But if you really want to move the needle to start with, it's like what you said, it's sleep, it's training, exercise and nutrition.

Those are the core pillars.

Absolutely.

Because the mind, body, and the spirit are all interconnected.

They don't exist in a vacuum.

And so if we don't take care of some of the mental piece, it impacts everything else.

I can't tell you, I mean, I've got guys coming all the time, incredibly successful, but mentally they're just not in a tough place.

They're dealing with depression, anxiety.

And when you can fix that, when you fix the biology of that, like you get a warrior and then a warrior changes the world.

And so we use a 10 pillar framework, basically looking at pretty much everything, mental health, nutrition, community is big.

And young guys, here's the other alarming thing.

In the 1990s, 3% of men didn't have a friend.

Today, it's 15% of men have no friends whatsoever.

Like, no friends.

And in sort of the 18 to 35 demographic, 25% of those guys said, I have felt lonely pretty much every day since.

25%.

I mean, so 25% are feeling lonely, having anxiety.

That's not okay.

So we are missing a lot of community and men's health.

And it's vital to mental health.
