The trainings themselves are packed with information and designed to help you succeed–whether here at The Good Men Project or at any other media company you where you contribute. Our Social Interest Groups (SIGs) will give you an even deeper way into the community by being able to connect with people who share your interests and values.
Are we charging people to write for us? Absolutely not. We have tons of people published every day who aren’t members. Are we charging people to be part of a community where we offer everything in our arsenal to help them to be successful with their content and the change they want to create in the world? Yes, yes we are. And we’re kind of proud of just how much we give our members.
It’s a community unlike any other. And we think you’re going to like it here.

I was going to say the same thing, DJ! You look at the man box and see its really nothing more then a mime’s performance clear cage. So you move 2 steps to a side and voila, out of the box that never was . You just gotta have the courage to see reality. So maybe the question is how a man can develop personal courage to do what you wanna do.
hah, Did not fall overboard, I jumped, long ago.
How do we help? By not just swimming away, but turning and telling other men that the water feels great, jump.
