What Is Read Mane?
Read Mane is not just a book club. It’s a movement. A call to grow. A space to stretch. A mindset to master. This summer, join men from Memphis, the Mid-South—and beyond—for a 4-week virtual experience rooted in intentional growth, emotional intelligence, and leadership development. We’re diving deep into John Maxwell’s The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth to unpack what it means to lead yourself before leading others. Whether you're in the boardroom, the barbershop, the classroom, or the courtroom—growth is still the goal. This is a men’s book club, but everyone is welcome. If you’re ready to grow, we’ve got a seat for you.
Why Join Read Mane?
“We either suffer the pain of change, or the pain of staying the same.” Growth isn’t accidental. It’s intentional. And that’s why Read Mane exists—to help men grow on purpose, not by pressure.
We’ll lean into Maxwell’s timeless truths, including the Law of the Rubber Band, which reminds us:
- Stretching creates space for significance
- Tension is a sign of growth—not failure
- The greatest version of you lives on the other side of discomfort
So if you feel the stretch, don’t pull back—lean in. That’s where the transformation happens.
