A Few Things Worth Your Time
Growth doesn't only happen inside True North Momentum. The things we read, watch, listen to, and surround ourselves with can challenge how we think, remind us what we're capable of, help us feel less alone, or simply give us the push we need that day.

Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things
Adam Grant
Why We Recommend It
Potential isn't defined by where we start. Hidden Potential explores how we develop the character, skills, and capacity to become more than our starting point might suggest—and why progress matters more than natural ability.
Unbreakable
Jay Glazer
Why We Recommend It
Strength doesn't mean never struggling. Unbreakable is raw, personal, and honest about the battles people can carry beneath the surface—and the importance of connection, vulnerability, and continuing to fight when those battles get heavy.
Videos & Speeches
Videos & Speeches
Stuart Scott — 2014 ESPYS Jimmy V Perseverance Award Speech
Why We Recommend It
Strength doesn't always mean standing alone. Sometimes continuing the fight means letting the people around us fight alongside us. Stuart Scott's words are a powerful reminder that resilience, courage, love, and community aren't separate things—and none of us is meant to do this alone.
Kobe Bryant — The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes
Why We Recommend It
Kobe Bryant's definition of greatness goes far beyond individual achievement. It's about inspiring the people around us to discover their own greatness—and trusting that their influence will continue through others.
Movies & Documentaries
Movies & Documentaries
Free Solo
Why We Recommend It
Free Solo is an extraordinary demonstration of what human beings can become capable of through preparation, commitment, and belief in ourselves. Even Alex Honnold—someone who seems almost untouched by fear—has moments when fear wins. But he doesn't quit. He returns, trusts the ability he's built, and moves anyway. The difference isn't never being afraid—it's refusing to let fear have the final word.
Good Will Hunting
Why We Recommend It
Extraordinary ability doesn't guarantee we'll become what we're capable of becoming. Good Will Hunting reminds us that sometimes we need other people to challenge us, believe in us, see through our defenses, and help us recognize what we can't yet see in ourselves. Our potential may belong to us, but we don't always unlock it alone.
Songs That Move Us
Songs That Move Us
Music can move us in completely different ways. It can change our energy, remind us we're not alone, help us process something difficult, or give us the push we need to take another step.
These aren't the songs that create momentum. They're simply a few that do it for us. Take the ones that hit you. Leave the ones that don't.
Dare You to Move
Switchfoot
Knowing something needs to change is one thing. Choosing to move is another.
Lose Yourself
Eminem
When the moment comes, step into it.
One More Light

Because every single person matters.

Sometimes we have to learn how to begin again.

Real change starts with what we're willing to change in ourselves.

I Won't Back Down
Tom Petty

Even the people who seem strongest are still human.
It's Not My Time

Apps

Headspace
Why We Recommend It
Sometimes moving forward starts by slowing down long enough to reset. Headspace makes mindfulness practical and approachable, even if you've never tried it before.
RISE Sleep
Why We Recommend It
Sleep isn't time away from performance. It's part of performance. RISE helps make our sleep, recovery, and daily energy visible enough to actually do something about them.
Strong
Why We Recommend It
Progress is easier to build when you can actually see it. Strong keeps workout tracking simple so you can focus on the work, recognize progress, and keep building on it.

How to Learn From Your Failures
Greater Good / UC Berkeley
Why We Recommend It
Failure is inevitable. What matters is what we do with it. This is a practical look at how we can learn from failure without allowing it to become our identity.
Finding Our Way to True Belonging
Brené Brown
Why We Recommend It
There's a difference between fitting in and actually belonging. Real community shouldn't require us to become someone else before we're allowed to be part of it.
Why Self-Compassion Trumps Self-Esteem
Kristin Neff
Why We Recommend It
Growth doesn't require beating the hell out of ourselves every time we fall short. How we respond to ourselves when things go wrong can determine whether we're willing to get up and try again.

We Can Do Hard Things — S2 E270: "The Unexpected Way Amanda Built Community"
Why We Recommend It
