Dear Men of Honour,

I hope this message finds you well.

Coming off the energy of our recent conference, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of resilience, mentorship, and leading with integrity—three pillars of a man’s strength. Life will test us, responsibilities will weigh on us, and the path won’t always be clear. But the men who rise are the ones who choose to endure, learn from those ahead of them, and walk with unwavering character.

In this week’s edition of The Honour Code, let’s take a moment to focus on how we can cultivate resilience, pour into others, and lead with integrity in our daily lives.

Let’s dive in…

3 Truths

I.

Resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about facing it, learning from it, and coming back stronger. The strongest men aren’t those who never fall, but those who stand back up, dust themselves off, and keep going.

Whatever you’re facing, let it build you, not break you.

II.

Mentorship isn’t just about receiving guidance; it’s about passing it on. Every man needs a mentor, and every man should be a mentor to someone else. If you’re only taking in wisdom but not sharing it, you’re stopping the cycle of growth.

Seek out someone who can pour into you—and pour into someone else.

III.

Integrity is what defines a man when no one is watching. It’s easy to stand for what’s right when the spotlight is on you. But true leadership happens in the quiet moments, in the small decisions, in the unseen acts of honesty and character.

Choose to be the same man in private as you are in public.
