People will talk about your past because they have
no access to the current version of yourself. But it
is essential to remember that their opinions are 
based on outdated information. 

As we grow and evolve, our past becomes a mere reflection of who we once were, not a definition of who we are now.
It is human nature for others to gossip and speculate
about our past actions, choices, and mistakes. They might judge us, criticize us, or even try to hold us back, but we mustn’t allow their perceptions to define us. We are not bound by the limitations of our past; instead, we are shaped by the lessons we’ve learned and the growth we’ve experienced.

Every individual undergoes personal transformation, and it is our responsibility to embrace and embody the current version of ourselves. We mustn’t be weighed down by the opinions of others or let their whispers deter us from our path. Our journey is our own, and it is up to us to define who we are today.

As we navigate through life, we continually learn, adapt, and evolve. Our past missteps serve as valuable lessons, guiding us towards a better version of ourselves. It is through self-reflection, introspection, and growth that we shed our old skins and emerge as stronger,

Keep growing and keep evolving! 🤙🏻👊🏼

"Act like the leader you aspire to be, and soon you won't be acting." Embrace the qualities of the person you aim to become—speak, decide, and lead as they would.

This isn't just about 'fake it till you make it'; it’s about embedding those traits into your everyday actions until they're no longer acts, but who you are.

Dress for the job you want, speak with the confidence you seek, and handle challenges as your ideal self would. With every action, you're stepping into the shoes of your future self. Keep going until they fit.

Every challenge, every bit of suffering has shaped me into the man I am today. It wasn’t the easy days that built me, but the tough ones—the days I thought I couldn’t endure, yet did.

The fires of adversity do more than test us; they refine us. They strip away everything non-essential, leaving behind a core of pure strength and will.

Remember, it’s not suffering that defines us, but how we respond to it. Rise above, let it shape you, and emerge stronger.

Embrace your struggles, for they are your greatest teachers.

Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of being an athlete with Bare Performance Nutrition, and the journey has been nothing short of transformative. Here’s why I’ve chosen @bpnsupps as my go-to for all these years and why I plan to continue:

1. Unmatched Quality and Transparency: One of the foundational reasons I stick with BPN is their unwavering commitment to quality. Every product is meticulously tested and transparently reported. Knowing exactly what I’m consuming and that it’s of the highest standard gives me the confidence to push my limits safely and effectively.

2. Performance and Results: Simply put, BPN products work. Whether it’s fuel for long endurance sessions or recovery aids, I’ve seen tangible improvements in my performance and faster recovery times. Their supplements have become a critical component of my training regimen, helping me stay on top of my game.

3. Community and Support: BPN isn’t just about selling supplements; it’s about building a community. Their support for athletes extends beyond nutritional products to include motivation, education, and a shared passion for excellence. This community aspect has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s something that’s rare in the industry.

4. Ethical and Passionate Leadership: It’s clear that BPN is driven by a team that genuinely cares about health, wellness, and the success of their athletes. Their ethical approach to business and the passionate leadership from @nickbarefitness himself resonate with my personal values and make me proud to be associated with BPN.

5. Innovation and Growth: Over the years, I’ve watched BPN grow and evolve, continuously innovating and expanding their product line to meet the needs of athletes across various disciplines. Their willingness to listen to feedback and adapt is a hallmark of a great company that wants the best for its community.

Being with BPN is more than just having a sponsor; it’s about being part of a movement that champions health, performance, and integrity. I look forward to many more years with BPN, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a team that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

In a world where rites of passage have faded, it’s crucial we guide young men on how to live with honor, courage, and commitment. Today, many young men grow up without clear rules or milestones that mark their transition into mature adulthood.

We must teach them to be men of their word, to uphold values that forge strong individuals and leaders. These aren’t just old virtues; they are necessities for a society that values integrity and strength.

That’s exactly what the @squireprogram is designed to do. It’s more than just a challenge; it’s a modern-day rite of passage. This program pushes young men to their limits, not just to test their mettle, but to shape them into protectors and providers for their future families.

Join us to empower the next generation with the tools they need to succeed and lead. Let’s give them the hardest challenge they’ve ever faced and watch them transform into men of honor and action. 

DM me SQUIRE for the next class dates all over America.

Being open about your past isn’t just about unloading memories—it’s about unlocking lessons, strength, and connection.

Every experience, especially the tough ones, holds wisdom. Sharing your journey can enlighten others, inspire resilience, and even guide them through similar challenges.

🤝 Openness fosters understanding and builds deeper bonds. It tells others they’re not alone in their struggles and that strength is born through overcoming.

Let’s embrace our stories, not as burdens, but as bridges that connect us, teach us, and make us all stronger together.

An amazing reminder we have one life and it goes by so very fast. 

Get your priorities in order. Live by them! Make what you “need” to do align with them, not the other way around. 

So many of us do what we think we need to do for our priorities but most people get caught in a trap of the never ending circle of the system. Work, pay taxes, watch tv, repeat.

We wonder why we feel frustrated, depressed, angry, lonely, and tired. Because we are not living congruently with the things that matter most in our life.

Live life on your terms with your people. Build a life around that. You only get one.

I’ve been a father since I was 19 years old, 
My son is 3, almost 4… and he teaches me something new everyday.

Sometimes it’s not about “teaching” or “coaching” … sometimes it not about having tons of fun.

Sometimes it’s just about being present, listening and learning.

What kind of relationship do you want with your son?

DM me if you’re struggling.

Here’s the deal: what gets me up in the morning isn’t just the win at the end. It’s the whole journey—the challenges, the progress, and every single step along the way.

The outcome? Sure, it matters, but it’s not everything. The real treasures? They’re collected on the route itself. It’s about the lessons learned, the confidence built, and the sheer experience of pushing through.

This path I’m on has carved me into who I am. It’s the early mornings, the setbacks turned into comebacks, and those moments of pure determination that define me.

Fall in love with this adventure. Cherish each moment, good and bad. Because when you’re passionate about the journey, reaching the peak is just another beautiful view, not the end of the road.

I had a dream about drinking and breaking a 5 year streak. What does that mean? 

Why is it when you choose to stop drinking, stop any vice, start a diet or training regimen people come at you. Saying oh just one, live a little, you don’t have to be that hard core. Etc….

Remember it’s not about you. It’s about them and the lack of courage they have to change their circumstances. 

Choose growth over everything. 👊🏼

Make it a great day!

Never underestimate the strength found in a simple 'thank you.' Gratitude isn't just good manners; it's a powerhouse of positivity.

Acknowledging the good, even in tough times, can transform your outlook, relationships, and even attract more blessings. It's about focusing on what you have, not what you lack.

Cultivate a habit of gratitude. Start or end your day by listing three things you're thankful for. Watch how this small act makes a big difference.

Gratefulness is a choice. Choose it daily, and watch your world change.

Being there is not enough. 

Great post fr @thedadyssey
・・・
Any fool can have a child. It takes the courage to raise a son or daughter that makes you a father. 

The role of fatherhood is one of the most overlooked yet crucial roles in our society.

Raising young men properly is a huge need in our culture right now.

Just look around. 
The obesity. The depression. 
The dysfunction. The divorce. 

At  the root of all of it is  fatherlessness. 

By the numbers:
-America is #1 in fatherlessness, 3x more than any other country.
-Over half of U.S. children born today grow up in fatherless homes
-In homes where a father is housed, but not present, the average school-aged boy spends less than 30 minutes of 1:1 time with his father.
-That same boy spends 40 hours a week being raised by strangers in conveyor belt schools & the other 40 hours by screens, video games & pornography.

When there is no older generation of good men in the home or church to usher boys into manhood through a predetermined path,  young men today attempt to walk through the wilderness of adolescence alone and self-initiate themselves, often carrying that adolescence into adulthood and perpetuating the cycle.

The result is a generation of young men left with a God-sized hole in their heart the shape of an absent dad. 

The impact is the current crisis we are seeing in young men today and across the culture in general. 

How do I know all this?

Because I was one of these boys and found my way out by a few good men and the grace of God.

Because my best friend wasn’t so lucky and was one of these boys before he tragically took his own life.

Because I have 3 boys of my own now and feel this pain and cry in my bones every single day.

The pressures on our young heroes is great, but so too is their potential. 

And yours. 

We need you to carry your weight, to shoulder the burden, to push yourself and us to greatness because we can’t do this alone. 

We are stronger together and need you to be great not only  for you and for your  family, but for all of us.

Being there is not enough.

Great post fr @thedadyssey

Any fool can have a child. It takes the courage to raise a son or daughter that makes you a father.

The role of fatherhood is one of the most overlooked yet crucial roles in our society.

Raising young men properly is a huge need in our culture right now.

Just look around.
The obesity. The depression.
The dysfunction. The divorce.

At the root of all of it is fatherlessness.

By the numbers:
-America is #1 in fatherlessness, 3x more than any other country.
-Over half of U.S. children born today grow up in fatherless homes
-In homes where a father is housed, but not present, the average school-aged boy spends less than 30 minutes of 1:1 time with his father.
-That same boy spends 40 hours a week being raised by strangers in conveyor belt schools & the other 40 hours by screens, video games & pornography.

Being a servant isn't about softness; it's about strength. It's a savage commitment to lifting others up, even when the weight is heavy.

True leaders know the power of service. It's not just helping out; it's stepping up, taking charge, and making a real impact. Whether it's in your community, your team, or your family, showing up for others with intensity and purpose is what sets you apart.

Serving others is a warrior's path. It demands resilience, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference.

Embrace the role of a savage servant. Push limits, challenge norms, and lead the charge towards a better future for everyone.

🔥 Let’s Get Real 🔥

 I’ve got something on my mind that I need to share with you.

Every day, I see too many of us fighting battles that no one talks about. Battles with Loneliness, Anger, Tiredness, and Stress - the L.A.T.S. that hold us back from our true potential. It’s something that 98% of us face, and it’s not something we can ignore anymore.

That’s why I’m inviting you to a game-changing webinar: “Unlocking Potential: Conquer the 4 Hidden Challenges 98% of Men Face Daily.” This isn’t just another motivational talk. It’s a deep dive into the struggles we all face and a plan of attack to overcome them.

Why You Need to Be There:

It’s Personal: I’ll be sharing my own battles with L.A.T.S., how I fought through, and what I’ve learned along the way.
It’s Practical: We’re going to break down actionable strategies that you can start using immediately.
It’s About Brotherhood: This is about coming together, sharing our stories, and supporting each other.

I’m tired of seeing my brothers suffer in silence. It’s time for us to break free from these chains and step into the greatness we’re destined for.

Message me WEBINAR for the link!

True growth starts where your comfort zone ends. The path to becoming your best self is paved with actions that challenge, scare, and push you.

Stepping into the unknown might feel daunting, but it’s in those moments of uncertainty where we find our true potential.

Dare to do what makes you uncomfortable. Speak in public, start that project, take the leap. With each uncomfortable step, you’re not just moving forward; you’re soaring.

Remember, comfort might feel safe, but it's in discomfort that we grow. Break the mold, embrace the challenge, and watch as you transform into the version of yourself you've always aspired to be.

We are all guilty of it at one point but the point is to catch it and correct it. 

1. Avoiding the tough conversation, the challenge, the diet, whatever it is it is only keeping you from achieving what you want. Instead, lean into it and embrace the adversity because it’s your gift of growth. 

2. Be careful of the story you tell yourself. Whatever you say so it will be. Change your story and change your outcome. Speak positively of yourself and find the things you are grateful for.

3. It’s not your spouses responsibility to make you happy. It’s yours and yours alone. Stop looking for validation from others and find it within.

4. By not setting boundaries you are making concessions with your objectives. Caving into your diet, training, time, and energy. Do not allow others to derail your trajectory. If they love you and respect you they will respect your decision.

“Aging is the is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.”
You want to slow down the process of “aging” on your body?
Get outside your comfort zone.

People tell me all the time “I could never do that!” - well no… if you believe you can’t…. Then you can’t. 

We have all watched people around us grow old.
Your life is what you are willing to put into it.

DM the word: AGOGE 
If you are ready to make a change.

🔨The gauntlet has been thrown down. Welcome to the 6-Week The Agoge Challenge. This is where excuses go to die and warriors are born. If you’re on a mission to shred the weight, stack on muscle, and revolutionize your eating habits, your battleground is right here.

April 1st for next six weeks, we’re doing more than just talking the talk. We’re walking the warrior’s walk. This is about full commitment to transforming your body and mind. Expect blood-pumping, sweat-dripping workouts that push you beyond your limits, a nutrition plan that’s as much about feeding your warrior spirit as it is about fueling your body, and a brotherhood that holds you accountable, because failure is not an option.

This challenge isn’t for those who flinch at the sight of hard work. It’s for those ready to dig deep, to fight for every inch of progress. Pain will become your ally. Fatigue, your motivation. And at the end? You’ll stand victorious, not just physically transformed, but empowered with the indomitable spirit of an Agoge warrior.

The time for hesitation is over. It’s time to decide. Will you step up and fight for the change you want to see in yourself, or will you stay on the sidelines? Remember, warriors are made, not born. Forge yourself into the weapon you are meant to be.
Let’s crush this.
Are you ready to join the ranks of the elite? Then let’s get this war started.

The most growth comes from doing the hard things, especially when every fiber of your being wants to turn away. It’s in the struggle, the sweat, and the perseverance where true strength is forged.

🚀 Success isn’t made in comfort zones. It’s carved out through the tough decisions, the early mornings, and the late nights. It’s built by pushing through when you want nothing more than to stop.

🔥 Next time you face something daunting, remember: the discomfort is temporary, but the growth? That’s forever.

Dive into the hard. It’s where you become unstoppable.

The state of men in this country is fucking soft.

Show up with intensity or don’t show up at all.

Without it, you’re just marking time, not making progress. Intensity ignites growth; absence of it extinguishes potential.

Success: It’s Not a Secret, It’s a System

The real secret to success? Spoiler alert: there isn’t one. It’s about doing the work, consistently, day in and day out, year after year. That’s it. That’s the formula. But, no one wants to hear that. 

People search for shortcuts, for hidden tactics that the successful are supposedly keeping to themselves. But ask any true achiever, and they’ll tell you: success is about the grind. The relentless, often monotonous work that others won’t do.

Compounding interest isn’t just a financial principle; it’s a metaphor for success. It takes time. Many give up far too early, not realizing that perseverance is key. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Commit to your path for a decade, then see where you stand.

Entrepreneurs know the taste of a “shit sandwich” because they’ve been willing to eat it for years. That willingness to embrace the grueling, the tedious, and stay the course is what sets them apart.

Be relentless in your resolve. Embrace the boring, consistent work. That’s where true success lies.

In a world brimming with influences, if we fail to be the father figures our sons need, rest assured, the opposition is lurking, ready to fill that void. Our sons will seek guidance, and without us, they may find it in places that lead them away from the paths we envision for them.

The Squire Program - a transformative experience designed for fathers and sons, happening April 20th, 2024. A chance to bond, learn, and grow together, ensuring your son finds the role model he needs in you.

This is more than a program; it’s a commitment to forge the future leaders our world needs. If you’re ready to step up and guide your son on the right path, DM me ‘SQUIRE’ to sign up.
