#1: JACK RECOMMENDS
The start of something
Thank you for being the first men to join the JACK community.
There’s something in the water when it comes to men; the way we are perceived, the way we perceive ourselves and how we’re defined.
A wave of change is coming.
Men are looking for something. We’re not served well. All of our needs are not being met. Whether it’s how out of touch most stag do’s are, or how we need a new place to hang out now we drink less alcohol. There are many conversations to be had.
JACK wants us to have them.
We need to go deeper. Our feelings are complex and dynamic, yet we’re depicted as cavemen that simply desire meat and beer.
I want JACK to begin by satisfying our need for good quality content about men and our lives. Let’s sift through the crap on social media about how not to die and intros to p*rn by Only Fans models. There’s more to us than that.
Every Wednesday I’ll share 3 - 5 links that JACK recommends.
I’ll also share with you longer stories from experts in our community. These will be opinion pieces on meatier topics that impact us all.
JACK RECOMMENDS ⬇️
📚🎧 No More Mr Nice Guy. Don’t let the title put you off, this book is a lot better than how cheesy it sounds. If you struggle with conflict and aren’t always truly honest with people about what you want, this is for you. (HARD RECOMMEND)
🎬 A Man Called Otto. Proper tearjerker about an older man Otto (Tom Hanks) who lives on his own and is suicidal. Powerful. Will make you think of older men you know. (HARD RECOMMEND)
📝 Unspoken grief of childless men. 25% of men over 40 are childless and it’s hard to talk about if you’re a man that wants kids.
📝 Repressed men lead to suppressed growth opportunities. Men are less understood and that’s a big opportunity for brands.
