Community Connection

You M.A.T.R;

You M.A.T.R; was founded by a U.S. Air Force veteran Chris Roness. It’s a community designed by veterans to help veterans reconnect with themselves, their purpose, and each other after a life of service. You M.A.T.R; provides safe spaces for veterans to share stories, heal, and grow resilience for future challenges.

WeBus (We've Been Underestimated)

WeBUS is more than a community; it’s a brotherhood of men and dads committed to showing up for each other through raw, real conversation. Founded by Wes Piatt during a period of personal need, he quickly realized there were other men in need of the same lifeline. With a foundation of deep trust and mutual respect, WeBUS helps men reconnect with themselves and others through community and shared story.

1 Man Army

1 Man Army, founded by Drew McClure, is for solopreneur, the builder without a blueprint, the one who leads with heart but feels stuck in their head. It’s for those tired of overthinking, shrinking, and silently wondering if they’re really cut out for the mission on their life. Some battles no one can fight for you—but that doesn’t mean you’re meant to face them alone. 1 Man Army helps you unlock your power and rise with a tribe that gets it.

Fathers Together

Like its Mothers Together counterpart, Fathers Together is a judgement-free community for dads of neurodivergent children. It's both friendship-focused and connection-driven, so dads can find their people who can relate to their fatherhood journeys, validate their struggles, and celebrate the tiny wins alongside them. Each "Dad Pod" is facilitated by a Captain - a dad in the Fathers Together community ready to welcome new members at the virtual "door", facilitating and prompting conversations to get everyone going. Additionally, dads can choose to participate in conversations that are geared towards specific topics, such as "Dads with ADHD", or "Canadian Dads". Best of all, Fathers Together lives on the Marco Polo app, so that dads from all over the world can participate.Check out this Sharecast for more information on Fathers Together.

Wingman Mental Health

Michael Pund founded Wingman with the mission of creating a more approachable and relatable starting point for men’s mental health support. Since most men see therapy as overkill or too expensive, they do nothing until something breaks. Wingman is the first platform built for the middle ground - licensed therapists repackaged into an innovative, growth-focused, digital format that flexes to your busy schedule. Although Wingman mental health coaches are not providing therapy, their licensure ensures that they are qualified to recognize if or when you need an alternative level of support. Receive daily check-in videos, track real progress, and jump on 30 minute calls when you want them.
