Hey, my name’s Josh. I help men who’ve had enough of the never-ending uphill grind — the constant fear, pressure, stress, overthinking, avoidance and nothing ever being enough — switch to building from calm, clarity & flow.

This all came about because I spent over a decade looking for metas. I studied the best of the best on planet earth in their respective fields to help with the goal of unlocking my full potential.

This caused me to experiment with a metric fuck ton of various approaches and techniques, ways of life, etc. — and ultimately caused me to look in places that no one else was looking, to discover what few others have ever found.

In 2024, deeply attached to my performance, what I was getting done and measuring every little thing as a measurement of my worth, my default felt like an uphill fight with life, making things really hard that didn’t need to be and grinding myself to dust. Because at some level, that’s what I believed was needed to perform and create.

Eventually, I hit a point where I became so sick and tired of how insufferable this felt, that I completely risked my performance and ability to create by exploring peace, well-being, and an ease and okayness with what is at an extreme level, and letting go of the fear, attachment, resentment, grudges and other aspects of the dark side that I previously leveraged as fuel.

And a funny thing happened. Instead of being in a state of inaction, like a monk on top of a mountain, I instead found myself in action on what mattered most, and easier than ever, through flow.

The more weight, heaviness, tension and resistance was dropped, the more performance increased, without less effort.

But the mind likes to tell you that it works in the opposite. It went against everything I was taught.

I thought high performance would go away, but instead it just gave me an entirely new level of performance that I previously dreamt of.

The clarity, the lightness, the seeing through the illusions, the dropping away of the inessential, the dissolving of unfounded fears, doubts and false beliefs — it all lended itself to a ridiculous meta that I saw almost virtually no one talking about.

From what I could see, with rare exception, there were two main camps of people:

1. Those advocating abandoning progress and pursuing peace exclusively, those that ignored the physical completely because they were “so spiritual”. Think, the “hippie dippy” types.
2. Those who said that if you felt at ease, okay, that you’d lose your edge, your ability to create and achieve. That the dark side, the inner war, the fears, the tension — that’s what was causing you to move forward and if you let that go, you’d lose your ability to move forward and abandon whatever you were pursuing. Think, the grind till you die, brute force everything, smash your head against the wall types

And through my experiments and experience with this, it showed me that both of these lines of thinking get it wrong.

If you think anything like I did, you probably see peace and performance as opposites, but they work together. For example:

If you’re already a spiritual dude, you will not lose “your spirituality” or your peace by pursuing goals, going all in on the projects that matter most to you and working more than you ever have, if that’s what’s needed. In fact, doing this actually become a practice to take your peace and ease to even greater lengths, while in motion.

And if you’re a high performing man, you will not lose your power by optimizing for more peace and ease in your life. In fact, all the tension, resistance, fear, doubts, the “never enough” that’s likely plagues every facet of your life is actually causing you to waste time going down rabbit holes, leak energy all over the place, and reduce your longevity. It’s secretly capping what you’re capable of, but masquerades as something that’s somehow helping you. Dropping it will allow you to move forward more strategically, assess reality more clearly and perform at a level you used to dream possible.

I understand where both of you are coming from. Because I am a very rare combination of both, before all this, I thought and felt very similarly to how both of you do now.

But with the experience I’ve had, I’d go so as far as to say, if you feel like peace and performance are at odds with each other, that if you’re giving up your peace to achieve high performance, or you’re giving up moving forward to focus on spirituality — you never had either, it just seemed like you did.

Contrary to popular belief, there is another level beyond both, where as you unlock more of one, it helps unlock more of the other.

Sound insane? I thought so too before it tested it out on my own and it became my real, lived experience.

The good news is that, no matter how practical or out there this sounds — this isn’t theory. It’s all testable and replicable, so you can see for yourself, first hand.

And so, this is where I spend most of my time and energy now:

Helping men experience the same transformations that I have, and beyond.

The benefits are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Rich beyond words alone can describe. And I have no interest in gatekeeping them or keeping them just to myself, so I’ve dedicated my time currently to sharing this with others, through a free course, Flow Academy and 1:1 coaching.

In the free releasing course, I give you an introduction to how all this works, how you can leverage releasing in your own life and work to increase both peace and performance, simultaneously. It’s exactly what I wish I had on day 1 of my own exploration that will save you a lot of time and headaches.

Then, for those who are most serious, I built Flow Academy. The full system for men — primarily entrepreneurs, creatives, high performers and spiritual seekers — to switch from force to flow. To make work, life and creation easier, more effective and more enjoyable.

It goes much deeper with releasing and provides a plug-and-play, easy-to-follow system that you can use with the goals & actions you’re focused on right now to help you dissolve any resistance, inner-conflict, doubt, tension, and anything else holding you back from that next level.

You also get to address common situations and limitations you may be experiencing, to solve for why life feels like such a struggle and suffer-fest and ultimately, give you a full toolkit for approaching life with more peace and performance, through flow instead of force.

Lastly, you get direct access to me through the 3+ calls per month, learning even deeper how to leverage releasing on contextual goals, challenges and situations, plus a community of like-minded men exploring this right by your side. When explored diligently, this can completely change the way you work and create.

At only $50/month (or $1.61/day) on the Flow Academy 2.0 founders pricing for a limited time only, for the right person, this completely pays for itself with all the effective hours, creative solutions and clarity you receive on a day to day basis — which you’re already paying for in confusion, ineffectiveness, stress and overthinking.

Even better, you can test it all out risk-free with the 14-day money-back guarantee and let your results decide if you stay. And if, for whatever reason, it isn’t a fit or you applied it and didn’t get more value than the price, I wouldn’t want you to keep paying for it.

Then, for those who want to take things to an even crazier level, unlocking transformations way faster, working even more contextually and privately, with a program custom-tailored to your exact goals and challenges — 1:1 work is available, too.

For those who don’t want to pay me a dime, no problem, boss. That’s why the free course and content exists. Sure, you won’t get everything, but it will teach you the exact core mechanic we use in Flow Academy, give you actual reps with applying it through some guided releases and then provide critical nuances and clarifications that again, I wish I knew on day 1 of learning how to release. Even without the full system, this will help show you something that you can apply to whatever you’re working on or going through, to help support your journey and get great benefit— no matter where you’re at.

Not everyone will explore the free course, Flow Academy or actively apply releasing. Many will continue to double down on what’s not working for them — doing the same thing, expecting a different result. And that’s fine. But I at least want to give those who are pulled to this work an opportunity to benefit. A chance to explore this first hand, test it out and experience all the benefit in their work and their own lives, so this goes from “this sounds cool” to your default, lived experience — just like it did for me.

As for content, I also post across YouTube, the email list, IG, X — where I talk about releasing, mindfulness, spirituality, mentality, performance, productivity and creativity. It ranges from practical insights and hacks you can apply to your life, to concepts that sound philosophical or theoretical, but come from my experiments with releasing and the clarity that comes from it.

The email list and main channel are almost exclusively self-improvement based, whereas the second channel is more fun-based content — and then X and IG are a hybrid of the two because if you aren’t having fun or shit-posting at least a little bit, you’ve completely missed the point.

Beyond that, when I’m not applying releasing, experimenting with it in my own life (I’m going for all time great with this) or helping the G’s inside Flow Academy and those I work 1:1 with, you can find me working away at the latest creative or passion project that I’m interested in, having a great time laughing at memes or my favourite comedian of the moment or playing video games like Call of Duty (because even if I’m not playing, COD, MW2 and the Intervention still live rent free in my mind).

Thanks for reading.
