Last week we said that mentorship matters more than money.

However, does money matter more than a single dinner opportunity with a successful individual?

Are you taking the money or the dinner? Let us know in the comments.

Being a provider is only part of the job.

In his new piece for Men of Genius, Alfred Duran makes the case that emotional safety isn't soft — it's foundational. Our sons learn that vulnerability isn't weakness. Our daughters learn that love should feel secure and respectful. And all of it starts at home, because for most kids, we're the first blueprint they ever get.

If you're a father, mentor, or any man raising the next one up, this one's worth your time.

It started as a book club. It turned into something we didn't know we needed.

Alfred Duran's latest reflection on the Bread & Book Club is up on the Genius Level Substack and he names something a lot of men feel but rarely say out loud:

"Too many men only gather around entertainment, sports, or surface-level conversations. Too many men are starving for spaces where they can grow intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and personally."

Over several weeks, a group of men sat with Jason Wilson's The Man the Moment Demands and somewhere between the chapters, the room shifted. The pressure came up. The grief came up. The fear, the fatherhood, the silent weight of "holding it together" — all of it came up.

Not because anyone forced it. Because the room was finally safe enough for the truth.

This is what we mean when we talk about developing Men of Genius. Not just smarter. Not just more successful. More whole.

Let the games begin, lol.⁠

This leaderboard is missing somebody. It's you!

A whole generation of boys who need to see what grown manhood looks like up close.

Shout out to Terrence, Chris, Karim, Mark, Marcus, Nathan, and David for showing up. You men are setting the standard.

Terrence is at 3 visits and getting a little too comfortable. Somebody come humble him. 🙃

Read to a Pre-K class. Develop a genius. Climb the board.

Some of the most important work a man can do happens sitting on the floor, building something small with a child who looks up to him.

That's what LEGO & Literacy: Fathers & Formula 1 is about.

🏁 Saturday, June 13 | 11 AM – 1 PM
📍 Whitehall Shine Bright Center
🎟️ Free admission — link in bio

Fathers, mentors, and the boys (and girls) who love them will read together, build a Formula 1 LEGO kit together, and share a meal together. Every family leaves with a book, a tee, a bag, and a memory.

Thank you to Commissioner Erica Crawley and the Board of Commissioners for continuing to invest in our boys.

Father's Day Celebration starts here. 🔗 Link in bio.

Imagine a world where early care and education are seen as a birthright for every child.
For our boys and young men, it's crucial they feel seen, valued, and loved unconditionally.
Mentorship and community involvement play a vital role in shaping their futures.
Let's come together to ensure every child has the opportunity to connect with positive role models and thrive.
