For men rebuilding the three things that actually compound: the body you live in, the brain you fight with, the name you answer to. Two ways in. One is a community. One is a call.

THE MANIFESTO

No hacks. No theatre. Just the work, counted in years.

You were told to try this app, that tool, organise yourself, respect other people’s time. You tried. Most of it was shit, and nobody selling it would say so. This place exists to say so - and to keep what actually works.

WHO’S TALKING

One man. No name. Just the work.

One man. No name. Just the work.

Glorious Bastard is one man, not a team in a rented office. The name stays off the door - this is not a personal brand, it is a standard. The body: rebuilt after burnout, measured in years of training logs, not before-and-afters. The brain: wired differently, managed in the open - every tool on the Tools page survived that head first. The brand: built by shipping, not shouting. What is sold here is what survived: a community that talks straight, a call that ends with a plan, essays when they are worth having. No guru, no course, no funnel. Pseudonymous by design, accountable by choice.

Why I built this

For years I looked like I was doing fine. Moving, climbing, getting on with it. Inside was a different story. Stress and burnout made me stop pretending I could just push through.

Men are taught to keep words like ADHD, stress, depression and burnout to themselves. I’m done with that. No taboos anymore. Glorious Bastard is where I talk honestly about what I’ve tried across body, brain and brand. No guru shit. No perfect routine.

THE THREE PILLARS




Body. Brain. Brand. No guru shit




Body. Brain. Brand. No guru shit

BODY

The discipline you can measure.

Sleep, training, food, energy. Not aesthetics for their own sake – the physical floor everything else stands on.

BRAIN

The loud head

ADHD, burnout, the noise. What actually worked, from people living it, not selling it. This is where The Bastard lives.

BRAND

The name you answer to

How you show up, what you build, what you’re known for. Reputation as a practice, not a polish.

TWO WAYS IN

Pick a door.

DOOR 1 · THE COMMUNITY · €19/MO

Frank talk for men with loud heads.

A private, pseudonymous community for adult men living with ADHD, burnout and everything that comes with them. Application-only. Twenty founding members first, fifty at most. Real reviews of the apps and routines, written by people who actually stuck with them – or didn’t.

DOOR 2 · THE CALL · €75 EARLY / €95 STANDARD

45 minutes. Voice only. Leave with a plan.

One strategy call with me. A short intake first, so we don’t spend your 45 minutes on your life story. Within 48 hours you get it in writing: what we decided, what happens first, what I think you’re avoiding. Members of The Bastard book first.

Book The 45

No video. No performance.

THE NEWSLETTER · FREE

Thoughts, when they’re worth having.

Essays on discipline, attention and building a name. The same standard as everything else here - which is why it’s not weekly. Leave your email; leave anytime.

TOOLS

The kit that survived.

Everything here is used by me or stress-tested inside The Bastard. If it’s listed, it survived.
