Toxic shame thrives in hiding. Growth happens when you stay in the arena.

In this week’s (Tuesday, Feb 3, 2026) meeting, Jason shares the story of his growth since joining the community in 2022, what it looked like to keep showing up, especially when it would’ve been easier to pull back, play it safe, or disappear. He’ll talk about facing fears in real time, loosening the grip of people-pleasing, and challenging the self-limiting beliefs that keep so many men stuck in performing, over-functioning, or trying to earn acceptance.

Jason will also reflect on the moments that demanded something new of him, taking on challenges he didn’t feel fully ready for, staying present through discomfort, and choosing honesty over image. The goal isn’t a highlight reel, but a real account of what helps a man become more grounded and authentic through consistent practice, support, and accountability.

Come to listen, relate, and take away a few practical insights you can apply to your own work in the arena.
