One of the traps of being a man is the false idea of having to do it alone – the conviction that what you do is only worth something, that you are only worth something if it’s solely your own accomplishment. And while it sure can feel good to accomplish something, bigger changes can only happen in cooperation. The real power to change the world lies in the collective. First and foremost that is why we have chosen to start this foundation. To grow in connection, in cooperation, in brotherhood.

 

That still is not enough to fulfill the vision that we hold dear to our hearts. And so we team up with partners – people and organizations – who share and complement our mission and vision. So that we can work together, learn from each other’s strengths and talents, keep each other sharp and support each other. We strongly believe this is the way to do it. Exploring new seas together, instead of all individuals fishing in the same pond.

 

Of course we do not choose our partners lightly. So to make sure that the people we connect with are not only our brothers, but also contribute to the goals we have set for ourselves. Cooperation that is sustainable, with the possibility for growth. So that we can not only say that we work with them, but also from the bottom of our heart can recommend them and the things they do to anyone.
