Crafting Empowered Fathers who can Overcome Life's Challenges:
Forging Strength, Resilience, and Purpose through Fire and Brotherhood.
In the hustle of providing and achieving, many fathers wear a mask of strength while struggling silently with feelings of overwhelm, stress, and disconnection. You may find yourself saying:
“I’m juggling too much. I’m tired of barely holding it together.”
“I feel pressure nonstop, and I have no outlet.”
“I keep screwing up. Nothing I try seems to work.”
“I’m drifting from my family. I don’t even recognize myself.”
“No one understands what I’m dealing with.”
You’re not alone. At The Life Forge, we understand these struggles and offer a structured transformational process and a supportive brotherhood to help you navigate them.
JOIN US if you're tired of the silence and ready to embrace genuine support. We are ready to guide you through life's pressures, unlock your potential, and forge a clear and rewarding path forward.

THE LIFE FORGE MISSION
My name is Mykal Olson.
My mission is to empower young men and fathers to forge brilliant futures and relationships, free from the destructive patterns and behaviors that threaten their lives and families.
"I want to stop destroying my life and family, but I just don't know how!"
These were the words I repeated in my mind, struggling to find a solution until it was too late. My destructive habits shattered my life, career, and most importantly, my family.
I found myself in a place with little hope for the future. At 53, I had to rebuild my life from scratch, still searching for answers to overcome the challenges I faced while being jobless and homeless. But I was determined to find a solution and help young men and fathers learn it before they wreck their lives and families. I spent years searching for answers and studying methods, culminating in a process I call "The Forge."
You want to stop the cycle of destruction and build a life of purpose and connection. I am here to guide you on this journey. I know I can help you because I have walked this path myself, creating a successful new life and rebuilding relationships with those who matter most.

"DON'T SUFFER ALONE!"
From Isolation to Brotherhood:
A Father’s Path to Addiction Awareness,
Shattering Misconceptions, and Building Strong Relationships
There was a time...
There was a time I believed I had to white-knuckle my way through life. That real men handled their pain in silence, and asking for help was a sign of weakness. I wore the mask of strength while my world slowly crumbled from the inside out—addiction, broken trust, and a soul that had forgotten how to feel anything but shame.
Maybe you’ve felt the same: the weight of trying to carry it all, being everything for everyone, and still feeling like you’re not enough. Maybe you’ve isolated yourself, thinking no one could understand the chaos inside your mind. Perhaps you’ve even convinced yourself you’re beyond saving.
You're not!
"The fire that threatens to consume you
can also be the force that forges your strength
if you choose to stand in it and bend it to your will."
— Mykal Olson, Life Forge Principles.
Inside the pages of this ebook, I’ll share parts of my story and the tools that helped me rebuild sobriety and purpose. You’ll learn about The Life Forge, my 9-step process men use to reclaim their lives and the programs that will help you navigate this transformation. But more importantly, you’ll be reminded of this truth:
You don't have to do this alone.
Whether you’re just waking up to the possibility of addiction or years into the struggle, there is still hope, there is still strength in you, and there is a brotherhood waiting to walk beside you.
Welcome to the first step!

LIFE FORGE ACADEMY:
A Hero’s Path from Pressure to Purpose
Four Phases to Rebuild the Man Within
"Shape the Man. Forge the Future."
What Is Life Forge Academy?
You’re not falling apart—but you feel it.
The pressure’s constant. You’re holding it together on the outside, but something’s missing inside. Your energy’s drained, your relationships strained, your dreams put on hold.
This is the place where that changes.
Life Forge Academy is a four-phase transformation designed for men who are ready to reclaim their strength, rebuild their integrity, and rise with purpose. Forged in fire, purpose, and brotherhood—and inspired by the mythic hero’s journey—you won’t just fix your habits. You’ll forge a new way of being.
Each course strengthens a dimension of your identity—mind, heart, hands, and spirit—so the man you become reflects the strength that’s been buried, not broken. A Transformation Process Forged in Fire, Purpose, and Brotherhood

One-to-One Personal Coaching with Mykal
Transform Your Life with Personalized Coaching and Accountability
Forge the Man. Shape the Future!
You’re not broken—you’re wounded. Or maybe you’re just lost. But you are not beyond repair.
You’re a man others rely on. You push through the stress, hide the shame, and tell yourself, “I’ll figure it out.”
But late at night—when no one’s watching—you feel it. The cracks. The detachment. The damage growing in silence.
You don’t have to call it addiction for it to be a problem. You just have to be honest enough to admit that something’s not working—and courageous enough to do something about it.
This is where we begin to Rise!
This Is Not a Program. It's a Process. This Is a Forge.
This is a 12-month personal transformation process, designed for fathers and men ready to reclaim their strength, rebuild what’s been lost, and reshape their identity from the inside out.
Together, we walk through the nine core steps of the Forge Transformation Process—one per month—so that each truth becomes more than information: it becomes lived, integrated, and unshakable.
And for three months after our final session, you’ll have direct email access for continued clarity, encouragement, and support as you move forward.
What You’ll Experience:
Bi-weekly private sessions (90 minutes each) to uncover, confront, and reforge your beliefs, patterns, and identity
Step-by-step integration of the nine transformational principles that anchor The Life Forge method
Tailored coaching based on your life story and current challenges—no fluff, no generic advice
Email access between sessions to keep you on track
Post-program email support for three full months after the coaching ends
Financing options available to make this process accessible and sustainable
Why Nine Months?
Because change doesn’t happen in a weekend. It takes time to heat, hammer, and temper steel.
Each of the nine months focuses on a distinct step of the Forge Process—a symbolic and strategic transformation through mind (Head), heart (Heart), will (Hands), and purpose (Spirit). These steps are the same ones taught inside Life Forge Academy, but in private coaching, we tailor the heat to your exact metal.
This is a one-man forge—you are the blacksmith and the project. You’re not signing up for inspiration. You’re stepping into transformation.
What Makes This Different?
It’s not just mindset. It’s not just strategy. It’s a complete rework of how you see yourself, your struggle, and your story. And you won’t do it alone.
I'm Your Partner and Your Guide:
Decades of leadership experience in business and life—and a fall from grace that taught me the hard truths
Certifications as a Life & Success Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist
Deep personal insight into addiction, identity loss, and rebuilding as a father and man
The Investment:
This life-changing coaching experience is offered at $9997 for the full comprehensive 12-month program. Don't let the price deter you; I offer flexible financing options to make this investment achievable for you. Reflect on the potential losses in income and life opportunities due to unresolved addiction issues — I would have gladly paid this price to avoid the over $500,000 in personal losses I endured. This program is an investment in your future success and well-being.

FAQS
Frequent Questions We Hear
What is coaching, and how does it work?
Life coaching is a dynamic and collaborative process focused on helping individuals identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. It involves a series of one-on-one sessions with a trained life coach who provides guidance, support, and accountability. Coaches use a variety of techniques and tools to help clients gain clarity, set actionable goals, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. The coaching process is highly personalized, tailored to each individual's unique needs and aspirations, and it empowers clients to make positive changes in their lives.
How long does a typical coaching engagement last?
The duration of a coaching engagement is entirely up to you! Some clients find value in a few sessions focused on very specific issues or challenges, while others may engage in longer-term coaching to achieve more substantial personal or professional transformations. Since my coaching services are predominantly focused on long-term, lifetime lasting personal transformations, I have created offers based on a nine-month to one-year coaching relationship. However, these programs are not time based; they are based on goals and outcomes in four phases. Therefore, you might complete the goals earlier if you work on the exercises with passion and effort.
What makes "The Life Forge Academy" different from other recovery programs?
The Life Forge Academy" is uniquely designed for young men and fathers who have completed medical detoxification and are ready to identify and conquer the "true" cause of addiction. Our program not only focuses on recovery but also emphasizes personal growth, life skills, and success strategies. Unlike 12-step programs, rehabilitation facilities, and therapy, our goal is to take you beyond sobriety and guide you all the way to success and fulfillment. Through our proprietary "Forge" process, participants are guided through a structured, four-phase journey that fosters true transformation, empowers them to build strong relationships, and equips them with tools to succeed in all aspects of life.
Can I join "The Blacksmith Brotherhood" if I haven't completed the full four-phase program?
Absolutely! The Blacksmith Brotherhood is the community we designed to support your transformation so that you will have a much greater chance of success. However, we don't recommend that you try to Do It Yourself by relying on the other members of the community. The benefit of having structured one-on-one coaching and accountability will always have much better success.
What are the financing options available for the high-ticket coaching program?
We understand that investing in your future is a significant decision, especially if you are struggling financially as a result of addiction. That is why we have structured our program into four phases which can be billed and paid separately with the earlier phases being priced at lower rates to make it easier to get started. However, there is another option that might make it even more affordable for you. If you know that you want to experience the full benefit of the coaching program outcomes, we offer flexible financing options so that you can choose find one that suits your financial situation. Our goal is to ensure that anyone committed to a complete and lasting transformation can take advantage of our individualized coaching without financial barriers. Please contact us for detailed information on the available financing plans.
