There's no exact amount of hard work that will guarantee
success. We often get caught up on what success really is but if we
can change that focus to 'hard work done consistently equals
progress' then we're sure to be better than
yesterday. - Matt Vincent

HVIII (sound
it out: H+Roman Numeral 'VIII') is a strong term that many
will find negative. Good. So do I. I refuse to not get better.
It is not an option. I will make the sacrifices necessary to be the
best. This attack on the self is necessary because if I don’t
train every day with the intention of destroying the old me,
then I’m missing something. This is the fire I feel, that I
want you to feel. This is the fire, the hate, the motivation
for improvement.
HVIII Brand Goods is a lifestyle brand that is based on a very
simple philosophy: Turn negativity into positive results. Everyone
has doubts, everyone worries about just how much they can
accomplish. Don't hide from those thoughts; let them drive you.
Find adventure, chase strength, build something. Whatever you
choose to do, put your whole self into it and enjoy yourself in the
process. The process is everything.
At HVIII Brand Goods, we make apparel and
accessories with an emphasis on style and quality. Every item we
create starts with a basic idea: Is this something we would want
for ourselves? If the answer is 'yes' then we obsess over getting
it just right so we can share it with you. Carrying the HVIII
Brand Goods message on your body is a statement of support, and we
take that seriously. Loyalty above all. You deserve our best,
and we attack every day with the purpose of giving it to you.

Power Quotes From The Show
"I'm not obligated to train; I get to train. You can't outsource
progress. If you want to become stronger, more fit, and healthy,
all of that takes time and you get to put the time into it."- Matt
Vincent @matSOawesome on @WellnessForce Radio episode 240

"No one owes you success; the universe doesn't care. If this is
what you want, you do it but you do it for yourself and nobody
else. Quit focusing on the mindset of, 'If I just get there, all of
this will be okay,' because there is no 'there;' it's all just a
journey and a process. So, learn to live in that because that's
where we are now." - Matt Vincent
"'At some point, we have to realize that pain and
trauma are not a competition.' Everyone is dealing at 100% all
the time for them. People are just doing the best they can with the
tools they're given." - Matt Vincent quoting David
Choe.
"Knowing yourself is so important. You have to dive into the
dark parts of yourself. Pretending they don't exist doesn't make
them not exist. If you've got darkness, that's okay. You don't get
to experience the good without the bad." - Matt
Vincent
"I don't want me to care more about your success than you do.
That can't work; you have to care and be the one to instill it in
you that this is the standard, this is the line that we hold, and
this is non-negotiable. You have to hate yourself enough to do the
work. Good enough isn't good enough today. Perform when it counts
and like anything else, that's a knife that can be
sharpened." - Matt Vincent
" 'Comparison is the thief of joy.' Own your work and
do it for you. If you're doing it for someone else, that's not
sustainable either." - Matt Vincent
