He co-founded Man Collective after this experience to help drag, nudge and inspire other guys to evolve and live lives they care about without cutting themselves off from their masculinity. Right now he spends his days finishing his degree at Oxford University and planning how he is going to start his own wine business. Alex is really excited (and pretty humbled) to be a part of the leadership team partly because he is super keen to learn and partly because he feels that focusing on how we communicate what we each do to other men is increasingly important and often lacking.
