Momentum was built for you. Not the perfect version of you. The current version. You don’t need to be ready. You just need you to be willing.

Your journey with us

No guru seminars. No solo self-help rabbit holes. Just a structured, expert-backed program with weekly coaching that builds real momentum in your daily life.

Match with a team & coach

You’ll join a virtual pod of 8-10 guys in a similar situation. These are your teammates. Your accountability. Your new crew that'll be guided by an expert coach.

Meet weekly + daily check-ins

Join your pod in mindset workshops, critical thinking discussions, skill-building sessions, & more. This isn’t therapy, it’s training camp for life.

Learn, grow, thrive

You’ll start seeing change in your habits, your energy, your direction. And by month six, you won’t recognize the guy you used to be.

Why Momentum works
when nothing else does.

A personal growth system

For Men Who Feel Stuck

This isn’t generic self-help. Momentum is built specifically for late teens and 20-somethings who want to take control of their life, but could use some structure, support, and a proven roadmap to get there.

Science-Backed Curriculum

Our program combines real-world coaching with a curriculum shaped by leaders in psychology, behavior change, physical health, and career development. Everything you learn is grounded in research and built to last.

Team Accountability

You’ll join a live session 1x/week and collaborate with your pod via group-chat every day. That regular connection, real conversations, shared challenges, and group accountability, is what keeps you on track and growing.

Skills & Career Focused

Momentum helps you explore different career paths, choose the one that fits you, and then build the hard skills to pursue it with focus and intensity. This isn't your average men's group, we're here to help you win in all aspects of life.

Practical, Not Therapy

We’re not here to diagnose or dwell on your past. But we do use the best tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, goal-setting research, and motivational science to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I hoped he’d find something that clicked, and now he’s the one reminding me when his pod meets. Clear structure, likeminded friends, and a coach he looks up to have super charged his routine. He’s energized, self-driven, and we’re cheering him on every step.

Absolutely shocked by how fast he made friends online. He was hanging out in video calls with other Momentum guys after the first few weeks. Now we're seeing that confidence transfer into the real-world. He's trying rec sports and making friends. Now we just hope he starts dating soon!

We tried therapy and 1-on-1 coaching before finding Momentum and we're so glad we gave it a try. The quality of coach made a huge difference. Coach Tom is absolutely incredible and its clear our son loves the group format. The progress has been undeniable and we've started referring other families. Thank you Tom & Momentum!

Before Momentum I couldn't get our son to stick to anything. He'd try things and then abandon quickly. Momentum got him to pick real goals, break them into steps, and finally stick to things. It's clear the coaches care, they've involved us at every step of the process and I couldn't be happier with the progress I'm seeing!

Meet your coaches

Men who built meaningful lives not by accident, but by habit. They’re here to show you how.

Tom Bresnahan, 59

Momentum Co-Founder & Lead Coach
Tom Bresnahan knows “stuck” firsthand. In his 20s, a Hollywood dream hid anxiety, addiction, and drift—until a mentor’s blend of structure and care set him straight. When his younger brother later spiraled, Tom used the same trauma-informed coaching, daily accountability, and lifestyle fixes—and watched a rapid turnaround.

That win grew into a decade-long practice, guiding hundreds of families toward firm boundaries, united parenting, and self-driven sons.

Now, as Momentum’s Co-Founder & Lead Coach, Tom is scaling his proven system so families get help sooner. Backed by 15 years in recovery counseling and family-systems work, he offers more than advice: Momentum delivers the structure, brotherhood, and measured push that turns potential into real-world momentum.

Alex Milligan, 31

Momentum Founder & Coach
The idea for Momentum comes from my younger brother’s struggle. Despite being smart and kind, he spiraled after high school, stuck in low-wage jobs, socially withdrawn, and battling depression and bad habits. My family tried everything, but nothing seemed to stick.

What he needed wasn’t more advice. It was structure, accountability, and a group of peers to grow with. Over time, he found his way, but it was a slow, painful, and lonely process. His story isn’t rare.

I started Momentum to build the program he, and so many others, never had. We’re here to help young men rebuild not just their habits, but their belief in who they can become.

Dr. Jeff Chen, 36

Coach & CEO at Radicle Science
I’ve spent most of my adult life building things that didn’t exist yet, and I’ve learned firsthand how messy, uncertain, and meaningful building anything real can be.

What no one tells you is that doing hard things never really gets easier, you just get better at doing them. It’s a skill like anything else. You learn to keep showing up and to move forward even when motivation fades.

That’s why I coach. love helping young men find clarity, build conviction, and realize they’re capable of more than they’ve been led to believe. To do the work is hard. But so is staying stuck. And one of those actually leads somewhere.

What's the curriculum like?

Building Foundations

We set the stage for transformation around mindset, health, planning, and peer trust:

  • “Truth Inventory” Workshop: a guided, written audit of habits, emotions, finances, and family stressors
  • Family Sync Session: a huddle with you, your coach, and your parents so everyone’s on the same page and backing the goals you want to hit. No mixed signals, just clear support.
  • Learn how to set goals and track progress against them
  • Establish healthy fitness, diet, and sleep habits
  • Accept ownership of responsibility and adopt a growth mindset
  • Build trust, accountability, and encouragement within your peer group
  • Begin exploring career paths and technical skills

Learn Accountability and Skills

This phase deepens accountability, widens skill exposure, and begins inner-work:

  • Identify unprocessed events driving self-sabotage and learn CBT & mindfulness tools
  • Maintain & refine fitness, diet, sleep habits
  • Explore career paths through informational interviews and career discovery exercises
  • Begin developing technical and professional skills (with emphasis on integrating AI-tools) tailored to your interests
  • Continue with mindset and values education, focusing on developing grit and resilience

Real-World Application

We move from practice to performance, stressing career readiness and real-life responsibility:

  • Career-Launch Projects: résumé refresh, mock interviews, networking challenges, entrepreneurial side-projects
  • Shadow & Serve: volunteer/service or job shadowing to inject higher-stakes responsibility
  • Vice de-escalation through structured reduction (or taper) of vaping, alcohol, porn/gaming, etc.
  • Refine fitness & mental-health routines to sustain peak performance under load
  • Weekly relational-skills challenges to boost confidence and social fluency

Launch and Thrive

Finally, we cement lasting change, helping you prepare for independence while celebrating your progress. You'll:

  • Capstone Independence Plan: finalize career/education track, housing/budget, and habit-maintenance schedule
  • 360° Growth Review: student, parents, and peers complete a structured evaluation comparing Month 1 → Month 7
  • Create your plan to maintain habits and achieve long-term success
  • Cement your initiation into independence, culminating in a team excursion and celebration
  • Achieve agency and clarity to transition into a life of purpose

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal growth accelerator?

It’s a structured, online experience (with real world application and daily accountability) that delivers deep behavioral change across health, mindset, habits, and career. It’s not a one-off program, it’s a path to a new life.

Who is Momentum for?

Momentum is designed for young men (16-30) who are struggling to transition into adulthood, whether that’s due to low motivation, social isolation, lack of confidence, career stagnation, unhealthy habits, or related issues. It’s for those who are capable but stuck, struggling to take responsibility, build discipline, and move forward in life. It’s also for families who have tried everything and want a structured, proven solution that actually works.

How is momentum different than other men’s groups?

Momentum isn’t just a men’s group, it’s a structured, expert-designed growth system that blends live coaching, skill-building, and accountability into a transformative experience. Unlike other solutions, Momentum is: group-oriented, high frequency, and long-duration (not just an occasional meet-up), led by accomplished, well-paid coaches (not just peers offering advice), backed by behavioral science and career development principles (not just vague self-improvement ideas), and focused on real-world growth in health, career, and relationships (not just emotional support or generic “men’s coaching”). Beyond structure, every student's experience is personalized. Coaches work one-on-one to tailor goals, adjust the curriculum, and ensure each young man is challenged in ways that fit his unique strengths and struggles.

Are Momentum programs offered online or in person?

Momentum operates on a digital-first model: you join small, live video groups each week for face-to-face coaching and peer support, track your goals and daily habits inside our private group chat where teammates can see and nudge your progress, and tackle real-world missions that you report back on at the next session. Optional meet-ups and weekend intensives still happen, but the heart of the program is fully online, built to integrate seamlessly with your everyday life rather than pull you out of it.

Is Momentum therapy?

No, Momentum is not therapy, but it does integrate proven therapeutic practices, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, that help students reshape negative thought patterns and take control of their actions. While traditional therapy often focuses on analyzing the past, Momentum is about moving forward, building habits, and developing real-world skills. Our coaches don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, but they do help members cultivate healthy mindsets, emotional resilience, and personal responsibility, all of which are essential for breaking out of stagnation and creating lasting change. That said, for members who do need therapy, Momentum can complement it by reinforcing action-oriented growth.

How involved in the program am I as a parent?

Parents are partners from the sidelines, not on the field every play. You’ll take part in an initial “Family Sync” call to set a united front and agree on house guidelines, then receive short check-ins, mini-trainings, and progress snapshots so you can reinforce boundaries at home without slipping back into rescue mode. We ask you to model the same calm communication and follow-through your son is practicing, but the day-to-day reps are his. Your job is to provide steady structure, encouragement, and a clear mirror, not to micromanage.

Who are the Momentum coaches?

Momentum coaches are high-achieving professionals with proven career success and strong personal values. Unlike other programs that hire underpaid, inexperienced coaches, ours are carefully selected for both expertise and character. Each coach undergoes rigorous training to teach the Momentum curriculum while also bringing their own life experience and wisdom to the coaching process. Their role is not just to instruct, but to challenge, support, and inspire members to take full ownership of their lives.

What cities does Momentum currently serve?

Momentum is available to young men across the U.S. and Canada. We try to match you with teammates who live in or near your city so you can chase goals together offline, and we host optional weekend retreats and pop-up meet-ups in major hubs throughout the year.
