November 12–15, 2026 · Austin, Texas
A brotherhood mastermind for driven dudes, where the most fun you'll ever have and the most important work of your life happen at the same time, with men who make you better just by being around them.
Look great naked, and feel even better than you look.
Go on wild adventures where you feel unmistakably alive, sharing peak experiences with your best friends.
Have the best sex of your life, because you turned into a man who is actually present in the room.
Make more money with less effort, because your value is your leadership, not your hours.
Live a life your family is proud of, and your grandkids beg to hear about.
The Mandate Summit
The group fasts together for two days. Not as a biohack. Remove the buffer most men use to avoid feeling anything, and what is underneath gets loud.
The fast is broken in ceremony with Mansal Denton, honouring how the food arrived. Then everyone eats, properly.
Breathwork, bioenergetics, body psychotherapy, sauna and cold plunge contrast therapy.
Confession, shadow work and radical honesty in small groups, held by facilitators who have done it themselves.
Austin, Texas. Food is included on the days the group is eating. Lodging is not included.
Read the full detailThe Mandate Gap
You are the one everyone leans on, and you have no one to lean on yourself.
Passion at home got replaced by logistics about calendars and kids.
You have friends. You do not have a squad that pushes you to be great rather than letting you stay good.
You are successful enough to buy the toys and take the trips, and none of it lands the way it should.
You can feel there is a more alive version of you, and you cannot get to him on your own.
The method
The arc of the four days, and the reason men leave with something that survives the drive home.
Down — Into the body
Breathwork, bioenergetics and somatic practice to move what is stuck.
Down — Into the emotions
Confession, shadow work and radical honesty, in a room that can hold it.
Up — Into clarity and action
Competition, celebration and the plan you actually take home.
The Core Four
Stories
Five years, not one weekend.
Where he started
A lawyer in his mid-thirties who read as successful from the outside and felt the opposite from the inside. Overweight, unhappy, and quietly certain the life he was building was not the one he wanted.
What changed
Over about five years he rebuilt his health, ended a relationship that was heading somewhere he did not want to go, left law, and trained as a men's coach. He now leads alongside Jordan at The Mandate.
The marriage was the thing he thought he was losing.
Where he started
First spoke with Jordan from a hotel room. He was out of his house, his marriage was close to over, and three kids were in the middle of it.
What changed
His marriage recovered. He moved his family abroad for six months, then settled them in San Diego, and he now shows up as a steady presence for other men doing the same work.
Who runs this
Founder, facilitator and emcee. Sigma Chi, former national educator at Bulletproof, husband to Alexa, and permanent dog dad to a blue-nosed pit bull called Biggie James Smalls. He built The Mandate because most men’s work makes you choose between depth and enjoying yourself, and he thinks that choice is false.
