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


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…

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

Hey, Reader! If your to-do list feels like a never-ending dumpster fire of random tasks, you’re probably making the single biggest mistake possible: You have one giant catch-all list. Stop. That’s chaos disguised as productivity. Here’s the system that actually works (the same one I’ve used for years and still swear by): Create separate, smart lists instead of one monster list. Shopping – one list per store Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe’s, pharmacy – whatever you actually shop at. Bonus: share...

Hey, Reader! Overwhelm isn't a sign you're failing—it's a signal something needs to shift. These seven habits have carried me through the busiest seasons, and they still work because they're simple, repeatable, and rooted in how God actually wired us for rest, joy, and rhythm. Prioritize real sleep Your brain and soul need 7–9 hours of consistent rest. Same bedtime, same wake time—even on weekends. When we're exhausted, everything feels heavier than it is. God built a rhythm of work and rest...

Hey, Reader! Your phone is winning. It pings, it glows, it steals hours you’ll never get back. Here are the four moves that actually work in 2025. I’ve used every one of them for years. They still work better than any new app or “focus mode” gimmick. Clear your home screen completely. Leave only your wallpaper showing. Nothing in the dock if you can stand it (I keep four essentials). First thing you see when you unlock? A photo that makes you smile — your dog, your kid, a sunset — not a wall...
