#PLNameInHat Accountability Check-In 🤝
Hey Reader!
You're getting this email because you signed up for my #PLNameInHat Challenge... And it's the January Check-in!
#PLNameInHat Challenge Rules Reminder
(First of all... Is the challenge name too long? Should I change it? Newsletter Accountability Challenge? PL Apply Challenge? Sourcing ideas - respond to this email with yours if you have a good one!)
Here are the rules of the challenge:
- Purchase a copy of the PL Opportunity Tracker
- Screenshot your progress for the month (example below)
- Reply to this email with 1) the screenshot and 2) your social handle.
- In February I'll also start adding a round up of you guys' check-ins from the previous month, along with some notes and tips so we can hold each other accountable and meet our goals :)
- I'll also post all of our screenshots on social media, with the Top Applier highlighted and tagged!
My January Check-In
January Goal: 8 | January Count: 3
Notes: I wanted to hire a grant writing team to help me apply to more opportunities this year but they ghosted me right after the new year 😭 Failed January. But that's okay!
To improve next month: I'm going to continue looking for an Application VA or agency to work with. I have a flight to Japan tonight so I'm also going to use the 14 hours to organize my own list of PTO and other opportunities to apply so that I can go into February with a pre-made list!
Now it's your turn!
Take your Opps Tracker screenshots and send them to me by replying to this email.
And if you got off to a bit of a rough start like me, remember: it's progress > perfection.
Send me this month's screenshot anyway and start planning now for how you can meet the 8 opps/month goal in February!
I'm not perfect. But we're building this habit together and by the end of 2024, we're going to catch more flights and life changing adventures!
See you in Feb ❤️

As of July 2, we are halfway through 2025 🌺 ✈️ Welcome back to The Exit Row. When you're flying, sitting in The Exit Row, you're next to the escape hatch. It always made me think... being one decision away from open sky, a little chaos, and a world of possibilities? I want to keep that feeling of adventure, optimism, and potential at all times. That's what this...
I took my first solo trip at 17, Reader. No smartphone, no real plan. Just me, a 4-day backpacking itinerary, and a very serious case of delusion. Since then, I’ve traveled to more than 50 countries—solo, in groups, for work, for fun... And let me tell you: Traveling has changed. A lot. And Microsoft Copilot just reached out to me with the craziest challenge... Me, all last week... (Watch here) Technology is shaping how we move through the world. Literally. And I like to stay ahead of the...

Welcome to The Exit Row. This newsletter will stay monthly, but instead of being essentially a personal summary of what I did that month, I really want to make sure you're all getting value from being here and leaving feeling inspired to inch a bit closer to freedom each day. Because if I’m growing, glowing, and...
