Project Rockstar is the experience of a lifetime, it has forever changed the quality and trajectory of my life! Sitting here writing this I am reflecting back on what has been the most incredible and rewarding year of my life! It was an intense journey of self discovery that helped me to redefine the expectations of myself.

Previous to Rockstar my life was okay, I was seeing a girl and was on my way to starting my second business but I still felt an emptiness inside of me, I wanted more out of life. Mediocrity was something I had never been content with, yet most of the time I felt like I was living at 70% of my potential simply because I did not have the skills sets to tap into the other 30%. I had so many years of negative programming and shitty beliefs about myself, sex and women. My fear of rejection and lack of confidence around women had haunted me my whole life.

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago when I took a 10 day boot camp with Sterling and Vici in Miami that I realized I had the potential to achieve so much more for myself, that the world out there was so much bigger than the one I had been allowing myself to experience.

I found out about Rockstar on the 10 day, but at the time I felt like I wasn’t good enough for the next intake, so I spent the next year working my butt off in the key areas of social skills, fitness and lifestyle design. I was in my mid thirties at the time of applying so I knew I had to stand out on my application. Thank god I got in because from the day I was accepted I can honestly say my life has never been the same!

Being on Rockstar has given me the chance to face my fears, live outside my comfort zone and truly make some huge strides towards finding out who I am as a man.

The program is a huge commitment, both financially and with the level of effort you will need to put in. It will shake to the core, weed out all your insecurities and more than likely it will see you reduced to tears at least once by the end of the summer. But through all of this you will have the best time of your life and make a heap of new friends along the way.

The Sports Food Fitness training program starts immediately upon your acceptance to the Rockstar. Fitness becomes your life, the program is both physically and physiologically grueling but you will most definitely get in the best shape of your life. It’s a solid 12 weeks of getting jacked but it also mentally and physically prepares you for the summer ahead. I had personally never eaten so much clean healthy food in all my life! We all hated chicken by the end of the fitness program only to arrive in Vegas to find more dry chicken waiting for us. It’s extremely intense but all the hard work doesn’t go unnoticed by the girls and when you’re at the pool parties surrounded by gorgeous women in bikinis you certainly won’t regret having completed all the thousands of reps in the gym.

I remember the first day in Vegas well. We all meet up at the Cosmo, it was an overwhelming feeling sitting in the room with all the new Rockstars, the instructors and a huge number of returning alumni. Everyone had a turn at introducing themselves and telling their stories, it soon became obvious how successful everyone was and how everyone had their own unique story of what brought them here. The fact that so many alumni came back to support the program was testament to how special it was to them.

The Rockstars this year not only spanned more than 15 years in age difference, but we also all came from different countries, cultures and careers and yet everyone in the group becomes such close friends by the end. Something special happens when you put a group of guys together who all share the same aspirations of wanting to become the best version of themselves. It’s such a tight brotherhood that forms, and pretty much all of them ended up being as close as my best friends back home that I had known for years!

During the first couple of weeks on the program I was so far out of my element, I would get to the clubs and just be mesmerized by all the bright lights, thumping music and just so many hot women. I was taking on so much new growth that at times I almost felt like I was going backwards. It’s a hard graft and I experienced many peaks and plateaus. I eventually started hitting my stride around 3 and a half weeks in, by then the combination of my new fashion, ever increasing self belief and the way I carried myself as a man had improved 10 fold. Honestly the changes I saw and felt in myself from one week to the next were profound. As I was becoming more masculine and bold my successes with women were becoming more consistent and the dialog that went through my head during my approaches and interactions became more and more positive.

The great thing about the program is that as you learn and with each and every little adjustment or change you make to your game you are getting constant feedback, firstly from the interactions with the women you met each night, then again from the instructors the next day. One example of how noticeable the changes can be was when I got a new haircut and Alswede had taken me out on the fashion consult. The results were immediate; straight away I was getting more girls opening green.

The feedback sessions were so on point; Sterling, Vici and Vybe are experts at breaking down game and explaining it back to us in a way that is digestible. Sterling would spend his whole night just watching us and taking in what was going on, nothing gets past him. If we were not pushing hard enough, approaching enough, using enough contact, any number of things he already knew! We thought we had a busy schedule but the instructors seriously worked there arses off organizing everything.

I really had no idea how I was going to survive the clubs in Vegas, my seen had always been country music and bars. I maybe got to a nightclub 5 or 6 times a year so the prospect of partying to EDM and House music 6 nights a week for 10 weeks straight scared the shit out of me. But EDC weekend changed all that for me, you can’t make it through that weekend and come out not loving EDM and House music. I had never partied so hard in all my life as what we did that weekend.

One of my biggest concerns going into the summer was that this may end up just being 10 weeks of partying and game. Having been through the program now I can attest that there is so much more learning that goes on than just game. There are seminars on just about everything from Jesses ‘Lifestyle entrepreneur’s academy’ to leadership, marketing, website building, property investment, negotiations skills to life coaching and so on.

We also get the odd fun day thrown in the mix. We got to go skydiving, shot machine guns in the desert, 4th July celebrations, wakeboarding in Croatia and a day out at an amusement park in Sweden to name a few.

There’s a shit tonne of learning and growth to be had with a healthy mix between Fitness, Lifestyle Design and Game!

Heading to Berlin and Croatia for the 2 week Rockstar break was fucking epic, I had never been to Europe so it felt a whole new world. The clubs were of the chart and the women were straight out of an FHM magazine. We had great weather and the beaches were a welcome site after 5 weeks in Vegas. We ended up partying super hard for our break, which isn’t really the objective of break but we did all get to know each other pretty well by the end of it.

Once we hit Sweden we started partying like kings. Everyone was starting to relax and have fun with their game. We would often have tables at the best clubs, we were all dressing like total badarses and our game was getting close to instructor level. The women at these clubs were smoking hot and Swedish culture is very much so sexually liberated. The way we were now partying as a group created such a fun atmosphere and vibe that it would draw women in, they could see we were guys who knew how to party and fun. There were all sorts of crazy stories happening everyday in Sweden. Here we were also getting roughly 3 nights off per week so it was a great chance use these nights for dates, either with women we met while out or from Tinder.

For me by this point I was feeling the full effects of my Rockstar transformation. I had shed so many limiting beliefs and I was feeling more and more like a boss walking around the clubs.

I could feel myself becoming the person I always knew I should be and wanted to be but before Rockstar I just didn’t know how to get there. I was able to communicate with women at a level I previously didn’t know existed, a level beyond words. My body language seemed to be doing most of the talking. I finally felt like I got women and they could sense it.

I gained so many positive reference experiences that there is just no way I could slip back into my old life. I was getting comments like “When I first met you I thought to myself who the fuck is this guy and how come he is so confident” and “I’ve never felt a connection with anyone so powerful” and more than once I banged girls that had previously never had an SNL. One of them even commented to me that I got her to break her number 1 rule but that she felt like she should be thanking me!! You definitely feel like the sexual liberator when you hear comments like that. Keeping in mind my background and that I myself had never had a SNL before Rockstar, my reality was constantly being shattered.

Another highlight for me was a 5 minute pull I had with a 20yr old chick in Croatia that was almost half my age.

The material they teach on Rockstar is so on point and when delivered right hits super hard. I now feel like I can take an interaction in any direction. You get given the tools to take interactions with women as far as you want anywhere from SNL to a longer term relationship. I feel like I can now build strong connections with women so much faster and deeper. None of what we learnt was based on bullshit lines or routines.

Having been through Rockstar now I can honestly say that I know and value myself so much more than I ever have, I now recognize my own self-worth and I have a renewed passion for life. I was always my biggest enemy coming into this but I conquered myself and came out on top. I was rejected hundreds of times over the summer but I also managed to almost double the number of girls I had been with in my entire life. By the end of Rockstar how many times you got laid becomes irrelevant and you come to realize how much growth can be attributed to being surrounded by such an amazing crew of guys. These guys will be friends for life and I’m truly grateful for the part they played in my journey.

From the day we were accepted into the program the instructors were there for us, they went out of their way to make sure we experienced as much growth as possible. I have a huge appreciation for the core instructors Sterling, Vici, Venture and Vybe who sacrificed so much of their time and energy just to help us succeed, not to mention the junior instructors who also played a massive part over the summer Scumbadger, Hootie, Jasper and Alswede. You guys are legends thank you so much for making Rockstar the epic transformational experience that it is today!

Project Rockstar literally is a blueprint for going after your dreams and getting what you want out of life. It’s incredibly difficult to put into words just how special this program is and I don’t think anyone will truly understand unless they experience it themselves. If you make it onto the program and put in all the hard work that’s required, it won’t come easy but I can assure you the rewards and memories out the other end are for life and they far out way any of the sacrifices, expense and effort. So I encourage you to do everything and anything in your power to get accepted. Become your best self and never look back again!
