10 years ago, it became increasingly difficult to find and band with like-minded men who were interested in the same level of development I was.
The men in my circle seemed to be more interested in their favorite sports team, complaining about politics, and talking about their pop-culture idol of choice. I was interested in building a business, raising my kids, getting fit and strong, and pushing myself beyond what I had currently done.

I knew I couldn’t be alone but where were the rest of the guys who thought like me? That’s why I started the Iron Council – to band men who want to improve and develop in every facet of their lives towards a common objective, self-development.

But I realized I didn’t want to hold a bunch of men’s hands as a lead them through life. I wanted to learn from them. And, I wanted them to teach others.

That’s why the Iron Council is so powerful. The men here aren’t simply here to get. They’re also here to give. And, with tens of thousands of men who have successfully gone through the program, it’s a fraternity that is proving to be worth any investment – but only if a man is willing to put in the work.
