Hello again!

A quick recap of how GOALszn works: It's this newsletter, yes, but it's also a game for tracking workouts with friends throughout a "szn," which is typically 3 months long. We are currently less than a month away from the end of the current szn, and it feels like senioritis is happening in the hallways of some of the group chats. In past szns, we've even had people want to drop out—and that's all relatable! 

We've all wanted to quit something at one point or another. Sticking with the same process, week after week, can feel sort of strange or even boring in our "change it up!" world.

We tend to approach most situations in life with one foot in and one foot out. You’re going to be spending the same amount of time, so why... See more

Here's what we will say, though. While sometimes, quitting is a good thing (just ask Nikki, who quit law school almost a year in because it wasn't the right choice for her), generally there is value in staying the course and seeing something through. (Remember Ev's ultramarathoner Lyft driver, who advised us to keep moving through the pain?) 

In fact, according to Graham Weaver, Founder of Alpine Investors and Stanford lecturer, going all in is what will lead to asymmetrical, off-the-charts growth. We really believe in this! That's why we ask folks to trust the process. You might be surprised about what you discover about yourself along the way!

So today, we close with a question: Even when you're feeling resistant or pushed to your limit or flat-out over it, can you remind yourself of why you made a specific choice and see it through to the end? 

Cheers to the home stretch,

Ev, Nikki, & Ron 

WHAT WE'RE LIKING LATELY

🍷Any wine lovers down to form a GOALszn team for Marathon du Médoc this fall?! What if we said: 26.2-miles, 23 wine tastings—plus, at least one break for steak!

CHALLENGE TIME

Our current challenge is to take a break during the work day to move your body in an energizing way. Try this twice a day, on at least three days over the next two weeks.

Below, Davey does a great job of demo'ing squats and pushups for us, but do any type of exercise or stretch that feels good for you. Send us a timelapse or photo after completing your last one!

HIP HOP CARDIO CHALLENGE RECAP

From hitting the gym to attend a step aerobics class to getting the kiddos involved with learning the latest TikTok dance, we loved seeing how different folks interpreted our last challenge to take a hip-hop step aerobics class or learn a new routine.
