Here in the States over the last while there's been a movement called "No Kings."
I don't want to get into politics or talk about Trump this or Trump that, or whether or not I support him.
I just think, as a statement, “No Kings” is wrong because active, strong, integrated men are what America and the world at large actually need.
Because right now it feels like we're at an inflection point.
Maximum opportunity paired with maximum chaos at breakneck speed.
On one hand, the tools and leverage available to a single capable man are unprecedented.
On the other...
We're living inside the largest distraction machine in human history.
Social media.
24/7 news.
Notifications.
Email.
Podcasts.
Politics.
Endless noise.
Almost as if the world is actively trying to bury your potential in a daily blizzard of inputs and turn you into a mindless consumer instead of a creator.
But what I'm hearing from my clients, my friends, and in the locker room at the gym isn't just frustration.
It's a line in the sand.
Men deciding they don't want to join the masses sleepwalking into becoming the Mainstream Man.
The one who's:
Distracted.
Overweight.
Depressed.
Divorced.
Disconnected.
Burned out.
Wining the battle of business while losing the war of life and somehow being applauded for it
Something in men, and in the world at large, is waking up.
A recognition that this path isn't it.
That more money without order isn't power.
More output without alignment isn't success.
More status without integrity isn't strength.
What I'm sensing is a resurgence.
Not of tyrants. Not of bullies. Not of loud, ego-driven caricatures of masculinity.
But of Kings.
And I use that word intentionally.
Not kings who dominate.
Kings who integrate.
Men who:
Bring order to chaos.
Create stability in their homes and companies.
Produce and provide without losing their soul.
Use power to serve.
Hold clear values and defend them.
Inspire through example.
Take responsibility for every arena of their life.
Build beauty, depth, intimacy, legacy.
That kind of King.
And that kind of man doesn't happen by accident.
He's built by design.
Through structure. Through rhythm. Through an operating system strong enough to support the weight he carries.
That's why I rebuilt TotalMan OS.
Version 3.0 is designed for:
Extreme opportunity.
Extreme distraction.
And the season of Kingship you're stepping into.
I'm teaching it live for the first time.
An opportunity to lay out the system end-to-end and pressure test it with you.
This round will be free. Future versions won't be.
And I'm not planning to make the recording available -- so if you want the goods, you've got to show up live.
We go live Monday at 4 PM PST.
I'd love to have you in the room.
Big love,
James
P.S. As a quick aside, if you would like to do some reading on mature masculinity and what it means to be a Good King, I recommend reading the book King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette.
