"My name is Walter Mendenhall, Executive Director of the Male Mogul Initiative. We recently purchased the the Journey Deck and used it as an icebreaker to learn more about one another. The experience was incredible—one of our participants even said it was the best icebreaker he had ever done! Since then, we’ve incorporated the Journey Deck into our daily check-ins, and it has been transformative. The questions are thoughtfully designed, highly engaging, and create a safe space for men to lower their guards. This tool has truly helped us foster vulnerability, transparency, and stronger connections within our group. I highly recommend it!"

"What I liked most about The Journey Deck is that each question has the potential to take participants down a road of reflection and openness, which guys sometimes shy away from. But something about being on playing cards, how they are designed, the simplicity and masculinity all seemed non-threatening, exclusive, and luxurious. The Journey Deck brought a leveling sense, where you could feel the room getting heavy and then light, and as the group went on, I became more open, vulnerable, and excited to hear the next question. The cards created a sense of empathy and anticipation that was refreshing and helpful in the space. I will use it again and again and again."

I never thought a question about sandwiches could spark a conversation about my dad, but it did. I’ve been ordering the same sandwich every month for ages, ever since I grew up on Long Island. When I moved to LA, I realized just how much I missed that sandwich—and my dad, who was the one who introduced me to it. It’s funny how these seemingly simple questions can be so layered and fun to discuss with both old and new friends. Now, I take the deck with me wherever I go. It helps me meet new people and gives us something fun to talk about, which has been a bit of a challenge lately.

This deck had us laughing and telling stories for HOURS at my brothers bachelor's party bonfire.

I figured the 24 pack of beer would be the biggest reason, but these cards seemed to take the cake.

I was working remotely after cross-country relocation with my newborn and family, only to find out my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I felt alone on my journey and had nowhere to go. After working with GentsJourney, I was able to reconnect to myself and other men to reignite my passion and purpose. Now I'm thriving and living my life "from happiness" as opposed to living "for happiness."
