From the Founder, Brian Mazza 6/30

The Real Pandemic? Complainers.

There’s a virus far more contagious than any flu or strain that’s ever hit humanity. 

It spreads in silence, infects minds, and corrodes morale.

It multiplies in boardrooms, locker rooms, group chats, family dinners, and gym floors. And the symptoms? Chronic negativity, emotional paralysis, and a complete rejection of personal responsibility.

Let’s call it what it is: The Complainer Pandemic.

Complainers Don’t Want Solutions. They Want Attention.

There’s a dangerous breed of people out there who disguise victimhood as vulnerability. They’re not looking for support, growth, or change. They’re looking for someone to validate their excuses.

They gather like moths to the dimmest light, feeding off each other’s misery.

You’ve seen them:

  • At the gym, always talking more than training.

  • At work, always discussing what’s wrong—but never offering a fix.

  • On social media, launching passive-aggressive crusades from the comfort of their couch.

Here’s the truth: Complainers don’t build anything. They tear down everything. Energy, confidence, culture, momentum—they destroy all of it.

High Performers Don’t Complain. They Compete.

Every second spent complaining is a second stolen from progress.

Winners feel the pain, the pressure, and the unfairness too—but they transmute it. They lift more, run further, think clearer, and execute harder. Not because life is easy, but because they made a decision:

To rise instead of rot.

If you’re a leader, an entrepreneur, a parent, or an athlete—pay attention to the tone of your environment. The culture of your circle will shape your standards.

Complainers? They are contagious.

But so is discipline. So is effort. So is extreme ownership.

There Are Only Two Types of People in Any Room:

  • The Builder – Raises the standard, creates momentum, owns everything.

  • The Blamer – Drags the energy down, resents responsibility, explains everything away.

Which one are you?

Look at your habits.

Look at your speech.

Look at the people around you.

Are you part of the problem or the prescription?

The Cure?

It’s not comfort.

It’s not sympathy.

It’s clarity, ownership, and discipline.

  • Speak with intention.

  • Act with accountability.

  • Surround yourself with people who hold a higher standard than you.

The complainer pandemic doesn’t need masks or mandates.

It needs leaders who refuse to participate.

Final Word:

You can either complain about the weight, or pick it up and get stronger.

You can either vent about the opportunity, or work until it becomes yours.

You can either curse the rain, or become the storm.

The world is watching. Your children are watching. Your team is watching.

Let them see someone who builds, not blames.

It’s time to inoculate the world against mediocrity—one action, one standard, one decision at a time.

No more complaints. Just commitments.

Let’s go.
