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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

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
Immersive in-person experiences with Chip, Anthony, and the community. Coaching, reflection, vision work, strategic conversation, prayer, and real connection away from normal responsibilities.
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.
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.
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.
Monthly practical tools and frameworks Chip, Anthony, and the BE1MK1 team use. Planning systems, decision frameworks, time management, habit formation, team alignment, emerging resources.
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.
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.
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
Founder · Build the PersonChip 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
Founder · Unlock the VisionAnthony 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.
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.
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.
