THE FORGE: A GATHERING OF MEN
This is an idea over 10 years in the making created by four of the most prominent leaders in the men's self-development space. For the first time ever, Connor Beaton with ManTalks, Larry Hagner with The Dad Edge, Matt Beaudreau with ApogeeStrong, and Ryan Michler with Order of Man have partnered to create an experience unlike any other.
This event is designed with one thing in mind - to help you as, a man, learn from and connect with other like-minded men on a mission to improve themselves as husbands, fathers, business owners, and community leaders.
The Experience
This is a 3-day men's event just outside of St. Louis, MO. You'll have the opportunity to band with like-minded men, learn from some of the most notable athletes, scholars, and warriors, and develop the frameworks needed to thrive.
The Mission
This 3-day experience is designed to give you the tools and connections you need to make the most of your life. This is not a conference. This is an experience to get you outside of your comfort zone to build the life you've dreamed of.
The Package
This experience is all-inclusive. When you register, you'll have access to all the programs, exercises, instruction, food, lodging, and swag you can get your hands on. You get to our ranch and we'll take care of the rest.
The Speakers
Not only will you hear from Connor, Larry, Matt, and Ryan but you'll also hear from our guests speakers we're flying in to be at this experience with you. And all of them are committed to sharing their insights, best-practices, and strategies with you.
The Activities
No experience for men would be complete without activities designed to build camaraderie, push your physical limits, and test your mental strength. From Jiu-Jitsu and morning PT to firearms training and a ropes course, we've got you covered.
The Brotherhood
We don't want you to walk away from this experience without powerful connections with other men who will work with and hold you accountable. You're going to be working closely with other men who are going to grow and learn with you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHERE IS THE EVENT?
We have secured a ranch 2 1/2 hours south of St. Louis, MO. It's best to fly into St. Louis and drive to the site location (you'll receive the address when you register). You'll also be added to a Facebook group so you can coordinate a ride with other attendees.
HOW MUCH DOES THE EVENT COST?
We've worked hard to make this affordable for you. And, we've created two different packages (Standard and VIP). Each of the two packages also has a payment plan should that work better for your budget.
IS THIS EVENT FOR MEN ONLY?
Yes, this is a men's-only event. We've found that in order for men to truly open up and reap all of the benefits of the conversations and activities you'll be participating in, it is imperative that you're free to express yourself without the influence of women in attendance.
WILL I GET TO SPEAK WITH HOSTS, VIP GUESTS, AND PRESENTERS?
Absolutely. This is not an event where the hosts, VIP guests, and presenters hide out never to be seen or available to interact with. And, with the VIP package, you'll have even greater, exclusive access to our hosts, VIP guests, and presenters.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Bring comfortable clothes for 3 1/2 days including clothes for morning PT and items you don't mind getting dirty. Don't worry, we'll send you a more detailed packing list upon registration.
WHAT ACTIVITIES WILL I BE PARTICIPATING IN?
We keep the list of activities pretty close to our chest. We don't want anyone deciding to bail knowing that a certain activity or exercise would prove to be challenging. That said, if you are physically unable to participate in an activity, we will make arrangements for you to participate at a level you're capable of.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE EXPERIENCE?
Once you get to the ranch, we've got you covered from lodging, food, and all activities. There will be absolutely zero additional out-of-pocket expenses once you arrive to our venue. And, if you opt for the VIP Package, you'll have additional access to VIP guest, lodging accommodations, and front row seating options for our presentations.
WHAT IF I CAN NO LONGER ATTEND?
Our refund policy is simple. If you give us at least a 60-day notice, we'll refund 100% of your ticket price. If you give us between a 30-59 day notice, we'll refund 50% of your ticket price. And, if you give us less than a 30-day notice, we do not offer a refund but you are free to sell or transfer your ticket to another qualified attendee.
