What does it take to raise strong, confident men?
Joel Gandara has spent years building The Brotherhood — a movement where men learn to lead themselves, their families, and their communities with strength, discipline, and integrity.
But Joel’s journey started far from any boardroom or retreat. At just five years old, he was on a crowded boat fleeing Cuba during the 1980 Mariel boatlift — a terrifying, life-defining experience that shaped the man he would become. From those early moments of survival to growing up in poverty in California, Joel’s story is a masterclass in resilience.
