Men getting real with each other, it's a place where you can be truly "Authentic" Even if you are not ready to share membership is amazing. The coffee hours have been a great casual event to get to know other men. Andy is a gracious host.

Andy leads with vulnerability and it paves the way for everyone else in the community. Andy always approaches things from a glass half full perspective. He’s a great listener and an even better human being. Even though he has this scary presence to some, he’s a big teddy bear with a big heart who just wants to help people. Everyone needs an Andy in their corner, and Authentic AF is perfectly suited for what Andy offers.

Silence kills men. Connection saves us.

Saves ~3 hours per week vs. going solo
That's 13.0 hrs per month — worth about $650 of your time
Authentic AF is free to join. At 3 hours per week, you're investing about 13.0 hrs per month of your time (worth roughly $650 at your rate). Compared to searching for the same answers on your own (6 hrs/wk), the community saves you about 3 hours each week by putting everything in one place.
Relaxed, grounded, open, authentic, and supportive.
As a survivor of multiple suicide attempts, I know how low we can go. As the host of the award-winning podcast, Real Men Feel, I know how magnificent and joyful we can feel, too. I want to make suicide a rarity and make joy synonymous with masculinity.

Who are you and why did you join Authentic AF?
Hi, I'm Joe Duramo. I joined Authentic AF. I've known Andy for a few years now. I met him through MKP. We staffed together and I just really liked him. He was a good guy, fun to be around and I knew he had the community and I just, I don't know, I just started answering some of the prompts and it just felt good. It's been a nice addition to my day.
What's it actually been like being a member?
And he's a fun guy. I like the daily prompts, and sometimes I'm moved to contribute, sometimes I'm not. As a copywriter and marketing professional, I have to engage people a lot, so I guess I empathize with somebody who's trying to create some engagement. So I just started responding, and it's been more fun, and I've jumped on a few coffees. I'm typically writing my newsletters on Sunday mornings, so I'm aware that there's a call at 10 o'clock, and if time allows, I join it, if not, I don't. But it's kind of nice knowing it's there if I want to just do a quick check-in.
Who would benefit most from this, and who wouldn't?
Honestly, I don't know why and I think every man would benefit from just having a little time with other men and just having kind of letting your hair down and being able to share whatever it is that's on your mind. There's not a lot of people in our daily lives who are willing to give us that space and Andy provides it without charge and without prejudice, without judgment and it's just a reassuring thing to have and I wish more men would take advantage of it.
What I enjoyed most ! is written in the title of this community. Andy's truly Authentic.AF
I went through one of his meditation session and! It was amazing!.
A lot of times I find it hard to shut out the noise! and Andy was able to assist me in shutting it out and Centering myself. WoW
And the noise stopped.
It was One of the best experiences I've had in a long time!
One of his secrets, his patience and if I had to add one more, it would probably be awareness
I could feel his awareness every time.. I kept coming back to the surface he would gently, and patiently guide me back.
Thank you, Andy
Ps If the noise ever gets too loud for you, he's your guy!
Andy GrantOwnerThanks, Thomas. I'm so glad you had a great experience with your very first Max Meditation.
