Help me design a free KWML intro product

Hi everyone!

As I’ve said earlier, the KWML archetypes form the most popular body of content on this website and I have decided that I should make a product – my first one (yahoooo!) – featuring them.

In this simple introduction, I plan to feature a description of the archetypes, descriptions of movies where they can be found and ways in which they can be accessed in daily life.

This could actually become a REAL RESOURCE for men and I want it to be a collaborative effort.

If you could tell me in the comments section below what you would like to see in such a product, it would be extremely helpful.

Please pass the news around too – the more the merrier. We need to restore the KWML archetypes within ourselves and I’m hoping that this free product will be one small contribution I can make to turn this vision into a reality.

Do you want such a free KWML guide? Then what are you waiting for? Spill the beans below!

Thanks,
Eivind
