Men's Leadership Experience
A 3-Day Relationship-Focused Mastermind for High Performing Men
November 18-21, 2026
On your deathbed, the only thing that will matter is how you loved and the meaning you made out of your life. Your wife and kids won’t remember the money, your performance, or your golf game. They’ll remember who you were and how you showed up for them.
You’ve spent most of your adult life focusing on work and rarely questioned it. You’ve been taught that your value is in what you do, not who you are. You protect, provide, and spend your free time trying to do more or be better. You optimize your health, exercise like a beast, and track your steps or sleep. You’re willing to go to therapy and read books because you care about personal growth.
But if you’re honest, there is one area that eludes you, confuses you, frustrates you… and is very hard to even understand…
Intimate Relationships.
Look, I know you have good relationships. You’re a good friend and can network at business events with the best of them.
But at home, when no one is looking, you have WTF moments that perplex your male brain. Her emotions can feel like a moving target and you feel like you can never get it right. You shut down, you blame, and you get defensive. You sometimes avoid conflict and hate it when your relationship is off.
You thought being a good man who provides and protects would be enough. While this matters, you miss something she wants: your full presence, your real emotional range, and the depth of connection that makes her feel truly safe and drawn to you.
It’s also possible she is tired of doing the emotional and relational labor. She is looking for a co-leader of the relationship, a collaborative partner that offers something more meaningful than any of your “doing.”
It’s time to become a Relational Leader with her and make your marriage the engine that fuels everything.

In business, you delegate your weaknesses. In a marriage, you work on them.

Men's Leadership Experience
MLE is a 3-day, immersive adventure experience in Boulder, CO designed specifically for high-performing men who want to make their intimate relationship indestructible.
Whether your marriage is good and trying to be great, if the relationship is ‘fine but flat,’ or on the brink of divorce, this experience will completely change how you are at home. It doesn’t matter if you tend to be avoidant/logical or people-pleasing/anxious, you can show up differently at home and your family will notice.
“Jayson is a genius at walking the line between teaching and storytelling in a way that engages the heart and stretches the mind—a unique and powerful blend.“

The Requirements
This Relationship-Focused Event Is For You If:
- You’re a founder, entrepreneur, or high-performer who gets that being connected to your wife and kids is the engine that fuels everything
- You have a good marriage, but want to make it great
- You want intimacy, sex, trust, and presence back without sacrificing your edge
- You get that relationships are everything. That if you are “off” with her, the day is just plain harder.
- You can get stuck in defensiveness or trying to fix it and think “It’s never enough" or “I can never get it right for you” despite how much you try, push or provide
- She wants your presence, emotions, and heart, not the stressed, logical, fixer, success guy
- You want a guide who gets it. A married entrepreneurial father who has spent 20+ years leading men into the depths of relational mastery. You want a guide who understands the demands of homelife, business, and high-stakes pressure
- You are a warrior, not afraid of doing hard things
“Jayson Gaddis is my hero. He is my go-to resource for all things relationships, communications, and how I can show up better in my marriage. On top of that, he 100% walks the walk by cultivating an inspirational marriage and two exceptional children.“
Matt Hunter
Executive Coach | 2X Founder
Outcomes
What You’ll Walk Away With
- Precise relational protocols for staying present and regulated during conflict when emotions are heated without fixing, controlling, or running away

- A vetted brotherhood of other high performers who actually get the dual demands of empire-building and family leadership.

About Your Facilitator
Jayson Gaddis
Jayson Gaddis has spent more than three decades working with men, couples, and families. He has led groups for over 30 years and has trained with leading teachers such as David Deida, David Cates, and the Men’s Leadership Alliance. His background includes a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology, completing a three-year Gestalt training, and certification in the Demartini Method, giving him a uniquely integrated lens on human behavior, conflict, and transformation. He’s also led countless wilderness adventures across the globe.
Jayson is the founder of The Relationship School and creator of Present Centered Relationship Coaching. More than 100,000 people have been through his programs, and he has trained hundreds of relationship coaches worldwide. He is author of Getting to Zero, a Wall Street Journal bestseller and Amazon’s Best Leadership & Business Book of the Year. Since 2018, he has also run a 7-figure education company focused entirely on helping people improve their most important relationships.
Jayson specializes in helping entrepreneurial men lead at home with clarity and connection from within. He helps men get clear on their deeper path. These qualities help men transfer their business success to success at home. A guide who bridges the worlds of high-performance optimization and deep relational mastery.
Jayson lives in Boulder with his wife and two teenagers, who make sure he consistently practices what he teaches. He’s not running a marriage program from the outside. He’s living it from the inside.
How This Is Different From Other Masterminds
This isn’t another 1-hour relationship talk at a business mastermind. This is the ONLY mastermind that is relationship-focused for three days. This event treats your most important relationships as a domain to master. This is a concentrated training intensive with skills, live practice, feedback, and brotherhood, all designed specifically for men like you who have already done the podcasts, therapy, and biohacking stuff, but have never done a full immersion on relationships.
This isn’t therapy and it’s not woo-woo masculine/feminine polarity work. You’re here to increase your discomfort threshold in the face of conflict, specifically around your emotions and hers. This is the inner game of a high-performing leader who can handle the full range of what happens interpersonally as a boss, husband and dad.
This mastermind is facilitated by someone who’s spent 20 years going deep on understanding and developing his capacity in his own actual relationship dynamics, and then helping hundreds of clients, couples, and students do the same. In this experience, you’ll get the adventure and brotherhood, but you’ll also get the real relationship work that other events don’t know how to facilitate.
High-Level Brotherhood & Business ROI
While our focus is on how you show up relationally at home, this is a mastermind where you’ll be surrounded by other high-performing men who get the challenges of holding family and business. The side conversations are often where the real gold is:
- Strategic networking
- Business breakthroughs
- Partnership opportunities
- Scalable insights from guys who are doing real numbers
You’re dialing in the relationship house of your life — but the ripple effect is massive. Men leave with deeper connection at home and a sharper clarity in business. If you go all in, the ROI is exponential.
“Working with Jayson Gaddis has been the most impactful decision I’ve made for my relationships. Six months ago, my marriage was at a crossroads, despite all the personal development and growth work we’d done. Jayson’s insights and ability to challenge me helped me see my blind spots, reorganize my priorities, and reconnect deeply with my family. His authenticity, wisdom, and no-nonsense approach transformed my perspective. If you’re ready to put your relationship and family first, Jayson is the person to guide you there.”

The Cost of A Bad or “Just Ok” Marriage
Sometimes you wing it, thinking you got it when you don’t. You do this part of your life alone in your head, hire a mediocre therapist, and wait until you or your wife feels hurt, alone, and resentful. Or you limp along thinking your marriage is good, having no idea that it could be way deeper and way more fulfilling. If you are honest, you have no idea how to bridge the divide effectively and optimize for a badass relationship that lasts, no matter what you go through.
Your version of trying and not getting results can cost way more than money.
- The emotional strain and drain of this is probably the biggest thing that sucks the life out of you
- Lost intimacy drains your sleep, grows the shame, makes you irritable, and saps the energy you need to run your company into the complex future.
- High-net-worth divorces often exceed $100,000 in legal fees and asset division alone—not counting the emotional wreckage.
- Your kids sense it all. They’re learning what “relationship” looks like from you all day every day, for years.
Change this, and you’re in for a completely different life and future.

For Men Who Have A Good Marriage But Want A Great One
If your marriage is ok or good, but you know there’s another level to get to, it’s highly unlikely traditional therapy will get you there. You need guidance from someone who knows the relationship game inside and out.
Here’s what awaits you at another level:
- You and her are super connected most of the time as a team
- You both co-lead your life and collaborate on the biggest decisions and directions in your lives
- Your sexual connection deepens as she feels even safer with you
- The magic that happens when you choose to focus on this part of your life
Testimonials
What Men Are Saying
These men came in already successful, exhausted, and disconnected. Here’s what happened after they worked with me:
“When I came to Jayson’s event, I was in a really painful space. My marriage was challenged, my kids were young. I was in therapy, and therapy wasn’t working. Hearing Jayson’s voice and the way he talked about love just connected with me. I’m just getting chills realizing the journey I’ve made. I have enormous gratitude for what this has meant to me as a man, as a father, as a son, as a human being.”
Steve
Chicago
“I don’t know if I know how to do this. I think I’d like to learn how to do this well. The stuff Jayson teaches has clarified so much. This is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.”
Ian
“I joined for the partner relationship aspect and left as a better husband, a better friend.”
Will F.
Texas
“I wasn’t showing up in my partnership with my wife. I wasn’t showing up in my relationships at work. I was cold, calloused and closed off. This event was instrumental in getting us out of that head space, into our heart, starting to feel again.”
Dick
“It helps men drop the armor and the shields and the warrior selves and express what’s really going on inside in a supportive, caring, compassionate environment.”
John
Boston
“If you’re struggling in your life with relationships, sex, purpose, intimacy, this men’s experience is for you.”

Common Questions
“I’m busy AF—is this worth my time?"
This is forced time to prioritize yourself and your family by putting the oxygen mask on the only thing you can control–yourself. 3 days of protected time that pays massive dividends at home. You work for yourself right? You’re the boss of your time. Choose.
“What if I’m not great at opening up in groups?”
The expectation is real, honest truth—not “group therapy.” You move at your pace, but you’ll find we build deeper trust in Day 1 than most men find in a lifetime.
“How is this different from other masterminds?”
This is not “business advice with a side of marriage.” This is a dojo for relationships with business sprinkled in.
“How is this different from all the men's content out there?”
This is not masculine-feminine Burning Man-style polarity work that works when you’re single. This is facilitated by a married entrepreneur who gets family from the inside out. I’ve been working with couples and families for over 20 years. I live and breathe this in my own home. Ask my family.
“Do I have to be in good shape?”
No. But a base level of fitness will help because you will be pushed hard physically. If you have a heart condition or serious physical health problems, you may have to sit on the sidelines. Your call.
“What is the financial investment?”
On this page, you will see the lowest pricing at this time. VIP pricing is higher. Remember to consider the cost of how you’ve been doing it and the results you’re currently getting.
“What happens after I apply?”
After filling out the form, if it looks like a strong fit, I will personally email you and potentially get on a call with you if need be. If you are a fit, you’ll get a link to join; if not, you won’t hear from me.
