THE EXPERIENCE
What is The Forge?
The Forge is a three-day immersive experience designed for high-performing men who have achieved success but feel something is missing. This is not a retreat. It is an investment in the version of yourself you have been putting off.
Set against the raw beauty of the Montana mountains, The Forge strips away the noise of everyday life and creates the space for real transformation. You will push your limits, sit with discomfort, and do the work that actually moves the needle.
Andy Stumpf has spent his life in environments where pressure reveals character. The Forge is built on that same principle: when the conditions are right, people do the work they have been avoiding.
WHO IT IS FOR
Built for Men Who Are Ready
You have built something real. The business, the family, the reputation. And yet something is missing and you cannot quite name it.
You are surrounded by people who need things from you. You perform well under pressure. But the conversations that actually matter, the ones about what is next and what it all means, those do not happen in your daily life.
The Forge is for the man who is ready to close that gap.
THE EXPERIENCE
Three Days. No Distractions.
DAY 1 ARRIVAL AND ORIENTATION
The mountain sets the tone. From the moment you arrive, the noise of the outside world falls away. The evening is intentional: introductions that go past titles, a shared meal, and a conversation about what each man showed up to do.
- 4:00 PM Arrivals
Check in, settle in, meet the group. - 6:00 PM Welcome Dinner
First meal together. Andy opens the weekend. - 8:00 PM Opening Circle
One question. Every man answers. The tone is set.
DAY 2 The WOrk
The full day. This is where The Forge earns its name. Morning challenges that test your body and clear your mind. Structured sessions that go deep on the things most men never say out loud. Evening that brings it all together around the fire.
- 6:00 AM Morning Movement
Physical challenge to start the day right. No prior fitness level required, just willingness. - 8:00 AM Breakfast
- 9:00 AM Session: Mental Performance
How you think under pressure. The patterns holding you back. The tools that change them. - 11:30 AM Session: Small Group Breakouts
20 men split into small groups. Curated, not random. This is where the real conversations happen. - 1:00 PM Lunch
- 2:00 PM Session: Purpose and Direction
Where you are, where you want to be, and what is actually in the way. - 4:30 PM Free Time / 1:1 Access
Unstructured time. Most events never let you actually talk to the person you came to see. This one does. - 6:30 PM Dinner
- 8:30 PM Fire Pit: The Clearing
"What are you carrying that you have never said out loud?" This is where walls come down.
DAY 3 INTEGRATION AND COMMITMENT
The morning is about locking in what you learned and deciding what you are going to do with it. Every man leaves with a specific commitment, witnessed by the group, and the connections to hold him to it.
- 8:00 AM Breakfast
- 9:00 AM Session: The Operating Framework
Levels 5 through 7. Relational, Professional, Legacy. Integration: what does this look like when you get home? - 10:30 AM Commitment Ceremony
Each man states one commitment. Specific. Time-bound. Witnessed by the group. - 11:30 AM Closing
Challenge coin from Andy. Handshake. Eye contact. - 12:30 PM Departures
Sealed envelope handed at departure.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Everything Is Intentional
- Curated Small Groups Not random. The healthcare CEO sits with the tech founder and the entrepreneur who built it from nothing. These groups are designed to create tension and insight. They become your people.
- Challenge Coin Custom designed. Heavy. Something you will keep on your desk for the rest of your career.
- Spouse LetterA sealed envelope from Andy to your spouse: what you experienced and how they can support what comes next.
- 1:1 Time with AndY Most events never let you actually talk to the person you came to see. This one does. Unstructured access built directly into the schedule.
- Limited to 20 SpotSThe size is not a sales tactic. It is a requirement. The work only happens when everyone in the room is engaged. Twenty is the ceiling.
No spam. Just first access when spots open.
The Forge is a significant personal investment, not a weekend workshop. This is a premium experience for leaders who are serious about what comes next.
