it’s my birthday
Christian Ray Flores here, and I’m turning 57 today. Someone described this season perfectly — we’re the teenagers of old people. Sounds exactly right.
If you’ve been reading Xponential and enjoy it, I want to ask you for a gift. Not for me. For the kids of the Ascend Academy in Maputo, Mozambique — one of the poorest places on earth. We take kids who have no realistic path out and teach them character, english, and computer literacy. The goal is simple: by the time they finish school, they are out of poverty forever.
In three weeks I’m taking donors to Maputo. I’d love to bring something from my readers.
A generous donor has already committed $10,000 to the Academy. I’m asking my readers to match this donation. And I want to express my thank you with these tokens of appreciation.
🌱 Up to $99 — A personal thank-you from me, plus your name in the post-trip edition.
🧱 $100–$499 — Above, plus a thank-you video recorded with the kids in Mozambique.
📈 $500–$999 — Above, plus a handwritten thank-you note from one of the students.
🏆 $1,000+ — Above, plus a signed copy of my book and a 45-minute call — about the work in Mozambique or a free strategy session for your business.
Three weeks. I’ll be carrying your name with me to Mozambique.

Short video about our work here.
Last week I introduced the Xponential Scorecard.
Seven dimensions. One radar. The diagnostic that separates the ones who build something that lasts from the ones who plateau or burn out — regardless of talent or strategy.
I promised paid subscribers a full breakdown this week. Your score. The science. The personal stories behind each dimension. And what to actually do with your results.
That’s what’s below.
If you’re not yet a paid subscriber — here’s what you’re getting access to today:
— The complete 7F framework, dimension by dimension
— The research behind why these four carry the most weight
— What my own scores revealed (and how I fixed them)
— The score ranges and exactly what each one means for where you are right now
This is one of the most important things I’ve ever put in writing.
THE XPONENTIAL SCORECARD: THE FULL BREAKDOWN
