Mates — The Founder, Team and Voices of Forge

12 — The Founder & Team
Why I Built Forge.
I have spent years working with people facing adversity.
Some were battling addiction. Some lacked purpose. Some had lost confidence in themselves.
The common theme was rarely weakness. It was disconnection.
Forge was created to reconnect men with challenge, accountability, purpose and community — because people are stronger than they realise. Given the right environment, support, education and challenge, extraordinary growth becomes possible.
