I was asked by three different people if I had participated in either of these programs, and the answer’s yes! DEF Reset is a program run by Jocko Willink and the team at JockoFuel. 75Hard is run by Andy Frisella at 1st Phorm. TL;DR – Though they are similar and the end result might be…
HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2026!!
…but like I tell my sons, it’s just another day in the year, always a good day to get after it! We had a torrential downpour, and my three boys were ready to tear the house apart (cabin fever, except they need an outlet for their energy twice a day). Thanks to Jocko Willink and…
Make JcNuggets Live Again…!
There was silence in the JcNuggets corner of the internet for the space of half a year. (Paraphrasing a verse from the Book of Revelations in the Bible.) But Santa, I can explain… 😉 While I do volunteer work in Africa, homeschool my three boys under the age of 12, and work on various other…
30 Days of a Noob Optimizing a Website
I don’t even know what it is called… All I know is that when I set up Google Search Console for my other website (copytestprove.com) I found out that only a few people visit each page. While my main goal of that page is not to collect email address to sell to potential customers (which…
Meeting Up With Someone Who Gets After It
So I’ll just put it out there: I met up with Jono Hey. It doesn’t mean much to you? Who is Jono Hey? And why should it matter? Probably not much meaning and earth-shaking going on about two individuals meeting up in the basement of a bookstore in central London. I was first intrigued by…

Sit-Rep Sunday: Book Review/Commentary – An African History of Africa
I found this book while listening to a Hardcore History: Addendum (podcast) episode, wherein Dan Carlin (the host) interviews Zeinab Badawi. He wanted to talk about the Kushite kingdom and she had written this book: An African History of Africa. I suppose my interest in this book stems from a conversation I had in 2006….
Sit-Rep Sunday: Twitter Stories
It’s been a long time, but it’s nice to see people still getting after it! Thanks, Jocko, for giving the impetus and the starting point!
Sit-Rep Sunday: Book Review/Commentary – Walking the Americas
I was introduced to Levison Wood by Jocko, when he had him on the Jocko Podcast to talk about his life and his experiences. I was impressed, of course. I love to travel and I can’t tell you why. Reading his book, Walking the Nile, was a little close to home. Though I have never…
Final Thoughts and Takeaways from DEF RESET 2024
