Anything new that you want to share about your business that has happened within the last three months?

In the past three months, John Porter Empowers LLC has experienced remarkable growth, visibility, and momentum. What began as a mission to help men heal has now expanded into a full empowerment ecosystem anchored by three powerful pillars: Porter’s books, The Beyond the Cave Podcast, and The Cave of Kings Men’s Group.

The Cave of Kings has officially launched multi-city models in Atlanta and Detroit, creating safe spaces for men to confront trauma, develop emotional intelligence, and step boldly into leadership. Each group is facilitated by licensed professionals, coaches, and community leaders, establishing the foundation for a national network of male empowerment hubs.

Meanwhile, The Beyond the Cave Podcast has evolved into a high-energy platform that blends raw conversations, spiritual insight, and real-life storytelling. The podcast has expanded its guest lineup and audience reach, solidifying its role as the official voice of the Cave Movement and serving as a precursor to the upcoming Life Beyond the Cave Tour.

On the literary front, Porter is finalizing the manuscript for Life Beyond the Cave: From Trauma to Transformation , along with a companion workbook and a self-paced course. His previous works, including Conquering the Cave, Mending the Broken Soul, and The Twelve P’s of Dating, continue to serve as foundational tools within the community.

These developments demonstrate that John Porter Empowers LLC is no longer simply inspiring men; it is mobilizing a movement. Porter’s brand has become a transformational force reshaping how men heal, grow, and lead, creating SAFE spaces where men can embrace purpose, resilience, and leadership.
