Michelle Khare’s YouTube series Challenge Accepted has amassed over 5 million subscribers and more than 825 million views to date. Michelle’s work has earned multiple Streamy Awards, including Show of the Year, and has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Vogue India, and more. In 2025, Challenge Accepted made history successfully petitioning to join the Primetime Emmy® ballot for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series. Michelle was named a TIME100 honoree for her impact as a creator and storyteller.
Michelle has built a global community inspired to take on their own challenges, sparking conversations on discipline, fear, and courage, while her own journey—from cycling professionally to becoming one of the internet’s most fearless creators—is living proof of what it takes to embrace discomfort and grow from it.
But these feats didn’t emerge from innate bravery. They were born of the opposite. They began when Michelle scrawled her deepest fears onto a whiteboard and paired each one with an extraordinary experience to conquer it head on. “I didn’t do this because I wasn’t afraid, but because I was,” she says.
Michelle will show you how to figure out exactly what you want and determine exactly how to get it, without waiting for someone to open the door for you.
