27 Testimonials From Men Who Enrolled in Unshakable Man Cohorts

One of the most challenging aspects of this type of work is the commitment a man must make in order to receive the benefits. This work is the most powerful work a man can invest in because it is done in a physical relationship with other men.

TLDR: In place of a personal referral from a friend… These testimonials are from real men who are sharing how these experiences helped them… they are here to help you make the commitment to enroll in a cohort.

Millions of men are literally drifting through their life unaware of how big of an effect a men’s group experience can have on their life and relationships.

This means there is always a moment when a man must make a choice to commit to a group and give it a try. This moment is like stepping off a ledge.

One of the best ways to muster up the courage to step off the ledge is to talk with other men who have experienced what you are stepping into. When you can’t talk with a man 1/1 you have a testimonial.

Please review these testimonials with that ledge in mind. Realize you are stepping into a special container with a group of other men who are committing to show up too. It is very likely if you feel fear – that fear is what you need to step into. This is a very special opportunity in your life and this experience has the ability to really shift how you see yourself, your relationships, your life, and the world.

All of these men have been through an Unshakable Man Cohort Experience. They chose to take their time and energy to pass on how it was meaningful and helpful for them. But please… do not take my word for it. Watch and/or read these testimonials.

Here’s the written text in case you have a hard time accessing the images.

“TUM, Chris Wilson, Julio Iniguez, and many other wonderfully gifted and beautiful men have been responsible for keeping me afloat over the course of the last year. I have often found myself flailing to grab the air around me and they have provided the insight to breathe deeply in order to realize that I am not alone, and that oftentimes, I don’t have to flail wildly, and that I am supported and seen and heard and appreciated.”

Ceasar F. Barajas – TUM Cohort Graduate

Chris Wilson is a master at creating space for men to be TRULY honest with themselves. He is able to work with a wide range of emotions from fear and anxiety to anger and despair. Chris is not deterred by big emotions but rather bends toward them to help the you experience them deeply. Chris was my coach through some very difficult times in my life and held space for me to wail and mourn the losses. He NEVER shied away from me and always made me feel heard and seen. I cannot recommend Chris & The Unshakable Man Community enough. they will change your life.

Steve Diselhorst – TUM Cohort Graduate

Chris, thank you for inviting me to experience this exceptional opportunity. I will forever be in your service for meeting my soul where it was and witnessing its pain and yearning for guidance and relief. You have been my shepherd in this time of my spiritual rebirth and my words alone could never express my gratitude for you. Joining The Unshakeable Man community was a life-changing experience. As a 48-year-old Afro-Latino, same-gender-loving, married man who has struggled to understand who he was as a man entering this latter part of his life, this cohort gave to me the much-needed consciousness about my masculinity and manhood. The men in this cohort, the men in this community, helped me to discover these words are for me to define as I see fit–I am whole and perfect as a man just the way I am. Ese, Modupe, Ase, Ase, Ase-O!!!!

Londell Jackson – TUM Cohort Graduate

Could not recommend this program more! The facilitators, content of the program, and community that’s built through this program far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to being a part of this community and continuing to grow to be my best self!

Brandon Groux – Cohort Graduate & Facilitator

I was in the process of a very difficult personal situation and I knew I needed more strength than I had available to make it through it. I joined this thinking – maybe this is something I can do to help myself. What I found was a place where I could be scared, where I didn’t have to lie to myself and pretend that everything was okay, and where I could truly be me. It was a fortress where I could retreat to and fall apart without any consequences. In doing that, I was able to reconstruct myself as a stronger person and let that ripple out to my family and beyond. I developed a toolset to drop out of the mental future that has me paralyzed, sharing at the wall, unsure of what to do. I am the rock for my family, but I needed to anchor myself to something. I found that here.

Alex Arnow – TUM Cohort Graduate

My participation in The Unshakable Man reconnected me to a place of safety and power. Pulling me more fully into the present, I was able to slow down and really look at myself and the other men in the group whom all have shown incredible and sometimes profound vulnerability with one another. That’s both an honor and a blessing for me. I’m also seriously benefiting from the breathwork offerings (all amazing facilitators). The drop-in groups are always an available way to slow down, connect and hold space with other like-minded men, everyone showing up exactly as they are at the moment.

John Bellette – TUM Cohort Graduate

When looking back on my own personal growth that has happened in the last 6 months I can’t help but have this program to feel thankful for. From the bottom of my heart thank you. These men have walked into my life and held my hand while I navigated my deepest suffering and pain. The support of the community at large has been helpful and personally, I wish I would have reached out more to the men in the community & program.

Bryson Ninow – TUM Cohort Graduate

I am growing as a man and this group and workshop was an incredible experience. It expanded my vision of what emotional awareness truly meant.

Thomas Owen – TUM Cohort Graduate

My reason for enrolling in The Unshakable Man was to meet and spend time with other men who were committed to bettering their relationship with themselves and the world around them. The experience surpassed my expectations, and I got more out of it than I ever thought I would. The experience was invaluable – It truly opened my eyes to the importance of taking time for myself. I loved being able to drop out of my roles and show up as my true self. Being able to create a container and hold space for other men to do the same gave me a deep sense of joy and appreciation.

Steven Rosenberg – TUM Cohort Graduate & Facilitator

I am grateful for the chance to meet this community of conscious men and have a chance to process my current emotional journey. Meeting men who are open about their struggles is powerful. I highly recommend this program.

Adam Ferguson – TUM Cohort Graduate

This program taught me new skills: slowing down, breathing, noticing, and feeling, that I am finding essential to my success in pursuit of new life goals.

James Echmalian – TUM Cohort Graduate

I have struggled with anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, uncertainty, and feeling stuck and trapped. None have been as effective and impactful as The Unshakable Man program and Men’s Coach, Chris Wilson. I literally started seeing results within just a few weeks of starting the program. From the breathwork to the emotional awareness to the understanding of “story” I started to better understand, acknowledge, and work through my triggers, fears, and anxieties. If you are looking for a coach who will listen to you, support you, challenge you when needed, and help you grow as a man, Chris Wilson is your man!

Julian Sproul – TUM Cohort Graduate

I enrolled in this cohort because I wanted to test myself and step out of my comfort zone. I am healing from an eating disorder and years of suppressing my emotions. I was at a point in my own recovery where I wanted to take it to the next level. I got exactly what I wanted from this experience. I feel like I developed new tools to help me become the compassionate man I want to be. This cohort challenged the stigmas and stereotypes that boxed me in for so long.

Jason Wood – TUM Cohort Graduate

The breathwork & men’s Groups were life-changing! This was a great group in which to get some exposure to men’s work, learn about emotions, and connect with men in a way that had been significantly missing from my life.

Matt Wright – TUM Cohort Graduate

The Unshakable Man program provided me with a new perspective on my daily internal operating system by giving me a framework to properly label my emotions, story, values, and purpose. Additionally, there was an extensive network of men readily available to connect, in a laid-back setting with excellent facilitators, weekly discussions, breathwork activities. I believe this program is the future of men increasing their emotional intelligence.

Peter Reiseman – TUM Cohort Graduate

I found it really helpful and eye-opening to see other men going through what I was and to be able to openly talk about having emotions since I don’t feel like I have many places in my life to do that.

Jason Raybin – TUM Cohort Graduate

Finding and connecting with a community of men to share, carry, be carried, love, struggle and accept- before this session I felt alone and felt like masculinity was a shield. I found several helpful habits – and connected with several amazing men. I hope to join retreats and in-person work in the future

Brad Woodward – TUM Cohort Graduate

I felt terribly alone in my journey. I had issues to work on. I was not satisfied with my relations with men. By joining Unshakable Man I was no longer alone. I was given the space to express myself. I took risks. I found common ground. I built my weeks around program opportunities. The Cohort was a highly engaging emotional and spiritual experience. Well organized and complete. The guiding team is skillful and loving. The program attracts men who are committed to personal growth. The culture is supportive and loving. I would have benefited from more one-on-one time with Chris and will likely sign up for that.

Brian Petraitis – TUM Cohort Graduate

Human connection on any level is tough, and as a guy, it was hard to find emotional guidance and support. The Unshakable Man is different from other groups I’ve been in because it’s tailored to remote interaction. It is so powerful to connect with men around the world on a deeper level, and the facilitators’ depth of knowledge on psychology, philosophy, and relationships helps to ground each moment. Through The Unshakable Man, I’ve learned that empathy and introspection in the company of fellow men are not only important but vital for me and my relationships.

Robert Lawson – TUM Cohort Graduate

It was a seamless transition into the Unshakable Man. A real connection on the phone…a warm welcome from a group…and bam, I was seated at a table with awe-inspiring men. It did and still feels like We are a part of something deep and monumental…the modern man.

Kyle Gaarder – Community Member

The way I think about my work with Chris is that it’s training and he’s my spotter. It’s a workout for my emotional fitness. The number of discoveries and aha! moments have been worth it’s weight in gold. When I applied this training to my life I just started having better results. I simply expanded my capacity.
