🦬 The Key to Stop Living a Lukewarm Life
When Arnold Schwarzenegger was training for Mr. Olympia, he would sleep at the gym, not going home for days at a time.
Kobe Bryant famously worked out at 4am, in addition to all of his other practices and training sessions.
Richard Branson started his airline, Virgin Atlantic, without even owning a plane, famously adopting the “Say ‘yes’ now and figure it out later” mindset.
All of these are examples of people living on fire - chasing after what they want with EXTREME levels of intentionality and action.
So why aren’t you living on fire…? You want to, right? We all do!
Everywhere I look, I see men who want to be one thing - they want to be this type of person or do this type of thing - but the fire in their soul has been repressed to a dwindling flicker of conformity and blending in.
So how, as men, can we shed that mentality - how can we quit living lukewarm and start living on fire?
Here’s how…
To achieve the impossible, you must attempt the absurd.
Here is what it takes…
It takes getting extreme.
It takes getting weird.
It takes putting yourself on the line - taking unconventional actions with an uncommon level of intentionality - for long enough that the universe can’t help but reward you.

I just dropped a new podcast episode all about this topic!
Every Friday, I put out an episode talking about how we - as men - can become the best version of ourselves, and this week I tackle the topic of “How can we stop living a lukewarm life?”
Specifically, I break down three examples and the lessons within them:
The importance not WAITING to get weird, through the eyes of Rick Barry
The importance of getting weird in real life, through the eyes of Jesse Itzler
The importance of getting weird on a radically - almost irrationally - consistent basis, through the eyes of yours truly
… and I’d be really grateful if you checked it out!
As always, I appreciate your guys’ support and am humbled that you would let me speak into your lives - even if it is just once or twice/week.
If you enjoy my content, feel free to pass it on to somebody you think could benefit from it!
Until next time… YOU DA MAN!
