5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for divorce recovery!
The literal first quote in the introduction to this book: "I never thought this would be my story". That is one of the repeated phrases in my head going through my divorce. This opening set the tone for this book where so much of it was like my future, recovered self speaking to me now.
This book covers everything I could think of for divorce recovery. Some of my favorite parts were little things like not focusing on your ex's social media, setting boundaries, trying to "upgrade" in your rebound, and the power of "yet".
Cody Smith
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
This book was exactly what I needed; it's real advice from someone who went through it. No sugarcoating the pain and uncertainty...just real advice. It walks through the emotional fallout, identity loss, boundaries, social media traps, and rebuilding purpose in a clear way.

Hey, I’m Dean Ponak!
Let me tell you the day my life changed forever...
I remember the moment as clearly as if it happened yesterday. I was standing in the airport holding my ten-month-old son in one arm and a dozen red roses in the other, waiting for my beautiful wife to come through the arrival gate after being away for two weeks.
I imagined the moment she would walk through the doors, see us standing there together, and smile the smile that had always made everything feel right.
The doors opened and passengers began streaming out into the terminal. My son and I waited as the crowd slowly passed by, each person greeting the people who loved them.
Then finally, I saw her.
I’m sure she could see us standing there, but instead of walking toward us, she kept looking down and glancing up only occasionally as she moved closer through the crowd.
When she was less than ten feet away, she still hadn’t made eye contact, and she hadn’t smiled at our baby boy who was reaching out toward the people passing by.
She walked right past us as if we were strangers.
When Everything Started Falling Apart
If you have ever been sucker punched in the stomach and felt the air leave your lungs, you may have some sense of what that moment felt like, except this was far worse. I watched as she continued walking toward an open space away from the crowd, and my mind began racing as I tried to make sense of what was happening. I honestly believed she must be playing some kind of game or teasing me in some way, because the alternative simply didn’t make sense.
So I followed her.
When we reached a quieter area away from the terminal crowd, she finally looked up at me but said nothing. Instead, she simply held out her arms to take our son. I handed him over while still waiting for a hug, a kiss, or even a simple smile that would reassure me everything was normal.
Instead, the only words she spoke were, “We have to talk.”
From that moment forward, my life entered what I can only describe as a nightmare.
Even now, almost fifteen years later, many of the details from that period feel blurred and fragmented in my memory. When you go through a traumatic period of your life, your mind sometimes protects you by dulling the clarity of what happened. I spent years trying to make sense of everything.
My family told me I needed to learn to forgive. Friends reminded me that it takes two people to make a marriage work. My pastor encouraged me to believe that God was working through the pain and that there must be a purpose for everything we were going through.
All of it was well-intentioned advice, but none of it truly helped me understand what was happening inside my life or inside my own mind.
I am a stubborn man by nature, and I continued trying to make the marriage work for another five years. During that time we had another baby, and although that child brought immeasurable joy into my life and made much of the pain worthwhile, the overall situation continued to deteriorate.
At one point we even had the opportunity to purchase a piece of property that would be worth millions today. Instead, after once again following what turned out to be very poor advice, we moved onto her mother’s property to live “rent-free.”
I will never forget the moment I told my own mother about that decision.
She looked at me and quietly said, “That will be the final nail in the coffin of your marriage.”
As much as I wish she had been wrong, she was absolutely right.
When you are living inside a dark fog of emotional stress, confusion, and constant conflict, it becomes almost impossible to make good decisions.
When you are living inside a dark fog of emotional stress, confusion, and constant conflict, it becomes almost impossible to make good decisions. You lose confidence in your ability to think clearly, and you begin listening to anyone who offers advice because you feel incapable of trusting your own judgment.
Looking back now, I realize that this moment was the beginning of the hardest and most important rebuilding process of my life. I had to relearn how to think clearly, how to trust my own decisions again, and how to rebuild my identity as a man, a father, and a person with purpose. None of that happened overnight, and much of what I learned came from painful mistakes that I would never want another man to repeat. That is one of the reasons I wrote Divorce for Men and why I now work with men who feel lost in the same fog I once lived in. If you are standing in that place right now—confused, overwhelmed, and wondering how everything fell apart—I want you to know that there is a path forward, and rebuilding your life is not only possible, it can become the strongest chapter of your story.
After I wrote the book, I started to speak with a lot of men who went through similar experiences. Some men seemed to get through things in a timely manner while others seemed to have got stuck along the way or still lost in that fog.
That's when I realized my PURPOSE. I created nine more books that gave men a blueprint. An actual path that could take them out of the dark fog and give them actual protocols to get back to a stronger person than they were even before their marriage. I then created a once in a lifetime membership specific for the exact thing you have gone through. Men need support from other men like iron sharpens iron.
It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out how to put this all together.
Lots of ups and downs.
But here’s the thing…
You don’t have to figure this out on your own, like I did.
And you don’t have to invest $1,000s on coach or therapist to unlock the self imposed cell that you've put yourself in. I created a blueprint and map that not only gives you all ten books as part of the curriculum, but video instructions and personal stories of how to apply every step along your own journey.
I’ll tell you what it’s all about. Keep reading for all the details right here on this page…
Just don’t get distracted and put this off, brother.
Because what you see on this page is the LOWEST RATE that will EVER exist for the Brotherhood.
(Less than the cost of a casual dinner with a friend.)
And you can get yourself GRANDFATHERED in now!
(Gentle warning: The price is going up when the timers hit zero on this page.)

If You Can Relate to ANY Image of These Statements…
Brother, I Made the FORGED MEN PROTOCOL, Specifically to Get YOU Started on Your Path to Get Out of the DARK FOG— with Your Very Own Blueprint and Map. Join a Brotherhood of Men Who Have Gone Through EXACTLY Where You Are Now!
You have had, what I like to call, The Epiphany. What I mean by that is that your divorce got you where you are, and it’s not looking good… but you know it’s not going to be like this forever—it's time to stop feeling numb and climb out of the fog. You will be given all the tools needed to make this happen.
You’re always tired. “Sorry, buddy, I just don't have the energy to come out and join you guys”... “Sorry, kid, I can’t come to your school play. I have a full day of work calls.”...reality is you can't get out of bed or off the couch because you're in a dark place.
You want to be FREE from the repeating negative Loops playing in your mind. One where you get to wake up in the morning and start your new protocol. Build new loop hacks that increase your energy and rebuild the man you were MEANT to be before you met her. Before you lost direction and before you ended up where you are today.
You love the idea of knowing that anytime you are lost, in the dark fog, you have a map to get out of that! You will not only climb out of the dark but will become the man you KNOW was already in you. You will begin building a TRUE Legacy that will be built for generations.
You are ready to start your new life and get back to the real you
Even if you aren’t quite sure how to go about doing it. (Don’t worry, I’ll cover all of that.)
You want to learn from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.
I've gone through DIVORCE twice and a BANKRUPTCY. I’ve helped divorced men from all over the world—in all sorts of stages of grief and dark places (some men had almost lost all hope!).

Twice Monthly FORGED MEN RISING Q+A Calls with Me
(Dean Ponak)
EVERY MONTH: Not 1… But, TWO—1-Hour
Membership Q&A Calls with Dean
These will NOT be your typical, boring, “not-relevant-to-me,” “the same stupid questions always get repeated” calls. Heck, no!
This is where the magic happens!
I’ll answer ANY question you’ve got, but you’ll also walk away with action steps that you need to take to get YOU closer to clearing the fog and getting the clarity and direction to take another step forward—THIS WEEK.
That’s why there are only 2 calls a month.
You show up to a call one week, and then you have the next week for taking action.
That way you can keep moving forward day by day, step by step, with clarity and control. Not stopping and starting. Not falling back into old patterns.
But building, reinforcing, and repeating the structure that keeps you grounded. Again and again. Until discipline becomes automatic...
Clarity becomes normal...
And you're no longer fighting to feel like yourself - you are yourself!
And if you hit resistance along the way, which you will, you won't face it alone.
Bring it into the Protocol, into the structure, into the brotherhood. Work through it with men who are walking the same path.

Here's how you know this system works...
Because it's built around what men actually strggle with, not theory.
Most men don't need more information.
They need structure. They need direction. They need a system that pulls them out of the fog and into control. And that's exacty what this Protocol is built to do.
We are going to consistently survey our community and make sure you have everything. If you need more clarity in a certain area, or things are not clear enough in a certain video, we will make sure to listen and make supplemental modules, videos or books that will HELP YOU get to where you need to be!
During this LIVE training, I will be asking YOU questions to make sure you have all the intel needed to BREAK THROUGH. This will be fluid and always moving.
This is where it's going to get REAL!!
BONUS #1
MY BLUEPRINT DESIGNED TO HELP YOU AT A GLANCE!
This is not just a visual—it’s the exact path you follow to rebuild yourself, step by step. Most men stay stuck because they don’t know what comes next. They try to fix everything at once, jump from one idea to another, and remain in the fog. This blueprint eliminates that. It gives you a clear direction so you stop guessing and start moving toward your purpose.
Inside The Forged Men Protocol, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. You follow the path in the right order—stabilizing your foundation, facing what needs to be faced, moving through the fog, rebuilding your body, strengthening your courage, and stepping into purpose. From there, you install the systems that keep you consistent and begin building a legacy you’re proud of. One step leads to the next, and that’s what creates real momentum.
You’re not lost—you’ve just been without a map. This blueprint is that map. It replaces confusion with structure, and drifting with direction. Follow the path, commit to the process, and you’ll begin to feel like yourself again—clear, disciplined, and in control of where your life is going.
BONUS #2
The Mind, Body & Spirit Framework (The Missing Piece Most Men Never Address)
Most programs focus on mindset or physical discipline—but almost all ignore the one area that determines whether you actually change or fall back into old patterns: your spirit. Inside The Forged Men Protocol, we don’t just work on mind and body—we build all three. Because without a spiritual foundation, discipline fades, clarity weakens, and men drift right back into the fog.
This is where most men fail—not from lack of effort, but from trying to rebuild their life without something strong enough to hold it together. That’s why we integrate biblical principles into the structure of this Protocol. Not in an overwhelming way—but in a grounded, practical way that strengthens you, steadies you, and gives you something solid to stand on when life gets hard.
When your spirit is aligned, everything else follows. Your mind becomes clearer. Your body becomes more disciplined. Your actions start to reflect the man you’re meant to be. This is the difference between temporary change—and becoming a man who actually stays changed.
BONUS #3
TEMPLATES, TEMPLATES, and MORE TEMPLATES
Everything you do in Forged Men Protocol needs to be recorded. That data will be used for you to look back and see your recorded changes and how you changed from DAY 1 to DAY90 and beyond!
All your protocols can be printed out. EVERYTHING you do should be recorded so that you can REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE.
You’ll be able to share these with someone that you are accountable to or perhaps down the road, someone will share it with you when you're helping them stay accountable!
You can create your own if that is what works for you!
Or you can use the templates and examples I am gifting you as a BONUS—for FREE!—when you join the Forged Men Protocol…

Let’s Be Honest…
The Fee to Join the Forged Men Protocol
Is a Drop in the Bucket
Compared to What You’re Gonna Get
Not only will the Forged Men Protocol rebuild your discipline, clarity, and direction…
It gives you a structured path back to control, in your mind, your body, and your life. This isn’t motivation that fades in a week. This is a system you follow. A standard you live by. A brotherhood that holds you accountable when you would normally fall off.
Within this structure, everything begins to compound. Your habits tighten. Your focus sharpens. Your energy returns. And as you move through the Protocol, from Foundation to Legacy, you stop reacting to life and start leading it with intention.
This is how men rebuild. Not through guesswork… but through a proven path, lived daily — until discipline becomes identity, and identity becomes legacy.
But really, the most important thing to think about here is this:
What would you give for the kind of peace of mind that most men never get back…
Waking up knowing you are in control again. Not guessing. Not drifting. Not stuck in the fog.
Knowing exactly what your day requires of you, and having the discipline to execute it without hesitation.
Not being ruled by your emotions, your past, or your circumstances. Not needing motivation just to get moving. Not feeling like you’re constantly starting over.
And on the days when life hits hard… when things don’t go your way… you don’t collapse. You don’t spiral. You stay grounded, steady, and clear on who you are and what you’re building.
You move with structure. You live with intention. You carry yourself like a man who knows his direction.
That kind of control… that kind of internal stability… is worth far more than $37 per month.
And here’s the reality. The moment you start applying the Protocol, you begin to feel the shift. This isn’t something that takes years to access. It starts the moment you step into the structure.
If you were to try to rebuild this on your own, it would cost you far more in time, mistakes, and lost years than this will ever cost you financially.
This is the most direct path back to the man you know you’re supposed to be.

Got Questions? Check This Out…
How long does it take to start seeing results inside Forged Men Protocol?
First, I recommend you stay in the community for as long as it’s valuable to you. (As in, you get more OUT of it than what you pay FOR it.)
When that’s not happening, you can cancel at any time. There are no contracts.
Want to cancel? Just email us at [email protected] to let us know at least 3 days before your next billing cycle, and you will never be charged again.
How long does it take to start seeing results inside Forged Men Protocol?
The truth is, this is not about waiting months or years to feel a change. Most men begin to feel a shift within the first few days of applying the structure. Clarity comes back quickly when you finally have a system to follow.
This is not a program where you sit and consume content endlessly. You step in, you apply, and you execute. The speed of your results comes down to your level of commitment, but the path itself is already laid out for you.
Some men start rebuilding momentum almost immediately. Others take a few weeks to fully lock into the routine. But either way, you are not guessing anymore. You are following a proven structure designed to move you from Foundation to Legacy.
The real question isn’t how long it takes. It’s how long you’re willing to stay where you are without a system like this.
What if I don’t feel like the Forged Men Protocol is for me?
Then you step away. There are no long-term contracts, no pressure, and no obligation to stay if it’s not the right fit for you.
But here’s the truth. This isn’t built on hype or empty promises. It’s built on structure, discipline, and real execution. If you are a man who wants clarity, accountability, and a clear path forward, you will feel that difference quickly.
Most men don’t leave because it “doesn’t work.” They leave because they’re not ready to live at a higher standard yet. And that’s something no program can force.
So you can try it without risk. Step in, apply the structure, and see what happens when you actually follow a system that works.
If you want to leave, NO PROBLEM. I still love you.
And you can simply cancel your membership at any time. No sweat.
Just email us at [email protected] to let us know at least 3 days before your next billing cycle, and you will never be charged again.
Why is the Forged Men Protocol so affordable?
Because this is not built as a one-time transaction. It’s built as a brotherhood and a system that grows over time.
Most programs charge high upfront prices because they rely on a single sale. This is different. The goal here is consistency, not hype. When men commit monthly, it creates stability not just for you, but for the entire structure of the Protocol.
It also removes the barrier that keeps most men stuck. You don’t need to spend thousands just to get access to a proven path. You just need to step in and start.
If you were to try and build this level of structure, accountability, and guidance on your own, it would cost you far more in time, mistakes, and lost years than this ever will financially.
This is not priced low because it lacks value. It’s priced this way so more men can actually commit to the process long enough to change.
I already have a councellor, coach or therapist; is this for me?
Most HELP fail for one reason. There’s no structure behind them. Content is scattered, engagement is inconsistent, and men drift in and out without real progress. It becomes another thing you manage instead of something that actually works.
The Forged Men Protocol is not just content. It’s a system. It shows you how to create structure, build accountability, and give men a clear path they can actually follow. If your current HELP isn’t producing consistent results for you or your managing instead of REBUILDING, this fills that gap.
Is starting something like this hard?
It’s hard if you don’t have structure. It’s confusing if you’re guessing. And it becomes overwhelming when you’re trying to piece everything together on your own.
But when there’s a clear system in place, it becomes simple. Not easy in the sense that you don’t have to show up… but simple in the sense that you know exactly what to do next.
The problem is not the effort. The problem is the lack of direction.
The Forged Men Protocol removes that. It gives you a path to follow, step by step, so you’re not wasting time, energy, or momentum trying to figure it out.
You still have to execute. But now you’re executing with clarity instead of confusion.

My Final Parting Words to You…
“Have You Met Ethan Crosswell?”
(It's My Pen Name!)
Why I Originally Wrote Under a Pen Name Ethan Crosswell, instead of Dean Ponak.
When I first wrote the FOR MEN series, I didn’t put my real name on it.
Not because I didn’t believe in the message… but because of what it required me to say.
Those books came from real experiences. Divorce. Failure. Loss. Rebuilding. They weren’t theories or ideas pulled from some make believe life. They were mine and a few of my close friends. And at the time, putting my name directly on that level of truth felt like exposing parts of my life most men keep buried.
So I chose a pen name… Ethan Crosswell.
It gave me the space to speak honestly, without filtering the message. To say what needed to be said without worrying about perception, judgment, or how it might impact other areas of my life and business.
But something changed.
As the books reached more men… as the messages started to land… I realized something important. The very thing I was holding back—my identity—was the thing that gave the work its weight.
Men don’t follow perfect stories. They follow real ones.
That’s why today, I stand behind this work under my real name.
Because this is not just content to me. It’s lived. It’s tested. And it’s exactly what I would have needed when I was at my lowest point.
And if I expect other men to step forward and rebuild their lives with honesty and discipline… then I have to lead that way first.
This is the book that started it all. Just to give you an idea of how the book alone has impacted men, read some of the testimonies below. These can all be verified on Amazon.com!
“Exactly what I needed.”
“This book was exactly what I needed… real advice from someone who went through it. No sugarcoating the pain—just clear direction on how to rebuild.”
— Cody Smith
“A perfect reference during the hardest time.”
“My son is going through a nasty divorce. This book has been PERFECT for him.”
— Verified Purchase
“Straightforward, practical, and powerful.”
“It genuinely addresses the psychological and emotional challenges men face after divorce. The step-by-step techniques help rebuild confidence, purpose, and identity.”
— Jeffery Roberson
“Like my future self speaking to me.”
“So much of this felt like my recovered self talking to me. No matter where you are in divorce, you’ll find frameworks that move you forward.”
— Craig
“A roadmap out of the darkness.”
“This book guides you from the raw pain of loss to renewed hope and purpose. A powerful workbook for men who want to rebuild and thrive.”
— Vasu A.
“A must-read for men rebuilding their lives.”
“It doesn’t just tell you to move on—it gives you real, actionable steps to take control and build a life worth living.”
— Gene J. Finz
Bottom Line
This isn’t just a book men read.
It’s a book they use… when they’re at their lowest… to rebuild into the man they’re meant to become.
