This is MASSIVE 🚀. Yesterday was one of the biggest and most important days in my life! I was the honored guest on Hutt City FM’s “The Business Hour” hosted by Robbie Schneider all the way over in New Zealand! Our episode ran for 1 hour.

Not only is this my first international press exposure, but it was on terrestrial FM Radio on top of that!

Unlike my previous public speaking appearances, this wasn’t just a podcast for high functioning people, but rather a business and entrepreneurship FM Radio show for heavy hitters. It was truly an honor to be recognized as a person of value at that level.

Robbie is a very important part of the billionaire JT Foxx’s network. He is an absolute gentleman and a great man, so we became friends immediately. He publicly praised my book on his radio show and I’m very honored to call him a friend. 

We aired live yesterday, but I have the session recorded and will get the link online soon so everyone can listen to it. It’s not something to miss, it will show you exactly what the future holds.

I am beyond grateful that I followed my soul’s calling because everything I have ever wanted in life is unfolding for me in real time. I had an incredibly large non linear quantum leap in 2025 and its leading into the most massive season of my life that will be coming in 2026 💫

✨ Grateful to be featured in Bold Journey magazine. A milestone moment for me, my first press piece 🔥🚀

Come a little closer 🎶, it’s story time. I’ve hidden a lot about myself for a long time, but I’m finally sharing my story. It’s time for world to get to know me… who I am and where I’m going 🧘🏻‍♂️

In this feature we talked about purpose, resilience, and the fire that drives everything I do, from my book Be the Fireholder to my films and ventures.

This isn’t just my story. It’s a reminder that your purpose is already inside you, waiting for the moment you choose to ignite it.

@jtfoxxofficial Mega Success 2025.
Wild to think I used to fly across the country for this. This year, I did not have to.

For the last five years, my top goal was simple.
Become someone who could add value to a room of 1,400 of the wealthiest and most successful people from over 76 countries.
This year that goal finally happened.

A-List speakers this year included (swipe for the vids):
• Many billionaires
• Hugh Hilton
• Kris Jenner (watch the video, the painting moment by @garibaldiarts is unreal)
• Charlie Sheen
• Mario Lopez (Jiu Jitsu purple belt 🔥)
• The founder of the first online casino and creator of the affiliate marketing system
• The “JT Foxx” of Dubai
• David Grutman (The owner of LIV)
• Kramer from Seinfeld
• And many more

Five years ago I flew to West Palm Beach looking for investors for my movies.
This year, I was there as an author and life/success coach, and it exceeded every expectation.
This year I brought value instead of asking for it.
More than 20 people left with copies of my book.
Everyone was impressed that my book beat Joe Foster’s book for the #1 spot (The founder of Reebok and one of JT’s big speakers).

Several of JT’s business partners and inner circle not only loved the book but wrote incredible reviews.
And today, as this posts, I am the guest on a New Zealand business FM radio show as a result of it.

Getting on stage at Mega costs 15K for three minutes.
It has been a dream of mine for years.

Next year I am getting up there to present my coaching company.
Everything I am doing right now is in preparation for that moment.

Next year is about execution.
It is happening. 🤘🏼

Watch the videos in this carousel.
The energy in that room is unmatched. It is the only place I have ever felt truly among peers.

The next post about Mega is very special. It highlights one specific friend. 🚀

This is one of the coolest moments of my life. My book… a dream for 18 years and now? A dream made reality. These are the first two signed copies of my book Be the Fireholder. This is also the first photo of me with my book, ever.

They’re now in the hands of two men I deeply respect: Professor @jeanjacquesmachado and my brother @marcelartstudio , both of whom have profoundly shaped who I’ve become.

My two proudest accomplishments, earning my purple belt under Professor, and completing this book, are both direct results of my life, and the healthy mental/emotional state from my time at JJM.

This book would not exist had I not become the man I am today, and a massive part of that evolution has been forged on these mats over the last seven years, surrounded by my Jiu Jitsu brothers and the hard lessons we’ve lived together through round after round.

My last photo with Professor JJ was from when I earned my purple belt ➡️. Today, that belt is more worn & now my book is in his hands. I thanked him for creating such a healthy, powerful environment for me to grow into the man I needed to be.

And this is my first photo with my brother Marcel, who has had my back and has encouraged me since day 1 through all of my ups and downs.

This book would not have been possible without their presence and influence, which is why I wanted them to be the first to receive it in person. 

Today @thejoejitsu said something awesome to me, “Welcome home,” not “Welcome back.” My soul immediately resonated on his choice of words, because yes, this academy is my home. I picked up on “home” instantly.

I will live and die a warrior on these mats. 🙏🏼🔥⚔️

🔥 Something really big is coming… 4 years in the making, and a dream for 18, and it’s not movie related.

🚀 Some of you already know what’s happening in my life right now… and yeah, it’s exciting as hell.

🎬 Had an amazing night at my favorite studio, Warner Bros, for the red carpet premiere of ESX’s latest film Day of Reckoning.

🍿 It’s a badass movie. Be sure to watch it.

⚔️ The coin around my neck is an ancient Greek relic, minted in approx 233 BC, bearing the image of Alexander the Great. It reminds me daily that it’s possible to live a life so bold, so purposeful, that your name echoes for thousands of years.

You’re watching a man step into his destiny in real time.

Today I announce my first book, “Be the Fireholder.” 

My book is essentially: “How to step into your highest power by being your most authentic self unapologetically, so you can actualize your goals and dreams in record time.”

It’s about holding the flame of legacy in your hands and building something that outlasts you — with strength, vision, and character.

You’ll learn while reading it that when I was lying on the ground bleeding out, dying with half of my face shattered completely alone at 2 am one night, I made a deal with the universe that if I survived I would live my life in service to the world.

So for the last 16 years I’ve been building toward that future — and now I’m finally stepping into that role. I’m a man of my word and I always keep my promises. 

Thank you all for joining me on this journey. Presale post coming next week — and we’re only just getting started. 💫

And for my colleagues, don’t worry, I’m still going full force on getting our movies made. You know me… I’m just building a few empires at once as part of a greater vision.

🚀 Reply below and I’ll send you the details 🚀

What the fk 😂
I double in size every time you see me.

4-month update. Last one from September is linked for comparison.

One month into my growth phase. Muscle memory is undefeated even at 40.

The stretch marks are old. This is just a man reclaiming what’s his.

Hit 200 lb barbell rows this day and loved every rep 🔥

More coming.

🚀 I’m blasting off into outer space and I’m never coming back down.
This announcement will shock everyone… guaranteed.

After two decades in Film & Television, I’ve stepped away from Hollywood to pursue my life’s true purpose.

Since I was a kid, I knew I was here to create impact, to elevate others, and leave the world better than I found it.

Today, I officially announce my next chapter & website:

⚡️ Empire Within ⚡️
My newest company. My movement.
Not just books — a full ecosystem of coaching, courses, and community.
🔥 My first digital course — based on Be the Fireholder — launches under Empire Within Academy
🔥 A premium subscription platform and high-level coaching experience
🔥 A legacy brand to help people lead, heal, and live with purpose

No, I haven’t fully left Hollywood — my investors are raising funds for my original IPs so that’s still on.

But with AI, the industry is shifting fast. So I shifted faster.
I don’t believe Hollywood will survive in its current form over the next decade.
So I chose to build myself, to raise my value, voice, and global reach.
And I’m not alone.

I’ve brought in two 7-figure mentors, one for brand architecture, the other for book publishing growth & press.

With their help, I’m stepping into this arena at full power - Day 1 with the heavyweights.

This isn’t a rebrand.
It’s a re-emergence.

And no… I’m never coming back down.

To think that this was all once just a dream. Reflecting on the amazing television and film red carpet events I’ve experienced in Hollywood over the years, while stepping into an even more exciting chapter that is unfolding right now.

The future is so bright. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey and for all of your support. There is so much more coming. Things that are absolutely extraordinary that I can’t wait to share. Stay tuned 💫

2025 was the year I became my most powerful self. I was already mature, but with a ton of effort, I grew even more. 44 therapy sessions, some with EMDR, lots of inner work & even shadow work (the acceptance of my fire).

After disappointment/heartbreak, I cancelled my dating apps, turned down every date for months, and went inward. I rediscovered myself, finished my book, figured out exactly what I want out of life, stepped into my Purpose, hopped on TRT and reminded myself who the fuck I am.

Not only did I finish my book, originally titled “Don’t Play Small,” but after spending a lot of time in my inner world, I came to accept the fire inside of me, hence the rebrand to “Be the Fireholder” and why my book literally opens up quoting myself of a realization I had late one night: “There is a fire inside me that cannot be extinguished.”

I am intense, but in a tranquil, emotionally intelligent, and safe way. It’s an intensity that allowed me to save my own life when I was bleeding out alone with a shattered face, and is the same intensity that allows me to grow and excel in a non linear way. 

At some point I overcorrected & neutered my edge, but it was through writing my book & this past year of growth I realized who and what I am: I’m undeniable. And now I’m fully back to myself and even more cool, calm, and collected than ever before.

My fire has always been my superpower.
In 2025, I fully learned my worth.
In 2026, I live it without compromise. 🔥

📕 HUGE news. My book exploded on Kindle & hit #1 🏆. It actually stealth launched some time ago and only recently did I let people publicly know it was out :)

I passed Reebok’s founder, Joe Foster, for the top spot.

I beat a global, legendary business icon.

Let that sink in.

This is one of the biggest moments of my life, and you get to be a part of it.

Hustle until the people you look up to become your competitors. Then beat them ⚔️

I saw him speak on stage in NYC at the last 1% conference I attended. (WATCH THE VIDEO ➡️➡️)

I met him. We’re even friends on Facebook.

And now, my debut book ranked higher than his.

Cosmic poetry. Synchronicity. A destiny written in the stars. ✨

There couldn’t have been a more epic way for me to hit #1 than this.

I am living proof of what happens when you’re in alignment with the world around you.

Everything I do is like this.

That’s why you should read the wisdom I’ve poured into this book.

I’m going to change so many lives. Let me help you too.

My entire life, I was written off. Overlooked. Underestimated.

I watched others get handed the things I bled for.

But I’m done waiting to be seen.

I’m coming for everything I earned but never received.

All the closed doors. All the silent rooms.

Every time I was counted out…

I’m taking it all back with my own hands.

This isn’t hype. This is the start of a legacy.

I’m going to show the world what happens when the fire inside you refuses to die.

The greatest of all time isn’t handed that title. He earns it.

After I hit #1 in my niche business category (The one with Joe), I immediately moved my book into the category with Hormozi, Ryan Holliday, Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty etc. Put me in coach.

I am the ultimate underdog story. And I’m just getting started.

Keep watching.

🔥 Be the Fireholder… now a #1 bestseller.
