The Truth About TESTOSTERONE (8 things every man should know) For 30 years, I’ve been obsessed with health and fitness. It’s paid off—at 54, I’m feeling and performing better than ever. A couple years ago—after doing a ton of research—I started on testosterone replacement…
I love podcast hosts like Nate who are genuinely curious—it produces the best conversations. We covered some topics I haven’t talked about publicly before. Check it out and let me know what you think—feedback is gold to me and I read all DMs! 👇
🌟 How a $150M mansion meeting made this CMO quit everything In this week's Horizons Podcast, @Camp4 shares how he completely rebooted his life after reaching the pinnacle of corporate success: 💡 Why traditional success can be a trap if it's not aligned with your values 🔑 The…
Is this the pinnacle of success—or a gilded cage? I distinctly remember sitting in my top floor executive office, looking out the window, thinking… “I’m on the wrong side of the glass.” Be careful what you chase—because you just might catch it.
Yesterday: Wake up with family & friends staying with us Great coffee Model Y drives me into the mountains Send 12c trad project Work on Bolt Run errands with daughter Wild-caught salmon on the grill Games on the patio In bed by 9pm Imagine thinking this is better👇
Men what is your dream day on vacation? Wake up with all your boys, meet some women, have some drinks, sit by the pool, eat at a 5*, drive a super car you rented in Marbella? Your vacation is my every day. Every damn day.
If you only learn one thing from me, let it be this. (The takeaway is at the end.) Ten years ago, I made a series of big decisions that changed my family’s future: —Quit a "dream job" —Walked away from millions —Moved to Colorado —Set hard boundaries on work It wasn’t all…
Skinny guys run & cycle too much and stay weak and unfit. Thick guys lift too much and stay bulky and unfit. 👉Do things you suck at. Or even better, choose a fitness mode that is functional and combines all dimensions of fitness. If only such a sport existed… 🧗
Everyone who loves cardio should do weights. Everyone who loves weight should do cardio.
Emulate guys who have done it and stood the test of time. I live almost exactly as Mark outlines here and I'm convinced it's the way.
Welp, I turned 72. I try not to obsess about it. The years just fly by. The hip replacement was the big event for me this year, and I feel like I’m back to 100%. Sprinting (within reason), hard hikes and walking as long as I want without any pain. I'm back playing Ultimate…
There’s nothing wrong with dabbling in a bunch of side quests, but it’s best to eventually pick one thing you really love and go deep. Why? 1) There’s nothing more satisfying than achieving a degree of mastery in something. 2) You’ll find your tribe, which is the best part of…
You need to be side quest maxxing. Get your pilots license. Get scuba certified. Go sky diving. Get your coastal cruising certificate. Become a sommelier. Get every niche / pointless certificate & license you can.
“…that same culture also created a generation of people who are successful on paper and miserable in reality.” Worth a read👇
I spent 6 months in Rwanda. Got back to the US ~1 week ago. And theres this realization about American culture that I can't shake. It's been bouncing around my head all week. Here's what I mean... I've been to 60 ish countries, and I think every country has a “whisper”. A…
One of the most eye-opening conversations I ever had was with a multi-billionaire Wall Street guy. He had summit photos on his office wall so I thought climbing might be common ground for us. Boy was I wrong. Turns out he wasn’t a climber at all—those summit photos were just…
Update: Annie won gold.

UPDATE: Last year my followers donated over $10,000 to support our family friend and climbing prodigy Annie Sanders in traveling to World Cup events in Europe. 🥉I’m happy to report that Annie just won her first World Cup medal in Innsbruck… and she’s still only 16! Annie is…
If you have lower back problems, weak and tight lower ab muscles—especially the psoas—are almost certainly a major factor. Stretching isn’t the answer. This is the best exercise I’ve found. I’ve worked up to 40 lbs and it’s made a huge difference.
BUILD BACK BETTER In my early 20s, I was struck with a devastating chronic illness. At my lowest point, I was nearly bedridden. It took years to recover—a massive setback in life. But there’s a silver lining to overcoming: 1) I don’t take my health for granted. My illness…
