I’m not certain how I came across JB’s book “Remember the Mission” but it led me to the ELITE28 programme at the time I desperately needed it. I was completely adrift and wasn’t showing up for my kids or partner and was struggling at work too. Suicidal ideation dominated my days and I had given up trying to take care of myself.

I’ve known for years that I was in trouble but I couldn’t see a route out. 

Working with JB and the Brotherhood has created structure and accountability for me within a community that helps make sense of my struggles. The routines I’ve learned underpin a healthy attitude to my professional and personal commitments, while building appropriate boundaries and consideration for where my energy and focus is going. It’s no surprise that with this in place my focus is on my kids, where it should be. 

To any other man who’s struggling, this is a tangible step to long term, sustainable improvement. There’s no switch to flick, but there are structures, routines and rituals that will drag you back day by day. Life’s hard, even when things are going well and doing it alone is not the answer. Working with the team on the ELITE28 is allowing me to lead myself, so I can lead the people who matter most. Its demonstrably improving my life and if you’re looking for a reason the get out of a tough time, I’d expect it’s so the same thing for any other man.
