Where it all started
Three decisions
Three moments where I chose a path — instead of waiting for permission.

Autumn 2017 · I can't go on like this
There was a vision. Discipline — there was not.
I kept reacting to what gave instant gratification. Instead of what produced results. I knew: in ten years I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't take the path I believed was right.
I cut everything off. Left for the countryside — to my own "Shaolin monastery." 88 days. Alone. Wake-up every morning at 4:44. Training, 8 hours of reading daily, NLP, working on my speech. Two months after returning — found a partner, created conditions, delivered my first full training. Tasted what it means.
"The fear of achieving nothing turned out to be stronger than the fear of change."

2019 · A blow to the heart
Obstacles? No — opportunities.
My heart started failing. I went to the hospital myself — because I could no longer function normally. IV drips. Restrictions. Forbidden to train. Dependent on medication with risks without it.
I listened. Thanked them. Decided otherwise. Not out of stubbornness — out of conviction. I understood the link between psychological state and physical recovery. 7 years of working on myself — now my heart rate is that of an elite athlete. Heart stronger than it could have been.
"My body — my project. My brain — the main instrument."

2020 · Born again
You create your own myth.
The year I changed my name. Not because the old one was bad — but because I build my own story.
If we can choose everything — our work, values, way of thinking — then why not what we're called? Ares — from Greek: strength, will, action. Bragi — from Norse: wisdom, word, depth. Two energies that shouldn't exist in one person. That's exactly why I took both.
"Who said you have to live with someone else's script? Even if that script is your own name."

The fear of living below your potential is stronger than any fear of change. That's what drives me. We'll find your driver together.
