Deep Dive Interview
Thank you for agreeing to share your story with The Encore Project. The questions below will help us understand your journey more deeply. Take your time with these—we want to hear your authentic voice, your real experiences, and your honest reflections.
Your story matters—not just as a record of your own experience, but as a gift to other men navigating similar passages. What you share here will be shaped into a narrative that honors your journey while offering insight and companionship to readers finding their way through their own encores.
Some questions may feel difficult or emotional. That’s okay. Those are often the moments that make the most meaningful stories. You can take breaks as needed, save your progress, and return to complete the form when you’re ready. There are no wrong answers—just your truth.
