Before working with Lantz Howard, I struggled with a half hearted approach to life and leadership. I thought that I was operating in a wholehearted way, but began to realize quickly that I was telling myself one thing and living another.
During coaching, I discovered that the first step to wholehearted living is radical honesty. Confronting the real man in the mirror with my wife and other leaders became the path to freedom and wholehearted living – something I had not experienced in years.
Now, I can step into each day with a strong desire and understanding of how to live from my true identity, to confront the man in the mirror, and invite others into my life with honesty to empower me to grow, dream, and live with passion.

There is a battle going on for your soul, your marriage, and your business.
Welcome to The Arena.
A Place for High-Performing Men
You’ve built something real. But something’s still off — at home, inside, in how you show up with her.
The Arena is where high-capacity Christian men take their marriage
to the next level without losing their edge in business.
Known. Whole. Undivided.
Brother, you didn’t show up here by accident.
You’ve built success at work—but you want that same energy, freedom, and connection with your wife.
Most men at your level have mastered performance. What they haven’t mastered is presence — with themselves, with God, and with the woman they vowed to know.
You can build a company. You can lead a team. But you come home, and the distance is still there — in your marriage, in your chest, between who you are at work and who you are behind closed doors.
That gap has a name. And it can be closed.
You’re winning at work.
Losing the only game
that matters.
01 You don’t fully know yourself. Not the deep-water version. The ambition is clear. But the wound driving it? The fear underneath the drive? Still unexamined — and running the show.
02 Your marriage is cordial — not intimate
You love her. You’re faithful. But when’s the last time she felt truly seen by you? When’s the last time you felt free to be fully known by her?
03 Your success feels hollow sometimes
Not always. But enough. The wins don’t land the way they used to. You’re building, but you’re not sure it’s building toward anything that actually satisfies.
04 You’re doing it mostly alone
Therapists who don’t understand your world. Peers who compete. Groups that stay surface. You’ve never had a room where you could be completely honest.
Not another leadership group.
This is soul work.
Every mastermind teaches frameworks. The Arena does something most men have never experienced: it helps you become truly known — to yourself, to God, and to your wife.
Most programs treat marriage as a benefit of better leadership. Here, your intimacy with your wife is the measure. Not revenue. Not systems. How known are you at home? How much of yourself do you actually bring there?
Discover Your IdentityStrip away the performance, the persona, the title. Discover the man beneath — his wounds, his gifts, his God-given design. Then lead from that place.
Unlock Intimacy in Your MarriageNot tips and tricks. Real closeness — emotional, spiritual, physical. The kind that only comes when a man stops hiding and starts showing up whole.
WHAT YOU GET
Real Brotherhood
We go where most men never go — into the formation, the wounds, the beliefs that have shaped how you lead, love, and see yourself.
Core wound & protective patterns
God-given design & calling
The divided self — and how to unify it
Two annual invitations in the spring and fall to go deeper in real life.
Coaching Calls
Bi-weekly group coaching sessions 60-90 minutes each.
Identity deep-dive — personal profile & debrief on how to hear God in your identity.
Think of these as mini retreats for your heart between our in-person gatherings.
I cap this mastermind intentionally — only inviting men I’m eager to pour into.
Vocation & Calling
Not just strategy. Meaning. We align what you build with who you are — so your work becomes an expression of your identity, not an escape from it.
Leading from being, not proving
Legacy thinking & generational vision
Margin, rhythm, and sustainable fire
Faith-integrated leadership
Marriage & Intimacy
Not marriage counseling. Marriage elevation. We work on you — so what comes home is a man worth knowing. Then we talk about her and what she needs.
Emotional presence & attunement
Conflict as doorway to intimacy
Desire, vulnerability, and risk
Building a marriage that’s actually alive
Who Belongs in The Arena
This room is built for a specific man. If you recognize yourself here, you’re probably him.
High-performing Christian men — CEOs, founders, executives, Chick-fil-A operators — who are outwardly winning and quietly wondering if this is all there is.
Married men who want more — not leaving, not in crisis, but honest enough to say their marriage could be far more intimate than it is.
Men ready for real work — not tips, not hacks, not accountability buddies. Men willing to be genuinely honest about what’s actually going on inside.
Faith-grounded leaders who want their relationship with God to shape how they lead — not just inspire a morning devotional.
Men who invest in themselves with the same seriousness they invest in their business — and understand that this IS business, because who you are determines everything else.
ABOUT LANTZ
Most coaches know business. Most therapists know marriage. Lantz Howard is the rare coach who has spent over two decades doing the deep work at the intersection of both — and built his entire practice around men who live there.
As an ICF PCC-certified executive coach and marriage therapist, Lantz brings clinical-grade depth to the room most coaches can’t access. He doesn’t just challenge your strategy — he challenges your story. And he knows the difference.
He is married to Jessica (20+ years), father of four girls, a man of faith, and understands personally what it costs to be wholehearted in every arena. His podcast, Wholehearted Leadership, has featured John Eldredge, Patrick Lencioni, Henry Cloud, and John Delony.
He built The Arena because no room like it existed.
You Were Made
for More Than This.
Not just more revenue. More wholeness. More presence. A marriage where you’re actually known — not just tolerated. A legacy your kids will feel, not just inherit. The Arena is where that begins.
All for $597/month (cancel anytime after 90 days).
This is your space to slow down, tell the truth, and lead from your true identity—at home, at work, and before God.
