The Power of Brotherhood

Reflections from the Men’s Full-Life Fitness Summit 2025

---

On Saturday, September 27, 2025, I had the incredible opportunity to speak at the Men’s Full-Life Fitness Summit 2025, hosted by the University Hospitals Cutler Center for Men at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

As a proud Health Ambassador for the UH Cutler Center for Men, I was honored to stand alongside leaders, advocates, and community changemakers who are committed to helping men live healthier, fuller lives. The summit brought together men from all walks of life—educators, fathers, mentors, healthcare professionals, and brothers in purpose—all focused on one goal: strengthening mind, body, and community.

The Power of Brotherhood
During my talk, The Power of Brotherhood, I shared stories and lessons that have shaped my journey as a man, mentor, and community builder. Brotherhood, to me, isn’t just about friendship—it’s about accountability, vulnerability, and the courage to show up when it matters most.

I believe every man needs three key relationships in his life:

1. A Paul — a mentor who pours wisdom into you.
2. A Barnabas — a peer who walks beside you.
3. A Timothy — a mentee you pour into and help grow.

When these relationships are active, transformation happens—not just for us, but for our families and our communities. Brotherhood refines us, challenges us, and reminds us that success is never a solo journey.

Inspire Me Moments in Action
I’m grateful to the UH Cutler Center for Men for creating a space where men can speak openly about health, purpose, and connection. As I shared during my talk, “Real strength doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community.”

The Men’s Full-Life Fitness Summit reminded me that when we commit to showing up for each other, we don’t just improve our own lives—we transform entire families and communities.

As I closed my keynote, I left the audience with three simple but powerful challenges:

• Connect — Reach out to someone today. Make that call, send that text, or start that conversation. Connection begins with you.
• Reflect — Ask yourself, who is my Paul, my Barnabas, and my Timothy? And am I showing up for them the way I should?
• Support — Look around. Who can you listen to, encourage, or stand beside? Brotherhood isn’t just about what we gain—it’s about what we give.

​Let’s keep sharpening one another and creating more Inspire Me Moments every day.
