  The Lie Has Not Changed. Only the Technology Has.

  May 28, 20267 minS0

  <p>A century ago they sold mechanised farming to rural workers with the same pitch that is being sold to you right now.</p><p>Less work. More money. Everybody wins.</p><p>The workers got mechanised farming. They also got longer hours, job losses, and a decade of retraining for roles that had not existed the year before.

  May 24, 20264 minS0

  May 24, 20268 minS0

  <p>Young men are spending hours a day optimising their jawlines. I am nearly fifty. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with men in their twenties. And I am calling this out — directly, without softening it.</p><p>Looksmaxing is not self-improvement. It is avoidance dressed up as self-improvement. And every night spent on it, a man twice your age is taking the woman you want out for dinner — not because his face is sharper, but because he has actually gone somewhere with his life.</p><p>In this episode of Future Proofed Leader, I get specific about what is actually happening, why...
