THE WORLD WILL BILL YOU FOR YOUR EXISTENCE
There is a lie that weak men tell themselves. They say that money is not important. They say they are too "spiritual" or too "focused on relationships" to care about finances. This is a coward's excuse. Money is the ammunition of your life. Without it, you cannot fight. Without it, you cannot protect. Without it, you are a casualty waiting to happen. I have stared into the abyss of zero. I found out exactly what happens when the resources run dry. It is not noble. It is terrifying. When you cannot pay for the best doctor for your sick child, tell me how unimportant money is. When you cannot help a brother who is about to lose his home, tell me how virtuous your poverty is. You have a moral obligation to be a surplus machine. You must produce more than you consume. If you are barely scraping by, you are a burden. You are one accident away from needing a handout. That is not leadership. That is dependency. You must harden your mind against the consumer culture. They want you weak. They want you in debt. They want you to trade your freedom for a shiny truck and a bigger TV. Do not let them enslave you. Every dollar you waste is a piece of your freedom you are handing over to the enemy. It is time to go to war with your impulses. It is time to lock down the Vault. If you are not stacking resources, you are failing your duty. Get aggressive. Get lean. Get safe. THE DRILL 1. Calculate your "Burn Rate" (Total monthly expenses to keep the lights on). 2. Multiply that number by 6. This is your "Sleep at Night" number. 3. Write this number on your mirror. Do not stop grinding until you hit it.

My goals to finish the week are to organize my dining room ("war room") and organize my living room. A clean house helps with a clean mind and listen to podcasts to improve my personal growth and knowledge. For my physical goals I'll walk/hike along with 60 push-ups total for the day. For my mental well being to get my good note/positivity jar started. I'm going to be a positive, responsible, and reflective man. Solid talk as always. @Brian Arbuthnot @Zachary Martin

Beta Forge In full Effect!
Some of you know some you may not know, and a few of you are in the beta forge right now. We are coming into the last two weeks. Two weeks from today will be the close of the very first forge man. It has been an epic journey that we have been on, and so powerfully inspiring, motivating, and in the for progress for myself and I believe for the men inside of the forge has been astronomical. We've had weight loss, financial gain, connection with family and self—nobody's business. The team has really moved forward this group of brothers, the founding fathers of the forge. Our moving towards completion and the close of our test, and we're going to start using this thread here as the place that we throw out all the amazing successes we have had so far. That financial increase above and beyond what we expected and thought was possible. And that possibility was even still a risk, and still we've successfully achieved and exceeded those numbers. We are on a weight journey, fitness journey, a connection with our kids, ourselves, and financial growth— all things which most people say you got to get focused on one thing and give up on everything else. To really be a successful, an incredible man, the best father and man you can be in this world is not about doing one thing and leaving everything else to ruin. But being able to manage and handle all aspects of your life to completion and success. This is where it's at. This is how it happens. This is where we make change. The forge is real. And you're welcome to join next week. We're going to open up the beginning of the next forge sign-ups, and we look forward to you being part of the very first forge. What will you forge in 2026? 💪💰😂👪🛝🔥

@Zachary Martin i believe that i need to verbalize more with people around me about the path that i am on. I have kept this transformation tight to the vest, thinking if i speak about my progress, that i actually give away part of me. Truth is that practicing the positive dialog is very much a part of what i need for success
