The father of that baby abandoned the family soon after, leaving Eber to be raised by his widower grandmother, as his mother worked to make ends meet and support the family. Following a life filled with adventure, entrepreneurship, hardships and hope, Eber found himself joining the New Warrior Training Adventure in March of 2019. It’s a story I barely got to scratch the surface of, but one absolutely worth telling, and one I can’t wait to share.

Stop crying before I give you something to cry about. These are just a few of the phrases that contribute to a disease in our society, and more specifically, in our men. It's a disease that has come to be known as "toxic masculinity." It's one I suffered a chronic case of, so much so that I spent 24 years of a life sentence in prison for kidnapping, robbery, and attempted murder Read More → The Work , Vegas MKP In the News, New York Times Sunday 8th Dec 2018 For many years, MKP was cautious about what we shared.

This kind of leadership means stepping into the kind of life that I have envisioned for myself – one of compassion, meeting the neighbours, connection as well as stepping up to the plate around leadership in terms of standing up for what I believe in. Read More → Look Deeper, Jon Kinsella My father gave me less than nothing as a role model, and now manhood makes sense to me in my body. I had ‘abuser beliefs’ because that’s what I’d taken in during my childhood. It was in my core. MKP was able to change that.
