Order of Man - How to Initiate Boys Into Manhood ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 any time a female is in the mix, it changes the dynamic. 1.00

00:00:05.540 It changes the way that boys and men show up.

00:00:08.440 They posture, they cower a little bit,

00:00:12.140 that they're not as bold, they're not as assertive,

00:00:14.380 they're not as competitive.

00:00:16.180 And it's not entirely bad in the appropriate context,

00:00:19.380 but when it comes to building a rite of passage,

00:00:21.620 we cannot allow a woman into the mix 1.00

00:00:25.260 because she's going to change the dynamic. 0.96

00:00:27.600 And that is not a slight against women. 1.00

00:00:30.000 As a father of three boys,

00:00:33.540 I know how challenging and difficult it can be

00:00:36.880 to help usher our young men into manhood

00:00:40.720 and couple the complexity and the challenge

00:00:44.480 and the struggles of ushering them into manhood

00:00:46.920 with the idea that culture and society

00:00:49.180 don't really want you to.

00:00:51.380 In fact, much of culture and society from government

00:00:53.920 to education to academia and the medical community

00:00:57.800 would love nothing more than for your young men to be perpetual little boys or inferior women. 0.99

00:01:06.680 It is our job as their fathers,

00:01:08.520 as men of neighborhoods and communities to raise these boys,

00:01:12.840 to usher them into manhood, 0.80

00:01:14.340 and to make these boys into men who will be our future leaders,

00:01:18.680 who will be our future protectors,

00:01:20.520 who will provide for themselves and for their communities and their loved ones.

00:01:24.960 And unless you can figure out a way to do that effectively,

00:01:27.940 they will be inundated with academia,

00:01:30.660 with government and with the medical challenges,

00:01:37.900 the messaging,

00:01:40.320 the propaganda that would love nothing more again

00:01:43.960 than to keep them sedated as who they are

00:01:46.760 or who they have the potential to become.

00:01:48.400 So today, I want to talk with you about eight tips that you can incorporate

00:01:52.320 when it comes to raising your boys into men.

00:01:55.080 This is for fathers,

00:01:56.560 and this one is actually also for single mothers.

00:01:59.760 We have a lot of single mothers who listen, 1.00

00:02:01.600 who realize that they cannot fully help turn their boys into men.

00:02:06.160 And so they tune into this for information,

00:02:09.000 resources, guidance, direction, instruction.

00:02:11.820 And so whether you're a father of boys

00:02:13.320 or a single mother of boys,

00:02:15.320 I hope this one applies to you.

00:02:17.440 And please take this for what it is.

00:02:19.580 I'm not going to give you the exact thing

00:02:21.400 that you should do for a rite of passage.

00:02:23.420 I'm going to give you eight factors or eight considerations

00:02:26.940 when it comes to building these rites of passages,

00:02:29.700 because I don't know your boys.

00:02:31.420 I know they're boys.

00:02:32.660 I know they have a set of characteristics and patterns and behaviors

00:02:36.420 that generally make them young men and eventually grown men,

00:02:40.080 but I don't know them specifically.

00:02:42.080 And so I'm going to give you eight things that you can incorporate,

00:02:44.620 and then it's up to you to be creative

00:02:46.720 and how you implement it.

00:02:48.040 Let's get right into it.

00:02:48.820 Number one is there has to be some level of separation.

00:02:52.360 Guys, if you don't have a level of separation from women, 1.00

00:02:55.840 from their sisters, from their mommies,

00:02:58.300 from their grandmamas, from their aunties,

00:03:00.840 this is not going to be effective.

00:03:03.100 Okay?

00:03:03.240 I've done this long enough that I know,

00:03:05.840 and I've worked with young men in groups and individually long enough

00:03:09.480 where I know that any time a female is in the mix, 0.99

00:03:14.160 it changes the dynamic.

00:03:15.940 It changes the way that boys and men show up.

00:03:19.280 They posture.

00:03:21.400 They cower a little bit.

00:03:24.500 They're not as bold.

00:03:25.860 They're not as assertive.

00:03:26.960 They're not as competitive.

00:03:27.960 And they just change.

00:03:31.300 And it's not entirely bad in the appropriate context.

00:03:34.360 But when it comes to building a rite of passage,

00:03:36.440 we cannot allow a woman into the mix 1.00

00:03:40.740 because she's going to change the dynamic. 0.96

00:03:43.160 And that is not a slight against women. 1.00

00:03:45.560 That is not me saying I hate women 1.00

00:03:47.240 or there's no value that women add. 1.00

00:03:49.140 That's not what I'm saying at all.

00:03:50.740 I'm saying that when women are there, 1.00

00:03:52.820 with boys and with men, we change.

00:03:56.300 And so in a rite of passage environment,

00:03:58.620 we have to separate them from mommy and sissy 1.00

00:04:03.740 and grandmama and auntie and whoever else might be there 0.55

00:04:08.640 and get them around other men and other boys.

00:04:12.340 That's it.

00:04:13.400 That is a hardline stance that I have

00:04:15.360 because everything else is going to just not be as effective

00:04:20.140 if there's a woman involved. 0.99

00:04:22.240 And not to mention that women are naturally 1.00

00:04:24.580 going to want to nurture.

00:04:25.920 They're going to want to coddle.

00:04:27.300 They're going to want to protect.

00:04:28.520 They're going to want to preserve.

00:04:30.540 Ladies, I love you.

00:04:32.460 But you have to stay out of it in this case

00:04:34.260 and let the men be men, the boys be boys,

00:04:37.320 and let the men turn the boys into men. 0.93

00:04:40.560 A great example of this is even in sports situations.

00:04:43.700 When I was coaching my son's teams,

00:04:45.780 I would have women who would sit on the sideline with me 1.00

00:04:48.700 and they would rub their kids' shoulders during breaks and halftime.

00:04:53.760 It's like, don't do that.

00:04:55.880 I'm their coach.

00:04:57.020 I'm the man.

00:04:57.920 They're the boy.

00:04:58.960 Let me handle this.

00:04:59.940 When they get home and they've got ouchies and boo-boos

00:05:02.960 and everything, you can do whatever you want.

00:05:05.100 You can give them a little massage.

00:05:07.300 You can give them an Epsom bath salt thing.

00:05:09.820 You can put Flintstone Band-Aids on them.

00:05:13.040 You can do whatever you want.

00:05:13.880 But when they're in the environment, let the men take care of it.

00:05:17.600 Okay?

00:05:18.320 All right.

00:05:19.260 Number two, there has to be an element of challenge.

00:05:22.720 Okay?

00:05:22.980 If there's no challenge involved in the situation,

00:05:27.260 then there's nothing that's going to be hard, difficult, challenging.

00:05:31.940 There's no adversary.

00:05:34.140 There's no adversity.

00:05:35.780 And they're not going to have to push as hard as they might need to.

00:05:40.860 They're going to be able to coast and take it easy.

00:05:43.140 And that's typically life.

00:05:45.140 That's not a rite of passage.

00:05:47.100 That's just life.

00:05:47.980 Life is easy.

00:05:49.400 Academia is easy.

00:05:51.360 The government would have it easy for you.

00:05:54.200 Most of what our kids deal with is they didn't get the latest edition

00:05:59.180 of their PlayStation game downloaded in time.

00:06:03.360 That stuff's easy.

00:06:04.960 There needs to be challenge involved.

00:06:07.060 And when we think about how this used to happen hundreds,

00:06:10.240 if not thousands of years ago, the boys would be separated.

00:06:13.640 From their moms, from the tribe, they would be put under a challenge.

00:06:18.920 There would be risk involved. 0.90

00:06:20.200 They'd go out and they'd have to kill the saber-toothed tiger

00:06:24.460 or steal the egg from the bald eagle nest, the pterodactyl nest,

00:06:29.100 and come back, show they did it.

00:06:31.460 And then the men would mark them.

00:06:33.160 They'd tattoo them. 0.97

00:06:34.240 They'd circumcise them.

00:06:35.520 They'd brand them in some way.

00:06:37.540 They'd have a ceremony.

00:06:39.200 And then they would bring them back to the village.

00:06:40.920 And now they're men.

00:06:42.600 It's the same principle.

00:06:44.360 Now, some of those things have changed, but it's the exact same principle.

00:06:47.360 So there has to be an element of challenge built into your rite of passage.

00:06:51.920 There also, point number three, has to be an element of risk.

00:06:55.060 If there's no risk involved, there's no reward.

00:06:58.180 There's no reason to rise up to the challenge.

00:07:01.680 And I'm not saying you have to put them in situations where they may physically injure

00:07:05.160 themselves or they may get themselves killed.

00:07:08.160 You know, if I were to say, hey, kids, I want you to run across the I-15 at the busiest time

00:07:14.800 of the day and see if you can make it, that has nothing to do with the rite of passage.

00:07:21.220 Sure, we could say it's risky, but it doesn't really speak to point number four.

00:07:27.100 And that has to have purpose.

00:07:29.200 It has to have significance.

00:07:31.200 It has to have meaning behind it.

00:07:33.300 So there has to be an element of risk.

00:07:35.700 And then there has to be point number four is there has to be some purpose behind it.

00:07:40.980 Okay, so what is the purpose?

00:07:42.380 Well, the purpose changes based on their age.

00:07:46.020 And there isn't one rite of passage that you as a man should do.

00:07:49.820 There's multiple, maybe even infinite rites of passage.

00:07:54.860 I typically just as a way of looking at it, look at 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

00:08:01.900 Easy for me to remember.

00:08:03.720 And those are all really pivotal moments for boys anyways.

00:08:06.700 When they get to be eight, they're turning from a young boy into a young man.

00:08:12.380 When they get to 10, you know, now they're starting to be on the upper echelons of elementary school, maybe even moving in to middle school.

00:08:21.100 At 12 years old, maybe a little sooner, they're starting to go through puberty and hormones are changing.

00:08:27.960 At 14, they're already into puberty and they're moving from these little snot-nosed kids into men.

00:08:36.180 And you can see it by the way that they develop.

00:08:38.340 They start to sprout.

00:08:39.800 They lose their baby fat.

00:08:41.240 They start building muscle.

00:08:42.800 They start bucking the system at home a little bit.

00:08:46.100 At 16, they start driving a lot more independence.

00:08:50.180 They're going to challenge you as men.

00:08:52.120 They're not going to be pushed around by their mother.

00:08:54.420 And then at 18, eventually, the idea culturally is that they're out on their own and they're not subject to your rules and the way you do things anymore.

00:09:05.100 And if you do this right, this is how it will work.

00:09:07.680 So those are pivotal moments in their lives.

00:09:10.000 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

00:09:12.980 And I would highly suggest that you follow that.

00:09:14.780 But it has to have an element of risk.

00:09:16.460 And based on, again, point number four, depending on where they are, you might have different conversations.

00:09:24.080 At eight years old, you might talk about them learning to have some responsibility now around the house and around the community.

00:09:32.960 Before they're eight, they don't have responsibility.

00:09:35.720 I mean, maybe they have to clean up their room.

00:09:38.300 They have to go to bed on time.

00:09:40.260 Maybe you have them do some basic chores around the house.

00:09:43.380 But really, they don't have any responsibility.

00:09:46.200 But at eight years old, you know, they can start doing more things around the house.

00:09:50.240 They can start spending time with you as a man.

00:09:53.400 They can learn how to change the tire on your truck or change the oil.

00:09:57.280 They can help mow the lawn.

00:09:59.020 They can pull weeds.

00:09:59.940 They can weed whack.

00:10:00.940 They can do all of these things if you involve them in that process.

00:10:05.100 At 10 or 12, you know, you might start talking about the birds and the bees.

00:10:10.260 Where do babies come from? 1.00

00:10:11.680 How are babies made?

00:10:13.380 What is the function of men and women's genitalia? 1.00

00:10:16.880 You might be able to have that conversation.

00:10:19.420 At 14 or maybe even earlier, you better start talking to them about not being alone with the young ladies because now their hormones are coursing through their veins. 0.99

00:10:29.580 At 16, you can talk to them about getting a job, having responsibility, having their own finances, getting them a bank account.

00:10:37.880 At 18, you might talk about them being out on their own.

00:10:40.680 What does it mean to be responsible for rent and a car payment and insurance?

00:10:45.220 But based on where they are in life, it needs to have meaning.

00:10:49.840 So if I tell my kids, hey, run across the I-15 at 530 in the afternoon, yeah, that's a risk.

00:10:56.820 But it doesn't really line up with their growth as men.

00:10:59.620 So it has to have meaning to it.

00:11:02.620 Number five, there has to be some sort of honoring.

00:11:07.200 So if it's not hard, it's not worth honoring.

00:11:11.000 This is the participation trophy conundrum where if you just show up, we give you a trophy.

00:11:19.300 What do you have a trophy for?

00:11:21.160 What did you do for showing up?

00:11:23.060 You did nothing.

00:11:24.540 You literally did nothing.

00:11:27.100 You got to practice 90% of the time on time.

00:11:30.180 Congratulations.

00:11:31.020 Mommy or daddy got you to practice on time, but you didn't do anything that you deserve credit or acknowledgement for.

00:11:38.080 So when a young man goes through the separation from what's comfortable, namely the women, he goes through challenge.

00:11:48.300 He has risk.

00:11:49.360 There's meaning involved.

00:11:50.720 Now, once he's completed that, you have to honor him.

00:11:54.860 And that could be a certificate.

00:11:57.200 That could be a trophy.

00:11:59.480 That could be a memento.

00:12:03.100 I remember as my boys turn eight, you go on a camping trip and then they get a little lion figurine.

00:12:08.980 They actually get two lion figurines, a lion cub and a fully grown adult lion.

00:12:15.260 And it's a signifier for the growth that they've had from cub to lion or the growth that they're trying to accomplish.

00:12:22.280 There's things, little mementos, little memories, little treasures, little awards that they receive.

00:12:29.240 Also, another thing, when my kids turn eight, when they, my boys, when they go through that rite of passage, they get their first knife and they get their first firearms.

00:12:39.940 And then we start driving.

00:12:41.960 There's a whole curriculum I have for this.

00:12:45.300 And maybe I'll share more of that later.

00:12:47.100 But the point is that there has to be some sort of honoring their achievement because they've actually achieved.

00:12:53.060 Not because they showed up, but because they actually achieved.

00:12:55.300 All right, number six, celebration.

00:12:59.660 Now, this is where you start to maybe involve the women again. 1.00

00:13:03.720 This is where you start to involve people of the community, other men, neighborhood, family members, etc.

00:13:11.020 Where you might acknowledge them publicly.

00:13:14.500 It's not enough to give them a little memento and say, here's your first pocket knife.

00:13:18.880 You now have to acknowledge them publicly in front of everybody else.

00:13:23.680 So, maybe that's a family dinner and you just want to say, hey, I just want to say something real quick.

00:13:29.500 If I could have everybody's attention.

00:13:31.000 Little Timmy, he's eight years old.

00:13:33.220 He just completed phase one of his rites of passage.

00:13:37.620 And these are the things that he did.

00:13:39.480 This is what he accomplished.

00:13:40.880 This is how hard he worked.

00:13:42.220 This is what, how he feels about himself.

00:13:45.200 And this is what he was awarded as a memory and a memento for what he did.

00:13:49.540 And I want to acknowledge that little Timmy is no longer little Timmy.

00:13:53.800 His name is now Tim.

00:13:57.480 That's what we need to do.

00:13:58.980 He's not Timmy anymore.

00:14:00.700 He's Tim.

00:14:01.780 And if you look at what cultures have done throughout human history is that when the boy goes out and he steals the pterodactyl egg and he comes back and brings it to the tribe, he's no longer a boy.

00:14:13.960 He's now a man.

00:14:15.040 And he has a seat at the man's table.

00:14:17.460 So little Timmy no longer sits with all of the cousins who are two, three, four, five years old.

00:14:23.140 He gets a different table.

00:14:25.420 See, we have to acknowledge this and we have to celebrate it publicly because we need to show everybody else as an example of what could be.

00:14:33.520 And we have to acknowledge little Tim, not Timmy, little Tim for what he's been able to accomplish and what he should be proud of.

00:14:41.800 Number seven, there needs to be some sort of a marking.

00:14:44.940 Okay, now I'm not saying that you have to circumcise your kid if you haven't circumcised yet.

00:14:51.380 I'm not saying that he needs to get a tattoo at eight or 10 or 12 years old.

00:14:55.720 I'm not saying you need to brand him like they would do on Yellowstone.

00:14:59.100 I'm not saying that.

00:15:00.820 Okay, but there needs to be a marking.

00:15:02.320 And that goes back to the little memento, the treasure, the item that little Tim has now at this point to help him remember, oh, yeah, that's who I am.

00:15:15.000 And that has meaning and significance to me.

00:15:17.140 And you better hold on to that forever because it does have meaning and significance.

00:15:20.600 But there needs to be some sort of marking.

00:15:26.440 Another way to quote unquote mark one of your children is to create, and this is going to roll into my next point, number eight, a slogan or a mantra or a token or a password or something along those lines where nobody else knows.

00:15:46.140 No one else knows.

00:15:48.540 So as Micklers, we have our motto.

00:15:52.920 No one else knows what it is.

00:15:55.120 Not the women, not their sister, not their mom, not their aunties, not their grandmas, no one.

00:16:02.480 Me and the boys know what the motto is.

00:16:05.760 That's it.

00:16:07.360 It's not to keep secrets.

00:16:09.360 It's not to exclude anybody.

00:16:11.640 It's just to let them know that you are now part of an exclusive club of Mickler men.

00:16:19.460 Not everybody gets an invite.

00:16:21.300 Not everybody is welcome to come.

00:16:23.160 And if we give them that password, then we know they've passed what they need to pass to prove to us that they're worthy of being in our circle.

00:16:29.980 This is exclusivity.

00:16:31.540 And this is the marking that I think all men should incorporate with their boys where no one else knows.

00:16:38.000 This is not sensitive information.

00:16:39.800 Some people are going to take this out of context and say this leaves the door open for perversion or secrets.

00:16:48.460 That's not at all what I'm saying.

00:16:50.400 And I think all of you are capable of discerning that.

00:16:53.660 I'm saying have some exclusivity with your boys.

00:16:56.560 And then number nine, we talked a little bit about this in the ceremony process or the celebration process, is that you reintroduce them as a man.

00:17:05.420 They're new now.

00:17:06.880 There's a great movie, The Three Ninjas, I think is what it's called.

00:17:11.060 I love this kid.

00:17:12.080 I loved the show as a kid when I was growing up.

00:17:15.980 And my kids love this movie.

00:17:18.400 And the whole premise is that these three boys had a single mother.

00:17:24.980 Oh, I guess she wasn't a single mother, but their dad was largely absent because of some work.

00:17:30.400 I think he was in the FBI.

00:17:31.680 And so they spent the summers with their grandfather.

00:17:34.080 And their grandfather was a martial arts expert, and he taught them the way of martial arts.

00:17:38.940 And one summer, the boys went to stay with their grandpa, and he gave them all new names.

00:17:47.400 And that's how they knew that they went through what they needed to go through.

00:17:52.460 They got their new names, and they were very proud of their new names.

00:17:56.400 It meant something.

00:17:57.360 It had significance and meaning.

00:17:58.880 And then they reintroduced them to their mom, brought them back into the village, and then allowed them to take their training, their expertise, their knowledge, their know-how, their new wisdom,

00:18:07.640 and implement it in school, implement it with their family, implement it with themselves to keep themselves safe.

00:18:15.340 Three Ninjas is a really good movie for, I would say, boys under the age of maybe 12-ish or so.

00:18:25.160 Anything older than that might not find as much interest, but that's a good movie for 12 to maybe 6, 7, 8 years old.

00:18:32.340 Go check it out. Three Ninjas is my recommendation for the day.

00:18:35.320 But at some point, you need to reintroduce them.

00:18:37.060 But you reintroduce them differently, okay?

00:18:39.840 Little Timmy is not coming back as Little Timmy.

00:18:42.780 And we don't want people to start treating Little Timmy as they were before.

00:18:46.600 Now, mom has to treat him differently.

00:18:50.000 Now, he has to carry himself differently.

00:18:52.560 Now, you're going to hold him more responsible because he has greater responsibility.

00:18:58.620 That's the whole point of this.

00:19:00.240 It's the maturing of young men.

00:19:03.900 It's the growing up of young men.

00:19:05.580 It's them developing and building and getting better and getting smarter and wiser and able to impact their lives and the lives of the people they care about even greater.

00:19:15.300 That's what needs to be included in a rite of passage.

00:19:19.680 There should be no question about those nine things.

00:19:22.740 I'll recap them here in a minute so you can write them down and I suggest that you do.

00:19:26.440 And then I want you to be creative.

00:19:28.180 It could be a camp out.

00:19:30.040 It could be a hike.

00:19:32.000 It could be a long trip.

00:19:33.660 It could be even a staycation.

00:19:35.340 It could be something with other men involved, other men and their boys involved.

00:19:42.480 But you got to get outside.

00:19:43.840 You got to implement these things.

00:19:45.380 You got to create the danger and the risk within reason and help these boys turn into men.

00:19:51.420 Society is not going to do it.

00:19:53.660 Most schools, they're not even getting failing grades anymore.

00:19:59.280 Society is not going to do it.

00:20:00.500 The institutions that were rite of passages before, like the military, like sports, like Boy Scouts, those are going away.

00:20:09.740 This is not going to happen just because it is.

00:20:13.860 You actually have to be deliberate and intentional about it.

00:20:16.960 And I think you can and I think you should.

00:20:18.440 And I'm doing this in my boys' life.

00:20:20.460 So let's talk about this.

00:20:23.000 Initiating boys into manhood. 0.82

00:20:24.420 So point number one is separation, again, from the women. 0.99

00:20:28.000 No women involved. 0.99

00:20:28.780 Number two, challenge.

00:20:31.020 It has to be challenging.

00:20:32.820 It has to be hard.

00:20:34.020 It can't be easy.

00:20:35.500 It has to be hard based on their current skill level.

00:20:37.700 Number three, there has to be risk involved.

00:20:39.400 Not risk that they'll die, but risk that they might not complete it.

00:20:44.780 Literally, they may not be able to complete it.

00:20:47.000 And if they don't, then you have to do it in 30 days or 60 or 90 days again.

00:20:50.540 Number four, there has to be meaning and significance again.

00:20:52.800 You're not going to just put them in harm's way just for the sake of putting them in harm's way.

00:20:56.960 It has to have meaning and purpose behind it.

00:20:58.780 Number five, you're going to honor them.

00:21:01.540 You're going to acknowledge their achievements.

00:21:04.640 Number six, you're going to celebrate with everybody.

00:21:07.580 It's a celebration.

00:21:08.620 It's a ceremony.

00:21:10.520 Bar mitzvah is one that we often see.

00:21:14.000 You know, and that's a great example of what a rite of passage might be.

00:21:16.820 Number seven, there has to be a marking.

00:21:18.700 I'm not talking about a tattoo or circumcision or branding, but maybe it's a memento.

00:21:23.500 Maybe they earned a knife or a gun or the motto that we talked about.

00:21:30.180 It has to be exclusive, and that's the motto, right?

00:21:32.220 It's only for Mickler men. 0.93

00:21:34.140 It's only for Wilson boys.

00:21:35.900 It's only for Thompson guys.

00:21:38.860 You get it.

00:21:39.600 And then number nine is only when they've completed it do we reintroduce them.

00:21:44.940 Maybe that's a new name.

00:21:46.180 Timothy now becomes Tim.

00:21:48.880 Joe becomes, maybe you have a nickname.

00:21:52.520 Maybe he's earned a nickname.

00:21:54.520 And that's what the family recognizes and acknowledges him as.

00:21:57.860 I promise you, this stuff sounds cheesy, but I'm telling you, it's not cheesy.

00:22:02.960 And it means something to boys.

00:22:04.340 It means something to men.

00:22:06.120 And that's what we want it to be.

00:22:07.800 And that's how we raise our boys.

00:22:09.040 So this is not a one-time thing.

00:22:11.200 This is a, again, at a minimum, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, before they become capable of going

00:22:20.180 out on their own, but they've learned everything they need to learn as men.

00:22:23.500 If you guys have any other questions, I've got some curriculums and some ideas.

00:22:27.000 In fact, I'm putting together a course on the programs that need to be initiated at

00:22:32.120 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.

00:22:34.800 And I'll give you some details on that.

00:22:37.300 It's going to be at orderofman.com slash initiation, orderofman.com slash initiation.

00:22:43.100 I'll get you those details so you can have that.

00:22:45.480 For now, get signed up to our newsletter at orderofman.com.

00:22:48.380 Follow me at Ryan Mickler on Instagram for more information.

00:22:52.560 And let's keep getting after it.
