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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
00:17:09.520
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

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
00:20:02.480
losers. You want to know why? Because they're alone. They're alone. Nobody likes them. They're
00:20:10.420
loners. They're losers. You want to be a winner? Figure out how to work with other people. Figure out
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
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.
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
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
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.
