Slow Growth Academy By Matt D’avella Hey, I’m
Matt D’AvellaI’m a full-time YouTuber, director of two Netflix documentaries, and someone who’s always been obsessed with change.But despite what you may see online, I did not start out with my shit together.I was once a scrawny 20 year old with $97k in student debt, a tragic haircut, and no choice but to move back into my parents’ basement.Like you, I spent years stuck in my own vicious habit-building cycle.I’d feel motivated for a week (usually after listening to way too much Tony Robbins), only to get derailed by an impending project deadline, a party I had to be at, or an emotional rut.But then one day became Day One.I woke up one Wednesday determined to start working out consistently.That one day turned into a week.A week turned into a month.And 3 months in, that habit became an integral part of my routine.(Plus, I could finally perform deadlifts without keeling over!)But that’s not all.The momentum I gained from mastering that ONE habit created a ripple effect that transformed the rest of my life.
