Darrell Shaw delves into the core values that shape American Egress, describing it as a community grounded in patriotism, faith, and a commitment to helping others. "We love this country, we believe in God, and we’re here to support each other," Shaw states. This shared ethos fosters a sense of purpose that goes beyond individual goals, emphasizing mutual support among members.

Philanthropy, Shaw explains, is a fundamental part of the community, with members encouraged to give back and share their knowledge. 

“You can’t expect to get something from others if you’re not willing to give,” he says, emphasizing a spirit of reciprocity. American Egress’s first charity event, Dressember, will focus on fighting human trafficking—a cause Shaw feels strongly about. "It’s not just about what I’m passionate about," he notes, "it’s about what we’re all passionate about." This dedication to both personal growth and community service is at the heart of American Egress’s mission, creating a culture where members feel both supported and inspired to make a difference.
