A Purpose Excavation Workbook for Men
Get the Free WorkbookNo cost. No catch. Just do the work.
They have a job, a routine, maybe a family. They’re showing up. They’re functional. But underneath all of it is a quiet, persistent feeling — like they’ve drifted from something real. Something true. Something that was them.
It doesn’t announce itself. It just happens. One avoided decision at a time. One broken promise at a time. Until one day you look in the mirror and barely recognize the man looking back.
This workbook is the conversation most men never have with themselves. And it starts with one question: Who are you, really?
A Note from Chad
“This workbook is not therapy. It’s not soft. It’s a conversation between two men — me and you — about who you actually are and who you’re capable of becoming. You’re going to excavate your past, get brutally honest about your present, and build a clear picture of your future. Not a fantasy. A direction. A destination.”
— Chad Spencer, Good Sir — The Grounded Man
What’s Inside
Each section builds on the last. By the end, you won’t have a to-do list — you’ll have a man.
Before you can know where you’re going, you have to be honest about where you’ve been. This section excavates your past for clues about who you really are underneath everything.
Radical honesty. Not who you tell people you are. Not who you’re trying to be. Who you actually are right now — strengths, drift, tolerations, and all.
This is where it gets real. You’ve looked at your past. You’ve been honest about your present. Now build the future — deliberately, specifically, with your own hands.
What You Walk Away With
Your values. Your mission. Your vision. Not as concepts — as written, specific commitments.
The real ones — not the ones that sound good. The ones that make you feel hollow when you violate them.
A declaration of who you are and how you show up — for yourself, your family, and the world.
A vivid, specific picture of the life you’re building. Not a fantasy — a direction. A destination.
