Procrastination isn't laziness. It's usually a signal — misalignment with the task, missing inspiration, or decision fatigue. Beating yourself up doesn't fix it. Clarity does. The Stoics used Memento Mori — "remember you will die" — not as morbid pressure, but as a filter. When you genuinely remember that time is finite, the things that don't matter fall away. The stuff you've been avoiding that does matter becomes urgent. In this session, we break down how to use mortality as a clarity tool: the three-question diagnostic for procrastination, when to push through discomfort vs when to rest, and how to stop wasting your finite hours on things that wouldn't make the list if you had one year left.

In this episode, we dive deep into self-leadership, virtue ethics and how default conditioning quietly shapes your behaviour, even when you “know better.” You’ll learn how presence, autonomy and conviction fit together, and why your character (virtue) is the hidden engine behind all three. We break down the famous Asch line conformity experiment and show how the same social pressure plays out today in your training, work and relationships.

You’ll discover practical, real-world strategies to spot your inherited scripts, push back against unhelpful conformity and act from your own values—not the crowd’s expectations. We’ll walk through simple drills to build courageous presence, genuine autonomy and value-driven conviction so you can lead yourself first, especially when it’s uncomfortable. If you’re serious about developing mental toughness, personal integrity and authentic leadership, this is your roadmap.

Day 5 of the challenge is coming — and it's going to feel harder than the rest. Not because the session is worse, but because of accumulated fatigue. Most people hit that wall and start negotiating. In this session, we break down the Stoic practice of Premeditatio Malorum: mentally rehearsing setbacks before they arrive. When you've already visualised the struggle, it stops being a surprise and becomes the bit you planned for. Decide now how you'll respond. Then execute.

No matter how well you prepare, there will be moments when it's fucking horrible and you'll want to quit. That's not a sign something's wrong — that's the cost of exceptional. In this session, we break down Amor Fati: loving the struggle not for its own sake, but because it's proof you're moving past average. You don't have to live in the suck. But you have to be willing to go there. The tired at the end of a full day? That's not failure. That's evidence you got everything out of it.

You don't control the number on the scale. You don't control whether the promotion lands. You don't control the weather. But you do control how you prepare, how you respond, and whether you keep moving. In this session, we break down the Stoic principle of the Dichotomy of Control and show you how to stop wasting energy on outputs and start stacking the only two things that are actually yours: effort and attitude.

It’s okay to not be where you want to be — especially if you believe in forward progress and higher standards.
What isn’t okay is pretending you don’t know why you’re there.

In this episode, Luke challenges men to drop shame, stop victim stories, and take an honest look at their behaviours, patterns, and decisions. Not to beat themselves up — but to reclaim responsibility and momentum.

This is a clear-eyed debrief on why change stalls, how awareness creates leverage, and what separates men who talk about change from those who actually make it happen.

No excuses.
No drama.
Just clarity — and the next correct action.

Hold the line.

Most men burn out because they try to live in one gear all year.

In this episode, Luke breaks down why slowing down isn’t the same as moving slowly — and how strategic deloads, body intuition, and Stoic discernment create far better results than constant intensity ever will.

Learn the science behind energy cycles, recovery windows, and performance waves, and discover how to choose the right gear over Christmas so you walk into January sharp, rested, and ready to accelerate.

This is about working smarter, not softer — and listening to the signals your body has been giving you all year.

Hold the line.

Most men panic because they believe they should already know everything.
In the final week of the EverWild Stoic Sprint, Luke dismantles that expectation and teaches the true source of composure: confidence in your current capability.
Learn how to think clearly under pressure, act decisively when things go wrong, and embody the Commando mantra — “No cuff too tough.”
This is the skill that makes you unshakeable.

Most men collapse when motivation dips.
EverWild men don’t because they know discipline isn’t perfection; it’s course correction.

In this week’s Stoic Mindset Session, Luke breaks down how mature discipline works:
how to respond to missed sessions without shame, how to stop snowballing setbacks, and how to repair the real problem rather than punishing the symptom.
If you want to act from identity instead of emotion and finally build consistency that lasts — this episode is your blueprint.

Commando Conditioned Fitness Performance Nutritionist Adam and Luke have a relaxed back and forth on what they see is going on with Nutrition and the biggest pitfalls holding people back in todays day and age.
