[good]men arrive primed to advance their “works > in > progress”.
Between what we know and what we’re seeking next.
A feeling that we’re on the verge of transition.
A desire to become grounded and aligned again.
A choice to seek brothers, to be in the company of other [good]men seeking the same as you.
Hey. I’m Christian.
In 2017, I began hosting my first monthly “Bourbon + Bonfire” men’s gathering. At first, I thought the value of the gathering was about hanging out and sharing great bourbon. I soon realized it was about listening closely and building brotherhood.
For the first 2 years of Covid, I hosted the online “The Oh, Shit Sessions”, a 2x/week global men’s gathering exploring how men can show up for one another as we navigate constant uncertainty. And we did so simply to listen and to understand.
In 2024, I launched [good]men as a way to design immersive experiences that fuel purposeful conversations and connections between men bringing genuine “works > in > progress” from their lives to explore throughout each gathering.
I created [good]men and its “works > in > progress” focus as an extension of my [bon]fire studio.
My Intention:
Help men experience ‘being present’ for each other so they can experience ‘being present’ for others.
My truth:
I never imagined any version of me joining, supporting, creating, or guiding ‘men’s work’.
Grew up in an uncertain relationship with most males. Lots of fight-or-flight situations. Most times, I just connected with guys casually, on a superficial level. Real trust or brotherhood felt out-of-reach.
