Welcome to the Daily Stood Podcast, where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life. Each one of these passages is based on a 2,000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStood.com. Today is a miracle.

It's kind of a funny tradition when you think about it, isn't it? How we stay up late each year and count down the final seconds of the year together. Five, four, three, two, one, happy new year. We cheer, we celebrate.

It's a big show to mark the end of the year. But how many of us in a rush for a kiss or as the glasses clink together really feel what's just happened? Those seconds we were counting down were seconds we'll never get back. Our time here tick, ticking away.

A year of our lives has gone forever. Tempest viewed it. Memento. Morrie.

The stokes did not take note of how fast time flies in the shortness of life to be morbid. No, they sought invigoration. They sought perspective. They sought clarity.

Seneca said that if you went to bed thinking that you would live your whole life, the morning would feel like a bonus. Usually when people are thinking about supplements or training, they're thinking about recovery, they're thinking about protein, they're thinking about creatine, but one of the most overlooked pieces is gut health. If your gut is not dialed in, everything else struggles to work the way it should. And that's where Memento's fiber plus comes in.

Memento's fiber plus addresses one of the most overlooked foundations of long-term performance. That is gut health. Because fiber is not just about digestion, it's the key driver of gut health, which directly impacts a bunch of things, nutrient absorption, energy stability, recovery, focus mood, and overall performance. Memento's fiber plus is a complete three-in-one formula with soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and prebiotic resistant starch.

Like everything Memento's makes fiber plus is built with a science-first formulation clean and minimal ingredients and no artificial additives or artificial flavors. And right now, Memento's offering our listeners up to 35% off your first order with promo code dailystoic. Head over to livemomentas.com, use promo code dailystoic for up to 35% off your first order. That's livemomentas.com promo code dailystoic.

We can apply the same thinking annually. 2024 is dead and gone. Who we were in 2024 is dead and gone. Here we are lucky enough to rise again in 2025, a year that perhaps many of us did not ever expect to see.

We have beaten death. We have been given a fresh chance at life. Who will we be? How will we spend it?

This is an incredible gift you have been given, a wonderful opportunity. Forget business as usual. Live. Have something to show for the next 365 days.

Have something to show for today for this very moment. If you want to do something awesome and exciting, you want to step into 2025 with a vengeance? Why don't you join us? In the Daily Stowak New Year, New Year, New Year Challenge, I already kicked off the year with a cold plunge into the Gulf of Mexico with my family.

As the people from all over the world have already taken a big step toward self-improvement and making sure this will be a year they experience life to the fullest, what we're doing, we're doing 21 days of Stowak inspired challenges designed to help us make big changes, be present, develop resistance and start great habits. And this happens every single year, poor Ashley and our customer service. Tons and tons of people email on January 1st and ask if they could still join. Did they miss out?

Can they still do the challenge? And the answer is, of course, it would be crazy not to let them in because this year is important. It's going to be challenging and we want to be able to rise and meet that challenge. And here we are still in the glow of the celebration, the possibilities of a new year.

And so this year, we're going to keep it open until the 3rd. The first session we're all doing together is going to be on the 4th. So we're keeping it open until January 3rd, which means you can still sign up, do all the challenges, participate in all the live Q&A's and everything else we're doing together. It's not too late.

I want to see it in the Daily Stowak New Year New Challenge. Sign up at dailystowak.com. I'll put a link in today's show notes and if you're thinking about really making a commitment you want to do Daily Stowak Life, there's a page that'll pop up as you're signing up for the challenge that will let you get this challenge and all our challenges for free. You can also just go to dailystowaklife.com.

Let's make this an awesome year. Just be what we're capable of being you had plans to do a thing to start the year off with a bang. Now let's actually do it and let's do it right now. This year, this moment, today, dailystowak.com challenge, I will see you in there.
