Alex Hardy
A dedicated men’s work facilitator and coach blending real-world grit with authentic self-discovery.
A “recovering nice guy” who scaled Wall Street dealmaking and sold his tech startup for $38M, only to find himself seeking deeper meaning.
After nearly two months in silent retreats and extensive training in men’s work modalities, he now leads weekly men’s groups in Austin, supporting high-achievers in creating lives rooted in truth and purpose.
Max Efremov
Meet Max Efremov—a men’s coach working in containers of comprehensive transformation and integrated awakening.
Equally at home sharing ancient Buddhist techniques as he is doing handstands, he brings together the precision of Vajrayana practice, the depth of sacred intimacy work, and the real-world savvy of executive coaching for founders, billionaires, and ex-convicts.
When he’s not supporting leaders in finding their authentic voice, you’ll find him teaching meditation, studying with his teachers, or practicing jiu jitsu at Barton Springs.
Join Us
The modern world rarely creates space for men to truly connect—with themselves, with nature, and with other men on a similar journey.
“Connect and Conquer” isn’t just another weekend away; it’s a deliberate step toward reclaiming what matters most.
The question isn’t whether you can afford to take these two days for yourself.
The question is: can you afford not to?
This is your moment. Don’t let it pass.
