What Happens When 6 Men Meet Monthly for 3 Hours (No Advice. No Fixing.)

Brent Perkins is a father of two, author of Paper Cuts, and a Front Row Dad since 2022. He's also the man behind the growth of our band program — the small groups of four to eight men who meet monthly for three hours to do the kind of work most guys never get access to. In this conversation, Jon and Brent dig into what actually happens when men stop performing and start being real with each other. Why bands have become the number one rated feature in our community. What the edge of vulnerability looks like. And why the skills you build sitting with other men transfer directly to how you show up at home with your wife and kids. If you've ever felt like the rock for everyone else with nowhere to lean — or if you've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and still feel stuck — this one might be the nudge you've been waiting for.
