Confronting Internal Struggles and Taming Primal Instincts with Cam MacDougall

Cam MacDougall is a dedicated advocate for personal growth and resilience, driven by his own experiences of lacking a supportive figure during his youth. Emphasizing the importance of embracing difficult situations as opportunities for learning and self-discovery, Cam encourages individuals to build resilience, understand their boundaries, and clarify their values. His mission is to guide men towards becoming mentors for the next generation, helping them break free from societal norms and realize their true potential. By challenging men to confront their inner fears and insecurities, Cam empowers them to evolve and unlock their inner warrior spirit through self-reflection and holistic well-being.

"I know that you're a fucking warrior. And I know that you live in a world that suppresses that shit. And I know how to pull that out of you if you're willing to." - Cam MacDougall

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
