-Freedom Through Discipline-

A Live 12-Week Online Men’s Course with Michael Holt

Your vitality is the most accurate predictor of whether or not you will achieve your ambitions. And your resolve in prioritizing and maintaining your vitality is directly proportional to the degree of internal peace you will experience throughout the moment by moment unfolding of your life. If you do not have non-negotiable disciplines in place for the cultivation of vitality,  you will be harshly confronted by regret.

Modern cultural norms encourage you to become flaccid, disconnected, and obedient. Rejecting these trends and adhering to a lifestyle of self-discipline is the pinnacle revolutionary act of these times. In this era, to become vital is the highest rebellion. 

Masculine Vitality is the unmistakable sense of sovereignty, trustworthiness, and charisma which emanates from the core of a man who governs himself wisely in body and mind. 

Implementing the principles and practices required for building a strong foundation of Masculine Vitality will infuse your life with a reservoir of balanced sustainable energy to be utilized in fulfilling your highest potential. 

It’s time to take responsibility for turning yourself into the man you know you are capable of becoming.

 It is time to claim your Masculine Vitality.
