ABOUT US
We Believe Men Thrive in Connection
Authentc Men is a men’s community grounded in embodiment, emotional awareness, and brotherhood. We create spaces where men can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build meaningful relationships with other men — without judgment or performance.
In a culture that teaches men to carry everything alone, Authentc Men offers something different: real support, grounded growth, and authentic connection.
Why Authentc Men Exists.
Many men today feel disconnected — from their bodies, their emotions, and their relationships. Even men who appear successful often experience isolation, stress, and a lack of meaningful support.
Authentc Men was created to meet this need.
We believe men grow best when they feel safe enough to be honest, grounded enough to feel, and supported enough to change. Our work helps men regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their values, and experience brotherhood that carries into real life.
At Authentc Men we connect men. To themselves. To each other. To the world.
We guide men to achieve true masculine strength through openness, assertive vulnerability, honest communication, and genuine connection.
These become the pillars of their best life as they engage in their careers, family life, relationships, and communities.
We believe that the Authentic Man is deserving of walking this path. We believe that every man has the capacity to be an Authentic Man.
“Men in today’s society are struggling. We are struggling with societal pressures, a changing economy, relationship issues, a lack of friendships, and loneliness all of which can lead to - addiction, mental health issues, and failed relationships.”
We aim to change that.
The Ideal of Modern Masculinity
What does it mean to be a man today?
Outdated models of masculinity — stoicism, isolation, and dominance — have left many men disconnected from themselves and others. This has contributed to unhealthy relationships, loneliness, and emotional burnout.
Authentc Men offers a new model of masculinity rooted in embodiment, emotional intelligence, and brotherhood. We provide men with the tools, structure, and examples needed to lead with presence, strength, and integrity.
This is a path toward living authentically — as grounded leaders, fathers, partners, and men in connection with others.
How we support men
At Authentc Men, we help men embody modern masculinity through lived experience, not theory.
Our approach combines somatic practices, structured men’s groups, and honest conversation to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and relational growth. Men learn how to stay present under stress, communicate with clarity, and lead with integrity in their daily lives.
This work creates lasting change — not by forcing transformation, but by supporting men in coming home to themselves and each other.
Who We are
Authentc Men was founded by men committed to integrity, presence, and embodied leadership. Our founders bring together backgrounds in somatic work, mental health, and men’s facilitation — grounded in lived experience, not performance.
Rather than positioning ourselves as experts above the work, we walk alongside the men we serve — continually doing the work ourselves.
The co-founders of Authentc Men, Phillip, Tom, and Dan, have been on a path of personal development for decades. They met at a men’s retreat, the first one any of them attended. Their initial shared awareness and connection was a desire to serve others, specifically men. They have all experienced firsthand the profound improvements that men’s work plays in their lives, and they want to guide other men to - and through - this work.
Meet Phillip
Phillip has an exceptional reputation as a successful business leader, owning, operating, and scaling public and private manufacturing businesses over the last 30 years. His skills as an expert negotiator that sees potential where others cannot, makes him a natural fit in the competitive New York marketplace. His mantra and ethos is to bring authenticity to every interaction, and he engages current and potential clients with a personal approach. “My overwhelming desire and goal is to be in a position to help people improve the quality of their lives through a Holistic connection between their environment and their lifestyle”. Committed lifelong fitness lifestyle including twelve years’ experience as a Cross Fit athlete, a lifelong runner, weightlifter both competitively and recreationally, and a nutrition expert for performance maximization in athletics.
Meet Tom
Tom has worked in the public service and education sector for the past 35 years. As a social worker, counselor and community change agent, He has first-hand knowledge about how relationships truly can change communities and therefore the lives of people. His work in Higher Education for the past 20 years has shown him how men are showing up in the community. Many are trying to make their environment work for them in isolation and as a result often find themselves feeling lost and disconnected with limited support. Men are being told that the world is at their finger tips, but are faced with a world of competition where success is defined in a limited way. He is committed to assisting men to find a better way to build a community that helps them connect not only with each other but in life.
Meet Dan
Dan didn’t come to this work because he had it all figured out. He came to it because he didn’t.
After earning his Master’s in Social Work—and now practicing as a licensed therapist—Dan realized that healing and growth rarely happen through insight alone. Over the past decade, his path has been shaped by one core question: what actually helps men change at a deeper level? His journey has included corporate life, entrepreneurship, coaching leaders, and building in the mental health space—but the work that matters most came through lived experience. Divorce, financial instability, addiction, and losing his sense of direction forced Dan to confront himself honestly. Men’s work and brotherhood helped him reconnect to his body, his strength, and his integrity. It showed him that this work isn’t a profession—it’s a practice, a responsibility, and a way of living. Today, Dan supports men who look “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected inside—men seeking depth, truth, and real connection. His work is grounded, human, and relational, rooted in the belief that men heal best together.
