Hi! I’m Sasha,
You’re probably wondering “What’s this whole Infinite Man thing about, eh?” Or maybe “what makes you an authority to teach me anything?” Or perhaps even “why should I bother reading what’s on this page?” All good questions! Allow me to share….. |
|
Well – I don’t really consider myself an authority on anything other than being myself – and I think I’m doing a really good job! I’m amazing that at it! And if anything, I’ve gotten good at inspiring others to just be themselves.
But – I wasn’t always an inspirational character.
In fact – I was far from it.
Over my life I’ve had plenty of hardships, low points, and close calls.
But, somehow I managed to get to the place I am at now. And it’s a good place.
I can honestly say that my default state is happy. I love my life. I know who I am, and know what I’m doing here, and I love doing it. I am extremely passionate about helping people – sometimes to a fault. I have amazing, deep, fulfilling relationships. My friends are amazing beings. If I want romantic relationships, the options are always there. I’m not mega rich, but I always seem to earn more money than I need. That’s not to say I don’t have challenges – I do. But I’m always smiling, even during the tough parts.
That about sums up where I’m at now and why I feel very good about helping others. It’s because getting to the place I am at was one HELL of a journey! And the journey is on-going.
So… I suppose for this whole company to make sense, I’d have to tell you my story. Because all I am really doing in this life is trying to impart some of the knowledge and direct experiences that have helped me on my way.

Where I'm Coming From and Why...
My story is an interesting (and crazy) one, but I’ll stick to the essentials.
I had a rough start. My mother had serious psychological problems and lots of trauma. I was the recipient of much psychological and physical abuse. My father left when I was a 3.
I was pretty much on my own and survived as best as I could. I ran away from home at 15… And hit a low point around 20 when I actually went on antidepressants for about 6 weeks.
20 years later… life is great!
So – what happened in between?
Well, a lot. And in that time I have attained certain knowledge and skills that allow me to help others change the course of their lives on the deepest level.
So – what’s that all about eh?
Well – the first principle that has really served me well in life (that most people lack) is SOCIAL FREEDOM!
What IS that?
Simply put – it is your ability to do what you want to do, and say what you want to say (to whoever you wish to say it to), without that little critic in your head stopping you.
I think we all know about THAT voice, do we not?
Part of Social Freedom includes our ability to ignore ALL outside influences when it comes to how we live our lives. At least, the ones that would (once again) stop us from expressing ourselves authentically. That means the media, the cultural programming, what your parents think, etc.
ALL of it.
Are you really living the life YOU want to be living (the real you)… rather than the lie you are “supposed” to be living?
That’s the million dollar question.
My Head Coach Mike Explaining My Concept of Social Freedom
I’ve met a handful of people who can look me in the eye and say “absolutely!”
Are you one of them?
If not, would you like to be? :)
If yes – keep on a reading!
If you’re wondering HOW I got that skill, there’s an answer to that too.
For a summary you can watch the first 60 seconds of this video below if you’d like...
A Summary of My Early Mindset (First 60 Seconds)
The short version is:
I started doing stand up comedy when I was 17, and never really stopped. That builds up quite a thick skin, as you can imagine.
Furthermore – In my 20’s I spent thousands of hours developing my Social Freedom while practicing my Direct Dating techniques. There are some old videos of that over here. Suffice it to say, I have conditioned myself to act decisively and take action – even in the face of fear.
Over the last 10+ years of coaching men to be socially fearless, I notice that this fearlessness transferred to every other part of their lives. That's why my main focus has shifted away from dating and towards fearless self-expression. You can check out our new workshops, such as Comedy Therapy, under the “Coaching” tab if you would like to explore those programs.
I would say my level of Social Freedom is one of my “Superpowers”… and I can guarantee you it is one worth pursuing ;)
This concept is always at play – and the deconditioning of “outside forces” is a very big factor for Infinite Man live events.
Healing & Authentic Self Inquiry
Another huge piece of my journey was healing work.
One thing that mainstream society doesn’t really address is the paramount importance of personal healing work. To most people, “healing” is something you do only when you are sick, or recovering from an acute condition. I broke my arm, and now I am healing. However, I’m talking about the healing that every single human being would benefit greatly from. I’m talking about the healing of all the traumas humans pick up through their lives and never address.
Being born is in itself a very traumatic experience. Many of the techniques used in hospitals are extremely jarring to newborns.
When we are very little, it takes doesn't take much to traumatize us – even thinking we’ve been abandoned by our mother for one moment is enough to leave a lasting scar.
And then…. everything else! Growing up. Parental Abuse. Taunting by kids. The feelings of inadequacy, doubt, angst that plague so many of us in our adolescent years.
Trauma is a real thing and is has a significant effect on the quality of our lives. Unfortunately, this is not something that is really address except under extreme cases (such as someone having PTSD coming from war, or a major accident).
The vast majority of people are content just covering up or distracting themselves from their pain, and dissatisfaction. And there are more and more options to choose from: sex/porn addiction, drugs, alcohol, the Internet, movies, video games, gambling, YOUR DEVICE... the list goes on and on.
We are left to figure it out ourselves.
Human beings are not even presented with the idea that healing is something we might be in need of.
But we are!
And so… embarking on this inner journey has been one of the most profound shifts in my life. I have tried many different modalities. Some have worked for me, and others have not. However, this personal journey has been – quite honestly – too profound for words. I cannot imagine the quality of life I would be experiencing if not for this aspect of my journey.
There are so many aspects to the healing journey...
Can you imagine what life is like on the other side of that?
Whew. It’s a relief!
So, my ability to get real about my pain, trauma, and anger… (we could say Authentic Self Inquiry) has allowed me to get some serious healing.
Have you begun yours? :)
In fact, there have been SO MANY PIECES in my journey the thought of sharing all of them on this page is a bit daunting.
Here’s a few of the big ones:
ANY one of the above shifts would be enough to significantly change the course and quality of one’s life.
But... All of ‘em? Well... I am not the same guy I was just a year ago…. Nevermind 20!

There are so many aspects to the healing journey...
- Letting go of thoughts that don’t serve us.
- Forgiving and making peace with those in our lives that have wronged us.
- Letting go of beliefs and programs that are holding us back.
- Understanding and learning the lessons from all the challenges that life has brought us.
- Being able to sit and be present without the mind needing to constantly rattle on.

Here’s a few of the big ones:
- Discovering and using the power of intention
- Reading high level spiritual books (just one book started it all!)
- Various forms of meditation & being able to quiet the mind
- Studying what reality is / how reality works / my relationship to it
- Intermittent fasting / dry fasting
- Cleaning up my diet, quitting chemicals, junk food, understanding Food combining principles
- Building the habit of a morning routine (including cold showers)
- Limiting my exposure to blue light and EMF signals
- Ending toxic relationships / relationships that were not in alignment
ANY one of the above shifts would be enough to significantly change the course and quality of one’s life.
But... All of ‘em? Well... I am not the same guy I was just a year ago…. Nevermind 20!

Infinite Man is the natural evolution of my life’s work. Helping people improve the quality of their lives – by changing the one thing we all have the power to change: Ourselves!
Every year at our Summit, I share what I can about where I am at in my journey. But, I also bring in other unique, amazing, inspirational, wild, unorthodox, EPIC humans that also love sharing their gifts!
What makes our events so unique is that they are experiential and interactive.
We won’t just have you sit there and listen to a bunch of speakers share knowledge. That would get pretty boring pretty fast.
No... We always have various games / exercises / activities that are not only a great time – they will challenge you to push your comfort zones and connect much deeper! Not only with the other attendees and speakers… They will show you how to connect with yourself!
Our Summit events include breathwork, meditation, yoga, and various partner/group games. In all honesty, it’s more of a festival than a speaking event.
No two events are ever the same. In fact, even I don’t always know exactly what’s going to happen! Speaker slots are reserved, but we leave plenty of time open to go with the flow, and adapt to the energy of the participants.
One thing I noticed ever since starting on this healing path of my journey, is that the quality of the people that show up to our events has gone up every year! More men (and women) are waking up to the fact that THEY are in charge of the direction of their lives. It’s people who are taking responsibility and consciously working towards bettering themselves – and therefore making the world a better place for all of us.
But one thing that DOESN’T seem to change is the energy in the room. It’s SO positive! There is just SO much love! As crazy as it may sound, you can FEEL it. Just being in the field has an effect. That is part of the reason that so many guys have breakthroughs at the events. It’s the combination of the quality of the speakers, attendees, and the intention behind the event....
