Forum preview
The conversations you can’t have at the office or on the sidelines.
Some things don’t fit in a staff meeting. They don’t fit on the bleachers either. Here, the business and the family come up in the same breath, with men who carry both.
See example topicsA look at the board
Both jobs. One board.
These are sample titles, written to show the kinds of things dads bring here. They aren’t real posts. The real threads stay with members, and that’s the point.
- Both
Hiring my first employee while my wife’s on maternity leave
- Business
Raising prices on the customers who got me started
- Family
My daughter asked why I’m always on my phone at dinner
- Both
Can you take a real vacation when you are the business?
- Business
Cash is tight this quarter. Do I tell my crew?
- Family
Coming home wound up and taking it out on the kids
- Both
Turning down a big job so I can coach his season
House rules
How we talk in here.
No stage, no pitch deck, no pretending. Four rules keep it that way.
Be honest.
Say how it’s really going, at work and at home. Nobody here needs your highlight reel.
No pitching.
Nobody sells courses, coaching or anything else. You came for peers, not a funnel.
It stays here.
What’s said here stays here. The hard stuff only gets said where it’s safe.
Help the next guy.
If you’ve been through it, say so. If you haven’t, listen.
Members see the real threads.
Apply, have a short conversation, and you’re in. Then the board opens up, and you can finally post the thing you haven’t said out loud.
Rather talk first? Call or text. Or see how members meet in person.
