Gentlemen I wanted to expand with y’all on a post I recently shared. While similar to the caption I share with the public I’m going to go deeper for you. Brothers, let’s be real: If you’re lacking confidence you’re stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, fear, and pity.
You might have even convinced yourself that you’re okay with being average—just another guy trying to get by. But deep down, you know that’s a lie. You feel it, that gnawing discontent, the sense that there’s more to life. More to YOU. You’ve just been playing small for so long that it feels normal. It’s time to break out of that cycle and claim your greatness. This is exactly what the Agoge 90 day transformation is designed to do. It is a challenge but I know you can conquer it and teach yourself that by doing so you can conquer anything. If you’re still doubting your ability to conquer the Agoge, try basic training but incorporate the following to build unshakable confidence: 1. Develop a Warrior’s Physique:
Physical strength is the foundation of mental resilience. When you push yourself beyond your limits in the gym, you become faster, stronger, and more powerful. That physical transformation feeds into your mental toughness. You begin to believe in your own ability to conquer anything because you’ve proven it to yourself every time you grind it out. 2. Cultivate Courage:
Fear is the invisible force that keeps most men small. You need to be brutally honest with yourself about what scares you—whether it’s failure, judgment, or pain, all of which are inevitable and part of growth. A failure is only a fail if you don’t use it as an opportunity to learn, judgement happens regardless of what you do, unfortunately it’s the human condition. Pain? While as it’s been said pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice. Each time you confront fear and push through, you break another chain of self-doubt that’s been holding you back. Fear is natural, courage acknowledges the fear and moves forward anyway. 3. Create Daily Wins:
Confidence isn’t built overnight—it’s built through consistent action. Start with 2-5 goals every day. They should challenge you, but be achievable. Each goal you crush is a brick in the foundation of your self-belief. This habit of winning spills over into every area of life. And just like strength training, you increase the load, progressively increasing the challenge. Watch as your confidence skyrockets with every success.

How will you be challenging yourself today?

As you may or may not know I share a lot of short form content, looking to do more long form but wanted to expand on this short with y’all. Does what happens politically affect our lives, yeah absolutely, does voting make a difference? Debatedly. Does complaining about politics improve your life? NOT ONE ZERO BIT! As taught by the stoic philosophers of old focus on what you CAN Control, don’t worry about what you can’t. Do what you can daily to be a better man a better asset and leader to your loved ones and community. Practice virtue, increase your ability to serve and secure and rest well knowing you are making a positive impact on those around you!

If you're not doing this daily you are robbing yourself of ever really reaching your best, it's simple you most likely make sure your children are capable of it yet amidst the distractions of modern life you're probably not doing it... That's reading, while there's value to podcasts, audiobooks educational content written word is an amazing driver for growth and change. I know I read several books in th last year that I had consumed via audiobook previously and I got SO MUCH more from the text, I know we all learn differently but books will change your life! So what are you reading?

What’s everyone doing this fine day? I’ll be teaching kids judo/jujutsu all afternoon then hitting the adult classes.
