This question is captured from The Remarkable Man Newsletter on LinkedIn And Substack. The Question: "My son is in his early 20s now. We've been estranged for eight years. His mother had an affair, and instead of being accountable, through the courts, I was painted as dangerous and blocked from seeing him and his sister. She poisoned them against me while I fought to rebuild my life from nothing as she got everything in the divorce. Now that he's an adult, I've reached out to reconnect, but he won't respond. How do I heal this so he knows the truth, and I can be the father and role model he actually needs?" - Jackson P. Prince George BC. Coach's Answer: Brother, first, the fact that you're still reaching out after eight years of silence and a false narrative tells me everything I need to know about the father you actually are. Here's the reframe that matters most: your son's silence right now is not a verdict on the truth. It's a symptom of the story he was raised with after he last saw you. For eight years, his understanding of you was shaped almost entirely by one source (an angry, bitter and vindictive source) during the years he had the least ability to question it. That's not a character flaw in him, that's what happens to a child's mind when it only has one narrator. Trying to correct the story head-on, right now, will likely backfire. He hasn't asked for the truth yet, he's not ready to hold it, because holding it means re-examining his entire childhood and a parent he still depends on emotionally. Pushing the truth on him before he's asked for it can read as an attack on his mother, and he will protect the parent who raised him, even against his own curiosity. Instead: - Lead with consistency, not trying to rush to correcting it. Low-pressure, no-strings contact like a birthday message, a short note, slowly becomes an open door. When it is sustained over time, it does more than any single conversation of, "Here's what really happened." - Let him come to the questions. When he's ready, he will start wondering why the story doesn't fully add up. That's when the truth will land. It does not happen when it's delivered on your timeline, but when it's sought by his.

Brothers, I need to be straight with you. I started The Remarkable Man Project because I believe the world is desperate for men who lead, men who show up fully for their families, their communities, and themselves. That mission hasn't changed. But I've been running this community the wrong way. I've been showing up every week to an empty room. I've been posting, engaging, trying every technique to spark something real here. And it's growth or lack there of falls on my shoulders. So I take full responsibility for that. As well, we all know - a free group doesn't create committed men. It creates spectators. And you deserve better than that. So do I. (If Reading This In Your Email: For Live Links Click the "View Post" Button Below) So I'm making a big move. 1. RMP is going Public - I am transitioning this group from Private to Public on the Skool platform. - Why?: To reach more men who are wanting a life-line in the "modern malaise" we find ourselves in. Skool and Google push content and promote public communities. This group will now serve as a searchable, high-value resource hub for men worldwide to discover the principles of the Remarkable Man beyond the limited bubble I created. - The Benefit: A larger influx of new energy, more perspectives, and a broader network. It becomes our "Front Porch." - You'll still receive the latest content, tools, resources, but with a growing community. - Join a pop up "Coffee Hour" in the weeks ahead. 2.🔥 INTRODUCING: THE REMARKABLE MAN INNER CIRCLE For those of you who have been waiting for the "How" - the implementation, the blueprints, and the direct access to me, I am officially launching the Remarkable Man Inner Circle. This is where the real work happens. Starting April 10th, the Remarkable Man Inner Circle becomes my primary community - a paid brotherhood for men who are done dabbling and ready to do the work and who want access to the Remarkable Man Framework - The 4 Pillars, and a higher level of accountability.

I am honoured to welcome you to The Remarkable Man Project. This is where you introduce yourself to the group! Right here right now. Don't procrastinate or tell yourself you'll get back to it. Just get it done now. 1) Tell us your name 2) Where you are from. 3) Your age 4) What you do 5) Your relationship status 6) How many kids? (If you have them) 7) How we can be best support you here in the RMP Community? (don't plug your business or opportunity) 8) Be sure to include a picture(s) that represents your life. As well, check here daily to welcome new members. Let them feel the love and the brotherhood! I get we all have busy lives, but as a new member or existing member I want to challenge you to play all-in. The Rules And Guide Lines: 1) Participate - Like anything you get out of life what you put in. So comment, like, and share your truth to the men in the community. The more you do, the more points you will receive! As you climb the leaderboard you'll unlock cool bonuses, videos, and resources to help you BE the remarkable man you desire. 2) No Spamming or self promotion- I know many of you are passionate about your product or service but this is not the forum for that. This also included private messaging fellow members about your services. If you are doing this practice, your membership will be deleted. 3) Keep this a safe space - Every man is going through his own challenges, pain and hardship. Be open, compassionate and accepting as to where they are at on the journey. We are all in this together and together we rise. 4) No Political or Divisive memes or conversation starters - We get that the world is in a dumpster fire right now, and the world is very divided, but let's keep the topics or leadership, empowerment, support, relationships, fatherhood, and being brothers to each other. This is not "The Average Man Project" so don't be average in your engagement and participation. You know how that "meh" energy plays out in most areas of your life.
