When I was broke in 2021, I made the best decision I ever made
And it led me to a life of impact, freedom, and fulfillment
So let’s travel back to that day, Nov 8th, 2021 and examine what happened
I’m not happy about this.. but at the time
I was so BROKE I was regularly stealing food from the grocery store to eat
I did it so often I had developed a strategy for getting 100’s of dollars of food through the self checkout line
Wasn’t hard btw. When times are tough you tend to get creative.
But I hated myself for it.
I dreamed about having a future wife I could provide for, making an impact in others’ lives, and becoming the man I’m suppose to be.
But how was I suppose to do that while making $1800/mo as a group fitness instructor?
I couldn’t. My rent was $1300.
I had to put gas in my car to drive for DoorDash and steal food from the grocery store to get by.
I was DEPRESSED. Not the pussified liberal depressed either…
I legit was getting close to jumping off my balcony at my 6-story apartment
On November 8th 2021, after robbing the grocery store for the 100th time
As I sat there on my bed, wondering why my life was even worth living
I realized I had no money, no dates that weren’t tinder matches, no life outside of working and being broke, and no real path to get me out of it…
And then something struck me like a fucking lightning bolt. A realization that I still stand by to this day.
It was simple:
My life isn’t about me. It’s about the ones I care about.
I have 5 brothers.
What if I stopped being a self-absorbed broke bitch and started making moves in an effort to one day help my siblings reach success?
If I can’t figure this out..
How can I help my siblings when they run into the same challenges?
Suddenly, the situation I was in seemed smaller.
I finally felt for the first time like I not only COULD do something about it
It was my fucking DUTY to get out of this.
So I got on the internet looking for solutions.
First place I looked? Twitter.
I know, you wouldn’t expect Twitter would be where I’d find my answer, but there’s a reason for that.
I had been following this “kid” @Lukealexxander and he seemed to know something.
All his posts were talking about this thing called “High Ticket Closing”
Apparently, this 21 year old kid had made it out of poverty in Ohio and moved to Miami by doing this
I was intrigued by the story.
He reminded me of me when I was kid who had no electricity, food, or running water.
When I was showering by stealing the neighbors hose water to rinse off.
So I kept reading. Luke had started a company teaching people how to get into the space called Closer Cartel.
I knew nothing about the industry. I just knew two things:
1. It involved sales on your laptop
2. I was good at sales when I was selling gym memberships.. so maybe I could be good at this?
So I clicked the button for closer cartel and opted in.
Luke called me directly.
We talked about life being broke, growing up without a dad, having a younger brother, wanting to provide for our mom… the whole works.
Then Luke told me the price.
I kid you not.. when I heard the program cost $4k I about shit myself.
FUCK. Another potential path out of reach bc I’m fucking broke.
But then.. i remembered
I wasn’t doing this for me. I was doing it for my brothers.
So I kept pushing.
I found a loan that would cover it.
The fact they accepted me for a loan when I probably had <$100 is insane
But they did.
I joined closer cartel the NEXT DAY on November 9th, 2021.
Luke was kind enough to add on Closify (a $500 upsell) for free which placed sales reps in front of businesses looking to hire.
I got my first high ticket sales job as a setter 2 weeks into the program.
Now let’s fast forward 3 years.
I am now the closer manager for @SartainPodcast and I’m making top 1% income for my age bracket.
Being friends with attractive women is the ultimate life hack. They bring:
- more fun
- introductions to quality male friends
- perspective on what women actually want
- introductions to quality dating opportunities
- access to exclusive social environments you never knew about
- status amongst the elite men of the world

I am now the closer manager for @SartainPodcast and I’m making top 1% income for my age bracket.
I am currently learning marketing with plans to become an owner and take over operations here at Men of Action.
I have helped thousands of men achieve their goals through my role as a high ticket closer and closer manager.
I have showed my siblings how to close and they now are interested in the space as well.
I have a beautiful girlfriend who loves me deeply
I travel the world without a worry of financial struggle
I can afford everything I want in life and have more than enough to give back.
I provide groceries for a family of 7 with a single mom
And I do it all from the comfort of my laptop.
I’m not telling you this to brag. I want you to know:
Don’t give up. You can do this.
Find the right vehicle, and don’t leave until you figure it out.
Cheers to more life 🥂
Young men should not fear failure,
It’s a feminized mentality to be afraid of failing
You’re not a girl suffering trauma
You’re a man, you must build yourself through the process of addressing your deficiencies
One of the insidious ways young men get long housed by public education is they are trained to think like women
Too much emphasis placed on emotions and feelings for decision-making, and not rationality and discipline
Their mental calibration is all screwed up
I asked ChatGPT the following.
Imagine a modern poltical party.
Imagine that all you know about it is the following:
It champions rights for state sponsored schools over the rights of the parents on behalf of their own children.
It promotes equality of outcome over a level playing field.
It is concerned that unfeterred speech is a threat to the safety of the population.
It supports candidates chosen by party leaders rather than the people via primary elections.
It celebrates choices for irreversable self-sterilization via reproductive surgical mutilation within the K-12 curriculum.
It does not want people to have to show ID to vote.
Q: To which political parties is this unspecified party most similar worldwide and throughout history?
That moment with Max Holloway last night telling Justin to stand firm and go toe to toe with him in the last 10 seconds is my favorite moment ive ever seen in sports history
For real. I didn’t realize this is what made me a good closer until I became a manager. Now, I tell all my closers:
“Don’t be afraid to burn a bridge in an attempt to get someone to take action for their own good.”
I also tell them “They don’t need to like you. They need to respect you.”
I’ve noticed when I give them permission to burn bridges they are WAY more aggressive with challenging prospects limiting beliefs and going for it despite getting objections.
Biggest issues I’ve seen from closers in this space is the inability to go toe to toe with the prospects and push them for the sale or at the very least a deposit
