[00:00:01] All right, what's up, y'all? So I'm excited today because I can't wait to share with you the one percent man ascension journal. I created this for men just like me and you, the modern man, because at the end of the day, everyone's telling me, go to therapy, go to therapy, go to therapy. Which is great. Therapy has a great place in our lives. For talk therapy, right at the end, men were a lot more complex than just being able to talk about our feelings, our emotions. That's why with my guy friends, I'm able to get around them and we don't have to talk. But they understand the pain or the suffering I'm going through, and they allow me to expel that, and they allow me to use whatever colorful words I need to use to explain how upset or how I may feel, right? Me, personally, I hate when I'm upset, and I have to deal with a group of women because you cannot use the right words. You have to tone down your message, right? And when I'm with my guy friends, I have to tone down the message. And even when I'm with my therapist, my therapist is a black woman, I have to tone down my message, right? But if I'm with a group of women or if I'm in a. In a group when there's women present, I have to tone down my message. But I need a space where I can go and be as ruthless and as dark as possible. And these men understand me and understand that darkness isn't. It just comes to me being upset. That isn't who I am.
[00:01:21] It is just a part of me that needs to get out. And then they let me get it out, and then I move forward. But the reason why I created this journal was for men to have a place where they can divulge all that in there. I love this day. Zero is the most amazing thing in the world. And I'm going to share the prompt with you right now. It's about writing your own eulogy. There's so much power and understanding where you want to be. At the finish line, we're all going to die. We all think about it. We all contemplate it. Sometimes you sit up at night, you're like, man, one day I'm going to close my eyes. I'm never going to open my eyes again. But. But before I do that, what type of man do I want to be?
[00:02:00] What do I want them to say about me when I'm gone?
[00:02:04] I'm building this massive legacy. I want to build a billion dollar company, $100 million men's company, a home service company, a life insurance company, remote cleaning company. I'm doing all these things, but once I'm dead, no matter how amazing the plans are, it gets passed on to the next generation, no matter what they do, no matter how they fumble it. For me, I wanted to understand, what do I want them to say about me? Who do I want to become? And with having that end in mind, establishing that self, and then saying, okay, what do I have to do to become that?
[00:02:36] You can even go into AI right? And say, use this chat prompt and say, based on our conversation, write me. What do you think the type of man I want to become. Write me a eulogy about what they would say about me when I'm gone, with the man that I want to become, not the man I currently am. That, to me, is super powerful. But I like using my own pen and pencil and writing it down because there's so much power in taking time and thinking about your own death and thinking about when you don't close your eyes anymore because it puts life into perspective. The things that. The things that you thought were major, probably super minor. The things that you thought were minor become major.
[00:03:13] So with that being said, why don't you go pick up the Ascension journal? It's going to take you through every day, the momentum tasks, which I freaking love. So our daily momentum task helps us as men to feel like we're moving forward in life and really produce the right amount of energy to get things knocked out. Everyone talks about great health, but there's a lot of people that look healthy but aren't really healthy. They're not producing enough energy. Right? You can take energy and produce money, sex, kids, tasks, things off your list. But without energy, you can't do anything else. So first thing, number one, is sleep. Second thing is drinking water. Then training, writing in your journal, meditating for five minutes, and then reading five pages of a book for that lifelong learning. And then what are three things you're most grateful for in your Life right now? 1, 2, 3. And then you're gonna reach out to somebody and tell them why you're grateful for them. Then you're gonna list the top three critical tasks you need to get done today so we can move your life forward. A lot of men get stuck on, man, I got all this stuff I need to do. No, no, no. What's the top three things you need to do? Move your life forward, right? Then every day you have a journal prompt, right? That's Going to help you to dive deeper into you about who you are, financial aspect of your life, relationship, aspects of your life, past trauma, all that stuff. So it is like a therapist in a bundle for way less than what a therapist would cost you. I pay about $200 a session, twice a week to go see a therapist, it's about $400, right? This journal probably runs you less than 50 bucks. The most important piece about this is that it comes with one year access to our software where we gamify the experience. You get to challenge other men every single day. Are you doing what you need to do to be successful? Gamify the process and you earn points while you do that. It's amazing because we need that healthy competition against other men, right? When you see a guy, we both go to the gym and work out. Look at that. How much do you bench? What do you squat? We're always finding out, is this guy that's going to lead me or is he going to be a follower of mine? Every guy you meet, hey, who's the top dog? Who's going to lead the group?
[00:05:10] That's how it is with men, right? And it's that primal instinct. But competition against other men is super healthy. That's why I created the 1% man journal. So you can quietly have a place to be super dark and destructive, but also have that healthy natural competition that makes you better. Right? If I had a friend producing a podcast and I'm producing a podcast, and then we're going head to head, I bet you will produce the best podcast in the world. Because he's producing his, I'm producing mine. As he does something, we talk about it. That's like me and my friend Jeff. We do that all the time. But if I was just producing it all by myself, some days it's gonna get lonely, some days the journey is gonna get hard and I may not produce or do what I need to do. So that's why I created that community aspect and gamified it. That healthy competition is going to help you. When I played football, that competition drove me to be the best player possible.
[00:05:55] So at the end of the day, I want you to go pick up the Ascension Journal, join our community, because you and your legacy all depends on it. So my affirmation for you right now is, is be fucking dangerous. Love y'all. I'll talk to you later.
