To start this off - Thank you for being here. If you are receiving this email, it's because you have supported my brand at one point and time, and for that, I am eternally grateful. This journey has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am excited to continue, and share some "new" discoveries (remembrance) that I have realized over the last 12 months doing deep inner soul work.
​
Firstly, like the title of this letter eludes to, I have realized that there is more to life than health and fitness. This was a major blind spot for me. I had built an entire personal brand and coaching business on the philosophy that we "have to be doing hard things", and "fitness is the way to reclaim radical sovereignty in your life" - And I totally believed it. At the time, I had seen what overcoming adversity and prioritizing physical health had done for me, and I had a calling deep within my soul to share this wisdom with other people. At the same time, this radical endurance lifestyle was slowly becoming something that was not benefiting to my metabolic health, vitality, nervous system, consciousness, and spirituality. I was scarfing down food to keep up with training, constantly digesting and clouding my mental channel. This caused my mental health and deep work capacity to plummet. I was putting all of my energy into training, documenting the journey on social media, and then "half-assing" every other area of my life by default.
​
​Something had to change. Although this stepping stone brought great purpose and clarity to my life in the moment, detaching from it in order to receive new guidance and wisdom has been one of the best decisions I have ever made - And so my journey took me in other directions.
​
I began to choose the things that felt best for my nervous system, while still prioritizing specific habits and patterns to keep me vital. I embarked on a radical inner healing journey, curious to seek my role and purpose in this universe. My morning run blocks turned into morning gratitude and prayer. My high-calorie meals for optimal endurance performance turned into 100% intuitive eating for what feels best in the moment, and with the idea that I was prioritizing radical health - not just performance. Dedicated "work-blocks" filled with scrolling socials and procrastination turned into hours of reading, writing, and effortless periods of flow-state.
​
What shifted?
​
Well, pretty much everything. I could go into many stories and events - like the traumatic brain injury I experienced last November that almost left me paralyzed. Once I recovered (after months of immense confusion), I was "reborn" with a new child-like state of wonder, and a new-found ability to completely reprogram. (Thank you, God) This event led to a lot. Although, mainly, what shifted was my intention and purpose behind it all. I came to the conclusion that without this sense of purpose, nothing makes sense. So I dedicated my entire existence into taking advantage of this reprogramming ability, and falling deeper into my understanding of life. Intention is everything. Words are just words, until they have an intention behind them. "Intention" is not a thought, it is a feeling. Feelings are energy. The way we create energy is through the body. This means that unless our thoughts are charged with energy from the body, they will remain mere thoughts. This concept allowed me to learn to manifest and create the most benefitting outcomes in every area of my life. We are all powerful wizards capable of casting spells once we learn how to charge them. Do you see it yet? Intention is the backbone of everything. Without it, we are simply conscious beings not connected to any kind of energy or source. It is the fuel to everything that we are seeking or creating in life.
​
This brings me to the most important concept and philosophy with the wisdom I have now. (Lifelong learner) - Connection to something greater than ourselves. Yes, I am talking about "God".
​
Source, God, Creator, Spirit, Jesus, Buddha - however it best feels to you - I have become aware of an undeniable light energy that is guiding all of this. An energy that has always been there. I just haven't been able to verbalize it until now. It all became crystal clear once I began to audit my intentions and truths. WHAT IS RIGHT? WHAT IS WRONG? IS IT RELATIVE? IS IT UNIVERSAL? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? HOW CAN I KNOW? The truth is, there is no one-size fits all answer for this question. However, I can explain my thoughts and experiences as a reference for you to come to your own conclusions.
​
I believe that in order for you to maximize this source connection, it requires being a clear channel. This means that we are living the best way that we possibly can with the information that we have, while always being open to receive new information and wisdom - even when it questions our "normal" and societal normalities. We are creatures of habits and patterns; a product of our environment and experiences throughout our entire lives. It is important to realize this on the path of enlightenment, because that path usually requires letting go of old norms that aren't serving you, and forming new habits and thought patterns that serve your highest good. I am essentially explaining the concept of allowing source energy to flow through you. This is the gut feeling you have when you know something is off. It is also the feeling when you when you have synchronicities and epiphanies. That is your intuition - your channel. Whenever we compromise on ourselves and God, by not living the most truthful and authentic version of our lives (AKA not being a clear channel) - thats when things can feel confusing. It is because that is how we are meant to live. When we are not connected, we don't even know what our "gifts" are, and when we aren't sharing our gifts, we feel like an animal in a cage.
​
This wisdom was essential for my development. "You are telling me that I don't have to know or even understand, and that I can just FEEL?" This is how I felt when first exploring the concept, and the answer is yes and no. Feeling IS knowing. And so how do we know what we feel is right? The only way that I have been able to find solace in this question is through God, and fully surrendering to the divine wisdom he pours into my channel. If we are always doing our best, and if we are always doing good in the eyes of God (this means being a 100% clear channel - essentially living your life as you understand Jesus or Buddha to have lived), how could you do any "wrong". In my eyes, you can't. And I don't mean that its OK to go and "sin" and do whatever you want just because you are forgiven. That is not your "best". And I also don't think you need to go and do everything that Jesus or Buddha did. I am more so trying to paint this concept of what it means to do good in the eyes of "God:. At the end of the day, this comes down to what you believe to be true. I surely don't have it all "figured out", and I don't feel the need to. I am simply playing the tune that God tells me to in order to play my part in the divine orchestration. This "tune" is my intuition. It is source energy. When I can receive the wisdom and play my tune accordingly, this is what it means to be a clear channel. This is what it means to be connected to "God".
​
And so now here I am. Living my life in accordance with this connection - and guess what? Every single area of my life has skyrocketed. My physical health has never been so dialed in. I am 10% body fat, looking good, feeling good, and playing good. My hormones are optimal (my testosterone has been sitting above 1,000 ng/dl and my DHT is through the roof resulting in being able to grow a massive beard for the first time in my life, and my sexual/creative energy has never felt so explosive yet regulated). Overall, I feel regulated, convicted, safe, loved, purposeful, and everything that I have spent years seeking through a narrow societal perspective.

Which has all aided in creating this new chapter of my life. It is the story behind my new brand and coaching cohort -
​MODERN MAN REBIRTH. (I will be sending out sign ups for this next week - I know a lot of you are pumped. Let's go!)​
​
​I could go on and on about all of the stories and experiences that have brought me to this new perspective, and I definitely plan to. If you resonated with this letter, I would be honored to have you stick around. There will be new content dropping weekly, most of which unpacking philosophy to aide in unlocking authentic alignment in all of our lives. ​
​
​Thank you so much for being here. Sending miracles and blessings to you all.
