The Goal Was 10,000 Steps

Welcome to Sync & Thrive, the bi-weekly newsletter for couples who believe a well-designed life starts with well-designed health habits. Every Friday, we share insights, and every Tuesday, we provide the reset to put them into practice. If this was forwarded to you, you can join us here.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

On Friday, we discussed shared novelty and why couples who consistently choose new experiences together build something that most couples slowly lose. Today, we want to show you what that actually looks like in practice.

Last week, Aaron and I committed to something deliberate. We were determined to hit 10,000 steps a day, and we meant it. By the end of the week, we had averaged 10,436 steps a day, which means we were walking close to a 10K race distance every single day. We set the goal because we wanted to move more together, and a goal without a plan is just a wish. So we built the days around it and made the steps happen by design, not by chance.

AI is moving faster than any other technology cycle in history. New models. New tools. New claims. New noise.

Most people feel like they’re behind. But the people that don’t, aren’t smarter. They’re just better informed.

Forward Future is a daily news briefing for people who want clarity, not hype. In one concise newsletter each day, you’ll get the most important AI and tech developments, learn why they matter, and what they signal about what’s coming next.

We cover real product launches, model updates, policy shifts, and industry moves shaping how AI actually gets built, adopted, and regulated. Written for operators, builders, leaders, and anyone who wants to sound sharp when AI comes up in the meeting.

It takes about five minutes to read, but the edge lasts all day.

Sign Up. Look Smart.

Aaron and I have come to believe that movement is one of the most underrated ways to expand what is possible in your life together. Some of our best conversations have happened on walks. We have met people we never would have encountered otherwise. We have had exchanges that shifted how we were thinking about what we are building, opened a door we did not know was there, or pointed us in a direction we had not considered. You do not know what is under your feet until you start moving. The only way to find out is to keep going.

That is why the goal was never just about the number.
