What is A Man’s Rite?
Throughout history, men have been called to undergo rites of passage, trials that forge character, purpose, and mastery.
Today, the call remains the same, but the path is often unclear.
Over the last decade I’ve had the privilege of running and being a part of Men’s movements and programs from fitness bootcamps to intensive men’s retreats and the answer is clear, men are seeking initiation like never before.
We are tribal by nature, so initiation through a rite of passage, is something we come to expect, whether it's through fraternity, club or even the bond of marriage.
But, I believe what a man truly seeks is his own rite of initiation into his purpose, meaning and mastery.
A man’s rite is self mastery and meaning, a lifelong pursuit of growth, power, purpose and his rightful place as an initiated and fully integrated man.
A High Value Man, a King.
This is a journey, one that begins with self-discovery and ends with the legacy you leave behind.
A note on your Legacy
Your legacy, will be either intentional, a collection of philosophies, frameworks and fruit that future generations can benefit from.
Or it will be accidental, chains and pain passed down through generations that your grandsons will have to face.
What to Expect:
Challenge. Mountains and More Mountains.
As you pursue your purpose expect challenge, difficulty and resistance.
This is the Hero’s journey, a never ending rite of passage designed to strengthen you as a man.
• Faith: Align your spirit with higher purpose.
• Fitness: Build your body as a tool for energy and action.
• Family: Lead with love and intentionality.
• Finances: Master resources to multiply your legacy.
It will never get easier, but you will grow stronger, every peak you climb you’ll access new depth to your power and you’ll look back and realize that yesterday’s challenges are tomorrow's warm up.
It’s incredibly fulfilling, this pursuit, but it will require all of you.
But, you are not alone my friend.
Why This Matters:
A man’s rite is not a singular moment, it’s a lifelong pursuit of mastery. It’s about becoming the man you were meant to be:
• A man of faith who walks in truth.
• A man of fitness who builds with discipline.
• A man of family who loves with intention.
• A man of finances who creates with purpose.
This isn’t about theory, it’s about action.
To be the example you needed, to be the man you lacked, to uphold and rebuild the name, to break the chains and honor the gift inside.
If you’re just starting, here’s where I would begin…
Treat your pursuit of Mastery and Meaning like any other Journey, know where you are, decide where you’re going and make progress in that direction.

This begins with VISION, it points the way, here’s an article I wrote that will help you create your vision.

The most important thing you can do is do something daily.
Grateful to be on the journey with you my friend, there is nothing more beautiful than a man that is living his purpose and giving that gift to the world.
The alternative is terrifying…
I explore that with Hitler’s Famous Painting which you can read here.
Don’t be that guy.
To your life of mastery, meaning, purpose and growth.
Much love.
