Development
Challenge Accepted began as a personal creative endeavor led by Michelle Khare and co-creator Garrett Kennell.[8] Early episodes were often conceptualized through brainstorming sessions centered around Khare’s personal fears and challenges, using prompts such as “What are Michelle’s biggest fears?” and “What’s a unique situation to face them head-on?”[9] These ideas were then shaped into transformational narratives. As the show gained popularity, production quality increased with the addition of a small team from both traditional and digital media backgrounds.[10]
