Everyday I wake up with a daunting, audacious goal at the forefront of my mind. The goal isn’t going to be accomplished today or tomorrow or the next day, it’s a goal that exists somewhere in my future. It’s a place in life that I’ll exist in. The road to that place in the sun […]
10 Ways to Tell If You’re Dating a Warrior Or a Coward

Yesterday, as I left the boxing gym drenched in sweat, lactic acid still paralyzing my body, my pal and I started talking.

7 No B.S. Life Lessons From Tony Soprano
My mom is Italian. She came over on a boat from Italy not long after the Second World War had come to an end. Maybe that’s why I have always loved gangsters, and especially those of the Italian variety. Or, maybe it’s because gangsters are the cowboys of my generation. They’re the outlaws. The men […]
How to Get Confident, Be More Manly, & Rule the World
I’ve walked in to job interviews standing strong, confident, and purposeful. And I’ve walked into job interviews timid. I’ve gone on dates where I was more nervous than a hooker at church.

How to Become An Alpha Male in Modern Society
Where have all the real men gone? It’s a question not asked by one sex alone, but by both. Men want permission; we want someone to say, Yes! It’s okay to be wild, to be strong, to be assertive! It’s okay to be a man! Women want that man. They want strength, kindness and a quiet confidence. […]

Where’s Our Battlefield?
Physical strength, for me, has been a means to strengthen other areas of my life. It’s lifted up my entrepreneurial spirit, helped me tackle obstacles with a confidence that only comes from knowing you can accomplish something, anything, you set your mind to.
