Someone commented that 98% of billionaires talk about working in solitude.
Sure. After their CFO, CMO, EA, house manager, nanny, and private chef handle everything else.
That’s not solitude. That’s the most supported man in the room taking 30 minutes alone to think.
There is no such thing as self-made.
No special ops team works alone. No business was built by one man. No marriage runs on one person. No kid raises himself. Every empire, every win, every rebuild was done with people, assets, and resources around the man getting the credit.
You are the sum of your five closest friends. Your five closest business partners. Your network is your net worth.
The more men you have around you, the more pack you have. The more pack you have, the more dangerous you become.
Stop trying to do it alone. It’s a lie that’s costing you.
Comment RECLAIM and I’ll send you the free 6-day coaching series.

They sold you a lie.
Be a lone wolf. Build it yourself. Don’t need anyone. Army of one.
Show me where that’s ever worked. Show me a country taken by one man. A business built by one man. A marriage that thrived in isolation. Show me anything self-made that actually lasted.
You can’t. Because it doesn’t exist.
The lone wolf myth is rhetoric built to keep you isolated, weak, and easy to control. The truth is the opposite. You are happier in a tribe. You are stronger in a unit. You laugh harder, breathe deeper, and carry less weight when you are around your men.
Pay attention to that feeling. That is the signal.
Brotherhood is the route. A tribe is the answer. If you have five fit friends and you are the fat dad, you either leave the group or you become a fit dad. If four of your friends are millionaires, you become the fifth.
We become the men we surround ourselves with. Period.
This is why I built the Reclaim the Man free coaching series. 6 days, zero cost, real direction for the men who are sick of doing it alone and ready to start fixing it.

Most men who need testosterone replacement therapy will never get it.
Not because it does not work. Not because they cannot afford it. Because they are scared of what their buddies will say. Scared of being called a cheater. Scared of being lumped in with the guy at the gym they do not want to be.
I was one of those guys. My total T was 91 ng/dL when I almost took my own life. Everyone around me was talking PTSD and TBI. A friend told me to get my hormones checked and I thought he was calling me weak. Within a week of treatment the fog lifted. It saved my life.
If you are a veteran, a first responder, or any man over 30 who is fatigued, foggy, irritable, and watching the man you used to be disappear in the mirror, the answer is not another antidepressant. It is a blood panel.
You are not committing to TRT by getting tested. You are committing to the truth.
DM or comment “LABS” and I will send you exactly what to test and where to start.

A lot of men talk about faith.
They say they trust God
They say they’re waiting on Him
They say they’re praying for direction
But they’re not moving.
We’ve been given something most people ignore choice.
The ability to act. To decide. To move forward even when it’s uncertain
Faith was never meant to be passive.
It’s not sitting back hoping things work out
It’s stepping forward when you don’t have all the answers
It’s executing when you’re afraid
It’s trusting that the next step will be revealed after you take this one
You don’t wait for clarity to move
You move, and clarity meets you there.
Fear is always going to be present
Uncertainty is always going to be there.
That doesn’t mean you stop
It means you move with faith anyway.
That’s the difference

I was 40 pounds overweight, sleeping on my mattress on the floor, watching my kids’ lives happen through a phone screen.
I had the resume. Marine Raider. The Paycheck. The kind of guy the algorithm would tell you was high-value.
Nobody was fooled. Least of all me.
The internet keeps selling men a costume. Watches, cars, women, the rooftop in Dubai. A version of masculinity that’s all surface and zero spine. And every man I know who chased it ended up exactly where I was. Hollow. Isolated. Performing for an audience that wouldn’t show up for him at 3 AM.
What pulled me out wasn’t another course. It wasn’t a coach selling me a morning routine. It was a room of men who knew my wife’s name, knew my kids’ names, and refused to let me lie about what I was actually doing.
That’s the difference. High value isn’t what you own. It’s who’s willing to call you on your shit and stay in the room when you don’t want to hear it.
I built a 6 day coaching series called Reclaim the Man Within. It’s the same playbook I used to close the gap between the man I was and the man I knew I was supposed to be. Identity. Discipline. Brotherhood. Purpose. No fluff. No upsell on day one. Just the work.
It’s free.

How disrespectful for @chadrobo_official to do this to me. I’m a grown man.
I thought I knew jiujitsu… until I get tossed by a 150lbs 50 year old.
In all seriousness this dude is an absolute savage. 💀👊🏼

Nobody loses himself in a single day.
That’s the lie. Isolation doesn’t collapse a man all at once. It bills him in installments. A night he stops returning calls. A hard conversation he talks himself out of. A truth he swallows instead of saying out loud. Then one morning he wakes up and his marriage is gone, his kids are strangers, his body doesn’t work, and the man in the mirror is somebody he doesn’t recognize.
I know because I paid that bill. Bankrupt. Divorced. Estranged from my own children. The worst part wasn’t any single hit. It was realizing I had been paying interest on my silence for years and calling it strength.
Men die alone inside long before anything buries them. Not because they’re weak. Because they were taught that carrying it by yourself is what makes you a man. That is not strength. That is a slow funeral with good posture.
You were not built to be a fortress. You were built to be known.
The Agoge is for the man who is ready to stop paying in installments and settle the account.

For those of you new here…. Welcome
Most men I know are quietly falling apart.
I was one of them. Marine Raider on paper, drunk in a Batman mask in my kitchen in real life. Bankrupt. 40 pounds overweight. Testosterone of a 90 year old. My kids moved away and I wasn’t in their daily life. Faith gone. Marriage gone.
The uniform came off and the man underneath it didn’t know how to stand up.
I had to rebuild the whole thing. Health. Faith. Family. Business. Identity.
If you just started following me, this is the short version of who I am. If you’ve been here a while and never knew the story, this is it.
I run @johnnyslicks . I’m part of the mission at @coremedhrt . I lead @theagoge , a 12 month brotherhood for men ready to rebuild. I train with my wife @alisoncapra and son. I fight for a life worth defending and living for every day.
No bs highlight reel here. Just real life. Scars, systems, and the real work.

Comfort is a drug and most fathers are addicts.
You think couch time is harmless. It’s poison in your children’s veins.
I’ve built three companies and raised four kids and here’s what I know for certain: comfortable fathers create weak children. Period.
The father who chooses comfort over challenge is stealing his children’s future strength.
Every time you take the easy path, you’re carving that same path for them.
Every time you avoid discomfort, you’re teaching them that difficulty is the enemy.
Every time you choose convenient over correct, you’re programming them for failure.
Your children don’t inherit your genetics when it comes to character. They inherit your habits.
The dad who quits when things get hard raises quitters.
The dad who makes excuses raises excuse makers.
The dad who chooses comfort over capability raises children who will be destroyed by the first real challenge life throws at them.
Stop lying to yourself about this.
Your comfort isn’t harmless relaxation. It’s character assassination.
You’re not just failing yourself. You’re failing the next generation.
The world will test your children. They will either rise or crumble based on what you’re teaching them right now.
Choose your hard. Discipline today, or watching your kids struggle tomorrow because you were too comfortable to prepare them.
If this hit you in the chest, that’s the signal.
Comment AGOGE or DM me the word. I’ll send you a link to book a call with my team. No pitch. No pressure. A straight conversation about whether The Agoge is the fight you need to get in.
Twelve months. Brotherhood. Accountability. The work that rewires you and the men who hold the line with you.

TODAY @potus signed the executive order to fast-track psychedelics for veteran mental health. @joerogan was in the Oval Office. @robertfkennedyjr too. It’s a real win.
But the story is bigger than that.
80,000 Americans died of overdose in 2024. 22 veterans a day die by suicide. Studies suggest up to 70 percent of veteran suicides involve untreated hormone deficiency.
I know because I almost became one of them.
31 years old. Fresh out of MARSOC. Testosterone level of 91 ng/dL. I wrote about the night I took a .38 to the beach in Excommunicated Warrior. I didn’t want to die. I wanted rest. I was battling low testosterone, an undiagnosed TBI, and full denial about PTSD. What I needed wasn’t another pill. I needed actual medical care.
Two things changed everything for me. Proper hormone optimization and plant medicine.
TRT gave me my body and my drive back. Plant medicine gave me the ability to heal and let go of what I’d been carrying. Next to TRT it has been one of the most healing factors in my life. I attribute both to being where I am today.
That’s why yesterday hit so hard. The psychedelic door just got kicked open for veterans. Thousands more brothers and sisters are about to get access to something that saved me.
Now hormones need to be next.
Ambien. Xanax. SSRIs. Opioid pain pills. Prescribed to veterans without a second thought. SSRIs aren’t even controlled. Ambien and Xanax are Schedule IV, looser than testosterone. Testosterone is Schedule III. Somehow it’s the hardest of all to get prescribed. That’s the other half of the fight.
@coremedhrt has surveyed hundreds of veterans. Statistically significant reductions in depression, prescription load, and suicidal ideation. We’re taking that data to Capitol Hill. The mission is to get Core approved as a community care provider and establish a veteran TRT protocol at the VA.
Your testimony is the battering ram.
If TRT saved your life, or you tried but got shut down, I need to hear it. Comment VET below. I’ll send you the survey link and my email directly.
This is how we change what happens to brothers and sisters after they serve.

The internet says RFK just unbanned 12 peptides. That is not what happened.
⠀
Here is what the Federal Register actually shows. Nominators withdrew 12 peptide nominations. FDA agreed to remove them from the restricted Category 2 list. Seven of those peptides are now scheduled for an independent advisory committee review on July 23 and 24, 2026. The committee makes a recommendation. FDA then has to act. None of that FDA action has happened yet.
⠀
Here is what most clinics will not tell you. None of it changes what Core Medical Group already does. Our physicians have been prescribing peptide therapy under individualized, physician-directed protocols long before this news cycle. BPC-157. KPV. TB-500. MOTs-C. DSIP. Semax. Epitalon. Not waiting on headlines. Not chasing a trend. Treating patients.
⠀
Core is also inside the federal conversations shaping where this goes next, with partners working the issue directly on behalf of veteran access. This is what physician-led looks like. Not observers. Participants.
⠀
If you are a veteran, first responder, or serious about your hormone health, and peptide therapy is something you want evaluated by a physician, comment below or DM us. Our team will schedule a physician consultation to determine if peptide therapy is appropriate for you.

3 years of jiujitsu for a piece of fabric.
This kid is 5.5 years old. His mom wanted him to start when he was 2.5 so she started a toddler program to get him ready for when he turned 4.
3 years on the mats as a child as a white belt and only getting four stripes. How many adults could train 4 days a week for three years while competing and just focus on getting better.
He watched all his friends get promoted, age out of his class, we put him with bigger, older, better kids. He lost, he got beat, he cried, and he kept asking to come back.
We have offered breaks (not to stop) but a break on a day, we ask if he wanted to compete every comp. His answer? Yes every time.
At 5 this kids got more determination than most grown men. Still had a long way to go. But I’m excited to see what kind of man he grows into.
3 years for nothing but a piece of fabric that to him means so much.
I think there is a lesson in there some where for us.
Couldn’t be more proud of this kid.
We do hard things. Belt promotions aren’t about skill level (in my opinion) they are about dedication, sacrifice and showing up on all the days we don’t feel like it.
Thank you to Professor Sickles, Coach Marv, Coach David, @w_tylerbjj, @the.kyle.mann @felizz.navidad and @alisoncapra for pushing this boy since he was in diapers 🤌🏼
The best is yet to come.

I’m still looking for that damn razzberry 😂
Honestly I’m grateful at 44 I have this body that still allows me to roll around on the floor in pjs with my friends.

Every man who’s ever built anything significant understood this truth: your physical state determines your mental state.
You can’t have a strong mind in a weak body. You can’t make strong decisions when you feel weak. You can’t lead others when you can’t lead yourself to the gym.
I’ve never met a successful man who neglected his fitness and stayed successful long term. The correlation isn’t coincidence.
Training teaches you that discomfort is temporary, that you’re stronger than you think, that showing up when you don’t feel like it is what separates winners from everyone else.
The gym is where you practice being the man you need to be everywhere else. It’s where you learn to push past the voice that says quit. It’s where you discover that you can do hard things. It’s where you build the confidence that comes from doing what you said you’d do.
Most men treat fitness like it’s separate from the rest of their lives. It’s not. How you handle the gym is how you handle everything.
The man who makes excuses about training makes excuses about everything. The man who shows up regardless of how he feels shows up everywhere.
Your body is telling you a story about who you are. Make sure it’s a story you want to live.

There’s a difference between a father who saves and a father who empowers. Are you making them comfortable or capable?
The one who saves feels like a hero in the moment. The one who empowers watches his kid struggle, holds the line, and lets the lesson do the work.
Every time I watch my son on the mat, I have to fight the urge to step in. He’s had some hard weeks at practice, he’s tired, he’s worn out… But that mat is teaching them something I never got as a kid, that they can survive hard things without someone running to the rescue.
If your kid never struggles under your roof, they’ll crumble the second they leave it.
Give them the gift of difficulty while you’re still there to coach them through it.
You want the the outcome of greatness…
But you won’t even make your kid turn off the video games and go outside?
You want them to be healthy and fit, but you feed them whatever “tastes good” to them?
You expect them to win, in life… but you’re enabling the to sit in a dark room and hide from relationships, and opportunities for growth?
It’s time for a change.
DM me AGOGE if you’re ready to build a plan for yourself and your family.

Today I competed for the first time as a brown belt.
My intention wasn’t just to support Mitri. It was to show him how I show up. That I’m willing to step into the arena and test myself, not just talk about it.
How many men talk about a thing and never actually put themselves out there? Failure in front of people is terrifying. What will people say? What will they think? And then the internal noise starts. Am I good enough? What if I lose?
The reality is my heart was pounding. Adrenaline was pumping. I wanted to win. I wanted to know if my game holds up when the pressure is actually on.
But more than anything, I wanted to win in front of him. I wanted him to see that I don’t just tell him to do hard things. I do them.
We took double gold home. Our mats were right next to each other. I went, then he went. Back and forth, watching each other the whole time.
Men, get in the arena. Whatever that looks like for you. The thing that might make you fail, that might make you look bad, that scares you. Too many fathers won’t try because they’re afraid of what it says about them if they lose.
That’s what actually makes them look bad. Not losing. Not trying. Hiding behind the veil.
Get in the arena. Your kids are watching.

I left MARSOC at 31 with a testosterone level of 91.
I took matters into my own hands, and that decision saved my life. But not every veteran knows they can.
That’s not good enough. We’ve been working on this for 8 years and we’re finally in a position to sit in front of VA leadership and change what community care looks like for veterans.
If you’re a vet, if you know a vet, this matters.

22 veterans die every day.
The VA’s answer? SSRIs.
I know because it happened to me. I went to the VA for TRT. My levels were in the gutter. They said no and handed me a bag of antidepressants instead.
That is not care. That is management.
TRT is saving veteran lives. We have the data. One of our patients went from wanting to end his life in a VA parking lot to becoming a completely different man. That story is not rare. We hear it every week.
@coremedhrt now has the opportunity to sit in front of the VA Community Care director and make the case to become a primary TRT provider for veterans. Eight years of work has led to this moment.
We need your help to get there.
The survey takes two minutes. It’s anonymous. It becomes evidence.

My wife @alisoncapra just took silver at PANS.
For those who don’t know, PANS is one of the most competitive no-gi jiu-jitsu tournaments in the world. She competed against women who have been on the mat their entire lives. She walked away with silver.
After it was over she told me something that stopped me cold.
Before she stepped on the mat, she put on one of my YouTube videos. Not for me. For herself. She said it helped her get her head right before competition.
I didn’t know what to do with that at first. I’m her husband. She’s heard everything I’ve ever said ten times over. But she still needed to hear it again, out loud, in that moment, before one of the hardest things she’d do all year.
That’s when it hit me.
It’s not about the information. It’s about what you’re feeding yourself in the moments that count.
Most men are walking around with a running internal monologue that would disqualify them from anything hard before they even started. They’ve told themselves the same story so many times it doesn’t even register as a story anymore. It just feels like fact.
I’m not where I want to be. I’ve tried before and it didn’t stick. It’s too late to change this.
That’s not a personality. That’s a diet. And you chose it.
Ali didn’t win silver because of talent alone. She won it because she’s been ruthless about what she feeds her mind, what she trains her body to do, and who she surrounds herself with. She leaned into every hard moment in training so the hard moment on the mat felt familiar instead of foreign.
If you want to watch the video she watched before competing. DM or comment the word YOUTUBE. It’s two and a half minutes.
And if you watch it and something in you recognizes that you’ve been feeding yourself the wrong story for too long, the Agoge was built for men who are ready to change what they consume, how they train, and who they walk with…

It`s my story, but it might as well be yours.
I walked away from MARSOC thinking I was stepping into freedom. Instead I found myself staring at a ceiling at 3am wondering who I was without the uniform.
No mission. No team. No identity.
I went from operating at the highest level on the planet to not knowing what to do with a Tuesday afternoon. The transition didn`t just strip my title, it stripped my purpose.
But here`s what nobody told me: that emptiness wasn`t the end. It was the starting line.
I had to rebuild from scratch. New mission. New brotherhood. New version of myself that didn`t need a unit patch to know his worth.
That`s exactly what Reclaim The Man Within is about, a free 6-day coaching series I built from the ashes of that season.
If you`re somewhere in that fog right now, this is your next step.

Perimenopause is a relatively newer term.
It started showing up in medical literature in the late 1970s and 80s… and didn’t really become widely used until the 90s, when research around women’s hormones started expanding.
It literally comes from the Greek prefix “peri”—meaning “around” or “near.”
👉 A way to describe the hormonal changes leading up to menopause.
At its core, it’s driven by changes in your ovaries—
less consistent production of estrogen and progesterone.
⸻
But maybe it’s NOT perimenopause.
Maybe it’s just aging. Maybe you’re still training like you are 20 and not recovering.
Energy dips.
Recovery slows.
Sleep shifts.
Body composition changes.
Is that just the new normal?
⸻
But here’s the better question…
👉 What happens when you actually optimize your hormones?
Not guess.
Not ignore it.
Not chalk it up to “this is just how it is now.”
Optimize it.
Because a lot of what women accept as “aging” is really:
– Suboptimal hormones
– Poor recovery
– Chronic stress
– Undereating or under-fueling
⸻
And when you address those things?
Everything changes.
You don’t just feel “normal” again…
You perform better than you have in years.
So maybe it’s not about labeling yourself.
Maybe it’s about asking:
👉 What’s possible if I actually support my body the way it needs right now?
What HRT can do:
– Stabilize mood
– Improve sleep
– Support libido
– Help with brain fog
– Protect bone density
Paired with proper nutrition and training, this is how you protect your body for longevity—and actually thrive
Get your bloodwork done.

The latest podcast with my wife @alisoncapra - Just real conversations from two people building a life, a family, and businesses in the middle of the chaos.
This isn’t some polished, feel-good podcast. It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s the stuff people don’t usually say out loud.
Marriage. Pressure. Wins. Losses. Discipline when you don’t feel like it.
We’ve been quiet… but a lot’s been happening.
In this episode, we talk about adopting our baby, selling our home - moving in to an apartment and what it really took to win at Pans.
Not the highlight reel—the real stuff. The stress. The decisions. The moments that test you.
Because winning isn’t just what happens on the mat… it’s what you hold together when everything else is moving.
This one’s about family, pressure, and showing up when it counts.

Strong fathers raise capable kids. It starts here.
Mitri has been in this gym since he was 1 week old.
This isn’t a hobby. This isn’t a phase. This is what we do. Every day. No negotiation.
Your kids are watching every single move you make. They see if you quit. They see if you make excuses. They see if comfort wins.
And they will copy it. All of it.
Weak fathers raise soft kids. That’s not an opinion, that’s a pattern. And it stops wherever a man decides it stops.
It stopped with me.
Being strong is a priority. Being capable is a requirement. That standard doesn’t bend for age, for mood, or for circumstance.
You want different for your kids? Be different. Get in the gym. Show them what a man looks like when he refuses to quit.
The example you set is the standard they inherit.

Not one of those things was handed to you. Not one.

His wife rated him a 14 percent. Fourteen!
That’s what failure looks like quantified.
Most coaching programs will tell you they change lives. They’ll promise transformation. Leadership. Better marriages. More confidence.
We don’t promise anything.
We show you the data.
This is a real member. Real baseline. Real partner survey. Real results.
Phase One: 35 percent to 98 percent!!!
Phase Two: 62 percent delta change.
But here’s what matters, his wife went from rating him a 14 percent to a 91 percent!!
That’s not motivation talk. That’s his wife seeing a different man show up at home.
That’s measurable. That’s undeniable.
We track four phases. Master Yourself. Lead Your Family. Master Your Finances. Build your Legacy.
Every man who comes through gets a baseline. Gets accountability. Gets real data on real change.
Not every man is ready for this.
Not every man wants to see the truth about where he actually is.
But if you’re serious, if your wife is watching this thinking “yeah, that’s us” DM me!
We’ll get on a call. We’ll talk about whether you’re the right fit.
Because we only work with men willing to do the work.

I spent years thinking I could outwork my way through jiujitsu.
Just train more. Roll harder. Grind it out.
It wasn’t working.
Getting my brown belt from @tomdeblass was one of the proudest moments of my life. It was also the moment I realized how much I was doing wrong.
So I changed everything.
The way I train. The way I study. The way I lift, everything in the gym now exists to make me better on the mat. I started filming. Watching. Taking notes. Sitting with guys who are better than me and asking questions instead of trying to keep up.
I’m not trying to be the best in the room.
I’m trying to be 1% better than I was yesterday.
That’s it. That’s the mission.
Some of you are in the same place,
working hard, not seeing the results, wondering if you’re just too old or too far behind to figure it out.
You’re not.
You just haven’t slowed down enough to get smart about it yet.
Stay the course 🤙🏼
I spent years thinking I could outwork my way through jiujitsu.
Just train more. Roll harder. Grind it out.
It wasn’t working.
Getting my brown belt from @tomdeblass was one of the proudest moments of my life. It was also the moment I realized how much I was doing wrong.
So I changed everything.
The way I train. The way I study. The way I lift, everything in the gym now exists to make me better on the mat. I started filming. Watching. Taking notes. Sitting with guys who are better than me and asking questions instead of trying to keep up.

There is no arrival
That’s the hardest truth I’ve had to accept.
You think the goal is the destination, the promotion, the business milestone, the perfect body, the rescued marriage.
You get there. You wait for that feeling.
It never comes the way you thought it would.
The goalpost moves. And that’s not a flaw in the system, that’s the system.
Every summit I reached, I realized it was false. Ten more mountains behind it every single time.
Here’s what I know now:
The mission isn’t reaching a destination.
The mission is walking the road.
The work. The adventure. The path. That’s not the price you pay to get somewhere,that’s the whole point.
The accomplishment is a byproduct of moving forward.
If you don’t love the path you’re on, get on a different one.
Stop walking a road just waiting to arrive.
There is no arrival.
There is only the walk.
Fall in love with that, and everything changes.

Men, hold the standard. @theagoge
2019 was the last time I sat across from @mritland
I was a different man then. Different business. Different mission. Different understanding of what it means to lead.
We didn’t just catch up, we went deep. Business, growth, @theagoge , @coremedhrt , @johnnyslicks , and the kind of conversations most people aren’t willing to have out loud.
Mike is one of the best in the game.
This episode reflects that.

Proud of this kid. 🥇
He had one of his toughest matches yet.
He beat an upper belt (grey belt) for the first time in a competition!
Best part… his BIG sis came to watch!

Most men are losing, and they don’t even know it.
Not to the world. Not to their job. Not to their finances.
They’re losing to themselves.
Isolated in the dark, scrolling. Feeding their kids junk because it’s easier. Sitting on the couch while their kids stand at the door waiting for a father who shows up. Yelling when the pressure gets too high. Numbing out instead of digging in.
I know because I’ve been every version of that man at some point.
Here’s what nobody tells you: you don’t get to choose whether life is hard. You only get to choose which hard.
Hard is sitting alone, disconnected, slowly watching your potential drain out of you.
Hard is also getting on the mat. Eating the food that builds you. Leading by example instead of by command. Sitting bedside and reading to your sons. Learning to regulate yourself before you unravel in front of the people you love.
One hard hollows you out.
The other forges you.
The Agoge exists for the man who is done choosing the wrong one.
Built by discipline. Driven by purpose.
Swipe through and ask yourself honestly, which man are you right now? And which man do your family need you to become?
The brotherhood is here when you’re ready.
