The One Question Men Are Tired of Avoiding
|
Seven men stepped into a curated space together this past week. The goal was simple but powerful: create an environment where high-achieving men could be truly known and seen. One single question shaped our entire time: “What do you need most during our time together?” Men have grown weary of experts on stages, talking heads, and leadership content that sounds good but leaves the soul empty. They’re craving real conversations with real men in real places—embodied experiences that touch their spiritual hunger and point toward transcendence. That one word—need—carried unusual weight. No man wants to be seen as “needy.” Yet this reluctance is quietly fueling loneliness, performance burnout, and isolation. Shame keeps men from naming their relational, emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual needs. It blocks deeper belonging, intimacy, and authentic identity. Here’s what the seven men said they needed most in a space focused on true identity, deeper intimacy in marriage, and with leadership excellence:
What men need today is to become needy—not in a childish, weak sense, or feasting on your mom's breast milk but in a mature, honest way; what I call wholehearted leadership. They need safe spaces to name their fears, process their emotions, belong to other healthy men, share their authentic selves, and ask for support. In The Arena, men learn to tell the truth, reconnect their head with their heart, and step into transformed lives. Welcome to The Arena. A mastermind at the intersection of wholehearted leadership, true identity, and passionate marriage. The doors are opening again to this exclusive room. Seats are intentionally limited to protect the depth of what God is doing among men who are willing to risk being known. I’ll be sharing more in the coming days. If you’re a visionary, executive, business owner, or leader who wants to live wholeheartedly and who has downstream impact on your family, team, and organization, reply to this email to apply or learn more.

It was not that long ago that Jessica and I were sitting at home during the summer, quietly wondering when we would get to take our family on vacation. It was one of the hardest and darkest seasons of our life. Now we are thrilled to be able to dream, plan, and adventure together. It is one of our core family values that we created: how do we not increase the footprint of our home, but intentionally create more adventures? At the same time, for the last sixteen years we have made...
The gun range does something in me. It opens up a frontier of my heart that needs ongoing exploration and it reveals the uncharted territory most of us are carrying. We are carrying real needs that we dare not name. Are you willing to be seen as needy? Most men aren’t. And that is why they remain stuck. After leading men for over two decades: I’ve learned one thing: Unlocking the canyon of a man’s heart requires risk. Risk to create the environment. Risk to model truth telling. Risk to ask...
Every week, men share with me what's happening below the surface of their lives. Raw stories. Infidelity. Addiction. Affairs. The relentless chase of business success—and the loneliness that comes with it. Most of them didn't wake up and decide to blow up their marriage. It happened slowly, in the quiet moments of fatigue and desperation, over the years. Then some marriages look great on Sunday morning, and next week, they file for divorce. One of the biggest culprits that sabotages...
