How Our Process Works
At Masterful Men, our mission is to guide men to become unstuck, unshakeable, and unstoppable. This transformation empowers men to create and experience their lives as Masterful Men—strong, resilient leaders in their own lives, relationships, and communities.
We offer two distinct paths within our community to support you in your growth:
Path 1: The Masterful Journey
A structured, five-stage path for men ready to invest deeply in their personal growth. Inspired by the Hero’s Journey, this framework takes you step by step from feeling stuck to living a life of purpose, confidence, and mastery.
How to Start
The Masterful Journey begins with a live phone call with a mentor. This session helps you clarify where you’re stuck, explore your goals, and determine whether The Masterful Journey is the right path for you.
If you choose to begin, the first step is a 2-month 1-on-1 intensive, which includes six private, bi-weekly 90-minute coaching sessions.
-
$2000 with Sven Masterson (Author, Mentor, and Coach)
-
$1000 with Jeff, Craig, Brian, or Andrew
What’s Next?
After completing the initial intensive, The Masterful Journey can continue in one of two ways:
1-on-1 Guidance
Ongoing bi-weekly 90-minute sessions as you progress through each stage.
-
$2000 for two months with Sven Masterson
-
$1000 for two months with a community mentor
Small Group Guidance
After completing a 1-on-1 intensive, you may continue in a small, supportive group of like-minded men. These groups meet bi-weekly and offer camaraderie, shared wisdom, and ongoing momentum.
-
$200/month
(Small group access is included during the 1-on-1 intensive and available as a continuation option afterward.)
Path 2: Community-Only Membership
Not ready for the structure of The Masterful Journey? The Community-Only Membership provides meaningful connection and resources for your growth in a more flexible format.
What’s Included
- The Awakened Purposeful Man 30-Day Challenge
A self-guided course to help you uncover the reasons behind your struggles and take the first steps toward personal growth. - The Haven
A private online space for discussions and insights with other high-caliber men. - Power Hour Calls
Participate in several weekly group calls to connect, learn, and grow alongside other members.
Investment:
- $50/month for full community access.
Important Note:
Community-Only members who later decide to pursue The Masterful Journey must begin with the live phone call and the 45-day 1-on-1 Introduction to prepare for the transformational process.
Choosing Your Path
- If you’re ready to dive deeply into personal transformation and long-term growth, The Masterful Journey is your path.
- If you’re looking for connection, shared wisdom, and flexibility without a structured framework, the Community-Only Membership is the perfect starting point.
Whichever path you choose, our community is here to support you in becoming a Masterful Man.

The Masterful Journey: Your Path to Becoming an Unshakable, Masterful Man
The Masterful Journey is a structured and transformative path designed to guide men from the earliest stages of awakening to the highest levels of personal mastery. This six-course program equips men to build emotional resilience, cultivate deeper relationships, and live with purpose, integrity, and strength.
The journey begins with The Awakened Purposeful Man, where men recognize the call to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. From there, each stage is designed to challenge and refine your growth, helping you unlock your potential and overcome internal and external obstacles.
- In The Courageous Committed Man, you’ll take bold steps to embrace change and commit to personal growth.
- The Resilient Enduring Man focuses on building emotional endurance, teaching you how to thrive through adversity.
- The Renewed Masculine Man helps you redefine and reclaim your masculine identity, creating deeper connections and emotional freedom.
- The Integrated Empowered Man merges your newfound strength with wisdom and emotional intelligence, enabling you to lead with authenticity.
- Finally, in The Unshakable Grounded Man, you embody true mastery—unshakable, resilient, and grounded, living with purpose and confidence.
Each course builds on the last, providing a roadmap for transformation that balances emotional, mental, and relational growth. Whether you're seeking to break free from old patterns, build unshakable resilience, or live a life of purpose and legacy, The Masterful Journey is your path to becoming the man you aspire to be.

F.A.Qs
Courses & Costs
Why are some courses more expensive than others?
The later stages of The Masterful Journey require more time, energy, and resources to complete. As you progress, the courses grow in intensity and length, with added construction and maintenance costs. These courses are designed to guide you through deeper, more transformational work, making the investment worthwhile.
Why is there a monthly subscription if a course takes only a few months?
While a course might only take a few months, the real transformation comes from staying engaged in the Outpost Coaching & Community Group. Men often procrastinate, seek comfort, or stall, which prevents real growth. Our monthly subscription ensures that you stay committed to the journey and continue to push your personal development forward. The coaching groups also offer ongoing support, connection, and mentorship with men at a similar stage in their journey.
Can I buy the curriculum and not participate in the community?
While curriculum access is tied to a group subscription, you can scale back your involvement to as little as $15/month. This option allows you to maintain access to your purchased courses and re-engage with the community when you're ready to dive back in.
What are the total costs associated with each course and community subscription?
The course costs range from $150 for early stages to $900 for advanced stages. In addition, access to The Outpost Coaching & Community Group is $125/month, which includes live Zoom coaching and community interaction. You can downgrade to $15/month if you're unable to maintain active participation but still want to keep curriculum access.
Coaching & Community
What is The Outpost Coaching & Community Group?
The Outpost is your space to interact with other men on the same journey. It includes access to course discussions, assignments, and scheduled live coaching sessions. This group keeps you accountable, ensures you're progressing, and offers support tailored to your specific stage of the journey.
Do I need to join The coaching and community group to access the courses?
If you've not purchased them, yes. Once you own them, no. We believe transformation happens best through community support, coaching, and involvement. That’s why we require men to start with it to ensure you're surrounded by like-minded men and have the guidance necessary to make real progress.
Can I pause or scale back my membership if I need to?
Yes, you can scale back your involvement without losing access to the curriculum for as little as $15/month. This option allows you to retain your course materials and re-engage fully when you're ready.
One-on-One Coaching
What if I want 1-on-1 coaching instead of group coaching?
We offer private 1-on-1 coaching, which includes access to the Group Coaching for assignments and discussions. Even if you choose private sessions, we recommend participating in the group sessions as well for maximum growth. You'll have access to a VIP calendar for scheduling your 1-on-1 sessions.
General Questions
Why do we have monthly subscriptions for group coaching?
The subscriptions ensure ongoing accountability and support, keeping your plot moving forward. Many men stall or procrastinate without continuous pressure, which is why we've designed the monthly subscription model—to help you maintain momentum and commitment to your growth. This also rewards the diligent and committed by ensuring their cost is lower and potentially increases the cost for procrastinators, which supports the work we do to guide such men to being more decisive, following through on commitments, and putting an end to procrastinating - all ingredients necessary to create a masterful life.
Can I downgrade my subscription if I'm not actively participating?
Yes, if you're unable to maintain the intensity of your journey, you can downgrade your subscription while retaining access to the courses. You’ll lose access to the support and coaching community and associated live sessions, but you can keep studying the curriculum at your own pace for as little as $15/month. We also have a community only option that allows men to continue to connect with peers and access their purchased curriculum but not access the mentoring guidance ($50/month).
What else is included?
In addition to the live Zoom mentoring sessions that are baked into the Masterful Journey, our members also enjoy access to four "Power Hour" hot-seat coaching calls per week where they can get immediate help getting unstuck in whatever they're seeking to create in their lives. These calls are like a "scrum" or "standup" call for personal development work.
Lastly, we have several niche support groups dedicated to topics like divorce and separation, sexless marriage, avoidant spouses, affair recovery, and more being added all the time.
Alpha, Beta, Sigma—Oh My!
There’s no shortage of opinions these days about what kind of man you should be.
Alpha. Beta. Sigma. High value. Stoic. Dangerous. Unavailable but attractive.
Assertive, but not aggressive. Kind, but not too soft. Confident, but not cocky.
Have you ever stopped to ask…
Who decided these were the options?
And more importantly…
What if none of them were ever going to give you what you’re really searching for?
What If These Aren’t Destinations… But Detours?
It’s easy to see why these identities appeal to many men. If you’ve been stuck, hurt, rejected, or just plain confused—grabbing onto a new identity feels like progress. And sometimes, it’s a step in the right direction or, at least, along the path to one.
But after working with hundreds of men, we’ve started asking a deeper question:
Is moving from beta to alpha… or from alpha to sigma… really transformation?
Or is it just reaching for a new strategy and version of a false self that feels safer?
-
"Alpha" looks strong—but is he hiding his fear of powerlessness?
-
"Beta" seems kind—but is he just terrified of disapproval?
-
"Sigma" seeks to be cool and self-sufficient—but has he just given up on being known?
If you’ve shifted from one to another, did it actually bring peace?
Or did it just feel like a new costume that held your fears at bay a little longer?
We're not judging those strategies.
In fact, we respect that you’re trying to move forward.
We just want to invite you to ask something braver:
What if the version of masculinity you’ve been chasing was never meant to deliver the peace, confidence, or connection you truly want?
Do secure men with a secure sense of masculinity need labels for how others see them? Is that really security?
What We Believe About You
We believe men are more than costumes and labels.
We believe you’re capable of more than performance.
We believe you were made for more than choosing between emotional shutdown and emotional chaos.
We believe you don’t need to dominate, disappear, or detach to be powerful.
We believe a life-giving understanding of what it means to be masculine doesn't lead to those.
We believe in a masculinity that doesn't need someone to be weak so we can feel powerful, and that doesn't require others to be the bad guys so we can be the good guys
We believe what you’re looking for isn’t out there—in a label, a formula, or someone else’s approval.
It’s in here.
In the man you’ve yet to fully meet.
And we believe that once you start becoming him—
the damn world within you and without starts to shift.
Not because you became an alpha or a sigma.
But because you became a man who no longer needs those stories to feel whole.
A Better Question
So we’ll leave you with this—not an answer, but a challenge:
What kind of man would you become if you stopped focusing on performing for others and for validation…
and started healing and living from a full heart?
If that resonates with you, we're here to walk along side you.
