It’s been a few weeks now since returning home to California and I feel like I’ve barely managed to make a dent in this pile of email that accumulated during my travels. The count for unread email should NEVER be in the 4-figure range. But I digress. If you’ve emailed me and haven’t heard back, rest assured, I’m working on it. If it’s of an urgent nature, of course, send me another email or give me a call.

For those of you who came to see Nick and I speak on my Americas Tour, thank you for the support and especially to those of you who lent a hand along the way with rides, places to stay, etc. The tour was once again an unforgettable experience meeting hundreds of motivated guys, making new friends, seeing new places, and just experiencing all that life has to offer. Over 15 cities in 30 days including 3 in South America and two in the Caribbean. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s that time again.

Yesterday I arrived in Seattle — the first leg of my 2nd annual “Americas” Tour where I travel around North and South America stopping in nearly every major city to do free lair talks and presentations. Last year’s trip to Colombia was one of the greatest growth opportunities and experiences of my life, and I expect no different this year. Read the rest of this entry »

I normally don’t do this because I’m a hardass and expect men to be men and be responsible adults. But I suppose I’ve gone soft because I’m giving you procrastinators one last chance.

Today is the deadline for applications for the free boot camp offer for those who attended T21C Orlando 2010. That’s right, for a measly $150 ticket price, some lucky-but-deserving-guy is going to get a $2000 boot camp — free. To my knowledge, I’m the first and only coach to give out actual training vouchers as prizes at live events. But it’s no longer going to be random. From now on, training voucher prizes are going to be more like scholarships — they will be awarded to the most worthy candidates.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, then I highly suggest you attend next year’s 21 Convention Event, either in Europe or Orlando. You just might get a free boot camp out of it.

I originally wrote this in like 2006 and it spread around all the forums back then. Stumbled across it recently and decided to update it for 2010 as pick up has changed a lot since ’06. You old-timers will probably remember some of the references from back in the day.

10. You know who Eben, Erik, Neil, and Owen are, but you refuse to call them by their real names unless they insist. Sometimes not even then.

9. Every time you hang out with your friends/wings, you crack at least one joke “asking for a female opinion”.

8. Your former porn hiding space is now overrun with pickup books and DVDs.

7. When people mention “Tyler Durden” from Fight Club you’re not thinking of Brad Pitt. It’s actually weird to watch fight club again because all the references have different meanings to you. The project mayhem cult references are twice as funny in an inside-joke sort of way.

It’s that time again, gents. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already since the last 21 Convention event. For those of you fairly new to the blog, last year’s convention was my first major speaking engagement after having resigned from the old company and starting out on my own. Even though I had decent media exposure from my previous employer, I was, for the most part, walking into the convention as a “nobody.” In fact, I was technically a fill-in for someone else who couldn’t make it. And even when I gave the speech, I thought I was bombing it.

But to my surprise, the reviews, emails, and feedback started pouring in and apparently people liked it. That one little speech seemingly launched my career, giving way to MTV deals, interviews, documentary appearances, and tons of exposure. But even more important than that were Read the rest of this entry »
