Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted intentionally on FB. Most of what comes through here is a passthrough from IG. In any case, I wanted to share some good news and ask for prayer!
As some of you probably heard a while back, I have decided to make Wolf & Iron a Nonprofit. This move will allow Wolf & Iron to be more mission centric and absolutely feels like the right move forward.
For years I've tried to find a unique way of generating revenue through W&I. Unlike my other biz Rustic & Main where we make a product and sell it, W&I is different. Yes, we make products and will continue to do so, but the heart has always been to help men grow. Better husbands, fathers, leaders, and so forth.
So, I have officially began creating The Wolf & Iron Foundation. A nonprofit that will spur on the mission of helping men Heed the High Call in our lives.
The paperwork has been filed with NC and I've applied for an EIN from the Feds. Next step is to officially apply with the IRS and this is where the prayer need comes in.
Unlike starting a regular LLC, nonprofits do undergo a bit more scrutiny. I am praying that this is approved and we don't have any issues moving forward.
Now, a little about the nonprofit and the changes. We'll still have beard oils and other goods, so long as they are mission-aligned (which everything is). We are going to focus on creating Guilds. This was our band of brothers and was quite successful for the men who joined. But, it was all within The Foundry (now defunct) and created a barrier for entry.
Our goal is to remove that barrier and streamline creating and joining a Guild.
I will provide more info on this once we are rolling forward with this new plan. You can expect to hear more about it in upcoming podcast episodes as well.
Thanks for all of the years of support! Here's to new adventures!
Mike
