What is Grow Dangerously?

Grow Dangerously is a platform committed to fighting the men’s epidemic of isolation, fear, passivity, and limits.

Through deep work, facing ourselves, introspection, healing, and travel, we seek to bring real change to the lives of modern men.

This is a home for those who were never meant to follow the script—and know it deep in their bones.

We help men break free from numb routines, dead relationships, and soul-killing jobs by doing the one thing most people are afraid of: facing themselves.

Through community, books, hard-hitting essays, healing frameworks, and unfiltered guidance, Grow Dangerously is a launchpad for the inner war—the fight to reclaim your edge, your purpose, and your life.

Whether you're battling porn addiction, lost in avoidance, or craving something real in a fake world—this is your signal. You weren’t meant to live sedated.
You were meant to Grow Dangerously.

Here are some cornerstone pieces that tell the story of what we’re about:

Who is CT?

CT Dool started Grow Dangerously originally to document his intertwined travels-meets-introspection stories, but it morphed into something much, much bigger…

From the founder:

“I didn’t inherit a blueprint for manhood—I simply learned to survive in a world that demanded I stay small.

Through adolescence and early adulthood, I was severely wounded—unprocessed trauma, huge self-limiting beliefs, and extremely fearful.

This led me to drink, do drugs, binge porn, seek approval, escape, play it safe, stay inside, and never go for what I truly wanted, thinking it was too good for me.

Trapped in a soul-draining oil job and desperate for a change, I made a choice:

Burn the safety net, face the unknown, and fully deconstruct then rebuild myself from the ground up.

Through brutal self-experimentation, solo travel, and relentless inner war, I forged a path to freedom.”

CT is the creator of Grow Dangerously and the author of Unchained, a no-BS guide to quitting porn for life. He now leads men through their own crucibles—ripping away fear, weakness, and the limits they never agreed to.
