Free. Zero risk. No sales pitch.
We'll talk about your present situation and future path forward.
"The point is that you begin by marking a pause in your life, a time when you say to yourself, the old path is no good anymore. I have come to the end of it." — Zoketsu Norman Fischer
"To live well is to work well." — Saint Thomas Acquinas
You're caught in a spiritual war that denies both your worth... and your connection to something more than yourself.
A war of distraction from your true Self.
External forces array against you:
Culture: reduces you to body and bones, nothing more, unvalued.
Economy: profits from your distraction, addiction and dis-ease.
Internal struggles arise within you:
Negative thoughts and feelings: undermine your well-being.
Energy-draining habits: weaken your resolve.
You're not alone.
Men your age face epidemic levels of self-comparison, shame, and worthlessness.
Pain.
Most run from it, attempt escape through the overuse of alcohol or drugs, reckless gambling, excessive gaming, obsessive scrolling, falling into a hypersexualized world. Distractions that only deepen the disconnection from the true Self.
But a certain class of men does not run. “Spiritual warriors” face suffering. They study it, and grow stronger—not just for themselves, but to help others.
A reason to get up each morning. A way to matter. Financial capability, to support. Enthusiasm for the future.
These may seem out of reach...
If some of this rings true:
You’re working, but it feels pointless, just pure drudgery.
Or have no work at all, your hands idled, as time drones on.
Your state of mind, body and being diminishes, your aspirations dim, your will weakens.
Dogs, frogs and fantasies of fame become your highest hope for a financial future.
You watch helpful videos, listen to informative podcasts, feel some momentary inspiration, but nothing much changes.
Days disappear into distractions.
Gaming, harmless, but all those hours lost.
Non-stop scrolling.
The endless intrusion of a hypersexualized world.
It all adds up, and leaves you feeling depleted.
That voice—"I have no significance. I have no meaning. I have no value. I have nothing to contribute. I have no love."
You might feel paralyzed, stuck with the dread that you're wasting your life.
But it has to change, or risk weeks turning into months turning into years.
This isn't self-help. It's the start of an entirely different way of living:
Training in spiritual warriorship...
And applying it to serious workmanship.
You'll study and practice for two things.
Power: to stay steady and focused, regardless of what life throws at you.
Purpose: to work to help others.
Free. Zero risk. No sales pitch.
We'll talk about your present situation and future path forward.
Warriorship: Facing challenges with courage, dignity, and resilience for a greater cause.
They sit with suffering. They study it. They strengthen through it.
To become powerful, the best they can be.
Not seeking the hollow promise of fame or fortune...
But a higher goal, known to be more satisfying.
To be purposeful, applying their strength to do good by others.
This WHY matters.
It brings peace of mind and strength of heart.
It unlocks work that matters.
It creates connection to others and the world around you.
Workmanship: Skill, quality, and motivation in work that benefits others.
You are a Being (body, mind, soul, Spirit) with inherent worth, basic goodness.
You have it. You are it.
The spiritual warrior's path is one of reconnecting with it, and acting accordingly.
"From Lost to Founder" is the beginning of this path.
Free. Zero risk. No sales pitch.
We'll talk about your present situation and future path forward.
Claim power and agency over your life and Being.
Move past feelings of meaninglessness and worthlessness.
Maintain capability to engage life’s daily challenges.
Develop the foundation for helping others through purpose-filled work.

M.A. Graduate Theological Union | Author | Sound Healer
YOUR GUIDE
Entrepreneur & Theologian
Hello.
I'm a GenXer, who's scaled heights, crashed down, climbed again, repeat.
I live monk-like now, in a simple home, working and practicing, walking in nature.
Starting Out
In my early 20s, I formally studied theology and philosophy.
M.A. from Graduate Theological Union at UC Berkeley.
At 27, in the midst of my "waiting period" (waiting on tables, waiting for life), heart-broken, left cold by "the one"...
I felt completely, utterly failed in life...
Watching as my friends succeeded.
I set out to prove myself.
Experience As Entrepreneur
Fifteen years...
Five companies including IFILM, which paved the way for YouTube, and was acquired by Viacom.
And Obscura, pioneer in massive-scale display, acquired by The Madison Square Garden Company to build The Sphere in Las Vegas.
Plus Miraclefeet, a non-profit that has healed over 100,000 kids worldwide of clubfoot.
I had ambition, and acted on it.
Acquired a little fame, some fortune, found that neither brought much peace at all, if any at all.
Always striving, seeking external validation that never satisfied.
Always drama, trials and triumphs, betrayals and breakthroughs.
But the work itself, the striving and doing, learning and growing, felt good.
With my final company, Nukotoys ("Silicon Valley's Toy Company"), I had reached my heights:
Of work—our products picked up by Apple Stores and Walmart alike...
And love—I had "got the girl," "the one" from 15 years prior.
Both collapsed.
A Retreat To Contemplation & Study
I retreated to nature, to pick up again the study of theology and philosophy…
Ancient texts and modern teachings alike.
It felt like coming home.
I wrote two books, learned and practiced healing through music, sound and psychedelics.
Integrating Work & Wisdom
There's no question, with my career, I got lucky with timing…
My entrance into the work force happened just as the Internet was being born.
An exciting time.
There's some sense of that now, of opportunity.
But so too things are more difficult in this time of unprecedented concentration of wealth, corruption...
A culture of accelerated moral decay.
The world is changing, and challenging.
AI is here.
For many, times are hard.
The interesting thing is, as I look back on my life, I see the luck most clearly not in my wins, the comfort that came with them, but in the losses…
In the hard times.
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times." - G. Michael Hopf
We're in the hard times. With weak men.
Hard times can shape us, through adversity and necessity, into all we're meant to be.
Provided we let them.
Success is a hoped for pattern.
Hard times are pattern disruption.
With them come the possibility of a new beginning.
Within every beginning comes the opportunity for a new way of being.
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger. The discipline of suffering, of great suffering—do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far?" — Nietzsche
The path isn't easy, but it's necessary.
It's my belief that, in this time of war against and within, we must embody the warrior ethos.
Put into the service of others, which, you will learn, serves your deepest Self.
Providing you with power and purpose...
Re-enchanting your work in the world.
In this training, you'll prepare your body, expand your mind, rediscover your soul, reconnect to Spirit.
You'll begin a transformative journey through spiritual warriorship to serious workmanship.
I'm here to help you do this, putting all of my power into this purpose.
May it be so,
Leo

Invented Large-Scale Projection & Video Immersion
Co-founded the company that invented large-scale projection mapping as an industry, transforming iconic buildings worldwide including the Empire State Building, Vatican, and AT&T Stadium. Over seventeen years, Obscura developed breakthrough technologies for architectural projection while building a sustainable revenue model through high-profile client projects. Clients ranged from Coca-Cola to Salesforce to the United Nations.
The company was acquired by Madison Square Garden Company specifically to develop The Sphere Las Vegas.
Bridged Physical Toys With Video Gaming
Founded "Silicon Valley's Toy Company" that pioneered the integration of physical toys with digital gaming experiences through collectible trading cards that interacted with iPad apps.
Nukotoys developed two games: one based on the bestselling children's book Monsterology and the other featuring the Animal Planet brand. .
Both games secured nationwide retail distribution of their physical trading cards, through Apple Stores, Walmart, Target, and Toys"R"Us. And Nukotoys won MobileBeat's Best iPad App 2012
Pioneered Online User-Generated Video
Founded the pioneering online video platform that became the largest user-generated video site before YouTube.
Over seven years, IFILM developed the free, ad-supported content model that would later define online video, aggregating short films and creating IFILMpro for industry professionals.
The company raised $65M across six funding rounds, achieved a $300M valuation, and was ultimately acquired by Viacom/MTV, establishing the foundation for today's creator economy.
Bringing Relief To Children & Families Worldwide
Co-founded, served as Director, and help establish strategy for the global health foundation that revolutionized clubfoot treatment delivery in developing countries, and continues to operate—still very much active and making a difference, recently supported by a $5M Oak Foundation commitment..
MiracleFeet developed a sustainable foundation model that has treated over 100,000 children across 35+ countries through local healthcare partnerships. Leo, along with Nukotoys CTO Dr. Mike North, was instrumental in the organization’s creation the $20 MiracleFeet brace (replacing $200-1000 alternatives), in partnership with Standford University.

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage." — Rilke
This primary training material consists of audio-only modules, delivered automatically to your chosen podcast app.
Why Audio?
The already over-stimulated mind processes better without visual distraction.
The last thing it needs is more time staring at a screen.
You can listen while on a walk, working out, or even lying down with your eyes closed - giving your mind space to actually absorb what you're learning.
The teachings become part of your daily reality through repetitive listening, making them actually stick instead of just being information you consume once.
Cognitive Load Theory shows audio-only learning frees up brain power for deeper content comprehension.
Studies show removing visual distractions improves retention and understanding of complex material.
Neuroscience research indicates audio activates imagination and reflection pathways, creating personalized mental models.
The training contains three components.
Core Teachings
Audio-only modules delivered automatically to your chosen podcast app
Micro-practices that you can integrate immediately into your daily life
Super Powers that you will develop over time
Community
An online community of brothers who are working through or have completed the training

Free. Zero risk. No sales pitch.
We'll talk about your present situation and future path forward.
Focus on external optimization without addressing the inner emptiness - creates more pressure without solving why you feel lost in the first place.
Teaches you to perform dominance rather than develop authentic strength - creates brittle identity that collapses when tested by real challenges.
Assume you already have motivation and direction - skip the foundational work of discovering authentic purpose and transforming your relationship to meaningful work.
Scattered insights without systematic progression or accountability - you consume endless content but never develop the sustained practice and community support needed for actual transformation.
Traditional academics separates theory from practical application - providing deep knowledge without the integration needed to transform personal crisis into authentic purpose and meaningful work. With this training, the knowledge is focused, accessible, and practical.
Created for people fine-tuning established careers - bypasses the identity work needed when you're questioning everything about purpose and meaning.
Hoping society, the economy, or culture will fix itself while your situation deteriorates and you lose years of development.
Gaming, substances, or endless content consumption that temporarily numbs pain but prevents the growth that would actually solve the underlying problems.
If you apply yourself to this training, you will learn state-shifting perspectives and practices that you will be applying daily, in the service of maintaining an uplifted, helpful state of being. You will have a new understanding and developing capability to use the unavoidable struggles of your life to better yourself, your life, and the lives of others.
Not hard, but requires commitment, to bettering yourSelf, your life by reorienting determining to help others, and training to do so. You'll listen, read, reflect, practice, and progress.
Spiritual but not religious, this training draws upon teachings from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, as well as indigenous traditions. While aligned with the "perennial philosophy" that shines through all major religions, the training preferences none--it offers practical wisdom from all of them.
These aren't abstract concepts. They're practical frameworks I've tested through actual crisis. When I teach about staying steady under pressure, it's because I'm using these tools right now. Every framework has immediate application for warriors navigating these corrupted times.
That's a great question, as the value you will find far exceed this small price to pay. If priced as an optimization training for professionals, the price would be $2,500+.
The course is priced as it is, at only $100, to make it affordable to everyone.
This said, after the pre-launch, the price may rise to something closer to $200--still affordable, but double from here.
You'll spend more than that on distractions this month. The question is whether you're ready to invest in warrior training instead of just managing symptoms.
If you recognize that your struggle isn't random—that something deeper is calling you toward authentic development—then this will work. This is specifically for men experiencing spiritual emergency who are ready to train as warriors.
Complete all 4 weeks of the program. If you haven't experienced significant transformation in how you understand your situation and your capacity to handle it, I'll refund every penny.
You can keep scrolling, keep hoping external circumstances will change while your capacity remains the same.
Or you can develop the power to stay focused regardless of what life throws at you, and discover your purpose through work that helps others.
You're at the fork. One path leads back to the numbness you know. The other leads to the man you're meant to become.
Choose now.
