This is a test of one of our biggest features, one that brings men together by leveraging a man’s experience and wisdom for a greater good.
We’ll present Situational Challenges upon which to declare your experience: ‘Been there!’ or ‘There Now!’ or ‘There Soon!’ or ‘Not Applicable.’ We’ll then invite you to join forces with 6-12 others to help a man currently “in it” out…
The way it works is pretty simple:
- You sign up, anonymously.
- We post every Sunday new situational challenge cards.
- You flip through them and declare your experience level with each one.
- We invite you to join a Team to tackle any challenge you’ve declared experience with.
- We invite men with past/current experience to be 1 of 2 Sherpas/the Lead.
- Once six guys join, including the Lead and two Sherpas, a new Team is formed.
- The Lead kicks things off, answering prompts from each of the 4 quadrants.
- As answers are posted, the Sherpas and the others, the Wingmen, add their own $0.02.
- The Team works together to add as much value as possible to each Question.
- When time runs out, the results are edited by us and published on a member-wide Wiki.
CAMARADERIE is a digital platform that enables and encourages shared experience + shared wisdom. Its job is to create connective, collaborative hooks that move men forward in their feeling, thinking and action via story-teling, altruism and solidarity.
- We want men to step up and be heard, unburdening themselves through story-telling
- We want guys to realize they’re not alone, that others have gone through all this, too
- We want guys to do this in the service of others even though they’ll benefit as well

We plan to recruit no more than 200 men for this Alpha. For 6-8 weeks, the expectation is that each man will review the situational challenge cards each Sunday, declare their relative experience, join a team (or two), participate as much as possible, and offer their review of it all. The ask is not less than 30 minutes per week, although it can be more if you have more to give.
You get to be an early member of something that might possibly transform the male constituency of mankind. You’ll get to witness and participate, first-hand, in an attempt to harness man’s desire, expertise and emotions – all in one place. You’ll learn new shit. You might even leave with a new friend or two.
To succeed, any new company (or in our case, co-op) needs to minimize friction for its members. There’s no requirement to stay any longer than your desire and/or schedule allow. You can leave at any time.
