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.
