I’m in Stockholm Sweden NOW!

I’m in Stockholm Sweden NOW!

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 10. May, 2010 in Meeting Cool People, The 21 Convention

Aright guys, so remember that “Step Aside or Step Up” post I made a little while ago? Well, I decided to take the “step up” idea one step further, and really put my balls on the line for something I absolutely believe in – The 21 Convention. I did so by deciding last Saturday night in Orlando, that I would fly out to Stockholm IMMEDIATELY and ensure first hand and face to face the complete and total success of The 21 Convention 2010 of Stockholm Sweden.

I found this new flight aggregating site called Mobissimo, and with that I found a super cheap flight to Stockholm on Friday May 7th. It’s now Monday … and hell, here I am in Stockholm Sweden. I look forward to meeting some European TDL readers!

Glad you guys are enjoying The Community Tapes and the special release schedule for TDL followers ONLY. Stay tuned this Sunday for Drew Baye’s outstanding interview.

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Tim the “Right Hand Man”

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Tim the “Right Hand Man”

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 09. May, 2010 in Independent Thinking, Interviews, Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

Tim the “Right Hand Man”: in his own words a “father, son, brother, former husband, and sometimes a lover”. We should probably add to that: mentor, leader, and one of the wisest men interviewed to date for The Community Tapes. Tim aka “Right Hand Man” brings an entirely new twist  to this documentary series with his age, ideas, and experiences that other dating and relationship coaches, simply haven’t had.

Tim was interviewed on the infamous “Wall Street” of downtown Orlando Florida in the Spring of 2010. Find out more about him at his blog, RightHandManifesto.blogspot.com, and see his speech at T21C 2009 here. Tim will also be speaking for his third year at The 21 Convention during our Orlando event this July 22nd-25th.

My comments: Tim just totally crushes it in this interview. By far and large, I believe this one of the most professional interviews out of the entire first volume, and will catch a lot of people by surprise Dj Fuji 2009 style, simply because Tim has an awesome message to send,…

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Steve “El Topo” Mayeda

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Steve “El Topo” Mayeda

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 02. May, 2010 in Independent Thinking, Interviews, Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

Steve “El Topo” Mayeda: the most down to Earth, honest, genuine, no BS lifestyle and dating coach, on the planet – period. Known for his revolutionary “Red Stack” coaching program and unparalleled personal attention, Steve was interviewed for The Community Tapes during the late Fall of 2009 in downtown Orlando Florida.

See Steve’s presentation at The 21 Convention 2009 here. Find out more about him at his website TheRedMole.com, and view further discussion of Episode 2 of The Community Tapes [Volume 1] here.

My Comments: Steve is a real bad ass, and this documentary style interview proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt. While a little long winded at first, I believe this is by far the most raw and powerful interview of the entire series. Really, Steve says things that just knock your socks off – especially about me – and for that, I thank him. He’s actually helped me realize a lot in my life, and I think you see that reflected recently on TDL, and will continue to see such reflection.

To Step Aside or Step Up

To Step Aside or Step Up

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 30. Apr, 2010 in Interviews, The 21 Convention, Wealth

A few weeks ago I came to a crossroad in my life. I haven’t mentioned it anywhere online before, nor have I discussed it with more than a handful of individuals that I have been close with for many years.

That crossroad was a simple, yet extremity difficult decision to make: do I step aside, or step up?

Do I rise above and meet a challenge head on with everything I have, and more? Or do I fall below and succumb to self doubt, fear, and the individual weight of the world that is resting on my shoulders.

I struggled for days with the challenge and difficult decision that lay before me. There really was no easy answer. Each side of the coin had it’s own pro and cons, benefits and consequences, so on and so forth.

…

And then something snapped. I’m not sure at what point it happened, but somewhere along the decision making…

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Dj Fuji

The Community Tapes [Volume 1]: Dj Fuji

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 25. Apr, 2010 in Independent Thinking, Interviews, Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

Dj Fuji … life coach, ex-marine, rising star of The 21 Convention, and former chief instructor for Mehow Inc. – was interviewed for The Community Tapes during the Fall of 2009 in Orlando Florida. Move past the fame and inside the mind of one of the greatest dating and lifestyle coaches of our time, Dj Fuji, with the ground breaking new lens that is Episode 1, Volume 1 of The Community Tapes.

See Dj Fuji’s outrageously popular speech at T21C 2009 by clicking here.

Visit his blog at TaoofDjFuji.com and see him this July at T21C 2010 (USA).

My comments: Dj Fuji is an awesome guy – seriously. I got a great first impression when I met him in July of 2009 at T21C, and my respect only grew after he gave his ~2 hour presentation (that inevitably blew up online). All that was further compounded (and amplified) during this interview, that really helped me get to know the man behind the name. I believe it will help others in the same regard. Enjoy guys, and stay tuned next Sunday afternoon for Episode 2 of…

The Next “Big Thing” Goes Live April 25th

The Next “Big Thing” Goes Live April 25th

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 20. Apr, 2010 in Independent Thinking, Interviews, The 21 Convention

That’s right, it’s finally here, the independently produced documentary series for men, we’ve all been waiting for.

What will begin releasing this Sunday evening (5pm EST) is singlehandedly the most professional series of videos that I or The 21 Convention has ever played a hand in.

If you think the 2009 trailer or past event footage is impressive … you’re in for quite a surprise. What began as a collective documentary has transformed into what we are now calling “The Community Tapes: Volume 1”.

Volume 1 of this documentary series contains the cumulative effort of over half a dozen people during the course of the past ~7 months, represents hundreds of hours of work planning/filming/editing, and quite literally: multiple thousands of dollars of investment.

How does it differ from event footage?

Event footage is more … “educational” shall we say? This documentary series is just that – a documentary series of episodes, much like a TV show you would see a new episode of every week.

The difference there being,…

Central Florida Exercise & Nutrition Seminar Featuring: Bill De Simone, Drew Baye, Doug McGuff MD, & Mark Sisson

Central Florida Exercise & Nutrition Seminar Featuring: Bill De Simone, Drew Baye, Doug McGuff MD, & Mark Sisson

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 15. Apr, 2010 in Exercise, Meeting Cool People, Nutrition, The 21 Convention

Man I’ve been so busy with the convention lately it’s absurd … but in a good way. Anyway, I wanted to take the time to announce the “Central Florida Exercise & Nutrition Seminar”, which is more or less a sub set of The 21 Convention 2010 being held in Orlando Florida July 22nd-25th that I’ve set up for locals*.

*I say ‘locals’ because as awesome as the line up is for this limited access ticket, I don’t expect anyone to fly across the country for four speeches. People are more than welcome to of course, but I find that a bit unrealistic – hence the ‘local’ aspect of the ticket.

So, what is it exactly?

Four of the (in my opinion, and probably the opinions of most readers) top authorities in their respective fields, speaking at a 4 day convention in Orlando,FL – all content pertaining to exercise, nutrition, fitness, health, lifestyle, and any related synonyms one could come up with =).

The 21 Convention, as most of you know, is…

Hot Damn!

Hot Damn!

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 03. Apr, 2010 in The 21 Convention

I need to do a full write up on The21Convention.com for these and the coming release, but hot damn!

I am beyond impressed with what the graphic artist of these was able to do for event DVD covers.

Am I delusional or do these look incredible? (probably a bit of both)

Apologies if these took forever to load but I wanted to include the full size images (click to view), and special thanks to Sean Martin of Fabulist Media for the outstanding work.

Drew Baye on “Health Care”

Drew Baye on “Health Care”

by Anthony 'Dream' Johnson on 26. Mar, 2010 in Exercise, Independent Thinking, Nutrition, The 21 Convention, Wealth

This is a teaser clip from the soon to be released documentary series I and a few others have been working on over the past ~6 months.

We were actually planning on releasing a teaser clip of another speaker we interviewed from The 21 Convention this week, but I last minute decided to have a special teaser clip made of Drew, regarding his thoughts on ‘health care’, due to the events of last Sunday evening in the United States.

I would normally only post this on The21Convention.com, but I found it relevant to TDL due to the recent discussion of similar topics on here (not to mention the never ending debate on food and nutrition).

For the record, Drew’s opinions are entirely his own, and do not necessarily reflect those of any organization he has played a role in past, present, or future. I obviously sympathize personally with…
