I'd Rather Die With Purpose Than Live Aimless to 100
I'd Rather Die With Purpose Than Live Aimless to 100
I saw the post on social that presented an observation supported by research that the people who lived the longest were the people with no purpose – people with "life purpose" died of stress-related illnesses in their 60s and 70s. This all started with an observation by an 87-year-old Okinawan fisherman who noted that

Power/Field Strong Athletes enjoy your first rest day. You have put in 4-6 days of new training and have earned a day off. Down the line, the program might call for more days of training but when learning new movements it helps us to not over load the system too early. I have been working…

The Collapse of a Perfect World: What Mice Can Teach Us About Society
I saw an Instagram post yesterday about a guy who sold his company for $975 million and had feelings of being lost and depressed with no purpose. Despite having everything, he admitted he had no idea what to do with his life. It reminded me of John Calhoun’s Universe 25 experiment - a man-made mouse

Cracking the Truth: How Eggs Support Heart Health and Peak Performance
Eggs have long been at the center of nutritional controversy. These nutrient powerhouses have long been demonized for everything from heart attacks to cancer. A targeted media-fueled hit campaign has been aimed at eggs like they sold subprime mortgages for Black Rock. The latest study, "Debunking the Myth: Eggs and Heart Disease," takes a deep
10 Rules for Life: Break Free from Society’s Flawed Standards of Masculinity
10 Rules for Life: Break Free from Society’s Flawed Standards of Masculinity
In my recent Man Points article, inspired by a concept shared by Chris Williamson, I broke down society’s unspoken rule: men must earn the right to show vulnerability through success, strength, status, or looks. If you don’t measure up, you’re dismissed. This system traps men, forcing them into a cycle where their worth is judged

Mike Tyson on Being Favored by God & Targeted by the Devil
Mike Tyson, a man who has danced in the darkness and found redemption, recently delivered a profound reflection during his conversation with Francis Ngannou. Tyson’s quote, pulled heavily from his own life experiences, speaks to the eternal struggle between good and evil, a battle that plays out not just in the world around us but

1984 vs. Brave New World: Which Dystopian Future Wins Out?
If you want to talk about clairvoyance, George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are essential touchpoints for the world we live in today. Published in 1949 and 1932, these novels remain high water marks for dystopian literature, each offering a chilling prophecy about the future of society. Orwell envisioned a world ruled

Are Man Points Bullsht? Earning Vulnerability in a Flawed Game
Chris Williamson recently posted on Instagram about society's unspoken expectation that men need to achieve a certain level of success by accumulating "Man Points" before they can openly express their emotions without facing judgment. This concept implies that vulnerability in men must be “earned” through traditional markers of masculinity like physical strength, financial success, social

Thanksgiving Traditions: Smoked Turkey, Sourdough Stuffing, & Prime Rib Perfected
Growing up, Thanksgiving was always a big deal in my family. My parents went all out with traditions that made the holiday unforgettable. My mom prepared dishes like fresh cranberry dressing with walnuts and a pea and cashew salad, working tirelessly in the kitchen while my dad carved up the turkey. When I made it to

Meritocracy & Machiavelli for Nice Guys: Peterson on Power & Integrity
On Saturday morning while doing my Power Athlete programming, I listened to Jamie Wheal and Jordan Peterson dissecting the complex idea of meritocracy, questioning what true success should look like in a society that often celebrates cutthroat ambition. I couldn’t help but connect their ideas to the themes I explored in my recent post, Machiavelli

Strength & Balance Training for Older Adults
As we get older, balance is often the first thing to go, and that’s no small issue. A loss of balance is one of the biggest reasons older adults fall, leading to fractures, disability, and in serious cases, death. But it doesn’t have to be the case. A solid strength and balance program can help
