"Forget the superhero fantasy—this is about the real Hero's Journey you're already on, whether you realize it or not."

 ★★★★★
"For the generation that normalized therapy but still feels empty"

Here's what they don't tell you after all that inner work: Your boss still sucks, bills still need paying, and your authentic self still needs a LinkedIn profile.

So you've done the shadow work, found your values, discovered your purpose. Brilliant. Now try living them in a performance review. Welcome to the real final boss: staying true to yourself while keeping your job.

Mask Up is the third book in the Modern Hero Series Lee swore he'd never write - because honestly, who wants to admit they still struggle to balance soul work with spreadsheets? Yet here we are, exploring the messy reality of being spiritual beings with material needs, where morning meditations get interrupted by Slack notifications and our values get tested by profit margins.

Drawing from his journey as the "Gypsy Boxer" - an alter ego born from desperation when he needed to eat but couldn't afford to lose himself - Lee offers a psycho-spiritual approach to professional survival. This isn't about choosing between success and soul; it's about the exhausting, necessary art of being both authentic and employed.

What You'll Learn:

  • The Mask Up Method - how to consciously wear the performance mask business demands without forgetting there's a real person underneath
  • Method Acting for Capitalism - playing the professional role without becoming the character
  • How to know when you're wearing the mask vs. when the mask is wearing you - the critical difference
  • Boundary Setting That Won't Get You Fired - protecting your soul while meeting your KPIs
  • Values-Based Negotiation - getting what you need without becoming what you hate
  • The Art of Strategic Authenticity - when to be real and when to play the game
  • Success Metrics That Actually Matter - redefining winning in both worlds
  • Energy Management for Double Agents - surviving as a spiritual being in corporate spaces

This Book Is For You If:

  • You've done the inner work but Monday morning still arrives
  • You know your values but your rent doesn't care
  • You're tired of choosing between spiritual integrity and financial stability
  • You're a rebel entrepreneur trying not to become what you rebelled against
  • You're a reluctant corporate warrior protecting your soul in cubicle land
  • You wonder if you can manifest abundance without becoming an arsehole

Fair Warning:

Written by someone who still gets triggered in business meetings despite years of shadow work. Contains admissions of crying in car parks after client calls, the ongoing struggle to not let ego run the show when money's involved, and zero guarantees that enlightenment will improve your quarterly reports.

This isn't "how to spiritually bypass your way to success" or "manifest your dream job through positive thinking." It's the unglamorous reality of walking in two worlds - being deep AND dealing with spreadsheets, honoring your soul AND hitting your targets.

Side effects may include: Setting boundaries that confuse colleagues, success that actually feels good, charging what you're worth without guilt, and the humbling realization that "living your purpose" still involves expense reports.

You've gone deep. You've got the tools. Now here's how to surface in the professional world without getting the bends.

Get Mask Up and learn to thrive professionally without losing your soul

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the books about?

From humiliating reality TV disasters and prizefighting with the Australian carnival, to UFO encounters in Mexican jungles and energy vortexes in the Arizona desert, Lee discovered that genuine transformation happens in the places we least want to look. The shadow. The mess. The parts of yourself you've been taught to hide.


📘 Book 1: Leeway: Emerging Through The Modern Hero's Journey is the guide he wishes someone had handed him in his twenties - when he was lost, living by everyone else's rules, and didn't even know that the answers were buried in the very darkness he was running from. Part memoir, part roadmap, Lee shares both the map and the mess of what real inner work looks like.

Drawing from ancient seafaring wisdom, he introduces "LeeWay" - the extra space sailors needed when winds pushed them sideways. You need that same space when life pushes you off course. Through his stumbling path, he offers a refreshingly honest psycho-spiritual lens - one grounded in psychology and ancient wisdom, but always filtered through lived experience and British skepticism.


📕 Book 2: Becoming a Modern Hero

Too many of us spend years eating the menu instead of the meal.

Devouring self-help books, attending workshops, collecting insights like trading cards, yet still feeling empty. Lee should know - his bookshelves are groaning with every guide to enlightenment ever written, and he's still working on actually living what they preach.

This book is the meal. The actual tools for digging.

If Book One (Leeway) showed you the map into your depths, this is the shovel. The flashlight. The practical gear you need when you're ready to stop reading about transformation and start doing the actual work in the darkness.

Becoming A Modern Hero is the no-nonsense companion that bridges the gap between inspiration and action. Not because Lee has transcended the menu-eating trap - he hasn't - but because he's finally documented what actually helps when you catch yourself consuming wisdom rather than embodying it.


📒 Book 3: Maskup: The Modern Hero's Guide to Walking in Two Worlds

Here's what they don't tell you after all that inner work: Your boss still sucks, bills still need paying, and your authentic self still needs a LinkedIn profile.

So you've done the shadow work, found your values, discovered your purpose. Brilliant. Now try living them in a performance review. Welcome to the real final boss: staying true to yourself while keeping your job.

Mask Up is the third book in the Modern Hero Series Lee swore he'd never write - because honestly, who wants to admit they still struggle to balance soul work with spreadsheets? Yet here we are, exploring the messy reality of being spiritual beings with material needs, where morning meditations get interrupted by Slack notifications and our values get tested by profit margins.

What topics do the books cover?

Through embarrassing stories, weird experiences, and actual shadow work the Modern Hero books cover:

  • Digging Deep - Into the shadows you've been avoiding
  • Embracing Your Ego - Work with your inner critic instead of against it
  • Breaking Free - From scripts you never chose
  • Meeting Your Self - the authentic you beneath everyone else's expectations
  • Uncovering Your Real Values - What actually matters to YOU, not what you've been told should matter
  • Making Values-Based Decisions - from YOUR truth
  • Finding Purpose & Meaning - What naturally emerges when you live from your values
  • Serving - Contributing from wholeness, not performance
Who are the books for?

These books are for anyone who's consumed tons of self-help and manifestation content but still feels stuck, wants to understand why surface-level positivity isn't working, or is ready to do the actual inner work with structure and honesty (plus British humour).

  • You sense there's something deeper holding you back (but don't know where to start digging)
  • You're exhausted from living by everyone else's expectations
  • Surface-level solutions feel like Band-Aids on deeper wounds
  • You've tried manifesting but nothing seems to stick
  • You want a guide who admits he's still figuring it out too
What should I expect from these books?

Fair Warning: This isn't another success story dressed up as advice. It's the actual journey into the depths - weird, uncomfortable, occasionally hilarious, and surprisingly necessary. Contains British humor, interdimensional experiences, and zero guru energy.

No promises of overnight transformation. Just an honest map of what happens when you finally stop running from your shadows and turn to face them instead.

The tree that grows tallest has the deepest roots. The books show you what it's really like to dig.

What are the Modern Hero book series about?

The Modern Hero Collection explores how going into your inner darkness - the parts you've been avoiding - creates authentic transformation. It bridges psychology and ancient wisdom into practical steps for finding your real values and building a life from them, not from scripts others gave you.

How Do the Books Work Together?

Book One (Leeway) takes you on the journey into the depths - sharing the map and the mess of what real inner work looks like. Through ridiculous stories and spectacular failures, you'll see that transformation isn't pretty, but it's worth it.

Book Two (Becoming A Modern Hero) gives you the actual tools for digging. Because Lee finally admitted what every self-help junkie knows: we've been eating the menu instead of the meal. This is the meal - the practical exercises and techniques that help you digest transformation into real change.

What Exactly is Included in the Toolkit?

📘 Book 1: LeeWay - The Map ($19.95 value)
📕 Book 2: Becoming A Modern Hero - The Tools ($19.95 value)
💾 Digital versions of both books
🎁 Algorithm Resistance Toolkit (3x PDF's)
✨ Total Value: $39.90 → Your Price: $29.95

Are the books based on science or spirituality?

All books in the Modern Hero Collection draws from both - they're psychospiritual. You get practical psychology, ancient wisdom, and classic mythology, all filtered through lived experience and healthy skepticism.

How are the books different from other self-help books?

Unlike books that promise transformation through positive thinking or manifestation techniques, this collection shows what they're missing: you have to go into the depths first. It includes the author's spectacular failures, admits he still struggles, and gives you both the map (Book One) and the actual tools (Book Two) for real change.

Can I apply the content in the books if I'm new to inner work?

Absolutely. The books build from the ground up, explaining concepts like shadow work without requiring prior knowledge. If you can handle honesty and some witty British humor, you're ready.

When will I see results?

Great question. And anyone who gives you a timeline is being dishonest. The truth is this kind of work never really stops. It's about going into your depths and integrating parts of youself you don't yet know, not checking boxes. Some insights hit immediately, some take years to digest. There's no such thing as a quick fix. That's the point.

What if I'm not satisfied with the books?
