About the Old Guys Guild (OGG)
Old Guys Guild is a community for seasoned guys who work hard, play hard, buy cool toys we don’t need, break stuff, fix stuff, and pretend we’re always right (we are, tho).
What’s a “seasoned guy,” you ask?
40+ maybe? Or whenever you think you’re old. Or not. We don’t care. Everyone’s welcome.
The Newsletter (e.g., why you’re here)
📒 Guild Notes is the official newsletter of the Old Guys Guild. It’s a weekly dispatch of stuff we’re thinking, doing, working on, listening to, watching, playing, eating, drinking, griping about, or anything else we’d talk about over a beer in the garage, at the game, or around the grill.
No politics. No drama. Just old guys doing old guy stuff (minus the gross stuff).
Join the Old Guys Guild today. You probably won’t regret it. Maybe. Whatever.
Join the Guild!
We’d love to have you onboard to help shape our content and community. Although Substack is our hub, we’re working to grow the guild everywhere online and could certainly use the help.
We only have a few rules wherever you engage with us or the rest of the guild:
No politics.
No drama.
No hate.

Follow Us Everywhere!
While the email newsletter is the best place to get the goods, we are working to grow our socials. Here’s a list so you can follow us everywhere:
*We often invite people to the guild by offering a complimentary one-year paid subscription. These are based on engagement levels of free subscribers across all of the platforms we are active on (Substack, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest, etc.).
**The chat here on OldGuysGuild.com is our primary means of communication with official guild members (as opposed to comments on various social media platforms). While we monitor and respond everywhere, this chat takes priority.
