WHO IS NICO LAGAN:

Nico Lagan is a men's coach, an entrepreneur, a Muay Thai instructor, podcaster and sales professional. He strives to help men achieve their personal legends by becoming strong men. Nico grew up without the guidance of a strong masculine figure. It sent him on the search for a mentor. Not knowing what he was looking for, he associated with and idolised the wrong men. His decision to have a teen to quit school and sell drugs led him on the wrong path.

Nico just finished writing his first book entitled “You’re a good man, now what?”. Aimed at men between the ages of 35 to 45 who already possess The 5 Virtues of a good man. Provider, protector, courage, temperance and faith. Now facing an existential crisis referred to by many as the mid life crisis, these men are realising that they are one day going to die. Begging the question, is there something more than the daily grind? This book explains what this is all about and how the solution is to find purpose. Purpose is the antidote! Stay tuned for the official release.

Today Nico uses what he’s learned from past mistakes and his skills as a communicator to help men become good men, strong men. His life experiences and knowledge has allowed him to develop the becoming a strong man program.
