Welcome to our community. I'm Brad Sherwood, founder of MENxNATURE. My life and journey as a father, husband, and leader has been deeply influenced by my three beautiful daughters and my loving wife of 10 years, whose presence has continually reminded me of the immense responsibility and privilege I hold.

My faith, intertwined with my love for the outdoors, has been a cornerstone, guiding me through life's challenges and triumphs. In this rapidly changing world, I've felt a pressing need to reconnect with the fundamental principles that define true, authentic masculinity - principles deeply rooted in nature, faith, and tradition.

I started MENxNATURE to create a space where men can reclaim their roles as strong, compassionate leaders, while also fostering personal growth. For me, it's more than just a platform; it's a personal mission to inspire and equip men, just like myself, to embrace our genuine selves while positively impacting our families, communities, and the world at large.

Our Mission

At MENxNATURE, we're embarking on a mission fueled by a profound belief: that by empowering men, we have the potential to catalyze transformative change in the world. We recognize that men hold pivotal roles within our families, communities, and society. Our driving purpose is to provide men with the tools, knowledge, and unwavering support they need to become the best versions of themselves.

Through our community, we aim to cultivate qualities such as leadership, responsibility, and resilience, not only enriching men's lives but also setting in motion a ripple effect that extends far beyond their personal spheres.

We envision a world where men are not only leaders but also compassionate caregivers, mentors, and advocates for the values that hold paramount importance: family, integrity, and autonomy. At MENxNATURE, we offer empowerment through a carefully curated blend of leadership and skills-based articles and videos, compelling content shared by our diverse community, and a robust support network crafted to foster genuine connections.

While our love for the outdoors undeniably influences our philosophy, the "NATURE" in MENxNATURE is a reflection of a deeper aspiration: the nurturing of your human nature as a man. It's about embracing the innate qualities that empower you to find confidence and fulfillment within yourself, subsequently enhancing not only your life but also the lives of those around you.

Our "Why"

Our society often sends a perplexing message, one that suggests that by participating in so-called "manly" activities and adhering to conventional notions of masculinity, we inadvertently propagate a culture of toxicity. This culture is seen as promoting aggressiveness, domination, and the suppression of emotions. While individuals who embody such traits certainly exist, at MENxNATURE, we hold a different perspective.

We firmly believe that authentic masculine traits can be both healthy and positive. Our unwavering commitment lies in cultivating a community where these traits are not only celebrated but also encouraged to flourish. We maintain that being a man encompasses a rich spectrum of qualities and characteristics that make each individual unique. There is nothing inherently wrong with a man who finds joy in activities such as shooting, fishing, crafting, or honing survival techniques.

Our Five Core Goals:

1. Empower Men: We strive to provide men with the resources, guidance, and support they need to empower themselves, enhance their lives, and contribute positively to society.

2. Promote Positive Change: Through inspirational content, personal growth, and community building, we aim to inspire men to become leaders, mentors, caregivers, and advocates for values such as family, integrity, and autonomy.

3. Build a Supportive Community: We are committed to establishing a vibrant community where men can connect, share their experiences, and find camaraderie on their journeys toward personal growth.

4. Foster Healthy Masculinity: MENxNATURE is dedicated to challenging stereotypes and redefining masculinity by celebrating a broad range of masculine qualities and encouraging men to embrace their individuality.

5. Champion Continuous Learning: At MENxNATURE, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge and growth. We are dedicated to fostering an environment that encourages men to constantly seek wisdom, embrace new experiences, and broaden their horizons, helping them become well-rounded individuals in all facets of life.

What the Future Holds for MENxNATURE

MENxNATURE is more than just a website; it's a dynamic and evolving community dedicated to the holistic development of men. While our online platform offers a wealth of valuable content, we recognize the importance of taking the experience beyond the digital realm.

That's why we are actively working on a range of exciting activities and events that allow men to come together in person, learn essential skills, and build meaningful relationships. From workshops and skill-building classes to life-changing adventures in the great outdoors, we aim to provide opportunities for personal growth and authentic connections. Through these endeavors, we aspire to create a strong and admirable community that not only benefits our members but also serves as a source of inspiration and positive change for outsiders looking in.

We invite you to join us on this transformative journey as we empower men to become catalysts for positive change within themselves and society. Together, we can create a world where men thrive, embracing their true selves and making a lasting impact on the world around them.
