The Power of Daily Commitment
Inspired by a story about Jerry Seinfeld, who committed to writing one joke a day, marking an X on his calendar each time, I decided to do the same—not with jokes, but with knowledge.
I chose one person per year and committed to studying them for at least 15 minutes a day. Every single day, I marked an X, and over the past decade, I’ve built a streak of more than 3,000 X’s in a row.
This habit shaped The Compound Commitment, the philosophy that drives this website and podcast. Success in wealth, health, and happiness isn’t about huge leaps—it’s about small, intentional steps, repeated over time.
“You will never feel proud of your work if you find no joy within it; your best work is always joyful work.”
STEVIE WONDER
Who I’ve Studied
Each year, I immersed myself in the mindset, habits, and strategies of one person—absorbing their wisdom, applying their principles, and extracting lessons to share with you.
On every page of this website, you’ll find quotes from these individuals, along with the year I studied them.
- Year 1 – Warren Buffett (Investing & Long-Term Thinking)
- Year 2 – Thich Nhat Hanh (Mindfulness & Presence)
- Year 3 – Gary Gray (Human Movement & Performance)
- Year 4 – Pat Flynn (Entrepreneurship & Passive Income)
- Year 5 – Lenny Paraccino (Manual Therapy & Movement Science)
- Year 6 – John Berardi (Nutrition & Behavior Change)
- Year 7 – John Mayer (Guitar & Creativity)
- Year 8 – Allen Stone (Singing & Artistry)
- Year 9 – Stevie Wonder (Piano & Mastery)
- Year 10 – Ray Dalio (Principles & Economics)
Why This Matters
I believe growth isn’t accidental—it’s intentional. The people we learn from shape who we become.
By studying the best in their fields, I’ve discovered common principles that apply to wealth-building, health optimization, and finding lasting happiness.
That’s what The Compound Commitment is all about—helping you take small, daily actions that lead to massive results in your life.

Hard Work Pays Off
Before I ever started The Compound Commitment, I learned the power of consistent effort on the basketball court.
My journey at Gonzaga University was documented in a 14-minute film that captures the mindset of dedication, perseverance, and growth—the same mindset that drives everything I do today.
The same principles that helped me succeed in basketball—daily discipline, learning from the best, and never breaking the chain of progress—are what drive my approach to Wealth, Health, and Happiness today.
If you’re ready to make small changes that will compound into something great, you’re in the right place.
“Success isn’t the money you make; it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”
