Our Team

Layton Lewis

Professionally

I have a dynamic work history focused in strategy, business operations, program development, learning & development, and technology. I have worked at companies of all sizes from start-ups to $13B companies. I leverage my broad background to establish infrastructure, empower teams, scale growth, and fuel evolution. I strive to foster an environment of continuous improvement through embodying an entrepreneurial spirit, healthy masculine leadership, and passion for growth.

Personally

Along my path, I’ve found numerous modalities that promote my health and wellbeing. I do athlete-style training 5 days/week to build strength and endurance. I enjoy recovery days working with massage, sauna, cold therapy, stretching, etc.). I have a passion for the physical and philosophical teachings of yoga and have taught classes to incorporate knowledge from my 200hr training and my own practice. I support the practice of breathwork and meditation as a means to transform my mindset and deepen my presence. I’ve changed my relationship with food and substances to promote my overall health. I make a conscious effort to embody my version of healthy masculinity to help serve as a vehicle for the transmission of consciousness, spaciousness, and liberation.

In all areas of my life, I work to promote a climate of trust and inspire others to achieve goals. I am passionate about driving change and transforming vision into action. It is my mission to help those along my journey to realize their truth and actualize a reality of love and abundance.

  • Your current life demands one version of you, but you feel called to pursue and align with something else, something greater.

    As men, we have an innate need to lead, serve, and live a life a freedom. We crave to experience immense clarity, depth, and passion in all areas of life. On the contrary, when we aren’t operating from these places, we feel confused, disconnected, unmotivated, uncontrolled, and disheartened.

    I know the feeling of wanting change and not having the means to make it happen. Like many men in today’s world, I didn’t grow up with a father who helped me grow into a strong man. I also didn’t have men around me that embodied the man I wanted to become. Most significantly, I lacked the self-love to see greatness within myself. The absence of a loving masculine figure, the self-deprecating beliefs, and lack of purpose became a hallow abyss that I had to explore and overcome on my own. While I’m proud to say I’ve made tremendous strides, there is no end to this work as the human experience demands for us to continuously learn and grow. As a fellow brother who is figuring it out, I too seek resources, community, and mentorship.

    Born from the desire to serve, I established The Academy for Vitruvian Men to help steward our brothers in the relentless pursuit of their truth. A mission rooted in purpose where every man has the means to build a reality of love and abundance.

    AVM is a stronghold and vehicle for liberation - a fortified community of men who are agents of change and exemplify radical transformation. Vitruvian Men are strong and balanced, vastly skilled and eager for more, physically fit and highly energized. We believe in accountability, discipline, and excellence. We do everything with intention and integrity. We strive to embody divine love.

    With the programming and network of AVM, men gain the tools and connections to step deeper into their truth. Our physical and energetic body is strengthened, our relationships become gateways, and our life visions manifest into reality.

    We are always accepting those committed to personifying our shared mission while honoring the container of trust and rigor we collectively uphold. With no tolerance for judgement, we accept our brothers for where they are at on their journey. However, we demand authenticity, respect, and dedication.

    In humble service,
    Layton
