In 2012 he received a nomination for a Shorty Award for both Blogging and PR. Doug Probst (Shawn Mayotte): I chronicle my reality, from living in a house of horrors until age 12, then entering a county system as an impressionable, prepubescent white boy, and exiting a cynically enraged egomaniac with no self-esteem and poor social skills. How could I have acquired social skills? I was taught to believe my only marketable skills were my sexuality, my anger, and my musical ability — in that order. I was diagnosed with PTSD during my first year on the streets by a Newport Beach psychiatrist. At 17, I was released to the streets and immediately began a male escort service; with me being the number-one escort. I also started two other careers at once, one considered illegitimate and one considered legitimate. I was modeling for an industry that was pornographic (photos for magazines), and I was also being hired to play music. In those days, I could keep the two separated; I could earn money in distinctly different businesses without ever worrying that somehow the two would collide, and I'd be found out. In fact, I lived in “my world” and I only entered “your world” when I had to. A world-renowned photographer renamed me Shawn Mayotte in 1983, and thus began my nude modeling career. I was also a personal escort (sex worker) to many rich and famous movie & television moguls and actors including Robert Reed, David Geffen, Dack Rambo, Sandy Gallin, Allan Carr, and numerous others.

Tommy's blog, Teeco71.com, highlights his interviews with celebrities, indie filmmakers and musicians, and the events he attends. Nathan Kohlerman: My modern day fitness journey really began in 2011, while I was stationed in Suwon, South Korea. After 2 years of consistently working out five to six days a week, I had decided I was going to pursue bodybuilding. During my 3 year journey in bodybuilding, I had competed in 6 shows altogether, achieving my Men's Beachbody Professional status with Global Bodybuilding Organization and reaching the national level as a heavyweight bodybuilder with the National Physique Committee. After 3 years of putting myself through the intense training, diet, and dehydration protocols, 6 back-to-back shows, and working my weight up to 253 pounds, I finally considered stepping away from bodybuilding because I remember my daughter coming to visit and I couldn't even sit on the ground to play with her. After seeing her defeated face, I knew something had to change. That very next day, on March 21, 2017, I leaned on a counter and in a split-second, it snapped – tearing 4 tendons and severing my radial artery and median nerve. When I got to the hospital and after running blood test, they had revealed to me that I had severe liver toxicity and an acute kidney injury because of the lifestyle and choices I had made to pursue bodybuilding. After my injury and receiving the horrific news of my health, I knew something had to change. After years of work and countless investments into my personal growth and continuing education, NeuIntention Health and Wellness was born with a mission to educate, empower, and inspire others to take their health into their own hands and to redefine human optimization through mind, body, and soul.LINKS: Tommy Nathan SOCIAL MEDIA: Tommy: Twitter Instagram LinkTree Facebook YouTube Clubhouse Nathan: Linktree Instagram Twitter Clubhouse

Tommy's blog, Teeco71.com, highlights his interviews with celebrities, indie filmmakers and musicians, and the events he attends. Coach Alex Ray: I used to be the most insecure person you ever met.I was constantly searching for the answer to true lasting confidence, and I swore I would share the answer when I finally found it. I wanted so badly just to spend a few seconds without insecurity. Like many people, I thought “It's probably because of my body. If I just get really fit, then I will feel confident.” So I went all in on fitness… but even after achieving a perfect 6-pack I was still insecure. I continued to hustle in every area of my life prove myself. At one point I was consistently working over 12 hours a day. Then in 2017, I hit rock bottom in my depression and I attempted suicide. The problem was never my body. It wasn't fixable through any amount of hustle. My entire life I had believed I am not enough. Growing up in a conservative legalistic environment taught me that who I am as a gay man is not lovable to God. I believed that part of my identity was flawed and broken and needed to change. And until that turning point, I had drowned myself in school, in work, in fitness, ANYTHING to appear worthy of love. And ultimately, worthy of self-love. If you're struggling to find confidence you can probably identify with these. We people please to make sure our friends like us. We hustle at work to gain approval from our boss. We avoid conflict because we can't handle the criticism. We procrastinate on things we care about to avoid failure. And every night our head hits the pillow with vivid memories of all the ways we fucked up today. And all the people who probably don't like us because we said the wrong thing. So let me answer the confidence question for you once and for all: Confidence is not something people are born with. And it's not something that will come when you change your body, or your job, or your location, or your bank account. I've tried it all. Confidence is created through three things, and three things only. Allowing discomfort, taking action (towards discomfort), and having your own back. And when we work together, I'll teach you my proven method to become confident that works for everyone.
