Being a man in the modern world is no easy task.
What was once expected of Men seems no longer relevant, while new ever-increasing demands emerge daily.
Should I be more “Masculine”, or more “Feminine”?
Should I learn how to lead my woman, or learn how to follow her?
Do I hold the door open, or let her fend for herself?
How can I meet the challenges of modern Masculinity to become the best partner, lover, father, friend, and man our women and world are calling for? What are the skills that allow me to do so?
Men can no longer afford to leave these questions unanswered.
The Crisis in Masculinity is real:
-
Have you been told that your anger is wrong or dangerous?
-
That your desire is threatening or predatory?
-
That your very being and existence is “toxic”?
-
That you’re unfeeling or not emotionally available?
-
That you’re not “man” enough, or that you’re too aggressive?
-
What does it even mean to be a man in today’s ever-changing world?
It is time to stop fixating on what’s wrong with men and start focusing on what’s right.
It is high time you were honored, appreciated, and recognized as the man that you are, while setting you up to succeed in the places in your life you feel the most challenged.
How?
Having a strong cohort of trustable men in our lives is a top predictor of overall success in business, romance, family stability, and personal development.
Many of us have never experienced the power, support, and friendship that comes from a strong group of connected men, living their lives on purpose.
It is therefore CRITICAL to be around men who empower you to become the best man you can be.
We have been led to believe we can do this on our own.
But none of us can.
The lift is too heavy.
Our patterns are too entrenched …
THE KING’S CODE is a program that aims to directly address the following challenges modern men face, in absence of the “King”:
-
Lack of purpose & nihilism
-
The increasing mental health crisis
-
Self-Doubt or feeling unappreciated
-
Difficulty changing bad habits, or inability to follow through
-
Feeling stuck or trapped in current life circumstances
-
Feeling disconnected from self and/or others
-
Challenges and fears with women or men
-
Difficulty or fear expressing healthy anger
-
Unable to stand up for ourselves and defend what we believe in
-
Loss of desire for your romantic partner + sexual challenges/dysfunction
-
“Nice Guy” syndrome or emasculation
-
Lack of positive male role models or mentors
If you suffer from any of the above, this program is for you.
One of the main reasons for the crisis of masculinity in our culture is due to the absence of foundational “Masculine Rites of Passage”.
Throughout all traditions and cultures for all of human history, there existed powerful rites of passage to initiate us into mature masculinity.
Sadly, the majority of these traditions no longer exist.
We believe these “Rites” are every man’s birthright. And in service to these traditions, we offer this comprehensive program as an invitation into initiation for men ready to become part of a living lineage - a lineage of men teaching men, side-by-side with Women who know the value of nourishing and honoring the “Sacred Masculine” as the means of creating and affirming strong, capable men.
THE KING’S CODE is a program designed from both ancient tradition and modern wisdom to provide a step-by-step plan of action for the balanced and measurable development of modern men, presented in the 12 essential modules outlined below.
This four-month program unfolds over weekly group calls on Zoom. Each 2-hour call will guide you through a core curriculum of 12 distinct masculine teachings to help up-level the lives of men in practical, measurable ways.
Together, we train mind, body, and spirit to become more than we once were alone by sharpening ourselves against the iron of our brothers.
What is THE KING’S CODE, and how do we follow it?

Program Details:
Halfway through the program, the entire cohort will gather IN-PERSON for a powerful 3-DAY IMMERSION in Austin, TX. This will take place on May 31st - June 2nd, 2024 and will be a powerful container for us to put the concepts of the curriculum into practice.
There are lots of men’s programs out there, sold on contrivances and cold plunges.
We aim to go deeper.
We believe this world needs strong, present men, now more than ever –
for our partners, for our children, for our planet.
We can no longer put off the work of becoming the men we were born to be.
The absence of men’s greatness is apparent, and can no longer be tolerated.
You are needed.
