than Olaf Krop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A veteran of the men\u2019s work within MDI since April 1998, Krop has held pretty much every leadership position, including Division Coordinator, Regional Coordinator, International Director of the Membership Training Program, Chairman of the Board and as of July 2024 the MDI President, a position he needed to leave, regretfully and painfully, due to illness. Even with his illness, Krop continued to present a vision of a future of MDI and the vision of a world in need of mature masculine men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE LEGACY MAGAZINE INTERVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mdi-mentoring-men-to-live-with-excellence-men-039-s-teams wp-block-embed-mdi-mentoring-men-to-live-with-excellence-men-039-s-teams\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mntei9lSQX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentordiscoverinspire.org\/mature-king-olaf-krop-the-legacy-interview\/\">Olaf Krop, The Mature King<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Olaf Krop, The Mature King&#8221; &#8212; MDI - Mentoring men to live with excellence - Men&#039;s Teams\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mentordiscoverinspire.org\/mature-king-olaf-krop-the-legacy-interview\/embed\/#?secret=HjbGitI9SV#?secret=mntei9lSQX\" data-secret=\"mntei9lSQX\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WINNER OF THE RICK RUSSELL AWARD &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentordiscoverinspire.org\/krop-takes-the-honors-with-rick-russell-award\/\"> STOR<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentordiscoverinspire.org\/krop-takes-the-honors-with-rick-russell-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Y<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentordiscoverinspire.org\/krop-takes-the-honors-with-rick-russell-award\/\"> HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A consistent contributor to the Legacy Magazine since the beginning, Krop&#8217;s vision included building followers through a social media presence.

The Legacy Magazine is glue that binds us together. This vehicle allows men, teams, families, and communities to share and receive life lessons learned, all forms of life lessons, perspectives from all ages. This mentoring used to be available only in person, but now is available to us wherever we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim has inspired me, and others, to up my game as a writer. His life is a very full plate of challenges, yet he makes the time to do what it takes to provide this communication vehicle to us all, month after month.
