Transcript
00:00:00.000
You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart
00:00:04.980
your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.
00:00:10.460
You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who
00:00:17.220
you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.820
you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler.
00:00:27.540
I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man movement. I want to welcome you
00:00:32.220
here, welcome you back. All the same things I say every single week, but regardless, I am glad that
00:00:38.560
you're here. Now, if you're watching this via YouTube, you might be looking at my hat and
00:00:42.660
thinking, what is different with Ryan? He's wearing a beanie instead of an Order of Man hat. That's
00:00:48.240
right, because for the first time ever, we have the new Order of Man beanies in stock. You can go
00:00:53.780
check it out at store.orderofman.com. We're a great way to support us and what we're doing.
00:01:00.060
And also, as I'm recording this, this is our very first snowstorm of the season. So if I were to look
00:01:07.440
just right outside of my window here, I'd see about three or four inches of snow and it hasn't let up
00:01:13.380
all day. And we are officially in winter weather here in Maine. Now, guys, I want to talk with you.
00:01:20.320
I have no notes. Typically, I make some notes and my thoughts are very collected with regards to what
00:01:28.160
I want to talk with you about today. It's a little bit different today. Before I get into that,
00:01:33.460
I do want to express my gratitude towards my friends and show sponsors over at Origin Maine. Now,
00:01:42.100
these guys make jujitsu and rash guards and lifestyle apparel and denim and boots and the joint warfare
00:01:52.380
that I take from my aching joints and their pre-workout and their discipline and their cognitive
00:01:59.260
enhancer, which is called Discipline Go. I like their Sour Apple Sniper. I also like Dave Burks
00:02:06.660
after, what is it called? I think it's called Afterburner Orange or something like that.
00:02:12.540
You guys can go check it out. Go check it out at Origin Maine, as in the state,
00:02:17.520
Maine, originmain.com and use the code order at checkout. I believe if you're listening to this
00:02:23.900
on Black Friday, which is the day it's released that you're going to get a 24, don't quote me,
00:02:29.940
but I believe it's a 24% discount for the next 24 hours over at Origin Maine. Use the code order
00:02:38.000
at checkout. Actually, you don't even need to use the code if you're using this for Black Friday,
00:02:43.580
because you're going to get a better discount than what I can offer you. So just go over to
00:02:46.940
Origin Maine, check it out, see what they have to offer. You guys will not be disappointed.
00:02:51.380
Guys, a little different today, outside of me wearing a beanie instead of a hat,
00:02:56.060
I wanted to just, just tell you, thank you. I know it's, it's in vogue, right? As we're coming
00:03:05.320
off the back of Thanksgiving to tell you, thank you, to express our gratitude. But I think there's
00:03:11.100
power in expressing gratitude. We're acknowledging what's working. We're acknowledging what's going
00:03:16.960
well. We're acknowledging the hand of others that have a part to play in the growth and the
00:03:22.620
progression and the enhancement of our lives. And I've certainly recognized, and I want to
00:03:26.860
acknowledge that in you. I started the Order of Man podcast and movement in 2015. So we're almost
00:03:36.120
on six years in March. It'll be six years, which is crazy to think about. And guys, I never would
00:03:43.240
have imagined that we would grow and we would become this international movement that we become
00:03:49.760
to reclaim and restore masculinity. Now, not everybody's on board. Not everybody believes
00:03:55.820
in what we believe. Not everybody believes that there's certainly a dismissal of masculinity. But
00:04:00.500
for those of you who do, and those of you who are banded with us, we're doing great work. We're
00:04:05.580
doing important work. We're salvaging the lives of men, which in turn will save families and businesses
00:04:12.500
and communities. And it's apparent to me that in society today, in spite of all the amazing things
00:04:18.980
that we have going on in society that men are needed now more than ever. I firmly believe
00:04:28.900
that there's some overreach of the government happening. I'm not going to get into the COVID
00:04:33.600
argument and debate with you right now. You can go back and listen to previous podcasts and check
00:04:37.600
that out. But, but I do believe that the response is overreaching and overarching and frankly,
00:04:43.100
inappropriate. I believe that because we live in such a free and prosperous time that it's believed
00:04:53.180
either consciously or subconsciously that men and masculinity are not needed that. And the only reason
00:05:02.080
we can say that and even think that possibly think that is because men have created this incredible
00:05:07.140
environment where there's freedom and life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And it's strong
00:05:14.000
and courageous and bold men who have afforded us those luxuries. And so it's critical and it's crucial now,
00:05:21.540
potentially more than ever, that we as men learn how to lead ourselves first in our families and our
00:05:26.760
businesses and communities. And I just want to thank you as an expression of my gratitude.
00:05:31.860
Sorry, I've got something in my throat today, but it's an expression of my gratitude
00:05:37.620
to let you know that this, this, this mission and this thing, I can't think of a better term,
00:05:46.160
but this thing that we're doing here with order of man could not possibly happen without you.
00:05:51.000
You guys have interacted, you've engaged, you've shared, you've explained your positions,
00:05:56.140
you've agreed, you've disagreed, you've done it respectfully. You've, you've, you've challenged me,
00:06:01.660
you've helped me improve indirectly as a man. You've encouraged me to continue to lead my family.
00:06:07.360
Well, you've encouraged me to continue to drive on with this mission. You've encouraged me through
00:06:12.680
your words and your deeds and your actions that the mission and the message that we're sharing here,
00:06:18.300
that of reclaiming and restoring masculinity is crucial. And that the value that we're adding
00:06:23.960
and enhancing to your life is noted and it's applied. And as I get messages from you who have taken back
00:06:34.660
control of your fitness, who have reclaimed your role as the patriarch of your family,
00:06:41.580
that you've gotten yourself out of debt and you've salvaged your marriage and you've reconnected
00:06:48.880
with your kids and you've developed that quote unquote X factor that most people won't recognize
00:06:55.840
as confidence through the actions that you've taken over the past year. And over the past years,
00:07:01.800
you've proven to me that this is valuable that above and beyond the business. And this is a business.
00:07:11.220
I make no qualms about it. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm for profit business. I'm trying to add value to you.
00:07:16.580
I'm trying to get you to acknowledge and recognize that there is extreme value in what we're offering,
00:07:21.880
whether that's a beanie, like I'm wearing today or a shirt or the iron council or the book that I wrote
00:07:27.620
that whatever you decide to acknowledge through your pocketbook and purchasing these courses and
00:07:35.480
this merchandise and the programs and the things that we offer that you feel like you're getting
00:07:40.000
more in return. That's my goal. And isn't that the goal of all men, or shouldn't it be the goal of all
00:07:45.420
men that we add value to our interactions and our relationships and the interactions and
00:07:50.620
conversations and podcasts and everything that we're doing on a daily basis, that we add more
00:07:55.580
value. I was walking around the other day with my son as we were hunting and we saw some trash.
00:08:01.220
And I said, let's pick that trash up. And we picked it up and threw it in our pocket. And I said,
00:08:04.520
it's always better to leave a place better than you found it. And if there isn't,
00:08:10.380
if there isn't a better message for what it means to be a man than that, leave a place better than
00:08:17.060
you found it. I don't know what it is. And I want to tell you, I want to acknowledge you. I want to
00:08:21.700
recognize you that you as men are leaving the place better than you found it. You're adding value to my
00:08:30.440
life. You're holding me accountable. You're encouraging me. You're fostering growth and development,
00:08:35.740
and you're spending time with your children and you're engaged in intimacy, physically and mentally
00:08:42.080
and emotionally with your wives, which I think is all wonderful. And you're developing businesses and
00:08:47.360
you're, you're growing your current business and you're marketing and you're adding value to people's
00:08:52.060
lives and you're leading from the front and you're doing what you believe is right. That's what we need
00:08:57.720
guys. That's what we need. And so, as I look at the number of downloads in this podcast,
00:09:01.940
which at this point is over seven figures, this podcast is downloaded over a million times a month.
00:09:09.260
That's crazy. That doesn't even barely register in my mind that over a million times a month.
00:09:17.460
And I acknowledge and honor the fact that you are downloading the podcast and you're listening and
00:09:24.580
you're engaged and you're sharing and you're commenting and you're doing book clubs and,
00:09:30.020
and, and, and, and having discussions about the topics that we're discussing on a weekly basis,
00:09:35.660
which frankly just sounds wild. I never would have thought that this would be the case,
00:09:40.780
but at the same time, as I acknowledge what you guys have done and how far we've come,
00:09:46.600
I see and recognize how far we have to go. We might get a million downloads a month, but we need five,
00:09:53.840
10, 20, 30, 300 million downloads a month. We need more fathers, more husbands, more community leaders,
00:10:03.640
more business owners who adhere and believe in the message of reclaiming and restoring masculinity
00:10:09.380
and are making ourselves capable in all ways. And guys, I'm here to tell you, I've got some big plans.
00:10:14.500
Know that, know that I've got some big plans for order of man in 2021 COVID be damned. We're going
00:10:23.800
to do some incredible things. We're going to have conferences and we're going to have courses.
00:10:27.100
We're going to have new merchandise. We're going to expand the capabilities and the resources,
00:10:31.680
the reach of the iron council. We're going to continue to bring on some absolutely phenomenal
00:10:37.520
guests. I'm working on securing some guests right now that the conversations that I know we will
00:10:43.820
have will absolutely blow you away and boggle your mind and cause you to become a better husband and
00:10:50.140
father and community leader and business owner. But again, I want to tell you that none of this
00:10:56.220
would happen without you. And so I thank you. And this show is about you. It's about what you do for
00:11:03.560
me as a business owner. It's about what you do for me as an individual, because as I see the messages
00:11:09.820
that I received from you about leading your families and your businesses and your communities,
00:11:14.940
well, I want you to know I'm inspired. You know, I never set out to do order of man and have this
00:11:21.320
podcast as something where I position myself as superior to you. We're on the same, we're on the
00:11:28.180
same battlefield. And when I share things about what it means to be a man, I share it for myself
00:11:37.500
just as much as I share it for you. These are reminders. And as you're engaged in the noble
00:11:42.820
and virtuous work of masculinity, I see it. I acknowledge it. I recognize it.
00:11:51.300
And it helps me to be a better man. It helps me to lead my children more effectively. It helps me
00:11:55.720
connect deeper with my wife. It helps me to remember that maybe I shouldn't have those chips and salsa that
00:12:01.480
I would love to have. And that maybe I should work a little harder than I currently do. And
00:12:07.060
perhaps I should explore some hobbies and some interests and activities that are engaging or at
00:12:14.480
least interesting to me, but I would have been too afraid or created all sorts of excuses to keep
00:12:21.580
me from engaging those activities and hobbies. But when I see you do it, I reminded that I too should
00:12:28.500
be doing those things and I should be improving myself. And guys, I want you to know that we're
00:12:33.080
in this thing together. No man is an Island and we can't make our decisions in a vacuum. So
00:12:38.540
as I make decisions positively and negatively, I recognize that they impact you positively and
00:12:45.060
negatively. And I want you to understand that as you make positive decisions in your life and you
00:12:49.080
message me those things and you tell me how this is improving your life, that it's enhancing mine.
00:12:53.740
And I'm grateful for that. And so I know it's, um, as I said earlier, it's, uh, very convenient to
00:13:01.020
express my gratitude and the wake of Thanksgiving, which most of us are celebrating at this point,
00:13:06.760
or at least did yesterday. I hope you had some Turkey and some pie and you enjoyed your time with
00:13:12.240
family and friends and that you didn't let the government dictate what you could and couldn't do.
00:13:15.820
That's another conversation. I'm excited. I am. I'm excited about the prospects of this organization,
00:13:27.280
of this movement. I'm excited about the prospects of your life as you continue to improve, as you
00:13:31.820
implement the strategies that myself and our other guests share. And I'm excited for what you have to
00:13:38.100
teach me. And you do, you know, I look at a lot of these influencers and I, and I try not to be this
00:13:47.640
way, but I see a lot of arrogance and ego in these influencers. And I have it too. I'm not going to tell
00:13:51.460
you, I don't, you know, when somebody says something that maybe potentially undermines what I have to say,
00:13:55.620
I can't lie to you and say that I don't get offended or upset. I do, you know, it impacts me as a
00:14:02.180
human being, but I try to be better than that. I try to extract my, my ego, my pride.
00:14:15.140
But as you share things with me that, uh, aren't always comfortable to hear, it's good. It's good
00:14:20.620
for me. It's powerful for me. And we have a long way to go. I do too. So occasionally people will ask
00:14:26.840
me, excuse me. I'm super congested today. It's not COVID. It's just like a head cold.
00:14:34.040
But as I, uh, as I hear from, from people and what they have to share and what they have to say,
00:14:43.640
I know I'm, I'm guarded and reserved. And I, uh, I let my ego and pride get the better of me,
00:14:52.240
but man, these are things that I need to hear. And, and as I share these things, I want you to
00:14:56.560
know that these are messages that are just as much for me. I mean, people will say, well,
00:15:00.260
what makes you the expert, Ryan? What makes you the expert? I'm not an expert guys. Newsflash in
00:15:09.120
case you didn't acknowledge or recognize that I'm not an S expert and what it means to be a man.
00:15:15.580
I'm along for the ride. I'm along for the journey, man. I struggle as a father. I,
00:15:19.300
I really struggle with patience and empathy and compassion and understanding. I struggle
00:15:25.380
with a lot of these things. I'm good at a lot of these things. And I struggle with a lot of these
00:15:28.560
things. I struggle as a business owner, you know, things don't always go according to plan and things
00:15:34.880
don't always work out the way that I would hope that they would. And I don't make as much money as
00:15:39.640
I would like. And I don't have the experiences that people have. And I struggle, you know? So what I
00:15:46.540
share with you as much as, as it is for you and I want to serve, it's also a reminder for me. So I'm
00:15:52.280
not the expert. And frankly, you're not the expert either, but I feel like through what we're doing
00:15:57.260
here with order of man collectively through thousands, if not millions of men, we can figure
00:16:02.260
out the best path forward. But why do I do it, man? I do it because I want to be a better father.
00:16:09.340
I want to be a better husband. I want to lead my community and I want to lead my business and,
00:16:13.280
and those people who are impacted by the work that I'm doing. So I'm constantly striving to be
00:16:17.560
better. And you helped me do that. So I know this one is different. I know that maybe at this point
00:16:22.880
you feel like what the hell's Ryan talking about? He's rambling. And maybe I am to a degree, but
00:16:27.520
ultimately in the bottom line that I wanted to share with you today is my gratitude, my gratitude for
00:16:33.800
what you've done for me, whether you realize it or not, my gratitude to you for helping me lead my
00:16:42.160
children better, to connect more deeply with my family. And every time I think I'm doing something
00:16:47.480
for you, I'm reminded that you're actually doing something for me and you're part of this.
00:16:53.320
It isn't order of Ryan. Look, it isn't order of Ryan. It's order of man. We're all in this thing
00:17:01.100
together. And of the millions of people who are listening, I learned from you. I thank you. I express
00:17:07.580
my gratitude for what you're doing. And gratitude is so powerful. Let's talk about, and I'll riff on
00:17:13.540
that for a minute is how powerful gratitude is without expressing gratitude. You're closing yourself
00:17:21.500
off to the reality that maybe there's some outside circumstances that have helped you get to where you
00:17:27.600
are. And as high achieving, hard charging men like you and I are, it's hard at times to stop and
00:17:35.140
take a deep breath and consider that maybe you didn't do this on your own.
00:17:41.400
That maybe somebody else was helping you. That maybe there were some people along the way who
00:17:48.160
lifted you up, who gave you a kick in the ass or the balls when maybe you needed it. I know I
00:17:54.080
certainly have. And that this isn't yours. Order of man is not mine. It's my business. Sure.
00:18:01.820
I registered it. I trademarked it, but it isn't mine. It's your guys's.
00:18:10.640
And I constantly strive to remember and maintain that level of humility. This is yours. I'm here to
00:18:17.240
serve you. And you're here to serve me and other men who would be listening and engaging with what
00:18:23.140
we're doing. Gratitude is crucial guys. Consider that in spite of everything that you want, you already
00:18:31.460
have everything. You already have everything. You may not feel like it. You may not recognize it,
00:18:41.320
but life's pretty good. Got family. You've got friends. You've got your health. You've got aspirations.
00:18:49.040
You've got hope. Hope is the most important thing. You've got love from other individuals.
00:18:59.660
If we don't acknowledge those things, then we're leaving potential on the table because I've
00:19:06.680
acknowledged that I'm powerful and that I have influence and authority and credibility and
00:19:12.160
health and love. Then I can focus on those things to produce effective outcomes for myself and the
00:19:18.740
people that I care about. And if I fail to acknowledge those things, then I fail to
00:19:24.380
acknowledge that there's some resources at my disposal to be able to impact positively my life
00:19:29.860
and the people that I have responsibility for. Gratitude is crucial.
00:19:34.020
So I strive to remain gracious. I strive to express my gratitude to you and the other people who have
00:19:42.240
impacted my life positively. And I'll tell you what is, as I do that, my life is better. Not that it's
00:19:47.200
changed. And that's the interesting thing about gratitude. Just because you express gratitude,
00:19:53.040
your life doesn't objectively change. It might because you're doing some different things,
00:19:57.220
but inherently it doesn't objectively change. It's subjectively changes.
00:20:01.960
The circumstances around you don't immediately and instantaneously change because you've decided
00:20:09.220
to acknowledge that there's some real blessings that have been bestowed upon you in your life that
00:20:15.320
doesn't change. But the way that you view life changes and because you view it differently
00:20:23.140
and you're coming at it from not a position of scarcity, but abundance. Now you start doing
00:20:29.700
things differently. Your mindset changes, which leads to new actions that are going to improve
00:20:34.960
your life. And here's the beautiful thing about gratitude. It doesn't take any skill or talent to be able
00:20:42.140
to express it. All that it takes is a little bit of time, a little bit of reflection to think about
00:20:49.820
the things that are going right and being grateful for those things and grateful to the people who have
00:20:57.900
afforded you those things, whether that's God or your friends or your wife or your kids or people you
00:21:05.160
don't even know. And that's what I wanted to acknowledge in you. And by the way, what we give
00:21:12.280
away, we get back in return. I was thinking about this the other night, maybe even been last night. I was
00:21:17.780
thinking about that this, this law, this eternal principle, and I don't know, even know how to fully
00:21:24.200
articulate it, but what we give away, we get in return. Here's an interesting story. Years ago,
00:21:30.920
I was in the financial planning business. I've told you guys about this. And, uh, and I saw this guy
00:21:38.140
continue to get phone calls. He was getting phone calls. His phone was ringing like nonstop with new
00:21:43.720
clients and prospects. And I thought, man, how is this guy doing this? How is he getting so many
00:21:50.240
clients and prospects and growing his business? And I just couldn't wrap my head around what he's
00:21:54.500
doing. And I said, I know what I'll do. I'll ask him surprise, surprise. I just asked him.
00:22:01.640
And, and I said, Hey, uh, I'm not going to use his name, but I said, Hey, how did, like, I see your
00:22:07.940
phone ringing off the hook. Clients are calling you and they're telling you they want to invest and they
00:22:12.480
want to purchase products from you. And you're growing your business and you're perpetually performing.
00:22:16.700
Like, I don't understand how to do that. Like, how do I get to the point where people are calling me
00:22:20.780
and calling me back? And he said, Ryan, they're not calling me back. These people are, excuse me.
00:22:26.140
These people aren't calling me. That's what he said. These people aren't calling me. They're calling
00:22:29.980
me back. And I said, what do you mean? He's like, they're just returning my phone calls.
00:22:36.720
Now that might seem like a, uh, like there's not a lesson there necessarily, but there's a lesson
00:22:42.340
there. And I was fortunate enough to understand the lesson. The lesson at the time was these people
00:22:48.580
aren't just miraculously calling. They're calling back, which means he gave away. He was making calls.
00:22:55.620
He was exerting himself. He gave away his time and attention and energy. And because he was willing
00:23:00.820
to pour it out in other people, they were willing to return it. And that's the power of gratitude.
00:23:09.040
Gratitude. When you're grateful for the things that you have, the things that you don't have
00:23:13.500
are not as relevant or consuming or sucking the life and consuming the resources of your life,
00:23:21.400
because you're not so focused on what you don't have. You're focused on what you do,
00:23:25.460
which means that you're pouring into the things that work.
00:23:30.260
You're pouring into the things that offer value, that enhance your life. And so guys,
00:23:34.800
if you're not expressing gratitude on a continual basis, I would suggest to you that there's a
00:23:40.400
huge void and there's low hanging fruit for abundance and prosperity. You already have
00:23:47.960
everything. I said it before. The only reason you don't think you do is because you're failing
00:23:54.320
to acknowledge what you actually have, which is amazing. And even in the midst of difficult and
00:24:01.180
trying and uncertain times, you already have everything. Use it, recognize it, acknowledge
00:24:11.820
it, live abundantly. And if you do, you'll realize that what you need is not actually really all that
00:24:19.080
much. And ironically or unironically enough that as you acknowledge what you have, it will be given
00:24:26.140
to you. Just like this advisor, he gave away his time and attention and resources and energy,
00:24:31.640
and people weren't calling him. They were simply calling him back. They were returning to him what
00:24:36.780
he had given to them. That's my experience of life. This might be a little different podcast,
00:24:45.920
a lot different podcasts than I've done in the past, but I'm telling you, the power of gratitude is
00:24:51.640
real. It's evident. It's tangible. It's palpable in my life. And every time I express gratitude,
00:24:57.920
not only do I feel better, but I'm rewarded because I did.
00:25:04.360
So if you want to be happy, and I don't think that's the goal of life, by the way, but if you
00:25:08.440
want to be happy and fulfilled, which I think is more relevant, satisfied, purpose-driven,
00:25:15.540
then acknowledge that what you have is wonderful. You know, I look around at what I have with
00:25:20.200
technology, with this podcast and the books that I get to read and the people in my life. You know,
00:25:25.420
there's some pictures here of people that I really care about. This is acknowledged. They're already
00:25:30.660
here. They're already present in my life. And if I had nothing else, I have these relationships. I
00:25:35.820
have this knowledge. I have this technology. I have this opportunity to express an opinion that I feel
00:25:41.440
like is important. I have the opportunity to hunt and, and to be engaged with jujitsu and other
00:25:48.400
activities and interests and hobbies that are important for me, that edify me and uplift me and
00:25:53.160
make me feel good. That I already have everything. I have it all. And you do too. You just need to
00:26:01.260
acknowledge it. So on the heels of Thanksgiving guys, again, I want to cap and close with saying
00:26:06.560
that I appreciate you, acknowledge and recognize you. And I encourage you to do the same thing,
00:26:10.940
not for me, but for other people in your life who have served you well, who have stood by you.
00:26:15.680
When maybe they weren't obligated or required to the technology that you have, the information
00:26:21.180
that you have, the abundance and prosperity of the access of information that we have never had
00:26:26.880
in the history of humankind. And as you do, I promise you, your life will get better.
00:26:33.080
Maybe not objectively, at least initially, but subjectively, you will begin to view your life
00:26:40.360
different. And as you view your life different, you will do different things. You will think
00:26:46.140
differently. You will do different things. You will call on different people and your life will
00:26:51.600
get better as a result of you expressing gratitude for the things that you have. Try it. Prove me wrong.
00:26:59.980
Give it an honest effort over the next 30 days. Spend the rest of this year, 2020 in the wake of
00:27:04.700
just an insane year. All right. We can all agree. It's an insane year, regardless for political
00:27:10.060
affiliations or our beliefs. It's insane. It's insanity. This year is crazy. And in spite of the
00:27:16.680
craziness that we've experienced this year for the next 30 days or 32 days or whatever it ends up being
00:27:23.320
based on when you listen to this podcast, just prove me wrong. Spend every day for the next 30,
00:27:32.120
31, 32 days, expressing gratitude, writing a message, jumping on the phone and calling somebody
00:27:40.760
you haven't talked to and just saying, Hey, you know what? Thank you. I appreciate you.
00:27:44.780
And just see where it takes you. See where it takes you. If I'm wrong and it doesn't create any sort of
00:27:51.700
abundance in your life, then you can revert back to what you were doing before. I don't think I'm wrong.
00:27:55.920
I think I'm right. Life has proven to me. That's the case. So guys get after it. Be thankful,
00:28:04.080
express gratitude. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for motivating and inspiring me.
00:28:10.500
We've got a lot of work to do in 2021. It's going to be incredible. Why? Because we're going to make
00:28:15.060
it incredible, regardless of the COVID climate, regardless of political affiliations and things
00:28:22.780
that are going on. It's always going to be catastrophic in the eyes of the media, but you
00:28:26.380
know what? We've got a good thing going on here. Let's keep it going. Let's keep charging. Let's
00:28:31.540
keep leading our families and our businesses communities. Let's keep doing it well. And thank
00:28:36.860
you. Thank you for helping me. All right, guys, we'll catch you next week. Until then, go out there,
00:28:43.060
take action, become the man you are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the order of man podcast.
