MDI Branding (from Dec 2016, current as of 2025)
TAGLINE
Find the man you’ve always wanted to be.
INTRODUCTION
We don't define what winning means or how you get there. We just help each other find it and work towards it, giving each other the honest feedback and relentless support it takes to keep moving towards your passion and purpose. We call this "causing greatness."
MDI is not just about you. Yes, men need to confront their personal challenges and demons to be truly effective, and we help each other do it. But you're not the higher purpose you're working towards. Being there for others is.
We empower men by giving them the tools they need to succeed, which they discover and use in weekend trainings, weekly courses, mentoring, team meetings, and all the contact and support in-between. And when we have a setback, our teammates help us get back on our feet, and make sure we've learned something from it. We call this "living with excellence."
MISSION
To cause greatness by mentoring men to live with excellence and, as mature masculine leaders, create successful families, careers and communities
VISION
A world where Honor, Selflessness, Commitment, Integrity, Training, and Learning give men the wisdom and courage to serve all men, women, and children for the betterment of humanity
CORE VALUES
HONOR
Honor means having a sense of doing the right thing, even when it's hard. Nobody else defines what the "right thing" is for you. You already know.
SELFLESSNESS
We believe that putting yourself before others leads to a higher purpose: one to others and the greater good.
COMMITMENT
A man with no commitment is rudderless. Having a commitment to something bigger than yourself creates a man of purpose. It's a compass that will guide you through life
INTEGRITY
Integrity means giving your word and carefully keeping it. It's central to being the man you always wanted to be. We believe that every time a man does something that's against what he stands for, a piece of his soul dies
TRAINING & LEARNING
The life lessons that men need to learn aren't easily adopted from a book or a class. They require a commitment to ongoing training and lifelong learning.
FOOTER TEXT
MDI empowers men by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. This can come in the form of weekend trainings or weekly courses, one on one mentoring or weekly team meetings. As an organization we believe that true wisdom comes not from a single source but from the diverse viewpoints of our community of men.
