I started The Rite yesterday… and had to restart today. Not because the work was too hard, but because I missed one tiny, non-negotiable requirement — the daily progress photo.

And that's exactly why The Rite exists.

In this episode, I break down why men don't fail under heavy weight — they fail in the small cracks, and how restarting on Day One forced me to tighten my discipline and build the tool I should've built from the beginning:

A daily operating system that tracks:

• The Core Stack (Fuel, Move, State, Learn & Teach, Serve, Lead at Home, Verify Reality)

• Ruck + evening training

• Carnivore/keto progress + glucose data

• Water intake

• The daily progress photo

• The High-Impact Question

• The Evening Accountability Moment

• The Integrity Score (0–7)

This isn't self-help. This is sovereignty — measured, recorded, lived.

We also roll out the Strongpoint Weekly Challenge: Eliminate one dependency. Build one discipline. Tell one truth.

If you're doing The Rite, restarting it, or thinking about beginning — this episode sets the tone.
