You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.
00:00:06.020
When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.
00:00:10.480
You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong.
00:00:15.500
This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become.
00:00:19.760
At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:00:25.060
Kip, what's up man? Glad to be joining you for another AMA.
00:00:27.540
It's good to be here. It's good to have Summer officially show up in Utah.
00:00:34.160
Although, I guess you wouldn't know that, right?
00:00:35.920
I wouldn't know that. I don't know if Summer officially showed up here.
00:00:39.260
Mr. Maine. I like Mr. Maine.
00:00:40.820
Mr. Maine? Okay. I was going to say, you're not a Utahan, so do you get a new title?
00:00:45.860
What's the title of people who live in Maine?
00:00:47.340
I actually talked, so Mainer is the title. I actually talked with Pete, yeah.
00:00:51.900
I actually talked with Pete Roberts about this, and he's been here for, I don't know, 30 plus years.
00:00:58.240
He wasn't born in Maine. I think he was born in Massachusetts, I want to say.
00:01:02.520
Either way, I asked him a couple of months ago, when you get to become a Mainer, and he said,
00:01:08.980
never. Unless you're born in Maine, you don't ever get to become a Mainer.
00:01:13.380
You're always an outsider.
00:01:14.600
Right. My three-year-old son, he won't, even if we ended up staying here, and I don't know if we will
00:01:19.680
or not, but even if we did, he will never become a Mainer because he wasn't born here. He's three
00:01:24.040
years old, but he wasn't born here, so he's not a Mainer. It's interesting.
00:01:29.460
So there's like three Mainers in all of Maine.
00:01:32.400
That's right. Yeah, that's right. That were here. Their families were here since, you know, 1650 or
00:01:37.540
whatever it was. Yeah.
00:01:38.900
Yeah. But it's cool, man. We love it. All the people are really good. Yeah. That's what I found
00:01:44.860
is that everybody here is so nice and helpful and friendly. It's unbelievable, dude. I love it here.
00:01:51.520
I love it here. I was a little worried the first week because, you know, you're getting into things,
00:01:55.140
but I love it, dude. I don't know what else to say. I just absolutely love it out here.
00:02:00.480
What I find interesting about the East Coast, you know, on the West Coast, you drive down a freeway
00:02:05.820
and you can see the entire city. Like you have this good pulse in regards to how big it is.
00:02:10.460
Yeah. You get back East and it's like, there's trees everywhere. So, and then you get off an
00:02:14.400
exit and all of a sudden you're like, oh, there's a town here. Like I'd even see that from the road.
00:02:18.280
Right. Sure. So my question to you is, is the area you're in, what's the population like? Like,
00:02:24.140
how does it compare to, I don't know, like, is it the size of St. George? Is it smaller?
00:02:28.960
No, not even close. So I grew up in Parowan, Utah, which is about an hour North of St. George.
00:02:35.040
And I think there were 24, 2,500 people in there when I, when I moved there. In fact,
00:02:40.980
I think we had 42 people in our graduating class. So super small, super small.
00:02:45.960
Rams.
00:02:46.520
Yeah. The Rams. That's right. Yeah. Versus, uh, versus the Rams, right? South severe.
00:02:50.920
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but here in the town that we technically live in is, is 4,000 roughly people.
00:02:58.300
So comparable size. And then we're right on the border of Jay and Farmington. Farmington has
00:03:03.320
about seven to 8,000. So in the area, we're about 11,000, maybe 15,000 tops. So it's very,
00:03:11.340
very small, very, very rural. And like I said, I love it, dude. Um, I think this is,
00:03:17.560
this is our place right now. I haven't granted a winter hasn't come, but this is our place right
00:03:22.320
now, dude. It's, it's amazing. Okay, cool. So you get in the, the good small town feel,
00:03:28.120
right? Where everyone's welcoming and everything. That's awesome.
00:03:30.760
Like everybody's welcoming, everybody's friendly and helpful. Um, we've made friends. We've had,
00:03:36.380
we've been over to that. We've got a Lake, not too far away. There's a Lake around every turn.
00:03:40.960
It seems like, um, some friends had us over to the Lake and we pulled into the driveway. No joke,
00:03:45.680
dude. We pulled into the driveway and right out, right off his property. So he lives right on the
00:03:50.960
Lake and right off his property. I don't know, a hundred yards, maybe tops. There's this bald
00:03:55.760
Eagle sitting on this rock in the middle of the Lake and he's flying around. I'm like, dude,
00:04:00.080
this is awesome. This is rad. Like it is so incredible. I love it. I love it. That's cool.
00:04:07.400
Yeah. Very cool, man. All right guys. Well, for those of you who don't know what we're doing here,
00:04:11.620
cause you're tuning in for the first time and, and we know there's people every week. I don't know if
00:04:15.360
you know that Kip, I need to probably communicate this better with you, but the podcast download
00:04:19.260
numbers continue to grow and grow and grow, which is a testament to what we're doing here and how
00:04:24.280
important this work is of restoring masculinity. Uh, but anyways, if you're new, what we're doing
00:04:31.960
here is an ask me anything. I think today we're fielding questions specifically from the Facebook
00:04:36.660
group. Cause we had some leftovers from last week. That's correct. So we'll be fielding questions for
00:04:41.780
the next hour or so. And, uh, hopefully we'll give you some, some valuable insight. And if we don't
00:04:47.000
know what the hell we're talking about, well, we'll hopefully we'll point you in the right
00:04:49.780
direction. So that's what we're doing. And just so you guys know, if you want to join us on that
00:04:54.940
Facebook group, you can go to facebook.com slash group slash order of man. It's a kind of a, a secured
00:05:01.660
group. I guess you would use that term. So you'll have to request membership and, and it's really
00:05:07.000
around the subjects that we talk about today, as well as the topics within, uh, the podcast. And
00:05:12.200
it's, it's really just a network for men to stand for one another and have a kind of more in-depth
00:05:17.920
conversations. We also field questions, uh, from our exclusive brotherhood, the iron council. Uh,
00:05:23.740
you can learn more about the iron council at order of man.com slash iron council. Yep. I love it.
00:05:29.500
Cool. That's exactly right. And you used a good point with the word secure. Some people use safe.
00:05:35.000
I'm really hesitant to use that word. Cause I don't like the idea of safe spaces. For example,
00:05:40.120
it's not a safe space. Like you're going to get what you need to get. Uh, but you can't be so,
00:05:46.300
I don't know. I guess I'd use the term weak that you can't take a little constructive criticism here
00:05:52.560
and there. Cause you're certainly going to get that if you post questions there. Yeah, for sure. And
00:05:56.700
you should, you should, that's the point, right? You need that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So cool.
00:06:02.140
Well, let's get into the questions for today. All right. Sounds good. So our first question is
00:06:05.920
from Tom Guera, how to figure out what I really want to achieve and be in my life.
00:06:14.640
Is that it? That's all. That's it. Uh, what I would say is try as many things as possible.
00:06:19.200
Like your life is an, uh, a collection of experiences. So if you have limited experiences,
00:06:25.700
you're limiting your perspective and ultimately potentially, I guess what you would be interested
00:06:30.940
in doing as a career or as a passion or pursuing something. So what I would say is, especially if
00:06:37.200
you're young, like a lot of 20 year old or 20, 20 somethings ask me things like, you know,
00:06:41.440
what should I be doing? How do I find my passion? Dude, try everything. Like if something sounds
00:06:46.760
interesting or fascinating or intriguing to you, then I kind of feel like you have a moral obligation
00:06:52.720
to try it out. I don't think those ideas come into our mind without some sort of outside influence.
00:06:57.520
I believe it's God. I believe it's the Holy spirit. I don't care what you believe,
00:07:01.160
but ultimately I really believe that we get these, these, I don't know. I don't want to say visions,
00:07:08.260
but promptings, maybe promptings. That's a good word. Yeah. These promptings, it's like,
00:07:12.180
try this, try this, try this. And if you're young or you're trying to find something in your life,
00:07:17.100
just go out and try everything without any sort of expectation. When I started order a man four years ago,
00:07:23.760
I really guys didn't have an expectation of what it would grow today. And I feel like if I did have
00:07:29.120
some sort of expectation, I would have forced a lot of what we're doing here. And I think that
00:07:33.840
would have hindered growth, but I came into it with an open heart and open mind and open soul,
00:07:38.460
trying to figure out what this could be a really kind of selfish in that. I wanted to have good
00:07:43.220
conversations with men that would help me. But just try everything. If I could sum it down to two
00:07:49.840
words, it would be try everything and see what sticks. And then of course, see what doesn't
00:07:54.180
stick. Yeah. And, and Ryan, I'm assuming you say try everything versus think about everything is
00:08:00.240
because there's a drastic difference between thinking about it and actually trying it, right?
00:08:04.680
Like there's no, there's no way you can think yourself into experience, I think. And like,
00:08:10.780
and I don't know, like, I, I just don't, yeah. I just want to reiterate the words that you're using
00:08:15.700
is, is take action and experiment and try. Don't, don't think that you're going to get this figured
00:08:21.160
out because you're going to grab a, a, a book and a pen and paper and just write down some ideas,
00:08:25.820
right? Yeah. I mean, you can't, I mean, thinking is great. Let's not, let's not,
00:08:29.480
let's not overlook that. You got to think you got to be deliberate, intentional, but if all you're
00:08:33.820
doing is thinking, then you're hindering yourself. You're leaving stuff on the table. I think about this
00:08:37.700
with a jujitsu several months ago, I bought a, a book and I can't remember the gentleman's name,
00:08:43.980
but it's like, ah, what is it? It's a university. It's like a book about it. It says something about
00:08:48.400
university and it's a jujitsu university. And I'm like, I've been reading through that and studying
00:08:54.640
that and going through that. And, and I'm like, oh, that's a cool move. And then I get to jujitsu
00:08:58.660
and I'm like, shit, that didn't work. It's like, because you didn't, because you didn't try it yet,
00:09:07.380
you know, you got to earn it. And so the knowledge, it's the, it's the whole like physical part.
00:09:13.460
Or like, or the guy you're going against didn't cooperate. Right. And so I think it's like,
00:09:20.080
you, you got to, you got to experience it. The knowledge is great. I'm not, I'm not undermining
00:09:24.600
the knowledge. And in fact, I think you should go out there and gain knowledge, which is what I'm
00:09:28.860
trying to do by buying, for example, jujitsu books. Um, but if you're not experiencing it,
00:09:34.620
you're, you're selling yourself short. So try it, try it all. Cool. There you go, Tom,
00:09:39.720
Nick Bruno. How do you get a younger boy excited about learning self-defense slash self-worth?
00:09:47.120
I find it interesting that he put those two together in an age of distraction,
00:09:51.100
instant gratification and extreme comfort. Uh, not his son though. He just makes a point here that
00:09:57.420
it's not for his son, but he's asking for, yeah, I guess maybe another boy that he's influencing.
00:10:02.380
Yeah. Yeah. You know, I've spent the past, um, gosh, probably I would say 10 years. Well,
00:10:08.880
no, not my oldest boys, 11. So probably the past eight, seven to eight years, I would say coaching,
00:10:14.820
not only my son, my oldest son, but his teammates, you know, I, I coached three teams a year,
00:10:20.400
um, up to six teams, anywhere from three to six teams a year. And what I, what I've got to remember
00:10:27.200
is that the level that I'm at with competitive sports is different than what these boys are at.
00:10:31.260
So my ultimate objective with my eight year old son, for example, is yeah, to teach him some skills,
00:10:36.560
but ultimately to make it fun and enjoyable. If I can make it fun and enjoyable at that age,
00:10:42.260
as he starts to get older, like my older son's 11 now fun and enjoyable is important, but you see
00:10:48.980
a shift as boys turn into young men. And I see my 11 year old son turning into a young man where
00:10:55.760
he wants to have fun, but he also wants to win. He wants to dominate. He wants to improve.
00:11:01.260
But we wouldn't get to that stage unless we were willing to have fun with it. So I think about,
00:11:08.560
you know, my, my two oldest boys, they go to jujitsu every Thursday night. And at first I was
00:11:14.400
like, what the hell are we learning here? Like they were playing games. Like I think one of the games
00:11:18.600
they called chicken and the snake. Yeah. And how do you know, are you familiar with that?
00:11:22.860
Yeah. Yeah. I'm familiar with those games.
00:11:24.520
Yeah. So they were playing games. I'm like, what the hell, man? Like,
00:11:27.380
let's choke people. Yeah, exactly. And then I would ask my boys, I'm like, what did you guys
00:11:32.700
think? And they're like, dad, we loved it. It was so awesome. I just, I want to go back. And I'm like,
00:11:39.160
oh, I get it now. It's not about the tech, the technical aspects of the game. It's about making
00:11:46.780
it enjoyable and fun. And as they develop and grow and mature, then they can take what they've learned
00:11:53.200
about this being a fun, positive thing into now it's technical. Now it's applicable to other
00:12:00.520
situations I might find myself in. So my, my answer to that is don't focus so much on
00:12:07.160
competitiveness, dominate, win at all costs. They'll get to that stage. But for now it's about making it
00:12:15.000
something enjoyable that they want to go back to so they can eventually get to the point where they
00:12:21.140
want to be technical, they want to advance. And I think that just comes with a level of age and
00:12:26.740
maturity. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny. I have a flip side story where the first couple of times I took
00:12:34.200
my daughter at the time, I think she was six to jujitsu. The school was prepping for a competition.
00:12:41.740
And so it was those games that we normally do with the kids weren't happening. And it was kind of like
00:12:47.760
circle up, let's go over point system and have like these mini matches. And afterwards, like,
00:12:53.860
what do you think? Right? Same thing. Do you have a fun time? She's like, no, that boy's trying to
00:12:58.860
hurt me. Yeah. I don't like that. I'm like, oh man, this is a really bad time for me to bring you
00:13:04.860
to jujitsu, you know? Cause she was like, wait, that wasn't fun. That was like, that guy was trying
00:13:09.620
to hurt me, dad. I was like, yeah, but baby that's part of the game. Yeah. I tried, you know,
00:13:13.780
but it kind of hurt her a little bit and I was like, dang it. Bad timing. I just think we need
00:13:18.440
to understand that as a man, we're at a different stage than our boys. And I think I do this, man,
00:13:24.640
I'm guilty of this much more than probably anybody else is that I try to bring them to my level. And I
00:13:31.520
forget that my oldest is 11 years old. My second is eight. My, my daughter is, is five. My son is
00:13:40.700
three. I don't, they'll get there. Yeah. Like I don't need to be ultra in there. You know,
00:13:48.240
what's funny is even somebody who we think about as extremely disciplined and committed and focused
00:13:54.400
and like the epitome of quote unquote masculinity is Jocko Willink. But I don't know if you remember
00:14:00.220
this or not, Kip, if you were there, but last year at immersion camp, he actually talked about this.
00:14:06.120
He said, forcing your kids into jujitsu competition. That's right. And he said, you know,
00:14:11.540
he even opened up and he said, I feel like I kind of maybe made a mistake by you're going to go
00:14:16.140
against somebody that's, that's harder and that's tougher. And that's all he, he did with his kids.
00:14:22.820
And he feels like that was a mistake. Yeah. Pushed his, pushed his daughter too hard. I think
00:14:28.980
had her go with bigger people all the time. Right. Which, which as a, which is a 30, 40,
00:14:34.660
50 year old man, that makes sense. But as a 10 year old kid, not so much.
00:14:41.000
Yeah, totally. Totally. The only thing that I'd like to add, if you don't mind, Ryan is,
00:14:45.460
is he, he said something about in the age of distraction and instant gratification.
00:14:50.420
And I bring this up really just cause it's on my mind. Um, I was just reading a book about,
00:14:55.860
uh, delayed gratification and instant gratification. And one of the things that,
00:15:00.320
that it referenced was, um, how establishing boundaries and enforcing boundaries with our
00:15:08.420
children when they're young is actually plays a major part in delaying gratification.
00:15:13.840
Hmm. Uh, because we establish a boundary. You need to do these things first. You need to do your
00:15:20.520
homework first. You need to do your chores first. And then there is play, right? There's this
00:15:25.860
opportunity for them to learn a little bit of their grind, do work first gratification later.
00:15:32.180
Right. And, and establishing the boundary is one aspect of it. The other part is actually
00:15:37.140
enforcing it is super, super critical. And whenever we don't enforce those boundaries that we've
00:15:42.760
established, we're undermining the lesson that is to be taught. And the lesson being taught is
00:15:49.300
work first, play second, right? Delayed gratification, the joy of working hard and
00:15:55.140
then reaping the reward at a later time. And so I think, you know, to his point, he's, he's talking
00:16:00.620
mostly about self-defense, but he also made it a reference of delayed gratification here. And now
00:16:04.780
I'm thinking, Hey, there's opportunities for us to kind of set those boundaries even younger
00:16:08.380
and just make sure that, that we stay true to the boundaries that we, that we established with
00:16:13.060
our kids and, and start teaching them kind of those naturally good kind of early habits of clean
00:16:19.780
your room first, play second kind of stuff. Yeah, I agree. And you know, the hard part is
00:16:24.020
the enforcement stuff. Cause that sucks, right? That's not fun. And it's not fun for you either.
00:16:28.620
Yeah. No, of course. And it, and it sucks to, to have to, you know, tell your kid to enforce what
00:16:33.480
you've talked about, you know, to enforce boundaries or to enforce the negative ramifications of,
00:16:39.440
of not doing what you should be doing. That sucks. And ultimately it may create a sacrifice
00:16:44.940
for yourself. You may not be able to go on that trip or take that day, day adventure that you were
00:16:50.800
going to go on because your kids aren't, aren't frankly worthy of, of going on that adventure at
00:16:55.120
the time. That sucks, man. I like, we've been in situations even over the past week or two where
00:17:00.740
our kids haven't measured up to the standard of conduct that we expect of them. And we've had to,
00:17:07.120
we've had to, to skip some, some trips. One was to a wildlife, uh, uh, adventure where we actually
00:17:15.320
go through like a little safari and they can see all animals. They didn't get to do that. We were
00:17:19.900
planning on doing it. And we said, Nope, you guys haven't earned that yet. And that sucks. Cause I
00:17:23.720
wanted to go to totally. And so I remember when I was little, and this is kind of a funny story,
00:17:29.540
but we were going to go to like some, I can't even remember exactly, but it was some like Disney,
00:17:34.080
I don't know, like, like musical or something. And my sister was just being a little jerk.
00:17:43.800
And my mom said, we're not going. And I wasn't being that way, but she was being that way. And
00:17:49.460
so we couldn't go. And so looking at it, I was like, as a child, I was like, well, that sucks.
00:17:53.480
You know, like I got, I didn't get to go on that thing, but, but now I look at it and think, well,
00:17:58.120
that was actually, that was actually bold of my mom and probably the right thing to do in the grand
00:18:04.700
scheme of things, even though it sucked in the moment.
00:18:07.580
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. It's amazing how much, you know, like kids think like, ah, mom and dad's like,
00:18:13.720
you know, preventing us from having fun. And how often it's like, no, you're preventing us from
00:18:18.380
having fun because we wanted to do that too. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly right. Yeah.
00:18:23.740
Yeah. It's funny. Hey, a little side note here. I was going to tell you is I don't know why,
00:18:27.960
but I'm on Libsyn right now. This is where we track all our podcasts and social media stuff. And
00:18:32.540
I'm looking at it and this was just pulled up, but, and I don't know, even know the timeframe,
00:18:38.800
but we've got one and a half million downloads in the United States. Maybe this is in the last month
00:18:43.620
or so. I don't know. I'll have to look a million and a half downloads in the United States,
00:18:48.280
Canada, 66,000. I'm trying to figure out where else do we've got all over. It's crazy. Brazil,
00:18:55.520
4,700 Algeria, 90. What? Yeah. Algeria, Australia. So Canada is a close, not even a close second,
00:19:03.320
a long second with 66,000 Australia, 43,000 downloads, China, 2,200 downloads, Russia. Come on,
00:19:12.080
Russia. You got to pick it up. You only got 600 downloads. Um, dude, check this out.
00:19:17.140
Malawi, which is in South Africa. It's a small little country in South Africa, 4,600 Madagascar,
00:19:25.360
three, three people are listening in Madagascar. Um, that's chilly 412 Mexico 5,400. Anyways,
00:19:33.360
this was just like, I'm digging through this a little bit. Uh, New Zealand, 5,000 downloads in
00:19:40.740
New Zealand. Good job, fellas. Appreciate you. Libya. We got to ramp you up three downloads.
00:19:47.200
Anyways, this is kind of crazy, crazy map. I should shoot this over to you so you can access this.
00:19:52.180
Yeah. I love that. I mean, when we pulled, when we pulled the report that we're, that I created for
00:19:58.300
Iron Council, I was actually surprised even in our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council. Like
00:20:04.220
I didn't realize how many foreigners have, uh, kind of joined the fight.
00:20:09.520
Oh yeah, dude. You know what I mean? It's incredible. It's like, it's really impressive.
00:20:12.680
Like I'm looking at Sierra Leone, six, the six men in Sierra Leone are listening to our podcast.
00:20:18.840
Yeah. Um, yeah, dude, it's awesome. Oh, by the way, Tom Kingwell, we talked about last week.
00:20:24.040
Remember we talking about him? Yeah. South Africa, brother. South Africa.
00:20:29.080
Oh, I know. Yeah. He, he messaged me and started laughing. Yeah. He's like,
00:20:33.300
it was really entertaining to listen to you guys try to figure out where I was from.
00:20:37.260
Yeah. We have guys in the Iron Council. We have guys, Canada, U S Australia, Germany, Korea, Ireland,
00:20:44.660
China. Uh, I love it, dude. I don't even know where half of this entire planet. Like I was in Iraq in
00:20:50.820
2005 and 2006. Now we've got 216 guys listening to the order man podcast in Iraq soon to be thousands
00:20:59.000
and thousands of men. This is going to span the entire planet. I love it. I love looking at this
00:21:03.780
stuff. Libya three. Keep going guys. We need four. That's nuts. All right. Sorry. Tangent. No,
00:21:11.480
no worries. South Africa though. We got a lot of guys in South Africa. That's really cool.
00:21:16.760
Pretty cool. I love it. You know what? I have to, I have to go on this tangent. So,
00:21:22.280
so I'm reading this book about a kind of a crisis around, uh, I was reading these stats around the
00:21:28.180
crisis around fatherless homes or whatever. And I'm like, Asia, check this out. Landon and I read
00:21:33.520
off these stats and she's like, that's crazy. Like the, just the numbers and the stats around
00:21:38.440
the problems tied to that is just blows my mind. And, and I'm going over this stuff with her and
00:21:44.500
she's like, so how do you fix that? And then I'm like, babe, what are you doing? We're doing it,
00:21:50.840
dude. And she's like, what do you mean? I'm like, what do you think the order of man podcast is about?
00:21:55.980
Why do you think I'm so fired up about the iron council? Like that's how you do it.
00:22:00.160
Yeah, man. Right. That's, that's how we get guys. That's how we reduce the number of homes
00:22:05.760
that don't have fathers in them. Why to get guys to level up, to take on responsibilities,
00:22:10.100
to become the men they were meant to be. And that's, that's ultimately what we're accomplishing.
00:22:14.800
And it felt really fun and gratifying to be able to say, Hey, you know what? I'm part of actually
00:22:20.980
doing something about this statistic that bothers me. Yeah, man. I love that. I love that perspective.
00:22:26.180
It's like, this is what's bothering me. This is what's on my mind. And you know what,
00:22:29.140
guys, if you're listening to this right now, I know we're getting off on some tangents here,
00:22:32.180
but if there, whether it's the return to masculinity or something else entirely,
00:22:37.660
if there's something on your mind and it's bothering you, or you see a deficiency or a
00:22:43.980
problem in society, you're a man, dude, it's your obligation to fix it. Not just yap about it and
00:22:50.780
talk about all the wonderful things that could be, but to actually go out into the world and start
00:22:54.880
fixing shit. And, and, and that's what I'm doing. You know, I hear guys in the Facebook group or
00:22:59.580
order a man or iron counselor or wherever, and they're like, well, what are we going to do about
00:23:02.880
it? I'm like, what do you think we're doing, man? Like, I know we could continue to improve it and
00:23:08.320
we will, we will, we'll continue to adapt and evolve and grow. But that's what we're doing here,
00:23:13.540
man, is we're, we're, we're, we're, we're actively working towards a solution rather than just talk
00:23:20.280
about, uh, talk about solutions and ideas. Like we're, we're doing it, man. And I love it. I love
00:23:26.900
it. Yeah. I'm looking at this map, dude. I could spend all day on this map and think about how we
00:23:31.500
could ramp these numbers up here. Yeah. You need to take a screenshot of that. I want to,
00:23:36.440
I'll make that my wallpaper. I don't even want to, I don't want to shoot you a screenshot. I actually
00:23:40.520
want to give you, I'll give you the link. So it's interactive. So you can actually see like Libya,
00:23:45.160
three guys, come on, Libya. We got to ramp this up here. Yeah. It's cool. It's so cool. I love the
00:23:52.140
analogy of being on the court versus being in the stands and watching the game. And, and just to what
00:23:59.440
you're saying, you know, it's like, get on the court, play the game. Yeah, man. You know, the only
00:24:04.280
way you're going to be good at a game or figure out if you're good at a game is by being on the
00:24:08.540
court and attempting, you know what I mean? To play versus sitting on the stands and be a spectator
00:24:13.120
spectator like everyone else. Yeah. All right. So U S is number one. That's obvious. Um, Canada,
00:24:20.180
Canada, obviously U S is number one, Canada, 66,000. So U S is 1.3 million, Canada, 66,000
00:24:29.460
and Australia, not far behind Canada with 43,000. So let's compete guys. Let's make this happen.
00:24:36.000
Australia. I was just going to say this just got competitive. Yeah.
00:24:39.120
Good. Fine. If that works, then whatever. So be it. All right. What else we got?
00:24:45.380
Love it. Harley Migley. How should I tell my boss? I don't want to sheet rock anymore.
00:24:50.520
And I want to work for another company that's doing concrete. I don't want to burn a bridge
00:24:54.780
because he's the biggest carpenter union company in the area. So if I get laid off later
00:24:59.220
on from the concrete company, I might need to do drywall again. Yeah.
00:25:03.440
Well, two things here. Number one, do a good job, do a good job. That's it.
00:25:09.880
Until you leave. Until you leave. That's right. Don't be slacking. Don't be dinking around. Don't
00:25:14.760
have one foot out the door and one foot in like do the, like be the best damn drywaller that ever
00:25:22.380
existed. When they write the history books about drywall, you will be in the history books because
00:25:27.640
you were the guy that whatever implemented the new, new technology or new stuff or hold
00:25:34.060
the Guinness world record for most drywall in 24 hours. I don't know. That's what I would say.
00:25:40.500
Number one, number two, just be straightforward with the dude. Be a man. Hey, John, I appreciate
00:25:48.840
all the opportunities that you've provided me. I've worked my ass off for you. Uh, I, I have done
00:25:54.740
all that I can do and I've really appreciated everything that you've taught me. I've got this
00:25:59.860
wonderful opportunity doing concrete. Wasn't doing concrete over here with Steve. And I feel like
00:26:07.180
this move will be the best thing for me and my family and the people that I have an obligation for.
00:26:13.720
I'm going to pursue this opportunity. I just want, as I leave to thank you for what you've given me
00:26:21.800
to thank you for what you've provided to me. And, uh, I, I am, I am in your debt. I am in your
00:26:30.300
service. And if there's anything I can do is, as I leave over the next couple of weeks to help you
00:26:35.000
finish out some jobs, or maybe even potentially refer you to people that might replace me.
00:26:40.020
I'm happy to do that. I'm happy to help you serve him, serve yourself and serve him. And if you go do
00:26:47.680
concrete and something slows down over there and you reach back out to John, he's going to have no
00:26:53.360
problem bringing you on because he knows when you come to work to do your job, you are somebody who
00:26:59.980
kicks ass and, and gets the job done. And he's not going to have any problem with that. I guarantee
00:27:04.760
that. And if he's going to be an ass about it, well, okay, then you probably made the right move
00:27:11.060
anyways. Yeah. I mean, if someone's going to be an ass and that's your response, like that's how you
00:27:15.680
communicate to him, you know what I mean? That guy has other problems. Come on. Yeah, exactly.
00:27:20.400
Yeah. Well, let's be frank. I mean, you, if a guy came to me and said, Hey, I want to change
00:27:23.840
industries or trades. And I just want to get in this other area. Cause it really interests me.
00:27:27.820
And I respect that individual. I'm not going to take that personal. I totally get that.
00:27:31.920
And if you, you know what, like I'm trying to think about my perspective is quote unquote, John,
00:27:36.160
I would be upset. I would be upset losing you. Yeah. I'll be upset about that. And,
00:27:43.240
and I would try to make do, but if you ever came back to me and said, Hey man, you know,
00:27:47.560
times are slow. Can I come work for you? Like, hell yeah. Finally, dude, I've been counting the
00:27:51.540
days since you would come back and work for me. Yeah. That's what we want to create. Make yourself
00:27:57.580
indispensable. There's a great book. Actually. I think it's what's it called? Lynchpin. It's
00:28:02.040
called Lynchpin by Seth Godin. Make yourself indispensable. Read that book, make yourself
00:28:06.860
indispensable. And, uh, and I think you solve all your problems here. This is not even a
00:28:12.340
problem. It's a great problem to have that you have an opportunity to go pursue something else.
00:28:16.480
Yeah. Yeah. And good job giving some thought to it too, Harley. Like, you know what I mean?
00:28:21.060
You want to handle this appropriately. Yeah. So yeah. Jeremiah Daniel Heathco with both of y'all
00:28:26.780
raising boys, any tips on potty training them? Did you find one way easier than another,
00:28:31.020
or just tried one way and stuck with it? I'm not really the guy to ask on this. My wife takes
00:28:37.320
care of a lot of this. She's the homemaker. And of course I support her and help her. And we talk
00:28:41.580
about this stuff. I hate potty training, dude. I hate potty training. Oh, we have one more. We
00:28:47.860
have four kids and we have one more. That's still not quite potty trained. You can go to
00:28:51.640
number one, but he can't do number two in the potty yet. Yeah. Uh, I don't know, you know,
00:28:58.240
like encourage it. I actually, I know this sounds weird, but I actually let my son watch me pee
00:29:02.860
and he's fascinated by it because he's like, Oh, and then when I'm doing it, I show him it's weird,
00:29:08.600
right? Little dude looking at your junk. I'm like, this is weird. But, but at the same time,
00:29:14.480
I talked to him like, Hey, this is how big boys do it. Like, this is how I do it. And this is how
00:29:18.300
your brothers do it. And he's fascinated. He's like, what the hell's going on here? This is amazing.
00:29:24.380
So I, I foster it that way. I don't, I don't know, man. Today he, he pooped in his pants this morning
00:29:31.540
and I'm like, Ooh, that's gross. Like, I don't know if that's the right thing or not, but those
00:29:36.020
are some of the things that I do. Who knows? Who knows? Maybe you have some better ideas.
00:29:41.760
I think my boys have all been different. So that's the main thing is what works for one kid may not
00:29:47.280
work for the other. I remember my oldest, he, the same thing. He, he would use the bathroom in the,
00:29:53.100
in the toilet easily, but for whatever reason, he did not want to take a dump in that toilet. And it was,
00:29:59.780
it was getting over, like, we're getting fed up. So we're done. Yeah. So we corralled him in the
00:30:05.620
kitchen that had tile and we just like put up like the little baby gate to keep in the kitchen.
00:30:11.780
And we made, and he got him naked and there was access to a bathroom in there and that's it.
00:30:17.500
We just let him put him in the kitchen and, and he would not, he would not like just poop on the
00:30:23.000
ground. He knew that he didn't have something to catch it. So he was like, you're like holding,
00:30:28.060
holding, holding, holding. And eventually he's like crying. Like I got to go, you know,
00:30:31.620
or whatever. And then we're like, go for it, dude. There you go. Yeah. So we didn't have to
00:30:35.860
do that with the other kids, but that's what worked out for him. So I think the main thing too,
00:30:40.380
though, is, and she, same thing. Like I, I take no credit for, for any of this. Um, but, uh,
00:30:48.060
Asia's already started getting our, our seven month year old quasi potty training,
00:30:54.520
like seven months. No joke. Like he's not smart enough to yet to figure it out, but what she's
00:31:02.140
done, she's already thinking ahead. Like if he looks like he's has, like, he's thinking a dump,
00:31:07.340
like he's grunting or whatever, she'll be like, Oh, let's go potty. And she'll like take him to the
00:31:12.080
toilet and hold him over the toilet and he'll use the bathroom in the toilet. That's awesome,
00:31:15.540
dude. That's way better. Cause my wife's like, I just let him go. And I'm not saying one's right or the,
00:31:20.680
right or wrong. I'm just saying my wife is more like, I'll just let him do it when he's,
00:31:24.700
when he's ready. And me as a dad, I'm like, well, I don't want to be shitting his pants when he's
00:31:29.660
five years old, but it all works itself out. It does. Oh man. We laugh cause we've been through
00:31:38.820
it all, man. And then you're going to laugh because this, this is the worst part is when
00:31:43.400
you're on a road trip and you get one of these little guys potty trained and you're in the middle
00:31:48.680
of nowhere and they go, daddy, I gotta go poo poo. And then you, and then you're tempted to say,
00:31:53.380
just go in your pants. Just go for it, man. And then you undermine everything you've worked so
00:31:57.940
hard for over the past several months. Totally. Cause you don't want to pull over and like help
00:32:00.620
this kid to get up on the side of the road. Uh, we're laughing at you, man, but we're not laughing
00:32:06.620
at you. We're laughing with you. We've all, we've all been there. It's brutal. It is, man.
00:32:12.080
Awesome. All right. Adam Elrod, have you covered changes to the iron council? It's been over a
00:32:17.780
year or so. Uh, since he was a part of the iron council and he's thinking about re-upping for a
00:32:23.060
term and wouldn't mind knowing details of what has changed since I left. Sure. Yeah. First off,
00:32:28.760
Adam, I appreciate you, brother. Like every time you comment in the Facebook group, um,
00:32:34.440
it's amazing. It's amazing. I'm like this guy for president, right? Like this guy is,
00:32:41.120
is his insight and his thought and his, his, just his, where he's at is, is incredible to me.
00:32:47.660
It's right in line with what we're doing. Uh, as far as what we're doing in the iron council that
00:32:51.380
may be different over the past year is we've changed communication platforms, which I think
00:32:55.160
has been a huge, huge advancement. Um, I know there was a little pushback at first because you know,
00:33:00.720
you're going to have that anytime you change platforms and something's unfamiliar, you're going to
00:33:04.840
have that. But I think ultimately in, in, in longterm, it's going to be huge growth factor in,
00:33:12.200
in our brotherhood, the iron council. Uh, one of the things that we're working on right now,
00:33:17.540
actively, actively and aggressively pursuing is creating advancements and, uh, so rank advancements
00:33:25.080
or, or level advancements, I should say. And then, um, unlocking certain achievements in the iron
00:33:30.160
council. Because when I started this four years ago, I always, always had the goal or thought about
00:33:36.380
how you, for lack of better term, quantify masculinity. And I think that through our rank
00:33:42.860
advancements and our achievements that we're working to unlock, I think we're, I don't want to say we're,
00:33:49.900
we're, we're cracking the code necessarily, but we're tapping into something that is inherently
00:33:54.780
masculine, which is competition and progress and growth. And that all comes through our rank
00:34:01.840
advancements and our, our achievements that we're going to be unlocking. So, you know, there's a lot
00:34:06.620
in addition to that battle teams, different challenges, automating a lot of different features
00:34:11.320
of the iron council. So it becomes seamless and nothing ever gets overlooked. But I think between
00:34:17.080
those three, four or five different things, uh, you're going to find a different experience than
00:34:21.160
he did before a year ago. Yeah. I think we've also ironed out kind of the path of growth within
00:34:27.960
iron council from a leadership perspective, Ryan. Like I think before originally, we're just kind of
00:34:32.620
like, we'd have a stellar guy and say, Hey, let's, let's make him a battle team leader. And I think
00:34:37.340
the establishment of XOs and fire teams and, and battle team leaders, you know, has kind of create
00:34:43.680
this, this path by which not only you can be a member of the iron council, but then you, you're
00:34:49.560
leveling up in different roles and responsibilities within that, within that ecosystem.
00:34:54.920
I definitely agree. I mean, we're always evolving. We're always growing. And if I've proved one thing,
00:35:00.560
not only the members of the iron council, but hopefully you listening is that I'm open to ideas
00:35:05.460
and I'm, and I'm receptive and, you know, I, I know I let my ego and my arrogance get in the way
00:35:10.460
at times. And I try to limit that as best as I can, but I want to learn. I want to grow. That's
00:35:16.020
why I started this podcast. And so I don't care where you are in life. I don't care who you are,
00:35:21.480
what experiences you've had. I really believe that I can learn something from everyone. And,
00:35:26.620
and, and I take, I take to heart what members of the iron council share with me as far as what's
00:35:32.820
working, what isn't. And I know when guys say, Hey, this is a flaw in the iron council. My knee jerk
00:35:37.460
reaction is to be defensive. But I think if I give it some time, I've really tried to improve
00:35:43.220
when it comes to accepting, I don't say criticism as much as, as feedback. And, and maybe some of
00:35:51.060
that is not as tactful as it should be, but I try to take that as not critical. Just this guy lacks
00:35:57.300
tact and is there truth to what he's saying? And I think that's, what's advanced and helped us grow
00:36:03.280
the iron council to what it is today. Yeah. Jason Benner, I'm having trouble setting new goals,
00:36:11.440
not to brag, but I've always accomplished most things that I've wanted to. And I've always had
00:36:15.820
goals before, but I own my own business, just built a new location and doing well.
00:36:21.880
It is okay to just enjoy yourself. I hate to be too complacent. I think he meant,
00:36:27.840
is it okay just to enjoy yourself? Yeah. I think it's okay to enjoy yourself in different ventures.
00:36:32.320
And it depends on what you're after. You know, if I'm sitting around Sunday dinner and thinking about
00:36:36.220
being with my family, like I don't have any goals. I just want to be present for my kids and,
00:36:41.800
and my wife and enjoy the moment. Uh, I'll give you an example. I was at jujitsu a couple of days
00:36:48.120
ago and, and Pete's high level black belt. And I was talking with him and, and I'm competitive by
00:36:53.240
nature. If I'm going to get into something, I want to be the best. Like, why wouldn't you want to be
00:36:56.700
the best at what you get yourself into? And I sold, I told Pete, I said, you know, I'm really
00:37:00.940
frustrated. He's like, dude, I know I can see it in your face and your demeanor. And he's like,
00:37:05.820
what are you frustrated about? And I said, I want to, I want to freaking win, man. I want to submit
00:37:09.980
people. Like, that's the point of being here. Like I, that's what I want. And he's like, and he said,
00:37:15.840
he's like, I really, he's been training guys for a long time. He says, I really appreciate that
00:37:19.560
attitude, but it's not the right attitude. And he said, what you should be doing instead of
00:37:26.360
defining wins as submitting guys, cause you're not going to define win as not getting swept for
00:37:34.060
the next two hours, not letting anybody get past your guard, not getting armbarred. That's your
00:37:40.180
weakness, whatever your weaknesses, redefine your win is something that's relevant in the moment,
00:37:45.640
not relevant what will happen in the next 10 years, but relevant is what will happen right now.
00:37:50.760
And so what we have a tendency is men of doing. And I think, I don't know that there's necessarily
00:37:56.140
anything inherently wrong with this, but we compare ourselves to other people, right? So I look at
00:38:00.560
you, Kip, you're a brown belt, correct? Or did you recently get your black belt?
00:38:04.560
No, brown. Don't you dare say that.
00:38:06.740
For some reason I thought maybe you did. Anyways, brown belt, you know, it's, it's good to be
00:38:11.000
aspirational. It's good to be, to say, you know, I want to be like Kip, but there's a danger in that
00:38:16.600
I haven't earned what you have with regards to, to your level of commitment and dedication to the
00:38:23.240
craft, right? That's the danger is that I want the results you have without putting forth the
00:38:28.940
effort. And so I can't define my success by what you've created in your life because you're further
00:38:34.040
down the road in some certain areas of life. I'm further down the road in some certain areas of
00:38:38.940
life than potentially you are. So I can't define myself by what you've created. You shouldn't be
00:38:43.660
defining yourself by what I've created and instead redefine wins as something within our own frame.
00:38:51.360
See what you're doing Kip is you're opening up potential and possibility for me in regards
00:38:57.460
to jujitsu specifically in this context. That doesn't mean that I should be comparing myself to
00:39:03.300
you. It just means Kip is showing me what's possible, but I've got to redefine my wins as
00:39:10.260
something that's relevant to me right now. So the, the technicality and the, the level of,
00:39:15.700
of, of, of, uh, of, of practitioner that you're at right now is not something I should be focused
00:39:23.240
on. It's really not what I should be focused on is something more relevant to where I am as a white
00:39:28.880
belt and considering those wins versus what you would consider a win. I hope that makes sense.
00:39:34.680
I feel like maybe I was rambling a little bit there, but I hope that makes sense.
00:39:37.800
No, I think it totally makes sense. What's interesting about that, Ryan, is I was just talking with,
00:39:42.980
with one of our black belts just the other day and, um, and I noticed that he's, he's going for a
00:39:50.680
particular attack constantly. And, and I was like, dude, you know, those guillotines or those calf
00:39:56.620
slicers are getting brutal. Right. And he was like, yeah, that's, I'm just, maybe I'm making that my
00:40:01.600
win. Hmm. So, so his training, he's even being superior right in, in his craft. He has adjusted his
00:40:10.420
wins to, uh, just not tapping guys because maybe that's easy, right? If he goes for the default tap.
00:40:16.480
So he's choosing his win in an area that he needs to improve on and he's adjusting it and he's making
00:40:23.280
that his focus. So I think it goes on both sides of that pendulum. I think this is a great point.
00:40:29.200
Um, I was rolling this weekend with Andy stump. I know a lot of you guys follow him. And as I was
00:40:34.360
rolling with him, we, we go for 10 minute rounds. So as I was rolling with him, he was really working
00:40:40.460
on his guard. He's got a great shin guard and defense. And I was trying to get past him. And,
00:40:44.860
and I felt pretty good after the match. I was like, well, he didn't sweep me. I never got past him,
00:40:49.840
but he didn't sweep me. And I felt good about that as a win. And then I watched him roll with another
00:40:53.180
blue belt and he choked this blue belt out. And I was like, I mean, pretty handedly. And I was like,
00:40:59.760
why didn't he do that to me? And I talked to him about it. He says, well, I wasn't focused on that.
00:41:04.360
He's like, I was focused on working on my guard, improving my guard, keeping you from passing
00:41:07.940
me. So he changed his goal based on who he's, who he's, who he's rolling with. And that was
00:41:15.500
pretty insightful to me because he, what he was working on with one individual was something
00:41:20.180
different than he was working on with another individual. So. Totally. Yeah. Totally. I love it.
00:41:26.380
Yeah. Matt Jacobs. My son is 15 months old and goes without saying that he can be frustrating at
00:41:34.060
times. What were some things you guys did to stay cool and collected when your kids throw tantrums or
00:41:40.460
would hit you at a frustration at that age? Did he say 15 months? 15 months. Yeah, man. That's
00:41:46.200
tough. A little over a year. I mean, he doesn't know what he's doing ultimately. Right. He he's just,
00:41:50.680
he's basically not acting out of instinct. That's all it is. That's instinct right now. My wife and I
00:41:56.160
were laying in bed this morning and my son comes up and he like got in between my wife and I,
00:42:01.520
he's like, my mom, my mom, he's, he's, he's acting out of instinct, right? He needs her.
00:42:10.000
He needs her to stay alive. And so the things that he's doing is, is acting out of instinct.
00:42:15.860
That's all your son's doing. All right. That's what you need to understand. First and foremost,
00:42:19.560
next, I talk about this all the time. Take care of yourself, brother. Take care of yourself because if
00:42:26.120
you can disengage from your other priorities and obligations, and I realized it's not always easy,
00:42:30.980
but if you can disengage from those things, even if for, if it's for one or two or three hours a
00:42:37.020
week, you know, every, every Monday and Wednesday, you're going out and you're, you're, you're shooting
00:42:41.920
archery or you're a jujitsu or you're, you're a bowling league, or, you know, you're going out and
00:42:47.220
having a drink or two with the guys or whatever that looks like for you. I don't know. You got to do
00:42:52.600
that stuff because now you can come back into the relationship with your wife. You can come back into
00:42:57.120
relationship with your son, re-engage, rejuvenated, recharged, and ready to handle him kicking you
00:43:05.900
out of instinct, not out of him, not necessarily liking you or something like that. So learn to
00:43:11.400
take care of yourself. That that's the answer. Yeah. I love that. That's funny that you, you were
00:43:16.380
just having that conversation with your wife because, uh, our boy, he's, he's seven months old now.
00:43:23.080
And, uh, he's just a tank. Like he just keeps eating. Like he does not want to stop eating.
00:43:29.120
And it's, and it's almost like really shocking. I'm like, dude, like seriously, stop already.
00:43:34.380
And, and if anyone holds food in front of him, he'll yell at you. He'd be like, ah, ah, like,
00:43:41.380
like full out just yelling. And, and he was doing that the other day and I'm laughing.
00:43:45.280
And, and I'd said this to Asia, I'm like, you know, it's really funny is like, we have a tendency
00:43:49.380
to like yelling. We, we label that and go, oh, well, he's not really well behaved or he's overly
00:43:55.280
aggressive or blah, blah, blah. We like, we add some meaning to it. And I'm like, but reality,
00:43:59.100
all that he's doing is ensuring that he doesn't die. Right. It's 100% just instinct. He's saying,
00:44:06.320
keep me fed. I don't want to die. Like that, that is, that is his mindset. He's not thinking about it,
00:44:12.760
right? Totally. Totally. It is, is 100%. He is a animal and he is just trying to survive in this
00:44:21.260
world. I don't want to die. Yeah. And it includes two things, eating food and being protected by mom.
00:44:27.840
Like that is his world. That's all he cares about. So yeah. The only thing I'd add for Matt,
00:44:33.240
to be honest, and we tell our boys this because you don't know, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't
00:44:39.200
admit this or say this, but I, you don't know people's tolerance, right? Like what you can deal
00:44:45.360
with sometimes. And so when, when I've had my older boys watch our younger kids, we, and Asia really
00:44:53.920
started this and I've just kind of jumped on board because I, I'm like, oh, that's golden. And we
00:44:58.680
always tell him, Hey, if you get overly frustrated, like you feel frustrated or mad or whatever, when
00:45:04.920
you're with a little kid, put him in the crib, walk away. You know what I mean? And just take a
00:45:11.540
break, right? Don't try to control the situation. Stop them from crying because guaranteed whenever
00:45:17.180
you've all held a kid and you're getting flustered, the way you're going to handle that kid is not
00:45:21.380
going to make him more happy, right? Right. They can almost sense that you're frustrated and
00:45:26.120
they'll just even be more crazy. So worst case, if you get in a position where you're just a little
00:45:30.940
ticked off or a little too fresh, just walk away. Yeah. Let them cry. Yeah. Babies are good at
00:45:36.120
crying by themselves. They'll be okay. So you remind me of something. Yeah. You remind me of
00:45:41.180
something interesting here because I saw a post on Facebook or Instagram or whatever. And, and it was
00:45:47.220
talking about timeout and, and the woman who had made this post said, you should never give your child
00:45:51.980
timeout because what they're saying is that they have a neglect or something that they're not receiving
00:45:57.380
that they want. That's why they're acting out. And that's why ultimately you have to give them
00:46:00.600
timeout. And I don't agree with that, by the way, I think your children need a timeout occasionally,
00:46:05.320
but the reason I need it or you need it. But the reason I bring it up is because it's actually a
00:46:12.680
very interesting thought. You know, I've thought about where my kids, um, act out or misbehave or,
00:46:19.160
or whatever it is they're doing. And I thought, okay, well, after this post, I thought, well,
00:46:24.060
what is it that this, that my son or daughter is missing right now? And is that something I can be able to
00:46:29.560
help? At times it just means that they're being a little asshole and they need time out at other
00:46:35.820
times. It's like, Oh, Oh, I've neglected my part of the deal. But that thought is at least giving me
00:46:44.400
some perspective and thought process about when a child needs timeout and when they might just need
00:46:50.400
some attention to, and it's made me a more well-rounded father.
00:46:54.060
That's so true. I mean, how many times, at least for me, I can count numerous times where my kid
00:47:01.220
acts out in some type of way, like yelling or, you know, throws a tantrum, but guess what led up to it?
00:47:08.020
What led up to it is me doing something, trying to multitask, not being present to my kid and them
00:47:13.880
going, Hey dad, blah, blah, blah. Hey dad, blah, blah, blah. Hey dad. Hey dad. You know what I mean?
00:47:18.340
And eventually they get frustrated. And it's like, yeah, I'd get frustrated too. I'd do the same thing
00:47:25.280
if I was talking to Asia, going, Hey Asia, Asia, Asia, listen, Asia. You know what I mean? It's
00:47:29.880
like, come on. I mean, so some of it's like us being present, but, and it's funny when they get
00:47:34.300
a little bit, I think 15 months, 15 months is a little too old for this, but I can't count how many
00:47:38.960
times my kids are like throwing a tantrum and I come into it like funny, like what you're going to cry
00:47:45.240
like a baby. And then I go tickle them and wrestle with them. And then they feel, and then they also
00:47:50.100
realize how silly that was. And they're like, Oh, okay. And then they are cool. And then we talk.
00:47:54.200
Right. So I don't know. Yeah. All kinds of ideas. All right. Gallon Edwards, is there a way to get
00:48:00.620
started training jujitsu if you don't have a ton of spare time or money? So this is interesting because
00:48:08.060
I got a lot of questions like this in the financial planning world, people I'd meet with prospective
00:48:13.600
clients. And what they would say a lot of the times is, well, I don't have enough money as much
00:48:19.840
money as I'd like to invest right now. So I'm going to wait until I get to that point. It's like, no,
00:48:23.380
no, no, no, no, no, no. This is wrong. Something. Yeah. This is wrong. This is not right. Thinking
00:48:29.020
correct. Thinking would say, I don't have enough that I, as much as I'd like to invest right now,
00:48:34.660
but I have $25 a month. So I'm going to start until I get 50, until I get a hundred,
00:48:38.800
until I get 500, until I get a thousand a month that I can invest. If you don't start right now,
00:48:44.500
you will never start. You will never start. So as Teddy Roosevelt says, start with what you have,
00:48:52.440
where you are right now or something. I butchered that, but, but you get the idea. Start right now
00:48:58.580
with what you have and the time that you have and who you are and what you are. And you can always
00:49:05.400
build and grow upon that. Is it ideal? Maybe not, but it's better than nothing.
00:49:11.840
It's the Kaizen method. 1% better every day, not a hundred percent better every day,
00:49:17.280
1% better every day. And then you can build on that and that and that and so on. And then,
00:49:23.280
you know, time might free up or you might have the financial capital to take a little bit more time
00:49:28.480
off at work, which is kind of where I'm at right now so that I can invest more time into some other
00:49:33.260
ventures like jujitsu and hunting and some of these other things that I'm interested in.
00:49:38.100
So don't ever let the idea that you don't have as much as you'd like be an excuse not to start
00:49:44.940
where you are. Yeah. And you just might need to be creative. I mean, it's amazing what two guys,
00:49:50.880
if you get some other guy or if your son is older or something, it's amazing what you could learn with
00:49:56.000
two bodies and some YouTube and just get started that like figure out a way to get started,
00:50:01.500
right? If money is really, really tight and you can't afford like a school, a lot of schools do
00:50:05.720
punch passes too. So buy a 10 class punch pass, go twice a month to start off. Yep. Right. Now the
00:50:12.680
frustrating part is that will plateau and then you'll feel like you're just showing up just to
00:50:16.020
get your ass kicked. Yes. But then at that point you're in the space physically and mentally to be
00:50:21.420
able to expand from there. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, that's, oh, we talked about Jocko earlier. That's
00:50:26.540
actually how Jocko started. I think he went to a class, if I remember correctly, he went to a class or
00:50:30.740
went with a buddy and he's like, I never want to be manhandled like that again. And then he would
00:50:35.700
literally roll with other guys in his unit or friends that he had on the grass, like on the
00:50:42.280
grass outside training in this exactly right. So just do what you can with what you have, where you
00:50:47.480
are. That's what Teddy Roosevelt said. That's what I was trying to say earlier. Oh yeah. When you didn't
00:50:51.860
think about it and just came natural that time. That's right. All right. Logan Rowe, how do you feel
00:50:57.480
about Dave Ramsey's, uh, Dave Ramsey and his financial strategy? Well, I think Dave Ramsey's
00:51:04.180
helped millions and millions of people out of debt and building wealth. I mean, what right do I have
00:51:09.640
to, to say anything contrary to that? It's the proofs in the pudding, right? I mean, it's pretty
00:51:14.620
simple. You know, does he have everything right? No, I think he's missing some things with regards to
00:51:19.520
the investment side of things. He's not a financial advisor. So I think he's missing some, uh, some of that
00:51:25.540
side of things, especially when it comes to the investment arena. But as far as debt, debt
00:51:30.640
consolidation, budgeting, saving money, I mean, he's helped literally millions of people get out
00:51:39.180
of debt and start saving kudos. Cause that's incredible. Yeah. So I just think you have to
00:51:45.660
take it with a grain of salt, just like you're listening to this podcast. Everything that Kip and
00:51:50.260
I say today, you ought to probably take with a grain of salt. No. Yes. Yes. Believe it or not,
00:51:56.520
Kip, we don't know at all. Right. So take it all with a grain. It feels like you do from my
00:52:03.160
perspective too. Um, you know, it's like, just, just learn what's going to apply to your situation.
00:52:09.760
And if you feel like Dave Ramsey has some good information to get you out of debt and get you
00:52:13.460
budgeted and get you saving money, then take it and run, take, take the good stuff, run with it,
00:52:19.080
take the things that, that, uh, that you don't feel like apply and maybe find somebody else to
00:52:24.000
fill in that gap. But, uh, we don't have to look for singular sources of information, but to say
00:52:29.380
that Dave Ramsey doesn't have any information would be, uh, would be a lie. I mean, he's got some great
00:52:35.860
stuff. Yeah. All right. Josh Coughlin, what have you done to your house to make it more, uh, make it a
00:52:43.220
defensible space? This is the house you just moved into as a week ago. This is tough for me because
00:52:52.180
it, there's a lot of, uh, I don't know. I don't know how much I want to disclose to you guys here.
00:52:57.860
Actually, you know, to say we have tons of open space. There's a ton of open space. Uh, there are a
00:53:03.140
lot of entry points to the house as well. So I've had to really think about, I mean, there's probably
00:53:09.340
nine to 10 different ways outside of just windows that you could enter this home. So I've got to be
00:53:15.440
very, that might be an overstatement, maybe five or six, but I've had to be very, very aware of where
00:53:22.680
the entry points are into the home. So we've, we've done a lot of things. We have, um, some,
00:53:27.800
we have a security system. Number one, we also have, uh, security cameras. That's, that's another
00:53:34.400
thing. We've got our, our dogs that stay in the home with us. In fact, our German shepherd is a, uh,
00:53:41.840
I would call maybe a Rover or a patroller. And what's interesting about him is he will go lay in
00:53:47.520
my daughter's room and he will get up. And I know this because I wake up when he does it. Cause I can
00:53:51.560
hear those little claws, like Raptor claws on the hardwood floor. He'll patrol the whole second floor.
00:53:58.160
It's really interesting. He'll get up and he'll run, he'll, he'll walk around the whole second
00:54:03.400
floor and then he'll go lay down two hours later up patrol lay down two hours later up patrol lay
00:54:11.340
down. He does that all night long. This is a German shepherd. Interesting. It's really, really
00:54:17.020
interesting. That's cool. So we've done that. Um, but we're upgrading locks. Uh, of course we've got
00:54:23.360
the cameras in place. Like I had said earlier, um, I'm, I'm teaching the kids about, um, entry and
00:54:28.900
exit points. We've talked about even just being here for the past three weeks or so. Now, uh, we've
00:54:34.900
talked about an emergency plan. If there's a fire or an earthquake or a natural disaster or whatever it
00:54:40.280
may be. A couple of other things that we've done is, uh, we're, we've called a, uh, an electrician to
00:54:48.340
bring a generator into the house. So we'll have, if the power goes out, we'll have an
00:54:53.180
external, external, um, source of power through the generator. Are you connecting it up to the
00:54:58.880
breaker? It'll be, it'll be hooked up directly to the breaker. And that's a, that's a big deal here
00:55:02.960
because power tends to go out in this area. Not, not all the time, but it does go out enough that
00:55:08.660
that's something that you ought to consider. It's a lot of little, little, uh, considerations. One
00:55:13.500
resource I would give you above and beyond what I'm telling you right now is go to Clint Emerson,
00:55:18.920
a hundred deadly skills. You can follow him on Facebook or Instagram. He's got a couple of
00:55:22.740
books out. Those books are actually really cool. Cause they're there. They have lots of pictures,
00:55:27.760
which is good for me. Yeah. My teenage sons are like, dad, look how we can hide weapons in our
00:55:32.020
butt. Yeah, exactly. He's got stuff like that, but he's also got some, some much more applicable
00:55:38.580
information as well. Uh, so go check out what he's, what he has to offer. But one of the things that he
00:55:44.120
talks about in his second book primarily is how to defend your space. And there's a lot of good
00:55:49.260
information in there. Again, that's Clint Emerson, 100 deadly skills talking about defending your
00:55:55.280
home. Check this out. This is this, this made my hair stand on my neck. So my, uh, where were,
00:56:01.760
where were my kids? Why was I home alone? I think they were at the lake. I came back early. Yeah.
00:56:09.040
Came back early. Cause I had to work in the morning. I get to the house and I take down the garbages.
00:56:14.840
And when I grabbed the garbage cans on the side of the house, I like, I hear something pretty loud in
00:56:20.400
the backyard and the dogs back there, which then rules out like a deer or something. I don't know
00:56:27.260
if she was, you know what I mean? Anyway, I heard something that kind of weird, you know, I take a
00:56:33.180
look, I don't see anything. And then, um, I get in the house and I thought I heard something in the
00:56:38.960
house. So I'm like, what the crap? So of course I get my gun and I kind of sweep the house.
00:56:45.940
Then I get a text from my wife and says, Kika's really worried about you. She thinks that there's
00:56:52.200
a robber at the house. And I was like, what? She just had that feeling or what? Yeah. Yeah. She was
00:56:58.960
getting ready for bed and she's like, I'm worried about dad. And she just came up with this story.
00:57:03.560
And I'm like, oh man. So I'm like full out, like sleeping with my, sleeping with my handgun.
00:57:09.520
Cause I'm like, man, this is, that made me really nervous. You know, kind of got my senses all. Yeah.
00:57:16.160
It was, it was weird. So what was it? Nothing. I couldn't find nothing. Interesting. House was
00:57:21.700
locked up. Fine. Check cameras. Everything looked good. I was just like, huh? Just kind of, I don't know.
00:57:27.900
Someone telling me to be a little bit more aware of my surroundings, I guess. I don't know. Yeah. Crazy.
00:57:33.560
Cool. All right. A couple more questions. Yeah. Let's go for a couple more. Yep.
00:57:37.580
All right. Chris Penning. How, uh, how do I not let stress dominate my mental space? And I think
00:57:44.880
actually this question for Chris might even come back a little bit to, um, Matt's question about
00:57:50.560
his five month year old, right? There's a little bit of like, you know, stress, right? With a five year
00:57:56.140
old throwing a fit. So, or a 15 month year old. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's stress is normal. Right. And I
00:58:01.560
think we, I think it's just, it's, it's part of life. I think you're going to have things in life
00:58:06.500
that are stressful. And I actually think that's a good thing. It means you're probably pushing and
00:58:10.100
testing and, and, and, and expanding outside of your comfort zone. Uh, but I think what you want
00:58:15.420
to be aware of is chronic stress because that can create all sorts of health problems. Chronic
00:58:19.900
stress, um, is, is different things, whether it's lack of sleep or, or fat buildup. I'm reading
00:58:26.140
some books right now about building up fat through cortisol release in the body and, and how, yeah,
00:58:31.880
dude, it's crazy. Um, Ben, in fact, Ben Greenfield just did a podcast. Uh, it was about a week ago
00:58:37.820
on 16 reasons that you're not losing fat. And he said, one of the reasons is through, uh, is because
00:58:44.320
of excessive stress and chronic stress, uh, cortisol levels increase, which helps, uh, maintain, um, fat
00:58:52.060
because your body is storing that up. The body's amazing. So, so if your body experiences this type
00:58:58.760
of stress, it stores that up knowing that there might be some sort of, I don't know, some sort of
00:59:04.540
activity that may come up that it would need to rely upon that level of, of fat. Think about the, I mean,
00:59:10.660
back in the day, right? The natural, you know, caveman era, right? Stress meant what?
00:59:17.480
Starving and starvation. That's, those are the things that you stress out about, right? So it's like,
00:59:21.460
oh, he's stressed. That means he, he didn't get the kill this evening and is, and they're also
00:59:26.940
going to starve for the night. Right. So exactly. So the body is an amazing thing. So I think you
00:59:32.080
have to be very, very careful of chronic stress. I think his question was, what do you do about it
00:59:36.820
though? Yeah. Um, have releases. Don't let it dominate is. Yeah. The key is to, to have releases,
00:59:42.680
uh, and, and in constructive environments, I go, I keep going back to jujitsu. I go back to hunting.
00:59:48.120
I go back to activities. I go back to having friends and the things that I've always
00:59:51.440
talked about for the past four years is really taking care of yourself and finding outlets.
00:59:56.500
It's very easy for that stress to, to build up and become very overwhelming. We have a lot of
01:00:01.520
obligations as men taking care of the bills and making sure our kids are being raised right. And,
01:00:06.180
and making sure as to our earlier question about defensible spaces and making sure that our family's
01:00:11.420
protected. There's a lot of stressors in life. And ultimately that's your job. But if you can't find a
01:00:16.800
constructive, positive outlet to be able to release some of that, one of the things that my wife really
01:00:23.380
likes doing is she likes to, to do canning. So she's got a certificate as a certified master
01:00:29.020
canner. So she really likes to preserve foods and build up food storage. And as one of the things that
01:00:35.440
she does is she, she takes these jars of food, whether it's salsa or vegetables or peaches,
01:00:42.140
and she cans these things and she'll, she puts them into the steamer and the steamer essentially,
01:00:48.660
as far as I know, she could tell you more about this than I can. Vacuum seals. The can is what it
01:00:54.020
does. So it keeps all the steamer does. So it keeps all of the air out of the, out of the can itself.
01:01:00.300
It sucks all of that air, which preserves the food itself so that if you need it in a year,
01:01:04.560
then you can use it and nothing will be wrong with it. Right? So it's, it's literally vacuum
01:01:09.820
sealing the can. Well, if you look at the way she does this process, as she puts it on the stove
01:01:16.140
and in a, in a steamer, and she's got anywhere from five to eight cans in the steamer, but there's
01:01:22.460
that steam has to go somewhere. So there's a little release valve on the steamer itself.
01:01:27.340
And so as this thing heats up and the water is steaming, it's vacuum sealing the cans,
01:01:32.340
but there's a little valve that the steam is actually being released through. If that steam
01:01:38.020
didn't release through that little valve, what would happen? It would blow up quite literally.
01:01:45.340
The steamer would explode. And that's what happens in our life. If we don't have a little release
01:01:53.440
mechanism, a little valve that lets the, the cortisol release happen and lets the steam get
01:01:59.420
out. If you will, then we blow up. And how do we blow up? We, we lose our patience with our
01:02:04.780
kids. We say something mean or, or, or contentious to our wife or, or worse, you know, we abuse her
01:02:13.860
potentially even on the, on the extreme. You've got to have a release valve. This is a principle.
01:02:20.560
That's why it applies not only to how we behave as men, but it applies to canning food is because
01:02:25.900
it's a principle that applies to every situation. So what is your release? If you don't have one,
01:02:33.220
you're doing yourself and the people that you care about a disservice, because at some point,
01:02:37.360
whether you have or have not already, you will blow up unless you can release the steam somehow.
01:02:44.520
Yeah. Well, and, and to take it back to the, the iron council, you know, we we've seen guys and I
01:02:51.500
guess even order of man guys that have bought the battle planner or have bought sovereignty and know
01:02:57.460
what the battle plan is in the, in the four different quadrants we work on. That's a reason why we focus
01:03:02.940
on all four, right? We we've seen it time and time again, where guys will, will dive into one
01:03:08.140
quadrant thinking, Hey, this is super critical and works, you know, and, and they'll, they'll neglect
01:03:13.640
these other aspects of their life. And, and things like this happen, right. Where, where marriages and
01:03:19.860
relationships get on shock, uh, you know, um, slippery ground and we start looking in and seeing issues
01:03:28.120
in other areas of our life. Right. And so, um, yeah, just kind of want to reiterate that's, that's why
01:03:33.360
we focus in those four areas on our battle plans. Right. Yep. Definitely. Well, we have one or two
01:03:40.380
more questions. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go with one more if that's okay. So Aaron Cummins, what would you
01:03:45.840
recommend for making a new guy friends? I have lost touch with my high school buddies and my college
01:03:50.920
buddies all over the country. By the way, that's probably a good thing. Love spending time with the
01:03:55.200
family, but I feel that I would benefit from some interaction with other like minded men. And I love
01:04:00.800
that Aaron made that note of other like minded men, because I think that's critical. Yeah. I'm
01:04:07.020
going to answer this very quickly and tell you to go to one of our Friday field notes. It wasn't last
01:04:13.700
week. Um, I think it was two or three weeks ago and it's called, what is it called?
01:04:25.200
I thought I had it. Maybe I don't. One of the Friday field notes was, um, establishing,
01:04:32.560
establishing yourself. Oh, here it is. So it wasn't last week. It was the week before
01:04:36.400
and it was establishing yourself or strategies for success in a new environment. So you're listening
01:04:42.920
to the podcast because you're asking this question, go back, find the title that says strategies for
01:04:48.700
success in a new environment. And I think I break down, if I remember correctly, seven strategies
01:04:53.900
for finding other individuals who are like-minded, who believe in what you believe in, how you can
01:05:00.320
network, how you can grow. Um, rather than just give you a quick answer here, the best, the best,
01:05:06.720
uh, resource for that is that podcast that I just did. So check that out. Again, it's called
01:05:12.060
strategies for success in a new environment. And whether you're in a new environment or not,
01:05:16.400
it's still going to apply. Ryan, do you mind sharing why you think this is important?
01:05:23.520
Why having, having, yeah. Like why is this important in your life or? Yeah. Well, it's,
01:05:28.760
it's critical for a, for a lot of different reasons. Number one is it's going to, it's going to help you
01:05:32.580
grow. Like if all you're thinking about is you and all your, your, your, your only space is you,
01:05:37.140
you're not going to be opened up to the potential or the opportunities that, that are there,
01:05:43.160
you know, the other perspectives and ideas that you have. Another reason we talked about it is
01:05:47.740
having a, a place where you can release some of that stress that you have. Um, because it's going
01:05:54.300
to add up, it's going to build up in your life, whether you're aware of it or not, it will build
01:05:58.260
up unless you have that outlet. The other side of it is that men push by design. We're competitive
01:06:04.020
in nature. And so if you're around other like-minded men, uh, who are, and this is a disclaimer
01:06:09.860
here, you've got to find men who are achieving at high levels. If they're achieving to the same
01:06:14.100
level that you are or lower potentially, even those aren't people you necessarily want to be
01:06:18.320
around. Uh, for example, the quote is, if you're in the, if, if you're the smartest person in the
01:06:23.060
room, you're in the wrong room. And that applies to smarts. That applies to skills that applies to
01:06:28.200
whatever metric you want to measure. If you're in the position where you're the best at whatever
01:06:32.780
that metric is, then you've got to find yourself in a new room. That's why when, when I go to class,
01:06:38.040
like he doesn't have us rolling with white belts. He has this rolling with, with blue or purple or
01:06:43.300
brown. And I rolled with some black belts yesterday because I'm not going to improve unless I roll with
01:06:47.620
those individuals. So there's a lot of reasons why it's important that you find other like-minded
01:06:53.540
men, but ultimately it's for stress relief. It's for perspective. It's for competition and growth and
01:06:59.220
progress in your life. We've always, men have always for tens and hundreds of thousands of years
01:07:03.980
operate, operated in tribes. And only recently through technology and through being somewhat
01:07:10.300
isolated have gone into this lone wolf syndrome. I do want to go through a kit real quick. Maybe just
01:07:16.240
these seven, just in case you haven't listened to it. Um, number one, join a local church. Number two,
01:07:21.800
join a business or civic organization. Number three, find friends in your area. Number four,
01:07:28.220
leverage your interest in hobbies. Number five, go where the people are. Number six, let people know
01:07:35.160
that you're new. And number seven, be interested, be interested in other people. So those are the
01:07:40.380
seven tips. And again, Friday field notes, we'll go more into depth on each one of those.
01:07:44.100
Awesome, man. We set?
01:07:45.800
I think we're set. I think we got through quite a bit today. Um, I know we have some additional
01:07:49.440
questions, uh, so hopefully we'll get to those next week, but, uh, yeah, I think we've got through a lot
01:07:54.100
today. Yeah. Stay tuned guys. We'll, we'll get through these other questions. Um, next week.
