Rich Mallinson reviews the first ever Empower Network event, memorably named Don't Be A Wussy, with the specific nervous energy of someone crossing the Canadian border worried a customs officer might ask him to explain the name out loud, before settling into an actual account of meeting founders David Wood and David Sharpe in person.

Sports writing fills out the rest of the blog, tracking Lance Armstrong's ban from Ironman France over USADA doping charges and, in an earlier post, celebrating his win in Honu, Hawaii as proof his first triathlon win was no fluke, timing that reads oddly once you know how the doping story ended. A review of the movie Morning Glory pulls a business lesson from the film's message that grit and determination can outweigh a thin resume, treating a mainstream romantic comedy as a genuine source of insight rather than a stretch.

Read the event review for a firsthand account of Empower Network's earliest days. The Armstrong posts are worth reading as a snapshot of a story that had not yet finished unfolding.
