]]> Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com) Ryan Barnum https://storage.buzzsprout.com/mtvnbx9f9qdjozk8imssu0a7k1gs?.jpg The 100 Life Goals Experiment #2 - How to Build Your Own 100 Life Goals List #2 - How to Build Your Own 100 Life Goals List Ryan breaks down exactly what a 100 Life Goals list is, where the idea came from, and how to build your own — starting today.

This isn't a complicated system. It's a brain dump, a timer, and a living document that grows with you.

In this episode:

  • What a 100 Life Goals list is and why 100 (not 10 or 50)
  • The book that started it all — The Three-Word Journal by Randal A. Wright
  • How John Goddard inspired the concept
  • Ryan's own list from 2015 — what's still on it, what's been crossed off, and what changed
  • A simple step-by-step process to build your own list today
  • Stephen Covey's "sharpen the saw" categories as a framework
  • How to use the list once you have it
  • Why it's okay to change, update, and remove goals

Your challenge this episode: Get a piece of paper or open your notes app. Set a timer for 20 minutes. Brain dump every goal you can think of. Don't categorize yet — just write. Come back to it if life gets busy. Set a reminder if you need to.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • The Three-Word Journal by Randal A. Wright
  • John Goddard — explorer and one of the original 100 life goals pioneers
  • Stephen Covey's "sharpen the saw" framework — physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual

Episode 1: Why I Started This


Ryan Barnum is 41 years old, active duty Air Force, married 15 years to his wife Lettice, and father of six kids ages 6–14. He's also a practicing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a recovering addict.

He's been ambitious his whole life — and not very good at following through.

In this first episode, Ryan introduces The 100 Life Goals Experiment: a public journey to accomplish 100 life goals before he dies. More than a bucket list. A compass for the man he wants to become.

He's not an expert. He's not at the finish line. He's right there alongside you — reporting from the trail.

In this episode:

  • Who Ryan is and why he's doing this
  • What the 100 Life Goals list is and where it came from
  • Who this podcast is for
  • Ryan's commitment to consistency and honesty — including when he fails

"Accountability is the breakfast of champions." — Gary Keller
