About Average Joes
In The Beginning….
What began in 2018 as a simple weekly meet-up between two mates, Wayne Taylor and Eliot Krause, sharing a beer, chicken wings, and an honest conversation about what it means to be a better man, has since grown into one of the most recognised men’s movements in Australia. Armed with a selfie of themselves enjoying wings and beers, they posted a call on a Sunshine Coast Facebook community page inviting local men to join them every Wednesday at their favourite pub. What followed was an hour of real, raw conversations about the challenges men face, the push to be better and hold accountability to each other.
Minutes later…
Minutes after the original post the local newspaper saw the post on the local facebook community board and overnight published a story titled ‘Two Average Joes out to change stigma.’…birthing the name of their weekly wings and beer ‘Average Joes’.
Deciding to run with the name AverageJoes and not knowing what to expect the following week both men were overwhelmingly surprised when it quickly became one of the most interacted posts on the facebook page and drew a crowd the very next week.
Due to the huge interest only month later they opened doors to another AverageJoes meetup on the Central Coast NSW, shortly followed 4 weeks by a 3rd in Penrith NSW and now totalling 8 current AverageJoes meetups in 2 countries with AverageJoes TEEN EDITION about to kick off in Tennessee USA and helping pioneer ‘Plain Janes’ focussing on bringing the same flavour and same culture to women.
