Hey there,
Quick shoutout to Ashly, Holly, Rachel, Fatima, Dan, Dieter, Eric, Jason, William, James and the Kick Ass Community. Thank you for your support. 🙏
This week's challenge is about...social media.
How much time do you spend every day on social media? An hour, a few hours, the entire day, weeks straight?
Now picture yourself taking a whole day off? 😬
No Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.
Instead, use the time to connect with family, friends, and yourself. Enjoy a quiet dinner, watch a movie, take a walk, lift some weights.
Take this opportunity to challenge yourself by unplugging from social media for a whole day.
Quick Updates:
An accountability tracker is coming! Now see who's taking on the challenges and more. More info coming soon.

⚡ Kick Ass Person
Dieter Scholtyssek is the Founder of Wheelbikes, the #1 source for bike ride and cycling information in Texas.
I had the awesome pleasure of meeting Dieter in person last year, and he is filled with knowledge, stories, and valuable insights. He's a giver who's always extending himself to help others.
Additionally, he helps moderate Noah Kagan's Underdog Slack group, a private community loaded with entrepreneurs who are seeking to start successful, profitable businesses.
Feel free to reach out to him and say "Hi". He's harmless 😎
