Meeting Tucker Max at an “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” Movie Screening

Surprisingly enough, I didn’t even have a chance to finish (I did start) the best selling book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell before seeing the blockbuster movie at a pre-screening in Gainsville Florida- on the eve of my 21st birthday no less.

The end result?

Had a great time, the movie kicked ass, got a bunch of free stuff, and I got to meet and personally invite Tucker Max to T21C 2010.

Experience

It was a short 2 hour drive (maybe less) to Gainsville from Orlando. I rode with my room mate and his friend Jeff. We got there a full 2…

Random Thoughts On “Being the Change I wish to See in the World”

Expected read time: 10 minutes

When I began my last Random Thoughts post, there were 2 remarks I wanted to discuss. I ended up only choosing one at the time since I did not want the post venturing into too many different areas.

The result was great- I got a lot off my chest, and nothing but excellent feedback/insight (which doesn’t inherently mean positive, but this time around it exclusively was).

Today I will discuss not only the other comment from a close friend and mentor, but break a few rules and venture into multiple topics.

In blogging theory this is not a wise idea, but then again I expected my previous post on Strength Training to generate dozens of negative comments- of which, there were virtually none. In fact that post seemed to attract a higher quality and quantity of…

Random Thoughts on an Interesting Paradox: The Price of Free

1.1 million views and counting- how’s that for “social proof”?

Since wrapping up T21C 2009, I’ve spoken on and off with various friends about the event. This is natural of course- it’s a huge aspect of my life and everyone hears about it.

While everyone is supportive, there have been a few comments that have peaked my curiosity into “group thinking” and conventional (usually false, but widely accepted) wisdom.

In this post, I’m going to attempt to string my thoughts together on (one of) these remarks- hopefully into something cohesive, that I believe many will find interesting.

The one we will discuss today comes from a…

Happy Saturday from T21C Speakers

I have a few cool things to share today from the speakers @ The 21 Convention (2009). First up is a comical video from DJ Fuji- arguably the best 2009 speaker and former cheif instructor for Mehow inc. The video is a series of impersonations from Psych- an instructor for Pua Training.

More- and even more hilarious- footage of psych coming (and even some of me!).

This next one is a bit more heart felt from my good friend El Topo @ The Red Mole. No lie, this video struck a chord in me… Thank you Steve for your continued support and sticking with me (and everyone else!).

Finally, this was only supposed to be for those who attended the convention, but after watching the entire…

The 21 Convention Gets Claireified with Contiga Broadcasting!

Hey guys

Man…what an incredible weekend. There is so much to say, I don’t even know where to begin. This convention is literally EXPLODING. It’s hard to wrap my head around it, much less stay on top of in the midst of moving into a new condo.

Never the less, I wanted to come out and say that everything went well, very well. I’ll have to do an official write up next, but in the meantime I wanted to share my first official video interview, of which EL Topo and Hshudo (the world’s best under 21 “pua”) jumped in on. This was filmed the day before the convention in Vintage Ultra Lounge of Downtown Orlando.

There is a TON of stuff popping up around the net. In…

“Follow Your Heart”

The most cliché, corniest line of all. But how far from the truth is it?

This past weekend I traveled to my home town in South West Floirda for a distant cousins wedding. Not having a car, I caught a ride from my big sister who also happens to live in Orlando.

On the way back- a 3+ hour drive- she asked me, “Now that your not in school, what do you do with your time?” (referring to the Summer A semester ending at UCF).

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this type of question- “type” because I don’t believe the question is logical, it’s emotional.

People ask these kinds of questions- most of the time- from my experience, when they are looking for ideas themselves- not because they simply want to know what I do…

The 21 Convention (2009) is Here!- Official Details

The 21 Convention (2009) is Here!- Official Details

I’m sure many of you know- but some of you may not- that I run the world’s largest event for dating and lifestyle advice.

It’s an event I started organizing at 17, and hosted for the first time at 18 in 2007. I gather the world’s top dating instructors/coaches (and others with awesome content to share unrelated to success with women), and have them speak for a few days.

Sounds simple, because it is =).

What makes this event cool?

Well, for one we film it (this third year in HD), and release it absolutely free on the main site, www.The21Convention.com. No fees of any kind (not even email collection), nothin- there isn’t even any advertising.

It’s a pretty radical way to “give back”, but I don’t mind at all- regardless of who…
