At the start of every year, we’re bombarded with the same message: it’s time to fix ourselves. It’s an avalanche of ads for treadmills, exercise bikes, gym memberships, diet plans, and supplements. The corporate marketing strategy is simple: make you feel broken so they can sell you their perfect “solution.”This year, instead of chasing unattainable goals, what if we approached resolutions differently? What if we leaned into the original meaning of the word—to loosen, to simplify? It’s not about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about letting go of what isn’t serving you and creating space for what truly…
Strength can be measured in different ways. We all know about the physical strength that can be measured by what you can pick up and put down. Then there’s the mental strength that comes with being able to carry on and succeed when faced with serious situations.

He has squatted 500 pounds, benched over 315, and deadlifted nearly 600 pounds in competition. He has also been onstage…
Many men skip physical activity due to work or family commitments, lack of interest, age, or injuries or illness. However, it’s essential to remember that doing some physical activity is always better than doing none. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days a week. Also, avoid sitting for long periods. This recommendation applies to both men and women. The mindset of “no pain, no gain” leads many men to think that only intense workouts with overexertion yield results. They push themselves to extremes, believing this is the only way to improve fitness or build strength. However,…
When it comes to skin care, exfoliation often feels like the secret handshake—it seems like all the cool kids know about it, but few explain exactly how to approach the practice, especially as your skin changes with age. As you get older, exfoliation isn’t about chasing elusive “antiaging” promises; it’s about addressing real, tangible changes that mature skin experiences like texture irregularities, dullness, and a slower cell turnover rate.According to dermatologists Rajani Katta, MD, and Alexis Stephens, DO, FAAD, FAOCD, exfoliation can help by gently sweeping away dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath. But—and this is…
In this Flashback Friday episode, I revisit my conversation with Paul Jarvis from 2019, to discuss the release of his bestselling book, Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business.

Some exercises seem too simple to work, and squat jumps are one of those movements. All you do is lower into a bodyweight squat and explode, your feet leaving the ground and then sticking the landing. Nothing to it, right? However, just because it is not complex doesn’t mean it is not effective. Squat jumps trains a critical piece of the strength puzzle: power. Power is Force times Acceleration (P=FxA). Force is a push or pull from the object’s interaction with another object, such as gravity acting on you while dropping into a squat. Acceleration is the rate at which…
