80. Step 4: The Design - Upgrading the 99% (4 of 6 in the Cool Change Method™ Series)

This is the fourth step in the Cool Change journey—a series that guides you through navigating meaningful transitions with clarity, courage, and intention.

After:

🌱 The Stirring – when something within you begins to shift

🪞 The Mirror – when you start seeing yourself more clearly

🔥 The Disruption – when old patterns break and new truths emerge…

…comes 🧭 The Design: the moment you stop drifting and begin shaping your life on purpose.

But here’s the twist: design doesn’t start with massive reinvention.

It starts with small, seemingly insignificant moments—the quiet 99% of life that most of us overlook.

In this episode, Chuck shares a pivotal story from his early 20s, when a Tony Robbins course and a bowl of instant oatmeal shifted everything. That experience launched a lifelong practice of life design, rooted not in control or planning—but in intention, iteration, and everyday joy.

You’ll learn:

• Why the key to change isn’t dramatic decisions, but subtle upgrades
• How to identify where your life has become smaller than it needs to be
• A simple “1–10” tool that can immediately increase your daily sense of meaning
• What it feels like to shift from reacting to designing
• How to choose a direction—even if you don’t know the destination
