BE LIKE BOND at 55 Years Old | Operation: PINNACLE | 007 Experiences

Well, maybe not be EXACTLY like Bond, but my journey to capture the more aspirational aspects of James Bond has been an ongoing one...but in the lead up to my 55th Birthday I knew I had to amp up the intensity! Focusing on fitness, health, nutrition, career, community, and happiness, I set upon to create a new process to become the best version of myself. But did it work? Watch the experience using 007 moments to reshape turning 55 years old...

When David is not running an advertising and marketing company, his hobby is The Bond Experience which is primarily a video blog where he discusses Bond experiences and the people and brands that help to create those experiences...
The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

Craig brought his " A " game coming out of the water and inspired men all over the world.

I left Uni at 160 pounds fit as a fiddle, after a few years of work I ballooned to about 230 pounds. At Uni, I walked, cycled everywhere, couldn't afford fast food, had two part time jobs that were mostly on my feet as well as belonging to a cross country running team for the Uni team, then after graduation to a 9-to-5 job, where I drove into the office car park, sat all day, got drive through meals and when I got home, sat on a couch watching TV until bed, so looking back it was no surprise the weight piled on. That was hard to reverse the damage but I managed to get back down to 175 pounds, I took up hiking as well as a diet & daily exercise regime. I think James Bond was a massive influence on that journey.

Happy birthday. M.

Work is a killer. Well done for fighting back!

[@simoneravenda5252]

Iam 37 rite now, but lots of people always tell me that the real life for a man starts at 50, if ill b able to look like you when i'll reach that age i'am pretty sure that that advice was a real thing, keep the great work David 🍗🍗🍗🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪

[@dereklewis4321]

55 dang, man hasn't aged in a decade.

[@pd1323]

Bond aspirational living is a great scaffolding to build oneself. Far from a frivolous endeavour, Bond provides a creative male with the benchmark to visualise ultimate masculine success.

[@frederickooi392]

happy birthday David!! you look super fit man, great inspiration for me!

[@pupupupu7323]

Happy Birthday Mr. Bond from germany!

[@gordontweston]

Happy birthday! You don’t look near it. I’m 53 and my closest to Bond (apart from talking on phone to Sir Roger Moore in 1989) was when I lived on Lake Como in my little house in 2006 driving along the lake in my Almera(!) listening to ‘You Know My Name’ on my MP3 player 😆

[@pdfarrelly]

Snap, we share a birthday. Happy Birthday David.

[@colinhanna1640]

Every second of that was just open, honest and brilliant. That's very rare . Thanks David .

[@paullondon5332]

Hi David, happy birthday- I’m 60 and still on the Bond journey (and fitter than 40!)

[@shelleydiamond6468]

70 year old woman here & my fitness became a real priority for me after 2 children and in my 40's. Still a great priority ... you look great @ 55 David and will be for as long as you have the joy in it !

[@martinh8589]

This was a great video, thank you David. I can only aspire to look like you do at 55! I love your goal setting beyond just the physical and finding balance with everything else. Definitely some pearls of wisdom along the way too. I'm motivated!

[@johnsimmons831]

Goes to show that the journey is never perfectly linear. Peaks and valleys all the way. But if you persist, those valleys get a little shallower.

[@nickkambitis5340]

I’m 56 and when I’m out on a ride ( I cycle almost every day) in the rain or sunshine I think of all those guys my age stretched out on their sofas eating pizza vegetating on game shows or ice road truckers! And give myself a little smile! Fitness keeps your mind happy as well as your body. I’m always happy to take my shirt off on a beach knowing that I ‘don’t’ look like Daniel Craig, but I’m as fit as I can be! And happy. Love your honesty.

[@Mr.Wayne.1]

55? More like 45, David. You look amazing!💪 great video as always. Also Happy (late) Birthday

[@MrLucidjake]

[@greatwuta]

Happy Birthday David

[@markhollis8000]

Thank you David! I'm 52 and in recent months I have noticed quickness in muscle loss and I also have high blood pressure. I know there are a number of things to do, but I get despondent because of the age I am and I not in shape as I used to be many years ago. You have inspired that it is possible to feel, look and be better, and more energised. Many thanks!

[@alanaronald244]

Happy birthday you ageless Bondian, you!

Happy birthday David! Love this video, I found it very motivational. It's good every so often to take the time to reflect in life on where you are and where you want to be.

[@samuelwjjp]

Happy Birthday David! Thanks for the content and the awesome reviews, interviews and experiences you bring to the James Bond Community

[@seanwarren5613]

Happy Birthday David! Here's to Operation Pinnacle and the next 55 years..!!💪We should have had at least two more Bond films by then..

[@pd1323]

David I hear you say you don't take supplements. Did you know 50% Americans are deficient in magnesium, and a leading symptom of magnesium deficiency is anxiety/depression? As a nutritionist and someone on their own Operation Pinnacle, I would highly suggest you (and your wife) get a routine blood test to see how your nutrient levels look. I'm booking my mother in for one next month as I would rank in No.1 on list of importance moving forward on a quest for excellence. I hope you and others read this and it makes a difference. Something everyone should do at least every five years.

[@candidaprout2401]

Woah good advice

[@FehadBilgramiChannel1]

Happy Birthday mate; you have done really well keeping fit and healthy as well as keeping the channel going so well. The message from this video is brilliant and encapsulates what you are - authentically you. Bond is a great motivation; but you are a great example of your best self. Kudos!

[@maritimuse9127]

Happy birthday! Love the content

[@heikowallauer]

Happy Birthday, David! All the best wishes!

[@MrRichulan]

Happy birthday, and what an honest speech, which is inspirational for all of us!

[@daviddixon920]

Happy birthday to a TRUE hero....THANK YOU for giving us the kind of inspirational message we've been in need of lately.

[@BondRichBond]

What a fantastic video David. It perfectly captures various aspects of my life and the thoughts (and fears) that it appears, we all have. I thought it was only me that had a Bond dance/walk too…. 😁 👍

[@ae2350]

Happy Belated Birthday David! Always an inspiration!

[@yestoadventure007]

Sounds "Operation Pinnacle" was a complete success! Congratulations David, that was some wonderfully solid observations and insights. It's not the destination it's the journey and it matters how you feel, not how you look that is true measure of fitness. Much happiness and success on your continued journey and happy birthday!

[@jproog41]

Happy birthday!! Thank you for this video. And Tang! Love it. Had that a bit when I was a kid. Thanks for the info on your diet as well.

[@johnseeger9083]

Happy Birthday, David! I’m a few years older than you (ok, a dozen) and still work hard at fitness. I’m not as successful anymore, but any success is worth the effort! Cheers JR Seeger Old warrior/new novelist

[@Torment92121]

Happy birthday! This was the best Bond therapy. You give great advice on life with and beyond Bond. Thanks for reminding us how important balance is.

[@MAXdori]

You look great David! Don’t apologize for flexing up and being proud of what you’ve achieved physically. You have planted these ideas - this motivation in so many of us to push ourselves towards our best selves for where we are in life. Thank you and continued good health in all aspects of life and wellbeing!

[@thepa1]

Congratulations on operation pinnacle David. Your videos and podcasts are great motivation for me. Thank you. Hope you had a great birthday.

Happy birthday David. 55??? no way sorry thought you was younger. Keep up the great work Sir.

[@The123455021]

You look great James. I'm heading to Planet Fitness. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@RolandHulme]

I loved this video! It resonated pretty hard when you were talking about growing up with your grandmother as your neighbor and your Star Wars figures to keep you company. I grew up on a farm and it was exactly like that! My best friend was my dog! Also, at 4:55 - look what a Hollywood couple you both look like!

[@Visqo1]

This was very good. Thank you for bringing us your journey to become a better man

[@agent00asmr]

Great Video!! I am only three years behind you myself. And I really need to start a workout routine again. I loved the dancing around, because I will do that from time to time as a feel good thing. It kind of reminds me of Jack Lemmon. In almost all his movies he would do some kind of self dancing thing, goofing around, but just a feel good thing to do. It does make you feel good to just be a little quirky and not care. At our age I don't think it can be said enough!!! STRETCHING!! Stretch and stretch some more. I started throwing my back out a few years ago, and the stretching makes all the difference in the world.

[@rexryan472]

Great Vid David !

[@AnakinSkywalker-dr3gt]

Like your inspiration was and will always be Bond I've gotta say and i think i can speak in behalf of many people that follow you that you are an inspiration for us. Seeing a man in his 50s having so much care with how he looks and ages after all inspires me(a teen) to also try to be the best version of myself and take the best care of myself.( Clothing, style , physical form and just the way i carry myself) Thank you David!

[@martinbarrett6249]

Happy Birthday David. I’m a few years behind you but have fallen off of the fitness and healthy wagon recently and gotten comfortable too. I need to buck up and you’re the man to help me.

[@williamg.655]

Happy Birthday to you David, 👍....I'll be 54 in July. /007 for life ‼️Long time Sub here of the channel and I will always be tuned in from Columbus GA.

Happy birthday! David! Great video as always!

[@craigwright3792]

Happy delayed birthday David. That video was spot on. Hit 40 myself this year and everything you spoke about I could relate to. Keep up the great work. Always makes me smile.

[@jsadowski5]

Great video ! Thanks for the inspiration and happy birthday!🍸

[@markodell2379]

Happy Birthday! Always great to be reminded of the sentiment "its the journey not the destination". Ill be hitting 50 this summer and its a bit surreal but knowing you hit the best shape of your life at 53 gives hope.

[@TheBondReport]

1st and foremost, Happy Birthday brother, the discipline paid off. Mental Health plays so much more into Physical Health than most realize. Having a support system and surrounding yourself with good people that truly have the best intentions for you is a wonderful start. Love that Bowflex set, I just picked up a Kettle Bell recently and thats been a hug help for me. Great Video man, thank you for the tour.

[@libasan]

Happy birthday, David!

[@jerrymanas671]

Happy Birthday, David! This may just be your best video yet! Very inspiring and thought-provoking. I'm also glad I'm not the only schmuck doing a walk-dance around the house for exercise, lol. I'll be 63 in March and try to get a balance of cardio, planks, and, believe it or not, the old Bullworker from the 70s. I'm just trying to stay healthy and eat well so i'll be around a long time for my daughter. Funny you showed the Yasso bars. That's my occasional treat. I have weight to lose, but I'm headed in the right direction. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey. I found it fascinating and inspiring.

[@samfisher9070]

Happy Birthday, man. I will turn 57 on 02-02. Love this channel. Sending you STRENGTH & FOCUS!!!
