THE MONUMENTAL NETWORK
For Fathers In Their 40's & 50's Who Are In The Weeds Of Life
"A Remarkably Important Network"
– Sir Andrew Strauss
The Network
You’ve got the titles, the home, the children, the reputation.
From the outside, it looks like you’ve made it.
But inside?
You’re stretched thin.
Juggling everything.
Struggling quietly.
You’re not broken, you’re just in the middle of it.
The thick of fatherhood, leadership, responsibility....and the quiet ache for more.
You don’t need fixing.
You need a circle of men who get it.
Welcome to The Monumental Network.

Who Is The Network For
The Network is for fathers in their 40s and 50s who are:
- Successful on paper, but feeling isolated in reality.
- Balancing family, business, marriage, and losing themselves in the process.
- Wanting something deeper than dinner-party conversation or surface-level friendships.
- Ready to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, not just professionally.
- Craving structure, accountability, and authenticity from peers in their season.
This isn’t a network for dipping your toe in.
It’s not for 20-somethings.
It’s not for men just figuring life out.
It’s for those who’ve climbed one mountain, and are now asking what’s next?

"From the outside, I had it all - career success, a great family, financial stability. But inside, I felt isolated, knowing I was leaning too much on my wife and family which caused yet more friction in my life. Monumental gave me a space where I could finally be honest, be challenged, and be supported. It has changed my life, my relationships, and how I show up in the world"
– Charlie
Why Men Join The Network
- To feel genuinely supported by other high-performing men.
- To reconnect with who they are beneath the achievements.
- To be a better father, partner, and man, not just a better provider.
- To grow in ways they’ve long ignored: emotionally, spiritually, relationally.
- To finally be in a room where they don’t have to be “on”.
“I was literally called a "closed book" and my marriage was close to over. Being a part of The Network has been a huge part of turning that story around with significant consequences in my professional life too, in a very positive way.”
– Tom
Why It Matters
- Because success without support is a slow burn to emptiness.
- Because 86% of men have no real network, just roles to play.
- Because your family needs you present, not just productive.
- Because isolation is silent, and legacy is built through connection.
- Because there’s more in you. And you know it.

"A visionary space where I grow not just as a human but as a leader. I am turning up to work far more authentically and as such, have far more capacity"

“Genuinely life changing. Being able to openly discuss key matters in my personal and professional life in a confidential and non judgemental forum, is a wonderful release and the wisdom learnt from others is a game changer. Absolutely brilliant"

“Didn’t know I needed it, absolutely did not know I needed it, but I am smiling for it now and hugely grateful”

“I was all function and process and convenience. I was different from one group to another and I was acting, performing and lying. That all changed when I found Monumental to speak my truth and be comfortable sitting in it”
