So what if the most important project you ever started wasn't a book, a company, a movement,

0:07.5

but the complete intentional, sometimes messy, redesign of your own life?

0:13.8

What if you gave yourself a two-year window, all focused, all in, you know, just a season

0:19.1

of learning and doing, to set the foundation for the

0:22.2

most fulfilling two decades of your life. I first shared this adventure with you, this thing I call

0:27.5

my two by 20, about a year and a half ago, I guess. And for nearly two years now, 24 months of
