A Private Year-Long Leadership Experience

Become the leader.
Build the vision.

The Foundry is a selective 12-month experience led personally by BE1MK1 founders Chip Pugh and Anthony Rex for leaders who are serious about pursuing 100% of who God made them to be and building what God designed them to build.

There Is More In You

What if you stopped holding back?

Most leaders don't lack potential. They lack space. Space to think. Space to tell the truth. Space to confront fear. Space to ask what they actually want. Space to wrestle with what God may be asking of them. Space to bring the dream out of their head. Space to become the person the next season requires. And people around them who refuse to let them settle for less than who they were made to become.

Maybe you've built something successful. Maybe you're just beginning to see what's next. Maybe you're carrying an idea that has lived in your head for years. Maybe you're in transition. Maybe you know the next version of your life will require more courage than the last one did.

The Foundry begins with two questions: Who are you becoming? And: What are you here to build?

Now Is The Time

You don't get unlimited seasons.

There are ideas you've carried long enough. Changes you've known you need to make. Conversations you've avoided. Things you've sensed God calling you toward. Versions of yourself you've glimpsed but haven't fully stepped into.

At some point: Preparation becomes hiding. Analysis becomes fear. Responsibility becomes an excuse. Comfort becomes a ceiling.

The Foundry creates a year to stop drifting and begin moving with intention. Not recklessly. Not alone. Not through empty ambition. With clarity. With courage. With wisdom. With community. With action.

Now is the time to become and build.

No Two Stories Are The Same

Your transformation will be personal.

The Foundry is not designed to manufacture one version of success. Every member enters carrying something different. For one person, transformation may look like one thing. For another, something entirely different.

Courage

Finally doing the thing fear has kept you from.

Purpose

Understanding what this season is actually for.

Alignment

Bringing faith, family, health, leadership, work, and mission back together.

Freedom

Letting go of performance, comparison, or fear.

Leadership

Becoming the person your team or family needs you to become.

Vision

Taking something that lives only inside you and giving it shape.

The framework is shared. The transformation is personal.

Four Seasons of Formation and Building

A year to become. A year to build.

The year follows a deliberate seasonal rhythm. Each season serves a specific purpose in your transformation and vision work.

What You Get

This isn't something you attend. It's an environment you enter.

The Foundry brings together Made to Win (to develop the person), Kingdom Architecture (to unlock the vision), BE1MK1 tools (to strengthen how you live and work), Chip and Anthony (to personally coach you), and a community of leaders (who challenge and encourage one another).

The Six Experience Components

Foundry Retreats (2x/year)

Immersive in-person experiences with Chip, Anthony, and the community. Coaching, reflection, vision work, strategic conversation, prayer, and real connection away from normal responsibilities.

Monthly Foundry Sessions

Group development led by Chip and Anthony. High-level coaching on personal formation, leadership, mindset, vision, strategy, tools, and decision-making. Continuous movement and growth.

Private Coaching

Personal sessions throughout the year for fear, leadership challenges, family, identity, decisions, transitions, and calling. One-on-one attention for what shouldn't happen in the room.

Personal Vision Architecture

Personalized strategic work with Anthony. You bring the vision, the dream, the initiative. Together you work through Discover, Dream, Develop, Deploy. You leave with architecture and a 90-Day Build Forward Plan.

The Foundry Lab

Monthly practical tools and frameworks Chip, Anthony, and the BE1MK1 team use. Planning systems, decision frameworks, time management, habit formation, team alignment, emerging resources.

The Room

A carefully built community of 8-10 leaders pursuing 100% of who God made them to be. People who challenge, encourage, share wisdom, hold each other accountable, and help one another move forward.

Your Vision

No two members leave with the same plan.

One person may leave ready to launch a company. Another to restructure one. Another to plant a church. Another to write a book. Another to rebuild their family. Another to finally launch the ministry that's been living in their journal for five years.

The framework is shared. The calling is personal. Build from purpose, not pressure.

The Full Attention of BE1MK1

Two founders. One mission: Help you become and build.

Some programs work on your life. Others on your business. The Foundry refuses to separate them. The thing you're building will rarely outgrow the person building it. Becoming a healthier, clearer, more courageous leader eventually changes what you're willing and able to build.

Chip Pugh

Chip Pugh

Founder · Build the Person
Who do you need to become?

Chip has spent his career coaching people toward their potential. His work helps leaders understand identity, purpose, mindset, discipline, performance, courage, personal growth, and whole-life alignment.

Chip builds the environment where leaders stop shrinking and start stepping into who they were made to be.

Anthony Rex

Anthony Rex

Founder · Unlock the Vision
What are you here to build?

Anthony is a pastor, coach, and architect passionate about seeing disciples of Jesus raised up to live on mission. He works with leaders to pull vision from their heads, identify the strategy underneath it, organize the pieces, and turn what they see into something they can build.

Anthony helps leaders see what should exist and then builds the strategy to make it real.

Who You're With

You won't just know more people. You'll be known by people who are building too.

This is not an audience. It is a carefully built room of leaders pursuing 100% of who God made them to be and building what God designed them to build. These leaders are willing to:

Challenge one another. Share resources. Make introductions. Open doors when appropriate. Offer honest feedback. Celebrate wins. Carry burdens. And help one another keep moving.

Courage is easier when you're surrounded by courageous people.

The Foundry Is Intentionally Small

Start with a conversation.

Every person changes the room. That is why membership begins with an inquiry. We want to understand who you are, what season you're in, what you're carrying, what you believe may be inside you, what you're building, where you're stuck, and why now matters.

Then we'll determine together whether The Foundry is the right environment for your next year.

Common Questions

Everything you want to know.

The Foundry is a selective year-long leadership and vision-building experience led personally by BE1MK1 founders Chip Pugh and Anthony Rex. It combines personal formation, private coaching, group development, retreats, strategic vision work, practical tools, and a carefully curated community.
No. The relationships and shared wisdom are valuable, but The Foundry is fundamentally a developmental environment focused on the person you're becoming and the vision you're building.
No. Members may lead businesses, churches, ministries, nonprofits, teams, initiatives, or other meaningful work. You may also be in a transition where the next thing has not fully emerged yet.
That's okay. Part of the year is designed to help uncover and clarify the vision. You do not need to enter with a polished idea.
Yes. The Foundry is BE1MK1's highest-attention environment and includes direct involvement from both founders. Chip brings identity, purpose, mindset, performance, and personal coaching. Anthony brings vision, strategy, leadership, and Kingdom Architecture.
Highly personalized. Every member follows the same seasonal arc, but the coaching, vision work, tools, strategic plan, and outcomes are shaped around the individual. No two Foundry journeys look the same.
The retreats are immersive working experiences. Expect coaching, reflection, deep conversation, prayer, vision work, strategy, community, shared meals, and time away from normal responsibilities. Lodging and meals are included. Travel is not.
Members should expect monthly group sessions, one private coaching session each month, two retreats, strategic and personal work between sessions, and participation in the community. The Foundry is designed for people who intend to engage deeply.
Success will look different for every member. But members should leave more clear, courageous, aligned, and equipped—and with a vision that has moved from something inside them toward something tangible.
Investment details are discussed during the membership conversation. The first priority is determining whether The Foundry is the right fit for you and whether you're the right fit for the room.

There is more in you.
Now is the time.

Release what's holding you back. Do the deeper work. Clarify what's inside you. Build the courage to move. Surround yourself with people who are becoming and building too. And bring what God put inside you to life.
