About EM

WHAT IS IT THE PROJECT TRIES TO ACHIEVE?

Essentially Man (EM) is a journey into the essence of masculinity. Founded by an Australian traveller inspired by a lifetime of global experiences, EM serves as a platform to explore the diverse perspectives of what it means to be a man.

Born from a personal quest to understand masculinity without traditional guidance, EM examines how male identities are shaped by universal themes and individual experiences across cultures.

The mission is to build a community that reflects the breadth of men's stories, offering support, insight, and global perspectives. Through this exploration, EM seeks to deepen our collective understanding of masculinity in today’s world.

Join us on this journey, where every voice adds to a richer, more nuanced conversation about what it truly means to be a man.

Here's How EM Connects

At the heart of Essentially Man (EM) lies a passion for authentic connection and a deep respect for the different experiences that shape men’s lives. EM’s approach centres on the act of listening — truly hearing men’s stories and seeing the world through their eyes.

EM values each man’s unique narrative. Whether an open book or more reserved, the goal is to engage in meaningful conversations, meeting men where they are and creating space for dialogue. Time spent with each participant is tailored to their comfort, honouring how they choose to share.

By exploring their values, ideals, and perspectives, EM not only seeks to understand but also to celebrate the individuality within each man’s experience of masculinity.

This project is about more than collecting stories — it’s about building genuine connections and being inspired by the men who contribute to this journey. EM is committed to exploring masculinity with respect and authenticity, making every interaction a vital piece of the larger conversation.
