The Boundaries of Blind Binary Bros.
“Social Media Sites Create illusions of connectivity.” ― Malay Shah Your internet life is not real, do you know that? I like the quote above because it highlights the fact that there are people out there who have 10,000+ followers online yet they feel completely alone and isolated in the “meat world“. The issue here transcends simple […]
Continue reading...At the Edge of the Fire’s Light.
I want you to picture this. There’s one of our ancestors from 10,000 years ago. He’s got a fire made, his tribe is sleeping, and he has been designated as the “night watch“. He hears something in the bushes, a rustling, a shadow, movement that can’t be seen but rather felt. He grabs his buddies […]
Continue reading...Repressed Masculinity is the only type of “Toxic Masculinity” there is.
“Toxic Masculinity” isn’t real, at least not in the sense mainstream media says it is. There is only one form of toxic masculinity and that is repressed masculinity. Oppressed masculinity becomes repressed masculinity which turns to depressed masculinity. All that rhyming simply means when you’re told to bottle up all of that biological programming, it makes you a […]

Fortune favors the bold. Unfortunately, boldness appears to be lost on men today. Boldness can be uncomfortable. It’s risky. But it can also be quite rewarding. Today’s man prefers comfort and predictability, even if it comes as the expense of mediocrity. He hasn’t tasted the fruit that’s harvested when his life is fertilized by being […]

I’m sitting in the Orlando International Airport people watching and going over the past week in my mind. To be completely honest, it’s a nauseous blur, not due to anything other than the amount of incredible insights and interactions I’ve had. I made it through the 2018 21 Convention sober, which is a hell of an accomplishment as […]

A tribe of men committed to this exchange in value find themselves within a contingent that is hardened to the point of being near impervious to outside threats. Every man receives what he is lacking and gives […]

The Family Alpha has its first Official Product Endorsement. Somehow it seems appropriate that it’s coffee I chose to link my brand to as that is the lifeblood of the Navy man which is something I’ve carried with me to this day. This coffee is legit; I have a high standard when it comes to […]

We live in a dark world. While life can be exhilarating and beautiful, it can also be tragic and hideous. Being the man and alpha leader of the family means being prepared to act when danger enters the familial sphere in which we lead. It’s part of the burden of a family. For most men […]

Anthony Johnson of 21 Studios & 21 University was the man who signed off on me being a speaker at the 21 Convention 2017. I’d never met Anthony We’d interacted briefly a few times online I’d never given a public speech before All Anthony had to go off was the Periscopes I do in my Jeep […]

When someone you know and love kills themselves, as uncomfortably ironic as it seems, they hurt those left behind that are still breathing more than they did their own person. That may seem cold and cruel as their life was snuffed out, but when they take the act to turn off the light in their […]
