Why I Do This Work
A note from Michael Franc, founder of Daily Three Miles and My Tiny Kitchen

I’ve spent most of my life thinking deeply about how we live—and how we might live better. My background is in philosophy and psychology, but my real education came through walking, through paying attention to my own habits, and through listening to others who were trying to make sense of their lives. What I’ve learned is this: most of us are not broken. We’re just disconnected—from our bodies, from nature, from each other, and from ourselves.

This work—Daily Three Miles, My Tiny Kitchen, everything I write and share—is about reconnecting. I believe simple choices can change everything: walking every day, eating real food, examining your thoughts, noticing what you crave and why. There’s no single formula. But there is a path forward, and it doesn’t start with shame or self-improvement. It starts with honesty.

If you’re here, maybe you’re trying to live with more intention, or break a cycle, or just feel better in your own skin. Me too. Let’s walk through that together.
