Hello; Happy February!

Can I get a 🙌 woop woop 🙌? We made it through January! Candidly, I think it is my least favorite month of the year: it’s cold, my gym gets insanely crowded due to the New Years resolutions crowd, and the sun sets at 4:30pm which feels borderline illegal. Even with the awfulness of JanEWWWary, there’s still a lot to be grateful for and I did have some pretty spectacular highlights for the first month of the year.

Who am I again? I am Brett Bejcek. I live by my top values of Exploration, Iteration, and Connection. Exploration is what I do; I do it through iteration; and I do it to create more connection. These days, I spend a lot of time working on a startup, Limitless. It is my main priority. Outside of work, I am prioritizing physical health, (re)building community, and cultivating creativity through interesting weekend projects.

An ask for you. What’s your favorite ice breaker? I want to create a bank of ice breaker activities + questions. Drop me a line at [email protected]

Fun Metrics. The goal of these metrics is to give you insight into my life. Normally from a business perspective, I tie all goals to metrics…but I am not a business, I am a silly human. Some of these are tied to goals, others are just a glimpse in my life. 🙂

How did I do on my goals last month?

Not to toot my own horn, I think I did pretty fantastic. All in all, I would give myself a check-minus. What’s holding me back from a check or even the ultra rare check-plus? Volunteering. I wish I would’ve gotten in some volunteer hours this month.
