The Good Men Project is re-inventing media. When we launched The Good Men Project, it goal was to “spark an international conversation about the changing roles of men in the 21st century.” Since then, over 350 million pageviews to our website, to hear stories about men, and fathers, and sports and politics, and economics and ethics and much more.
But the key for us has always been the word “conversation”. Sure, we could have comments sections like other media companies. (Although sadly, many sites are getting rid of those because the conversations are too difficult). And yes, like many media companies we have dialogue across many media platforms—forums on Facebook, Twitter chats, video commenting, email dialogues.
But…phone calls?
We believe the idea is breathtakingly new and different, and a way to look at media that is completely new form of media.
- The phone calls give you the same emotional resonance as a great movie or TV show.
- You are one of the stars of the show.
- The conversations are about some of the most interesting, provocative and important topics in today’s world.
- It’s how BFF’s are born.
- Look at how people who consume other media do so. Staring off into space. Not actively engaged, connected to others, passionate and articulate.
- You can multitask while participating. People on the calls sometimes attend while going on walks, at the gym, doing dishes, while their kids are doing homework. Just make sure you know where the mute button is.
- Sign up at the Platinum level— you can try one, try them all, come and go as you please. Don’t like the direction a particular call is taking? Have to leave early to pick up the kids? We’ve got your back! You can pick up the conversation either in the FB group or the following week. The calls are there when YOU need them most.
- The calls are both episodic and serialized. Each one has its own unique topic. But when you come to them all—-you start to see patterns, have other “characters” on the calls that you can’t wait to talk so you can hear their insights. And…oh…you become one of those characters that people really want to hear.
- The group leaders are passionate, intelligent, articulate. They have been through training and know how to make the discussions interesting for all comers.
- This is the future of media.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
