About Us

In June 2022, I weighed more than 400 pounds, and my A1C was in the double digits. I knew I needed to make changes, but I kept telling myself I would start "next week," "next month," or "after the holidays."

The truth is, I was telling myself that one day I would make a change—when what I really needed to say was, "This is Day One."

So, on a random Tuesday in June 2022, I decided that day would be my Day One. The choices I made weren't dramatic or life-changing on their own. They were small, intentional decisions repeated consistently over time. Those small choices eventually led to extraordinary results.

Since that Day One, I've lost 185 pounds. My A1C has dropped out of the diabetic range, and I've completed multiple 5Ks, 10Ks, and even a half marathon. Today, I'm training toward my next goal: completing a full marathon.

As my health improved, so did my confidence. And as my confidence grew, so did my willingness to express my personal style. Over time, I realized those two things—confidence and self-expression—were deeply connected.

That's the inspiration behind Day1 Motivat1on.

Day1 Motivat1on is built on the belief that every transformation, every achievement, and every dream begins with a single decision: the decision to start. Our brand exists to inspire action, celebrate progress, and remind people that meaningful change doesn't happen "one day"—it happens when you decide that today is Day One.

We strive to create apparel and products that are confident, expressive, motivational, and a little whimsical—designed to serve as daily reminders of your potential and the journey you're capable of creating.

It is my sincere hope that you achieve every goal and dream you set for yourself. Don't wait for "one day" to begin pursuing the life you want.

Make today your Day One.

Best of luck,

Steve
