Living a Kickass Life in Tough Times

Have you had a chance to listen to this episode of The New Man, yet? (Click here to listen)

In this talk, Sarah Ingier and I lay out the reasons why so many of you are struggling right now. There’s a definite dip in our well-being. It may be easy to point to economics, sure, but it’s happening in all areas of peoples’ lives — health, relationships, you name it.

What the hell is going on?

And more importantly — What can YOU do?

My Secret Weapon

So much of The New Man is about helping guys live kickass lives and I’d be full of shit if I didn’t share my secret weapon for doing so — it’s Sarah Ingier.

We’re an unlikely pair — she’s a clairvoyant with a liking for crystals, and I’m a dude who thinks a lot of that “mysterious world” is bullshit.

And yet — Sarah has seriously helped me out. She’s helped me improve every area of my life. And I’m not just talking about the measurable stuff. She’s really helped me learn how to weather “the storm” so much better. In short, she’s taught ME how to have a kickass life when life is kicking my ass.

Quit Making Things So Hard

We all want to live our dreams, to accomplish our goals AND truly, deeply enjoy our life. But many of us give up one for the pursuit of the other.

It doesn’t have to be that way. You can create the life you want with ease and flow. You can create the life you want AND have fun at the same time.

Things have gotten waaaay out of balance, so let’s cut the crap. Let’s take a look at the equation and rewrite it. Let’s have the guts to orient our lives around what invigorates us, what feeds us. Let’s stop trying to create out of fear and scarcity. It’s bullshit.

Join Me and My Secret Weapon AND Get Some Help

Sarah and I want to help you experience more ease, flow and fun in your life WHILE going for what you really want.

On Saturday, June 19th (from 10-5) Sarah and I will be having a fun, one day workshop here in Boulder, Colorado to help you do just that.

The contribution for the day is only $100. Seats are limited and Sarah’s already sold a bunch.

Contact me by clicking here and I’ll help you line it up.

I look forward to seeing you there!
