How to Supercharge 2011

Step 1: Sign Up for T21C 2011

The 21 Convention is indisputably, the #1 men’s convention in the world. Every young man living with the will to improve his quality of life, and the integrity to follow through with new knowledge that runs contrary to popular opinion, should be in attendance.

Like 2010, 2011 is a dual location, multi-national event, being held back to back in London, England and Orlando, Florida.

Each event is a full four days in length. The speakers will be the greatest men I can find. The attendees will be men who recognize greatness, and have an inflexible demand for truth.

Tickets can be found here.

Prices are currently over 50% off with discount code “newyears” (for Orlando) and “newyears2″ (for London). Those “end” December 29th, but due to the late posting time of this blog, I will enable them to last through December 30th, 11:59PM EST.

Step 2: Sign Up for One on One Training With Me

Come January 5th, I am going to have…

Why I Host Cayo Costa

For four years in a row I have hosted The 21 Convention. Many have helped along the way, but no one has been the spear head aside from myself.

I have bared the weight of my own creation – and carried it on my own terms every step of the way.

Similarly, I have hosted a camping trip to Cayo Costa for four years in a row – but I was not always the spear head of it.

My former best friend Curtis Noll was the first year, 2007.

He died shortly before the second trip was to be held. The last question I ever asked him was whether or not he wished to continue it – he did.

And I have.

But, it is one act to carry on a camping trip an additional year in the memory of a friend’s last wish – it is entirely another to continue it multiple years beyond that.

This fourth trip I thought long and hard about why I continue, since…

Speed, Strength, Nutcrackers, and the Overhead Press

 
I haven’t performed an overhead press in some time. Bill gets at why in this video, then cracks a walnut. Sounds funny, but not surprisingly, it’s a crystal clear explanation.

Integrity

 
I’ve read we often recognize in others what we see within our own self — our own soul.

I find that too simplistic. I would argue that great men recognize the best in others, and in the process, honor the best within themselves.

In Dejan’s case, it’s integrity.

The ability and will to adhere to an idea, absolutely and completely.

While in an extended state of decline, men of integrity still exist in the world. So long as these men exist, hope exists, no matter how dire the circumstances, or impossible the obstacles seem.

An Age of Video

If it’s not apparent by the heavy video emphasis of The 21 Convention, I’m pretty convinced video is only going to become more prevalent as a medium of communication, as time goes on.

With that said, compare the following three videos.

#1: The 21 Convention 2010 DVD Series

#2: The Four Hour Body Trailer

#3: The New Evolution Diet Trailer
 


 

 

 

Tim’s is excellent, and something the videographer for T21C has considered implementing for some time. My only criticism is the 3D model of his book. It looks a bit off compared to the rest of the video.

I like Art’s trailer a lot as well. Implementing that into T21C would be a bit more difficult, but not impossible. One idea would be to go back to a documentary format like The Community Tapes, and use that story telling style for a full length episode.

The 2010 DVD series video is meant to be a…

Impressive 15 Year Old

 
Supposedly this young man is 15 years of age. Regardless of whether that’s true or not, this video of him is impressive. That said, the word “solidarity” makes me cringe a bit.

Speaking of videos, there are some more T21C 2010 previews uploaded here.
