Hello; Happy January! I hope you spent the holidays with a community of people that are important to you and lived experiences that nourished your soul. In honor of the new year, I am, at the very least, going to kick off a new tradition to see if it is helpful. As always, I reserve the right to abandon anything if it no longer serves its purpose; launch fast + learn + iterate 😉.

At work, every month I draft an investor update about the happenings of our company: a status report on the state of the business. I thought it would be fun to try the same thing but for myself, with the goals being to bring clarity to my commitments and to move the pendulum a bit more toward intentionality and slightly less away from reactive chaos.

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 for the purpose of creating more connection. I spend a lot of time working on a startup, Limitless, these days. It is my main priority. Outside of work, I am prioritizing physical health and (re)building community (it was an interesting year where a bulk of my closest friends left the city and for the first time in my life, I was the one to stay…normally I am the one to go).

An ask for you. If you know of anyone building cool things in NYC, let me know! Part of my 2025 goal is to surround myself with more builders. I feel most alive when I am with people who are creating for the sake of creating.

What am I prioritizing for this month?

Often when you get back from a trip, you use that high from the trip to try and change your entire life. Far too often I have made the mistake of trying to change way too much at once, resulting in me degrading back into a lifestyle that was actually worse than what I started with. My goals for this month are to:

Stop Start Continue
Any devices in the bedroom Volunteering opportunity Work as top priority
Breakfasts that don’t fuel me Posting more / writing more Working out
Fun lil’ creative side projects again

And that’s all. I am trying to keep things simple. I hope your January brings you what you want it to bring you.

Thanks for being part of my journey,
