Redefining the Alpha: Live & Unfiltered
Three live panel conversations that will change how men think, lead, and live.
Redefining the Alpha: Live & Unfiltered
A safe space for honest conversations men were never taught how to have.
The word alpha puts some people off
and that’s understandable.
When we say Redefining the Alpha, we are not talking about ego, dominance, or being the loudest person in the room.
We are talking about:
- Responsibility over pride.
- Self-awareness over avoidance and surpression.
- Emotional control over emotional avoidance.
- Leadership that starts with yourself.
This event actively challenges the outdated version of masculinity that tells men to stay silent, carry everything, and deal with it alone.
If the word alpha makes you think this is about posturing or performance
it isn’t.
It’s about becoming a more grounded, capable, and honest man.
What This Night Is About
- Leadership under pressure
- Identity in modern society
- Mental resilience & emotional control
- What elite performers don’t talk about publicly
- Letting the weight off — instead of carrying it alone
You will hear from men who are often seen as “having it all together” — athletes, coaches, psychologists and leaders — openly discuss the reality behind the image.
Who This Is For
This event is for:
- Men carrying pressure quietly
- Founders, leaders, professionals & athletes
- Men who feel disconnected, burnt out or unsure of direction
- Anyone who wants clarity without hype
Most men attend alone.
They leave connected.
