The Philosophical Warrior Series
Steel Stoicism. How Ancient Warriors Teach You to Own MS Pain. Life doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t care about your plans, your dreams, or how much you’ve already been through. It doesn’t slow down because you’re tired, or in pain, or dealing with more than you think you can handle. It just keeps coming,… Continue reading

Re-Wire the Warrior. Daily Micro-Battles That Win the War.
People always wait for the big moment. The miracle cure. The PR-worthy achievement. The six-pack reveal or the triumphant speech where they declare I did it, I beat the odds.But life doesn’t work like that. Not with MS. Not with anything worth a damn. The reality is that most battles are fought in the shadows, not under… Continue reading

The Philosophical Warrior Series
Nietzsche in the Gym. Becoming the Man Who Refuses to Stay Down. Nietzsche didn’t care about comfort. He didn’t write for men chasing soft lives or waiting for easy days. He wrote for those standing in the middle of the storm, for those carrying weight on their backs, for those who refuse to break when… Continue reading

Fighting Fire with Fire. Turning Anger into Fuel.
I’ve always carried anger with me. Long before the diagnosis, before the needles and the scans, before a neurologist ever said you have MS, I was already wired different. Some kids grow up learning patience. Others learn charm. Me? I learned rage. It wasn’t always loud—it wasn’t always fists through walls or shouting matches. Sometimes it… Continue reading

Fight Rounds. Training Like Every Set Is a Battle.
Life doesn’t hit you once and walk away. It comes in waves. It comes in rounds. Short bursts of chaos followed by brief moments to breathe before the next hit comes swinging. Some rounds you dominate. Some rounds you barely survive. But the bell always rings again. Always. Boxing taught me this first. Three minutes… Continue reading

The Weight You Can’t Drop. Carrying Responsibility with MS.
People look at me in the gym and assume the heaviest thing I carry is the barbell. They see the plates stacked, the sweat dripping, the grind of another rep, and think that’s the battle. But the truth? The bar is the easiest weight I’ll lift all day. The real weight never leaves my back. It’s invisible,… Continue reading

Momentum Over Motivation. Building Habits That Outlast Fatigue.
Motivation is bullshit. Yeah, I said it. Everyone loves to talk about being motivated, but let’s be real—motivation is like that one friend who only shows up when things are easy, fun, and exciting. The moment life gets heavy, they vanish. MS makes that truth even harsher. There are days when fatigue doesn’t just tap on… Continue reading

Leading Through the Fire. What MS Taught Me About Leadership.
Let’s get this straight—leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s not about barking orders, putting on a brave face, or pretending everything’s under control when it clearly isn’t. It’s about one thing and one thing only—how you move when everything’s on fire. Before MS, I thought I understood strength. I thought… Continue reading

When Strong Isn’t Loud. Silent Battles. Quiet Wins.
Most people think strength is load. That it’s yelling through the pain, throwing weights, making noise. But those of us in the trenches—those of us living with chronic illness—we know better. Real strength isn’t the roar. It’s the silence after. It’s when the world stops watching and you’re left with nothing but your thoughts, your… Continue reading

The Ring Teaches You Everything. Why Boxing Still Shapes My MS Mindset.
You don’t really know what kind of man you are until the gloves go on and the bell rings. Not when you’re hyped. Not when you’re feeling strong. But when you’re gassed out, cornered, and still getting hit. Before I ever touched a barbell, I stepped into a boxing gym. No AC. No fancy gear.… Continue reading
