Men’s Minute Monday
One Minute.
One Connection.
Every Monday.
At The Men Spirit, we recognize the profound impact of meaningful connection. In a world that often pulls us away from ourselves, maintaining authentic friendships can be a challenge. Inspired by Zachary Perez's viral "Wednesday Waffle," Men’s Minute Monday is a simple yet powerful practice designed to bridge the gap between isolation and belonging.
The Story Behind the Minute
Zachary Perez, a 40-year-old Australian, created the "Wednesday Waffle" during the pandemic—a weekly tradition where he and his close friends shared 1-2 minute video updates. What began as a simple check-in evolved into a lifeline of authentic sharing, allowing them to celebrate victories and navigate personal struggles together.
The impact was profound. These brief weekly connections strengthened friendships in ways they never anticipated, proving that consistency is the foundation of trust. At The Men Spirit, we’ve adopted this ritual to help men stay grounded, seen, and heard.

•Be authentic: This is a space to drop the mask and be human.
3. Witness & Respond
Watch updates from fellow members. By witnessing another man’s story, you offer the gift of presence.
•Offer support: A simple acknowledgment or word of encouragement goes a long way.
•Experience the power of the circle: Feel the strength that comes from being part of a supportive brotherhood.
