Most mornings, before the rest of the house is awake, I drop and do my burpees. I started with 30. Nowadays its 50.
I have not skipped a day in years. Sick, traveling, buried in work, it makes no difference. It is a small thing. It is also the foundation everything else is built on.
Look around at most men.
Man is caged.
He spends the best years of his life commuting to a job that only pays the bills, while his strength, his time, and his potential quietly drain away. He wants control of his days. He wants to earn without a ceiling. He wants to say no to what does not matter, and yes to what does.
He wants to be strong, and he wants to be free.
So that's what I set out to build. Not with hacks or hustle. With a few simple things, done consistently, for years.
A hard body, built on daily burpees and kettlebell work through the week.
A strong bank account, built on a boring system I run myself. Spend less than I earn, put the difference into a global index fund and physical gold, and never flinch when the market falls.
Strength and money were never the point. They are the means. The point is freedom. Strong enough to handle whatever comes. Free enough to answer to no one.
Iron & Gold is where I write it down, every week.
The training, the money, what is working and what is not. Not as a guru who has arrived, but as a man a few steps down the road, showing you the way I am walking it.
If that is the man you want to become, join me.
Fortis et Liber.
Strong and free.
