In The Huddle
Real conversations.
Practical resources.
Actionable next steps designed to help men stay in the game.
For more than two decades, Chris Howell has created trusted spaces where men can have the conversations they often avoid. In the Huddle is a recurring series — and this session is designed to address the three issues that most often keep men awake at night: their health, their finances, and their identity.
In the Huddle brings together approximately 120 men for a half-day experience combining meaningful dialogue, preventive health screenings, expert panels, and direct access to healthcare professionals — empowering men to make healthier decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities.
More than an annual event, In the Huddle continues to connect men with trusted resources, strategic partners, and ongoing opportunities that support healthier lives, financial wellness, and stronger communities.

Why In The Huddle?
In sports, a huddle is when the team gathers together to strategize, motivate, or celebrate. Usually, the leader of the huddle is the team captain whose role it is to inspire their team to achieve success. In addition to this emotional component, there is also great practicality: it is a popular strategy for keeping opponents unaware of sensitive information, and serves as a forum of sound insulation when the level of noise in the venue/world is such that normal on-field communication is difficult.
Metaphorically, men now require a “huddle” of their own to understand modern society and their place in it and to strategize in a safe environment free from figurative and literal external noise. In an effort to provide the support that few men have had access to in recent decades, and to answer their questions and concerns, author, entrepreneur, and broadcast personality, Chris Howell, is calling men into The Huddle, a men-only event that will discuss topics addressed in his groundbreaking book, “Man Talk: The Hard Things Men Never Talk About.”
This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to get in the room, ask better questions and take responsibility for what happens next.
Because the people who depend on us need us healthy. They need us prepared. They need us present.
