Happy Fathers Day: My Personal Message To Fathers

1. A Personal Message to Fathers

This Father’s Day, I want to speak directly to the kind of man who wants to be a Professional Father, someone who takes his role as a father seriously and views the raising of the next generation as a profession. You are looking for a way to make the time you have with your son count. To do something that matters.

I am recreating something that has been largely missing from our society for hundreds of years. Something that only a few fathers will have the opportunity to experience with me. It is a 9-month journey, online and in-person, that culminates in hiking the 170km Tour du Mont Blanc with your son and a group of other fathers and sons, including my own. But it is not just about the hike. The hike is the rite of passage, an intentional trial by nature and effort, that marks your son’s ascent into the next stage of manhood, forged alongside you.

I am inviting you to join me in reclaiming something that has been lost, fatherhood in its fullest form. Not just spectating at weekend sports or spending time on video games. Not just coaching a team or paying the bills. I am talking about what I call the Professional Father, the man who sees fatherhood as his most sacred office. His role as patriarch, protector, provider, and prophet for the next generation.

2. The Crisis of Modern Fatherhood

We live in a time when the role of the father has been eroded. The industrial world pulled men out of their homes. The school system put their children into the hands of strangers. The media mocked the masculine and glorified the weak. Now, instead of turning to their fathers, boys are looking to online influencers and cultural trends for guidance on what it means to be a man, and much of what they find is either performative, misleading, or harmful.

Why? Because we have lost the essential connection that once gave the father his authority: time together. Shared experience. Shared struggle. Demonstrated competence by the father. A father’s authority does not come from his title; it comes from his presence, his wisdom, his proven ability to guide his son through the very challenges he will one day face. When that authority is absent, boys search elsewhere. And they are rarely given better that Dad.

This crooked path is not sustainable. And it is not acceptable.

3. The Rite of Passage: A Father’s Return

I am blazing a trail back for fathers. I am walking it myself with my sons, leading the way through a process most have forgotten. And I am inviting a handful of serious men to walk it with me, not to invent it, but to inherit and embody it.

This is not for everyone. Most men will not do it, not because they do not care, but because the enormity of the task feels overwhelming. Because reclaiming the full weight of fatherhood feels too big, too distant, too much. But a few will. Because a few still believe that the family is the foundation of civilization. That fathers are the lawgivers of their household. Boys become men only through the deep intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connection they build with their fathers, and, at times, with other older male relatives. Only this kind of connection can prepare a boy to cross into manhood with strength, courage, mastery and honor.

If you are that kind of man, keep reading. Because I have built this for you and your sons.

4. What This Program Delivers

This is not another educational course or summer camp. This is a comprehensive transformation, what I call a conversion, of both father and son into their next stage of development.

Fathers will go from feeling disconnected and uncertain to becoming Professional Fathers: confident, competent, and fully engaged. They will rediscover their central role as patriarchs, not just providers. They will gain tools, language, and rituals to build a sovereign family culture. They will go from reacting to their child’s needs to proactively shaping their son’s future.

Sons will go from vague boyhood to clear, emerging manhood. From confusion about their place in the world to clarity and strength. From being passively raised to actively participating in their own coming-of-age. From drifting under the influence of media and school to grounding their identity in family and father.

Together, you will forge a new bond, something deeper than what is possible through casual time together. It will be built through shared intellectual growth, emotional development, physical training, and spiritual preparation. It culminates in the Tour du Mont Blanc: a physically demanding, awe-inspiring pilgrimage that seals the transformation with struggle, beauty, and brotherhood.

This is how you raise not just a son, but the father of your grandchildren.

And this is how you become a Meta-Father: not just a man who fathers children, but a man who re-establishes the father as the central force in family legacy and civilization.

If you want more than memories, if you want meaning, this is for you.

5. The Crisis of Masculinity and Maturity

We are living in a generation where boys are not becoming men. They are stalling, emotionally, socially, and morally, in extended adolescence. Without the structure of masculine expectation, clear transitions, or an acknowledged rite of passage, they linger in boyhood long after their bodies have matured.

Our culture offers them no roadmap. They are surrounded by mixed signals, infantilizing environments, and easy dopamine. What is missing is the challenge, the clarity, and the confrontation with reality that produces maturity. Boys need more than role models, they need mentors, trials, and the ceremonial crossing into responsibility.

This program provides that. It integrates emotional regulation, the pursuit of competence, and the internalization of sovereignty. It teaches boys not just how to act like men, but how to think, speak, and carry themselves with the dignity of masculine agency.

And it does this with their fathers at their side, not just as companions, but as guides who have reclaimed their own authority and are ready to lead the way.

6. What Boys Need, and What Fathers Can Provide

Boys today are not just lacking direction, they are starved for it. They need clarity, structure, love, and challenge. They need to know where the lines are and who they can count on to hold them. And more than anything, they need to know that their father sees them, knows their heart, and is willing to lead them.

A boy becomes a man in the presence of a stronger and more mature man, one who models agency, discipline, and calm strength. If the father is absent, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, another male influence will take that role, and it may not be one the family would choose. The son does not choose whether to model after someone; he only chooses from who is available.

That is why the father’s role is not optional. He is the anchor of identity, the compass of moral and practical direction, and the living law of the household. His presence shapes the boy’s sense of reality. His strength determines how secure the boy feels in exploring the world. His love gives the boy the confidence to grow without fear.

This program helps fathers return to that role, not as tyrants, but as rightful leaders. Not as distant providers, but as fully engaged patriarchs whose words carry the weight of earned wisdom and demonstrated love.

Together, father and son will build a shared framework of communication, challenge, and clarity. This is what boys need. And this is what fathers can provide.

7. What Fathers Have Lost

You cannot lead a child where you have not gone.

Most fathers have been abandoned by culture, misled by education, and weakened by guilt. They were not taught how to be men, only how to please others (mostly women), suppress their instincts, and doubt their judgment. They entered fatherhood with no map, no compass, and no tribe. They try to lead without having first been led.

This is not your fault. But it is your responsibility to address it.

The journey of fatherhood begins with reclaiming what was lost, and becoming the kind of man your son can follow. That means reconnecting with your masculine virtues, your sovereign will, and your capacity to provide not just materially, but morally and spiritually.

This program does not just train your son. It restores you to your rightful place as the Professional Father, the one who leads the household not through dominance, but through earned reverence and trust.

It gives you the tools to reforge your own agency, rebuild your confidence, and return to your family with the strength and moral clarity they need from you.

8. The Rite of Passage Program: Structure and Purpose

The Father-Son Rite of Passage Program is a 9-month immersive journey designed for fathers who are ready to reclaim their role and initiate their sons into responsible, sovereign manhood. This is not theory. This is structured transformation, deliberate, demanding, and deeply rewarding.

Fathers will engage in regular one-on-one coaching, participate in biweekly group meetings with other men on the same path, and complete personal assignments tailored to their individual growth and family context. This ensures they not only gain insight but also act on it, building the habits, relationships, and clarity their sons need.

The program culminates in a 10–14 day pilgrimage: the Tour du Mont Blanc. This is not a vacation. It is a rite of passage in the truest sense, an ancient-style crucible through nature’s beauty and hardship. Alongside their sons and other fathers, participants will face real challenge, real danger, and real discovery.

This is where theory meets practice. Where inner work meets outer trial. Where the abstract idea of manhood becomes something a boy can feel in his bones. And where fathers, too, are reborn, not just as providers or protectors, but as full participants in the sacred calling of fatherhood.

This is how legacies are started.

9. Why This Program Is Different

This is not a retreat, and it is not a weekend camp. This is a commitment, a serious, structured, and sacred passage into the next phase of your family’s legacy.

I am walking this path with you. My son will be there. We are not outsourcing masculinity to strangers. We are reclaiming it, shoulder to shoulder.

This is not about leisure tourism or temporary inspiration. It is about legacy building. It is for fathers who see themselves not just as parents, but as Professional Fathers, men who understand that raising the next generation is not a hobby, but a high discipline. A sacred responsibility. A generational duty.

You will be challenged. You will be changed. And you will come away with something no book, seminar, or online course can offer: real, embodied transformation with your son by your side.

10. What Fathers Will Gain

The authority and clarity you always knew you should have, but perhaps never had passed on to you. Most men were never given the torch of fatherhood by their own fathers. They were shown fragments, but not taught the full art. Without a model to inherit or a process to follow, confidence was elusive, and competence hard-won.

This program gives you both. You will gain confidence that commands respect, sovereignty over your household and your self, and the grounded presence that only mature masculinity provides. You will learn concrete tools and activities to build emotional connection with your son, not just through words, but through shared challenges, earned respect, and meaningful rituals. You will embody the Meta-Father: the living ideal your son will grow toward. And you will plant in him the seeds of that same Meta-Fatherhood, preparing him to one day lead your grandchildren with wisdom and strength.

11. What Sons Will Gain

Your son will emerge from this program with something priceless: direction, discipline, and purpose. He will begin to form a solid foundation of masculine identity, not as an act or an imitation, but as something rooted in his life experience.

He will experience challenge, beauty, and struggle beside you. This is how a boy becomes a man,by connecting to his father in mind, heart, and body. That connection forges a sense of belonging, purpose, and confidence that no screen, school, or self-help book can provide.

Your son will come away with a lasting bond to you, to his family, and to something greater than himself. He will learn to value sovereignty, agency, and responsibility not because they are preached, but because he will have lived them.

And most importantly, he will begin his journey to manhood with his father as his guide.

12. The Tour du Mont Blanc Experience

The majesty of Mont Blanc awaits you, an awe-inspiring realm of towering snow-capped peaks, wild alpine meadows, glacial rivers, and ancient footpaths carved into the heart of Europe. It is one of the most beautiful and storied landscapes on Earth. To walk through it is to walk through a living cathedral of stone, sky, and silence. This beauty is not a luxury; it is nourishment for the soul. It elevates us. It draws out our highest thoughts. It reminds us of the greatness that lies dormant within, and calls it forth.

Then, the challenge begins: 170km of mountainous terrain. 10,000m of elevation. Real physical exertion. Shared suffering and earned triumph.

This is not just a hike, it is a crucible. Every step across those alpine passes demands strength, endurance, and commitment. Every night spent together on the trail deepens the bond between father and son. Every vista inspires reflection. Every ache becomes part of the shared memory.

It is on this path that the teachings of the previous months come alive. Lessons turn into actions. Ideas become embodied truths.

There will be songs, yes, we will sing together. There will be rituals, markers of transition, oaths of honor, and gifts exchanged to seal the moment. There will be silence, too, sacred stillness in which the weight of this journey settles into the soul.

You and your son will not return the same. You will return closer. Clearer. Changed.

Not just with new memories, but with a new legacy.

13. Program Format and Curriculum

From October 2025 to June 2026, fathers and sons will embark on a progressive, integrated curriculum that deepens month by month.

Each month introduces a core theme, virtue, responsibility, communication, emotional regulation, sovereignty, and more. These themes shape the weekly assignments and personal exercises that keep growth consistent and measurable.

Every two weeks, fathers join live group calls for teaching, discussion, and accountability. These biweekly sessions offer a blend of structured learning, peer support, and personal coaching, ensuring that no man walks alone, and no challenge goes unanswered.

Rituals mark each stage: small family-based ceremonies, shared father-son activities, and group rites performed in solidarity with other families. Through these, responsibility is internalized, bonds are forged, and the father’s role is reestablished as central and sacred.

This is not passive learning. This is an active initiation into Professional Fatherhood, where theory is tested, practice is embodied, and transformation becomes visible.

14. Who This Program Is For, and Who It Is Not

This program is for fathers who are ready to lead, men who are committed to becoming the Professional Father their sons need. If you believe your role as a father is more than just showing up, if you see it as a sacred duty to guide, shape, and initiate your son into manhood, then this is for you.

It is not for the passive. Not for the indecisive. Not for men who want to outsource this task to schools, media, or fleeting moments. It is not for those who want a quick fix, a weekend workshop, or a feel-good event.

Only 10 father-son pairs will be accepted. This is an intimate, focused, and high-commitment program. Each man must be willing to walk the path fully, to be both student and teacher, both initiator and initiate.

This program is for those who can invest, not only in time and energy, but financially as well. If you are concerned primarily with the cost, this may not be the right time for you. But if you are ready to prioritize the future of your family, this will be the most valuable investment you make.

Some fathers may not be ready yet, and that is okay. For those men, I offer an alternative: my Agency Building Program. It is designed to help men reclaim sovereignty over their lives, develop discipline, and gain the clarity and competence needed to lead. Graduates of that program are often well-prepared to join future cohorts of this rite of passage.

And because my own sons, starting with the eldest this year, will be involved in the program alongside me, I must speak personally with each father before approving participation. This is not only to ensure alignment with the mission, but to protect the integrity of the group and the influence it will have on my children. This is a high-trust endeavor. I must know that the men who join us are ready in heart, mind, and deed.

If you believe that may be you, then I invite you to book a short call with me so we can explore it together:

If you are ready, then I welcome you. If not, then honor that, but know this: your son’s future will reflect your choice.

15. Addressing Common Objections

“I’m too busy.” → No man is too busy to raise a man. This program is structured to integrate into your life, not take it over. The time invested here pays dividends in every area of your family’s future.

“It’s expensive.” → Nothing is more costly than failing your legacy. This is an investment in your son, your family, and your lineage. What could be more valuable than securing the man your boy becomes?

“What if I’m not ready?” → You become ready by stepping in. Most fathers were not taught how to lead. This program is how you learn, by doing, by walking the path with your son, and by reclaiming your own authority.

“What if my son is not interested or thinks it’s embarrassing?” → Boys often resist what they need most. This is why your leadership matters. When a father leads with conviction, clarity, and love, most sons rise to meet the moment. The shared challenge and beauty of this experience overcome hesitation, and by the end, he will not want it to stop following you.

“What if we are not close enough right now?” → That is exactly what this program is designed to change. Many fathers feel a painful distance from their sons. This journey closes that gap through structured time, real conversations, and shared trial. It is not about where you are now, it is about where you

“What if my wife does not agree?” → This is a father’s decision. While it is wise to seek harmony in the household, it is not your wife’s job to turn your son into a man, you were made for that. This program does not replace your role with hers. It restores yours. Leadership in the home, especially over the development of your son into a man, is a mantle only you can bear.

16. Meet Your Guide: Who I Am and Why I Lead

I am not a guru. I am a father, a Professional Father, who lives what he teaches. I have been married for nearly 24 years and have three sons who, by the time we hike Mont Blanc, will be 12, 6, and 6 years old. My background is in sovereignty, psychology, history, and legacy. I have spent over a decade helping men and women develop stronger relationships with themselves and others, and before that, I served as a minister doing similar work. For most of my adult life, I have studied and applied the principles that build strong families, enduring legacies, and cooperative civilizations.

I bring a unique perspective: my family has recorded its relationship practices for over 450 years, practical, time-tested tools for marriage, parenting, and legacy building. I am also a senior fellow at the Natural Law Institute, a think tank dedicated to understanding the laws of nature and reality that govern human cooperation, from the household to civilization.

I am doing this not because I have mastered fatherhood, but because I am mastering it. My oldest son will walk this path with me this year, and my younger sons will follow in future years. I am building this alongside you. I am walking it with you. I am opening the way, not from ahead or above, but from beside you.

This is deeply personal. I know what is at stake. I know what it is like to want more for your son and to feel like no one ever showed you how. That is why I created this. Because if we do not do it, no one else will. And because there is no more sacred role than to lead your son into manhood by becoming the man you were meant to be.

Join me.

We do not have time to waste, and neither do our sons.

18. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does it cost? Because each father-son pair is unique and I need to understand your situation and goals, we do not discuss price until we have had a short call. You will, however, be responsible for your own flights to and from Europe. Everything else, from lodging and trail logistics to food and materials, is included in the program fee.

Is this climbing Mont Blanc? No, this is not a mountain climbing expedition. We will hike the Tour du Mont Blanc, a well-established, multi-day trekking circuit around the Mont Blanc massif. It is challenging, beautiful, and safe for determined beginners with reasonable fitness. No technical climbing is involved.

What if I am not in good shape? The hiking portion is demanding, but not extreme. You will have several months to prepare, and the program includes structured guidance on developing the physical readiness needed for success. Our aim is to help both you and your son build the stamina, strength, and resilience required, not just to complete the route, but to grow from it. Many ordinary men and boys complete this trail each year. You will not be alone. We will prepare together, step by step, so that by the time we set foot on the trail, you are ready in body as well as in spirit.

Is there spiritual or religious content? The program is deeply meaningful and touches on spiritual development, but it is not religious. It is compatible with a variety of beliefs and focuses on universal principles of virtue, sovereignty, and legacy. As part of the identity-building process, fathers will be encouraged to define what spirituality means within their family and to guide their sons in understanding and embodying that spiritual vision. This process honors your role as the spiritual head of your family and leaves room for diversity in expression, rooted in the shared pursuit of meaning and legacy.

What if my schedule is unpredictable? We designed the program to fit within a professional father’s life. Weekly tasks are manageable, and calls are recorded. You will have flexibility, and accountability.

What age should my son be? The ideal age range is 11–14. Old enough to rise to the challenge. Young enough to still be impressionable. If your son is slightly outside this range, we can discuss suitability during your call.

What if I have multiple sons? If you have more than one son within this age range, you are welcome to bring them all. The program is designed to accommodate multiple sons, allowing each of them to experience this rite of passage alongside their father and one another. Each will go through the full process as an individual participant, while also benefiting from the presence and camaraderie of their siblings. This creates an even deeper family legacy and strengthens bonds between brothers as well as between father and sons.
