The coach of the U.S. chess boxing team dropped out of law school to go all-in on the sport. Matt Thomas built the American team, which includes a lawyer, a Cornell math major, and a military veteran. In 2018, Thomas became the first American to win a world chess boxing title. https://t.co/nXE3py0Gd9

I don't set goals like most others.

I pick challenges that scare me, ones I'm likely to fail. Then, I use that fear of failure to fuel the discipline, drive, and progress to become the version of myself that has a better chance at that challenge.

I did it for myself selling out venues, landing spots on emmy-award winning casts, and becoming a chessboxing world champion.

Now, I coach others using the same goals system, Kaizen and Misogi, which I broke down for free in my latest newsletter. Check the first comment to give it a shot!

@Faux_Freedom Hot take: 6/6/26 will be the end of leagues and they’ll open it up for one day in Fally to massacre each other with OP leagues gear before it ends
