I believe in the discipline of mastering the best that other people have figured out. I don’t believe in just sitting down and trying to dream it all up myself. Nobody’s that smart. – Charlie Munger

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by—I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Ben Neill, and I’m a full-time Performance Coach based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a focus on nutrition, exercise science, and overall wellness. My passion lies in helping people unlock their full potential—physically, mentally, and emotionally—through movement, mindful eating, and disciplined living.

But this blog isn’t a sales pitch or a polished highlight reel. It’s something deeper—and a little more raw.

Why I Started This

This project began as a personal pursuit. A space for me to think out loud, explore ideas, and put pen to paper (or fingers to keys) as I chase after personal mastery in areas like health, fitness, biohacking, performance psychology, and philosophy.

“I write in the hopes of discovering what I’ve yet to learn.” – Me
(A riff on Flannery O’Connor’s: “I write to discover what I know.”)

That’s the heart of this blog. It’s selfish, sure. But it’s also honest.
I’m not writing to go viral. I’m writing to grow. If these thoughts resonate with you, challenge you, or even just make you pause for a moment, that’s a bonus.

Who This Is For

If you’re someone who:

• values self-improvement over shortcuts,

• believes health is foundational to everything,

• and enjoys blending the practical with the philosophical—

…then you’re in the right place.

And if you’re just here out of curiosity? Welcome. Read what you want, skip what doesn’t land, and take what’s useful with you.

A Quick Disclaimer

I’m not claiming to have it all figured out. These ideas—whether rooted in science, experience, or ancient wisdom—are often too complex for one person to fully grasp. What I share here is simply the best I can offer with what I know now.

You’ll find quotes, research, and reflections scattered throughout—not to prove I’m right, but to enrich the conversation.

“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.”

– Cyril Connolly

Life Outside the Work

Outside the coaching, the writing, and the reading, I’m blessed with an incredible wife who makes magic in the kitchen (yes, her baked goods deserve their own website), and a spirited Weimaraner puppy named Luna, who keeps us humble, active, and constantly sweeping the floors.

Final Thoughts

This blog is a living thing. It will evolve as I evolve.
Some posts will be practical. Others will be messy. All of them are honest.

I appreciate you taking the time to be here.
Read what challenges you. Revisit what inspires you. And keep asking questions.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

– Ben
