The film, in viewers' words

Hear what our viewers said.

  • A true eye opener

    Powerful. A true eye opener, such an easy watch. I was stunned when I got to the end… The experts on it were mind blowing.

    Great job… It’s great to see that you have so many of the top names who are working in this field together, sharing their knowledge, experience and wisdom.

  • Excellent documentary

    It was very inspiring to watch, and how far you have come on your journey… Excellent documentary.

    A viewer · by WhatsApp, September 2026

  • The honest one

    Some very genuine and touching stories with an impressive line-up of health and longevity experts. However it felt a little all over the place… Not so sure what was the overarching theme and message.

    Our answer

    Fair point. A 52-minute film covers a lot of ground. The Bootcamp puts it in 1 place: your diary.

§ 01 · The quest

You bought the journal. You saved the course. You are still doing it alone.

A journal cannot notice when you stop. A course cannot ask why.

After the screenings, viewers kept asking Jonathan 1 question: how do I make this work in my week? The Bootcamp is his answer. Welcome to the Blueprint.

  • Not Another journal
  • Not Another course
  • Not Another streak to break
  • 1 plan. 1 coach. 1 cohort.

Someday is expensive.

76%

of people named not becoming the person they hoped to be as their biggest regret in life (Cornell University, 2018).

59%

higher risk of dying during the study for adults who sat over 8 hours a day and moved least, against the most active who sat least (The Lancet, 2016).

68 days

a year online outside work: the average UK adult spends 4 hours 30 minutes a day online (Ofcom, 2025).
