Order of Man - 154： Own the Day, Own Your Life ｜ Aubrey Marcus

00:00:00.000 So many of us focus on the end result, some noble goal we wish to pursue. And while there's value

00:00:05.540 in knowing where you're going, my guest today makes the case for measuring your success

00:00:09.640 in the smallest unit of measurement possible. Most of, you know, Aubrey Marcus founder of

00:00:14.680 on it. He is back again today to talk about how he has managed to build so much success in his

00:00:19.420 life. Today. We talk about the key to starting your day off, right? The benefits of unconventional

00:00:24.840 training, napping supplements, weird lunches, and how to own your day and own your life.

00:00:31.100 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears and boldly chart

00:00:35.820 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time you

00:00:41.400 are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This

00:00:47.680 is who you are. This is who you will become at the end of the day. And after all is said

00:00:52.740 done, you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name

00:00:57.480 is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and the founder of Order of Man. I hope all is going well for

00:01:02.260 you. It's certainly going well over here at Order of Man headquarters, which happens to

00:01:07.500 be a spare room in my basement, but it's amazing. It's amazing to me how much we have grown over

00:01:12.320 a few short years. It's a testament to the much needed information and resources that we're

00:01:17.000 putting out into the world today. It is a message of masculinity. It is a message of how

00:01:22.180 much we as men are needed in society today. And it's a message of stepping into the calling

00:01:27.460 of protector, provider, presider in our lives and the lives of the people that we have an

00:01:32.340 obligation, responsibility to serve. So I'm glad that you are here guys. We've got some

00:01:36.380 amazing guests. Anybody who's been around for any amount of time knows that if you're

00:01:40.260 just listening for the first time, we've got guys like Jocko Willink, Lewis Howes, Tim Kennedy,

00:01:45.380 Grant Cardone, Andy Frisilla, Aubrey Marcus today as a repeat guest, and so many, so many

00:01:50.640 more amazing, amazing men. My job is to unpack some of their wisdom and their experiences,

00:01:56.640 deliver it to you so that you can implement that stuff in your life. Now, before I get

00:02:00.840 into the introduction of Aubrey and of course the show today, I've got three quick things

00:02:04.620 that I wanted to make mention of and give you just a couple of quick announcements.

00:02:08.160 Number one, a lot of you guys didn't know that we actually have a Order of Man store.

00:02:13.100 We've got shirts, we've got hats, we've got patches, we've got journals, we've got battle

00:02:16.980 plans, you name it, we've got it over there. And we just brought online a couple new shirts

00:02:21.920 and a couple of new hats. So if you haven't checked out the store yet, head to store.orderofman.com

00:02:28.280 store.orderofman.com and you can see what we've got. You can support us, you can wear

00:02:33.560 some swag and look good in the meantime. So that's number one. Number two is we've got

00:02:37.820 our Iron Council. Now, if you're not familiar with what this is, this is our exclusive brotherhood

00:02:42.940 designed to give you the tools, the resources, the guidance, the direction, the accountability,

00:02:48.720 the brotherhood, the camaraderie. I mean, you name it, we've got it inside of the Iron Council.

00:02:52.680 We are roughly 360 members strong and I am always blown away with the conversations that

00:02:59.300 we're having with, again, the 360 men inside of the Iron Council. You're going to get accountability,

00:03:04.140 you're going to get challenges, you're going to get assignments, you're going to get focused

00:03:07.560 conversations, the book club, again, so much more going on inside of the Iron Council.

00:03:12.400 And we would love to have you join us because I think it's going to serve you well. And

00:03:15.760 of course it will serve the other brothers inside of the Iron Council. Well, if you're

00:03:18.980 interested in learning more about what that is and what all is included and how it all

00:03:23.140 works, go to orderofman.com slash Iron Council. And the third thing that I want to mention

00:03:28.060 for you today, and I'm just going to do this briefly because I am going to mention it more

00:03:31.600 during the break is our Order of Man uprising. This is our third time doing it and we've added

00:03:37.280 some new features. It's a three and a half day experience in the mountains of Southern Utah,

00:03:41.420 my hometown, my home area. All you have to do is get to Las Vegas from May 3rd to May 6th,

00:03:47.820 May 3rd to May 6th, 2018. You get to Las Vegas, we pick you up, we shuttle you to the mountains

00:03:52.760 in the cabin that we have. And from the minute that you hit the ground, we are running, doing

00:03:57.700 physical activities, mental tests, and so many more experiences, activities, opportunities,

00:04:04.200 whatever you want to call them to expand, expand your physical, mental, emotional intelligence.

00:04:09.920 And then of course, give you a new framework, a new foundation for the way in which you operate

00:04:14.120 in your relationships, your business, your health, your bank account, your life in general.

00:04:19.400 It's an amazing, amazing experience. I want to have you there if you're interested in the

00:04:23.100 details. And again, we're going to talk more about this during the break, but if you are

00:04:25.780 interested in details, head to orderofman.com slash uprising, orderofman.com slash uprising.

00:04:32.000 Do a quick, if you are interested, we only have 10 spots as of this recording and those

00:04:35.800 will sell out guys. Those are the announcements that I have for you today. Again, we've got

00:04:39.860 the store, we've got the brotherhood, the iron council, and then we've got our uprising

00:04:43.500 coming up May 3rd through 6th, 2018. Now let's get onto the conversation. Let me first

00:04:48.920 introduce you to Aubrey. This is a repeat guest. He came out with a new book on the day, on

00:04:53.640 your life. And I saw it come available. I knew I had to contact him, reached out to him

00:04:57.620 and his team, got him on the podcast immediately and looking forward to this conversation. I know

00:05:01.300 you're going to get a lot from it. Again, his name is Aubrey Marcus. He is the founder

00:05:04.500 of Onnit. Onnit specializes in food supplements, equipment, nootropics, and apparel. The more

00:05:10.860 I get to know this guy, the more I'm intrigued about how he produces results in his life and

00:05:16.080 the interesting, we'll call him interesting, maybe even sometimes strange way in which he

00:05:20.700 experiments with every facet of his life. He's a multi-sport athlete, a philosopher, a podcaster,

00:05:27.100 a business owner. He's now an author and somewhat of a scientist, if you will, when it comes to

00:05:33.300 achieving total human optimization in his own life and the millions of people he's working

00:05:38.020 hard to inspire. Aubrey, what's going on, man? Thanks for joining me on the show today.

00:05:43.360 Happy to be on here again, my man.

00:05:44.900 Yeah. Round number two. I'm looking forward to this because you've got the new book coming

00:05:48.060 out on the day, own your life. I'm really excited about the work you're doing. And what I enjoy most

00:05:52.740 about the book and reading it is it's really practical. You know, there's a lot of books out

00:05:57.120 there that are mindset and 30,000 foot view. And I think there's a time and a place for that.

00:06:00.780 Sure. But at the end of the day, what I really like about this is there's like very practical

00:06:05.100 tips that anybody can implement right now to get going with their life.

00:06:10.000 Yeah, that's the idea. I mean, we wanted to have this overarching theme, which is an entire day,

00:06:15.220 all of the interconnected things that you do in that day, but give people a super practical manual

00:06:20.280 like, all right, what do I do right now? What do I do within the first 15 minutes of waking up?

00:06:24.780 What does my breakfast actually look like? What are the tools I need to bring with me?

00:06:28.960 And trying to accomplish both of those things, it was ambitious, but you know, I'm really proud

00:06:33.300 of the work that we were able to put together. You use the word interconnected, which is actually

00:06:37.060 something you talked about right up front in the book. And it actually stood out to me because I

00:06:40.840 think it's very easy for us as guys to isolate components of our life. Like I'm going to work out

00:06:46.420 and then I'm going to do this and then I'm going to eat right. And then I'm going to do this.

00:06:49.980 And there's these separate components, but you make the case that it's all integrated,

00:06:54.260 that it's all connected and it should be like that. The day is the basic indivisible unit of

00:06:59.940 our life. That is the cycle. We wake up, we live the day, and then we go to sleep and then it resets.

00:07:05.880 That's why there's movies like Groundhog Day or Live, Die, Repeat, that one with Tom Cruise. I think

00:07:10.920 I got that title right. But anyways, it's always about the day because that is that natural reset that

00:07:16.200 we have. That is the 24 hour circadian rhythm. So to kind of bifurcate the day and say that these

00:07:22.160 things don't connect is really just false because how you wake up is going to change your circadian

00:07:27.740 rhythm, is going to change your energy, is going to change what you're drawn toward, how early you

00:07:31.860 want to grab that caffeine, which is going to change whether you want to work out or not, which might

00:07:36.220 change whether you want to have sex or not, which might change whether you have a good sleep or not.

00:07:40.080 So the only way to tackle real transformation in my mind is to just look at that basic indivisible

00:07:45.920 unit and say, all right, how can I level up one day? And then how can I do that repeatedly?

00:07:52.700 Yeah. There's this quote that actually I'm reminded of as you talk about this. It's from

00:07:56.460 Gandhi and it says, each night when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning when I wake

00:08:00.840 up, I am reborn. And I like that. It stands out to me because it is an opportunity for everybody

00:08:06.600 to wake up and not be defined by who they were in the past or who they were yesterday, but

00:08:11.740 who they decide to be right now from the minute that alarm goes off on their phone.

00:08:16.800 Yeah, that's a huge piece of this because you have to forgive the past. That's a major part of

00:08:21.640 actually the last chapter of my book is talking about, all right, you have all of the tools

00:08:25.600 now, but in order to implement those, you have to forgive yourself of yesterday. You

00:08:29.680 have to realize that Heraclitus quote, no man steps in the same river twice because it's

00:08:34.200 not the same river and you're not the same man. You waking up today is not the same person

00:08:38.760 that even went to bed the night before. Your cells have turned over. Your thoughts have turned

00:08:42.880 over. You've learned from all of the things that happened. You've gained from that experience.

00:08:46.880 You're not the same person. Sure. You have some same traits, some same characteristics.

00:08:50.880 You're in largely the same body occupying largely the same space. But when you decide

00:08:55.680 to be different, you are different. That's the beauty of being a human being. So you have

00:09:00.520 to forgive the past and realize you deserve to be the type of person that can change, that

00:09:05.420 can be that individual that you want to be. And that starts with that forgiveness of the

00:09:10.580 past.

00:09:11.540 So that is the last chapter of the book. You talk about bringing home forgiveness. You talk

00:09:15.240 about ethos, visualization. So I guess my question is, if somebody's listening to this

00:09:19.740 or wants to pick up a copy of the book, is it starting there first? I will decide to

00:09:25.160 change. I will change my ethos. I will visualize. I will forgive myself. Or is it just taking

00:09:29.260 these little simple steps from waking up and drinking some mineralized water like you talk

00:09:34.600 about? And that's where it starts.

00:09:36.660 It's a little combination of both because you can be fired up and not know what the fuck to 0.98

00:09:40.260 do. That's not really going to do you that good because you'll have all this inspiration 0.90

00:09:43.660 and you'll be like, yeah, I'm going to go crush it. I have no idea what I'm crushing,

00:09:47.180 but I'm going to go crush it.

00:09:48.460 Sure.

00:09:48.980 And then it may not actually have a lasting impact because that inspirational fade because

00:09:53.280 you won't see actual progress happening because you won't know the actual steps. So you need

00:09:58.400 part of that motivation, part of those mental practices mixed with these physical practices

00:10:03.440 that are actually going to have substantial, tangible meaning and difference in how you feel on a

00:10:10.280 day-to-day basis. And I think this book really does a good job blending both of those, giving you

00:10:15.200 the motivation, that kind of fire to go get this done while also telling you, all right,

00:10:20.940 these are the things that are going to make the biggest damn difference.

00:10:24.400 I want to get into this from a tactical level because there's so much, again, practical information

00:10:28.540 on this. But before we get into that, I'm really curious how this changed around for you. Because if I

00:10:33.560 remember correctly, I don't remember the age, maybe 30, 35 years old. This wasn't you. This is kind of

00:10:39.180 where you had an awakening and you thought, I've got to do something different with my life. Can you

00:10:42.780 walk me through that?

00:10:44.680 Yeah. I mean, a lot of this was before I started on it in my late 20s. I was pretty depressed. I was

00:10:50.840 pretty anxious. I don't have a big fitness transformation story because I retreated to

00:10:55.380 fitness as the one solace. It was like the one variable that I could control. So I was always in

00:11:00.580 the gym. But was I healthy? Hell no. You know, I was sick all the time. I was up and down and I could

00:11:06.240 perform really well sometimes and then I couldn't make it out of bed other times. And I was just

00:11:10.800 really erratic and really kind of a mess in a lot of ways. And part of that was I didn't have

00:11:15.860 a purpose. I talk about a really pivotal moment in this book because we're covering an entire day

00:11:21.460 and part of that day is going to be your work practices and how you look at the job that you're

00:11:26.180 in and how you look at work. And for me, it wasn't that my job actually changed. It was that

00:11:31.120 my purpose in that job changed instead of just identifying and ruminating on how miserable I was

00:11:37.400 in this position and what a failure I was because I was still working in this job that I absolutely

00:11:41.820 hated. Instead, I was like, all right, no, I'm not doing that. What I'm doing now is I'm biding the

00:11:47.500 time. I'm learning the skills. I'm gathering the resources. I'm making the connections. I'm preparing

00:11:52.700 myself for that leap to the next lily pad, which will then propel me to what I actually want to do.

00:11:59.260 So that subtle shift of saying, here I am blowing it again another day at this job that I hate.

00:12:04.640 It's like, no, here I am preparing, gathering, getting ready, sharpening my sword because one

00:12:10.060 day I'm going to jump from this thing and then I need to be ready for that moment. And so I really

00:12:14.200 started focusing on preparing myself internally rather than worrying about the external. And that

00:12:20.300 was the real turning point in my life, I would say. I'm really fascinated by this because I look at you

00:12:25.600 now and obviously you've built an amazing brand with on it and just done some incredible things

00:12:29.680 in your life. But then I also try to look at who a man is surrounded by, because I think that's a

00:12:34.300 pretty telling sign as to his capacity for growth and expansion and who he is. Personally, I look at

00:12:40.720 the guys that you're connected with guys like Joe Rogan, who's a business partner and our best

00:12:44.660 athletes, our best warriors. We were talking about Tim Kennedy before this, who works out at your gym.

00:12:49.320 We're talking about Dakota Meyer, who also works out at your gym. How do you go from somebody who

00:12:55.020 doesn't have his act together to now connecting with some of the most successful men on the planet?

00:13:01.340 Well, the thing that binds all of these great athletes, and it is just such a blessing,

00:13:05.240 you know, hearing you talk about that, sometimes you take it for granted. Like I'll walk in in the

00:13:08.260 morning and we'll have people training for the NFL combine or if it's off season, we'll have Earl Thomas

00:13:13.680 and then Jake Arrieta, the Cy Young winner, and then Tim Kennedy. And everybody's just looking and

00:13:18.860 vibing off each other. And we have the combine guys doing vertical leaps and Tim doing burpee

00:13:23.840 thrusters. And, you know, like it's just this collection of incredible individuals, Lance

00:13:29.340 Armstrong crushing it on one side, doing his own workout. And these icons, these heroes that have

00:13:35.280 all kind of gathered here together. But it's a similar ethos. It's a willingness to push yourself

00:13:40.340 into the darkness and into the shit to come out better from the other side. And all of us have had 0.99

00:13:45.900 our own way of doing that. You know, and I was talking to Tim about that yesterday and we were

00:13:50.580 talking about how we've done it in different ways. For Tim, you know, he has this recent show where

00:13:55.260 he's called Hard to Kill and they'll literally light an airplane on fire and he'll have to tear the

00:14:00.220 airplane apart from the inside out to get out. That's just like him. Yeah. Yeah, totally. And it's like,

00:14:05.880 give me the challenge, show me the fire breathing rhinoceros and I will defeat that thing. 0.90

00:14:11.140 And for me, I've had some of those, you know, I've been an athlete and I've had those external

00:14:14.980 challenges. But for me, a lot of the challenges I've faced have been internal. And I explained to

00:14:19.740 him that Temescal, the Mexican sweat lodge ritual, where you're just locked in complete pitch black

00:14:25.920 with all of these molten hot stones and they're pouring water on the stones and it's getting

00:14:30.780 hotter and hotter and you can't see. And they're singing prayers in Spanish and the smell of the herbs

00:14:36.880 in the smoke and it starts to sting and your face gets so hot. So you lay down on the ground and

00:14:41.520 you're sipping cool air from the bottom and you're in for an hour and a half in the pitch dark. You

00:14:46.620 don't know whether you're going to come out and you have to surrender to your fears of dying. You have

00:14:52.100 to surrender to your to everything and just accept the true nature of who you are. And I've pushed

00:14:58.400 myself in rituals like that over and over and over again. So while me and Tim have not done the same

00:15:03.980 things and me and Jake Arrieta or me and Lance Armstrong haven't done it the same way, we can

00:15:09.340 look at each other and say, brother, when we meet each other, because it's that common bond of having

00:15:15.360 pushed through something that was really challenging and come out the other side better for it.

00:15:21.040 One thing that I really admire about what you do is from the outside looking in is this process of

00:15:26.260 experimentation. And if I'm honest with myself, that's not always how I've been. I try to do more of

00:15:31.280 that in my life, but I usually and typically seem to choose the path of least resistance. And I think

00:15:36.440 a lot of us do that. It's easy. How do you decide what to experiment with out of all of the millions

00:15:43.080 and infinite number of options and choices you have? How do you decide, hey, I'm going to try

00:15:47.800 this thing. It's wild. It's crazy, but I'm going to do it. Well, there's a couple of different ones.

00:15:51.780 There's the fun category, which is just like I have a really wise homie, Ben Greenfield, for example,

00:15:56.900 he has the Ben Greenfield podcast, an incredible buyer hacker, just an encyclopedia of knowledge on

00:16:02.220 the human body. And he'll talk to me about some stuff. He convinced me to do this shockwave therapy

00:16:06.880 for my dick in Florida. And it was just this it was a lot of laughs. And it was about how by using 0.99

00:16:12.740 these compressed sonic waves and they actually have this gun, it's like a sound tattoo gun, and they

00:16:18.300 just pound pound it on your genitals that it creates new vascularity and it creates new pathways of 1.00

00:16:25.180 blood flow. And it's great for sexual health and libido and everything. And I was like, yeah, 0.96

00:16:29.500 man, fuck it. We'll try that. Like, no worries. Like, that's just go wrong. Yeah, that's just in 1.00

00:16:34.880 the fun category, you know, or something that Kyle Kingsbury, our director of human optimization here,

00:16:39.720 he'll have some idea. And I'm like, yeah, sure, man, I'll I'll give that a go. And it's just kind

00:16:43.320 of the curiosity and just kind of the playful curiosity of it. And then there's the other things

00:16:49.120 where it's something that I'm scared of. And if I'm scared of it, but I realized I'm not scared

00:16:54.080 because of actual danger, I'm just scared because it's something that frightens me,

00:16:58.960 then that's a great sign that I need to move towards that thing. So, you know, I use both

00:17:04.580 my natural curiosity and some aspects, and then I use fear as an ally to tell me what I need to point

00:17:10.940 myself towards. I like that you talk about discernment because I think it's very difficult

00:17:15.560 on a primal level for us to distinguish between what will kill us and what's just going to push us

00:17:21.320 outside of our comfort zone a little bit. Yeah, it is. And it isn't because I think deep down,

00:17:26.180 we know what is fear and what is self-preservation. And I think, for example, like grabbing a random

00:17:33.560 spider that you haven't identified with your bare hands, that's dangerous. Like, don't do that.

00:17:38.940 Like, we know that that's stupid, you know, or like if there's a snake that you can't identify, 0.99

00:17:43.940 don't catch it unless you're like a master snake catcher. Like, but if it's a cockroach that you want 0.99

00:17:49.500 to grab with your hand and let out of your house or a cricket and you know what that thing is,

00:17:53.620 but you're squeamish like a little squealing schoolgirl, then you know that's fear. That's

00:17:59.080 just plain old fear. It's not self-preservation. It's just some pattern that you have in your head.

00:18:05.000 And that's a sign, okay, this is fear, fear in capital F fear, isolated from self-preservation.

00:18:11.880 And I need to go after that thing and I need to tackle that thing and get to the other side.

00:18:16.300 It makes total sense. It's funny that you bring up Ben Greenfield too. Him and I talked,

00:18:20.700 we're actually going hunting in April. And I was thinking about that because I think he did

00:18:25.080 an article or something for men's health or fitness magazine or one of these.

00:18:29.480 About that same thing.

00:18:31.160 Yeah. And I'm like, I'm not zapping my balls when we go hunting. Like, 0.98

00:18:34.280 I just want to go hunting and enjoy that as opposed to some of these experiments he runs.

00:18:37.980 He doesn't do the zapping himself. He doesn't do the zapping.

00:18:40.420 Well, that's good. That's good. I didn't want to be doing that to each other. You know,

00:18:43.680 that's even worse than having it done. So you just, you make the sound with your mouth.

00:18:48.860 That's how it works. If he tries to convince you that he's lying. But he did trick me into doing

00:18:54.340 this. He was like, Oh yeah, there's this really attractive nurse. And you know, it's this really

00:18:58.940 nice process. I was like, man, this sounds like somewhere between biohacking and like a,

00:19:03.560 I don't know, some kind of spa or something like that. I was like, this sounds lovely.

00:19:07.160 And that was not the case. I had like, you know, a small Cuban man who just kind of 1.00

00:19:12.960 lathered me up with numbing cream and just started firing away. And it was like, I had a nail gun

00:19:18.260 on the other side, but you know, ultimately I'm not going to do that again, but do I regret it?

00:19:23.120 Hell no. I'm happy to have that experience. It's a funny story. You know, it had some moderate benefit

00:19:28.340 and all good. You know, I'll chalk that up to a cool experiment that I get to tell that story and

00:19:34.280 have some laughs about. Well, let's shift gears here a little bit. I want to break down how this

00:19:39.320 book is laid out. So you talk in each of the chapters, you go through segments. So the first

00:19:43.860 part of this is getting owned. And I know what this is like, man. And I know that everybody

00:19:47.660 listening knows what this is like, knows that when life has them versus they having life,

00:19:52.820 if that makes sense. So you have that, then you have owning it. Then you have the prescription,

00:19:56.780 which makes total sense. And this is the tactical portion of the book that we talked about.

00:20:00.780 And then now going out and doing it. Why did you decide to break it down this way?

00:20:04.280 That came later on in the process. I mean, at first it was just kind of a homogenous chunk

00:20:08.300 of information. And as you, I wrote it and I rewrote it and I rewrote it. I mean, I must

00:20:12.840 have rewrote this book seven times with the help of my editor, Neil Sparker. And that was

00:20:17.240 a really challenging, but beautiful process. And just understanding how I could get this information

00:20:22.440 across the best way and owning it is the opportunity for me to open up and admit all the times that

00:20:28.560 I've gotten owned and all the cases where other famous people and the people I work with,

00:20:33.620 how they've gotten known and how we're just like everybody else. We've all had the pop tarts

00:20:38.680 when we were kids. We've all done the silly things that we do that are not helpful for our life and

00:20:45.460 how easy it is to fall into those patterns. And it's just, it's the opportunity to say, Hey,

00:20:49.980 we're no different. We're not superheroes because we do this stuff. We're absolutely the same. We've just

00:20:56.180 made different choices. And then we switch from getting owned to owning it, which is the process

00:21:02.340 of reversing those patterns and making the right choices. And then narrowing that down to the very

00:21:08.140 specific prescriptions. Like, all right, all right, I got it. I got to do this thing. I got to eat,

00:21:13.120 you know, a higher fat, higher protein, higher fiber, lower carbohydrate, lower sugar breakfast.

00:21:18.500 Got it. Prescription. What does that look like? All right. Well, it looks like, you know,

00:21:22.840 this many eggs, this amount of spinach, this amount of bone broth. That's one option. Or maybe

00:21:26.600 a smoothie that looks like this. That's another option. So prescription gets really detailed. So

00:21:31.640 it's like the don't make me think section. Which is good. That's the section I liked. I'm like,

00:21:36.700 perfect. Just give it to me. I'll do it. I will execute. Exactly. Exactly. And then the last one is,

00:21:41.900 you know, if we did a fraction of the stuff that we know we should do, we would all be fucking rock 0.98

00:21:48.320 stars. We all know so much more that we should be doing, but we don't do it. 0.76

00:21:52.840 So the now do it section that covers the natural objections that we might have

00:21:57.780 towards preventing us from actually doing these things. So doing some of the new things that we've

00:22:02.420 learned and also just doing some of the things that we already know that we should. So now do it's

00:22:07.760 that moment to say, Hey, I get it. This is the resistance that's going to come up. This is how

00:22:12.340 you overcome that. This is the way that you think about it. And this is the way that you make sure you

00:22:16.120 actually implement these things that you just learned.

00:22:18.560 Why do you think there is such a big disconnect? And I've noticed this too, personally,

00:22:23.040 and through the men that we work with that I think for the most part, and there's a lot of

00:22:27.420 information in here that I didn't know that we're going to get to here in a minute. But I think for

00:22:31.120 the most part, a lot of people know, okay, I know I need to do this. And yet for whatever reason,

00:22:35.680 there's still that disconnect between what we know and what we do. Why does that exist?

00:22:39.480 You know, why, when you're playing a video game, are there always monsters around for you to fight?

00:22:45.280 You know what I mean? It's like resistance is just a part of this experience. And the only way to

00:22:51.000 really experience resistance, you can't externalize all resistance. You know, that's literally a video

00:22:55.900 game. This is life. And in life, the resistance generally comes from within. It's that obstacle

00:23:02.380 placed before you that you need to overcome so that you can grow so that you can sharpen your sword.

00:23:08.120 It's just the way that the body works. You put weights on the bar and you lift them and it's

00:23:12.700 hard. Your muscles break down and they grow stronger. You push yourself into cold water,

00:23:17.380 your body adapts to the stress and it grows stronger from it. You know, all of these things,

00:23:21.440 these adaptations for resistance, that is the absolute process by which all things move forward.

00:23:28.280 And it's kind of a universal law. And I think we forget that that process isn't just these external

00:23:34.120 things like hot or cold or weight or effort or exertion. It's the internal processes too that

00:23:40.200 are honing our psyche. It's honing our willpower, honing our toughness. So it's just there. That

00:23:46.140 resistance is just fucking there. It's real. And it's our job to use that as the grindstone to 0.99

00:23:52.580 sharpen our sword.

00:23:54.020 Yeah, you make up a really good point because I think what a lot of guys will do is they'll try to

00:23:58.320 ignore the fact that the resistance is there or pretend that it doesn't exist at all. And then

00:24:04.060 it blindsides them rather than, Hey, I acknowledge that this is hard. I acknowledge that I don't want

00:24:09.460 to do this right now. And I think just acknowledging it and then driving forward anyways is probably the

00:24:14.320 best course of action.

00:24:15.580 Yeah, agreed. And just knowing like you can thank your resistance, like, Oh, thanks. This is hard. So

00:24:21.260 that means that this will be valuable for me. That means that I'll get something out of this.

00:24:25.120 Sure. And it's just a shift in mentality. When you master those things that are currently hard,

00:24:31.060 guess what? You'll find other things that are more advanced that are even harder. And then you

00:24:36.160 conquer those. And that is the path to mastery. And that's the path of mastery. So that when you

00:24:40.740 go meet Lance Armstrong or Tim Kennedy or one of these guys and you look them in the eye,

00:24:46.080 they'll read that on you. They'll see that in your character, in your soul. It'll be like, Oh,

00:24:50.000 this is the guy who's consistently come up against resistance and consistently done his best to

00:24:56.460 overcome it.

00:24:57.940 That's a really good point. That actually goes back to the answer that you were talking about

00:25:01.380 earlier is how do you connect with men of the caliber that you've been able to surround yourself

00:25:05.560 with? And I think they do. They see that, right? And a strong man can recognize weakness and a strong

00:25:10.720 man can also recognize strength as well.

00:25:13.000 No doubt. No doubt. And it's not in the body, although the body can be a reflection of your of

00:25:18.160 your character, but it can also be a compensation for lack. And I think, you know, a discernment in

00:25:24.280 real wisdom, people can generally see that because we've all seen the super swole guy who's super 1.00

00:25:30.360 insecure and he uses his swoleness and his big ass truck with his big ass pipes as an opportunity to 0.98

00:25:36.400 project the solution to the fears that he feels inside. And that's easy to read as well. It's not that 0.99

00:25:42.700 being swole or having a big ass truck is a problem. It's just why you're doing it. Are you 0.99

00:25:47.180 doing this to compensate? Are you doing it just because you like being swole and you like big 0.89

00:25:50.440 ass trucks? Sure. That's the key there. And you can't fake it. You can't fake it with your 0.99

00:25:55.280 external appearance. You can't fake it with anything. You got to really do the work. You got to go into

00:25:59.520 the darkness. So how did you decide there's I don't know, I didn't count them, but there's probably

00:26:04.380 15 to 20 unique things that you can be doing on a daily basis. How did you narrow it down to these

00:26:10.940 select few that you chose to put in this book? Well, you know, there's 16 chapters and roughly,

00:26:15.620 you know, we have roughly 16 waking hours. It doesn't go hour by hour, but I kind of liked

00:26:20.740 that symmetry of there's 16 waking hours in the day. There's 16 chapters. This is what an average

00:26:26.600 weekday for the average person might look like. This is a day that you could repeat over and over

00:26:31.080 and over again. So it includes the commute to work. It includes the processes at work. It includes

00:26:36.380 the training in the day, sex, all of the different things that might happen, connection with

00:26:40.660 your family, you know, connection with your friends, all the things that you would want

00:26:44.340 in a duplicable, you know, repeatable, complete own day. You know, it just kind of laid out in

00:26:51.420 that process. And, you know, I really tried to be as comprehensive as possible. You know,

00:26:55.720 this isn't one of those special, like there's days where you fast and you're preparing for ceremony.

00:27:00.440 Well, that day is an aberration. You know, you have those days 0.2% of the time, you know,

00:27:06.040 or there'll be a competition day where all you have to worry about is competition. You know,

00:27:09.600 again, that's 0.2% of the days in your life. We didn't cover these special circumstance days,

00:27:15.380 although a lot of these practices would apply. This is the everyday day. You know, this is the

00:27:19.900 day that most people are going to be repeating over and over again. So that's what we really

00:27:24.800 wanted to cover. Guys, by now you've heard me talk about our three and a half day experience in

00:27:30.520 the mountains of Southern Utah, but the question remains, have you signed up yet? This will be our

00:27:36.320 third uprising experience. And again, it's designed to push and test you on every facet of your life.

00:27:41.900 As of this recording, we have less than 10 spots remaining, and we'd be honored to have you out.

00:27:46.760 But not only that, this will literally transform your life. We are all a collection of our thoughts,

00:27:53.020 our behaviors, our patterns, our experiences. And if you have any hope of producing a new type of

00:27:58.300 result in your life, you're going to have to create new experiences. So at the uprising,

00:28:02.960 we'll be doing physical challenges, team competitions, survival training, medical training,

00:28:08.360 and so much more, all designed to give you a new frame of reference for succeeding in your life.

00:28:14.480 Again, if you're interested three and a half days, May 3rd through the 6th, 2018, you get to Las Vegas.

00:28:20.760 We'll take care of the rest. Head to orderofman.com slash uprising. You can get some of the details

00:28:26.120 there. And of course, lock in your spot orderofman.com slash uprising. And we hope to see you there.

00:28:31.700 Now let's finish up the conversation with Aubrey.

00:28:35.580 Well, let's break some of these down. And obviously, just for the sake of time,

00:28:38.340 we can't get to all of them. But what I want to do is I want to extract the ones that stood out to

00:28:42.940 me that were a little different than even I thought about going into this. The first one that comes to

00:28:47.920 mind for me is the subject of eating a weird lunch. And you started that chapter off with your food as

00:28:53.780 a kid was the double Western Western cheeseburger, which is like, dude, this guy's speaking my language

00:28:59.620 right now, which I could actually go for one of those right now as we talk about this. But

00:29:03.880 talk to me about weird lunch. What do you mean by that?

00:29:07.940 There's like 12 foods that comprise like 90% of the Western diet. And that leads to a lot of

00:29:15.200 problems. Because in general, you know, we're scavengers that are hunting and going out eating,

00:29:20.360 not just the steak part of the animal, not just the backstrap, you know, or not just the

00:29:26.220 haunches like we eat now and most of our ground beef and most of our steak, but we would eat the

00:29:30.960 organ meats, the liver, the kidneys, we would eat all of the different parts, we'd boil the bones and

00:29:37.240 get the marrow out, we would consume the animal in its entirety, certainly not separating out the fat.

00:29:43.860 I mean, the fat was coveted, right? And then all of the things that we would forage weird herbs and

00:29:48.860 berries and tart things and bitter things and anything that we could get our hands salt was obviously

00:29:55.200 super prized. And that's how we are best served as a human being. But it's real easy to just get

00:30:02.560 bread, which is basically wheat with mix with some sugar, and then add some add some meat,

00:30:09.280 which is just a basic kind of protein. Oftentimes, if you got a lunch meat, it's going to be cured.

00:30:14.980 And it's engineered anyways, engineered, cured in a bunch of chemicals that you don't really want,

00:30:19.500 like nitrates and nitrites. And so we'll have the same thing over and over and over again. And that

00:30:26.360 ends up weakening our gut microbiome and ends up weakening our immune system. It creates nutritional

00:30:31.020 deficiencies. So the weirder the variety of food that you can eat, the better off you're going to be

00:30:36.980 not only for your gut biome health, and there's some great studies in there for that, but just for

00:30:40.940 your overall covering your nutritional basis. The body is like, think of it like a home improvement

00:30:46.100 store. If your body's your home, you need to stock the shelves with all the different tools

00:30:50.500 so that when your body needs that thing, that enzyme to make that chemical reaction, that vitamin,

00:30:55.020 that mineral, it can go to the shelf and it can find it. And if it doesn't find it, the body's

00:30:59.200 creative. It'll use duct tape and a caulk gun and it'll figure it out, but it's not going to be the

00:31:04.060 optimal solution. So the weirder the lunch you can eat, the better off you're going to be supplying

00:31:08.560 your body with those nutrients. I think the argument to this, and whether it's valid or not is

00:31:14.060 irrelevant, I still think it's the argument, is that it's just not convenient and that it's more

00:31:19.200 convenient to eat the junk that we know we shouldn't be eating. Do you find that to be true?

00:31:23.980 Well, it depends on how you define convenience. You know, like, is it convenient to be sick?

00:31:30.560 Like, how inconvenient is it to be sick? Pretty fucking inconvenient. 0.99

00:31:34.640 Absolutely. 0.97

00:31:35.260 And at the point that you're sick, like if you had to say, if you had to say, all right,

00:31:38.580 all I had to do was go back in time and spend an extra five minutes a day with a simple meal prep

00:31:45.760 or make a few different choices in my lunch. And I could do that and I wouldn't be sick right now.

00:31:51.540 And that's all I had to do. Every one of us would be like, yes, I'm in, I'll take that deal.

00:31:56.440 But we don't do that proactively. We would do that retrospectively and be like, yeah, for sure I'd do

00:32:02.360 that. But proactively, we have the opportunity to do that all the time. There are people who just don't

00:32:08.140 get sick. Like Paul Cech, you meet that guy, he just hasn't gotten sick in the last 20 years. Why?

00:32:14.840 Because proactively he's making really good fucking choices all the time. And that's the type of person 0.99

00:32:21.300 that we can be, but we have to do it in a proactive manner, not in a reactive manner. Like, oh man,

00:32:26.040 I'm feeling like shit or oh man, I'm super sluggish or oh man, I'm in pain or I'm sick. That stuff is 0.99

00:32:31.620 the stuff that's really inconvenient. Yeah, it's easier to get a sandwich maybe from Subway than to go

00:32:37.960 out to your local kind of fresh place or your salad bar and put a bunch of weird shit into a salad. 0.98

00:32:44.540 It is easier to do that. I'm not going to argue with that, but you pay the price later. And so a 0.99

00:32:50.260 little bit of time and a little bit of care is going to make up a big difference later.

00:32:55.440 So I know we're going to bounce around a lot here and I wish that we could focus on one thing,

00:32:59.180 but I want to bounce around because I want to cover as much ground as we possibly can. And guys,

00:33:02.260 as you're listening to this, just go get the book because there's so much more than we can talk

00:33:05.820 about right now. And I'm only covering a very narrow section of what we're talking about here,

00:33:10.700 but I want to move into training. So I've been following you and on it for probably four or five

00:33:17.320 years now. And one thing that's always, always stood out to me is you guys have a lot of fun

00:33:22.640 in the way that you train from battle ropes to kettlebells and sandbags and maces and all your

00:33:28.980 functional movement stuff, which I think I just watched a video that you partnered with,

00:33:34.200 with JP Sears on functional movement. I think it was such a funny video. Anyways,

00:33:40.580 talk to me about this unconventional approach that you are taking to your training.

00:33:46.700 We're really just looking at the body and then adapting training to it. I think really it's gone

00:33:51.960 the other way, you know, where people have had a training style and then tried to force the body

00:33:56.780 to adapt to it. And I think that's the way with a lot of Olympic lifts. It's like, well, we figured

00:34:01.160 out how to make these things called barbells and now let's figure out things that the human can do

00:34:07.580 with the barbells. So it's actually gone backwards. Whereas these other tools, it's more like, all

00:34:12.720 right, let's figure out how the human body works and then let's find tools that actually work with

00:34:18.220 the human body to be optimal. Now it's not that barbell movement isn't a part of our platform. It is,

00:34:23.040 but it's about using those tools in a way that works with the body versus forcing the body to adapt to

00:34:29.620 something that the body really doesn't want to do and can cause the body to break down faster and

00:34:34.980 actually be deleterious to total overall strength and durability rather than building that strong

00:34:40.780 foundation. Cause most of us don't need to be at this incredible peak level of fitness. We just need

00:34:47.840 to be able to move around. We need to be able to not be out of breath when we have sex or run around

00:34:51.860 with our kids or play with our dog. You know, we need to be able to fight off someone if we absolutely

00:34:56.700 have to, or run away from something. If we need to, we need basic stuff to really explore and live

00:35:02.180 this life the way we want. And I think the unconventional tools are not only great for

00:35:06.860 that, they're ideal for that. They're also ideal for people who are competing in conditions that

00:35:11.120 have changing landscapes. Like no NFL player is ever going to get in a position where all they have to

00:35:16.700 do is lift weight straight from the bottom, straight to the top. It's all balanced weight and

00:35:21.940 everything else. Yeah, of course. Exactly. It's all going to be at obtuse angles and weird

00:35:25.560 stress points. And that's why these rotational exercises, these off balance tools like the mace

00:35:30.840 are really helpful at mimicking real world conditions. Yeah. I know this is a funny example,

00:35:35.680 but it almost reminds me of the, of Rocky versus Drago, right? Where he's the way that they're

00:35:40.420 training in the gym is one's very calculated and the other's like, I'm just going to use what I have

00:35:44.220 and what's available. Right? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And you know, there's a time and a place for both.

00:35:49.520 And I think, you know, on it is that kind of one of those rare melting pots where all of that can

00:35:54.900 come together in the same place. Certainly a steady diet of unconventional fitness is really what we

00:36:01.660 found to be most effective. Let's move into the idea of a power nap. Cause I think that a lot of

00:36:07.300 people have heard how productive this can actually be, but I think very few people are actually doing

00:36:11.260 this, including myself. Sometimes it's just hard, you know, I've got a lot to do. And so for me to take

00:36:15.240 five or 10 or whatever minutes to do that is a difficult thing for sure.

00:36:19.520 Yeah, there's a couple of really costly myths that we've been told. And one of those myths is

00:36:25.700 that dietary fat is bad for you. Another myth is that you need eight hours of sleep a night.

00:36:30.720 If we follow those things, we're going to be fucked up for different reasons. You know, for one 0.97

00:36:35.840 on a nutritional basis, obviously subbing in sugar and subbing out dietary fat has caused probably the

00:36:42.440 biggest health epidemic of our, of our lives. The other one actually is super counterproductive for

00:36:48.140 probably the biggest miracle drug we have available as humans, which is sleep because it's tries to

00:36:54.660 force us to get all of our sleep at one time at night. And that's not something that a lot of us

00:37:00.880 are even capable of doing. Now we should try to optimize that. And I put in practices to help you

00:37:05.700 get the most sleep you can at night, but it's not realistic. And it's, if you look back ancestrally,

00:37:10.700 if you look back across the world, this idea of this monophasic sleep, getting all your sleep at once,

00:37:15.960 it's really something that, you know, you don't find all over the place ubiquitously. You find a

00:37:21.560 lot of cultures who break up their sleep into different patterns, take a lot of naps, the siesta

00:37:26.020 model. And when you look at the research that pans out to be actually more valuable than even

00:37:32.780 increasing your amount of overnight sleep. So when they studied the difference between getting more

00:37:38.600 sleep at night, having a cup of coffee or taking a 30 minute power nap, the nap wins hands down every

00:37:46.300 time as far as mental alertness, energy across the board. But nonetheless, we kind of shit on naps and 0.99

00:37:52.680 naps are for lazy people and who has time when you're dead and all that stuff. Yeah. Well, that 0.99

00:37:56.500 attitude is going to get you dead a lot faster. And also just take some of the pressure off because

00:38:01.320 we've all had those nights where we get five hours and then we've all read all the things that

00:38:05.120 happen to you when you don't get enough sleep and we feel it. We're like, oh, I'm screwed for today.

00:38:09.080 Today it comes today. Today's blown. And that puts so much pressure on us when we're going to sleep 0.84

00:38:12.920 and it puts pressure on us when we wake up. But if you look at that and say, instead of eight hours

00:38:17.160 of sleep a night, well, I just need 35 sleep cycles a week. And one nap counts as one point on those

00:38:22.280 cycles. And a sleep cycle is about 90 minutes. So if I got six hours at night, that's cool. That's about

00:38:28.120 four cycles. And then I can pick up a 30 minute power nap in the day. That'll give me five cycles. I'm

00:38:31.720 right on track. But let's say I got less than that. Let's say I got four and a half hours of

00:38:35.840 sleep. Well, that's only three cycles. I'll take one power nap today. That'll put me at four. And

00:38:40.380 then tomorrow, hopefully I'll get seven and a half hours of sleep and one nap and that'll get me at

00:38:45.020 six. And then I'll be at 10 and then I'll be right on track for my 35 a week. So it's just taking the

00:38:49.880 pressure off and using naps as a tool to make up ground and really not have to just keep jamming more

00:38:56.640 caffeine and more stress and more pressure and just saying, Hey, just take a load off. Relax.

00:39:03.060 I like this because I see what a lot of guys do. And what I've done in the past is we wear this

00:39:09.320 idea of busyness as a badge of honor. Like, Oh man, I'm really busy. And they do it with a smile.

00:39:15.060 And it's like, well, I don't know if I want to be busy as much as I want to be effective and

00:39:19.620 efficient and have time to do what is also fulfilling for me, which is, you know, playing

00:39:24.440 baseball with my kids or rolling around, around on the ground and wrestling with my dog. Those

00:39:28.860 things are important as well, but we don't wear those quite with the same badge of honor that we

00:39:32.260 do as busyness. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. Yeah. It's a weird thing. You know, this, this pride in

00:39:38.520 working in Japanese culture, there's this phenomenon called Karoshi. It's a form of suicide in which a 0.80

00:39:45.520 Japanese businessman will die from overworking and die right there at his desk. You know, and I make the 1.00

00:39:51.740 joke in the book that when it comes to honorable suicide, no one fucks with the Japanese. That's 1.00

00:39:56.380 like an art they've mastered, but it's, it's tragic. They're trying to show their commitment

00:40:00.640 to the company and their commitment, the working man's ethos, this kind of modern Bushido by literally

00:40:06.580 working themselves to death at their desk. It's a weird type of thing that we've developed that

00:40:12.060 that's part of, you know, our modern warrior ethos, but it's misguided. It's not about the time

00:40:17.880 and effort and burning yourself up because your work product's going to be shit. It's about doing 0.99

00:40:22.660 the right amount so that you're producing excellent work and you have the flexibility of mind and

00:40:27.960 thought to keep that sustained and also to live a dope life. Yeah. Well, we're bumping up against

00:40:34.420 time just for the sake of being a little bit more fulfilling on this. I just want to talk a real

00:40:39.900 briefly and just maybe cover some of these other points. I mean, we've got hydrate power, shower,

00:40:43.900 polar plunge, reset and reconnect dinner, like a King more and better sex, turning off, tuning in

00:40:49.740 all of these topics are so important. And I wish we could get to all of them. We can't just for the

00:40:53.480 sake of time, but guys, again, I mean, it's just a powerful book and so much good information in here.

00:40:57.980 Aubrey, as we wind down, is there anything that I should have asked you that I didn't,

00:41:01.720 or a topic that you feel like is worthy of covering? No, you know, I mean, the book really

00:41:06.420 tries to run the full spectrum. I just encourage people to, you know, check out the webpage,

00:41:11.300 ownthedaybook.com. We're going to be offering a video companion to the book and a couple other

00:41:16.360 different products that help guide you along with that. And I just encourage people to check it out.

00:41:21.300 I can really with all confidence say that there's not a person who could read this book and not have

00:41:27.320 it benefit their life in some way. Right on. Well, as we wind down and I did prepare you a little bit

00:41:32.460 for this is the question, what does it mean to be a man? You know, I think I recall the answer I gave

00:41:37.800 last time and I still stand by that answer. But when I look at the symbols of being a man now,

00:41:44.660 I look at a symbol that's an ancient symbol from Eastern religion. It's the symbol of Shiva.

00:41:49.600 And the symbol of Shiva is, he's a male God represented that way. And he's lying on his back

00:41:56.860 in a lot of depictions. And Kali or Shakti is dancing on his chest and she's wild with wild hair

00:42:04.880 and has the heads of men. And Shiva is just non-reactively kind of looking at her and smiling.

00:42:12.600 And it's this ultimate peace and surrender to your own actual power. And I think that's a really

00:42:20.060 beautiful symbol for manhood. There's a time when you need to be like Tim Kennedy and be

00:42:25.420 an outright actual hero and actually step in and do some physical work. But most of the time,

00:42:32.100 the most powerful thing you can do is no matter what the chaos is going on, is just peacefully send

00:42:38.120 love to all sides there. Because you're not threatened. You're not triggered. You're not

00:42:42.520 insecure. You're not compelled to action. You don't need to show anybody anything. You see the truth

00:42:48.700 beyond all of these egoic cries for help and these look at me's and these claims of victim. You see the

00:42:56.060 truth beyond all that. You stay non-reactive in your love and acceptance of those things because

00:43:01.900 you know really who you are. And I think that's the essence of the best that a man can bring to the

00:43:08.500 table. Very cool. Very cool. Very powerful stuff. Well, Aubrey, outside of ownthedaybook.com,

00:43:14.860 outside of that, anywhere else that we need to connect with you? Yeah, just check me out

00:44:02.200 showing up, man. Thanks for joining us today. Yeah. I appreciate you too, brother. Thank you, man.

00:44:06.960 Gentlemen, there it is my conversation with Aubrey Marcus, founder of on it. And of course,

00:44:11.000 the author of own the day, own your life. I have read the book. It is an amazing, amazing read,

00:44:17.100 very practical, very insightful. And I'm trying to implement as much as I can in my own life,

00:44:23.640 which I will say is a little bit overwhelming because there's so much valuable information in

00:44:27.880 here. So do yourself a favor, go out, buy the book, get the book, implement what you can. And I

00:44:33.280 think you'll see some major, major transformations in your life. I hope that you enjoyed this episode.

00:44:38.120 If you did guys do both me and Aubrey, a favor head to our social media accounts on Instagram,

00:44:44.480 Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, wherever you may be with regards to social media and let us know what

00:44:49.100 you thought. It's really important. I want to know what you thought. And also, if you would leave us

00:44:53.820 a rating and review, leave an iTunes rating and review, let us know what you think about the show,

00:44:58.020 especially if it's serving you well. We want to hear that stuff. And of course we want to spread

00:45:01.700 the message of order of men. Now I came up with those three announcements. I just want to reiterate

00:45:06.280 what those three announcements were at the beginning of the show. Number one is the store

00:45:09.880 hats, shirts, patches, battle planners, journals. Again, you name it, we've got it over there.

00:45:15.720 Store.orderofman.com. Second, we've got the iron council, which is an exclusive band of brothers,

00:45:22.180 all working together to transform our lives in the relationships that we have, our fitness,

00:45:27.680 our bank accounts, our business, our lives in general. And if you want a track to run on a proven

00:45:32.860 track to run on and you want some accountability and a band of brothers, this is the perfect place

00:45:37.920 to do it. Orderofman.com slash iron council. And third, I'm not going to be mentioning this much

00:45:42.980 more because we are filling up these spots. So again, we've got 10 spots for the third annual

00:45:47.980 order of man uprising, which again is a three and a half day experience in the mountains of Southern

00:45:52.240 Utah, May 3rd through the 6th, 2018. You can go to orderofman.com slash uprising to claim one of those

00:45:59.960 last 10 spots. I hope to see you there. With that said, guys, I am going to sign out for today.

00:46:05.480 I appreciate you. I'm glad that you're on this journey. We need to stand shoulder to shoulder.

00:46:10.200 It seems more and more masculinity is being dismissed. And I think we're going to run across

00:46:14.400 some real, some very real problems moving forward. If we don't find a way to reverse the trend of

00:46:20.180 dismissal of masculinity. And that's what I'm working so hard to do. And I'm glad that you're on

00:46:24.380 the journey with me. So again, shoulder to shoulder, please share the episode, let the guys in your

00:46:28.360 life know what we're all about and ask them to join in this fight until Friday, take action and become

00:46:34.440 the man you are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the order of man podcast. You're ready to take

00:46:40.780 charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant to be. We invite you to join the order
