Community Announcement — A New Chapter Begins This March 2026 Starting this March, I’m making a meaningful change to our Skool community. As part of my almsgiving for Lent, the community will become completely FREE for EVERYONE. This decision comes straight from my mission: to make truthful, practical, and formative knowledge accessible and affordable for all. What’s changing • The community will now be called The Lyceum, named after the school founded by Aristotle • The majority of classroom coursework will be free • A small number of special courses may be offered for $5, purely as a donation for instructor appreciation • No one will be charged to learn, grow, or participate moving forward What The Lyceum stands for Just as Aristotle’s Lyceum explored: • life and biology • ethics and virtue • metaphysics and logic • reasoned thought and dialogue Our Lyceum will continue to dive deep into: • physical practices and training philosophy • discipline and habit formation • communication and leadership • integration of mind, body, and meaning This is not just content. It’s a classroom for formation. My only ask This is my gift to you. In return, I ask one thing: • Share this community with those who need it • Help contribute by inviting others who are seeking direction, discipline, and growth Knowledge multiplies when it’s given freely. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Welcome to the Daru Strong Club. This is your training ground for total human optimization—mind, body, and spirit. The goal is simple: build discipline, stack small wins, and grow with a community that holds you to a higher standard. Inside, you’ll post daily, track progress, learn, and get direct coaching in live Q&As. Below is your clear, step-by-step playbook. Save it. Use it. Live it. Quick Orientation (what’s where) - Home / Community Feed: Daily posts, announcements, wins, and conversations. - Classroom / Courses: Programs, templates, and resources. - Calendar / Events: Live Q&A schedule and upcoming sessions. - Members: Connect, DM, and form accountability squads. - Search: Find posts, topics, or answers fast (use keywords like “ruck,” “nutrition,” “mindset”). - Notifications / DMs: Turn on notifications so you don’t miss live calls, replies, or tags. Tip: Pin important posts (rules, starter guides, templates) and follow the “Announcements” category. Daily Operating System (Mon–Sun) Do these in order. They take 10–15 minutes and set the tone for your day. 1) Affirmations (post in Affirmations) When: First thing in the morning—before life gets loud. Why: Prime your nervous system, align intention with action. How: Keep it short, specific, and identity-based. Template: - I am ______ (identity you’re building) - Today I will ______ (one non-negotiable action) - I reject ______ (distraction or vice)Example:“I am a disciplined father and athlete. Today I will complete my training block and 20 minutes of mobility. I reject excuses.” 2) Public Journal (post in Public Journal) When: Morning or midday. Why: Transparency creates accountability; clarity beats motivation. How: Three prompts—keep it real. Template: - What I’m feeling / thinking: ______ - What I’m focused on today: ______ - Obstacle & plan: ______ → ______Example:“Feeling under-recovered. Focus: hydration + protein. Obstacle: late meetings → Plan: train at 6 pm, prep shake at 5:30.”
