Hi,

For over a decade, I lived in a dark cycle of addiction, self-destruction, and running from who I truly was.
I tried everything. Rehab, meetings, programs, promises to myself, but nothing lasted. Every time I tried to pull forward, something inside me dragged me back. It wasn’t just the substances. It was the emptiness, the guilt, the pain of losing parts of myself, and people I loved along the way.

 

I lost relationships that meant everything to me.
I lost opportunities I once prayed for.

I even lost two unborn children, twins,  a loss that haunted me for years.

At that point, I didn’t just hate my situation, I hated the man I had become. There were nights I didn’t know if I’d wake up. Mornings where I wished I hadn’t. I was alive, but not living,  trapped in a prison of my own making, wearing a mask of fake confidence and pretending I had it under control. But life has a way of giving you one last chance, and I took it. I reached a breaking point where enough was enough. On March 17th, 2025, I made the decision that changed everything. That was my tipping point, the moment I finally said, no more.

 

I turned to the only thing that gave me structure when everything else failed - Fitness. It started as an escape but became my foundation. Training taught me discipline. It gave me a reason to show up, even on days I wanted to quit. It rebuilt my self-respect one rep at a time. But I quickly realized, discipline alone isn’t enough. You can’t out-train loneliness. You can’t out-lift isolation.

 

That’s when I found my second pillar - Community. Surrounding myself with others on the same path gave me something I’d never had before: accountability and belonging. I started building brotherhoods with men who, like me, were tired of pretending, and dozens of people ready to rebuild.

 

And then came the third piece - Purpose. When I found my purpose, everything changed. My pain stopped being my enemy and became my fuel. My past stopped defining me and started empowering me.

 

That’s when I created The Straughnzyy Point™ representing the exact moment when everything shifts.
It’s where you stop fighting the old you and start becoming who you were meant to be. This brand isn’t just a business, it’s my mission. To reach the ones who’ve tried everything and are still searching. To show them that it’s not about starting over again, it’s about starting right this time. To help people cut the resistance bands of addiction, build their foundation through fitness, find strength in community, and move forward with purpose so powerful that their future pulls them like a magnet. I’m living proof that it’s possible. I’ve been where you are, and I know what it takes to climb out. Now, my purpose is to help you reach your tipping point, and claim your momentum.
