65 Days Down, 10 to Go! 3 LESSONS I’VE LEARNED FROM THE 75 HARD CHALLENGE
1. WE LIE TO OURSELVES — AND STOPPING THOSE LIES MAKES LIFE BETTER. This is one of Andy’s big lessons. We all tell ourselves small lies: “I’m going to stop eating junk food. I’m going to read more books. I’m going to be a better person.” Then, we break those promises and devalue our word. 75 Hard is different. I told myself what could have been a lie — I’m going to finish the 75 Hard Challenge — but I’m sticking to it! Honoring my word feels good, and I will carry that integrity forward. 2. WE’RE STRONGER THAN WE THINK. The hardest part of the 75 Hard Challenge for me is drinking a gallon of water daily. At one point, I caught a stomach bug, and nothing sounded worse than drinking an entire gallon of water! I almost quit. But in the end, I picked up that water bottle. Later, I thought about this David Goggins quote: “When your mind is telling you you’re done, you’re really only 40% done.” 3. IF WE PUT SOMETHING OFF REPEATEDLY, SOON IT WILL BE TOO LATE. You can’t grow as a person unless you lean into discomfort — and if you procrastinate on experiencing that discomfort, you’ll never grow! I can’t believe how much I’ve learned simply by reading 10 pages of nonfiction daily, something I put off over and over before starting 75 Hard. If you’re procrastinating on something big in your life, start today because someday it will be too late.
As I write this, I’m on day 65
2023 APR
of Andy Frisella’s 75 Hard Challenge. He calls it “the only program that can permanently change your life.” It has already changed mine!
I learned about 75 Hard a few years ago from
friends who dared to try it. Then, I saw Andy speak at a business conference. I really wanted to give 75 Hard a shot and test my mental toughness. But I was nervous! It sounded difficult , and I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d commit to it and then fail spectacularly. You have to follow six strict rules for all 75 days of 75 Hard, including finishing two 45-minute workouts
every day (including at least one outside), giving up alcohol, reading 10 pages of nonfiction each day, and drinking over a gallon of water daily.
I’ve experienced a lot of inspiring moments over the last 65 days. My mind is clearer, my body feels stronger, and I even watched online while Zack ran 7.8 kilometers for charity! He joined
Scary, right? I knew that to stick with the program, I’d need to find someone else equally crazy to do it with me — so I called my wife’s younger brother, Zack. When he turns it on, he can run insane distances and complete tough fitness challenges. “If you do this with me and we both make it, then at the end of the 75 days, we’ll go shopping and pick out new shoes,” I told him. “Deal?”
Blue Devils basketball player Stanley Borden’s fundraising run for victims of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It was inspiring to watch. I love seeing people give back some of their time and energy to raise awareness for those less fortunate.
“Alright,” Zack said. “I’m in!”
Have you done the 75 Hard Challenge? I should be finished by the time you read this, and I’d love to know what you learned. You can email your thoughts to Josh@chiro1source.com.
We agreed to the challenge around Christmas last year, but I may not have found the courage to start without Zack. Exactly 66 days ago, he texted me, “This is it; we’re starting today!” I talked him into giving me 24 hours, but we kicked off the challenge the next morning — and I’m glad we did. Even though Zack keeps telling me I’m doing “75 Soft” compared to his daily 12-mile runs, I’ve learned three big life lessons in the last 65 days.
Skiers, Ba DNA Vibe’s
Fly a Kite Like a Pro
A few weeks ago, the team at DNA Vibe opened a message from Colorado Rockies baseball star Daniel Bard.
3 EXPERT TIPS AND TRICKS
“Hey, I have been using your product for a couple of months now, and I’m a big fan,” the all-star pitcher wrote. “I would love to share some units with my Rockies teammates.”
That feedback should have blown DNA Vibe CEO and Founder Perry Kamel away! But he took it in stride with a grin on his face. At this point, he’s used to athletes, chiropractors, grandmothers, and everyone in between going wild over DNA Vibe’s signature product: the Jazz Band.
Flying a kite is a quintessential spring activity, especially for children. But if you struggled to keep your kite in the air as a kid, you’re not alone. Fortunately, you can use a few simple tricks to significantly improve your skills — and help your child become the best kite-flier on the block. FIND THE RIGHT SPOT. Hopefully, it goes without saying that you shouldn’t fly kites near power lines. Flying it near trees and cars is also a bad idea. It’s best to have at least a quarter-mile open space around you for safety and the best wind conditions. Beaches, empty sports fields, and parks with wide open areas are the perfect places to get your kite airborne.
WHAT IS THE JAZZ BAND? The Jazz Band is a cutting-edge, wearable infrared light therapy device that delivers relief through four complementary modes: red, near-infrared, pulsed magnetic, and micro-vibration. These modes work in harmony to reduce inflammation, stiffness, and pain while accelerating recovery. The device is made in the U.S.A. from a rubbery, flexible silicone that makes it incredibly versatile.
HAVE THE WIND AT YOUR BACK. Literally! This position will allow you to watch your kite as it ascends into the air. On a sufficiently windy day, simply holding the kite up by its lowest point and letting go as you unspool your string will be enough to launch it into the sky. When it’s not windy enough for your kite to take flight, try a long-line launch by unspooling about 50 feet of string in a straight line and then taking off running. Remember that kite-flying simply won’t work on some days. If your kite keeps crashing tail first, it may indicate too little wind, while a head-first kite fall may mean too strong a breeze. KEEP IT TIGHT. Launching your kite is usually the trickiest part of the process, but keeping it aloft isn’t always straightforward. To ensure your kite stays in the air, you must retain tension on the string — but not too much. It’s time to reel out some of the line when the kite begins to tug. But too much string
HOW DOES IT WORK? “It’s about a foot long and half a foot wide, and the elliptical geometry is computer-optimized to fit every part of the human body,” Perry explains. “You can literally wrap it around the neck, elbow, hands, feet, shoulder, back — anywhere!”
can weigh down your kite and bring it back to earth. When your line starts to slack, slowly spool it in until it feels taut. Keep your eyes on your kite and your mind on the reel, and you’ll be flying like a pro in no time.
aseball Players, and Grandmothers Agree: s Jazz Band Really Works!
The Jazz Band’s design allows it to lay flush against the body and evenly distribute both vibrations and light energy. This effectiveness and versatility set it apart in a chiropractor’s arsenal. Patients with multiple aches and pains can use the Jazz Band anywhere on their body instead of storing multiple products that gather dust after a one-time use. WHO CAN IT HELP? Our team here at Chiro1Source has sold hundreds of Jazz Bands to chiropractors for use in the office and for direct-to-patient sales. According to Perry, you shouldn’t limit those sales to one demographic. The Jazz Band is equally suited to pro athletes (all five of the world’s best skiers swear by it), middle-aged dads feeling achy after a golf game, and grandmas who want to loosen up their muscles to run around with the grandkids. “People primarily use it for preventing injury and also recovering from injuries, surgery, or other chronic conditions,” Perry says. “Athletes from skiers to pro pitchers put it on for 20–30 minutes before training and competing. In just that amount of time, it gives them a little more range of motion and a little more flexibility.” While he doesn’t advertise it, patients have also told Perry that the Jazz Band has helped with kidney stones, gout, and other ailments. In February, Women’s World featured a retired nurse with osteoarthritis who swore by the Jazz Band and told the publication, “Red light therapy cured my knee pain!” Overall, 97% of Jazz Band users report improvement.
“These two stories taken together say a lot,” said Perry, pointing to Daniel Bard’s message and the Women’s World feature. “Superstar athletes who depend on their bodies for their livelihood and who can choose any
technology that can give them an edge are flocking to DNA Vibe, and everyday moms, dads, grandparents, and kids (aka mere mortals) are also experiencing life-changing results.” Your patients could be next!

‘Free Time’ Helps Us Save Our Most Precious Resource BEATING THE CLOCK
Time is money, as the adage goes. But author Jenny Blake believes time is our life force, making it much too precious to waste. In her 2022 book, “Free Time: Lose the Busy Work, Love Your Business,” she argues that many entrepreneurs aren’t making the most of this crucial resource and suggests sustainable changes to how many of us do business. Being busy has become a virtue in our culture. People who aren’t constantly busy are seen as lazy and unproductive — and no one expects an unbusy entrepreneur to be successful. But Blake turns this thinking on its head. She argues that you can build the business you want without sacrificing the rest of your life. Further, many things we spend so much time on are unnecessary. Blake’s approach to conquering the hamster wheel of entrepreneurship involves creating workable systems and a winning team. Many tasks we think no one else can handle can often be automated and outsourced to others. While many entrepreneurs think their only options are to do it all or hire a small army, Blake advocates for a “delightfully tiny team” that can get more done with improved processes. There’s no one-size-fits-all system for every business, but “Free Time” will help any reader discover theirs. The exercises and recommendations will give you plenty of food for thought and
actionable ways to find your ideal work/life balance — which, as Blake notes in the book, is different for everyone. Business leaders are used to books and courses that promote growth at all costs. That’s fine for
some, but not everyone wants to scale their business endlessly. Sometimes, small-business owners want to keep their businesses small — and there’s nothing wrong with that. Blake shares that she limits her work to 30 hours a week because she values her other pursuits. The idea may sound impossible now, but there are many ways to reduce your current workload without sacrificing your continued success. “Free Time” is for people currently bogged down with “The Burdensome B’s.” If you’re bored, bottlenecked, burned out, or buried by bureaucracy, this book will help you reclaim your life. Blake reminds us that our time is much more precious than money. Isn’t it time you learned to use yours more wisely?
