My favorite community experience on Skool at the moment!
CLUES is a special place because of its unique charismatic leader. Ruben ensures an utmost level of integration and organization of all the parts that go into a fleshed out, thriving community. When you decide to go with the current no-brainer offer that gets you the Premium package at a heavily reduced price, Ruben personally audits your community within days! The feedback provided is very very helpful. There are so many things for you to improve upon that only an outsider can notice. Except not just any outsider, but one who knows how to engineer the near-perfect Skool community culture in their own community. Inside CLUES, this dedication to excellence is on the daily agenda.

Curiosity Leaves CLUES
I have enjoyed the challenges and how my own curiosity has been re-sparked. A great community of adventurers supporting each other.

Curiosity is what drives us all - especially inside CLUES
Ruben is amazing guy, always curious and friendly, making everyone feel great. I’ve joined to learn what works and what not for making my own community engage better, and I’ve learned many lessons just seeing what Ruben does and how he interacts with everyone.

Really needed
Known Sean for a year or so now. And he has an energy that is really needed for men today. He is coaching me now on how to keep myself accountable and things are going great.

Amazing Supportive Community for Men!
I highly recommend this Community that Sean and the team have put together. I find the space very comforting and supportive and it allows men to engage and interact without the fear of being judged. If you want a place where you want to belong then look no further. Join today!

Grateful to be part of this amazing community!
Being real, genuine, and vulnerable is the bare minimum in the Men Forge Forward. It's such a unique space in which you are celebrated for who you are. You are supported in all your struggles and challenges by a great group of men who are ready to be there for each other regardless of the circumstances at hand. Opening up and being vulnerable is not always easy, but in this community, it feels safe and just right to do so. That is worth a lot and I am so incredibly grateful to be part of it! On top of that, we are learning a lot together, whether it's by sharing our experiences or having fun, this place contributes so much to your personal development, well-being, and happiness in life. Sean being the host of this community makes this a one of a kind community you would love to become part of. By the way Sean is not just the host, he is one of the kindest persons you'll come across on Skool. Let's keep Forging Forward!
