The Origin Story
Man Morning began with a simple idea:
Meet at 7 AM for a hike instead of 7 PM at a bar.
See what happens when you switch coffee for cocktails.
What Really Happened
A group of men in Los Angeles.
Different backgrounds.
Different careers.
Same desire to get better.
Every Thursday morning:
Phones on airplane mode.
One hour hike.
Real conversations.
What We Talked About
Everything that mattered:
Business ideas.
Relationship challenges.
Personal finances.
Life's real stuff.
No topic off limits.
No judgment.
Just truth.
What It Created
Men who:
Made each other better
Called each other up (not out)
Built real connections
Stacked wins together
The Simple Framework
3-6 men
One hour
Early morning
Phones away
Regular meetings
Two Questions That Changed Everything
"What are you celebrating?"
"What are you navigating?"
Why It Works
No selling.
No networking.
No nonsense.
Just men getting better.
Together.
Today
Almost 10 years later, that original group still meets.
This newsletter brings that same energy to your inbox.
Because we all get better when we show up for each other.
