Redefining the Alpha: Live & Unfiltered

Redefining the Alpha: Live & Unfiltered is a day of raw, relevant, and relatable conversations about masculinity, mindset, psychology, and leadership.
Hear from elite athletes, coaches, therapists, and leaders as we explore what it truly means to be a man in today’s world — no fluff, no filters, just truth.

Let’s be honest — being a man today is confusing.
We’re expected to be strong, calm, successful, confident, emotionally intelligent — all while keeping everything together and pretending we’re able to carry the load.

But the truth is, most of us are figuring it out as we go.
That’s what Redefining the Alpha: Live & Unfiltered is about.

This isn’t a self-help talk or a room full of buzzwords — it’s a day of honest conversation about what it actually means to be a man right now.
No ego. No filters. Just straight talk, real stories, and lessons that matter.

Across three powerful panels, you’ll hear from fighters, psychologists, and leaders who’ve lived it — the highs, the breakdowns, and everything in between.
We’ll dive into the mindset behind elite performance, the psychology of change, and what true leadership looks like — not on social media, but in real life.

You’ll leave with practical tools, a fresh perspective, and that reminder most men forget:
you’re not the only one trying to figure this out.
