15 Men Who Blog That You Should Follow Part 2

In the first installment of 15 Men Who Blog, I included people such as Brett McKay, Tim Ferriss, The Minimalists, Richard Branson and several others. (Read the post here.)

Knowing there are many men who are blogging or have their own website who are working to help support and empower other men, I knew there would have to be a 15 Men Who Blog Part 2. I reached out to my readers to ask for suggestions and they…you…came up with some good ones. I received many ideas through the comments and on my Twitter page. Thank you.

Two questions came up again and again- Why are there no women on the list? and Why isn’t Tony Robbins on the list?

There are no women on the list because the list is 15 MEN who blog. There are already many articles about women who blog. You can find them easily with a quick Google or Bing (AKA Yahoo) search. “But that makes you sexist”, said more than one person. No more so than the woman who writes about other women who blog. How is it different? It is not. Women working to empower other women is no different than men working to empower and uplift other men.

The other question was why I left Tony Robbins off the list. I would love to say there was a reason such as it gave me an excuse to write Part 2. Frankly, I did not know he had a blog until a reader told me. (Sorry Tony. I am on it now.)

And so without further ado, below is a list of 15 men who blog that you should be following to help you step up your game. In no particular order I give you…

Lifestyle of the Unemployed blog

Lifestyle of the Unemployed
From the About Me page:
30 years old. Male. Live by the beach in Southern California. Unemployed since November 2011.

When I graduated college, I immediately went to Wall Street to work my dream job as an investment banker. At first it was great. Lots of money, free dinners, limo rides home from work. Then I realized that all the perks in the world couldn’t justify working 16 hour days.
So I quit.

I moved to Southern California with the goal of getting the most out of life. Now, I travel three to four times a month, surf as often as I can, and spend time with people who are genuinely interesting. When I need a little cash, I’ll still take on a private equity gig. But most of that work is outsourced through websites like Odesk.com, so I end up working only a few days a month. Does that make me unemployed? I don’t know. But I’m hardly your typical 9 to 5’er.

If you’re ready to live the Lifestyle of the Unemployed, read the The 4-Hour Workweek. It’ll be the best investment you ever make. This blog is meant to motivate. It contains articles to teach, quotes to inspire, photos to dream and cocktails…well, I just love drinking cocktails.
