Who is Alpha Mantra?

Well first and foremost you are! If you haven’t read up on what is Alpha Mantra lifestyle is all about, please check out What is Alpha Mantra. For those of you who are already on board with the Alpha Mantra lifestyle, you probably want to know a little bit more about James and David, the men who started the movement.

James is a 22-year-old graduate from the University at Albany with a degree in Communication. He was formerly a Manager for one of the Nation’s largest leading Marketing Companies, but now spends his time playing poker and blogging. James has always been a dreamer who aspired for the best he could achieve. As a high school athlete, James set his sights on winning a national wrestling championship (he actually finished second.) As a college student, James wanted to conquer the entertainment domain, and he quickly became the author of the most widely read “Advice Column” the school had ever seen. He started his first website, hit the clubs doing stand-up comedy and eventually landed an editorial position at Stuff Magazine down in NYC.

When the magazine went under, James made his corporate America debut. He was a successful manager and probably would have remained on the “corporate fast-track” if something wonderful had not happened. The economy tanked and the entire program James was managing evaporated.

Losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me. Going from having more money than free time to being broke and having all the time in the world gave me an opportunity to learn what was really important in life. It’s not cash, cars, or corporate America. What’s really important in life is freedom. Freedom you can only have if you spend everyday loving your life and chasing your dreams; life is too short for 7am conference calls. Somewhere along the line I just got sucked in by the earn-to-spend treadmill like so many people do, and I stopped dreaming. It was disgusting and depressing, 40+ hours a week is to much time to give up for “disposable income.” Now I wake up every day and I love what I do. A life not enjoyed is a life wasted.

Dave, 24, is also a recent graduate from the University at Albany, and has gained skills working in a number of fields ranging from Public Relations to Health & Fitness Services. In addition to being a co-creator of Alpha Mantra, Dave currently splits his professional time between a NYC Sports Marketing firm and one of the fastest growing gym franchises in the country.

Having the experience of living and working in New York City, the greatest city in the world, I know that the lessons I’ve learned are trumped only by the knowledge I’ve gained. I’ve have traveled much of this globe in my short time on this earth, and I plan on seeing the rest of it before I die. My goal is to provide information that will bring out the alpha male in you, no matter where in the world you are or what you’re trying to accomplish. Just like all of you, I am always taking strides to better myself and I hope to learn as much from you as you do from Alpha Mantra.

We thank you for taking the time to get to know our staff. We hope you’ll join the Alpha Mantra community so that we might get to know you better as well.

As we like to say, we’ll see ya at the top!
