BOOKS, BROTHERHOOD & PERSONAL GROWTH
The Men’s Roundtable
Exploring masculinity, relationships, and personal leadership through powerful books and honest conversation.
Why This Group Exists
Most men don’t have spaces where they can be honest, reflect deeply, and connect with other men about the things that really matter—relationships, purpose, leadership, and how to show up fully in life.
The Men’s Roundtable was created to change that.
It’s a structured, book-based discussion group that helps men explore powerful ideas while building meaningful connections with one another.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not a class. It’s a circle of men, learning and growing together through conversation, reflection, and the shared wisdom of books that have stood the test of time.
What It Feels Like
Imagine showing up on a Monday night with a group of men who are also navigating growth, transition, or relational challenges. Together, you unpack a chapter of a book, share insights, ask questions, and consider how these lessons apply to your own life.
You’ll leave not only with new ideas but with the encouragement that comes from being surrounded by men who understand the path you’re on. Over time, these conversations become something more than “a book club”—they become a brotherhood.
Our Reading Journey
Each year, the Roundtable walks through four cornerstone books that shape our discussions:
No More Mr. Nice Guy (Dr. Robert Glover) – Break free from approval-seeking and reclaim your authentic self.
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover (Robert Moore & Douglas Gillette) – A roadmap to the four core strengths of mature masculinity.
The Way of the Superior Man (David Deida) – A practical guide to purpose, intimacy, and masculine presence.
The Masculine in Relationship (GS Youngblood) – Modern tools for leading with strength, clarity, and grounded love.
Together, these books form a pathway that helps men build confidence, clarity, and deeper connection—in themselves and in their relationships.
Current Reading Schedule
We are currently reading The Masculine in Relationship and will continue with this book through the end of the calendar year. Our next read will be No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover, starting Jan 2026.

Joining starts with a simple conversation. We’ll connect for a 15-minute call so I can hear more about what’s bringing you here and answer any questions you might have. From there, you’ll be welcomed into the group.
