The digital world and all of our devices have created tons of opportunities, but that sword has a double-edge. The technology and pace of this new way of life is constantly pulling us out of our bodies and into our heads, while throwing in an endless barrage of distractions along the way. For many...

In the summer of 2018, I decided that I wanted to learn how to backflip. Being 6’7 (2.01m), this seemed like an impossible task. My internal dialogue rattled on... "Am I too lanky to pull this off? Do my legs have to work harder to launch my giant body off of the ground? Will I land on my head...

All of my life, I have loved tending to fires. When I was a little boy, one of my grandparents owned a small cabin a couple hours drive from my hometown. In this cabin, there was a wood burning fireplace. When I was around the age of six, my dad taught me how to set up a proper fire, and I was immediately...

When I was in early elementary, every day I came home from school, I would immediately tear off all of my clothes (down to my underwear) and latch on to whichever parent was relaxing in the living room. My parents nicknamed me 'cuddle bug' for the majority of my childhood, and deservedly so....

One year ago, I embarked on a testosterone boosting mission. My question was simple... "By exclusively using science-backed, natural methods, can I double my testosterone levels, without using any drugs, steroids, SARMS, or any other questionable methods that produce long-term damage...
