WHAT IS A STAGE 5 MAN?

I've been getting a few messages lately asking, “Coach, what exactly is a Stage 5 man?”

Here’s how I see it:

He’s a mature man.

A responsible man.

But more than that—he’s intentional.

And let me be real…

There was a time in my life when I thought as long as I was making money and providing, I was good.

That’s how I measured my value.

But the truth is, I was missing it.

I was showing up financially, but I wasn’t showing up emotionally.

I wasn’t leading.

I wasn’t connected.

I wasn’t being vulnerable with my wife, my kids, or even with myself.

I was just… existing.

Checking the boxes, but not really building.

A Stage 5 man is different.

He’s locked in mentally—disciplined in how he thinks.
He prioritizes his health—what he eats, how he moves, and how he rests.
He’s intentional about connection—with his wife, his family, and his own inner work.
He’s financially focused—setting goals, building awareness, and creating freedom.
And he’s grounded—spiritually, emotionally, soulfully.
