Kick off January 1st, 2026 with the first step to your best year.
"How much longer are you going to wait until you demand the best for yourself?" - Epictetus
Stop delaying and stop putting it off. Do NOT wait until January 1st to join.
Start 2026 With Structure, Discipline, and a Clear Path Forward
For 21 days, you’ll be pushed to become the best version of yourself.
This is not a course you “consume.”
It’s a challenge you do.
One challenge, once a day, for three weeks.
Simple. Direct. Transformative.
You'll know what to do, how to do it, and why it works.
If you’ve ever wanted a clear, meaningful way to begin the year - a way that isn’t about resolutions, hacks, or hype - this is it.
Because stoicism is not a philosophy you “learn.”
It’s a philosophy you live.
One challenge each day.
Something concrete.
Something you can finish in 30 minutes or less.
Something that grounds you in who you want to be, not someday, but right now.
When You Join Today You'll Receive:
- 21 guided Stoic-inspired challenges
- Daily emails + explanations
- Private challenge community
- Live Q&A sessions with Ryan
- Downloadable tracking calendar
- Daily reflection & journaling prompts
- Lifetime access to the challenge materials
Everything you need is included. All you have to do is show up each day.
Who This Is For
Someone who:
- Wants to start the year grounded and focused, not scattered
- Wants structure and accountability
- Wants to strengthen their relationships
- Wants clarity about their direction
- Wants to eliminate unhealthy habits
- Wants to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and presence
- Feels they are capable of more
If you like Stoicism because it’s rational, practical, and actionable - this challenge is built exactly for you.
You Won't Do It Alone
One of the most powerful parts of the challenge is the community doing it with you.
Every day, CEOs, writers, artists, parents, professors, students, founders, athletes, people from around the world, will be completing the same challenge, reflecting on the same ideas, facing the same moments of discomfort and clarity.
You’ll feel the energy and the accountability which will keep you motivated and engaged throughout the challenge.
You’ll also get access to live Q&A sessions where I’ll answer questions, go deeper into the principles, and help you stay on course.
And to keep everything organized, you’ll receive a downloadable calendar and a space to journal your progress - a simple way to stay on track and reflect along the way.

- More emotional resilience
- Less stress and reactivity
- Stronger relationships
- Higher self-respect
- Increased discipline
- A deeper sense of meaning
- More calm and presence
- Better habits that stick

Make 2026 Your YEAR.
- The year you break free of bad habits.
- The year you get in the best shape of your life.
- The year your most important relationships deepen.
- The year you feel present, disciplined, and fulfilled.
- The year you become the best version of yourself.
If this challenge gave you just one new habit, one new perspective, or one new system, it would be worth the effort.
But this isn’t one thing. It's 21.
Twenty-one chances to interrupt old patterns and begin new ones.
Twenty-one actions to create a better you.

What are you waiting for?
Why start the year by reinforcing a bad habit?
Deciding you want to do something - then postponing it and telling yourself you’ll come back to it is not a great start to 2026.
If you strongly believe something will make you better, don’t distract yourself just to avoid the slight discomfort of having to make a decision. Decide now.
Don’t hesitate on actions you know will move you forward.
Don’t put it off for later because too often, later never comes.
Life gets "in the way."
We get distracted and that change we could have made in our lives, never gets to be realized.
We never get to enjoy its compounding effects in changing our lives.
So do yourself a favor.
Do 2026 a favor.
Join now.
We think you'll be glad you did.

NYNY surpassed my expectations and really got me back on track... So great work. It really was just what I needed to get momentum back into my life!

This is my second time doing the New Year, New You Challenge. Last year for me it was very uplifting, and this year all the comments in the discussion board are very insightful. Hearing from people all over the world helps you think more deeply about things.
- Roelanda
This is my third or fourth year in the challenge and it’s a great re-energizer for me. I’m a school district superintendent, and January starts to be sort of dog days of the school year so this is a good shot of adrenaline for the year! - Zac S
