Happiness isn’t a pursuit. You don’t Get Happy, you Be Happy. Happiness exists in what you do and who you are, not in what you’re chasing or who you want to be. Thus, the importance of doing what makes you happy, and being a man you’re proud to be. If you relegate happiness to a place that can only occur in your […]
Dare Mighty Things
It is not the critic who counts; Critics don’t create. They wait for the creations of the brave souls who are willing to lay it all on the line to create something. It’s the critic who then decides to dissect it, tear it down, and look for its flaws. The critic doesn’t matter. Never let […]
Society Breeds Cowards: How to Use the Iron to Become An Alpha Male
I’ve mentioned Theodore Roosevelt on this site before, and held him up as an example as to how a man should live. He pursued his ambitions, even against the wishes of his family.

Why War is a Good Thing, If You’re a Warrior
Men have been warriors as long as we’ve, well, been. It’s when a man is a warrior, that he is at his greatest. It’s when he’s at battle that he rises to his greatest self. It’s no wonder that many of the greatest men in history are also those who’ve faced the greatest trials. It’s also […]

The jungle gym has long been a refuge for kids to run, play tag, and escape the confines of school. Today things are different.

How to Transform Your Body
When we’re walking a journey alone, when we’re our only form of supervision, the man in the mirror, the only one we’re accountable to, we don’t always do the work, or do what’s necessary. That’s what makes the entrepreneur, the writer, or the artist so powerful – they do the work even when no one […]
Where’s Our Battlefield?
Physical strength, for me, has been a means to strengthen other areas of my life.

The Brotherhood
I remember walking into the ring for my first fight, I almost couldn’t breathe. The butterflies were unlike anything I’d ever experienced.
