The History and Future of Money

Anthony Dream Johnson — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:45:42 +0000

This is a brand new speech on The21Convention.com given by level 3 CFA Gary Korolev. As the title states, it’s about the history and future of money. Gary is highly critical of fiat currency and central banking in the presentation, especially when it comes to the federal reserve of the united States.

For some of you, the concepts presented in this speech will be brand new. For others it will be a review. Regardless, I think everyone will enjoy it in full.

As the founder of The 21 Convention, and as someone who passionately f*cking hates the federal reserve, it’s a very welcomed sight at my own event.

In related news, and as discussed to a degree in the video, Texas Congressman Ron Paul is hours away from WINNING Iowa. For international readers who do not understand what this means: it’s a very, very, very, very good thing.

Relevant to the video, it’s a giant step towards abolishing the federal reserve, as well as legal tender laws (meaning our right to choose our own money is within striking distance).

All New The21Convention.com + Epic Underrated Speech

Anthony Dream Johnson — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:18:00 +0000

The21Convention.com has been modified previously by Jonas Sandstrom, to the version most viewers are familiar with today. The website (link) recently got a massive face lift however by Jakob at JBS Webdesign. I really do mean massive to — it looks like a totally new website, yet remains structurally almost 100% the same.

If it’s not obvious, the new color scheme was largely adapted from MarksDailyApple.com. It’s not an exact replica however, given that the type of content Mark releases is primarily text, and the content released on The21Convention.com is almost exclusively video.

All in all, I am ultra happy with the changes, and I think virtually everyone else will be as well, at the very least because the site is now 100x easier on the eyes.

In related news, plenty of new videos have released on T21C. Per the picture, I found James Marshall’s speech especially awesome. One of the best on male/female relationships, being a man, and lifestyle design in the history of the event. Easily a top contender for #1 video from T21C 2011.

I recommend watching it immediately. Your life will be better for it.

Breaking the 2 Million View Threshold

Anthony Dream Johnson — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:38:20 +0000

As of 12/9/11, 1:18pm EST, the lifetime views for the following outlets are as follows,

The21Convention.com*

922,907

TheDreamLounge.net

314,575

Youtube.com/under21convention07

934,376

Total content views from all three channels,

2, 171, 858

*Does not include traffic from discussion forums, or the previous domain, under21convention.com.

Many of the Youtube views are overlaps from embeds on The21Convention.com, but not nearly as many as some may think, having only used Youtube as the default hosting platform on the website since the early Spring of 2011.

All in all, pretty sweet. And the recipe I currently use to release a video is even more sweet, with long range benefits abound. It combines all three outlets, in ways that are obvious to the viewer as well as not so obvious, plus social media, newsletters, and whatever the individual speakers decide to do for promotion on their end (varies widely).

Of course, this was all possible at a much earlier point in time. I sometimes kick myself for not getting the hang of this sooner. Had I, I would be a very rich man right now, and subsequently, much more of a financial threat to the world. On the flip side, I am confident that I’ve found a distribution and revenue formula that scales really, really well. The real challenge is no longer in video, but in packing out the live events.

You’d think with 2 million views under your belt that would be easy, but alas, that would only be true with a solid history of e-mail collection, as well as a strong understanding of sales.

Keith Norris | Health vs Performance + Auto-Regulation | Full Video Presentation

Anthony Dream Johnson — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:16:34 +0000

This is Keith Norris’s full presentation at T21C 2011 on Health vs. Performance, Auto-Regulation, and Establishing Your Basecamp. At face value I think a lot of people would assume I personally disagree with much of Keith’s basic premises, but in fact, I do not.

There are things I disagree with of course, or in some cases, am ultra cautious about. One example is any form of an explosive movement. Another would be a barbell squat, for any purpose other than competitive lifting, where it is a required movement that you have to repeatedly practice to improve upon.

Come to think of it, and thanks to the work of Bill DeSimone and his Congruent Exercise, I am pretty convinced there is no worse exercise conceivable, that is commonly practiced, than the barbell squat. Out of what is accepted as exercise today, you literally can’t get anymore bio-mechanically antithetical to the human body — despite the “tradition” and popularity of this movement.

On the flip side, I actually find Keith’s discussions (in this presentation as well as elsewhere) really interesting, if not refreshing, specifically his own interests in the nervous system as it relates to exercise, sports, etc. This to me seems like an important topic that does not get it’s fair share of attention — much like Vitamin K2 relative to Vitamin D.

I am also 100% supportive of the term I believe Keith coined — a physical culturalist. This to me sounds pin point accurate for someone like Keith whose interests are not just in exercise or health, but are far wider, encompassing sport performance, recreation, and so on.

This term is actually exactly what we need more people to adopt.

BTW, there is an awesome post on Keith’s blog revealing his recent blood work. Doug McGuff MD’s comment should not be missed either.

Bowflex Killer — World Premiere of the ARX Fit Omni Machine

Anthony Dream Johnson — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:53:15 +0000

It’s finally here, the world premiere of the ARX Fit Omni Machine - also known as the bowflex killer. Come one, come all, see how the world’s most advanced home exercise machine works in action with a live audience, and as supervised/operated by Keith Norris.

Per the video description…

Keith Norris, physical culturalist, author, and general manager at Efficient
Exercise (Austin Texas), gives the world premiere of the ARX Fit Omni
Machine at The 21 Convention 2011 of Orlando, Florida, united States of America.

The ARX Fit Omni © is a revolutionary new home-exercise machine that
employs motorized resistance across a wide range of movements, providing
a perfectly (and uniquely) matched strength curve across a complete — or
limited — range of motion.

Called “the bowflex killer” by 21 Convention architect and founder Anthony
Dream Johnson, the ARX Fit Omni © machine is making waves in the universe of
proper exercise, strength training, and sport performance.

Supplying a level of effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and intensity found in no
other machine in the world, the ARX Fit Omni may just be the machine to put
the nail in the coffin of the outdated and ineffective BowFlex © home exercise
machine.

The First 100K 21 Convention Video

Anthony Dream Johnson — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:08:40 +0000

I just got word that the newly released speech from The 21 Convention 2011 of London England, “Becoming the Gorilla” by Brad Branson, is going to be going out to some big distribution channels. Big big. Meaning, I suspect very strongly that this will be the first 100,000 view 21 Convention video, within 12 months of release. Perhaps even less time.

The video so far has done well. 2,600 views in 5 days. Not bad. But even so, the view rate should be skyrocketing very soon, and from there, going sky high. It should surpass even the great Doug McGuff 21 Convention video, which is scheduled to hit 50,000+ within 12 months of release — which will also soon be ranking #1 on Youtube for “paleo diet” searches.

Awesome? Yes, very awesome.

In any case, Brad’s speech is pretty bad ass. Check it out by clicking the picture. Thumb it up if you want to see it continue to soar.

Cracking the Code to Online Game

Anthony Dream Johnson — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:08:58 +0000

New T21C speech release — Tuesday, Thursdays, and sometimes Wednesdays — on online game for men. Meaning, how to meet women via online dating sites. It’s pretty bad ass, and the speaker is even more bad ass, fresh off of delivering a speech the previous day on tactical self-defense and the ins and outs of picking your first handgun.

Watch the speech here ad free or watch it on Youtube (Bravo Pua) to support T21C by watching ads. You can also download the video or Mp3 version for only a few dollars (check the descriptions at either link). This is awesome if you want to watch it offline or listen to it on your Ipod/Cell phone.

If you want to support the speech in other ways you can “like” it on Youtube and favorite it if it is one of your favorite videos.

~~~

On a personal note, my good friend Liam Banks has had some pretty awesome success in online dating — specifically after watching this speech live and in person in Orlando Florida, taking good notes, and applying it right away.

On an even more personal note, I met my first and current girlfriend via the online dating site Bravo recommends, Plenty of Fish (speaking of which, I would be curious to know what Markus Frind has to say about this). I always thought online dating was kind of a joke/waste of time, but after meeting Bravo in person and seeing what an awesome dude he is, I shut the fuck up and gave it a shot.

Low and behold, the first girl I met on there is IMO the most awesome chick on the planet, and insanely attractive. While this is not typical of online dating on either end of the spectrum, I have to give credit where it’s due — I would not have met my current girlfriend if it were not for Bravo and this speech.

And for that — and this is not something I say lightly or often — I am sincerely grateful.

Now go watch it!
