Not everyone is the right fit for Compete to Live, and that’s intentional. The name itself—Compete—sets the expectation: this is for people who are ready to do the work. The goal isn’t to make life easier with shortcuts or quick fixes. The goal is to make life better by fully engaging with it. That means putting in the effort to be present, think deeply, and optimize health in a way that aligns with what truly matters to you.
The Reality: No Shortcuts to a Better Life
Most businesses, technologies, and services are designed to make life easier. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when it comes to living better, ease isn’t the answer. Being present in your relationships, making conscious choices, and setting meaningful priorities all require effort.
Health is no different. In today’s wellness industry, many solutions oversimplify complex issues. Take weight loss, for example. A new drug might help you shed pounds, but what’s the real goal? Feeling better? Living longer? Moving without pain? Looking good in a swimsuit? Weight is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. If you’re not thinking beyond the scale, you’re missing the bigger picture.
Who Should Not Join Compete to Live
This program isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. If any of the following describes you, this might not be the right fit:
You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all approach to health and life optimization.
You want a quick fix rather than a long-term commitment to improvement.
You’re unwilling to reflect on life, death, and what truly matters to you.
You don’t want to track progress over time or adjust your approach as needed.
You prefer to figure things out alone, rather than within a supportive community.
The magic of this program comes from mortality reflection, expert guidance in health optimization, and community support. If you’re not open to all three, this may not be the best fit for you.
Who Will Thrive in Compete to Live
If any of the following resonate with you, this program could change your life:
You feel like you’re going through the motions and want to rekindle passion and purpose.
You’re open to exploring the nature of death and using it as a tool to live better.
You want to go deeper into your health, beyond what doctors or fitness fads provide.
You’re willing to set clear priorities so that your health and actions align with your goals.
You see the value in accountability and support from like-minded individuals.
What This Program Isn’t
Compete to Live is not a military-style boot camp, nor is it a one-size-fits-all prescription for health and happiness. We recognize that different people are motivated in different ways. Some prefer to fine-tune their diet over committing to intense exercise, while others will train for hours just to keep eating what they love. Some want every possible health metric tracked, while others prefer a more intuitive approach. That’s why rigid formulas don’t work—we tailor the approach to the individual. But one thing is non-negotiable: you must be an active participant in your own life.
All we ask is that you take the time to reflect on what truly matters so we can create a clear North Star for your life. Once that’s established, we’ll guide you every step of the way in optimizing your health. We’ll meet you where you are, but we won’t drag you forward. If you’re not willing to put in effort, this isn’t the right program for you.
The Bottom Line
Compete to Live has the power to transform lives—but only for those willing to compete. If you’re looking for a prescriptive, easy-to-follow regimen, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to think deeply about life and death, and use that awareness to shape a more meaningful, healthier future, this program will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, then let’s get started. It’s time to Compete to Live.
