Luke had Obi-Wan. Aragorn had Legolas and Gimli. Even Michael Jordan had a coach, and teammates.
Men need each other. Every “lone wolf” needs a hunting partner. Or a pack.
The Campfire
Asking for help doesn’t make men weak. Pretending we don’t need it does. For thousands of years men helped each other grow around a campfire: elders instructed the young men, who tested each other to make their knowledge real. My offerings recreate those practices.
- The Council: my weekly conversation for a circle of men becoming the best that they can be.
- Renaissance Coaching: my custom one-to-one process to help you triumph via a personal Renaissance.
- Deep Listening: an opportunity to find answers by tapping into sources of inner wisdom.
The Council
What can I expect to get out of The Council?
## THE COUNCIL IS NOT CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED ##
A weekly online circle of men dedicated to self-improvement and to bringing their best self forth in service of their brothers.
A facilitated conversation that’s kept on track, so we all go the same direction.
A confidential space to speak, share wisdom, and express what you’ve learned through your unique experience.
Invaluable insights gained from men with a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and creeds.
How many friends do you have in real life who are on a path of growth? If you’re lucky maybe one or two. But how much stronger could we be, as men, if we had a consistent circle of brothers around us, walking the same road in different ways?
Enter The Council, a curated circle of 4-8 men committed to advancing their personal development together. Once a week we meet online to talk about our lives as we’re living them: the challenges we’re facing, the changes we’re making, and even our greatest joys and triumphs.
What makes The Council different from other groups, however, is that I won’t be sharing much. Instead, I’ll serve as a leader, a guide, and the man making sure the proceedings stay on track. By doing so I create a protected space for you to relax, to receive deep wisdom, and discover your own in service of your brothers.

What can I expect to get out of Renaissance Coaching?
A radically new view on yourself as a human being, your health, and your life as a man.
Expert guidance in identifying your most potent desires and how to bring them into reality.
Support in developing achievable milestones to embody your Purpose, Passion, and Place… plus accountability when you fall short.
Total commitment from an accomplished man who wants you to become the best version of yourself.
The Renaissance isn’t happening in the world, it’s happening through each of us, as men. When we bring forth our lives of Purpose, Passion, and Place, we create the Renaissance through our actions.
But we can’t do it alone. Few of us received the mentorship as boys that we needed to succeed as men in this changing society. Could even the best father have predicted 2020?
That’s where I come in. As your coach, I help you understand yourself to see what you really want. We identify what’s in your way, make a plan to overcome obstacles, and with my custom-designed tools we build unstoppable momentum.
Power is generated in the space between focused men. In a series of twelve 75-minute sessions plus daily support through Telegram, we generate that together to fuel your personal renaissance and the Renaissance of Men.
Will is a deep and active observer of the human spirit. His insights into what I struggle with have proved invaluable and are delivered in way that is both digestible and usable in the inner and physical world with real results. He operates from a mindset of optimism and abundance honed through a life of active experience and a humbling honor for that which is greater than himself . I am both more of myself and a man because of the hard work we have accomplished together thus far

$160 / session
What can I expect to get out of Deep Listening?
A full 60 minutes to speak and be heard about what’s happening in your heart and life.
A thoughtful perspective from someone outside your social and family circle.
A space to simply be, with a man who understands what it means to be a man and the challenges that entails.
Zero judgment. And zero commitments.
To know what we think, sometimes we need to hear ourselves say it. Finding a place to speak that truth, however, can be difficult. Friends and family have their wants and needs for us. Strangers aren’t invested. And talking to ourselves rarely helps.
What we need as men is a confidential space to speak and be heard by a man who’s thoughtful, objective, and most of all, engaged. Ideally that man would also be able to help us tease out the deeper truths behind our words and see what we’re missing.
I create that space for you in Deep Listening. It’s your opportunity to look within to find wisdom to face your challenges. And it’s a chance to be heard and know that no matter what you’re going through, you’re not alone.
Please email info@renofmen.com to schedule a session.
I had a Deep Listening session with Will. 100% recommended. I wanted an outside opinion on some issues and Will made it easy to open up and trust his feedback. We went deep with some visualization techniques that were new to me and it was intense in a good way. We did a lot in a short time and I’m looking forward to my next session.
Jon DI have a lot of energy and momentum in my work and my life and I'm doing what I can to avoid being on social media. This shift was brought on by a conversation I had recently with Will, so if you're struggling with direction, clarity, energy, masculinity or anything else you should absolutely seek out a conversation with him. It could change your life.

Coaching FAQs
Can’t find an answer below? Get in touch
1. Why do I need Renaissance Coaching?
Holistic masculinity is the ongoing pursuit of excellence towards an ideal. We never actually get there. Therefore, every man needs a coach, because we can always be better. Even Michael Jordan had a coach at the height of his career.
A coach helps you identify the best version of yourself—the man you want to be—and helps you build a plan to become him.
A coach also keeps you on track and accountable for your stated goals. He reminds you of that best version of yourself when life gets chaotic.
Last but not least, a coach celebrates with you when you succeed. Then he works with you to prepare for your next victory, and the next.
Every step of the way, a coach is the man you lean on and look to, to help bring your evolving dreams into reality.
2. What makes Renaissance Coaching different from other coaches?
Most coaches work with clients’ outer lives: goals, deliverables, and plans.
Therapists and counselors work with clients’ inner lives: beliefs, histories, and emotional struggles.
My Renaissance Coaching blends these practices. By helping my clients to acknowledge and alchemically transmute the “stuff” of their inner lives, their outer goals become less daunting. By facilitating my clients’ progress towards their outer goals, the struggles of their inner lives lose power over them.
These processes aren’t separate. They work hand-in-hand to create your own personal Renaissance.
This can be a demanding process, but the Renaissance of Men demands the best of the men who join. Because we’re the men who’ll create a better world.
3. What can I expect to get out of Renaissance Coaching?
As with all things, you’ll get out what you put in. I can’t do the work for you. Your commitment to your growth and transformation—and willingness to put in the effort— will determine the magnitude of your success.
However, even if you decide to do no work at all, you’ll receive a framework that will fundamentally transform how you understand yourself and your life. You’ll see the world more clearly and understand your place in it.
That alone can be enough to create a meaningful shift.
4. What is the difference between Renaissance Coaching and Deep Listening?
In Renaissance Coaching, you and I develop a plan to advance your life in key areas, from physical fitness to emotional and spiritual health. We establish deliverables and a schedule, and I keep you accountable to your stated goals.
Deep Listening is different. Sometimes men need a space to speak about what’s going on with them. Nothing needs to be “fixed,” no plans need to be made, and no goals need to be achieved. We just need someone to talk to, someone outside our lives who’ll listen to us, and give us space to be heard.
Deep Listening gives you a chance to hear your own thoughts out loud, work through things, and receive feedback about ways of perceiving that may be holding you back. It’s a way of seeing your blind spot, but unlike coaching there are no deliverables.
Also, Deep Listening sessions are 60 minutes, while Renaissance Coaching sessions are 75 minutes. Deep Listening sessions can be purchased one-off—though I recommend a minimum of 6. Renaissance Coaching sessions are purchased in packages of 12.
5. I’m afraid to open up. Is Renaissance Coaching still for me?
Fear of opening up to others is one of the best reasons to sign up for Renaissance Coaching.
Fear of opening up holds us back from meaningful connections with loved ones, from speaking up at work on our behalf, and from discovering our inborn creativity.
If you’re afraid to open up, it probably means you have a lot to share. And if that’s the case, then I guarantee that there are people in your life that need to hear it.
A coach can help you surface that inner world, which will enable you to lead a more fulfilling life and be a more fulfilled participant in all of your relationships, as well.
6. Why is Renaissance Coaching so expensive? Do you offer discounts?
Renaissance Coaching isn’t expensive when you consider some potential benefits: a fitter body, more fulfilling relationships, success in your creative and entrepreneurial pursuits, financial security, a clear mind and heart, peace with your personal history, and the accomplishment of anything you put your mind to.
How much would you pay to have just one of these? Probably more than the cost of Renaissance Coaching.
I determine my pricing with three factors:
- Total Commitment: I want nothing more than for you to succeed. In fact, it’s my life’s mission to help bring out the best in men. Period.
- Wisdom: I’ve explored countless religious and spiritual traditions around the world to develop my coaching practices. It’s hard to find a coach with the same breadth of worldly experience.
- Confidence: Mine is a superior approach, and I believe in that fully. And a man who is prepared to make this financial commitment is a man who is prepared to do great things.
Finally, I don’t offer discounts on coaching packages. However, Renaissance Coaching clients do receive community discounts for add-on products like online courses and merchandise as they’re released.
7. Will what I share be kept confidential?
Yes. Everything you share will be kept in strict professional confidence. I do not record sessions, and I conduct them in a private setting.
9. What is your background?
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication from Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. Communication is what I love to do.
I’ve also been on my own 20-year journey of transformation, from dark and difficult places in my life—grief, shame, weight problems—into a fulfilled man who took control of his life and made it into an expression of his identity. Visit my “About Me” page for more.
I’ve also attended transformational retreats around the world—in countries like India, Peru, and Bali—and had the chance to learn from great healers. This has taught me what works in a variety of diverse contexts and with individuals from many different backgrounds.
