This week on Real Men Feel, Andy Grant and Appio Hunter discover the path to the creation of The Men School, a school dedicated to cultivating the divine masculine in all of us with the school’s founder, Jan Darwin Hutchins.
“Why, after having been a lone wolf all my life, did I feel so alone?” ~Jan Darwin Hutchins
Jan was successful at a young age, living the dream as a TV sports anchor, yet he felt somewhat empty. In his 50s he realized he had made no real friends over his life.
An experience witnessing the support a dying friend received from a men’s group helped Jan discover that he was not alone and that he could trust other men. He learned there was an initiation he could do to become one of those men. Jan did it and confirmed that he was not alone, didn’t need to be alone and could trust men.
The problem with life is there is no end to the problems.
Topics Covered Include:
- Jan’s background including TV news, politics, yoga and more.
- What lead to the creation of The Men School?
- The masks we all wear.
- The need for and benefits of doing the inner work.
- The power of men’s groups.
- The current state of The Men’s School and plans for the future.
- Do we ever graduate from Men School?
- Jan shares some research on wolves in Yellowstone.
- OKness and presence.
- The MankindProject
- How does a man find his truth?
- Is life simple or hard?

TheMenSchool
“We are a learning community cultivating the sacred deep masculine in us all.”
As social animals, we require a source of stabilization from outside ourselves. Our shared connections and, co-corrections, literally keep us sane.
TheMenSchool is here to:
—keep learning to model the divine masculine
—see you excel in your individual life
When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100% of the time.~Byron Katie
