Why I do what I do

& why it matters.

"Anything you can imagine is real–

but first you must embody it."

Hey, I’m Jose Alejandro.

I am a master certified men's life & leadership coach, impact-driven business mentor, somatic practitioner, men's work facilitator and wilderness rite of passage guide.

I’m a men’s life and leadership coach, business mentor, somatic practitioner, men’s work facilitator and rites of passage guide.

But when you strip away all the titles, I’m simply a man whose work is a reflection of his personal journey.

From a young age, I’ve always been curious kid who questioned and explored anything and everything. Because I never quite fit into one box, I quickly learned to negotiate my truth in order to keep the peace, both in and out of my home.

Naturally, I gravitated toward understanding the mind, believing that with enough knowledge, hard work, and sheer determination, I could solve all my problems and create the life I wanted.

I earned my BA in Psychology, devoured countless books and set out into the world with a vision of who I thought I was meant to be. I had a beautiful girlfriend, a well-paying corporate marketing job and what seemed like a solid grasp on how mindset influenced my success.

But the reality was different. My knowledge was conceptual. My achievements felt hollow. My nervous system was in overdrive and my integrity was rooted in insecurity and other people’s expectations. Outwardly, I looked like I had it all together, but inside, I felt trapped.

I wasn’t embodying my truth. I wasn’t giving my gift. I wasn’t living my vision. As a result, I wasn’t making the impact I was capable of on my community or the world. I wasn’t living my purpose.

It wasn’t until…

It wasn’t until years after graduating with my BA in psychology, during a very challenging chapter in my life and relationship, that I decided to take a hard look in the mirror, go deep into my shadow, & take ownership of my life.

It wasn’t until years after graduating with my BA in Psychology, during one of the most challenging chapters of my life and relationship, that I finally took a hard look in the mirror. I had to confront my shadow and take full ownership of my life.

That’s when I began exploring therapy, which helped me move through emotional blocks and understand how my early childhood experiences had unconsciously shaped my decisions and behaviors. Therapy gave me insight, but something still felt missing.

As I continued diving deeper into personal development journey, I came across books on integrated manhood and masculine emotional intelligence that completely shifted my perspective. They spoke about leadership, relationships, healing the inner child and the transformative power of having a solid men’s team. This was my first introduction to men’s work and it resonated deeply.

This led me to powerful spaces with other men—mentors, coaches, and peers—where I uncovered my blind spots, raised my integrity, and received powerful reflections on who I truly am.

I then immersed myself in various modalities, including wilderness rites of passage, indigenous teachings, breathwork, and embodied leadership practices. The more inner work I did, the clearer my truth, vision, and purpose became.

Today, as a master certified men’s life & leadership coach, business consultant, somatic practitioner, and rite of passage guide, I specialize in helping purpose-driven men grow their business while deepening their relationships by increasing their capacity to lead and love.

Through my individual work and as the Co-Founder of Modern Renaissance Man, a movement empowering self-led men to master themselves and create the life they love, I’ve guided thousands of men over the past 7 years to cultivate healthy relationships, optimize their well-being, increase income, and deepen their purpose and impact.

I’ve practiced, apprenticed, and trained with world-renowned teachers in masculine embodiment, leadership, relational intimacy, men’s work, and rites of passage. By bridging personal experience with professional expertise, I empower men to embody their full potential, aligning business success with deeper fulfillment in life and love.
