Hey brother,

Here's the definition of a weirdo.

weirdo

wîr′dō

noun

A strange or eccentric person.

I'm a bit of a weirdo. And if you're reading this email, you're probably a bit weird too.

Why?

Because dudes who read relationship emails and watch videos created by some old dude sitting in a shed on a mountain with dog are...let's be honest...just a little odd.

But that's odd in a really cool way, I think.

I've spent a large part of my life trying to impress myself and others by being what I thought THEY needed to see to think of me as "cool".

Get good grades, excel in sports, work on cars, date a pretty girl and get a high paying job...then you'll be a REAL MAN!

Yeah...no. It didn't work like that.

While I did develop a ton of confidence in what I knew and what I could do, it didn't move the needle of the deeper confidence that would ultimately change my life.

I was only confident in my learned competence. I was only confident in what people could see on the outside.

The hidden truth was, I was scrambling on the inside trying to not let people see another part of me.

It's the part that "men aren't supposed to be".

I liked THINGS a lot. Cars, sports, tools and anything I could hold in my hands.

But my hidden secret was that I had an undeniable curiosity about people, relationships, spirituality and SEX. (yeah, that last one was like kryptonite)

But, you know what's really WEIRD about me?

First, I made the video below to announce to over 50,000 subscribers that I'M WEIRD.

Second, I discovered that I'm also weird because I simply do not give two shits about who watches this video or what they think of me. I have no shame...and neither should you.

And that's the part that makes you and me WEIRD in a really cool way.

Here's me coming out of the "shame closet".

Thanks for being weird with me.

Seriously, thank you.

When I decided to put my face, my voice and my thoughts out into the world 15 years ago, I really didn't know what to expect.

I had no idea I would meet you and a few thousand other guys who quietly lurked around the internet chasing their curiosity about being a better man, better father, better husband and a better lover.

And 15 years later we have around 70,000 men in the tribe proudly flying our "I No Longer Give a F*ck Flag".

This is an amazingly peaceful, relaxing place.

Being emotionally honest takes a bad ass level of courage.

Being vulnerable takes Herculean strength.

And "not giving a f*ck" about what anyone else thinks about you, your values and your priorities is the most liberating thing you will ever do.

It's only from a really healthy, secure place of "not giving a f*ck" where we can show up whole, present and able to connect with others without fear or pretense.

That's exactly what will happen when you get weird enough to join the Goodguys2Greatmen tribe.
