Was talking with Chad (defundsimping) today on the phone. We discussed the idea around making certain things "habit" or "lifestyle". See most guys compartmentalize. Work is seen as the "9-5". "work life balance" "work hard play hard" There is separation there. They treat approaching women the same way. They treat social circle the same way. When in reality, making money is a lifestyle. Its not something you just do 40 hours per week. Opening people is a lifestyle. Its not something you just do on Friday night. Social building is a lifestyle. Its not something you just do once and its done, but rather forever. He who loves to walk will always walk the furthest. Develop a love for the game, or get beaten by players that do. The end.

Dear members, It's about time we jump start this thing again. There's no reason this community can't be the best accelerator for men looking to level up their social value and create a circle with women, friends, and business connections. For that we need regular engagement and feedback from our members. I'll own some of the blame for letting things stagnate, but we're here to get back on track. So going forward, ⚠️we will be removing any members inactive past 60 days. ⚠️ there will be no ability to rejoin once you are booted. Also know that we will be adding more trainings, recordings, and mini courses going forward. To update your engagement in this community, comment the word "here" on this post. Let's make this thing great, Brian
