Shooting vs. Scoring
Let me ask you something:
Do you know how to shoot… or do you know how to score?
There’s a difference.
A big one.
And it separates high performers from everyone else.

Stocks are catching some positive momentum here of late. The S&P 500 finished 20% above the April 8th post-Liberation Day low last week, and now trades just 3% below the February record high. The first 5+ months of this year have been an absolute doozy. Trade and tariffs are still very much the biggest story in public markets and the primary driving force behind daily price action. President Trump and China’s Xi held a 75-minute phone call last week which ended with an agreement to a new round of trade talks, set for today June 9th.
Read MoreWhy Calories Don’t Count If You Can’t Digest Them
We’ve all heard it a thousand times:
“Weight loss is just calories in vs calories out.”
And sure, that’s technically true — energy balance matters.
But here’s the catch: your body doesn’t run on calories counted on a label.
It runs on what you can digest, absorb, and actually utilize.
Let that sink in.

After helping lead HPLT content for 10 summits now, I’ve realized that there is no perfect way to prepare. While the bones of the weekends stay the same, the action in the moment can be totally unpredictable. Chasing down runners on e-bikes, hanging out of golf carts, shooting underwater, etc. Preparation doesn’t have to mean you’re ready for what’s to come. For us, it moreso means being prepared to handle what’s out of your control. The unexpected. Studying our weekend itinerary, planning out our routes, and getting crystal clear on our individual tasks is what’s helped us stay at the top of our game after all these years!
Read MoreThe Forgotten Warrior: Modern Problems, Ancient Solutions for our Entrepreneurs, Athletes, and Fathers
We live in a time when a man can build a business from a smartphone, compete at a world-class level, and raise a family under the same roof—and still feel like he’s failing at all three.
Why?
Because we’ve drifted too far from what made us strong in the first place.

Stocks went higher last week, with big tech leading the way. Tariff headlines, or at least the daily ping-pong of tweets and headlines that drastically moved markets intra-day like we saw a month ago, have largely mattered less, in terms of reactive markets. Secretary Treasury Scott Bessent late last week mentioned that the ongoing dialogue with China had ‘stalled a bit’ and the market barely budged. Aside from tariff talk, Nvidia earnings came in strong on both results and guidance.
Read MoreHow Alcohol Can Quietly Ruin Your Gains
You train hard. You eat clean. You do most things right — but alcohol might still be slowing you down.
Even moderate, “social” drinking can interfere with your body’s ability to build muscle, recover properly, and burn fat. It’s not about demonizing alcohol — it’s about understanding how it actually affects your progress, so you can make informed choices based on your goals.
Read MoreWhy More Men Need to Surround Themselves with Strong Women (aka Weapons)
If you want to go further, stronger, and sharper—stand next to a weapon, not a wallflower.
We live in a time where masculinity is constantly being debated—dismantled, defended, and redefined. And in the middle of that storm, one truth gets overlooked:
Real men aren’t intimidated by strong women—they’re sharpened by them.
If you’re serious about becoming a high performer—not just in the gym, not just in your bank account, but in your life—you need to audit who you’re standing next to. Because if the people closest to you aren’t weapons, you’re not sharpening. You’re softening.

Read MoreHow to Bounce Back After a Memorial Day Weekend Binge
Let’s face it—Memorial Day weekend often turns into a free-for-all. BBQs, beers, s’mores, chips, and enough sodium to make you wake up feeling like a water balloon. But here’s the deal: one indulgent weekend doesn’t ruin your progress. What will ruin it is letting a 3-day slip turn into a 3-week spiral.
Here’s how to reset—fast.

Rising before the sun! As long as I get 7 hours sleep - If I have to be up later for events etc. I will give myself the extra time, as SLEEP is integral to success in everything. I will not sacrifice getting sufficient sleep to be up at 5:15am.
Prayers and Push-ups - Every morning for the last 20+ years… no matter where I am.
Skin and oral care routine - I have a 3 step Skincare protocol and a 4 step oral care protocol .
Why I Love Being Perfect
Too many people are chasing this idea of a “perfect life.” Let’s be crystal clear—there is no such thing. But what you will experience are moments of perfection along your journey to becoming the most consistent high performer you can be. And that’s the real goal: to string together as many of those perfect moments as possible.

Markets were up for a 3rd week in the past four. We are now ~ 3% from the record high set back in February, and close to 20% above the April lows following the initial tariff announcements from Trump. The agreement between the US & China a little over a week ago, was both better-than-expected + happened faster-than-expected… The markets reacted accordingly, playing catchup right from the jump a week ago today.

Most people treat cardio as a punishment or an afterthought. Big mistake.
If your goal is to actually build a serious engine—whether for Hyrox, CrossFit, bodybuilding, sport, or just being a high-performing human—you need to target all the energy systems, with intent. That means structuring your week around intensity, recovery, and purpose!
Here’s how I would structure a week of cardio across 5 days:

The First 12 Years Set the Tone
If you’re a parent, there’s something critical to understand you are your child’s favorite person until 12. This isn’t just some "come to Jesus" observation. It’s a fact. Until around this age, your child looks at you with a lens of admiration, trust, and reliance. They see you as the hero, the figure they want to emulate, and the person who holds the answers. They believe you can do no wrong.

The US stock market pulled back marginally last week after trading back up & through the early April lows following Trump’s tariff announcements. Headlines on the tariff front leaned positive throughout the week, with most of the focus remaining on any major takeaways between the US & China. Trump & his team announced an agreement with the UK which included lower tariffs on UK-made cars to 10%, steel & aluminum was removed entirely from the tariff list, and a 10% universal tariff on everything else will remain… It was viewed as a generally positive outcome, with more announcements with other trade partners to follow in the coming days/weeks.

Head of Performance at 3X4 Genetics
As a strength and conditioning coach, I spent years helping athletes push their limits, but I saw too many hit plateaus or injuries due to one-size-fits-all approaches. I conducted countless power and fitness assessments to better understand each athlete, but there were always too many unknown variables. A personal breakthrough came when a genetic test revealed my own histamine overload issue, which caused intense stomach pain that limited my training sessions. That sparked my passion for sports genetics. Addressing my personal health issues allowed me to optimize my performance plan and inspired me to help others do the same.
