I used to think bucket lists were kind of cheesy… until I made one.
Then I printed it on a four-foot poster and hung it in my house.
That one exercise completely changed how I see my life.
In this solo episode of The Optimist, I break down how a simple homework assignment from a coach turned into the most profound and energizing thing I’ve ever done:
creating a list of 300 things to do before I die.
I’ll share:
- How I came up with the list (with a little help from ChatGPT)
- Why 300 is the magic number
- How I designed the poster and what happened when strangers at Kinko’s read it
- The sniper rifle story (yes, really)
- And why this list has become my favorite tool for staying inspired, grounded, and excited about the future
Want your own poster?
The first 5 people who DM me their list — even if it’s messy or unfinished — I’ll design and ship you your very own version for free.
No fluff. No coaching funnel. Just a gift from me to you.
Make your list. Hang it up. Watch your life change.
