40 years (in no particular order).

1. Do hard things

2. Try new things

3. Listen more, talk less

4. Take care of your body

5. Take care of your mind

6. Tell people you love them

7. Build a tribe

8. Find mentors

9. Face your fears

10. Expect the Unexpected

11. It's never too late to start over

12. The world owes you nothing

13. Family First

14. Get outside

15. Find peace

16. Turn your purpose into a passion

17. Be a person of high character

18. Dream big

19. Travel the world

20. Take chances

21. Speak clearly

22. Look people in the eye

23. Develop a firm handshake

24. Read/Learn daily

25. Ask for help

26. Be proud of who you are

27. Slow down

28. Compete for everything

29. Define success

30. Pursue excellence

31. Set big goals

32. Plan for what could go wrong

33. Write daily

34. Eat healthy

35. Give yourself grace

36. There are no shortcuts

37. Everything has a price

38. It's always your choice

39. Ask lots of questions

40. Every day is a blessing

And a bonus lesson for this next year of life.

41. Experiences > Things

It's been an incredible learning experience getting to this point in life.

I'm excited to see what else I'll learn along the way.

Let me know which lesson speaks to you the most.

I'll write more in-depth on the topic later.

Also hit that Follow button to see how I use each of these in my life.

Edge of Greatness Summit

4 Things learned from a conversation with @Setoiyo1.

🧵🧵 THREAD 🧵🧵

1. If you want to pursue greatness you have to get uncomfortable.

2. No plan B

3. Greatness doesn't happen quickly

4. The "Greats" seek feedback

1. If you want to pursue greatness you have to get uncomfortable

Setoiyo left the comfort of home and Columbus to chase a dream.

His belief was that if he really wanted to achieve the most he could, it would have to be in a place he didn't have a safety net.

Too often we hold onto our comfort.

Excellence is achieved in the space between discomfort and uncertainty.

If you refuse to put yourself in that space, greatness will always stay just out of reach.

The growth that occurs here is unlike any other.

2. No plan B

By moving to Philadelphia Setoiyo removed his safety net of being at home.

He eliminated the plan B from his life.

There was only 1 way forward and it was by putting in the reps, doing the miles, and earning his way forward through the mud.

Too often we allow ourselves a way out.

This way out stops us from truly committing to making our goals happen.

It's easy to quit when things get hard when we know we have a safety net.

You're less likely to let go when there's nothing beneath you to catch your fall.

3. Greatness doesn't happen quickly

Setoiyo spent years honing his craft and sharpening his knives.

His first album releases this summer after 12 years of performing.

He was funny a long time before 12 years, but excellence is a process that requires effort and time.

We see people at the top and think it looks great up there.

The truth is that if you knew the miles they put in to get there you may not think it looks so good.

It's not a show up and you've made it kind of thing.

There is no set time, it's up to you to keep moving forward.

4. The "Greats" seek feedback

Setoiyo spends time watching his sets.

He seeks feedback from co-workers and friends.

He also embraces the failed moments and the bomb as a way to keep him honest and hold himself accountable.

Feedback is our accountability partner to greatness.

Without it we believe we're doing something special, but in fact we are going the wrong way on a 1 way street.

When you blindly pursue something without feedback, you're more likely to end up lost than where you meant to go.

My conversation with @Setoiyo1 drops tonight at 7p EST.
