21 Feb What’s This Blog About?

The year was 2006. I was 13 years old. My cousins made fun of me for being a little chubby—not fat, just a bit rounder than the other kids. My classmates would reach for my cheeks like I was some kind of toddler. And every time they tried, I fought back.

That’s when I decided to start working out. I had no equipment, no gym membership—just raw determination. I started with calisthenics. A few months in, my body transformed. I was stronger, leaner, and looked better. At school, kids noticed. My broad shoulders became a talking point.

And the same cousins who used to mock me? Now they were asking:

“Hey, by the way… what kind of training do you do?”

That moment hit me hard.

• I realized I could change.
• I could take control.
• I could become whoever I wanted to be.

The Struggle Was Never a Lack of Information

Even after getting in shape, I had more questions than answers. I didn’t just want to improve physically—I wanted to understand life. That’s why I spent so much time around older guys, asking my father and uncle a thousand questions, observing, learning.

I wished I had an older brother—someone to guide me, someone who had already walked the path I was just starting on.

And today, in a world drowning in information, I see the same struggle everywhere.

The problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s knowing what actually matters.

We don’t need more random advice. We need clarity.

Why I Started This Blog

Today, I’m a Muslim, a father, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, a strength coach, and someone with 17 years of work experience. I’ve dealt with all kinds of people, studied human behavior, faced loss and betrayal, read hundreds of books, and consumed countless hours of content across different disciplines.

Through it all, I’ve learned—and continue to learn.

And because of that, people constantly ask me for advice:

• How do you stay disciplined?
• How do you balance strength training with Jiu-Jitsu?
• What do you do when you feel lost in life?

I answer the same questions daily. Sometimes I spend hours explaining the same thing to different people.

That’s when it hit me.

🔹 What if I wrote it all down?

🔹 What if I put my experiences out there so others could learn from them?

🔹 What if my past struggles could help someone avoid wasting years of trial and error?

At first, I hesitated. I worried about what people would say. Close friends and family would joke:

“Oh, so you’re an influencer now?”

And you know what? Yes. Yes, I am.

Not the TikTok kind, dancing for views.

But if I can influence young people to build discipline, train harder, and live better—why wouldn’t I?

If I can help someone at a crossroads make the right decision—why stay silent?
