Are you part of a “men’s group”? 

---

Last year my friend Ram introduced me to [Sharad](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharaddaswani/?ref=pulpconversations.com) who 11 years ago created [Brown Papas Unite - BPU](https://linktr.ee/brownpapasunite?ref=pulpconversations.com) . Since then he has grown his digital-first men’s group to \~1,200 [Indian men across the USA](https://i.postimg.cc/90bVjSXC/pulp-indian-men.png?ref=pulpconversations.com). I joined last Fall and was instantly welcomed to the community, which connects on a variety of topics from college admissions, aging parents, food & recipes, stocks & investments, and baller travel itineraries around the world. I don’t know for sure but I think the age range of members is between 30 - 70 years old. It’s an amazing luxury to tap into so much wisdom in an instant.

Within the past months because of this group / outlet / support system I’ve been able to ~~shit-post to my heart’s content~~, invest in a [land banking deal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinod-nagi-009a336/?ref=pulpconversations.com) (wtf is that right?), compare notes on startups, learn about new dining spots in NYC, save $700 on my home insurance, get a recco for the best pizza dough and much more ….

Most importantly - it feels great to be part of a community that is interested in propelling not competing with one another.

Regardless of whether you identify as: ♂ ♀ ⚧ ⚨ ⚪ it’s important for all of us to be part of a community that allows us to interact without fear of judgement or shame.

If this resonates with you give it a try.
