📅 What I'm starting: 2021 Challenge!
- I've been preparing for this 2021 Challenge for years. And I feel like the time to step-up has come. Looking forward to a fun year of learning and growing together!

🎶 What I finished: 2020 Challenge!
- One of the reasons I found myself able to commit to this new, seemingly impossible, 2021 Challenge is because of the 2020 Challenge. Last January I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I committed to releasing a song / month. The musicians out there surely knew how naive of a goal this was. It turns out that releasing a song / month for seasoned pros is a lot, nonetheless, someone with basically zero experience. But it's what the 12th and final song is all about. I believe there is "strength in innocence," power in not knowing all the obstacles ahead, of not knowing what (others think) is possible. I think it's this "innocence" that gives you the ability to embark on something hard, something worthwhile. Because if we knew how hard it would be ahead of time, it's likely we'd never start. And if we knew "what was possible" we'd be confined to that belief. Innocence brings new
limits.

🥩 What's coming (Part 1):
- As I briefly mentioned in the 2021 Challenge video, I've been working all year (2020) on building Meat Health Academy. It's going to be my "magnum opus," a nutrition program to end nutrition programs. It's going to be everything you need to optimize nutrition to create health, reverse disease, build muscle, lose fat, no matter where you are, no matter where you want to go. I have invested more in education than anything else in my life. I believe it's the best investment one can make. And
my goal for this program is that it is the best investment anyone ever makes in their life. I still have about 3 months of work to do before completion, but I'll keep you up-to-date here (and, of course, I have something special for newsletter members).

💤 What's coming (Part 2):
- While most people know me via my nutrition research and writing, I've spent my entire professional career in a niche area of dentistry called Dental Sleep Medicine. I believe sleep and nutrition are the bedrocks of health. And one thing that I've seen over and over: if you get nutrition and sleep right, life gets good. And in the 2021 Challenge video I mentioned NED. I started developing "NED" about 5 years ago to help better treat my patients. After years of prototyping and wading through the patent process both finally came to fruition this year.
- So coming in 2021, I'll be discussing more about optimizing sleep to optimize your life. Just like "eat meat, drink water" is a beautifully simple mantra for the carnivore diet, there tends to be more to it than that. Similarly, sleep should be as easy as "shut your eyes," but just like the modern world / food inventions disrupted nutrition, a similar story has adversely impacted sleep.

↗ What I'm most excited to watch in 2021:
- I think bitcoin is going to steal the headlines in 2021. I'm frequently asked "where to get started" with bitcoin. And while I've done a deep dive, taking courses in blockchain technology, applications, and algorithms I don't think this is any more necessary than needing to know the protocols behind how your email works. But here are some resources I've found very helpful in getting started with bitcoin:

🤯 What stat is still blowing my mind:
- I sent out 2.5 million Saturday 7 newsletters this year. And I just want to say THANK YOU for letting me come into your life and spend some time and thoughts with you. Time is our most precious resource, and I take the fact that you let me share some with you very seriously, and I appreciate it more than you know. I'm really looking forward to continuing the journey with you in 2021!

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend and Happy New Year!
