They See Me Doing the Work… So Why Aren’t They Moved to Act?

Published 19 days ago • 1 min read

Your guide to conquering chaos and crushing goals.

Hey, it’s Mark!

I’m up between 3:30 and 4:15 AM.
☀️ I run every single day.
🚶‍♂️ I rack up 15,000+ steps—sometimes 17,000.
📚 I read. I reflect. I take action.

And you know what? People see it.

Some are close to me.

Some only know me from the podcast or this very newsletter.

But they know I show up.

And yet…

They’re still not moving.
Still stuck.
Still talking about change instead of chasing it.
Still sitting instead of stepping forward.

And that used to frustrate me…

Just over here doing the work—with or without the applause. 😎✌️

Until I realized something BIG:

You can’t motivate someone who isn’t ready to be moved.
But you can make them curious.

Curious about what it might feel like to run before sunrise.
Curious about what a life of clarity and momentum looks like.
Curious enough to eventually ask you, “How did you start?”

That’s the moment we wait for.

Until then—
✔️ You keep showing up.
✔️ You keep stacking wins.
✔️ You keep being the reminder that it’s possible to live differently.

Your example might not change them today…
But when they’re ready, you’ll be the first person they remember.

Now go get those steps in. 😉

Bouncefully yours,
Mark

“I’m Too Busy” is a Red Flag

Your guide to conquering chaos and crushing goals. We all say it. “I’m too busy.” It’s become the adult version of “my dog ate my homework”—a catch-all excuse that feels true… but often hides what’s really going on. Recently, someone told me they were too busy to do something that would’ve taken them less than 30 seconds. (Not work-related. Just a small, daily moment of connection.) That hit me like a brick of burnout. Because let’s be honest: If we’re too busy for 30 seconds of...
