MEN LOSE WHEN THEY'RE:

CRUSHING IT AT WORK,

CRASHING AT HOME

You're the go-to guy at work, but your family's getting the leftovers. Between endless emails, back-to-back meetings and late nights, quality time keeps getting pushed.

STALLED OUT AT WORK,

SEEKING PURPOSE

You know you're built for more, but you've stalled out. Work feels more like "going through the motions" than fulfillment. No mentors, no roadmap for growth - just spinning your wheels.

LOOKING GOOD OUTSIDE,

FEELING EMPTY INSIDE

You've got the title, the house, the car and the family photos on your desk. But behind closed doors, you're more like roommates with your wife, and conversations with your kids don't go deeper than "How was school?".

RISE MEMBER REVIEWS

"When I heard about RISE, it was a no-brainer. My last men's group fell apart earlier this year, and I've felt that missing piece ever since. It was time to get back in, have some real accountability, and build into each other again. The brotherhood here is exactly what I needed to keep growing as a husband and leader. Just a month after joining RISE I've been encouraged by the authenticity & vulnerability of the leaders and men of the community. I needed a push, and I found it in RISE!"

"Been in plenty of men's groups, but wanted something different - a place where guys could be bold about mixing faith and business. Lost a friend to cancer, which led me to Brian Tome's podcast, then to Cory, then to RISE. Funny how God connects the dots. Turned out to be exactly what I was looking for."

"I've gone from top-ranked MMA fighter to running my own marketing agency and raising four kids. I know how to push myself, but being a good dad and business leader is a different kind of fight. My friend told me about RISE, and it's exactly what I needed—real tools and guys who want to grow in both areas."

"I went from being a teacher and principal to doing corporate training at JB Hunt. I joined RISE to focus less on success and more on significance. I have two young daughters, and I want to leave them a real legacy. A legacy of serving God and loving others. I joined RISE - to learn how to make an impact that matters, not just climb the corporate ladder."

"I spent the last 25 years in manufacturing and operations and now I'm figuring out what's next. Twelve years ago my wife and I said yes to adopting three kids from Haiti to join our three biological children. That taught me about stepping out in faith. RISE gives me the community I need for this next big step - guys who understand both business and trusting God's plan."

"I joined RISE at the perfect time. I had just merged two Boys & Girls Clubs, and I'm leading a blended family with three sons. I know the importance of investing in yourself. It impacts everyone around you. RISE is a great place to grow with other leaders who get it. I feel Rise gives me the accountability they want. It’s an outlet for men to grow and share their experiences and resources."

Married for 15 years. We have five boys between 2 and 11, so our basement (and whole house) is basically a sports arena. Lead a technical team at P&G by day, and recently started biblical counseling on the side. Also run a men's conference for 200 guys at our church. The RISE community has been huge for me. I jump in there every day to share wins and challenges with guys who understand the juggling act of being a dad, husband, leader, and counselor. We are stronger together.”

"I spent 19 years in our family business before it was sold, and the last two years without executive coaching left me feeling like I needed to invest in myself again. I've got three great kids - from college age down to fifth grade. Even though home life is solid, I knew I needed to get back to operating at a high level. RISE gives me that push to be more intentional."

"After 20 years at Fifth Third, I've got the business side down. But with two daughters, ages 8 and 6, I want to be more intentional about everything - especially bringing my faith into both work and parenting. I also recognize the importance of developing my leadership skills to better guide my family and team. Joined RISE because I need a community of guys who'll hold me accountable and help me grow in all these areas, not just professionally."

From CEOs, sales and finance guys to solopreneurs and business owners - they're all driven, accomplished, and lead with humility, faith and commitment to being the best leaders for their teams and families. Learning from their challenges and experiences is extremely valuable. It's not easy to find that."

"I lead a 600-person technology consulting team, but my biggest leadership challenge is at home with six kids—one teenage daughter and five boys from 15 down to 6. After 23 years in engineering leadership, I joined RISE because I want to keep growing while being more intentional with my family. The weekly coaching and community help me tackle both worlds head-on, giving me practical tools I can use right away."

"The RISE community has been a game changer. We have deep conversations but also have a ton of fun! Everyone is trying to grow stronger in their faith, home life, and work life which creates an electric environment of high achievers. On top of that, having regular leadership training on a weekly basis is helping me grow in so many ways. Cory is an amazing coach and leader. I would recommend RISE to anyone who is trying to win in the areas of faith, home, and work."
