FixBayonets isn’t about bayonets. It’s not about war stories, trench mud, or some history quiz you’d bomb. It’s about the fight you’re dodging right now—the one you could win if you’d just start.
I launched this after walking away from the Marine Corps in 2021. No script, no fanfare—just me, restless, figuring out what’s next. I’d watched too many buddies come home and stall—veterans or not, men stuck waiting for life to hand them a map instead of drawing their own. That’s where this came from: a spark to remind you the tools to build your life aren’t lost—they’re buried in you, waiting to be picked up.
“Fix bayonets” used to mean brace for the chaos—close range, no backing down. Now, it’s my way of saying: find your dream, lock in, take the first step. Not with a war cry, but with a nod. No guilt trips, no chest-thumping—just you deciding what’s worth it. The Corps gave me focus. Life showed me it’s nothing unless you aim it at something real—like leaving a job that’s killing you, eating food that doesn’t drag you down, or finally saying what you’ve choked back.
This is for men who aren’t finished—who won’t settle for being the burnout vet, the guy who peaked early, or the one coasting on “good enough.” It’s for the ones who feel a pull—to start something, to get unstuck, to chase what’s been whispering in their head—but haven’t moved. We’re not here to scream at you. We’re here to say: I see it in you. The greatness. The spark. You’ve got what it takes—whether it’s walking away from the uniform, starting small, or facing that one conversation.
Why? Because I’ve lost brothers who couldn’t find their next step. Because I’ve stared down that barrel myself, wondering if this was it. And because I know you’re capable of more—a business, a healthier you, a dream you’ve shelved—if you stop stalling and start seeing it too.
FixBayonets is your quiet call. Not to war, but to you. Lock in. Cut the excuse. Your life’s waiting—go claim it.
