Order of Man - Building Your Band of Brothers ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

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.

00:00:10.440 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.160 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.720 you can call yourself a man. All right, you guys. What's up? Ryan

00:00:26.440 Nickler here with the Order of Man podcast and movement. Glad you're joining us and tuning in

00:00:31.000 today. If you're not familiar with what we do, this is a movement to help you reclaim and restore

00:00:35.660 masculinity is to help you become a more proficient, capable, solid man in whatever role you happen to

00:00:41.840 be fulfilling. I was going to say playing, but we're not playing the role, guys. We're fulfilling

00:00:45.600 those roles. We're stepping into those responsibilities and those obligations. So if

00:00:49.720 you're a husband, a father, a business owner, a community leader, just a man in general, then this

00:00:55.420 is the podcast for you. And today I wanted to talk with you about something crucial on your journey

00:01:00.040 to improve your capability as a man. And that is having a band of brothers in your corner.

00:01:06.020 So I'm going to preface this conversation by saying that we just opened a couple of days ago,

00:01:11.120 the Iron Council, our exclusive brotherhood back open now. And it's been closed for about a month or so

00:01:18.260 because we've really been building out some components in the infrastructure and getting

00:01:22.480 things in place so that you as men, when you do join us, you're going to be able to tap into a

00:01:28.980 system, a program, a framework, and also the network that's going to help you thrive and succeed

00:01:34.420 as a man in whatever role you're living. So if you're interested in checking out the Iron Council,

00:01:40.620 we're going to be open for a couple of weeks and I have a hundred spots, no more or no less.

00:01:44.360 I've got a hundred spots available. We're open right now. Head to orderofman.com slash Iron Council.

00:01:49.860 Again, orderofman.com slash Iron Council. Now guys, along those same lines,

00:01:54.940 I really wanted to talk with you about a band of brothers because this is something that over the

00:02:00.340 past six years, I've been hearing from a lot of you about. You guys want to meet with guys

00:02:06.220 who have your back, who support you, who uplift you, who share information, who will give you the

00:02:12.760 kick in the pants when necessary. And it is necessary by the way, for all of us at times.

00:02:17.520 Uh, and you're struggling generally. I think you're struggling to find those guys. I know I was

00:02:22.140 when I started order of man in March of 2015, I really had the desire just like you to find other

00:02:28.320 men who could sit in my corner. Uh, they were on their own journeys and paths of course, but they

00:02:33.080 could also be in my corner and they could help me along my journey and my path. And I started looking

00:02:39.160 around, uh, with the friends that I had with the acquaintances and the associations that I had.

00:02:43.420 And frankly, I couldn't find it. I was young at the time. And, uh, you know, I, I felt like the

00:02:49.500 people in my life were more interested in, you know, themselves, which I don't think is entirely

00:02:54.120 wrong. Uh, and, and they just weren't focused on or concerned with the things that I was concerned

00:03:02.340 with. And I'm very careful of being judgmental in that. Uh, we all have our own paths that we have

00:03:08.520 to walk, but I, I wanted something more in my life. I wanted to be on a different path. I wanted

00:03:12.840 to produce better results in my life. And it was very challenging to find other men who are very

00:03:17.340 interested in the same thing. So what I did in 2015, late 2015 is I created this organization

00:03:24.000 called the iron council and the iron council is dedicated to having men join us from all walks of

00:03:32.140 life, from all backgrounds and cultures and beliefs and geographical locations and figuring out a way

00:03:39.040 to band us all together in a way that was significant and meaningful and would propel all of us down the

00:03:47.400 path of, of manliness and masculinity. And we opened it up, like I said, in 2015, we initially had 12

00:03:53.900 members and that has grown now to over 900 members, not only in the United States, but all over the

00:04:00.260 world. And it's a Testament to what I believed five, five and a half years ago, when I knew I

00:04:07.640 wanted to get on the path and I knew I wanted to have a band of brothers. Uh, and, and it was

00:04:12.320 challenging for me to, to find those people. And I know it's challenging for a lot of you as well.

00:04:17.060 So what I would suggest to you is we roll into 2022, you know, we're, we're at the beginning of

00:04:21.920 December now is the release of this podcast. And a lot of you guys are thinking about what 2021 has

00:04:27.480 looked like, what it's been for you. You're thinking about what 2022 could be for you. Uh,

00:04:33.520 and I'm telling you right off, right off hand, just, just as straight forward as I can, that having

00:04:39.080 other men in your corner, whether it's the iron council or whether it's four or five buddies from

00:04:43.940 work or neighbors that you have, the quality of your life is really going to be determined by the

00:04:50.120 quality of the conversations and relationships that you have in your life. And if all you have in your

00:04:55.300 life is your wife and your kids and maybe some, some, you know, mediocre colleagues, then I'm

00:05:01.400 telling you, you're, you're going to leave some, some growth on the table. And I don't want that for

00:05:05.460 myself. And I know you don't want that for yourself. And I certainly don't want that for you

00:05:09.380 in 2022, because we're dedicated to helping you become more of a man. I want you to have the best

00:05:17.040 2022 that you possibly can. And I would contend that for you listening, at least a large portion

00:05:26.040 of you listening, you cannot honestly say that you've got a band of brothers in your corner.

00:05:32.840 You can't, you've got your wife, you've got maybe some neighbors, you've got some, some people at work

00:05:40.760 potentially, you've got some extended family members, but that's the path of least resistance.

00:05:48.680 Those are all default relationships. And I'm not saying they're bad. You know, your relationship

00:05:53.260 with your wife, for example, isn't bad. I've been talking about the sanctity of marriage for six

00:05:57.280 years now. I've been talking about building a band of brothers. I've been talking about building a

00:06:02.640 network and getting to know other people for six years. So I'm not saying that's wrong,

00:06:06.400 but what I am suggesting is that you, if you can't elevate your level of relationship with

00:06:12.380 high caliber quality men, then you're leaving room on the table. And that's not something I'm

00:06:18.560 interested in doing in 2022. It's actually not something I'm interested in doing ever.

00:06:23.940 So what I would suggest to you is we think about building your band of brothers. And again,

00:06:27.680 you can, you can build this in your community. If you can, if you have the time, if you have the

00:06:31.500 resources, if you have the capability, if there's people in your, in your area, then do it.

00:06:34.960 But if not, then I would highly encourage you to join the iron council. And here's why. Number one,

00:06:39.880 you need to be able to qualify these individuals. Again, if they're neighbors,

00:06:43.780 their colleagues, if they're coworkers, if they're family members or friends, you need to qualify them.

00:06:47.580 And I'm not saying that just because somebody doesn't reach your, your standard or your,

00:06:51.580 your expectation or your definition of what a, what a, what a brother would be,

00:06:55.640 that they don't, they don't get to be in your circle to some degree that they don't get to

00:06:59.420 interact with you. But what I'm talking about here is something very deliberate and intentional,

00:07:03.280 all right. You've got your relationships with your family. You've got your relationships with

00:07:06.740 your colleagues and your coworkers and neighbors. And then if you don't have this higher echelon of

00:07:12.220 men who are your, what I would call your band of brothers, this is, this is elevated guys.

00:07:18.480 I'm not just talking about the guy next door who you happen to know. Yeah. You might say, well,

00:07:23.660 that guy's my brother. Like I really, okay, well, that's good. But unless you've really thought

00:07:28.460 about what I'm going to share with you today, it's just kind of average, it's kind of ordinary

00:07:32.540 and hopefully it works out. I really do. I hope it works out, but odds are that it won't.

00:07:37.800 So the first thing you need to do is you really need to qualify that the men that you have in your

00:07:42.060 corner as part of your band of brothers are men that you're interested in walking shoulder to

00:07:46.940 shoulder with through this thing that we call life. Are they capable? Are they moral? Do they believe

00:07:54.260 like you? I'm not suggesting we need to have an echo chamber, but at a foundational level,

00:07:58.620 they need to believe like you, you know, what kind of math conversation can I have about algebra

00:08:04.160 or advanced calculus? If the person I'm talking with doesn't believe that two plus two equals four,

00:08:09.740 how's that going to work? It's not going to work. Now we can have differences of opinion,

00:08:13.920 but we got to know that two plus two equals four. If we don't agree upon that foundation,

00:08:19.200 then there's nothing else that we say or have conversations about really matters.

00:08:22.280 So are you qualifying these people? And that's one thing that we do inside the iron council.

00:08:28.100 And I'll tell you how we do it. Number one, people are paying to be there. Now you might say,

00:08:32.080 well, that's an easy way to qualify people. That's kind of a cheap way to do it. Not really.

00:08:37.660 And I'll tell you why, because what we found over the past six years is that a man who's willing to

00:08:41.620 invest in himself, even to a small degree is somebody who at least has proven to me that they're

00:08:47.420 interested in developing themselves and they're willing to put their money where their mouth is.

00:08:56.620 You know, if I had five guys in my neighborhood or five guys at work, for example, I'd said,

00:09:00.860 Hey guys, like we're all going to put 20 bucks in. We're going to get together. That 20 bucks is

00:09:05.280 going to go to charity. You're going to go to this mission. You're going to go to this cause

00:09:08.380 who would be interested. I'd find one of those five would be like, yeah, I can, I can,

00:09:11.960 I can do 20 bucks. The rest would be cheapskates and they wouldn't be willing to invest in themselves

00:09:18.600 and they wouldn't be willing to invest in their neighborhood or their community.

00:09:22.080 It's unfortunate. It really is. I wish that wasn't the case, but that's the reality.

00:09:26.380 If you don't believe me, go do it. They'll ask your 10 closest people. Hey, we're all putting

00:09:30.480 together 20 bucks. We're going to get together on a weekly basis for the month of December,

00:09:34.860 the month of January. And we're going to be talking about what it means to be a man.

00:09:38.940 We're going to be challenging each other, pushing each other, holding each other accountable.

00:09:42.500 And that $20 is going to go towards a charity of our choosing. We're all going to collectively

00:09:46.460 agree on that charity. Who's in? You can correct me if I'm wrong. If you have five or six or seven

00:09:54.580 or eight people who'd be like, yeah, cool. I'm in. And they actually do it. Okay. Well, I'm wrong.

00:09:59.800 I don't think that's the case. At least it hasn't been in my experience,

00:10:02.740 but you contrast that with the iron council. Every single one of the 900 plus members has invested in

00:10:09.440 themselves. They're there, they're investing and it's not very much, you know, they're investing

00:10:13.780 roughly, what is it? $3 a day. You know, that's, that's less money than people spend on a Coke or a

00:10:19.660 Starbucks or alcohol or cigarettes or whatever it is, whatever your thing is, that's less money than

00:10:26.080 that. And yet you're willing to invest. It's not even invest divest. I would say into drugs and

00:10:32.100 alcohol and pornography, but are you willing to invest in yourself? So the first litmus test for

00:10:38.780 your band of brothers is, are they willing to invest in themselves? All right. Number two,

00:10:42.280 you got to look for people who are going to be real because look, you don't want a bunch of, 0.98

00:10:46.920 you don't want a circle jerk here guys. And I don't want to be crude about that, but really you're not 0.96

00:10:50.800 here to like make each other feel good. You're not here to rub each other's balls and make each other 0.98

00:10:54.580 feel comfortable about your poor decisions and how you're good and how you're worthy and how you're a good 0.99

00:10:59.160 man. Man, I'm not interested in that. Like I want somebody who's got some balls. I want somebody

00:11:05.440 who's going to say, Hey, Ryan, you're effing up right here. You know, you said you were going to

00:11:10.480 do X, Y, and Z and you aren't doing X, Y, and Z. So what gives like, what's the problem? What can I do

00:11:18.200 to help you? Like, we got to understand they're not coming from a place of blasting you. They're not

00:11:22.940 coming from a negative place. They're coming from a position of love. And is that love when somebody

00:11:27.620 blasts you? When somebody calls you out and somebody says, Hey, you're not doing what you

00:11:31.160 said you would be doing. Is that love? Yes. The answer is yes. In this twisted, distorted,

00:11:37.500 sickly society that we live in, whenever anybody says, Hey, you know what? I don't agree with that.

00:11:41.820 We interpret it as hate or hostility. You're like haters are going to hate. And some of them are,

00:11:47.900 but if you're there, they're your band of brothers, you should have given them express

00:11:51.180 and implied authority to be able to call you out when you weren't doing what you need to be doing.

00:11:55.520 Do you have that? Do you do that for other people? Because that's what we do in the iron

00:12:00.120 council. We have a system in place that helps you identify the goals and objectives and tactics

00:12:05.900 that you want to reach. And if you aren't doing what needs to be done, then we're going to call

00:12:10.180 you on it. Not because we hate you. Not because we don't want to see you succeed. Not because we

00:12:14.820 don't want you to win, but because we care about you. And genuine care for people says, Hey,

00:12:20.640 you know, I've got to, I've got to call this out. I think about that with my children.

00:12:24.840 You know, we live in this era of helicopter parenting where everybody's like, you know,

00:12:27.900 I don't want my, they don't say it, but this is what they're feeling. I don't want my kids to feel

00:12:31.300 bad. Like what, what, what if it hurts their, their precious little feelings? And like, I just,

00:12:38.040 I'm just really cautious. Or alternatively, you could say, Hey, you know what? I care about my kid

00:12:43.100 enough to say what needs to be said. I care about enough, enough about my kid that I'm going to make

00:12:46.740 him do the dishes. I care about enough about my kid that I'm going to discipline him or her when,

00:12:52.140 when they screw up. And that's real love. You want to know why that's real love? Because I,

00:12:57.140 I believe that love requires sacrifice, right? Like you don't, you don't know if you truly love

00:13:06.400 somebody unless it's hard. You know, for example, I think about my wife and I, we were actually having

00:13:12.520 this conversation last night. We've been together for nearly two decades dating for a couple of

00:13:17.560 years. And then, and then married of course, for just over 17 now. It was very easy for us to say

00:13:24.700 when we were all hot and bothered and physically attracted to each other and things were easy.

00:13:28.520 And I remember picking her up and make it out in the car and like, it was easy. And I, and I remember

00:13:34.060 the day that I said, I loved her. And I remember the day she said, she loved me. Did we, I don't know.

00:13:38.520 Well, I mean, I felt like we did, but nothing had been challenged at that point. It was very easy,

00:13:44.400 right? And 20 years later, now I can genuinely say that I love her because there's been times in my

00:13:51.140 life where it has been hard for her as well. And we've struggled and we've been mad at each other

00:13:57.660 and we've argued and we've had differences of opinion. And yet, in spite of all of that hardship,

00:14:03.100 we continue to be united in our desire to lead ourselves and each other, our desire to lead our

00:14:11.760 children, our desire to walk hand in hand in this thing that we call life. And so it's been a

00:14:17.880 sacrifice. You know, there's things that I have wanted to do that I've decided not putting this

00:14:24.020 on her, by the way, but I've decided that I'm not going to do because I made a commitment to her

00:14:28.140 and my children. And she would say the same thing. And that's true love sacrifice. So now let's bring

00:14:34.960 this back out of the context of a romantic relationship and consider that you can't

00:14:39.260 actually love somebody until there is a sacrifice. And here's the sacrifice, your own feelings.

00:14:47.840 Because look, I don't like being an asshole. I don't want people to feel bad. 1.00

00:14:52.460 But when we say, Hey, I'm not, again, this is, this is probably not verbalized, but when we say,

00:14:59.360 for example, that in our own minds, well, I'm not going to, I'm not going to say that because that

00:15:04.600 person would feel bad. I actually don't think you're worried about them feeling bad. I think

00:15:09.780 you're more worried about you feeling bad. I'm not going to say that because then I'm going to be

00:15:14.860 viewed or judged as an asshole. Well, that isn't love guys. That's weakness. And love 0.99

00:15:21.280 requires strength. Love requires sacrifice. Love requires boldness.

00:15:30.980 And so I hate the, I hate the English language when it comes to love,

00:15:37.600 because we really don't have the word to describe brotherly love. Like I've even caught myself when,

00:15:45.720 when I have a friend, you know, I'll, I'll message, for example, Bert Soren, good friend of mine,

00:15:49.780 really care about him. Why can't, I can't comfortably say, I love you to Bert Sorensen

00:15:54.880 because it sounds weird. Right? So what do I do? I say, love you, right? Why a not love you love.

00:16:00.880 Yeah. It's a difference because we don't have, we don't have a word in the English language for

00:16:08.360 brotherly love. I wish we did, but I'm, I'm digressing a little bit here.

00:16:14.640 The point that I'm making guys is that inside of the iron council, we're willing to say what needs

00:16:20.040 to be said. We're willing to do what needs to be done. We're willing to hold you accountable to the

00:16:25.900 things that you've identified as being important. That's important. That's critical. That's crucial.

00:16:31.380 That means that we care about you. That means that we love you. I wish there was a better term,

00:16:35.320 but there isn't. So we'll just use love for now. That means we love you. We want you to win.

00:16:42.740 We're willing to sacrifice our own time, our own energy, our own resources so that you can win.

00:16:51.480 Who's in your corner right now, outside of hopefully your wife and your children

00:16:55.000 that you can say that about. The odds are that it's few and far between, if not non-existent.

00:17:02.520 But this is why I created the iron council.

00:17:09.520 You're going to have people who love you. You're going to have people that care about you.

00:17:13.280 You're going to have people who have the balls to actually say what needs to be said.

00:17:18.340 You're going to have the network. You're going to tap into guys who are doing what you want to do.

00:17:23.900 You want to do what I want to do? Well, you better get around me.

00:17:28.020 You want to get in shape? Well, you better get around to fit people.

00:17:30.680 Well, you want to improve your finances? Well, you better get around the people who are

00:17:34.620 independently wealthy. And we've got them all. We've got successful entrepreneurs.

00:17:39.680 We've got guys who were jacked and lean and strong physically. We've got guys who have created

00:17:46.100 businesses that are worth seven and eight figures. We have channels dedicated to each of these

00:17:53.280 conversations. And so what that allows you to do is it allows you to cater your experience

00:17:58.100 to what you want. You want to be a good father? Join the fatherhood channel.

00:18:02.120 You want to be a good husband? Join the husband channel. You want to be an entrepreneur? Join the

00:18:07.320 entrepreneur channel. You want to figure out how to dial in your finances because you're up to debt

00:18:12.220 to your eyeballs and you don't know how to build wealth? Join the financial channel.

00:18:16.620 You want to learn how to shoot guns? Join the firearms channel.

00:18:19.180 You want to learn how to shoot a bow or shoot a rifle and actually take a deer in 2022? Join the

00:18:28.100 hunting channel. Guys, we've got it all. It's the total package. And yeah, you could do it alone.

00:18:35.340 You could. But at what cost? Because some of you guys are saying, well, you know, I'd love to join

00:18:41.480 the Iron Council, but I'm not going to pay. Well, here's one thing. A lot of guys say,

00:18:45.080 I'm not going to pay for friends. Bro, we aren't your friend. I'm not worried about being your

00:18:51.380 friend. The guys in the Iron Council aren't worried about being your friends. We're not there to be

00:18:55.940 friends. I got enough friends. I'm looking for something deeper. I'm looking for something

00:19:01.500 meaningful and something significant. And being a friend is like the baseline. I can enjoy a barbecue

00:19:09.060 with all the men in the area. And we're all friends and we're friendly. Like what I call that

00:19:15.500 guy, if I was struggling in my marriage, probably not. That doesn't require friendship. That requires

00:19:21.100 something so much deeper. So build it yourself or join us. It's that simple. Guys, you got to have

00:19:29.200 a band of brothers. We bought into this notion that going at it alone is noble or it's cool. You know,

00:19:40.140 you think about James Bond or Jason Bourne or even the Marlboro man. If you're my age or older,

00:19:48.640 those guys were cool. Like they were the epitome of masculinity. I want to be like that guy. You don't

00:19:56.520 want to be like that guy. That guy's a loser. James Bond, Jason Bourne, the Marlboro man. Those guys are 1.00

00:20:02.480 losers. You want to know why? Because they're alone. They're alone. Nobody likes them. They're 1.00

00:20:10.420 loners. They're losers. You want to be a winner? Figure out how to work with other people. Figure out 1.00

00:20:18.460 how to enlist other men into the cause. Figure out how to be a team player. Figure out how to find

00:20:26.500 men who are high caliber. Figure out how to be high caliber for yourself so you can lead other

00:20:31.820 people. Don't be a loser. I don't want to be James Bond. Yeah, he's got some skills. He can kill 0.99

00:20:38.560 people. He can get the ladies. What's his life like? Don't go at this alone, guys. It doesn't work. 1.00

00:20:47.980 It doesn't work. For millions of years. I went to, I can't remember what museum it was. It might

00:21:01.540 have been the Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC several months ago. And I came

00:21:07.000 across this, I think the area that we were in was early American history or early human history or

00:21:14.780 something like that. I think it was human history. And I came across this display and on this display

00:21:19.900 was this bone. And I think it was a hip bone, if I remember correctly. And it had a hole where a hole

00:21:25.640 doesn't normally exist in a hip bone. And what the scientists had discovered is that hole was created

00:21:32.680 by a spear that a man or maybe a woman, likely a man, had thrown at this, it was a horse.

00:21:44.040 I think it was hundreds of thousands of years old. I can't even remember, but had thrown this spear

00:21:49.880 at a horse to kill it. And then eventually, you know, they cooked it and ate it. Right.

00:21:53.700 But what they realized is that we all hunted in packs. We all hunted together. We were banded as

00:22:04.020 men towards a common objective. And I thought about this to a lesser degree when I was playing

00:22:09.560 high school sports. I remember calling my buddies out. Hey man, you missed that play. What the hell?

00:22:16.080 Like get it, dial it up, like lock it in. You got to, you got to make that, you got to roll that 0.64

00:22:20.260 double play next time. What's your problem? You got to get that covered. What are you doing?

00:22:25.000 You let that guy catch that ball. What's your problem? And people from the outside interpreted

00:22:29.860 as mean spirited and bad. I feel bad. It's a feminine perspective. It's all wrapped up into feelings 1.00

00:22:37.460 versus men who it's not designed to make you feel bad. It's designed to make you step up. I called

00:22:44.420 people out. People called me out and you know what? We were better for it. So who's in your corner doing

00:22:49.140 that? Or are you just taking the path of least resistance? I don't want to feel bad. I don't

00:22:54.880 want to be challenged. I don't want to be uncomfortable. I don't want people in my corner

00:22:59.880 to like call me out, man. If that's you, then good luck to you. And that's what you're going

00:23:05.700 to need. You're going to need luck. But if you want something more for 2022, then you build a band

00:23:10.880 of brothers with some of the things that I've taught or shared with you today. You can do that on your

00:23:16.220 own. If you can, all the power to you. I'll help you. Shoot me a message. Hey, Ryan, I've got these

00:23:21.980 five guys. Like, what should we talk about? I'll tell you. I'll give you advice. This is not just

00:23:26.480 about me. This is about you. I want you to win. Alternatively, you could say, Hey, Ryan, you know,

00:23:32.940 I trust what you've been doing over the past six years. I know that you're building this band of

00:23:36.120 brothers. I know you have other guys in your corner. I know you guys have the systems and the

00:23:39.080 frameworks and the network and everything else. Can I tap into it? The answer is a hundred percent.

00:23:43.120 We want you here, but we only want you here if you're going to be dedicated to it. I got an email

00:23:48.880 earlier today and a guy messaged me and he says, Hey, I was charged for another month of the iron

00:23:54.860 council, but I haven't visited the site for three months. And I think he wanted me to cancel his

00:24:01.960 membership or refund his money. And I'll certainly do that because I'm not going to play games with

00:24:06.060 people if that's what he's interested in. But that's what he was looking for. Instead, I said,

00:24:10.560 well, why haven't you visited the site for three months? What the hell? You know, you invested in

00:24:15.980 yourself and you think that just because you invest in yourself, that if you're not getting what you

00:24:19.540 want, that that like, that's the end result. What about giving back? What about your commitment to

00:24:24.640 serving other people? What about the work that you have to do on yourself outside of just investing a

00:24:29.060 few bucks a month? I'm curious what I'll say. I don't know what I'll say. Maybe he's emailed me back

00:24:37.260 already and I'll check it here in a minute, but guys invest in yourself, invest in other people,

00:24:41.680 then do the work. The investment is just the ticket to entry. You know, if I bought, for example,

00:24:47.920 a ticket to go watch a football game, like, am I entitled to a good experience because I paid 60

00:24:54.580 bucks? No. Or a hundred bucks or two. No, I'm not entitled to a good experience. Now I hope that

00:25:01.020 that team has created an environment where I can have a good experience, but people have good

00:25:05.480 experience isn't bad. They have a spectrum of experiences even after the ticket to entry.

00:25:10.080 It ain't about the money, guys. It's about what you do. It's about the work that you'll put forth.

00:25:14.180 It's about what you create out of it. We'll create the environment, but you got to do the work.

00:25:19.640 So guys, with all that said, do it alone or do it with us. I don't care. I'll help you either way.

00:25:24.360 But if you're looking for a band of brothers, you're looking for people,

00:25:29.360 men specifically, who will hold you accountable. It's not going to be comfortable. It shouldn't be

00:25:34.120 comfortable. Comfort is the enemy of greatness. If you really want to be great in 2022, then you

00:25:40.880 will get uncomfortable. And I can guarantee that we're going to make you feel uncomfortable

00:25:45.240 in the spirit of love, in the spirit of caring about you, in the spirit of wanting you to win.

00:25:51.980 So join us. Guys, you can do that at orderofman.com slash iron council. We're only open for a couple of

00:25:58.740 weeks. So, and like I said, a hundred spots, no less, no more. 101 closed. If you come to me and

00:26:05.420 you say, Hey Ryan, you know, I missed the deadline and I know you got a hundred members and this would

00:26:09.580 be 103 or whatever. No, a hundred members. We want you there. And I'll tell you why we're doing a

00:26:14.720 hundred members because we want to focus on a hundred guys, not a thousand guys. We want to focus on a

00:26:19.600 hundred of you. So we can give you the time and the attention and the energy and the resources

00:26:25.380 that you need to win. And if I have to do that with 10,000 people, then I can't do it as effectively.

00:26:30.760 Yeah. I can make some more money, but it isn't all about money to me. It's about wanting you to win,

00:26:36.000 wanting you to thrive, wanting you to lead, wanting you to step up, wanting you to live a better life,

00:26:40.000 wanting you to lead your family, wanting you to have a deeper relationship with your wife,

00:26:44.240 wanting you to lose weight, wanting you to start that business. So we've got a hundred of you to go.

00:26:49.600 Period. Bottom line, end of the story. Orderofman.com slash iron council. All right,

00:26:56.760 guys, I hope to see a hundred of you in there and we'll keep rocking and rolling. We'll open it later,

00:27:02.700 but I don't know when it's going to be. So get on it now, change your life, change the trajectory

00:27:06.560 of your life and band with other men who will have your back. All right, guys, we'll be back next week.

00:27:13.820 Until then, go out there, take action, join the iron council and become the man you are meant to be.

00:27:19.720 Thank you for listening to the order of man podcast. You're ready to take charge of your life

00:27:24.320 and be more of the man you were meant to be. We invite you to join the order at orderofman.com.
