Embrace a kick ass life

TL;DR - New updates and a final 2021 challenge + reward

Kick Ass Life

Dec 03, 2021

First off, Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving! 🦃

Hope you had a kick ass meal with family and friends.

It’s been quiet around here.

Truthfully, I was overwhelmed and burnt out.

So I stepped back, took a breath, and started thinking.

I thought about why I created Kick Ass Letters (KAL) in the first place.

My reasons?

Help people achieve their goals
Connect with awesome founders/creators/entrepreneurs
Share resources and tools to help you jumpstart projects
Embrace comfort challenges to get outside our comfort zone
Build a like-minded community that want all the above

In the last newsletter, the challenge was to reach out to your favorite newsletter creator (here).

I was floored by the responses I received.

Here’s one below that touched me:

Kick Ass Letters is more than just a newsletter.

It’s a community for founders, entrepreneurs, and creators.

It’s about embracing life and living without regrets.

It’s about living a kick ass life.

To that end, I have some exciting updates to share with you.

But before we jump into them, here’s our final 2021 challenge!

That’s how much I love it.

✅ New updates

We’re now Kick Ass Life! 🥳

Kick Ass Life is your central location to read our latest insights, highlights, interviews, and tools geared towards founders, entrepreneurs, and creators.

Kick Ass Letters will remain as our newsletter packed with unique challenges.

Here are just a few updates I’ve made:

We have a new website — Kick Ass Life!
You can submit challenges again
You can submit moments, stories, and highlights
You can find all your favorite tools in one place
You can read our latest blog posts, interviews, and more

And when you submit your own piece, we'll feature and highlight you to our entire community.

In the end, that’s what Kick Ass Life is all about — our community.

⌚ What remains the same:

Newsletters remain on a monthly schedule (I respect your inbox and time, so monthly makes the most sense)
Regular newsletter structure will return in Jan 2022

🙏 This wouldn’t be here without you

Lastly, I am grateful to all of you who stuck by me in this crazy experiment.

Almost a year ago and stuck in our homes due to this pandemic, I thought it would be a fun idea to try something new.

And what a fun ride it has been.

Before I go, big shoutout and my heartfelt thanks to the following people:

Dru, Fernando, Rachel, Paul, Alex, Wit, Stefan, Nathan, Marc, Steven, Vic, Chantelle, JOD, Dan, Eric, Stan, Jeremy, Pablo, Sam, Janel, Vidya, and each and every one of you. (Sorry in advance if I missed anyone!)

Thank you for all your support.

We got less than a month left to go in 2021.

Let’s end it with a bang.

Be fearless.
