Starting A Daily Deposit Will Change Your Life.

What’s up, everyone? This is Bryant Ferate!

For the past 7 years have coached with some of the most amazing student-athletes as the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at the University of Portland. I work directly with Women’s Basketball, Baseball, Men’s Soccer, and Men’s Track. Before Portland, I worked with the Minnesota Twins minor league system, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas at Arlington, and Washington State University (Go Cougs).

On top of coaching, I love exploring my curiosity through my podcast (The Bryant Ferate Podcast) and my weekly email newsletter (Ferate’s 5).

Connecting, coaching, podcasting, and writing all come back to the most important things in my life.

1. Impacting other people’s lives.

2. Cultivating curiosity and consistency in others.

3. Gaining more clarity in what it is that I truly want to want.

4. Becoming more of the type of person I wish to become.

All of that has inspired me to start the Daily Deposit. This newsletter will deliver Daily Deposits, more insight into what that means, and how you can apply it to your life right now. The major key right there is direct application because, for many of us, it isn’t an information problem it is more of an issue of execution.

Are you ready?

A daily deposit is a consistent intentional commitment to investing in yourself.

There is a lot of inspiration within this idea and starting this newsletter. It started with Josh Bonhotal (former Chicago Bulls & Purdue Men’s Basketball Performance Coach) posting his streak of working out over the past few years on Twitter. He first used the term “Daily Deposit”

Then Brad Scott (Director of Strength and Conditioning for the Atlanta Braves) shared with me that one of his previous goals or deposits was to train for a minimum of 30 minutes every day.

I started doing the same. Without a doubt, I will invest in my health for a minimum of 30 minutes each day.

Then it started to spread into other areas of my life and I built out my 6 pack of Daily Deposits.

1. Podcasting

2. Writing

3. Coaching

4. Connecting

5. Curiosity

6. My physical health (Training)

Ryan Holiday is one of my favorite writers of all time. I love the Daily Stoic emails, books, podcasts, and all the other content that teaches small consistent doses of Stoicism. Ryan has done the same thing with Daily Dad and even inspired his mentor, Robert Greene to write the Daily Laws and Steven Pressfield to do the same.

Here is my commitment to you. This is the start of the Daily Deposit. Where I will deliver value that will change your life. Not by one big insane change, challenge, moment, or experience but by consistent daily deposits and investments into making you the best version of yourself.

Think about someone you love. Your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, parent, best friend, or even your dog. You don’t love them because of that one specific moment or day, you love them for all the “small” moments that add up over a lifetime.

It is the same for you loving yourself and investing in yourself.

So let’s do it, together, because I am still trying to become the best version of myself. It doesn’t come from having it all “figured out” because no one does. It comes from being curious and genuinely wanting to change your life. It comes from loving yourself like your life depends on it because it does.

That’s magic. That’s “The Voice”. That’s the commitment. That’s love.

I appreciate you being here from the beginning. This is going to be fun. If you scrolled back to this OG post and page 1 of this whole thing, here is a fist bump. Appreciate you!

ACTION - REPLY VIA EMAIL - What is your daily deposit? What is that one thing that you have to do every day?

If you haven’t already it would mean the world if you could subscribe and send this to someone who means a lot to you! Here is the link to one of my favorites!

Keep stacking those Daily Deposits and making every day the best day of the year until tomorrow.
