Men's Lifestyle
Ear Hero
If we were to look at what defeats most people in life we would see that it’s their inability to manage their own moods. Feeling like doing what needs to get done next can be next to impossible for most of us. For this reason I use music for everything that I do. Writing, running, […]
OtterBox iPad Latch
In an asymmetrical environment, battlefield or boardroom, information is power. Our survival depends on our ability to retain it, evolve it, distribute and teach it.

The application that I used to do this, […]

Super Human?

Useable Waterproof iPhone Case: Yes It Does Exist
My friend and former SEAL teammate, Eric, turned me onto to the LIFEPROOF iPhone case. Eric said, “this case lets me take my iPhone surfing with the kids”, and I just shot him a sideways look and said, “Seriously?”. He ended up offering up his phone to me poolside (at his house) but, like most […]
