A Bio-Psycho-Spiritual UltramarathonâŚ
Weâre raising the bar of spiritual and physical fitness to levels that would crush most people.
So when the calling comes, we are ready.
Ready to show up as a pillar of strength and composure for ourselves and those around us.
Ready to serve at the highest levels.
Ready for Life. Ready for Greatness.
Far beyond a 21-day habit building exercise, or a single 30-day challenge â this is a psycho-spiritual endurance test, an ultramarathon of the heart.
Weâre raising the bar of our own training, so that we can help others over it when the time comes.
When opportunity knocksâwhen fate calls upon youâwill you be caught off guard, messing around with your pants down around your ankles?
Or will you smile with that cool confidence of someone who has walked through hell and back, greeting the challenge like an old friend. âAh, Iâve been waiting for you!â
Warrior cultures never needed to âprepareâ for battle. They were always ready. They lived and breathed their training each day.
When the call came, they were ready.
Are you ready?
đžÂ Gamifying Greatness
We use a novel incentive mechanism that allows you to bet on your best Self.
For each day you are victorious (completing all disciplines), you get $1 back.
At the end of 100 days, youâre paid for the days you were successful.
This is being paid to perform.
This is getting rewarded for being great.
Place a bet on yourself. Bet on your own greatness. Bet on your Best.
We help you achieve this with:

âHold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself â and be lenient to everybody else.â â Henry Beecher
âŻď¸Â Part Spiritual Austerities, Part Physical Disciplines
Where science and spirituality meet. Each of these challenges has been selected because it is a time-tested spiritual discipline and a well-studied scientific practice.
The answer isnât usually found in the latest biohacking technique or dusty text. Itâs found in going deep in devotional discipline to transformative practices.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Cold showers help promote immunity and resiliency, stabilize energy levels, maintain healthy hair/skin, increase metabolic functioning and blood flow.
An ancient mind-body practice, used throughout the wisdom traditions. Fasting helps with hormonal rebalancing, overall body composition, autophagy, brain and mind functioning and clarity.
An exceptional practice for mental clarity, personal insight, and self-discovery. Stream-of-consciousness journalling helps to process challenging emotions, create calm and focused presence, solidify values and goals, and achieve mental clarity and acuity.
The foundation of all wisdom. An opportunity to improve concentration and focus, the foundation for awakening experiences. Meditation helps to: reduce baseline stress levels, cultivate mental resiliency, and facilitate deep personal insights.
Physical clutter leads to mental clutter. Warriors are ascetic for a reason, anything not serving your values is a distraction. Material downsizing and elimination fosters mental relaxation, and creates a beautiful environment to dwell in.
Your first challenge is to select your final ritual. A personal ritual of your choice helps maximize the value you get from this experience, and the other 5 disciplines will help create the conditions for you to succeed in making this a reality. More below.
đżÂ Your Personal Ritual
The personal ritual is the wildcard of this experience. The trojan horse containing the true transformative potential of this experience.
What is it that you need most right now? What practice, if done with sincere devotion for 100 days, would transform your life?
Here are some examples of potential personal rituals:
- Sunrise: Wake up with the sun and completely transform your daily existence.
- Write 500 words: Write every day for 100 days and have your first book drafted.
- Exercise: Transform your body and mind with a deeply-rooted exercise practice.
- Create: Make a painting, a poem, a social media post. Build a portfolio of creative work.
- Yoga: Daily yoga creates a life-long practice that youâll have with you for years to come.
- Fear: Do 1 thing that scares you every day and watch your relationship to the unknown transform.
- Learn: Spend 30 minutes learning a skill, become world class by the end of it.
The possibilities are limitless, and weâll help you ensure that you achieve it.
The Hero100 is a long-game, lasting results challenge. If you dig in and take it seriously, it WILL shape you far beyond the 100 days of participation.
You are sculpting yourself into lifelong heroism.
âWhat youâre aiming for is the heroâs holy trinity: paideia, arete, and xenia: skill, strength, and desire. Mind, body, and soul.â â Christopher MacDougall, Natural Born Heroes
You have to be a little crazyâŚ
A voluntary hundred-day undertaking of serious spiritual austerities, soul-forging physical challenges, and a relentless and unbroken commitment to yourself.
Others might think youâve gone insane.
But youâre already deep down the rabbit hole, arenât you?
Youâve seen what lies on the other side of serious personal work. You know the realms of wisdom and wonder waiting for you.
And if this is the kind of wild adventure that lights you up⌠youâre in luck!
Because weâre all crazy here. đÂ
Welcome home, hero.
âŚand you have to be mature.
The Hero100 requires discipline, surrender, and stamina.
You recognize that this is one mighty step in your personal and spiritual process.
- You are declaring, âI am ready to show up fully.â
- You are cementing total devotion to your purpose.
- You are prioritizing your highest Self.
- You are declaring love for your inner Hero.
This is a ritual of heroic embodiment. Take it on with honor and devotion. Come to see it through, all the way, no excuses.
But this is not for everyoneâŚ
For some, this might not be the answer right now.
- If you lack the capacity to set aside one hour per dayâŚ
- If you lack the integrity to honestly report your progressâŚ
- If you feel compelled to cheat or make excusesâŚ
This is NOT for you.
Being able to honor these commitments to yourself, your community, and your values is non-negotiable. You are still lacking a basic foundation of responsibility and maturity, without which a hero cannot thrive.

Youâd be a f*cking living legend, thatâs what! A modern-day hero, a true warrior-in-training.
That is what you will do over the course of the Hero100 if you did only the minimum thresholds. We will be doing this together, united as one. And we will be here, supporting you every step of the way, side-by-side. Our team will be participating in this as well, doing it alongside you.
âŠď¸Â The Road ContinuesâŚ
Aspiring Zen monks must wait for days in rain, snow, cold, and darkness at the entrance of a monastery before being granted access.
Some experiences are only made available to the truly committed.
This is just the beginning of our journey togetherâŚ
We have more challenges, in-person summits, and soul-testing initiations planned that will only be available to those who complete the Hero100.
This is the great filter. On the other side, legend awaits.
Will you be there?
Prove it.
The first day of the Live Community Challenge is April 1, 2023. We finish the 100 days on July 10, 2023.
Thatâs up to you. Itâs $200 to register. For each successful day, you earn $1. At the end of the experience, you are paid for your performance. If you complete the program fully, the final investment is $100.
At the end of the experience, we total your successful days and send you back that amount. If you complete 93 days successfully, you will be sent $93.
Completing all 6 daily disciplines. Each discipline has a minimum threshold (ie: 3 minutes of cold shower, 20 minutes of meditation) to be considered complete. When youâve done all 6, you have a successful day.
Honestly, yeah, you could. But imagine that for a moment. If you cheated every day, falsely reporting your progress â you will have spent over 3 months of your life, dozens of hours, and literally paid us $100 just to dishonor yourself, make no real progress, and negatively impact the integrity of our community. Itâs not worth it. If you plan on cheating, donât sign up.
We use an oracle system. Every day, an oracle from our team team will check your personal tracker to see if you completed the previous day. If you missed it, weâll follow up with you directly to help get you back on track. The most important thing is not missing two days in a row.
A community chat, your assigned oracle, positive behavioral incentives, and more. Every day our team ensures you completed the previous day, and checks in with you personally if you missed to help get you going again. You have access to our community platform, letting you ask questions, get motivation, and refocus. Weâve also gamified greatness: every day you complete successfully you are rewarded with $1. Itâs uses both positive incentives and loss aversion to help bring out your best.
The 6 daily disciplines take at minimum 1 hour per day to complete, including tracking your progress. We have ~10 minutes for the Personal Ritual of your choice, but you are welcome to choose a longer one (ie: 30 minute yoga, write 500 words, 20 minutes exercise) - just be sure to take that extra timing into account.
Overcome it. The 100 day length is designed specifically so that obstacles and unexpected events arise, so that they can be overcome. This is how you drive long-term, deeply-rooted lifestyle change.
We will use Zoom, Circle, and Notion. We will provide onboarding instructions for all of these once you register. Donât worry, itâs easy.
A self-guided version of the 100 days progress tracker. This is entirely open-source, you can take it and remix it as you please. Find it here:
But real quick â do you really want to continue perpetuating your story of being the âspecial oneâ that has to âdo it all by themselvesâ? Have you forgotten your deep human need for community and connection? You can do this for free, by yourself, but will you? Will you complete it? Will you give it your all? These experiences are more powerful when done together.
100 days leaves no room for chance. It takes you beyond discipline into the realms of surrender and devotion. This isnât a cheeky 30-day push that you drop afterward.
Absolutely. Cold showers and intermittent fasting are well tolerated, and have many physical and psychological benefits. This may not be appropriate for those with pre-existing heart or liver conditions, message us at rise@phoenixculture.earth if this is you or if you have any questions.
We are building warriors. Those who can handle weights that crush others, to show up as leaders, protectors, and allies. Each daily discipline has a rich scientific and spiritual history. Making these practices an embodied way of being will fundamentally change your body, mind, and soul â and thatâs exactly what weâre aiming for.
Thatâs entirely up to you. With a little bit of devotion, a dash of discipline, and the support of our crew, anything is possible.
You must be over 18. We need to know youâre an adult of sound mind as you make the conscious commitment to join us on this wild adventure.
