New York, NY – Action Cultivates Excellence (A.C.E.), the innovative men’s personal development company co-founded by Sean Degnan and Dave Reggina, is set to launch their second Men’s Personal Development Summit this fall in Upstate New York. Scheduled for November 1-3, 2024, in Hancock, NY, this highly anticipated event is designed to bridge the gap between masculinity and vulnerability through a series of action-packed workshops, surprise guest speakers, and deep-dive breakout sessions.
A.C.E. stands out as an organization in the realm of men’s personal development, addressing critical aspects of mental health, career and professional development, leadership training, and wellness tactics. Unlike other programs that offer superficial advice or temporary solutions, A.C.E. provides a comprehensive approach that empowers men to make lasting changes in their lives. The company’s unique methodology is built on three foundational pillars: Expert Led Trainings (ELTs), Outdoor Resilience Training (ORTs), and Vulnerability Breakthrough Development (VBDs). These components work together to create a robust and transformative development platform that challenges men to explore their weaknesses, grow, and ultimately thrive.
The upcoming retreat promises to offer participants an unparalleled transformative experience. Through a combination of physical activities, introspective sessions, and expert-led discussions, attendees will have the opportunity to confront uncomfortable topics, gain valuable insights, and build resilience. The goal is to foster strong, well-rounded men who can navigate the complexities of modern life with confidence and purpose. Past Summit speakers include 4x World Series Champion Joe Girardi, International Tedx Speaker Diamandia Lingos, and serial entrepreneur Vincent Micelli.
Co-founders Sean Degnan and Dave Reggina bring a wealth of experience and a personal commitment to their mission. Both men live the principles they teach, embodying the values of authenticity and vulnerability in their daily lives. Their leadership and dedication have shaped A.C.E. into a first-of-its-kind organization that does more than just offer content; it provides a supportive community and actionable strategies for personal growth. Their hands-on approach and commitment to walking the talk ensure that participants receive guidance grounded in real-life experiences and tested methodologies.
In addition to the bi-annual summit, A.C.E. hosts monthly workshops that further support their mission. These include the Men’s Personal Development Dinner and the Co-Ed Cold Plunge, Workout, and Networking Brunch. Both events are held at The Sailhouse Restaurant in Tarrytown, NY, where Degnan also serves as managing partner. These gatherings offer a more intimate setting for men and women to engage in meaningful discussions, build connections, and participate in wellness activities.
The Men’s Personal Development Dinner provides a space for men to share experiences, discuss challenges, and learn from each other in a supportive environment. This event encourages open dialogue and the sharing of personal stories, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Attendees leave with new perspectives, practical advice, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The Co-Ed Cold Plunge, Workout, and Networking Brunch, on the other hand, combines physical fitness with social networking, encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zones and build resilience. This unique event starts with a cold plunge that tests mental toughness and resilience followed by a rigorous workout session designed to push physical limits. The morning concludes with a networking brunch, providing an opportunity for participants to connect, share experiences, and build professional and personal networks.
A.C.E.’s innovative approach to men’s personal development has garnered attention and respect within the wellness community. The success of Reggina’s podcast, “The No Snooze Podcast” has been a complimentary growth trajectory of both companies over the last year. By addressing the often-overlooked intersection of masculinity and vulnerability, Degnan and Reggina have created a program that resonates deeply with men seeking to improve their lives. Their retreats and workshops are not just events; they are life-changing experiences that equip men with the tools and support they need to succeed.
The feedback from past participants highlights the profound impact of A.C.E.’s programs. Attendees report increased self-awareness, improved mental health, enhanced leadership skills, and stronger personal and professional relationships. These underscore the effectiveness of A.C.E.’s unique approach and the dedication of its founders.
