“You Need a Rite of Passage.”

Your Persona 🧭

There comes a moment when a man realizes he’s been living a life scripted by others; school, work, success, approval. Maybe everything looks good from the outside, but something inside him knows: he’s lost contact with who he really is. That unease you feel? That low hum of restlessness or numbness? It’s not a problem to fix. It’s a signal. It’s the part of you that refuses to settle for a half-lived life.

Going “Off the Grid” is an invitation to step away from distraction and face the man in the mirror. Without performance. Without pretending. You’ll confront the parts of yourself you’ve avoided; the fears, the hunger, the untapped strength. Because only when you stop running can you hear what your life is truly asking of you. This is not about self-improvement. It’s about remembering what’s already there, buried under years of noise: clarity, truth, direction.

Your Nature 🐺

The wild doesn’t lie. It doesn’t care how much money you make or how many followers you have. Out here, you’re not your job title, your reputation, or your routines… you’re just a man, stripped down to the basics. The forest doesn’t flatter you, but it will meet you. And in that meeting, something ancient wakes up: instinct, presence, humility, power.

We’ve been severed from the natural world, and with that disconnection came confusion, anxiety, and burnout. But the wild still knows. Nature doesn’t rush, it doesn’t explain, and it doesn’t need to. It shows you. Through challenge, silence, and stillness who you are and what you’re capable of. When you leave the noise of civilization and return to the rhythms of the earth, you begin to see clearly again. What felt chaotic begins to make sense. What felt overwhelming becomes simple. You remember your place not at the center of everything, but part of something greater.

Your Legacy 👣

Every man leaves a mark. The question is whether it’s accidental or intentional. Legacy isn’t something you build at the end of your life. It’s being shaped right now in your choices, your presence and your values. But most men have never paused long enough to ask: What kind of impact am I really making? What will remain after I’m gone?

When you’ve met yourself in silence and tested yourself in the wild, what you bring back is different. You lead with more integrity. You create with more depth. You show up for your family, your work, and your purpose with clarity and conviction. At Off the Grid, we don’t chase meaning, we cultivate it. Legacy is not a fantasy. It’s a fire that starts inside you and touches everything you do. The man who walks back down the mountain is not the same one who went up. And that’s the point.

Your Guide 🔥

Marc knows what it means to build… and to burn it all down.

For years, he lived the fast-paced life of a startup entrepreneur. As a co-founder and business strategist, he was immersed in lean models, scaling ventures, and helping others optimize their way to success. On the surface, it worked. But underneath, something essential was missing; a deeper sense of purpose, aliveness, and connection.

That crack in the foundation widened until he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

After a life-changing experience in the forests of Sweden, Marc made a radical choice: he sold his business in the Netherlands and walked away from the life he had built. What followed was not a retreat, but a rebirth. He spent years living close to the land. Studying survival, guiding others into the wild, and slowly piecing together a deeper understanding of trauma, need, and the gift each of us is here to offer.

Today, Marc lives in the middle of the forest, not to escape the world, but to meet it from a place of truth. He guides men back to what they’ve forgotten; through fire, silence, wilderness, and honest work. His mission is simple: to help others remember who they are and why they’re here.
