Join us Thursday, September 18th, 5-7 PM for the Heroic Arizona September Member + Guest Meeting
What Is Heroic? Let's Answer This Together
If you've ever struggled to explain what Heroic is to a friend or family member, you're not alone. How do you succinctly capture something that weaves together ancient stoic wisdom, modern positive psychology, and practical behavioral tools? How do you describe a movement that's both deeply personal and globally ambitious—working toward 51% of humanity flourishing by 2051?
The truth is, Heroic isn't just one thing. It's a comprehensive approach to human potential that combines:
- Ancient wisdom from the greatest philosophical minds in history
- Modern science of positive psychology and behavioral change
- Practical tools that help you show up as your best self daily
But here's what we've discovered: the most powerful way to understand Heroic isn't through explanation—it's through story.
A Different Kind of Meeting: Your Stories Matter
This September gathering marks a pivotal shift in how we build community together. In past meetings, we've focused heavily on teaching and presenting. While education matters, we've realized something crucial: real community engagement happens when we learn from each other's lived experiences.
As we prepare to expand Heroic throughout Arizona—from our established Phoenix community to our historic Tucson launch in October—we need to model what authentic local community looks like. That means moving beyond one-way teaching to genuine two-way sharing.
The Roundtable Magic We're Bringing to You
Our weekly Heroic Arizona roundtables have become something special. While we always include a brief teaching moment, the real transformation happens when participants share their heroic journeys with each other. We're bringing this proven format to our September meeting.
Come prepared to share:
Your Hero Bar
What's something significant you accomplished or overcame this past week? This could be:
- A fear you faced and conquered
- A difficult conversation you finally had
- A commitment you kept despite wanting to quit
- A moment you chose courage over comfort
Your Micro Moment of Awesome ✨
What small action did you take that made someone smile or changed a life in some tiny way? Remember:
- The ripple effects of these moments can be profound
- Sometimes the smallest gestures create the biggest impact
- These moments reveal our character in action
Why Your Story Matters
When you share your hero bar, you're not just celebrating your growth—you're giving others permission to see what's possible. When you describe your micro moment of awesome, you're demonstrating how Heroic principles show up in daily life.
This is how we answer "What is Heroic?"—not through abstract concepts, but through concrete examples of real people living with greater purpose, vitality, and joy.
Our Mission in Action
At Heroic, we're on a mission to help people and teams express their full potential and live with greater purpose, vitality and joy, so together we can help 51% of humanity flourish by 2051. Our vision is to make personal development accessible to everyone.
But missions aren't fulfilled through corporate strategies alone. They're fulfilled when individuals like you discover their heroic potential and share it with their community. They're fulfilled when local gatherings become laboratories for human flourishing.
The Bigger Picture: Building Arizona's Foundation
This September meeting launches our most ambitious fall season yet:
- September: Strengthen our Phoenix foundation through shared stories
- October: Historic expansion to Tucson (16th) and join Michael Balchan and Jana Dybinski for a special breakfast event on the 24th.
- November: Showcase our values to a national audience through our Ragnar partnership Nov 01/02.
Each event builds on the last, and it all starts with the authentic community connections we'll forge on September 19th.
Ready to Share Your Heroic Journey?
Whether you're new to Heroic or a longtime community member, come prepared to:
- Listen deeply to others' stories of growth and impact
- Share authentically from your own heroic journey
- Connect genuinely with fellow Arizonans committed to flourishing
- Experience firsthand what makes our local community special
This isn't just another meeting—it's a chance to be part of something historic. As we build the Heroic movement across Arizona, your story becomes part of the larger narrative of human potential and community transformation.
