We had a great time talking Men & Authenticity last night! Thank you to everyone who joined us. We'll be back November 15 to talk Men & Intimacy!

What does it mean to be authentic? To be authentically self-expressed?

How does the systemic assault on authenticity, as calls it, impact men and how they show up in the world?

Join us on Thursday, 9/21 for an engaging and interactive panel discussion to explore these questions and more.

Here's a taste of the kind of Maximum Value Practices (MVPs) and I assign in The Arena Men's Group.

Every two weeks we have a different MVP that the group does and shares about in our private community.

It's an opportunity to take what's coming up in the group and bring it into the world and also an opportunity for men to share with one another and receive support.

Want to take on this MVP? We'd love to hear what your experience is like!

Big shoutout to for the great questions!

How authentically self-expressed are you when you communicate at work and in your personal life?

Do you say what you really want to say or what you know will be received well?

Something I work with many clients on is authentic self-expression and communication skills so they can be more effective and influential communicators in and out of work.

It's also something that's central in The Arena Men's Group.

Could there be a more accurate fortune cookie for coaching and men's work?

I'm back with an excerpt from my semi-weekly newsletter, The Hungry Reader. Check out my bio to subscribe!

What's something you've been putting off until tomorrow that you can do today?

What do you think about this line from 'The Men's Group'?

Join me and on June 24 and 25 in NYC to explore what asking for help can do for you as a man. We promise it'll be a weekend to remember and shift the trajectory of your life.

There is a big difference between saying something and being something.

Words are easy to throw around. They can full pain at the moment. Reassure or avoid challenging conversations. Distract from what's actually felt.

But words carry much less meaning than who you are being in the moment.

and I will often say in the Arena Men's Group that someone's words and music don't match. This is when the words someone is saying doesn't align with their energy and who they're being.

People often say that actions mean more than words. I would say that ways of being mean more than actions and words. It's the quality a person puts into their actions and words that matters.

I can have the same conversations and say the same things, but I'm I'm angry when I say them, I'll create one experience. If I'm open and generous when I say them, I'll create something radically different.

If you're not getting the results you want, take a look at who you're being.

And if you want support, join Nick and I for The Arena Weekend in June. The link is in my bio.

There's nothing like taking phone calls while sitting in Central Park.

Where do you go to slow down and connect with yourself?

One way of being in the arena and disrupting your Minotaur is to focus on your WHY or Higher Purpose.

Often times, it's the REASON for being in the arena in the first place.

If you want to connect to your own higher purpose, join and I for The Arena Weekend on June 24 & 25 in NYC!

Are you a man who wants to get out of the stands and into the arena?

Are there big things you want to accomplish or an area of your life where you want to feel A LOT more fulfilled?

Would you love to have a team of men support and hold you accountable to be the man you want to be?

I f you answered "YES" to any of these questions, please join me and on
Wednesday, May 31, to explore what it means to be a man in the arena and get a sneak peek at our upcoming two-day intensive - The Arena Weekend.

In this 60-minute masterclass, we'll go over our four pillars of being a man in the arena, what you can expect in The Arena Weekend, and we'll hear from a couple of our Arena Men's Group members on how being part of the group has impacted their lives.

You'll walk away from this masterclass...

👍 With a clear picture of the four areas to focus on to be a man in the arena.

👍 With an understanding of how The Arena Weekend can benefit you and lead to the breakthroughs you want.

👍 With a better grasp on how men's groups support men to be the men they aspire to be.

👍 With a clear next step (or Maximum Value Practice, as we like to call it) that will support you in being a man in the arena.

As and I get ready for The Arena Weekend on June 24 & 25, I'm finding that my own Minotaur is showing up a lot.

I'm trying new things and the little voice in my head keeps saying...

"You're just going to embarrass yourself."

"What if none of this works?"

"No one will want to sign up."

"You're overcommitted as it is. This is too much."

"You don't REALLY know what you're doing."

"People are just going to get annoyed."

"No one you know would be interested in this."

And here's the thing... it all feels real. I could convince myself of ANY of these stories. Sometimes I do... But ultimately, im committed to putting on this weekend and sharing the work Nick and I do.

I know these stories are protecting me from embarrassment, failure, looking foolish, upsetting people, and on, and on. But being in the arena is actually about allowing those things to happen.

Being in the arena is about feeling the highest highs and lowest lows. It's about allowing ourselves to feel all of life.

To feel it all yourself, join us for The Arena Weekend in June. Link in my bio.
