Letter From the President

I can still remember the feeling. Like being trapped as someone I knew I was not. A square peg in a round hole. “Walking to the beat of my own drummer”, as they politely put it in the deep South. Loaded with anger over my inabilities, over eating to satisfy that anger, it would be years later before I learned I was severely dyslexic. I can remember the feeling of sitting in front of a science book, trying to comprehend the chapter on frogs, as the words just rolled off the page, impossible for me to catch. I never read an entire book, Never. I was lucky to get out of high school at all. I was battling dyslexia and my behavioral problems due to my inabilities. I could have very easily given up on school and myself altogether. Then I discovered fitness.

Young men in the South always wanted to be big. At 18 all we could think about was putting on muscle and looking like what we thought was impressive. By the time we were 25 we wanted to look like we did at 18 again. But never the less we were inspired to work out, which proved to be a very positive thing. This led to lifting weights which led to a more developed muscles, nervous system and body awareness. All at the right age to reap what I now know are the many benefits. Shortly after this I gained an interest in cycling and my all supportive mother bought me my first road bike. I rode for hours daily. The long rides and rhythmic cadence I now know were “Pulsing” my nervous system had a remarkable calming effect on my mind. I can now go into detail as to how this occurs but let’s just say it was a natural SSRI or Prozac. Coinciding with this I met a Doctor that recruited me due to my new interest in self improvement. He taught me that life can be fun, work can be fun and there are victories to be had daily through the pursuit of self improvement. I remember the day I read my first book cover to cover. I was 20 years old. The first chapter of this self improvement book taught me why you get distracted when you read and tricks to improve comprehension. I sat there all day unable to look away. This was the first time I truly knew I could compete with anyone. I was hooked on Self Improvement forever. After a short career in self destruction I realized that if I can do negative things to myself I can just as easily do positive things. Finding comfort and excitement in knowing there is always room to get better. This led me to finish my college degree in Exercise Physiology where I learned more and thrived in the world that had saved me.

Fast forward from Mississippi to Los Angeles and all the craziness that ensued, after years of trial and error in business and a very successful personal training career, I found myself in another deep hole. Personal disaster and the near death of my Wife left me paralyzed in life once again. I knew that in order to finish what I started I had to take baby steps. The first step was to create EntroPrize. I knew if I was able to overcome my situation it would be the path back to what I love. Sharing my experience of Self Improvement and inspiring others with Ideas, Books, Products and more. I knew I had to take care of myself to ever get back to this place. EntroPrize is a culmination of this process. A determination to finish what I started. As a trainer I had had every injury you can imagine. This helped me understand the injuries and treatments of my clients injuries. In business, I have had every problem you can possibly imagine. This also will help me understand and motivate others and give me the knowledge to reach my goals.

Some people look at life and say “why do so much?” “Why try so hard?” We should all look at life and say “Why Not?” “Why not see what we can accomplish?”. Sometimes we just need to be given the right tools and message to know what our potential is.
