Angel Be Love's passion for brotherhood forms the cornerstone of his transformative work, rooted in his own journey of self-discovery and personal growth. This story of brotherhood began long before Angel adopted his current moniker, back when he was known simply as Nigel Benjamin, a successful advertising executive living a life that looked perfect on paper but felt hollow within.

The turning point came during a particularly stressful period in Nigel's corporate career. Overwhelmed by the pressures of his job and struggling with the emotional weight of it all, he found himself unable to express his feelings or seek support. It was then that he realized how ill-equipped he and many other men were in dealing with their emotions and forming genuine connections with other men.

This realization sparked a quest that would ultimately transform Nigel into Angel Be Love. He began seeking out men's groups and workshops, initially feeling awkward and out of place. But as he continued to show up and open up, he experienced profound shifts. For the first time, he felt truly seen and heard by other men, without judgment or competition.

These experiences of vulnerability and authentic connection with other men became the catalyst for Angel's new life mission. He recognized that many men, like his former self, were trapped in societal expectations of masculinity that discouraged emotional expression and deep friendships with other men. He saw how this emotional isolation was affecting not just individual men, but their relationships, families, and society at large.

Driven by this insight, Angel began to create spaces for men to come together, share their struggles, and support each other. He developed workshops and retreats specifically designed to foster brotherhood, emotional intelligence, and authentic communication among men. His "New HE-Man" workshops became particularly popular, helping men reconnect with their emotions and redefine what it means to be a Healthy Expressed man in today's world.

Angel's approach to brotherhood goes beyond just bringing men together. He incorporates elements of various wisdom traditions, including tantra and stoicism, to help men develop a more holistic and conscious approach to masculinity. His "21-Day HE-volved Man Challenge" exemplifies this, guiding men through daily practices that combine physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.

As his work evolved, Angel realized that strong brotherhoods had a ripple effect, positively impacting men's relationships with their partners, children, and communities. This led him to expand his focus to include fatherhood facilitation and relationship coaching, always keeping the foundation of brotherhood at the core.

Today, Angel Be Love's passion for brotherhood continues to drive his work. Whether he's leading a men's retreat in Bali, facilitating an online "Empowering Fathers" cohort, or mentoring individuals, he always emphasizes the importance of men supporting and uplifting each other. He often says, "A rising tide lifts all boats," believing that as men heal and grow together, they create a more compassionate and conscious world for everyone.

Through his unwavering commitment to fostering brotherhood, Angel Be Love has not only transformed his own life but has become a beacon of hope and change for countless men seeking deeper connections, emotional freedom, and a more fulfilling way of being in the world.
