About this Retreat
Ian Williams | Founder, Good Men Helping Good Men
Ian is the heart behind Good Men Helping Good Men. He’s a man who has walked through chaos, asked the deeper questions, and committed himself to the real inner work. As the founder and lead facilitator of GMHGM, his mission is simple yet powerful: to create spaces where men can drop the mask, speak their truth, and reconnect with who they really are.
Ian isn’t here to preach from a pedestal. He’s here to serve, to listen, and to challenge others with honesty and care. This work isn’t just theory to him, it’s personal. He’s lived it, continues to live it, and holds a deep belief that brotherhood, ownership and authentic connection are the keys to a fulfilling life.
Jack Costello | Coach & Breathwork Facilitator, Unpack with Jack
Jack is the founder of Unpack with Jack, a space for high-achieving men to reconnect with their truth, emotional depth, and inner freedom. He’s not just trained in personal development, he’s lived it. From navigating grief, burnout, and the pressure to perform, Jack knows firsthand what it’s like to look successful on the outside while feeling lost on the inside.
His work is rooted in lived experience, not just learned theory. Whether through coaching, breathwork, or group facilitation, Jack creates spaces where men can slow down, drop the mask, and remember who they are beneath the noise. He meets others with honesty, depth, and respect, guiding them back to purpose, presence, and self-worth - not through pressure, but through permission.
