After moving to Ottawa, I struggled to rebuild the circle I’d had elsewhere. The Foundry is changing that. It gives men permission to stop performing, be vulnerable, and find real community.
What is the Foundry?
This isn’t a coaching program.
It’s not a mastermind. It’s not a place to pretend. It’s not a place to posture.
This is a forge.
A place where men who have built it all — the revenue, the team, the success story — come to rebuild the parts of themselves they left behind.
We’re not here to play the game harder. We’re here to stop playing the wrong one.
We’re fighting against burnout masked as ambition. Silence disguised as strength. Loneliness hiding behind leadership. Success that looks good in photos but feels hollow as hell in real life.
We’re done pretending.
We’re fighting for marriages that matter. For fatherhood that’s present. For leadership that’s whole. For health — physical, emotional, spiritual — that doesn’t get sacrificed on the altar of hustle.
We’re fighting for you — the man under the mask, behind the title, beneath the pressure.
If you’ve achieved everything you were supposed to, and still feel like something’s missing…
You’re not alone. You’re in the right place.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to stop pretending you’re fine.
Welcome to the brotherhood.
The Foundry. Where men go to rebuild.
The Foundry is the real deal. It shows we are not alone. That most, if not all, men feel this way… but suffer in silence. Here, there is real accountability.
Eric Deschamps, Master Coach
Founder and Host of the Living Richly Podcast
Eric created The Foundry as a brotherhood for men who are successful on paper but still hungry for more—real connection, real growth, and a life that actually fits.
As CEO of Rhapsody Strategies, he coaches business leaders to build successful companies and create lives they’re proud of. He also co-hosts the Living Richly Podcast, a show where straight talk and hard-earned wisdom spark honest conversations about what it takes to thrive in business and in life.
Eric’s work is rooted in his own journey. For years, he battled burnout, shame, and the weight of pretending everything was fine while his personal life was falling apart. That struggle – and the hard work of healing – ignited his passion to create safe spaces where men can be real, face their demons, and rebuild stronger.
The Foundry was born from that conviction: that no man should have to carry success and struggle alone. Here, men can drop the mask, step into the fire, and come out refined.
