“The first step to shedding this mask is, in a way, just embracing that fact. Just give yourself enough gut-check moments about the kind of behavior you see around you. It isn’t enough to see it; you’ve got to see it and then have a reaction that’s more critical than complimentary.” - Lewis Howes Honestly,... Continue Reading →
Season 1: Lewis Howes’ Masks of Masculinity: Alpha Mask – Continued
This is the beginning of the season (but soon to be the end of this book). Season 1 will be a quickie, since I've already finished 95% of this book. However, expect this to happen from here on out. Each season will be a new book and I will mark the episodes, too! “I was... Continue Reading →
Lewis Howes: Joker Mask – Part II
“Like many people, I want to avoid being the dark cloud in other people’s lives, so I pretend things are sunny, even when they are obviously not. So I keep things light, or at surface level. I want to talk about other people. I want to focus on other people’s challenges because focusing on my... Continue Reading →
Aggressive Mask: Part IV – What Can We Do Right Now?
“In the middle of my conversation with Ray Lewis, I asked him about his definition of a man and whether it had evolved as he got older, had kids, became successful, and ultimately retired.

Lewis Howes: Aggressive Mask – Introduction
Imagine the moments before a fight. One of the biggest fights that I've ever watched had to be Tito Trinidad vs. Ricardo Mayorga.

Sexual Mask: Part IV – What Can You Do Now?
Lewis Howes talked in his book about being raped when he was 5 years old. There was another instance when he was on the football team where at 3:30 in the morning, he woke up to find his pants half-way down and a girl trying to have sex with him. Through the eyes of most... Continue Reading →
Lewis Howes: Sexual Mask – Part III
In recent months I came across a person named "Zern." Zern caught me off completely with her amount of spoken English fluency. The first time we met was a spaghetti dinner at my condominium and it was a remarkable time. A terrible movie, but a good time. To be honest, I thought that would be... Continue Reading →
The Sexual Mask: Part II
Chris Lee, a brilliant transformational coach, said this in Lewis Howes podcast: "Every boy in America learns by the time they’re in junior high school to associate masculinity with issues of sexual conquest. What’s it mean to be a man? It means you can bring some young girl alongside of yourself and then use her.... Continue Reading →
Lewis Howes: Material Mask: Part IV – What Can You Do Now?
When Lewis Howes sat down with Tony Robbins on a few instance, I still remember the story Tony told. I know this story from the back of my mind, and shockingly enough, Sir John Templeton (who I gave a bad rap on his Tedx for because his on-stage presence and attire - lol!) told him...
