✎ Mark Zuckerberg took on one of the most surprising personal challenges I’ve ever seen. In this video, I walk you through the year he decided to eat only meat from animals he personally killed. Mark learned from farmers, chefs, and even his neighbor Jesse Cool to make sure he did it humanely. He shocked friends with posts like “I just killed a pig and a goat,” and even served Jack Dorsey a goat he cooked himself. This challenge pushed Mark to eat healthier, think deeper about gratitude, and understand the real cost of food. It also shows the same discipline he used to build Facebook from a Harvard dorm room into a global company.
✎ I also break down how Mark carried out the challenge step-by-step, from learning how to slaughter animals respectfully to becoming a part-time vegetarian for most of that year. You’ll hear how Michael Pollan reacted, why Jack Dorsey ended up eating only salad, and how the story spread around the world. Beyond the goat dinner, we go through the bigger pattern in Mark’s life: his yearly challenges. From learning Mandarin to writing daily thank-you notes, from meeting a new person every day to coding again daily, Mark used these projects to push himself and stay curious. These challenges helped him grow outside the boardroom and understand people, culture, and discipline on a deeper level.
✎ In the final section, I share why these challenges matter and what we can learn from them. Mark’s yearly missions remind us that success isn’t only about business. It’s about staying humble, stepping out of your comfort zone, and choosing growth even when you don’t have to. You don’t need to copy Mark’s goat challenge, but you can try something that stretches you just a little bit. When you do, you build discipline, confidence, and belief in yourself. If Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Jesse Cool, and even Michael Pollan can teach us anything here, it’s that small challenges can turn into big life lessons. Continue to believe.
