@Lendon Pope @Rhys Hall @Tah Whitty @Corbin Sellers just want to say thanks for letting me vent last night. I'm appreciative of this group and the concepts that give me some focus to move thru things like this. Until about a year ago when I started venturing into these types of spaces, I'd never been in any groups or really had friendships to share my stuff. My issues were mine alone. I met @Jared Johnson and started participating and found a whole new world where expression was OK and learned how much easier it is to process something by talking thru vs the old habit of push it down and forget about it. Thank you.

Hey Fellas. This week in The Expanse we have our monthly Community Call open to ALL Members tomorrow night Tuesday 4/21 @ 7pm CST. Hope to see as many of you there as possible. Feel free to share your intention for the week in the comments. Also I listed below some of the things I'm working on right now to roll out y'all to help us grow. 1. ManOS based intention tracker/'database'. For everyone to share their intentions and priorities and get support and accountability. 2. Accountability Partner 'database' so Men can connect with other Men on the topics they are exploring/navigating. 3. A group ManOS Lite challenge where we go through each of the 7 days of ManOS Lite. 4. A group fitness/exercise/'choose your own adventure' challenge. Drop in the comments your intention for the week and your thoughts on what you would most like to see in The Expanse. I'll start.

I'll Start...

First things first, we're wishing our friend and co-founder @Tah Whitty, and his beloved partner, easy passage to Spain today. Welcome our new members @Laurence Blenman, @Sushant Gupta and @Josh Trent. It's great to have y'all. Check the pinned posts for guidance on how to orient to the container. This Weeks Calls & Events: Tomorrow Night (Tuesday 2/10) we have our All Community call, open to all members at 7pm CST. Go to the Calendar tab for event and the call link. These calls (open to all members) will occur every 4 weeks. So come with questions, wins, gratitude and requests for support. Also Movement 2 (Intention) for ManOS drops tomorrow night. So for our premium members @Rhys Hall, @Jared Fenn & @Lendon Pope stay tuned for that. The next ManOS Call is scheduled for Tuesday 2/17 @ 7pm CST. Because our Man @Tah Whitty is now tuning in from a whole new time zone these call times are subject to change. So if there are specific days & times (before 5pm CST) that work for our participating members, feel free to send me a direct message. Lastly, I recently received word that a friend of a friend decided to Opt-Out of Life. The news served as a cold and stark reminder of why I'm doing what I'm doing. While I support someone's sovereignty and their decision to un-alive themselves, I also can't help but weep at the sadness that we as humans have created a society and a community where more people than ever are dropping out of Life (and disproportionately men). And seemingly have no-one to talk to about it. I Love Life too much and believe too strongly in the abundance of Love and Beauty not to want to experience it, share it, and help others see and feel it too. And for those who have lost sight of that Love & Beauty, be it due to hurt, pain, loss, deficit or any other form of violence and are contemplating Opting-Out of Life- if there is any part of you that wants to stay and keep playing the game, I AM HERE to play it WITH YOU.

Welcome to The Expanse. We’re glad you’re here. This is a grounded space for men who want more clarity and trust in how they move through life. Together. With other men. Men of all sizes, shapes, colors, races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, orientations, preferences, beliefs, and proclivities are welcomed and encouraged to be here. You don’t need to perform. You don’t need to posture. You don’t need to have it figured out. You do need to be willing to engage with honesty, responsibility, and respect. Our Core Skool Participation Values 1. Presence Over Performance We value real presence over polished takes. You don’t get points for sounding smart. You get traction by being honest. Short, imperfect, and true beats long, impressive, and disconnected. 2. Responsibility Without Shame We speak from our own experience, not about what others “should” do. Ownership is encouraged.Blame is unnecessary.Shame is not a teaching tool here. 3. Clarity Over Catharsis This is not a venting ground. Emotion is welcome.Clarity is the aim. Posts that move toward insight, awareness, or next action are the lifeblood of this space. 4. Together, Not Alone Lurking is allowed. Participation is encouraged. You don’t need to lead conversations to belong here.But this space works best when men are willing to witness and be witnessed. A simple “I relate” can be enough. 5. Quality Over Quantity We protect the signal. Posts that are thoughtful, specific, and grounded are prioritized.Low-effort, off-topic, or repetitive content may be redirected or removed to maintain coherence. This is how we respect everyone’s time. 6. Practice Over Theory Insight matters. Implementation matters more. We value: - What you noticed - What you tried - What shifted - What didn’t work Progress beats perfection. Engagement Principles (How We Use the Space) - Questions > Statements - Experience > Advice - Curiosity > Certainty - Dialogue > Monologue - Consistency > Intensity This is a living system. You're not here to consume content. You're here to install a way of relating to yourself and other men.
