My birthday was on the 1st of January. I celebrated with some friends. That took all day. On January 2nd my wife and I got dog. On the 3rd I washed all the floors in our apartment and washed the dog. Today I am attempting to start what will be my “New Self”, or “Continued Self”, or “Whit 2.0”. Call it what you will – this is what I’ll be focusing on before I turn 30.

Work, Body, Self

My Work
The long short; I’ll be attempting to create a film.
This is a process that I began over five years ago, but was put on the back burner as I started a full time job. I won’t be telling you all about the film in this blog post, that will come in the not so distant future. Part of this process will also include:

- Filming interviews of people who help me throughout the process
- Blogging about the process

Lets be clear that there is a lot of work to do on this project, including a lot of writing to be done, but I’m starting to get my ducks in a row. You will be able to find everything about my film on my blog.

My Body
Setting specific goals for my body. I’m a pretty skinny guy with not so big muscles. This may not be a big deal to you, but adding 20 pounds of muscle to my body would be huge. Last year I joined a gym and have noticed what a difference it has made in how I feel from day to day. Not only do I have more energy, but I have more drive. If you work out, you probably know what I mean. For those of you who don’t know, I play ultimate Frisbee. So it’s not that I don’t run around all the time. In fact, I’m a very active person. It’s just time to set actual goals for my body to track any physical change.

There are three entrepreneurs who I look up to that are very conscious about their physical being; Loic Le Meur, Tim Ferriss and Dan Martell. All three of them openly talk about how important exercise is for them. I’ll be writing about this more soon, but to give you an idea of what I’ll be doing you can check out Tim Ferriss’ new book “The 4-Hour Body”. Getting in to the specifics – I’ll start with a slight diet change and a slight workout change. More to come on that. Tim, I’ll be trying to track you down for advice sometime soon.

P.S. I met Tim Ferriss once when he came into our offices for an interview. Seems like a very nice guy.

Self
I’ve done a lot of thinking over the past few years, wondering exactly what it is I want for myself. I’d like to explore this some more, and now I feel as though I’ll have the ‘space’ in which to do this. You’ll probably see my reflections on this in random blog posts moving forward.

There are several people who I have contacted to help me through this process. This isn’t a journey I plan on doing alone.

I could use help from anyone who is interested. Please contact me via my contact form if you are. If you would just like to follow along please to follow me using RSS, or e-mail where, yes, I will e-mail you when I update my blog. *old school*
