Where it started
Sigma Chi at San Diego State, then a marketing degree, then six years as a national educator at Bulletproof Nutrition. He has been building men's work for about five years, and he has been in the wider space for two decades.
About
Jordan
Bowditch
Jordan Bowditch runs men's events and an ongoing brotherhood out of Austin, Texas. He is a facilitator and an emcee, and he is unusually direct about the fact that this work is supposed to be enjoyable.
The story
How this
got built
Why it is built this way
Most men's retreats are earnest and dull, or they are fun and shallow. Jordan's position is that depth and enjoyment are not a trade-off, and that a weekend built as though they are will produce neither.
What rebuilt him
In the space of a few weeks he lost his dog, learned his son had Down syndrome, and then held his son for the hour he lived. He does not tell that story for sympathy. He tells it because it is the reason he refuses to run a room that helps men skip past grief rather than go into it.
Home
He is married to Alexa, with whom he runs Sex and Love Co. Biggie James Smalls, the blue-nosed pit bull he got after college, runs through most of the story.
The position
Real deal brotherhood is the one thing that changes everything else.
The life you most want requires the men you don't have yet. This is where you find them.
- Fast
- Strategic deprivation as a lifestyle, not a trend. It restores metabolic and psychological authority.
- Eat
- Food as fuel rather than anaesthesia. Real nourishment, no added sugar.
- HIIT
- Twenty minutes a week, minimum. Train the stress response so pressure stops running you.
- Compete
- One competitive class or sport weekly. Learn to win, lose and recover in front of other men.
