I need to come clean with you all. I owe you the truth about why I disappeared and why I haven’t been as engaged as I should have been. Creating this community was a dream come true for me. For the past two years, I’ve been grinding on Twitter/X, pushing to make this vision a reality. My goal has always been clear: I want to replace my full-time job and dedicate myself to being an online personal development coach, helping men get lean, learn to fight, and become the best versions of themselves. These past five months, I’ve been running on pure determination—waking up at 4 a.m. every day, writing, creating content, and handling all the behind-the-scenes tasks that come with building a business. I was laser-focused on figuring out how to make this community something truly special. My days were relentless: up at 4 a.m., out the door for work by 6 a.m., back home by 6 p.m., and then right back to work on this dream. I was seeing progress. It felt like I was finally moving forward, and I embraced the “work, work, work” mentality with everything I had. But I made a mistake. I stopped training, meditating, reading and doing my rituals that make me...ME. Thinking if I just pushed hard enough now, I’d soon have the time to focus on my health and on helping you guys achieve your goals. Then I burned out. Hard. And when I hit that wall, I crashed. I fell back into my old vices—Cannabis, video games, junk food and neglecting the discipline I preach about. I fell into despair & honestly felt like I didn't want to do this anymore. I was so focused on the future I was neglecting the present. I spiraled into a place I never thought I’d find myself in again. I love Martial Arts, shooting my bow, going to the GYM, taking care of my garden... But I stopped because I acted as if I didn't have time for all of this Burnout happens when you’re so focused on work that you forget the things that make you who you are. It’s a lesson I’ve learned the hard way multiple times I’m sharing this with you because I believe it’s something a lot of self-improvement coaches don’t talk about: the fall.
