We're creating the community we wish we had.
We created RISE because we needed a place where leaders could openly talk about work, home and faith - all at the same time with a trusted group of brothers. A place to grow professionally and lead our families well. A place to share how faith shapes both our businesses and our homes. A place to learn from each other and pursue lives of purpose and intention.
We wanted to surround ourselves with people who make us better. We believe that's you. If you're looking for the same, join us!
OUR VALUES

We Live Authentically
We walk in truth and humility, honoring each man's journey. Through genuine relationships and open hearts, we build trust that runs deep. Our strength grows as we share our stories, listen with empathy and stand beside each other in life's real moments.
We Aim For Impact
Our impact is intentional and focused. When we grow, our families flourish, our teams excel, our communities thrive. We target our efforts where they matter most, creating change that spans generations.
About Our Founder - Cory Carlson
As an entrepreneur, former executive, husband and father of three, Cory understands the pressures working men face. He is passionate about helping business leaders win at work and at home.
Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages and absentee parents. Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.
When Cory discovered leadership coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband and father. So he left his corporate career to help other leaders win at work and at home. Cory does this through executive coaching, speaking and the RISE community.
Currently, Cory lives in Cincinnati with his awesome wife and three amazing children.
Cory has a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.
Coach, Author, Speaker & Podcast Host
In addition to coaching and speaking, Cory is the author of Win at Home First, an inspirational guide for work-life balance - and Rise and Go, a resource to help leaders get back up quicker after getting knocked down.
He also hosts the Win at Home First podcast.
