Authentic Leadership Rooted in Passion, Purpose and Consciousness
Men Are In Need Of Your Unique Medicine
We are experiencing a crisis in masculinity.
With the modern age has come the fading away of the father from homes and the disappearance of masculine elders from our communities.
Most boys today have little concept of what it means to be a mature man because the rites of passage into manhood have all but disappeared.
WHERE ARE THE ELDERS WE CAN TRUST?
The sad truth is that that our grandfathers have been emasculated. Corporate slavery, war PTSD, addiction, and sexual abuse have rendered our Grandfathers depressed and dejected.
In the absence of the Wise Man, today's boys seek their initiation into adulthood wherever they can get it; they often count on the women, gangs, celebrities and politicians to guide their way to maturity.
THIS MODEL IS FAILING HUMANITY
The absence of the Healthy Father is evident in the prevalence of sexual abuse, divorce, addiction and incarceration in the male population.
Simultaneously the rate of suicides in young girls is through the roof.
All the while, men in power continue to rape the Earth of its precious resources.
The Window Of Opportunity For Reversing Man's Destruction Of Earth Is Quickly Closing
It is now clear that we can no longer count on politicians, religious leaders or corporate heads to make decisions that truly benefit humanity. The days of the Good King, the Selfless Priest and the Peaceful Warrior are all but gone.
And so, it is up to each and every one of us to embody Heart-Centered Leadership like our Forefathers never did.
It's all hands on deck! We need every brilliant mind and ambitious soul possible to activate their full potential in the name of true service.
If You Have A Unique Gift It Is Your Duty To Cultivate It And Share It With The World
When a man makes the conscious decision to live in alignment with his higher Self, he becomes truly Free. He becomes becomes Unshakeable. He becomes Immortal.
When Zach Made The Choice To Step Fully Onto His Path As A Guide For Men, It Wasn't Only His Life That Changed
Zach was brought up in a typical Christian, suburban household in the USA. As an only child, he often craved the connection of brotherhood, a void that he only partially filled through sports, school, church and video games. In his teens he began seeking this fulfillment in sex with women, partying and over-achieving in school.
Fresh out of college, Zach landed a corporate job and quickly worked his way up the ladder to a managerial position. Within 5 years had purchased his own house and decked it out with all of the nice things a person could want.
Soon Zach Began To Feel An Emptiness Inside
By his mid 20s, his acquisitions and achievements began to lose their sheen. His addictions intensified and he isolated. His relationships fell apart and his health suffered.
At age 29 his therapist diagnosed him with depression and prescribed him anti-depressants. The medication made him groggy and killed his libido, furthering his depression and isolation. He was in a tailspin.
Then He Did A Brave Thing: He Reached Out For Help
After a few attempts, Zach got sober and cleaned up his daily habits. The light in his eyes started to return, but he still felt like there was something missing. He continued to struggle to connect deeply with family, friends and lovers.
At age 32, Zach had an encounter that would change his path forever. At a friend's birthday he noticed a man that embodied a certain powerful presence. Though slight of stature and not particularly attractive, this man exuded confidence. Men and women alike seemed to be at ease in his presence and his vibe was stern, yet somehow playful.
In a brief conversation with this man, Zach felt more seen and heard by a stranger than ever before in his life.
The man then asked him a question that changed the course of his life forever.
"Do you sit in circle with men?"
Zach didn't quite know what the man meant, in fact, at first he felt agitated by the question. But curiosity won out and he said, "I'm willing to try."
On a rainy night, Zach showed up at a chiropractic office and stepped into his first men's circle experience. That event was one of the most uncomfortable and enlightening experiences of his life. As he and the other men laid their hands on a weeping man, something inside of Zach shifted.
"Oh my God. I've never seen a grown man cry before."
Upon realizing this, Zach wept too. Many of the men were emotional and they all held one another.
"Healthy masculinity. This is what I've been missing."
That night, a huge weight lifted in Zach. Finding authentic brotherhood was the missing piece for him in his healing journey.
In the years that followed, Zach participated in numerous masculine rites of passage. He also began staffing weekends and even hired a men's embodiment coach to help him build his confidence.
Almost instantly Zach started getting reflections from friends and peers that they noticed a change in the way he held himself.
The shift was most evident in his relationships.
- At work he was being looked to as the go-to man for holding space for resolving disputes.
- His love-life started thriving as he gained access to his emotions and learned how to make his lovers feel safe and seen.
- Even his relationship with his parents shifted as he was less reactive and more loving to them.
The most incredible part of this journey for Zach is the healing that has rippled out from there.
His deepened relationship with his parents has set an example for family members to come back into connection after years of estrangement.
His vulnerable leadership in the workplace routinely affects his co-workers in a positive way. He often get's feedback that his lunchtime chats with peers create huge shifts in their own home-lives.
Though Zach has yet to meet the "love of his life," his intimate relationships are drama-free and deeply connective for the first time ever.
Zach Heeded The Call To Be Of Service To Men
In 2020 Zach stepped fully onto his path as a mentor for men. Through his 1-on-1 clients and group programs he has already impacted dozens of men with his inspirational story, his grounded guidance and his accountability support.
Testimonials from his mentees claim working with Zach "saved my marriage," "gave me the support to finally quit drinking," and even "saved my life during lockdown."
By Fall 2021 Zach will make the courageous step from part-time to full-time facilitator of men. He focuses on men with addiction challenges, helping them build inner resilience so they can have the relationships beyond their wildest dreams.
His work is literally saving lives.
The Three Reasons Men Want To Work With Zach
Hint: it's not his resume, his trophy wife, or his degrees...
He serves from a place of personal experience and tells his story of struggle and triumph.
He serves humbly and stays vulnerable by continuously digging deeper into inner work.
He is studious and continues to level up his training in the way of masculine facilitation.

How To Know When It's Your Time To Come Out As A Facilitator For Men
You sometimes feel like you're not fully using your gifts.
You have skillsets, trainings or innate medicine that are gathering dust on the shelf.
Friends or family say tell you: "You should be a counselor or a healer."
You're often the peacemaker and people call you up for advice. In your current work you are successful because you know how to listen and ask deep questions.
You see other men doing your dream work and think, "I can do that."
You have also become very picky about who you receive healing/counsel from. You even sometimes give constructive feedback to other facilitators.
You are ALREADY in a position of spiritual service to men in your network.
You sometimes think, "I wish I could do deep work like this all the time." You have an idea of a unique method or combination of skills that you have been dreaming of bringing to the world.
You are ALREADY a facilitator and are feeling the call to focus on men specifically.
Your male clients get greater results than your female clients. Or most of your clients are female and you don't feel fully in integrity about it.
What Is Your Unique Masculine Medicine & Who Will You Serve?
It doesn't take social media popularity or a counseling degree become a men's work facilitator.
It simply takes choosing a mentor you trust, finding an aligned peer group & learning the basics of masculine facilitation.

Honoring The Voices Of Dissent
Scroll below through the three most common objections that tend to come up for men. If they don't resonate for you, feel free to skip over this section.
"I'm Not In A Position To Make A Financial Investment"
The truth is: few men ever are. Probably less than .01% of men have a "men's leadership training" budget allotment.
The truth also is: if a man wants this (or any) training badly enough, he will find a way to make the financials work. Men in the past have taken out credit lines, asked family-members or friends for loans, and even created GoFundMe campaigns. Not one time has he ever regretted it.
The big question is: how does the belief of "I'm not worth the investment" show up in other arenas in your life?
You are invited to stretch the limits of your giving--this is the only way to stretch your capacity to receive.
Many men earn their investment back in the first few months of the program. Other men earn it back over time through the clarity and confidence gained in this program.
Whenever and however, this program may be the greatest investment you've ever made in yourself and give you returns of a nature you've never before imagined.
"I Don't Have The Time Or Energy To Build A Men's Work Community"
When you align your lifestyle with you purpose, magic happens. You will access endless creative life force energy and boundless inspiration. Work is no longer work, but simply an extension of your personal practice.
Getting on late-night or early-morning calls no longer will drain you. Spending time connecting on social media will no longer dull you. Networking at events will not longer drag you down. It will all be for a reason.
Aligning daily action with your vision will fill up your tank, not deplete it.
"This Won't Fly With My Partner"
This objection is for you if you share decision-making authority with another person.
Making a sizable time and money commitment can be nerve-wracking to a family dynamic. And often, this is just the shake-up that families need to break out of stagnant dynamics.
If you are in a joint-partnership, before enrolling in this training you are required either a) to get approval from your spouse or b) to create a new decision-making paradigm.
For some men, this means having the conversation that you have been avoiding with your partner. Look at this as an opportunity.
Shift the conversation from, "Can I have your permission" to "Will you partner with me on this?"
This moment may be a defining moment for both of you and your relationship.
