MENPROVEMENT,<br />
A <strong>Hub</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>Improve</strong> <strong>Men's</strong> <strong>Lives</strong>.<br />
Building<br />
a better<br />
man might<br />
sound like every woman's dream<br />
job, but for an innovative and highly<br />
intuitive entrepreneur, the seemingly<br />
divine out-of-this-world concept<br />
became his calling. From a simple<br />
yet highly marketable idea was born<br />
<strong>Menprovement</strong>. The brainchild<br />
behind the popular self-development<br />
website aimed solely at men was<br />
Sean Russell.<br />
In 2013, he founded the site with<br />
the intention of creating a hub for<br />
men of all ages, nationalities, and<br />
socio-economic status <strong>to</strong> converge<br />
<strong>to</strong> find information that spoke <strong>to</strong><br />
them on their level and helped them<br />
<strong>to</strong> improve their lives, and hopefully,<br />
improve their relationships. Anything<br />
from dating advice <strong>to</strong> fashion advice,<br />
diet and exercise tips, <strong>to</strong> anything<br />
and everything in between and<br />
beyond that appeals <strong>to</strong> men and<br />
their issues, problems, or areas of<br />
interest that speak <strong>to</strong> them and<br />
where they are in life or where<br />
they want <strong>to</strong> be in life is thoroughly<br />
evaluated, discussed, and vetted<br />
by experts and laymen alike. That<br />
information is shared via their<br />
community, and their concepts have<br />
been incorporated in<strong>to</strong> countless<br />
lives for the betterment of all who<br />
follow the advice, practices, or<br />
techniques. While not strictly a<br />
health website, it is a place where<br />
men can come <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> find ways<br />
<strong>to</strong> improve their health and wellness,<br />
while also learning new ways of<br />
thinking or doing any number of<br />
things from how <strong>to</strong> properly ask a<br />
woman out on a date, <strong>to</strong> how not <strong>to</strong><br />
leave a bad impression, <strong>to</strong> what kind<br />
of exercises <strong>to</strong> do <strong>to</strong> increase your<br />
stamina, and so much more.<br />
Since its first "print," it has quickly<br />
transformed in<strong>to</strong> a one-s<strong>to</strong>p shop<br />
for highly reliable and relatable<br />
information that its growing<br />
readership and devoted fans can<br />
turn <strong>to</strong> when they have a question<br />
or are looking for new ways of<br />
doing things. Since its inception,<br />
it has become far more than just<br />
an information sharing site. It has<br />
morphed in<strong>to</strong> an ever-growing<br />
community with legions of fans<br />
eagerly following them every step of<br />
the way.<br />
As the world becomes more<br />
connected via multiple social<br />
media channels and mediums, Sean<br />
and <strong>Menprovement</strong>'s CEO, Artur<br />
Kot has taken their messages of<br />
empowerment and positive change<br />
<strong>to</strong> the "airwaves." In addition <strong>to</strong> their<br />
website, they now host a podcast<br />
where they showcase even more<br />
expertise and knowledge. You can<br />

<strong>Menprovement</strong> is known for with<br />
the added benefit of hearing directly<br />
from the experts themselves. This<br />
interactive platform allows for<br />
questions from their listeners in<br />
real-time. It has proven <strong>to</strong> be a great<br />
way <strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> get their message<br />
out <strong>to</strong> the masses via a medium<br />
that their fans are comfortable with,<br />
minus the hassles.<br />
