cuffed toolkit

this isn’t a shopping list.
it’s the gear, books, and tools i actually use — the ones that earn their place because they work, last, and make the work better.
every item here is tested, trusted, and part of my process.

this page is alive. gear gets added, upgraded, or cut without warning. bookmark it, come back often, and see what’s earned its place — and what didn’t last.

we’re always looking for products and services that meet the same standard we demand in our own lives: quality, restraint, and integrity. if you believe your brand belongs here, reach out. inclusion in the cuffed toolkit is never purchased—it’s earned. every product is tested without influence, and only what we love makes the cut. when a new partner is selected, it comes with a full cuffed review and a 24–36 hour subscriber brand chat inside our substack—an unfiltered ama where our paid subscribers engage directly with the makers. feel free to email us at hello [at] cuffedmedia [dot] com.

gear | tech:

gear and tech aren’t toys. the right gear | tech makes you sharper, not noisier..

books | thinking:

most men escape into distraction. we go the other way—into study, thought, and stillness..

how to change your mind – michael pollan explores the science and history of psychedelics, from their potential to treat depression and addiction to their role in reshaping how we understand consciousness and dying. part investigative journalism, part personal journey, it’s a mind-expanding read that challenges old narratives with new research.
atlas shrugged: centennial edition – ayn rand’s epic novel of ambition, integrity, and the fight between creators and the forces that drain them. part mystery, part philosophy, it’s a story about what happens when the people who move the world decide to stop. a cornerstone read for anyone who values independence and vision.

man’s search for meaning – viktor frankl’s memoir and psychological study on finding purpose in the face of unimaginable suffering. drawn from his experiences in nazi concentration camps, it’s a timeless reminder that meaning — not comfort — is what carries us through.

software | platforms:

most men let apps use them. we use platforms like tools — precise, intentional, and never louder than the work itself. if it doesn’t sharpen focus, deepen connection, or scale execution, it doesn’t belong here..

metricool – an all-in-one social media and ads management platform that lets you plan, publish, and analyze from one dashboard. from content scheduling to competitor tracking, it keeps every platform moving in sync — and every post backed by data.

everyday carry:
