Circle
The Male Friendship Factor:
Building stronger connections for men
About this circle:
Building stronger connections for men
Friendship used to just happen. Now it takes intention. And for a lot of men, that shift is easy to miss until something feels off. Over six weeks, this coaching circle is a chance to get back to something essential. Real connection. No posturing. No pressure. Just a group of men willing to show up and have conversations that actually matter.
We’ll draw from a few sharp, no-nonsense reads to guide us. Breaking the Male Code: Unlocking the Power of Friendship helps us name the unspoken rules many of us have lived by and what they’ve cost us. Billy No-Mates brings humor and honesty to why friendship gets harder as life fills up. Of Boys and Men adds context on what’s changing for men today. And Mayflies reminds us what it looks like when friendship actually lasts.
This is not about becoming someone different. It is about being more intentional about the kind of friendships you want in this next chapter. Shared experiences. Straight conversations. A few good laughs. And that rare, steady sense that someone has your back.
If that’s been missing, even a little, you’ll want in.
This circle is for any man looking to deepen old friendships, make new ones, or simply explore the role connection plays in life. Whether you’re wanting to keep friendships going strong or just want to reflect on what friends bring to your world, this space offers a supportive, relaxed environment to share, learn, and connect.

The format: Here's how it unfolds
How Long Will We Meet?
We’ll meet weekly for six sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. This setup gives us the perfect amount of time to dive into the layers of friendship without any rush. Each week, we’ll have the space to explore, chat, and uncover new ways to connect, all in a relaxed and supportive environment. It’s about creating a rhythm of meaningful conversation and connection that keeps the momentum going week after week.
What Specific Challenges Will We Tackle Together?
We’ll explore the common challenges men face in building and sustaining friendships as life fills up. This includes finding time, loosening outdated expectations of what friendship is supposed to look like, and learning how to create connections that actually endure. Drawing on insights from Breaking the Male Code: Unlocking the Power of Friendship and supported by voices like Billy No-Mates and Of Boys and Men, we’ll look at practical ways to make friendship feel more natural, more rewarding, and even fun again.
What Will Our Sessions Look Like?
Each session will kick off with a relaxed reflection to set the tone and get the conversation flowing. We’ll then dive into group discussions where we can share, listen, and even laugh together. Real-life stories, practical exercises, and open conversations will help us explore what makes friendships meaningful, supportive, and lasting. Each week, insights from Breaking the Male Code will guide us, anchoring our discussions and sparking new ideas for how to build friendships that feel genuine and fulfilling.
