THE MONUMENTAL LEGACY
The ultimate in elite connection and expedition
“The Monumental Legacy is unlike anything else out there for men in leadership, there’s no other space that combines this level of depth, connection, and challenge."
– Kenton Cool, 18x Everest Summits & Legacy Facilitator
The Monumental Legacy
The Legacy is a powerful, intimate container for men who are no longer chasing, but are now choosing.
Choosing impact.
Choosing connection.
Choosing the story they’ll leave behind.
You’ve created success, provided for others, and done what was expected.
But now, something deeper is stirring.
It’s no longer about accumulation, it’s about impact.
It’s not about staying busy, it’s about becoming whole.
It’s not about more noise, it’s about what lasts.

Who The Legacy Is For
The Legacy is for fathers, founders, leaders, and men in their 50s and 60s who are:
- Asking “Was that it?” after decades of dedicated working.
- Wanting to contribute beyond wealth, to family, community, and the world.
- Craving depth and connection with peers, not platitudes or posturing.
- Feeling called to live intentionally, not just wind down passively.
- Ready to create something that will outlive them.
It’s not about more noise, it’s about what lasts.
"The greatest journeys aren’t across continents, they’re within. The Legacy is about stepping off the map of expectation and into a life of real meaning, connection, and courage. It’s an expedition every man deserves to take."
