Welcome.
My name is Theophilus X—but you can call me Theo.
I write on the subject of self-mastery and leadership development through the lens of the Warrior–Philosopher–King archetype—a timeless vision of strength, wisdom, and virtue.
Through my writing, I reflect on the meeting place of theology, philosophy, and leadership, seeking to help leaders cultivate wisdom, virtue, and eloquence so they can fulfill their calling and live what the ancients called the Good Life.
This space is where I wrestle with big questions about faith, purpose, meaning, and how we can lead with courage and integrity in a restless world. My hope is that what you find here challenges your thinking, nourishes your spirit, and inspires you to live—and lead—more deeply.
