Have you ever felt angry, frustrated, sad, and maybe even hurt? And you realize that you don’t have a place to release those feelings? 

For some reason, there is no one readily-available to hear you out; there is no place you can really bring these topics up. Maybe it’s a marriage struggle, or maybe it’s something going on at work that is making you feel insecure. Or you could just be overwhelmed and stressed out with all the weight that you have to carry as a man. 

The problem is that it’s not “cool” to be stressed or overwhelmed as a man. 

But We Are Not Typical Men 

For whatever reason, society has crafted many aspects of what “manhood” should be. Many times that image of manhood is totally wrong; sometimes it’s even downright impossible. 

If you watch any family sitcom, from the last 20 years, what do you see? You’ll see men that  are simple minded, sarcastic, emotionally disconnected, and mocked by the other characters. 

This image of “manhood” plays a part as to why men don’t have a place to discuss real life issues. 

If men are always trying to be the tough guy who can fix problems while cracking a joke, and never allowing themselves to feel too emotional, then we will never have a place for  real conversations. 

The Most Powerful Superpower: Context

Men need a place that is designed to help cultivate real life conversations. 

These conversations don’t always fit into the “manly” scene of watching football and drinking a beer. But men will often go looking for these places: places that encourage real life conversations. often they will find themselves at a church. 

While healthy Spirituality is a critical element of a fulfilling life, it is not the only element of life. Some of the issues that we face as men require us to look at the other elements of our lives.

For example:

• Being a better husband and father relies on our understanding relationships
• Becoming more financially stable and secure relies on our understanding of wealth
• Finding more confidence and joy often relies on our understanding our need for adventure

Men need a place that creates context for those real life conversations. 

But it can’t stop there. 

We need a place that calls us to act on the words and conversations we are having.

We need a place that will encourage us to express our frustrations and encourage us to work through them by taking action. 

We need a place with other men who recognize that it’s “cool” to want to be a great father; it’s cool to want to “wow” your wife every single day. 

We need a place that challenges us to make healthy choices. 

We need a place that helps grow our self awareness and enhance our spiritual life. 

We need other men who share our vision, and ask: “How can we become the best version of ourselves – for ourselves, out loved ones, and the world?”

Enter: HeRose The Men’s Mastermind

There’s No Crying in Softball

I love sports just like any other guy; heck I played college football. I even enjoy a good beer or glass of whiskey with a cigar sometimes. Come to think of it, I enjoy a lot of what is described as “manly things”. 

But the thing that was missing from playing softball with the guys while drinking cans of beer (which, by the way, is a blast) was that it never gave us an opportunity to lean over in dugout and say: “Hey let’s talk about how we can love our wives better”, or “What’s worked for you when dealing with a rebellious child?” 

I want to do my best in all categories of my life. And I know you want that too. 

The only way I have been  able to begin working on becoming the best version of myself, in all Super Six areas of life, has been  to put myself around men who are doing the same. 

I grow every year as a man because I am a part of HeRose. And I can say, without a shadow of doubt, that I would not be who I am today without HeRose. 

Finally: A Place Where You Belong

If you are like me, and you want to start having real life conversations, followed by real life brotherly accountability and action, then join us here in HeRose The Men’s Mastermind. 

Stop holding back the thoughts, feelings, and words that you have, in order to fit in with the  “cool guys”. Step into a small group of real men who are, humbly and heartily, working to be HeRose.

Walk the Walk 

All men who  read this, will know that is true and relate to it. But most men will read it, know it’s true and do nothing out of  fear of what others may think of him for joining a “men’s group”. 

A few of you reading this, will take action, despite being afraid of what others may say.

We are for the men who are ready to be real. Men who are ready to be real in their conversations and real in their actions. 

I hope to see you when we open up membership.
