The MANifesto
Men make men. This is what we believe about who we're becoming, and how we'll get there together.
WELCOME TO TRUE BLUE TRIBE.
This is a rally call. It is a whoop. A holler. A hail. And a salaam. This is an aspirational articulation, an inspirational idiom and – quite frankly – the best application for the greater population of the manly persuasion to work, play, think, learn and do. This is an adventure.
It's a place for men to be men. Real men.
To rip off the suffocating mask of insecurity and breathe in deeply the rarified air of genuine manhood. Together. Manhood isn't about reaching a particular age or recalling a particular ideal. It's about being real. Today, more than any time in the history of our planet, the world needs men. Authentic, inspired, informed, satisfied, courageous, confident and competent... Men. Strong men. Brave men. Honest, broken, and true men.
This is a battle cry in the war we wage against our lesser selves. Our supposed-to-be-selves.
There is no need for pretending or posing here. There is no judgement or condemnation. It's not about who he or she or them or they think we should be. It's about who we are. It's real. Where information meets know-how and inspiration meets grit.
No one of us has it all together, but together we can become all that we have been created to be. We are the exceptional. We are the every man. And we are not alone.
Together we will turn the page that leads to what's next for an entire generation. We are a tribe of true believers serving a congregation of society desperately searching for something to believe in. So, huddle up, gentlemen. It's time to get in the game. This is authentic manhood.
THIS IS THE TRUE BLUE TRIBE.
First find the man in yourself if you will inspire manliness in others.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Get The Holler
Growth doesn't happen on the mountaintop. It happens down in the holler, the long stretch between peaks where the real work gets done. The Holler is a free letter for the men in it: one thing for the heart, body, mind and spirit, plus the newest episode of Men Make Men.
