Adam Thorne

M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling · Men’s coach

For nine years I’ve sat in rooms with men: men’s groups, retreats, late-night conversations after the official part was over. The same thing comes up every time. The men who look like they have it handled are often the loneliest people in the room.

I’ve been a stand-up comic, a podcast host and a radio host, and I trained as a clinical mental health counselor. Forge is what I built from all of it: practical coaching for men who are building something, and a tribe so they don’t have to build it alone.

This is coaching, not therapy. We work on what’s in front of you: your habits, your decisions, your relationships and what you’re building next.

The long arc

01

2016

The room

Started co-facilitating men’s groups and retreats. Nine years later, I’m still in those rooms, where men finally say what they don’t say anywhere else.

02

2016–2020

The stage

Stand-up comedy in Los Angeles. It taught me to stay steady under pressure and to say hard things in a way people can actually hear.

03

2017–2025

The mic and the training

Years of long-form podcast conversations, a mental health radio show, and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling.

04

Now

Forge

A room for men who are building something: coaching, a tribe that meets in person, and trips worth taking.
