EP209: Geoff Tomlinson - Why Men Need A Men's Group Part 2

Written By Chris Rodd

“And it is nothing more than a construct you've created because you don't want to change, or you're afraid of change, or you're afraid of the truth inside of the lie. And inside of that lie lies the transformation you actually seek.” 

A strong men’s group isn’t just a pit stop for fixing a single problem—it’s a forge where character is hammered, sharpened, and kept battle-ready for life’s curveballs. The real value comes from staying in the fire long after the immediate issue is solved. Surface wins—like a better marriage or a stronger career—are just the entry point. The deeper transformation comes from years of honest feedback, blind-spot exposure, and seeing other men walk through the storms you haven’t faced yet. 

Geoff Tomlinson drives home that lasting change requires long-haul commitment. Short-term fixes often mask the real issues that quietly resurface later. Staying means you not only face your own lies and patterns but also learn through the struggles of other men—divorce, loss, career upheaval—before they happen to you. And over time, you give back, becoming the man who asks the question that changes someone else’s life. 

Geoff Tomlinson has spent 28 years in men’s work, helping men move beyond quick fixes into true transformation. He’s seen first-hand how the right group of committed men can reshape a man’s relationships, career, and inner life. Known for his direct approach, Jeff blends decades of hard-earned wisdom with practical tools to keep men sharp, self-aware, and battle-tested.
