No one can save you from living a boring life...

The trap men fall into once they hit their late 20's.

A few weeks ago, I had a viral tweet where I described a pattern I have seen not only within my friendship groups, but also with clients and successful guys that I am regularly chatting to.

And the patterns I see that emerge are always the same, it’s even a theme that I started to see in my life.

I was spending less time with the boys, not going out of our way to organise trips & the adventures we went on when we were all broke.

We have more money than ever, but we have replaced an interesting life with one of predictability.

We stopped trying new things, learning new skills, because there’s no clear ROI like there is in business.

The more I work on my business, in theory the better the profit margins and in turn the money money the business makes.

So our lives get reduced to:

• Going to the gym to do some cookie cutter program.

• Spending less time with the male friendships we cultivated, and more time with the woman in our lives.

• Focus solely on our career and business success as the only marker of winning.

Now by no means is this article saying avoid learning skills that allow you to make more money, neglect your intimate relationships or families…

But if there are some of you reading this who feel as if their lives have become a grind, become boring & monotonous

That is entirely your fault.

A Boring Life is yours to fix

The dangerous thing about the boring life is that it’s not an overnight change.

It’s death by a thousand cuts.

And going into my 30’s I see this happen across the board.

If you have an ambitious circle of friends, they are all working around the clock, so it becomes harder to catch up.

Guys are starting to get married and have kids (me included), which adds further difficulty of organising interesting things to do.

And it’s a time period where it’s no longer “cute” to be the ambitious man with nothing to show for, which puts more pressure on you to be doing well in your business or career.

So the combination of all of these different things leads to the life I described in the tweet above.

So what can you do then?

The easiest antidote to this, is by looking at your life in 12 week peaks.

You can either align this with a business quarter or the seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring) - which align perfectly with that same 12 week cycle.

Every single 12 week cycle, you need to book a new experience, side quest or something that simply disrupts & breaks the routine an monotony of your current life structure.

This has to be held as sacredly as your business meeting or career obligations.

And it has to be booked in with your mates.

You’re going to have hundreds of opportunities to do things with your kids, your future wife or girlfriend (especially if you live together).

So use this opportunity to make sure you don’t sever you connection with your boys.

This doesn’t even need to be an elaborate trip overseas or anything expensive.

• Hiking / Mountaineering

• Camping

• Fishing

All of these things don’t break the bank and can be done relatively locally depending on where you live.

The point is to break up the repetitive nature of your current routine and to integrate these trips in once a quarter.

This is exactly what we did on the first lethal camp expedition of 2026.

Which was a multi day hiking trip in the high country (day 1 was fucking miserably and was 10 straight miles through this terrain):

But like many things in life, when everything clears up, we had some of the most breath taking views of the high country at the start of snow season & it was great was to reset the circadian rhythm and rough things out for a few days to appreciate coming back to home to a king size bed.

In Lethal Gentleman style we wrapped up the trip at Victor Churchill with some W9 Wagyu ribeye & watched Justin Gaethje cause one of the biggest upsets in UFC history (to the chargrin of the wait staff).

There is 0 excuse not to fit just ONE of these experiences in per quarter, it allows you plenty of time to grind (I appreciate progressive in life requires work, I’m not advocating being a digital nomad that is constantly travelling).

The last thing we want to do is sever the connections we have, particularly with our male friends, as there’s only certain things you can do with your boys (not many girlfriends or wives would want to put themselves through a 40lb ruck in 10 degree Farenheit weather).

Remember, it is entirely your responsibility to live an interesting life, and if your current circumstance is boring that’s entirely your fault.

You don’t need to be a millionaire to break the cycle of monotony, romanticise your life a bit, side quest & make sure you don’t look back 30 years from now and have no interesting stories to tell because all you did was work on making money and going to the gym doing a cookie cutter push, pull legs split.

Until next time,
