We've all had that moment. You're hungry. You've had a long day and you know there's something healthy that you could make, but you just don't have it in you. That's usually when things go off the rails. For me, eating healthy isn't a willpower problem. It's a set up problem. And that's why I use Factor. On weeks when we've got a lot going on, Factor takes the pressure off. It's fully prepared meals designed by dieticians and cooked by chefs, deliver right to your door fresh, you just heat it up in two minutes, and then you eat. My go-to, I love it. It's the filet mignon. It fits right into my routine, solid protein, good portion, and it actually tastes like real food, not diet food. They've got over 100 rotating meals each week so you don't get bored, and it's ready in about minutes no grocery runs no prep no cleanup i use this i love factor you should use it too

What if this doesn't work?

What if nobody buys anything? I remember that feeling well when we launched the Art of Manliness store. You're putting something out there and hoping it connects. One thing that made it easier was using Shopify. We've used it for years now to run the AOM store and it handles everything behind the scenes so we can focus on the actual stuff we do, the content we do in AOM and the products we sold. Shopify is the commerce

platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S.

From big brands to smaller operations like ours. It lets you manage everything in one place,

inventory, payments, analytics, without having to stitch together a bunch of different

tools. It also helps you reach customers with built-in email and social media tools,

and that shop pay checkout makes a real difference. Fewer abandoned carts, more completed purchases.

It's time to turn those what-ifs into success with Shopify today. Sign up for your $1 per month

trial of the day at Shopify.com slash manliness.

Go to Shopify.com slash manliness. That's Shopify.com slash manliness.
