Do you ever find yourself asking
"Is this all there is?"

WORK, EAT, sleep, PAY BILLs, veg out, catch a buzz, get off, PAY more bills, try and make the family happy, wake up, do it all over again. are you just going through the motions?

Man Up is for men ready to take back their life power - now! Reclaim your mind from habituated conditioning, redefine success on your own terms instead of the ones you’ve adopted from culture and childhood programming. It’s playing your own game that YOU define, then playing it bigger because it actually means something to you. It’s finding alignment with your natural strengths and deeper desires that are still undiscovered, hidden, or buried under a lifetime of limiting stories, experiences, and beliefs. It’s putting in the work to unearth YOUR path of fulfillment beyond the unsatisfying treadmill of the achievement-indulgence loop. (Don’t get me wrong, I love the resources achievement provides, just with a deeper meaning to it which is even more motivating.)

Are you still striving for security and a golden wheelchair as your ultimate success?
A hospice nurse told me that her patients that waited too long to live fully were bitter;
they ran out of time and were physically incapable to act on their dreams,
or had no way to produce more resources to afford them.

I refuse to wait, How about you?

Meet Albert

I had it all - the house, the cars, the wife, the kids, my own business - I should have been gloriously happy, but I wasn’t. Life was a chore. I felt stuck with mortgages, school tuition, and paying for the lifestyle my family had grown accustomed to. I saw no way out, and I certainly didn’t want to blow up what I’d already built (which many men do). But I knew life should be more enjoyable than this. That there had to be a better way and I was determined to find it. 

My problem in a nutshell: for 20 years I’d slowly traded away my potential for security and comfort. I appeared successful, but didn’t feel successful. My work wasn’t meaningful or fulfilling, I just did it for the money and finally had to admit that doubling up on a failed strategy wasn’t going to bring different results. I couldn’t fool myself any longer.

That’s when I made the commitment to man up, reclaim my mind and reclaim my life from politics, TV, internet news, self-medicating, the opinions of others, and definitions of "success" adopted from others over a lifetime that were no longer serving me. It was time to quit trying to skip ahead to the imagined good part when all of my problems would finally be gone. I had to start working full-heartedly from where I stood, filling my present place, pouring myself into the life that was right there in front of me that was suffering from the neglect of a passive, half-assed approach of wishing to “having it made” already while I actually performing with mediocrity.

Within weeks of accepting full responsibility, being open to new tactics, and committing to finally doing something different about it, life started to become clearer and happier - 1000x happier than before (compared to a baseline of misery, it didn’t take much.). My grouchiness disappeared and my enjoyment of life increased. My mood improved which made it easier to be a better husband, father, friend, and boss. My wife noticed first and appreciated it and told me “whatever you’re doing, keep doing it!” Time with my kids became richer and more fun. My capacity to deal with the daily barrage of work issues rose exponentially, instantly increasing my productivity, creativity, and ability. I felt like Neo in The Matrix - resilient and effortlessly dodging the bullets that life threw at me.

All that
and only
one thing
needed to change...

Are you ready to Man Up? Reclaim your Mind, Your Life?

Are You Ready to Own It? 

If the time is right, book a simple, straight-forward 25 minute chat and let’s share our stories with each other.

 

Am I Doing What I’m Supposed
To Be Doing With My Life?

This nagging question haunted me for decades (in spite of any success or achievements). I didn’t hear it clearly (minds are noisy) and I certainly didn’t realize the toll it was taking on me. It showed up as permanent dissatisfaction with any and all efforts never being enough. 

Frustrated, grouchy, and always on edge, I’d snap at my wife and kids for the least little things that had nothing to do with them. My mind constantly contorting itself, trying to figure out “how to get there.” 

When will I be rich enough? 

When will all of my problems go away? 

Will I ever be out of debt?

When will I feel satisfied? 

Is joy even a possibility for me? 

And then there was a moment at my first retreat, ManCamp 1, when the question that had always been there lurking in the shadows, “Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing?” evaporated. For the first time in my life I finally had the thought, “THIS is what I should be doing.” A huge subconscious weight lifted from me in that moment. A sense of relief and clarity swept over me like never before. I also instantly knew that this burden could be lifted for every other man at the retreat, and likely in the whole world. 

My work was cutout for me. 

A task I could never complete. 

But strangely it came with a liberating sense of satisfaction. 

A peace and calm came with it. 

I didn’t feel like I had to be in a hurry to get there or accomplish it (that was new!) 

I realized that in the past, no matter what I ever did or how well I did it, there was a deeper part of me that must have known I wasn’t on the right track. You could see it as torture or as a gift that relentlessly dogged me from the inside so I’d keep searching for something different.

I’m not suggesting that you can’t figure this out on your own. A man lives his life in stages and this is just a symptom of being between two major stages. It can be a dark time. I’ve seen it referred to as a “tunnel.” Maybe you’ve been through one before, or knee-deep in one now.

Men like to figure things out for themselves, but it may take a while, possibly much longer than you want to wait and take more of a toll on your life experience than you want to endure.

Here’s some truth, if it’s tolerable it’ll likely last much longer until you find it unbearable, motivating you to take action. We don’t like change. We resist it. If left to our own natural bias, most men will choose to do nothing and accept the consequences, calling it fate. Oddly you should consider it a blessing if you’re already unwilling to tolerate it any longer because pain is always the fuel to change. Can you look back on anything good in life and dispute it was the result of you taking some sort of action step?

From the moment I decided I was going to figure it out for myself, it took 6 years on a very meandering path of nearly full-time exploration, experiences, experiments, processes, courses, reading, meditation, healers, coaches, and retreats etc. I’m reluctant to tell you how much money I spent in the search. 

If you want to cut that time down for yourself, I can help. I’ve lived it and I’m extremely skilled at quickly helping others make the necessary tweaks that have the biggest and fastest impact. If you have a gut-sense this is something you should explore, then take action in the moment before it passes, which inevitably leads you forward on the right path. Have you let other opportunities slip through your fingers in the past by waiting just a minute too long and dishonor your intuition and let your courage fade? I know it’s scary, it has to be or probably wouldn’t be worth doing.

Click the button and schedule a discovery call with me. I’ll ask some great questions to assess where you are, your current challenges, and where you’d like to go from here. I’ll reflect back my insights, give you some free coaching, and if I think I can offer you more support I’ll share that too. At the end of our 45 minute call we can make an empowered decision if it makes sense to work together or not work together and I’m OK either way.

 

ManCamp


4-day immersion retreatS

After hosting 17 ManCamps over the last five years, I asked the guys what they got from it and what did we do that made it happen? Here is their collective answer:

“I received a real clarity about my passions and purpose, felt reenergized to go back out into the world and get started again, and felt encouraged and supported by a community of like-minded men that I’d never met before and the relief of knowing it wasn’t just me going through this.

I received this by sharing my personal story and listening to the stories of the other guys. I felt like I was being “seen,” acknowledged, and accepted by them for the real me, without having to pose, be fake, or pretend to be something that I’m not, while also seeing them for who they are.”

WHAT the retreat is NOT

It’s not religious, or a hug and cry fest. It’s not a status competition or an ego-centric pissing contest. It’s not a physical endurance challenge, or a manliness competition.

What it is…

A gathering of diverse men in age, careers, and backgrounds in the spirit of non-judgmental, open-minded, intellectually-curious exploration of the current state of our lives, where we learn and share profoundly powerful and helpful tools, processes, and strategies to go forth and live more intentionally and fully motivated by a renewed sense of clarity, direction, passion, and purpose. It’s an accelerated course in self-mastery.

What People Are Saying

"Albert Pellissier changed my life. Before working with Albert, I was achieving unrivaled success in my professional life, but it all felt void of meaning. It turns out I was neglecting every part of me outside of my professional persona. It was unsustainable, and I was on the verge of burning out.

Albert helped me realize all of the wonderful, fulfilling aspects of life that I was missing out on and held me accountable to living as my authentic, ideal self. As a result, I am now thriving both personally and professionally. I cannot thank Albert enough. I feel like the wisdom and perspective that I gained from working with him has saved me years of 'learning the hard way' and regret.

My only wish is that I would have reached out to him sooner.

"Prior to meeting with you I was very stressed out with work and my relationship with my wife. I felt as though I was just existing going through my daily routine in a programmed, repetitive state. I was trying to change things but I wasn't exactly certain how to.

I was missing life. It was passing me by.

But that's changed. I have become happy and thankful for my life. My wife. My son. My family. My work. My friends.

I will continue to be thankful for the direction life takes me and accept the uncertainty of the outcome. I believe timing is everything, and my time to change had come!
