Published: Nov. 25, 2021, 12:52 a.m.


\nWhy do men (even when we succeed) often struggle to enjoy our daily lives?
\nWhat are we missing on our endlessly futile \u201cpursuit of happiness\u201d?
\nWhat are the key ingredients for a deeply fulfilling life?
\n
\nIn this episode, I mine these questions and more for useful insights to make a meaningful difference in your life.
\nBecause in this episode, I\u2019m going to dive into the 5 Pillars of a Thriving Man.
\nThese 5 pillars came to me a few years ago on a cabin retreat in the mountains with my oldest friend, Tait. We\u2019d traveled up a windy road to a gorgeous mountain area 90 minutes northeast of Los Angeles known as Lake Arrowhead, to do some deep reflection together on our lives. We were both maybe 43 at the time, living on opposite coasts, he in North Carolina and I in California, both partnered to amazing women, both doing meaningful work with significant positive impact on countless people\u2019s lives, and yet somehow we were also both awakening to deep pangs of loneliness.\xa0
\nSo we went up to this cabin with my canine companion, Yellowjhan, for a weekend of food, fire, laughter, and reflection.\xa0
\nWhat I didn\u2019t expect was that my stepping more fully into leading men\u2019s work, and this podcast, \u201cMen, This Way,\u201d would be born out of that weekend. What I didn\u2019t expect was that just a few years later, Tait and I would be stepping up together to launch a year-long coaching journey for men called, ELEVATE 2021 \u2026 which we are now wrapping up with the 10 courageous men who joined us on that incredible adventure this past year, and we are now already into booking ELEVATE 2022 \u2026 and we\u2019ve already got 7 men enrolled for that with just 5 spots left!\xa0
\nSo actually, I\u2019ll tell you more about this, because the adventure begins soon, and indeed without doing any advertising for it, we\u2019re already down to only 5 spots left at the time of recording this \u2026\xa0
\nSo here it is \u2026 If you\u2019re a man committed to thriving in every domain of your life, I invite you on a year-long journey to make 2022 an extraordinary year. Whether you want to make a massive shift in your professional life, connect to and truly live your deepest purpose every day, or maybe you want to improve the quality of your intimate relationship experiences, or learn to be more present with your family, or perhaps you\u2019re simply ready to make profound shifts in how you show up for yourself, for your own deep well-being.
\nWhatever specific dreams or goals or intentions or desires you\u2019re shooting for, what I\u2019m inviting you into is an adventure that can help you achieve it, by transforming your relationship with yourself. Because you should know, the only thing keeping you from experiencing the freedom in life you crave \u2026 is you.
\nHere\u2019s the opportunity: I\u2019m inviting only 12 men to coach with me for an entire year \u2013 which includes personal coaching and an intimate men\u2019s group experience with the other 11 men going through this year alongside you. These men, perhaps including you, I am ultimately selecting. I want this to be a curated group of men that I myself would be excited to spend the year with \u2026 because that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ll be doing, spending this entire year with you. We\u2019ll also all meet in person for a 5-day retreat in a beautiful nature location in June. Through this experience these men, and I, will become your brothers for life. You will be both challenged to go beyond your comfort zone, and celebrated as you step more fully into offering your soul-gifts to the world, whatever that looks like for you. Also, best part, I think, is it includes consistent on-demand video access throughout the year to me and this exclusive brotherhood.
