A year-long brotherhood for fathers.
Physical challenge. Mental clarity. Unbreakable bonds.
The transformation your family needs.
For fathers who lead
And refuse to quit
Who model resilience
For their children
Who do hard things
Together
As fathers, we carry weight we don't want others to see.
Our family. Our friends. Co-workers. We may not want to admit it, but the weight carries consequences we become blind to. It creeps into the way we show up daily for our family—whether we're as present as we should be in the moment, all the while drifting further away from the ability to say, "I need help."
The truth is that you, like me, may have the best support system and love of family. Maybe your situation is different. But there were too many mornings where the hollowness in my chest and the reflection of the man I didn't recognize bore more doubt, loneliness, and sadness than I expected.
I looked for answers in the bottom of a whiskey bottle and the pursuit of perception.
Nope.
Sometimes we need an outlet. We need challenge. We need camaraderie and brotherhood—striving to get better together. Where it's okay to simultaneously be vulnerable and strong. To ask for help and to give help. Where mental and physical strength, family and faith are reflected when we, as fathers, look in the mirror.
I think about legacy a lot. How my children look at me. We all know—kids watch more than anything.
I remember my oldest son watching me as I poured my second large glass of whiskey on a weeknight.
There were no words spoken, but he was taking note. It still haunts me.
This outlet is for dads who want and need the challenge, the brotherhood, the space to be pushed to be better for themselves and their families. An outlet for community, mental and physical improvement, a true brotherhood.
That's why we're here.
Provo, Utah. 13.1 miles through scenic mountain terrain. Your first finish line. You're a runner now.
East Moline, Illinois. Flat, fast course. Beat your June time. Prove you're not the same runner.
Custom functional fitness challenge. 8 stations, 8km running. This one you can't do alone. When you're dying, your brother pushes you.
26.2 miles or 50K ultra. One year later, you're not the same man. Your kids watch you finish. This is your proof. This is your legacy.
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

Expert-designed progressive programming. AI-powered journaling. Show up as the dad you want to be.
30-45 min virtual brotherhood circles. Real accountability. No one slips through the cracks.
90-min sessions with expert advisors. Endurance + nutrition. Mental performance. Fatherhood.
Weekend in-person. Deep work. Brotherhood forged. Complete the challenge together.
24/7 brotherhood platform. Regional training pods. Never do it alone again.
You get stronger. Faster. More resilient. You look in the mirror and recognize the man staring back. Your kids see you transform.
The fog lifts. The anxiety quiets. You learn to carry weight without it crushing you. You develop tools that actually work.
You show up present. You model vulnerability. Your marriage improves. Your fatherhood deepens. You're not doing it alone anymore.
Perfect. That's the point. The training is progressive—we build you from wherever you are to ready for each challenge. Our endurance advisor designs programming for complete beginners through experienced runners. You just need to be willing to do the work.
Training: 5-8 hours/week (your schedule). Weekly check-ins: 45 min. Monthly advisor sessions: 90 min. Quarterly events: Full weekend (Fri evening - Sun afternoon), 4x/year. It's significant but manageable for busy dads.
No. The Outlet is built for fathers, but it's open to any man who needs this work. If you're struggling, need brotherhood, and want to do hard things with men who get it—you're welcome here. The fatherhood component will speak to those who have kids, but the core work (challenge, accountability, transformation) applies to all men.
No. The Outlet is for any father who needs a healthier outlet for whatever he's carrying. Some members are in recovery. Some are struggling with drinking but not ready to call it that. Some just need brotherhood and challenge. All are welcome. Our events are alcohol-free, but that's not the focus—the work is.
Life happens. If you miss a event, you still have access to all virtual programming and the brotherhood platform. You won't lose your spot. But the in-person work is where the deepest transformation happens, so we built the schedule a year in advance so you can plan around it.
No. You need to be willing to get in shape. Our training is progressive—we meet you where you are. If you're 50 pounds overweight and haven't exercised in 5 years, we'll build you up safely. If you're already fit but struggling mentally, we'll push you differently. The only requirement is commitment.
No. These are father-only spaces. The work requires vulnerability that's harder when partners are present. Your transformation will improve your marriage, but this is your work to do. She'll see the changes when you come home.
Our programming includes injury prevention and our advisor helps you adjust if issues arise. If you're injured and can't complete a challenge, we work with you on modified participation or alternate challenges. The goal is transformation, not broken bodies.
Events are in the same city as that quarter's race (Cincinnati, Chicago, etc.). This minimizes travel and lets us complete the challenge together on Sunday. Exact venues announced 90 days before each event. We negotiate hotel group rates.
We have payment plans (quarterly or monthly). We also offer the Quarterly option ($1,250) so you can try one quarter before committing to the full year. No one gets turned away purely for money—if this is genuinely what you need, let's talk on the discovery call.
No. Faith is part of my story and some members' stories, but The Outlet isn't religious. We respect all beliefs (and non-belief). The values are universal: showing up, doing hard things, being there for your family. Brotherhood doesn't require shared religion.
We want you to succeed, so we'll work with you if life gets in the way. But there are no refunds—this is a commitment. Before you join, make sure you're ready. The quarterly option exists specifically so you can test before committing to the full year.
No. Our events are alcohol-free. We're here to do hard work, not party. If you need alcohol to bond with other men, this isn't the right fit. Brotherhood is built through shared challenge, vulnerability, and showing up—not drinking.
We're building the founding cohort now. Limited to those who are ready to commit to the work.
