OUR SHARED MISSION

We're on a mission to help Gen-X creative professionals navigate their way into a better future.

For too long, guys like us (designers, writers, creative directors, producers, Bionic Man enthusiasts) have been told to figure it out alone. That our best years are behind us. That reinvention at 45+ is impossible.

Well, we believe that’s a load of Bobby Brady.

Molting Men exists because midlife transitions require community, honest conversation, and people who actually get it. No LinkedIn theater. No fake networking. Just real support from guys who've been there…

Guys like you.

What does it mean to be a founding member?

Being a founding member isn't just about showing up to calls, it's a commitment to bring your voice, your talent, and your intensity to this community.

Here's what we believe: The path forward is already in you. Michelangelo called it non-finito (the sculpture exists within the stone). You're not building something from nothing. You're chiseling away what doesn't belong.

That's what we do at MM. We help you chip away the fear, the self-doubt, the outdated narratives, and the kryptonite keeping your next chapter hidden.

Founding members are the core 21 who believe in this mission enough to invest early, pull on the Colonel Austin tracksuit, and help shape the community for everyone who comes after.

Think of it like this: You're not just joining, you're on the advisory board for what becomes an army of creatives not competing for the same old jobs. Instead, we’re helping each other power into a better future (pants optional).

WHAT’S Happening?

Starting December 1st, all Molting Men calls (Molting Monday + Treefort Friday) are moving to a private members-only platform.

Free calls end November 30th.

Founding members invest $29/month to help launch the Circle platform, fund initial workshops, and build the infrastructure that makes MM possible for hundreds of Gen-X creatives who need it.

Your investment gets you permanent founding member status, voice in MM's direction, and protection of the intimate core community you're helping create.

Only 21 founding member spots available.

WHAT YOU GET

✓ Weekly Molting Monday + Treefort Friday live calls
Real conversations. No bullshit. Just guys navigating midlife career transitions together.

✓ Private Circle community platform
One place for everything. Calendar, recordings, discussions. No more hunting for Zoom links.

✓ Complete call recordings library
Can't make it live? Watch on your schedule.

✓ Monthly workshops, bootcamps, and programs at founding member discounts
Navigate transitions, start side hustles, chip away what's blocking you. Some free, all discounted.

OTHER GOODIES

✓ Advisory board status
Direct voice in shaping MM's programming, direction, and growth. Quarterly meetups, monthly feedback sessions, occasional 1-on-1s.

✓ Your $29/month rate, locked in till the end of time (or when our AI overlords start wearing Dockers). Never goes up.

✓ You're helping build something bigger than yourself
Your investment funds scholarships, subsidizes programming, and keeps the door open for guys who need this but can't afford it yet.

✓ Infinite homages to Rush
Fly by night, hoser.

"When you're not talking to anybody and you get in a rut, you just can't get out. Something that got me back into doing what I'm doing now is you guys.

Just showing up here and having a conversation, realizing that we can get the f*** out of where we're at right now and get to better places—that's what's exciting."

MM Codenename: UltraNova, MM Founding Member

Founding Members: Your Treefort Stays Yours

No matter how much MM grows, your calls stay exactly as they are. Same intimate format. Same founding member group. Period.

New members join their own cohorts. We're building outward, not diluting what you've got. The 21 founding spots aren't a marketing gimmick—once they're filled, they're closed.

You get both: the intimate core you're building AND the satisfaction of helping other Gen-X creatives find their way forward.

Perfect holiday gift to help someone kick off the year with real support, honest conversation, and a path forward. They'll get full access to calls, Circle platform, workshops, and the community (plenty of time to decide if MM is right for them).

FAQs

Being a founding member isn't just about showing up to calls. It's a commitment to bring your voice, your talent, and your gifts to our expanding universe.

We're on a mission to help our fellow Gen-X creatives navigate their way into a better future, and founding members are the core group building this thing from the ground up.

You're not just joining a community. You're helping shape what it becomes.

Pants optional.
Founding membership is flexible but intentional. Here's what we believe this looks like:
- Weekly calls (Molting Monday + Treefort Friday): Join when you can, always optional
- Quarterly founding member meetups: ~90 minutes to shape what's next
- Monthly feedback sessions: Quick input on community direction
- Occasional 1-on-1s: Connect with auGi or the MM team when it makes sense
- Circle participation: Chime in when you've got something to say
The point isn't perfect attendance—it's showing up when it matters and bringing your voice when we need it.
HELL NO! Founding members stay in their own calls and cohorts: same group, same intimacy, period.

New members join their own separate community experiences. We're building outward, not diluting what you've got. Think of it like an underground band that protects the core fans while reaching more people. Your “treefort” stays yours.
Circle launches and you get your login details via email. All calls, recordings, and community discussions move to the platform. Your first charge processes (or already processed if you paid upfront for annual).
Yes, just email oscar@moltingmen.com and we'll handle it. You keep your founding rate either way.
No problem. All calls are recorded and, with rare exception, available in the library. Watch on your schedule.
Yes. If you cancel, you lose access to the platform and calls, but if you rejoin later, you keep your $29 founding rate as long as you rejoin within 90 days. After that, you pay regular pricing ($39-49/month).
Founding members get 20-50% off paid workshops and special events we run. Plus priority access before we open to regular members.
Yes! We can work out a pay-it-forward arrangement—reduced monthly rate now (some skin in the game required) in exchange for referring a minimum of 3 new members when regular membership opens in January. Don't let money be the reason you miss out.

Email oscar@moltingmen.com to discuss.
Yes! You can gift a 3-month membership for $87.

The recipient gets full access to calls, Circle platform, workshops, and community starting January 2026. Perfect holiday gift for a colleague or friend who's navigating a career transition.
How does a gift membership work?
You pay $87, tell us who it's for, and we'll reach out to them by year’s end with login details and a welcome message. Their 3-month membership gives them plenty of time to experience MM and decide if they want to continue.
Is a gift membership the same as founding membership?

No. Gift memberships start in January as regular memberships.
What happens after the 3 months end?

We'll reach out to the recipient in March to see if they want to continue at regular membership pricing. No pressure—the gift is complete after 3 months regardless.

Thank you for being kind and paying it forward. It’s what Molting Men do. :)
Founding member pricing closes on November 30th.

After that, you can still join MM at regular pricing ($39-49/month), but you won't get the locked $29 founding rate or founding member status.
Recurring. Monthly members are billed $29 every month. Annual members are billed $319 once per year.

Your founding rate never increases. Like, never, dude. :)
If you join and realize it's not for you within the first 30 days, email oscar@moltingmen.com and we'll work something out. After 30 days, no refunds, but you can cancel anytime.
Nada. Come to whichever calls work for your schedule. Some guys hit both every week, some rotate, some just watch recordings. Some eat Jiffy Pop while watching in the comfort of their Speed Racer jammies. It's your membership. Use it how it works for you!
Now through November 30th: Founding member signup open (locked $29/month rate)

December 1st: Circle platform launches, founding members get full access

December 9th & 13th: First calls on the new platform

January 2026: Regular membership opens to public at $39-49/month
MM and Geezer are separate communities with a shared mission: helping Gen-X creative professionals thrive. We're affiliate partners and will continue supporting each other on the road ahead, but MM: Members Only Edition is specifically the Molting Men community and programming.

Good news: John K is a founding member, so he'll be right there with us.
Like swearing, pants remain optional.
