Over the years, I’ve come across books, articles, podcasts, and tools that have challenged my thinking, lifted me up, and helped me move forward. This page is a curated list of those resources — the ones I’ve personally found useful, inspiring, or game-changing on my own journey. Whether you’re looking for practical guidance, fresh perspectives, or just a spark of motivation, you’ll find it here.
Why His Words Stand Out to Me
I'm drawn to this video because it centers on the simple yet powerful idea of sharpening your axe—taking time to pause, reflect, and renew—rather than endlessly pushing forward. That metaphor of focusing on long-term growth over short-term output deeply resonates with the mindset we’ve been cultivating together. It’s a reminder that sustainably achieving our goals isn’t just about doing more—it’s about preparing ourselves to do better.
Beyond that, the video also emphasises the importance of empathy and collective strength. It underscores that leadership isn’t measured by toughness or intellect alone, but by the ability to help the person beside you, to lift each other up when you’re depleted. This theme reflects the compassionate, purpose-driven approach we’ve discussed—it’s not about going it alone, but about growing together.
This is the video that first introduced me to Stuart Ross and the Launch You Training & Community
It completely changed my perspective. Watching it gave me an adrenaline rush and made me seriously consider starting something of my own, moving away from the traditional 9–5 grind.
After watching the FREE video, I signed up for the $37 (£27) workshop video, which shows how ordinary people with little to no experience are building their own ventures and earning impressive income.
More importantly, it made me realise that I could achieve the Time and Financial freedom I’ve always wanted — not just for me, but for my family too.
That was nine months ago. WOW. I never imagined I’d be where I am now: not only living my own lifestyle on my terms, but also helping other men in the same position. All with the help of Stuart and the launch You team.
For the price of a takeaway or a few drinks at the pub, it’s absolutely worth giving it a go!
Why This Video Hits Home for So Many Men
The Man Down 2024 Campaign Film is incredibly powerful—you can feel its emotional weight right away. It touches on a truth many men know all too well: being physically present but emotionally distant from loved ones, while struggling to speak up when it matters most.
This campaign doesn't rely on loud dramatics. Instead, it portrays a painful and often invisible reality—emotional absence in the midst of physical proximity. That silent disconnect between “being there” and truly being there is something many men can relate to.
There's a familiar ache in realising that the time to speak up and be vulnerable may have passed—or might soon slip away. This video taps into that poignant tension: the regret of unsaid truths, the longing for connection, and the fear of words that never found their moment.
In essence: this video captures a painful, familiar truth—being there without truly being there, and the risk of missing the moment to speak from the heart. That unspoken, emotional weight is what makes it resonate so deeply with men navigating relationships, regret, or untouched conversations.
