Tournament Male

Worldview first

EO gathers owners who share one interest: building a business past $1 million. That's a real bond, and the monthly forum gives it a regular place. Tournament Male starts from worldview. Our members are technology-first, family-oriented and libertarian, and they value Christianity. The shared interests follow from that.

A fraternity built only on the fact that everyone runs a business goes only so far. Two founders can compare notes on their companies for years, but if their worldviews run in opposite directions, the friendship tends to stop at the business. In the modern world, shared values are what carry a relationship past the work.

Tournament Male covers the whole man: body, family, faith and business. New members start with a six-week initiation, with daily fitness tracking in CalorieBot, and Frame Forum and Business Forum every week for men Travis coaches, and every member is ranked each quarter on results. There's no revenue requirement and no age cap, so a man can join before his company reaches $1 million, or alongside his EO forum after it does.

I've made more progress in 2 weeks than I have all year. Wish I would have joined 4 months ago when I was considering. Immediately adds structure - hard to explain really but the design of the group is something I've never experienced before. Everyone seems to operate at a high level but is also chill and fun. Being in the Discord has noticeably lifted my mood when I participate. Highly recommend

Inside

What the brotherhood looks like

Every week men meet on camera in Frame Forum, led by Travis. One man brings what's actually happening at home or at work, and the others share only what they lived through. Between calls, members meet in person.

From the members

In their own words

To say this group has been life-changing for me is not an exaggeration… The 'Co-working' sessions in TM also encouraged and assisted me with building my own business. The venture began out-performing my 6-figure, Fortune-500-company job almost immediately after launch; Allowing me to quit my 9-5 mid-2023, and become my own boss.

I wish I'd found TM sooner. I've lost 25 pounds, I'm in the best shape in 20 years, my family is thriving and I finally launched my business after 10 years of doing nothing. I didn't know what not having a group of aligned men in my life was costing me. And I wouldn't have done this without TM

Who it's for

When EO is the right call

EO and Tournament Male do different jobs, and some men belong to both. EO is the better fit when:

You own a business past $1M in revenue and want a forum of other owners who carry the same load.
You want a monthly forum built around the problems of running your own company.
You want a global network: about 20,000 members in more than 220 chapters.

Questions

EO, answered

What are the requirements for EO membership?

You must be an owner, founder or majority stakeholder of a business with at least US$1 million in revenue in its most recent fiscal year. EO also lists a route for venture-backed founders who have raised at least $2 million privately or $5 million publicly and have at least 10 employees. EO's current pages state no age limit.

How much does EO membership cost?

Global dues are US$2,630 a year, plus a one-time US$3,500 initiation. Each chapter adds its own dues: EO Colorado listed $4,370 a year and a $2,500 chapter initiation for 2024/25. An older EO page gave global dues of $2,470, so confirm current figures with your chapter.

What's the difference between EO and YPO?

EO is for owners and founders of businesses with at least $1 million in revenue, and its current pages state no age limit. YPO is for chief executives under 45 whose companies have $16 million or more in revenue and at least 50 full-time employees (or 15+ with $2.75M in yearly pay). Both are built around a small forum that meets monthly. Global dues are $2,630 a year for EO and $4,790 for YPO, with chapter dues on top of each.

Is EO worth it?

It depends on what you want from it. If you own a business past $1 million and want a monthly forum of peers who also run companies, EO is built for that. If what you want most is close friendship with men who share your worldview, a group built around business ownership may not give you that on its own.

Can I be in EO and Tournament Male?

Yes. They do different jobs. EO puts you with other owners to work on your business; Tournament Male is a fraternity for the man running it, with men aligned on body, family, faith and building.
