James O'Keefe is the guy behind @UnguardedWarrior @jamesokeefenrg who has one of the most powerful stories of someone turning their life around to have an epic impact on others. Coming from a background which would have got him killed if he continued to truly becoming a leading expert in men's mental health from breathing, cold water work and more, this is NOT to be missed.
