“Brotherhood Starts Here.”

Join a community of men committed to growth, clarity, and courage. Welcome to the Valor Circle.

The Valor Circle isn’t just another forum.
It’s a mission-driven brotherhood built on the Universal Principles of Manhood — the foundation every man needs to rise:

🔐 Courage & Resilience – We face fear, endure pressure, and choose growth over comfort.
🧭 Leadership & Service – We lead by example, take responsibility, and serve a purpose greater than ourselves.
⚖️ Integrity & Stewardship – We live by our word, honor commitments, and protect what matters.
🎯 Purpose & Calling – We pursue clarity of direction and align our lives with meaning, not distraction.
🛠️ Self-Discipline & Respect – We build daily discipline, respect ourselves and others, and live with consistency.

“This brotherhood gave me the accountability I was missing.”
— James H., Age 27

“I stopped trying to figure life out alone. The Valor Circle changed my mindset.”
— Malcolm R., Father of 2

FAQ Block — “What You Might Be Wondering”

❓ Is this community only for coaching clients?

No — but it’s not for everyone.
The Valor Circle is open to men who are ready to do the work—whether or not they’re enrolled in a coaching program. If you’re committed to personal growth, accountability, and stepping into your leadership, you're welcome here.

Coaching clients receive additional access to exclusive threads and leadership calls—but the brotherhood is built for any man who’s ready to level up.

❓ How do I access the community?

After you join through the [checkout page or membership offer], you’ll receive an instant login to the Valor Circle inside Kajabi. You can access it anytime through your member dashboard.

You’ll also receive a welcome email with clear steps, links, and guidance to get started.

❓ What kind of support will I get inside?

Inside the Valor Circle, you’re not alone.

You’ll get:

📌 Weekly prompts to build courage, clarity, and consistency
💬 Ongoing feedback and accountability from the brotherhood
🧠 Insights and coaching guidance from Steven and select mentors
🔒 A safe space to challenge yourself and sharpen others
🎯 Direct alignment with the CLIPS Leadership System:
Courage • Leadership • Integrity • Purpose • Self-Discipline

❓ Can I stay anonymous?

Yes—if that’s where you’re at. You can use your first name, initials, or a username inside the group. What matters most is your presence and participation.

Growth starts with showing up—whatever that looks like for you.

❓ What makes this different from other online groups?

The Valor Circle is not a place for surface talk or ego.
It’s built by a man who’s walked through pain, recovery, and purpose—and now empowers others to do the same. This is rooted in the CLIPS framework and built around authentic transformation, not hype.

This isn’t a Facebook group. This is a fire-tested circle of high-integrity men doing real inner work.

❓ How do I get the most out of it?

Post weekly wins, struggles, or questions
Engage with prompts and reflections
Show up to live threads and challenges
Apply the CLIPS principles to your daily life
Don’t lurk—lead

You’ll get out what you put in.

❓ What if I fall off or feel overwhelmed?

That’s when the brotherhood shows up.

You’re not expected to be perfect—you’re expected to be honest. Post where you’re at. Let the group support you. No shame. Just movement.

One of our mottos: “Fall forward. Get up stronger. Keep building.”

Why Manhood Matters More Than Ever

Manhood is not a fashion statement. It’s not a hashtag. It’s a timeless calling — passed down through generations, across cultures and continents.

The blueprint for true manhood has never changed: Integrity. Responsibility. Self-Discipline. Courage. Leadership. Resilience. These aren’t “nice-to-haves.” They are the steel in a man’s spine, the compass that keeps him steady in life’s storms.

But today, that clarity has been shaken. Broken homes, shifting roles, and media portrayals have left a generation unsure of what healthy masculinity looks like.

Let’s be clear: masculinity is not toxic. What’s toxic is the absence of values. When men lack accountability, mission, and maturity — families crumble, communities weaken, and potential dies on the vine.

Real masculinity isn’t about domination or control — it’s about responsibility. It’s courage in the face of fear, resilience when life knocks you down, and leadership that guides with honor and integrity.

When men embrace these principles, they become unstoppable. They build stable homes, earn trust, and command respect — without ever demanding it.

This isn’t about turning men into something new. It’s about calling men back to who they were always meant to be. Because when men rise, families heal. Communities grow stronger. And the world changes for the better.

At SelfTransformation369, we believe: “All that you have inside of you – Is all you need.” The time to reclaim manhood is now.

Real Coaches. Real Growth. Real Results.

Certified Self-Transformation Coach | Founder of SelfTransformation369, LLC

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I’ve lived the transformation I now teach.
At 22, my life hit bottom—addiction, homelessness, and despair. But that was more than three decades ago. Since then, I’ve rebuilt every part of my life through faith, discipline, and relentless personal growth.

Now at 58, I’ve been clean and purposeful for over thirty years. I’ve earned a B.S. in Entrepreneurial Management from DePaul University and pursued an M.S. in Marketing at the Illinois Institute of Technology—while working full-time and rebuilding from nothing.

Those years shaped the foundation of SelfTransformation369, a life-coaching practice built to help men unlock what’s already inside them: strength, clarity, and leadership.
