Mandate is a Brooklyn-based men's community, founded in 2015 by Peter Adam Simon, Rucker Wells, and Mikaal Bates.
“Men’s Work” is the intentional work a man undertakes to become better—personally, relationally, professionally, and spiritually—especially in the company of other men.
When men gather with intention inside a carefully constructed container built on trust, communication, confidentiality, and safety, something powerful happens. Men speak more honestly. They see themselves more clearly. They challenge and support one another. Connection deepens. Insight emerges. Healing becomes possible. The work, works.
The TECHNOLOGY OF TRIBE is baked into our bones. Regardless of where your ancestors came from, the color of your skin, your religion, ethnicity, culture, or sexual orientation, if you go back far enough in your lineage, you will find men gathering with other men to meet the challenges of their time—to share experience, speak truth about what matters, hold one another accountable, and become more capable men.
This is not a new idea. It is our ancient human inheritance as men. We have forgotten the importance of surrounding ourselves with good men.
Men’s Work is for men of every age, background, culture, creed, and level of experience. It doesn’t matter where you came from or who your father was. What matters is that you are striving toward something greater—for yourself, the people you love, your family, your community, and the world around you.
You need no previous experience. And no matter how experienced you become, there is always another layer to uncover.

A Message for MEN interested in :
As men, we once hunted the wilds together, providing and protecting for the good of the Tribe.
Today, many men feel lost in a world that no longer makes sense—pushing paper for someone else’s dream, shackled to bills and drama, unsure what it means to be a man in the modern world. The rules our fathers and grandfathers lived by have changed. Lone-wolf mentality and the cult of comparison have pitted men against one another, competing for scraps instead of joining together in service to a Greater Good.
There is a path forward. Rather than stepping aside beneath the weight of “toxic masculinity” and “patriarchy,” it is time for men to step forward—into empowerment, competence, and responsibility. It is time for men to become HEROES again, because there is no greater commodity in this world than a truly conscious man.
The “strong, silent type” is obsolete. So is the “good-vibes-only hippie.” A new man is being called forth: one who can hold seemingly opposite qualities at the same time—Strength & Sensitivity; Power & Presence; Humor & Depth; Kindness & Killer Instinct. A man who can hold space, hold his partner, hold his business, hold himself, and hold the world. A new man, for a new world. Just in time. I believe you are that man. And I will never stop believing.
Men everywhere are waking up to something both new and ancient: the possibility of living for something greater. They are seeking the tools and training they always knew they needed, but somehow never received as boys.
The INITIATION from boyhood to manhood is your BIRTHRIGHT—and it is a birthright most of us were denied. Fortunately, there is a TECHNOLOGY for making that transition, even as adult men. Better still, that technology already lives inside you. It is difficult to claim alone, because it was never meant to be. It is meant to be unfurled in the company of other men.
If you are reading this, you are in the right place. What we are here to get, and what we are here to give, serves more than ourselves. Join us.
