A little less “one day.” A little more giving it a go.
Make what matters happen
Ideas are more useful
when you put them into practice.
Reading about habits, resilience, or learning is one thing. Trying them in real life is another. These videos are where ideas become experiments—from practicing ASL to tackling a race or creating something new.
Some teach. Some document. All begin with a question:
What matters to you—and what would happen if you started?

A note from Chris
Why I keep
pressing record.
Curiosity is usually where it starts.
I'm an educator, author, composer, husband, father, and lifelong learner. I've always loved learning things and figuring out how they work. Sharing that process can help someone else take a first step.
A race video might help you sign up for an event. An ASL lesson might open the door to a new language. A creative experiment might give you the nudge to make something of your own.
If one video helps you move something from “someday” to “today,” it did its job.
