The Trap of "Doing It All"
I used to believe that as a man on my own, I had to do everything. And that belief was costing me the one life I have. I can still picture those late nights, grinding away at the office. I was crushing my goals, and my bank account looked solid. I'd get home, toss my keys in the bowl, and the clink would just echo in the dark apartment. I was the one driving the mission, paying the bills, planning the future, and holding myself accountable. There was no one else to pick up the slack. I had optimized everything... except the man in the mirror. I was building this financial empire but my physical temple was crumbling. I was so focused on building a Vault for my future, I forgot to build a life for my present. That's a lonely, hollow feeling. I learned that "doing it all" doesn't mean you have to sacrifice yourself in the process. The real work isn't just building the Vault (your finances). It's building the Temple (your body) and the Chalice (your inner world) at the same time. When you're on your own, it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the fight. But you're not. This brotherhood is filled with men who are on that same path, forging their own destiny. We're all learning to build ourselves, for ourselves, right alongside you. 1. Where are you building your Vault (finances/career) at the expense of your Temple (health) or Chalice (mind)? 2. What is one small, non-negotiable action you will take for yourself this week, not for your goals, but for the man you are today? Your action today: Stop being just the architect for "future you." Look at your calendar. Block out 30 minutes this week for your Temple (a high-intensity workout) or your Chalice (strategic journaling). Treat it like the most important meeting you have.

Kids Dont Always Listen But They Are Watching For Sure
Something I realised a while back - kids don’t just listen to what we say, they copy what we see us do. I used to tell my kids to be confident, patient, and kind… but when I was rushing around, glued to my phone, or stressing over small things, that’s what they were learning instead. Now I focus less on the “lessons” I talk about, and more on how I live them. If I want them to: 👉 Be kind - I show it. 👉 Be healthy - I move and eat well. 👉 Be calm - I slow down, even when life’s hectic. The shift was massive - less pressure, more presence. What’s one thing you’ve changed in yourself that’s had a positive ripple effect on your kids? 👇

Introduce yourself and share 1 thing you want to achieve before 2026.
Hey guys! This is the place to introduce yourself. This is a judgement free zone. We are all here because we want more, better, different. This is a place to share your story so we all can get to know each other, find similarities, differences, common hobbies, goals and dreams. Lets come together and help each other become our best and grow. I believe vulnerability is important and having men to confide in makes a difference. Lets make this our space to be those men for others and become a brotherhood who take on this world together. I will be posting about myself and i look forward to seeing what everyone says about themselves. Tell us: Where are you from? 1 cool fact about your childhood? How many kids you have? What you do for work? What is a dream you've always held onto? What are the biggest 2 barriers holding you back? Why you joined? 1 thing you want to accomplish in the next 4 months? I know those are a few questions and it might seem like a lot. It will be easy when you do it and it will help you get it out and allow others to learn more about you. I will have more questions for us to discuss later. Welcome!
Introduce yourself and share 1 thing you want to achieve before 2026.
