About AlphaMode

Look, we get it. The internet is full of generic lifestyle sites that read like they were written by a committee of robots who once skimmed a magazine at a dentist's office. That's not what we're doing here.

AlphaMode started in 2024 when a few friends realized that all the stuff we actually talked about over beers — cars we'd sell a kidney for, investment strategies that aren't total nonsense, workout routines that don't require living at the gym, gadgets that genuinely make life better, and the kind of internet rabbit holes that make you snort-laugh at your desk — didn't really have a home online. At least not one that felt like it was written by actual human beings.

So we made one. AlphaMode is a men's lifestyle site for guys who are curious about the world and don't mind laughing at themselves along the way. We write about cars and motorcycles because, honestly, few things beat the feeling of a perfectly tuned engine. We cover personal finance because we've all made dumb money mistakes and figured some of you might want to skip a few of those. We talk fitness because nobody wants to throw out their back picking up groceries at 35. And we throw in plenty of humor because life is too short to be serious all the time.

What We Believe

Every article on this site goes through a simple test: Would we actually send this to a friend? If the answer is no, it doesn't get published. We don't do clickbait (okay, maybe a little), we don't do rage-bait, and we definitely don't do boring. Our writers have actual experience in the things they write about — whether that's rebuilding a carburetor, running their first marathon, losing money in crypto (we've all been there), or discovering a $30 kitchen gadget that legitimately changed how they cook.

The Team

We're a small crew of writers, gear nerds, amateur athletes, and self-taught investors scattered across the United States. Our lead editor, Jake Holden, has been writing about cars and men's culture for over a decade. The rest of the team brings expertise in personal finance, fitness coaching, consumer technology, and an unhealthy knowledge of sports trivia. We don't pretend to be experts at everything — but we know our lanes, and we stay in them.

Why "AlphaMode"?

Not that kind of "alpha." We're not here to sell you on some toxic hustle-culture fantasy. AlphaMode is about being the best version of yourself — whatever that looks like for you. Maybe that's finally learning how compound interest works. Maybe it's finding a workout you actually enjoy. Maybe it's just reading something funny on your lunch break that makes the rest of the day suck a little less. That's the mode we're talking about.
