I have been following the AoM for 15+ years and I am glad to be able to support them in this way.

I’d like to see you bring back the “You Want my Job” series when you interviewed a person in a career and what it took to enter the profession, what the job is actually like and how much the are and can earn.

Likewise! I'm an old fan myself. Looking forward to the new content.

Ditto this - I've been reading/listening for many years now, and happy to support financially after all the great content over the years.

AOM has added so much value to my life, I've ordered merch before, happy to support this endeavor.

Awesome, I’m quite excited about this. I am a high school math teacher who started a weekly after school club for our young men called “The Virtuous Life” a year and a half ago. I most definitely “borrowed” that name from your series on Ben Franklin’s virtues. We utilize many of your articles and Sunday Fireside’s.

I began listening to your podcast in late 2020, and have read the works of many authors you have interviewed and have discussed them as well with my friends, father, students and young men in my club. To say you’ve been a light in my life and are adding great value to these young men in Central Illinois would be a tremendous understatement. I could only begin to thank you for website and podcast.

Really glad Brett and Kate are finding ways to publish more Writing, rather than focusing more on YouTube or podcasting. Was so happy to read about this!

I see a lot of comments about “supporting AoM”. I agree completely- but for me, it almost feels like that phrase is charitable. I’ve gotten so much from AoM over the years and it truly feels like a one sided relationship where I’m the only beneficiary. I’m more than happy to make this a business transaction where I pay a little bit and am able to benefit from it a ton: just like my gym membership or Netflix subscription. Thanks guys! I look forward to this new endeavor.

Man awesome seeing you here. I reread some of your posts from AoM from back in the day every year or so.

Allocating a bit of spending money to this was a no-brainer. Love the thoughtful, informative, and interesting work you do.

Been an avid listener ever since my Dad bought me the Art of Manliness book way back as a teenager. I've always looked forward to my Monday and Wednesday commutes to see what the new AoM episode will bring. Your work has been a massive part of my life over the past 10+ years and I'm thrilled to support you guys in this way now.

Fun little AoM story... my wife and I were traveling in the German Alps this summer. While we were in line for a cable car ride up into the mountains, we overheard a group of fellow Americans nearby discussing podcast recommendations. I was amazed to hear a woman in the group say something "You HAVE to listen to the Art of Manliness. I recommend it to everyone looking for a good podcast." Hearing an AoM shoutout thousands of miles away from home was a very cool moment and a highlight of the trip.

Keep up the great work Kate & Brett!

I agree with everyone else here, my family and I have benefited so much from AoM's content that it is a privilege to support Brett and Kate's work in this way.
