You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart
00:00:04.980
your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.
00:00:10.460
You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who
00:00:17.220
you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.780
you can call yourself a man. Kip, what's going on, man? Glad to be joining you for another
00:00:27.360
Ask Me Anything. Yeah. You ready to do this? Facebook. Yeah, we're live on Facebook. As
00:00:34.160
far as I know. As far as I know. Well, I was going to start sharing a story with you, but
00:00:38.440
you said, no, let's share this where everybody can hear it. Yeah, it had quality, just good
00:00:44.440
entertainment. Yeah, I may or may not have been training jiu-jitsu last night. And I was
00:00:54.200
rolling with, well, I won't say who it is just in case they feel bad about this, but
00:00:59.460
I was rolling with a training partner. And, you know, I was doing pretty good. I felt
00:01:05.020
pretty good. I caught him in a submission. I say caught because I really just did catch
00:01:08.580
it. Like it wasn't like, it was legit, but it was, I just caught him. You know what I'm
00:01:13.520
saying? Yeah. Yeah. You never know if it's a little bit of luck or. Right. Right. I'm not
00:01:18.000
taking credit for it as much. It was the, it was the, the move that you taught me with
00:01:22.920
the lapel over the neck, grab from underneath. And I couldn't quite tighten it down, but I
00:01:28.860
swung my leg up over cause I was going to start, it wasn't working. So I swung my leg
00:01:32.740
over and thought, well, maybe I can get an arm bar in here. And as soon as I put my leg
00:01:36.440
over it, like tightened everything up and I stayed with it and caught him. Nice. So
00:01:41.880
you ended up with the choke, almost like a hanging. Yeah. As you're putting your hips
00:01:47.100
into him. Okay. Right. It felt really good. Um, and then, and then it was all over from
00:01:53.760
there. So to which like his little, uh, dial switch of, uh, of, uh, of aggression went
00:02:02.760
from, uh, no, I mean, he wasn't being a jerk, but like it was, it was on. So, so I think
00:02:09.680
I, I honestly, I can't really remember, but I think I was either in his guard. I'm
00:02:17.200
pretty sure I was in his guard and he caught me in a bread cutter. And I remember
00:02:24.040
thinking, Oh, this feels pretty tight, but like, I'm okay. And the next thing I
00:02:30.560
know I'm waking up and he's shaking my legs. He's like, Hey Ryan, wake up, wake up. And
00:02:36.320
he's shaking my legs. And I'm like, Holy cow. What happened? He's like, you passed
00:02:41.380
out. And I was like, cause I was dreaming. I was in la la land. Like I woke up and I
00:02:46.620
was like, Oh, I had a nice night's rest. Like I just woke up, had some weird dreams
00:02:50.200
and here I am. How did I get to jujitsu? Yeah. You're on the, uh, you're on the
00:02:55.400
island. The island. Yeah. The island. Is that what it is? Yeah. So, so he's, so I'm
00:03:00.840
like, what happened, man? He's like, I don't know. He's like, you were good. And then all of a
00:03:05.500
a sudden you just went, ah, started gurgling and went limp. And I was waiting
00:03:11.920
for you to tap. Cause I knew I had you, or he said, I was waiting for you to tap. Cause
00:03:15.620
I knew I had you. And all of a sudden you started gurgling and just went limp and
00:03:19.320
then just like flopped on the floor. And that's when I started kind of trying to
00:03:22.600
wake you up. You're only out for like a second, you know? Anyways. Um, so people
00:03:27.940
say, well, why don't you tap earlier? I thought I was good actually. Like I knew it was
00:03:32.520
tight, but I was like this, I'm fine. Anyways, he, he had made an adjustment.
00:03:36.460
Like he did, he got me and I felt good. And then he made an adjustment and just
00:03:39.940
cinched everything down. Yeah. And I was out. So, uh, yeah. So that was in, and then
00:03:45.420
it took me a minute to like come to you. And then Pete's like, Hey man, you want to
00:03:48.440
roll again? Cause I'd rolled with him earlier in the night. And I'm like, yeah, I
00:03:52.000
think so. Let me just, uh, I just need a few seconds here so I can wake back up.
00:03:55.780
So anyways, it was, it was, it may or may not have been good training last night.
00:03:59.800
Yeah. That's a hypothetical. We don't, I can't confirm whether that's a true story
00:04:04.160
or just something I made up. It may be fictional. Yeah. Yeah. That's right.
00:04:07.100
Be a fictional story. That's what the only time I've almost fallen asleep. It was
00:04:12.080
kind of like, uh, like the, the window was closing and I like was kind of floating
00:04:17.620
and, um, it was, it wasn't even during training. It was over like an instruction.
00:04:23.700
So I think I was tired. My, I probably my sugar levels were lower or
00:04:29.480
something. And we were just going over chokes. That's it. Like just going over
00:04:33.240
chokes. And all of a sudden I'm like, honestly, honestly. So yeah, if it were,
00:04:39.060
if it's a good choke, it's a good choke. I don't think it takes much.
00:04:41.700
It was a good show. And then I was thinking about it. The interesting thing
00:04:45.040
about like a choke, you know, cause you have your, you're like your blood
00:04:49.280
chokes. Right. And they don't hurt at all. No, no, I wasn't hurt. Like I wasn't
00:04:53.920
hurting. I just remember thinking, Oh, this is like tight, but like, I'm okay.
00:04:57.080
Like maybe he'll let go. That's, that was my thought. Like maybe he'll let go. Cause
00:05:00.200
it's not working. And then out. Yeah. He's drifted to a dream slowly. Yep. Anyways.
00:05:06.040
So there's your, uh, there's your entertainment for the day, fellas. Uh, I love that. Yeah.
00:05:11.040
It was a good time. It was a good time. We had, we had a lot of fun. Yeah. Hypothetically,
00:05:16.160
hypothetically speaking in a fictional universe, it would have been a blast. It would have been a good,
00:05:20.840
you know, it was a dream. This was all made up. It was a made up story. All right, man,
00:05:24.340
let's get to the questions. We got some questions. We're live on Facebook. Uh, I think these questions
00:05:28.380
come from the, uh, the iron council, by the way, if you guys are interested in our exclusive
00:05:33.540
brotherhood, the iron council, then check it out. Order of man.com slash iron council. We're not
00:05:38.180
creative around here, but you can find us. Yeah. It's like slash something, um, regarding
00:05:43.160
Facebook, I think back. No, it's a forward slash for sure. Positive. We need to put a point out there.
00:05:50.400
This is my realm of expertise. I actually, I have no, I have no desire to know anyone's
00:05:55.220
opinion about. No, I want to know wrong. I want to know is, is the slash that you would use.
00:06:00.920
So it's higher in the top, right? Lower in the bottom left, right? That's what we're talking about.
00:06:06.680
Is that a backslash or a forward slash? No, a forward slash is leaning to the right.
00:06:14.560
That's what I'm asking. Yeah. So I think that's a backslash. It is not. I brought it back. It's
00:06:20.120
leaning back. No. All right. Let's get to this. Let's get to some real stuff here.
00:06:26.000
If you guys want to join us in the future, uh, maybe, maybe, you know, we don't know,
00:06:30.280
but join us on Facebook, facebook.com slash group slash order van. That's where we're going live.
00:06:34.800
I just wanted to bring that up since we said we're live. Right. Yep. Cool, man. All right.
00:06:39.100
First question, Bill tail. If you could learn one skill in the next 48 hours, what it would,
00:06:45.100
what would it be and why? Disclaimer, you have 1000 or less to spend on time and material.
00:06:52.820
48 hours, 48 hours of learning a skill with a thousand bucks. You know, something I've actually
00:06:57.980
been thinking a lot about, cause I'm doing a little bit of work with warrior poet society.
00:07:01.660
A lot of you guys are familiar with them. Yeah. Uh, and we've got some cool announcements
00:07:05.820
coming out very soon. So be on the lookout for that. Anyways, uh, I would really like to know
00:07:11.700
tactical shooting very well. I think that would be a very cool skill. I think it'd be very applicable.
00:07:19.020
Uh, I think it would be enjoyable. I've done a little rifle work, um, primarily because I was
00:07:23.820
in the military, but like pistol work is something that I could see as switching between or whatever
00:07:28.060
that's called. Uh, yeah, but just being able to draw quicker, uh, being able to exchange and,
00:07:35.540
and, uh, magazines, you know, just, just that sort of thing. I think that would be a very cool
00:07:41.020
skill to have, uh, and, and practical, you know, hopefully you would never have to use that, but
00:07:45.780
it would be a good skill to have. And hopefully, like I said, never have to use it, but if you have
00:07:49.800
it and need it, then it's there and present. So I actually think that would be really valuable.
00:07:53.260
In fact, I've talked to them about it and we're going to, we're going to do some stuff there.
00:07:57.100
Um, outside of that, like when I leaned to very applicable skills, like what would I want to know?
00:08:02.880
And what would I want to be a master at anything communication? So if it's presenting,
00:08:07.920
uh, if it's building a network, if it's adding value to other people, like any way that I can
00:08:14.320
build and expand my influence, credibility and network, that's always been really, really valuable
00:08:19.060
for me. So I take a lot of courses and programs and trainings. I study what I see as other good
00:08:24.280
presenters are doing. I emulate what they, what they do personally and try to improve it for myself.
00:08:30.820
I think like, if there's one skill that you could learn, I like just one, it would be the
00:08:36.660
ability to communicate effectively. I just think that is one of the most valuable skills because
00:08:41.740
it's, it impacts everything else, right? It impacts your ability to lead as a father. It impacts your
00:08:48.000
ability to sell. It impacts your ability to ask for a promotion or, uh, or ask for a date or ask for
00:08:54.620
hand in marriage. Every facet of life can be improved through your ability to communicate
00:09:02.080
and express ideas effectively. So that's another skillset that I think is something every man should
00:09:07.220
consider. Cool. There you go, Bill. Primate ball. What thought process do you use to decide as to
00:09:14.060
whether one should reinvent the wheel versus using an already proven strategy when making key life
00:09:19.940
decisions? I personally like to do things myself, even if it leads to some dead ends and helps me
00:09:25.400
feel independent in a way. Yeah. I don't really think there's anything wrong with experimenting
00:09:31.340
and, and reinventing the wheel to a degree to see what works, to have some creative muscles and juices
00:09:38.860
flowing. I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. Now, when it comes to the actual
00:09:42.500
situation, especially if you're crunched for time or resources, money, then maybe you ought to
00:09:48.340
do what's worked and ensure that you create some sort of success. Uh, there's a, there's a principle
00:09:55.040
it's actually first principles is, is the idea. Uh, and, and I had a former rocket scientist on the
00:10:03.460
podcast about four weeks ago, his name is Ozan Virol and he worked for NASA. He worked on the Mars
00:10:10.300
rover missions and he was talking a lot on that podcast about Elon Musk. And he talks about in his book,
00:10:15.580
think like a rocket scientist. And he calls these first principles and first principles are when you
00:10:21.800
strip everything else away. Like these are the principles of rocket propulsion, for example.
00:10:27.500
But when Elon Musk started looking at how to, uh, uh, send, send a mission to Mars, you know, he looked,
00:10:36.560
he looked at the first principles, the things that, that are principles that you have to use,
00:10:41.280
but there's other things like reusable rocket boosters, for example, that wasn't a first
00:10:46.440
principle. He just looked at it from a different angle. Rocket propulsion is rocket propulsion, but
00:10:51.320
can we reuse this? He started using different material that was less expensive, that was lighter
00:10:57.720
and more durable. And this, this, if I remember correctly, was entirely unheard of in, in, in the,
00:11:06.040
the space exploration space, but he looked at it from that perspective. So he relied on first
00:11:12.100
principles, foundational principles, and then started messing with the other variables that
00:11:17.400
weren't first principles and then created this entirely new thing. They talk a lot about it too,
00:11:22.420
in the, in the book, um, blue ocean strategy. And they talk about taking ideas from one market sector
00:11:29.860
and then adding another market sector. The one that really stands out for me is Cirque du Soleil
00:11:35.200
and their shows. They took elements of the circus and then they implemented it and combined it with
00:11:42.520
elements of theater. And they created this entirely new blue ocean, an uncontested market space because
00:11:49.500
they took ideas from different places. And this is actually the advantage that men have
00:11:55.220
when they come into a space or a sector that they're not entirely familiar with. Like, for example,
00:12:03.120
if I came into the IT, the networking, the computer, the consulting business, like you're doing Kip,
00:12:09.180
not that I would be an expert of course, because you you're the expert, but I would potentially bring
00:12:14.080
something to the table that none of you guys have ever even remotely considered before. Cause it isn't
00:12:19.640
in your purview. It isn't in your wheelhouse and same thing with other people coming into my space.
00:12:24.560
So we ought to be very aware that just because they're made, they may not be an expert
00:12:28.240
doesn't mean they don't have some, some interesting ideas. I think about this in the context of fighters,
00:12:34.860
like MMA fighters, for example, you see certain guys come in who are very unorthodox, like Conor
00:12:41.200
McGregor, really unorthodox, right? You think about Tony Ferguson, although he, did you see that match
00:12:46.780
by the way, with Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje? Oh my goodness. Tough fight, man. That was a clinic by
00:12:52.200
Gaethje. That was amazing. Anyways, but Tony Ferguson props to him. You know, I I've never
00:12:57.900
seen somebody take abuse like that. That was crazy. Yeah. He, he might be hurt at the, at the last
00:13:04.540
round where he was like, his brain wasn't firing right. Like he was shaking it off and like, he
00:13:08.840
wasn't, he was not there anyways. But you take a guy like Tony Ferguson, the reason he's been so hard
00:13:14.420
to deal with is because he's unorthodoxed. Yeah. Like you don't know what he's going to do. He does
00:13:18.400
weird things. He moves weird. He's like, and so when you see it for the first time, you think it's
00:13:23.460
very strange, but also he's a very good, like he knows how to fight too. It's not like just some
00:13:30.560
random wild man who just goes in there and swinging all over the place. Yeah. Exactly. He's got a
00:13:36.620
strategy. He's obviously conditioned very well. He's, he's, if I understand correctly, correct me
00:13:42.100
if I'm wrong, maybe, you know, but he's probably a black belt in jujitsu. Uh, he knows how to strike.
00:13:47.920
He knows how to throw a punch. He obviously knows how to take a punch. Like he knows these things,
00:13:52.040
first principles. And then once he has the first principles down, he's able to develop his game
00:13:57.640
above and beyond that because he has those basics mastered. And then it can take other elements and
00:14:02.520
create an entirely new thing and push the sport forward in a place that, you know, other people
00:14:07.460
just aren't able to do. Uh, Muhammad Ali, very much the same way that showboat, that showman mentality,
00:14:13.640
getting in people's heads, right? That wasn't present before him really. So is he, is he a good
00:14:20.360
boxer? Hell yeah. He's a good boxer. And then he brought a new element into it to make something
00:14:26.080
better than we've ever seen before. So I don't think it's about reinventing the wheel. It's about
00:14:30.820
taking first principles, getting so good at the fundamentals. Like, uh, my friend, Sean Whalen was
00:14:36.340
talking about this the other day. He had posted a video and he said he went to a baseball game. And if
00:14:40.700
you watch these major league baseball players, they are doing the same thing that my three and
00:14:48.500
four-year-olds are doing off of a tee. They're hitting off a tee. They're taking soft toss.
00:14:53.140
They got the fungo bat out and they're taking drills and grounders. They're doing the same
00:14:57.560
thing because they've got so good at the basics and getting good at the basics is what allows you
00:15:04.060
to be creative with other avenues. But if you're not good at the basics, you can't really be creative
00:15:08.860
in a meaningful way. Anyways, I'm beating a dead horse here, but I think you get it.
00:15:12.820
Well, and I think something that crossed my mind while you're sharing, Ryan, is,
00:15:16.720
is we make a lot of assumptions sometimes, right? Like we, I think it's valuable to look at a scenario
00:15:22.720
and just look at anything that's assumed and question it. You're like, okay, well, you know,
00:15:28.260
if you use, you know, uh, Elon Musk as an example, it's like, it was an assumption that,
00:15:32.420
hey, guess what? We, we waste the rocket. Well, why? Like, don't go with that assumption.
00:15:38.280
Like question the assumption. Why do we have to do that? Right. And, and I think in those moments
00:15:42.360
is where we find some creativity and a lot of efficiencies because I, I, from an IT perspective
00:15:49.860
all the time, you know, you look at a business process and we evaluate a flow of efficiency in
00:15:54.860
a business. And it's like, well, why do we do that? Right. Let's question it. Well, because when
00:16:00.800
I started the person before me used to do, you know, copies of that file and they put it in this
00:16:06.300
file. Okay. Well, let's not just assume that that's still valuable. So let's now deep dive into
00:16:11.960
it. And now we find out that like, there's this high inefficiency in a business process because why
00:16:16.480
that's why I was trained 10 years ago. And I've done that this whole time. And no one's even been
00:16:20.920
looking at that data the entire time. Right. So we just have these assumptions that we just
00:16:25.900
make. And, and to your point on the MMA side is like, I think we see that in jujitsu too,
00:16:31.100
where you, you, you get guys that I want to be careful on seeing this, but they're kind
00:16:36.700
of one, one trick ponies, right? They are amazing in the leg lock game, for instance, but they've
00:16:43.280
honed into that. They've critiqued it. They've made it their specialty. And by doing so, they've
00:16:49.520
been able to rock the system. And then what happens is people adjust to it, right? They
00:16:55.220
figure it out. Okay. Okay. We need to adjust. But those guys, those innovators in that early
00:16:59.940
stage, when they push the envelope and before people have a chance to adjust and, and to
00:17:05.880
that style, they have this, this opening of huge success until people catch up. You know,
00:17:11.740
you can see it with Hoist Gracie in the early days of, of, of the UFC. It's like, no one could
00:17:17.560
stop the guy. Why? Because it, no one knew what the hell he was doing. Like it was so
00:17:21.760
foreign. And now it's like, okay, you want to be an MMA, MMA fighter, whether you do jujitsu
00:17:26.860
or not, you have to be able to defend it. You have to be able to stop it. And then it, and
00:17:31.640
then it increases the, the, the bar of what's required to be an MMA fighter now. Right.
00:17:37.820
And then you'll see guys that adjust to styles of Conor McGregor, Tony Ferguson to adjust
00:17:43.760
then. And then all of a sudden it's like someone else going to come up with some other style that
00:17:47.740
people are going to have to contend with adjust. And then we all improve. Right. Right. This is why
00:17:53.040
innovation is so important. And I fall into this trap quite often. I wish that I didn't, but I think
00:17:58.540
we all do is we begin to rest on our laurels, right? So we do one thing and then we have success
00:18:04.160
at that endeavor and we think, oh, okay, well it got me to this point. So solid. Yeah. I just got to
00:18:09.160
keep doing this or I got to do it harder or I got to do it longer or more. And it will produce the
00:18:14.100
same results. No, it won't because people are adjusting. People are learning. People are evolving.
00:18:21.180
Your competitors are coming up behind you. They're adjusting and you need to constantly be
00:18:27.380
innovating and creating new ways. This is why we're doing, for example, this live. Now that might seem
00:18:32.360
like a small innovate. It doesn't even sound like an innovation. It's just an evolution, right? It's like,
00:18:37.060
oh, should we do this pivot? Yeah. Pivot. Same thing. And maybe not even a pivot. It's just like,
00:18:41.580
oh, here's one more resource that we can make this available. Same thing with YouTube. It's like,
00:18:46.220
we already had the podcast available and guys are like, oh man, how do you do so much?
00:18:50.420
The reason we can do as much as we do right now is because we've learned this side and we'd become
00:18:56.060
very proficient at podcasting, for example, which now gives us a leverage to be able to explore
00:19:01.560
and pursue different avenues that might get us a larger reach that might impact more men.
00:19:07.660
But you don't get to short change the system. The only way you short change it in a way is by
00:19:13.220
hiring mentors and coaches who will walk you through some of the pitfalls that you would
00:19:17.060
otherwise step into. And I have, I brought on coaches and mentors who have said, I don't know,
00:19:22.520
like I tried that and it didn't work. And sometimes my coaches have said, I don't know,
00:19:26.860
like maybe you should just try it and see. And sometimes you just take a rip and you might make
00:19:31.660
contact and you might strike out, but you learn. So continue to evolve, continue to innovate.
00:19:37.720
Don't rest on what's worked in the past. Take the first principles. Hey, here's the foundational
00:19:43.200
principles. I'm going to continue to use those, but I'm going to innovate and evolve to create new
00:19:48.360
Yeah. Love it, man. So I hopped on Facebook, right? So we have a couple, like Colorado,
00:19:55.100
someone from India. That's kind of cool. Wisconsin. Do you see the default stupid thumbnail that's
00:20:09.500
No, what is it? I don't, I guess I can't see it or something here.
00:20:12.160
Okay. It's me making a really stupid face and that's what's the default thumbnail.
00:20:18.320
You smiling like a, like a, we're both smiling. We're both smiling.
00:20:25.800
Oh, well. All right. Bill Sharp. If you go back in time, one of these questions,
00:20:30.860
but it's actually kind of funny. If you could go back in time and give one piece of advice
00:20:34.160
to your 18 year old version of yourself, what would it be? And why jujitsu?
00:20:38.400
Wait, why jujitsu is separate from that question, right?
00:20:45.540
I'm assuming what he's saying is, of course the answer is jujitsu and why, but maybe not. Maybe
00:20:51.380
that, maybe Bill met two different questions there.
00:20:53.340
I don't know. I, yeah. Um, sometimes my wife laughs at me because I take things so, no, no, no, no.
00:21:01.060
I just take things so literally that sometimes she says I miss a lot of jokes because I'm like,
00:21:06.760
I don't get it. And she's like, it's a joke. I'm like, yeah, I don't get it. She's like,
00:21:10.920
because it's a joke. You're trying to like interpret what it means. Like just, just lighten
00:21:15.840
up. So my wife gives me a hard time about that. So maybe he's making a joke. And it, by the way,
00:21:19.840
if I don't get your joke guys, it has nothing to do with your ability to tell jokes and everything
00:21:25.040
with my ability to take things so seriously and literally at any given point that it might just
00:21:29.960
fly completely over my head. So if you're making a joke, good one. If not, let me, let me answer it here.
00:21:36.100
Don't take personal. Yeah. Um, all right. So what would I tell my 18 year old self?
00:21:43.540
Honestly, I would just tell him to take more risks, take more chances, like say yes to a few more
00:21:48.240
things. Uh, don't, don't be like, so driven towards one path, like explore a lot of different
00:21:57.100
things, take a bunch of different opportunities, go on trips, have experiences. If something sounds
00:22:03.060
even remotely interesting, take advantage of it, say yes to it. I mean, when you're young
00:22:08.080
at 18, like that's a perfect time to be exploring. You have low, low responsibility. You don't have a
00:22:14.000
wife. You don't have kids. You really don't have a career. You might have a job that can be on the
00:22:18.420
back burner for a minute. Like just go and explore, find out as much about the world as you possibly can
00:22:25.560
and train jujitsu. Uh, yeah. Why jujitsu? I don't know. People, people ask that all the time. I
00:22:35.620
said, why, why not this? It very easily could have been that. Cause it's superior is why next question.
00:22:42.260
I mean, no, I would say that now because is it may, maybe objectively you could make the case for
00:22:51.700
that, right? Objectively. I think you can make the case for that. A lot of people have, at least
00:22:55.780
let's say that. Yeah. So I think there's a case to be made that objectively it is a superior martial
00:23:01.740
art. Okay. To, to others. That's it. We're getting big. We're biased last year. Yeah. Right. We're
00:23:08.160
biased. Like, so we don't know. We can't objectively answer that question. So why jujitsu? Because that's
00:23:14.320
what my friends did. Yeah. Let's be afraid. Yeah. That's it. It's what got introduced to me. Yeah.
00:23:19.420
That's it. If, if all my friends did Krav or karate or boxing or wrestling or pick, then I probably
00:23:26.320
would have done one of those. And I would have been saying the same, well, you know, in jujitsu,
00:23:30.300
it's not good because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's why boxing is better. You know, whatever.
00:23:34.880
Right. I would have been making the same subjective objective case that everybody else makes about
00:23:40.920
their preferred martial art. I think again, objectively, you could make the case that
00:23:44.580
jujitsu is, is superior in a lot of ways. Um, unless you need to punch somebody. Right. And then you don't
00:23:51.860
or take a punch. Right. And then you don't really know how to do that. So yeah, that's why if we're
00:23:57.260
being truthful, it's because that's what you were doing. That's what Matthew Arrington was doing.
00:24:01.360
That's what Pete Roberts does. Those are the guys I spend time with and admire and
00:24:04.680
respect. And so naturally that's what I do. This is why it's so important to consider who
00:24:09.620
you're spending time with because of all you guys were losers and stoners and you're getting drunk
00:24:14.120
and doing all the things that you wanted to do. And, and you didn't have discipline. And I was
00:24:18.540
hanging out around you. It's very likely that I would actually be doing much of that as well.
00:24:22.960
So you got to be conscious about who you're spending time with.
00:24:25.500
Yeah. Drinking beers, my martial art. Yeah, man. Yeah. Party. Good luck with that.
00:24:32.160
Right. Andrew Alphabet. What do you do if your boss has checked out? How do you step up? Do you say
00:24:39.760
anything? Can you call them out? Hold on a second. Checked out boss. Hold on a second.
00:24:46.580
Oh, what? Come on, man. We could, you could say that guy's name. He even gave you,
00:24:50.820
he even gave you a pronunciation of it. Well, I, I copied and pasted in from.
00:24:55.280
Oh, okay. Here it is. Impagliazo. Impagliazo. Impagliazo. Andrew. There you go. All right.
00:25:03.800
What's the question? Hey, actually, why don't you go ahead and read the question and then I'll,
00:25:07.220
I'll just reply. I'm not falling for it, man. He's asking about a boss that's checked out.
00:25:14.380
Yeah. Boss is checked out. How do I step up? Do I say anything? Do I call them out?
00:25:19.720
I don't think you call them out because that's not going to go well. Right. Yeah. Do we define
00:25:25.960
what's checked out? Like, uh, is that like you have a boss that's just not engaged at work? Like
00:25:31.220
he's just kind of like, doesn't give a crap about anything anymore. Is that kind of what checked out
00:25:35.380
is you think? Uh, yeah, I think so. Maybe somebody who's just going through the motions and his heart
00:25:39.840
isn't in it. His mind isn't in it. You know, maybe he has some distractions. Maybe his wife's going
00:25:43.500
through an issue or, you know, he's dealing with something with his kid. I don't know.
00:25:47.980
You don't know. Well, maybe you do know, but I don't know. You don't know Kip, but maybe Andrew
00:25:51.880
knows. Uh, yeah. I don't think you call them out. Cause like I said, like, how is that? How do you
00:25:58.040
envision that going in your mind? Like that actually sounds like a recipe for disaster. How do you step
00:26:03.740
up? I think you just look for opportunities, right? The opportunities are going to present them
00:26:09.220
themselves and you just do it and, and make the boss look good. Yeah. I'm not saying Brown knows
00:26:14.880
him. I'm not, I'm not saying any of that. I'm just saying don't undermine him. Yeah. Don't
00:26:18.340
undermine him. No, just step up to the plate. If there's an opportunity, if there's something that
00:26:22.600
needs to be addressed, if it may be even talk with a boss and say, Hey boss, you know, like we've got
00:26:26.760
this one initiative and it seems like nobody's really been on it. And, uh, I think it could be really
00:26:31.380
important because X, Y, and Z, and I would like to head this up because of, and then list off the
00:26:36.040
benefits of doing it and why you'd be the best man for the job and then get his, his sign off on it.
00:26:40.920
Can I go do this? That boss actually is probably going to appreciate that, especially if he's
00:26:45.180
checked out. Cause if you came to me and said that, and I was tuned out, I'd be like, yeah,
00:26:49.600
cause I know, right. I would know that that thing needs to be done. And if you came to me and said,
00:26:54.000
Hey, I'm going to do it again, not with the intent to like, you got to be careful. Cause if you're
00:26:58.380
doing it to like showboat or sidestep him and he interprets it that way, then he's going to shut it
00:27:05.320
down. So interpret it as, Hey, I'm trying to help you or excuse me, not deliver it as I'm trying
00:27:10.980
to help you. Uh, as I'm trying to help the team, I want to prop this, this company up or the
00:27:16.740
organization or our specific department up. And I think you'll have a lot of success with that. But
00:27:21.640
you know, here's the other thing. If he's checked out, he might have one foot out the door.
00:27:28.800
And if he has one foot out of the door, like maybe he's entertaining another job offer.
00:27:32.220
If he's got one foot out the door, there's an opportunity right there. And this is a really
00:27:39.300
good opportunity for you to, to potentially step into that position. If you're the guy who has
00:27:45.220
stepped up, who knows, you don't know, maybe he's even talking with the, uh, the owner of the
00:27:51.620
organization, for example, and saying, Hey, you know, like I'm, I'm leaving in, in six weeks or
00:27:57.640
four weeks, you don't know what's happening. And, and maybe he's looking for somebody to replace
00:28:03.800
himself. And all of a sudden, if he recognizes Andrew, you as the guy who's been stepping up and
00:28:08.740
leading and recognizing projects and tasks and things that need to be done. And he sees you doing
00:28:13.100
it and being a team player and lifting the organization up, you're going to be the selection.
00:28:17.840
So I think there's some very serious opportunities here. Now, if you have a guy who's been around for 10
00:28:22.140
years and this is constantly how he is, then this is what I was saying earlier, be a great communicator
00:28:28.360
and also be a great networker because there might be some other opportunities in the wide world that
00:28:34.460
you can take advantage of. And maybe you found yourself in a position that just doesn't have any
00:28:39.680
upward mobility, but I would say, try everything you can first give this boss. Here's another thing
00:28:46.460
I'd say. If this is out of character for him, give him some, a benefit of the doubt.
00:28:54.000
Yeah. This could be a, just a season for him or something's going on.
00:28:57.340
Yeah. So if it's out of character, I'd be like, Hmm, what's really like, what's the root here?
00:29:01.380
You know? And I, I'd give my boss the benefit of the doubt. If this is, if this is the way it is,
00:29:05.280
and it's been this way for the last decade at this point, it's probably more on you than him,
00:29:10.720
because like, what are you expecting to change over a 10 year period if you haven't changed anything?
00:29:14.940
So do what you can look for opportunities elsewhere, become a great networker and position
00:29:21.240
yourself for opportunities that may come up down the road. Cool. David Bennett, I finished reading
00:29:29.620
the way of men and now I'm reading, uh, becoming a barbarian. I would like to hear your thoughts on
00:29:35.060
Donovan's statement. Moral, uh, universalism is a philosophy of, for men who have surrendered.
00:29:42.380
Say, say the quote again, moral universalism. Moral is a philosophy for men who have surrendered.
00:29:52.120
Uh, I assume this is a great question. You know, we have Jack's actually coming to do a, uh,
00:29:58.320
to do a special visit in the iron council. So we should ask him about this, but I assume what Jack
00:30:02.560
is referring to when he talks about moral universalism is talking about, about worrying
00:30:10.340
about the whole, right? Everybody, right. And thinking that the whole is greater than the
00:30:15.680
individual. And I, and I think that's, that's a trap that that's socialism. That that's the root
00:30:22.700
of, of, of socialist ideas, right? That the group is significantly more important than the individual
00:30:29.660
and the group's rights supersede individual rights. And I think that's where we run into issues.
00:30:35.200
Group rights don't supersede individual rights. Individual rights supersede group rights. Now there
00:30:41.000
might be group identity. There might be group philosophy and foundational principles. You take, uh,
00:30:49.060
America, for example, not all, but the overwhelming majority of us believe in freedom, liberty, the
00:30:55.200
pursuit of happiness, right? And, and that's at our foundational level, but we still, even though
00:31:03.000
it's threatened at this point, we still honor the individual's rights. And it's unfortunate that
00:31:09.520
we're allowing the group's rights as a whole to overtake the individual's rights. Like I even think
00:31:16.100
about this when it comes to freedom of speech, for example, which seems like it's threatened at every
00:31:21.600
turn. If we make it so that, or, or, or we try to create systems so that people don't have hurt
00:31:31.740
feelings, then we're putting the group above the individual. And that's a recipe for disaster. So now
00:31:39.240
the group's interests as a whole take priority over what an individual thinks. So if, for example,
00:31:47.320
hate speech, and I talked about this, uh, on the podcast with Dave Rubin yesterday, he's, he actually
00:31:52.720
believes in protected hate speech because if you can't, the, the damp, the, like the dampering of
00:32:00.360
it, like it's not, he, he believes it shouldn't be allowed. Right. He should be, he believes that hate
00:32:06.200
quote unquote hate speech should be protected speech. Because if you can't protect and defend
00:32:12.900
things you don't agree with, then you have no basis to protect and defend things that you do agree
00:32:18.180
with. It either applies broadly or not at all. So I don't, I don't agree with everything that
00:32:26.160
everybody says, right? I've had guests on my podcast. I'm like, yeah, I don't, I don't really
00:32:29.860
agree with that, but I, I want to, I, I respect your right to think that I respect your right to
00:32:37.360
feel that way. And you know, I've had people say things that are insulting to me, but I would never
00:32:44.240
say that that individual can't talk or speak or share his mind because I happen to be offended by
00:32:49.100
what the individual was saying. This is where we get into this universal idea that the group is larger
00:32:55.760
context is more important than any one individual. And it's just not true. And it, and it leads to
00:33:01.920
the quote that he has suggested here. What, what was the last part of that, that quote that he said?
00:33:07.980
Uh, floss surrender men who have surrendered. Yeah. Correct. That's correct. If we're talking
00:33:12.660
about it to the group, to the group, right? Right. To the authority. Right. So yes, the group is more
00:33:20.640
important than me as an individual. Now I, I actually say things like, especially in the iron
00:33:27.160
council mission first, right? So some people might interpret that as well group first. So no one
00:33:33.220
individual is going to mess with a mission. No, I'm actually protecting the individuals of the group.
00:33:37.920
So if somebody, so here's our mission and here's our purpose, right? To bridge the gap between what men
00:33:42.140
know and what they're actually doing, and then give them a framework for growing and accountability.
00:33:47.320
That's what we're doing in the iron council. That's the mission of the iron council and the
00:33:51.820
mission comes first. So if anybody comes in and is counter to that mission, they don't get to just
00:33:57.960
stick around because the individual is important because I also have a responsibility to protect the
00:34:04.140
rights of the other individuals who are on board with that mission and that purpose. So we need to
00:34:10.800
remember that the individual rights always, always come first. And then there's collective thoughts and
00:34:16.680
ideas and principles that we adhere to, but the individual is the most important unit in, in society
00:34:23.920
followed closely by the family. Yeah. And the group is just a collection of those individual rights.
00:34:29.620
Correct. And, and as the individuals change or evolve, which as I would probably say is occurring
00:34:35.900
in the U S we start seeing a shift in the group and in regards to what the group and, and sometimes that's
00:34:43.340
negative, unfortunately. And, but, but that's, what's also so powerful. And, and I don't know why, but when I hear you
00:34:49.620
express this, there's a tendency of, of agency that comes into this and ownership of oneself. There's a tendency of when the
00:34:58.920
group comes first, I'm a, I'm a victim to the group and I'm not owning, or I'm not like thriving forward on my individual
00:35:06.340
self in regards to what's important and ultimately doing what's best. You know what I mean? For myself
00:35:11.020
and for my family, it's, it's, I'm, I'm a, I'm a victim of the overall group or the, you know, universalism.
00:35:18.420
Yeah. I mean, one example I have is people talk about like white privilege. Like that, these are the
00:35:25.540
kind of messages that I get. It's like, Oh, you, you, you're speaking like someone with white privilege.
00:35:30.220
Well, if you mean, am I white? I would agree with that. If you mean that there's situations that have
00:35:36.240
been, that I had been the fortunate recipient and beneficiary of that were largely outside of my
00:35:41.860
control, I would also agree with that. But what would you have me do? Like not take advantage of
00:35:49.840
the opportunities that I'm presented with. Yeah. Or, or somehow make quote unquote amends with somebody
00:35:56.620
that I had nothing to do with their situation. Oh, and by the way, there's also things that I've
00:36:02.560
overcome in my life that other people haven't had to deal with. And I'm not throwing a pity party about
00:36:07.140
that. I'm just saying we all deal with things, some harder than others, some just different than
00:36:12.860
others. So we've all had to overcome things. There's all there's challenge in all of it. But if we begin
00:36:18.680
to believe that the, a group of people has, has made us the subjects or, you know, then, then of
00:36:28.100
course we're going to blame it on them and discard any personal accountability or responsibility we have
00:36:33.260
for our situation. Now, some of those things may have happened. Slavery, for example, I'm not saying
00:36:38.180
that didn't exist. Of course it existed and it's tragic. And it's, and it is a scar in, in our history,
00:36:47.300
but it's there and it no longer exists. Is there racism? Sure. There is. And that's a challenge that
00:36:54.740
some people will have to overcome. We're going to fight to ensure that doesn't, doesn't happen.
00:36:59.380
And I believe we live in the least racist country and society in the history of the world ever,
00:37:06.600
but that doesn't mean we don't have room to go. We do, but there's still opportunity, right?
00:37:11.960
There's still things and, and, and you're not being hindered by the, by the group. So it's,
00:37:17.600
it's, I happen to agree with this quote, as far as I am interpreting it and, and defining it.
00:37:24.800
Yeah. It'll be great to have Don on and yeah, for sure. Purposely bring this up. I liked it.
00:37:30.780
Yeah. All right. John Jenkinson, what is your vision for the iron council in the next three years?
00:37:36.040
Uh, well, again, you know, like I've talked to you guys at length, you know, I really plan in
00:37:41.780
quarterly segments, but the vision for the iron council is I imagine capping it off here in the
00:37:46.740
not too distant future. Uh, I, I, I get, again, the vision hasn't changed. Uh, and I just said it
00:37:53.200
a couple of minutes ago, the vision is to bridge the gap between what men know they should be doing
00:37:58.480
and what they're actually doing. That's the greatest problem men face because most men know what they
00:38:03.380
should be doing. You want to lose weight. You exercise, you move a little bit more. You live
00:38:08.100
a healthier lifestyle, reduce unnecessary stress, get the proper level of sleep. This isn't new
00:38:13.580
information, right? You want to get promoted or start a business, learn how to add more value,
00:38:19.120
learn to listen to your customer or your employer and continue to add value over and over and over
00:38:26.180
again. And you will inevitably produce the results. You want to improve your bank account. Well,
00:38:29.900
you need to learn to make again yourself more valuable. So your time is worth more money or
00:38:35.060
you're leveraging your time by hiring other people to do your work. Right? So you're now a business
00:38:41.040
owner. Uh, and then invest wisely, spend less money on things you don't need. That's how you build
00:38:48.660
wealth. Like these aren't new concepts. So the vision has always been, how do we, how do we take a guy
00:38:55.580
who's not experiencing the results that he wants in his life and help them bridge the gap between
00:39:02.240
what he already knows he should be doing and then giving him the, the, the foundation, the framework,
00:39:09.280
the roadmap, and the added level of accountability and camaraderie with other men to get there to help
00:39:14.800
him go from point A to point B. That vision has never changed. We started the iron council in
00:39:21.260
November of 2015. So almost, you know, coming at four and a half years now, roughly it's never
00:39:28.840
changed. And in three years, barring some unforeseen or unknown event or change of circumstances,
00:39:34.740
it will continue to be the vision bridging the gap between what we know, what we do.
00:39:39.840
So the objectives change right now, right now, for example, we're in the midst of achievement
00:39:45.520
and advancement initiatives in the iron council, right? We're bringing on guests. We're having
00:39:51.220
other people, uh, within the iron council, uh, work in their specialties and working on assignments
00:39:57.560
and video. So there's always new objectives and strategies that we have, but the vision has always
00:40:02.540
stayed the same. And again, barring some unknown circumstances will always be the same. It's going to be
00:40:08.360
the same in three years. I don't know what the objectives are. I don't know what the tactics
00:40:13.280
are going to look like, but I know that that's going to be the vision. All right. Tyson junkers,
00:40:19.080
a good friend of mine has been working at the same company for a while now, but is looking for
00:40:22.940
something new. He's just not sure what he wants to do. What advice would you give someone like that?
00:40:28.440
Who's unsure where to start or what direction to go? It sounds like Tyson's friend is looking for
00:40:33.860
finality. Right. So like, okay, I'm looking for something new and this has to be it. Like this
00:40:41.820
has to be the thing. Yeah. Right. It's, it doesn't work like that. Life does not work linear like that.
00:40:49.800
I mean, it'd be awesome if you could say, okay, well, I meant to do this and I'm going to do this.
00:40:52.980
And I think we get this idea from the silver screen, right? Like we see this, we see this kid
00:40:58.640
who always wants to be a race car driver or a fighter pilot or a baseball player or whatever.
00:41:04.320
Right. And then he goes through some difficult circumstances and he has a mentor coming to his
00:41:08.480
life and he overcomes some personal challenges and some internal struggles. And then two hours later,
00:41:13.460
he has the thing that he wants. And it's like this linear progression.
00:41:17.940
So we buy into the idea that it's supposed to be linear. It's not, it's all over the place.
00:41:25.500
Right. So for me, I, I've done pizza delivery. I've done landscaping. I've done electrical.
00:41:33.740
I served in the military. I did some heating and air stuff. Uh, then I started in a financial
00:41:39.500
planning practice. I worked with three different firms, two of which were, were structured a little
00:41:44.120
bit differently than I started my own. And then I started a podcast for the financial planning
00:41:48.560
practice. And then I stopped doing it for the financial planning practice, uh, practice,
00:41:52.700
and then went to the switch to order of man, which was just a podcast. And then it goes on and on and
00:41:59.620
on. Right. So, and in three years, it could be something completely different. I don't know.
00:42:03.780
So instead of looking for the finality of something, just start exploring something.
00:42:10.420
So if something sounds even remotely interesting, then I would say, take a step in whatever direction
00:42:17.240
that is. That's all you owe yourself. You don't owe yourself to go down that path. You don't owe
00:42:23.020
yourself the finality of whatever that may be. All that you owe to yourself is, hmm, that thing kind
00:42:29.180
of sounds interesting. What would it look like if I just took one step towards that thing? And that
00:42:36.040
first step might just be purchase a course on whatever that subject is, or go to a class or have a
00:42:45.120
conversation with somebody, you know, is in that business or that industry. It's just life is a
00:42:50.440
series of just steps. That's all it is. It's not leaps at steps. So what Tyson, I would tell your
00:42:55.360
friend is I would ask him what sounds interesting. And I would have, I would encourage him to do this
00:43:01.500
exercise, write down as many things as possible, like a hundred things, like give them like hunt.
00:43:07.480
You got to write down a hundred things that sound interesting to you. And the reason I tell you to do a
00:43:10.980
hundred is because if I, if I told you to do three, you would start disqualifying things.
00:43:18.880
Naturally, you'd be like, well, I'd like to, you know, I'd like to trade baseball cards or whatever,
00:43:23.880
whatever your thing is. You're like, yeah, but you know this, and you'd come up with all these
00:43:27.180
reasons why you shouldn't do that. But if I tell you to come up with a list of a hundred,
00:43:32.280
you're going to start qualifying things because probably you can't think of a hundred right offhand.
00:43:37.500
You might be able to think of five, but not a hundred. Now you're going to be like really
00:43:42.060
scrambling. Okay, well I can do this and maybe this and this. So you're qualifying instead of
00:43:46.480
disqualifying. We'll get to the disqualifying later, but just start writing those things down.
00:43:51.240
And then what you're going to notice is you're probably going to notice some trends within those
00:43:54.480
list of a hundred things. And if there's some trends, some similar ideas, concepts, trades,
00:44:01.140
industry sectors, that's where you start narrowing it down and thinking, okay, well maybe,
00:44:05.620
maybe I'm onto something right here. Maybe being with people really, really appeals to me or,
00:44:12.420
or being artistic or creative really appeals to me. And then you start taking the one little step
00:44:20.840
followed by another one. And you might realize, I like this. I'm going to keep going down this,
00:44:24.880
this rabbit hole. Or you might say, eh, not really interested. And then you just back up and you take
00:44:30.460
another step in another direction. This is how it works. Not like a two hour movie where everything
00:44:34.900
just works out perfectly the way it's supposed to. If you don't mind me clarifying more of a
00:44:39.900
question, Ryan, is you go through this process and you find something. I'm assuming you would
00:44:46.860
suggest that that's not even the final. That's temporary. That's an experience for a period of
00:44:52.800
time. And then that may even pivot, right? It's really interesting how we, I'm not, I can't remember
00:44:59.780
the term that you use, but we finalize everything. We even finalize people like, you know, you and I
00:45:05.340
could have an argument today about a particular subject and I could take your stance and then go,
00:45:10.040
okay, that's Ryan period. Like that there's no growth that that's not going to maybe evolve or
00:45:16.740
change for you tomorrow. Right? Like we do it to almost everything to ourselves. We think that we're,
00:45:21.380
this is the thing or when a person acts a certain way that that they're finalized in that way of
00:45:27.600
being versus just experience and evolution and pivoting and just, it's, it's just like an ongoing
00:45:33.740
experience of change. Yeah. Because what do we say when a person changes their thought process or job
00:45:41.540
or what we call, we call them flaky. We say it's their, their wishy-washy or their, they, they,
00:45:48.760
they flip-flop and maybe, you know, maybe, but maybe they're just evolving. If I don't say
00:45:56.100
different things, you should. Yeah. Right. If I don't, people will say, Ryan, you've changed. Yes,
00:46:00.760
I have changed. Thank you for noticing. And if in five years, my message hasn't evolved,
00:46:08.700
I would question, I like question myself, but I would question somebody I follow.
00:46:15.000
Like if they haven't evolved, evolved in their level of thinking and be like,
00:46:18.180
like this guy's just kind of resting on his laurel. He's not really growing. He's not expanding.
00:46:21.700
He's not getting better, improving himself. There's people that I follow that I think, man,
00:46:26.020
you know, five, this guy's unrecognizable from what he was five years ago. And that's,
00:46:30.420
I actually admire that. I respect that. Not, I don't call him wishy-washy. Yeah. I say,
00:46:35.200
this is a guy who's evolved and grown, you know, and, and look at this, you know,
00:46:38.560
behind me, for example, like, you know, I've got this, this Sorenex kettlebell and I've got some
00:46:43.400
woodworking tools there. I've got a baseball glove. I've got like some things where I've spoken.
00:46:48.000
I've got Spartan races. I've got one of the animals that I hunted. Like I've got a lot of
00:46:53.040
different things here and, and I don't have it there. It's actually downstairs, but there's my
00:46:57.060
guitar stand. Like I have a lot of different things behind me and all of these things are things that
00:47:03.260
I've tried and enjoyed to some degree, some more than others, right? Some were just like Spartan
00:47:10.580
race. I haven't done a Spartan race for two years, maybe even three. And, and will I do another one?
00:47:16.140
Maybe, but like that was a time for me, right? Now it's different. Now I'm doing more strength
00:47:20.800
training and jujitsu. And that's a thing for me. And will I be doing that in three years?
00:47:25.160
As far as I know, but maybe something else comes along and that I'm interested in. And I,
00:47:30.160
and I will explore that. I owe it to myself to explore it. People ask, Ryan, how'd you get into
00:47:34.920
hunting? I had a buddy who said, Hey man, I've got property down here. One of my friends wants us to
00:47:39.500
help take a couple of deer that shouldn't be on his property. And that's it, right? One of the deer
00:47:45.180
right there. And do you want to come down and hunt? And I said, I don't, I've never been hunting.
00:47:49.760
He's like, I know that's why I want you to go. Yeah. That's a very insightful thought on his part.
00:47:56.000
Like, Oh, okay. Well, I don't know what, like, I don't know what boat to get in this. And he's
00:48:00.280
like, you just, here's what you need. And I just said, yes. Right. And it's taken me down a path
00:48:04.880
that I've really enjoyed. So just take a step, short answer. Just take a step. If it sounds
00:48:13.080
interesting, take a step. That's it. Yeah. I like it. John Gilliland, when thinking of
00:48:19.560
successful men, Andy Frizzella, Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander the Great, and you, Ryan, how do these
00:48:25.820
types of men lead? That's a good list to be with. How do these types of men lead themselves? We men
00:48:32.880
need organizations such as the IC to provide a success structure. Hashtag slain dragons, hashtag
00:48:39.080
gamma. Did he say, what was the last part of it? Do we need a structure? Is that what he said?
00:48:44.860
Well, it's kind of a statement, right? How do these type of men lead themselves? And then
00:48:49.520
the statement really was, we men need organizations such as the IC to provide a success
00:48:53.860
structure. Maybe really, like, did Andy and Teddy and Alexander the Great have a structure
00:48:59.900
like we do in the Iron Council? And if they didn't, like, how do they lead themselves when
00:49:05.380
there is not maybe that structure in place? I don't mean to add meaning to John's question
00:49:09.140
here, but I think that's what he's saying. Yeah. Well, I do know that the successful men
00:49:13.240
that I know they can lead themselves, they're disciplined, and I'm going to share one virtue,
00:49:19.500
I think, kind of encapsulates what it means to be, to have self-leadership. I'll explain
00:49:24.740
that in a minute. But I also think, again, every successful individual that I personally
00:49:30.540
know, hires mentors, hires coaches, invests in courses and conferences and hire learning
00:49:37.620
and educate every single one I know. Yeah. They're investing in themselves tremendously.
00:49:43.200
And if they're, and if they're not, like, I've, I've never met a successful individual
00:49:47.920
who has not invested in a coach or a resource and courses and probably all of it to the tune
00:49:54.760
of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. So yes, we do need a tractor run.
00:50:01.320
It's always interesting when I hear men say, and they usually comment back and they're being
00:50:06.480
like a little snippy about it. They're like, real men don't need men to teach them how to be men.
00:50:10.960
Wrong. That's like the exact opposite of the truth. The truth is that we all need people to emulate
00:50:18.240
myself, yourself included, all of us need people to emulate people who are further down the track.
00:50:24.100
And it isn't like this one mentor, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, who walks you through everything. It's like,
00:50:30.320
you know, sometimes I just need to learn how to like build more strength.
00:50:33.800
So I don't hire a life coach. I hired Josiah Novak to help me with like the strength component.
00:50:40.720
Right. And then I want to get good at jujitsu. So like, I don't hire a life coach,
00:50:45.080
a going and train with people who know jujitsu. I want to get good at the guitar. Like what's a life
00:50:51.880
coach going to tell me about the guitar or like a, a one all knowing mentor. I just get an app
00:50:58.260
on the app store and I just work through it. So you compartmentalize those and find the people
00:51:05.040
that you need and the resources you need to do it. So all the great people, they all have that in
00:51:08.860
common. Now, let me go back to the leadership thing or the self-leadership thing. There's one
00:51:13.420
word and one virtue that it represents that encapsulates self-leadership. It's integrity.
00:51:19.100
It's integrity. It's not discipline. It's integrity. Integrity means that you do what you
00:51:28.260
know you should be doing. That's it. So if you know, you need to wake up at five o'clock this
00:51:37.000
morning to get all your things done, to work out, to plan your day, to get into the off and that,
00:51:40.460
and that's what you want to do. And you don't do it. You're out of integrity. You're not necessarily
00:51:45.520
out of discipline. You're out of integrity. Self-leadership is an integrity issue. If you
00:51:52.100
were in integrity and you could effectively lead yourself, then you would be fully in integrity.
00:51:57.320
Meaning that if you think about the things that you should be doing and you recognize it as something
00:52:01.840
you want to be doing, then you do it only because you committed to doing it. That is integrity.
00:52:10.240
And that's what all of us need to work on. I don't have this mastered. Some days I sleep in,
00:52:14.740
some days I eat more chips and salsa than I, than I should, or that I'd like to.
00:52:19.600
Some days, you know, I, I'm not as committed to work or I don't put in the work that I need to,
00:52:23.740
when I'm here at the, you know, the office, I'm trying to bridge that gap. I'm trying to be
00:52:29.260
in integrity. So what men need is not self-leadership. Let's dig deeper. What you need is to be in
00:52:37.040
integrity. Now you can create all sorts of systems and processes and accountability and all of these
00:52:42.460
other things. And you should, but that's foundational level is, are you a man of integrity or not?
00:52:49.900
And it's as black and white as that. I like that. All right. Joseph, uh,
00:52:58.480
Keedon, this may be a question for the martial arts channel, but I was wondering if you could speak on
00:53:04.180
the difference between traditional jujitsu and Brazilian jujitsu. It seems like people use the
00:53:08.620
terms interchangeably and can never tell which, uh, which they mean. I can't speak on that. I would,
00:53:15.720
I would argue to say that 99.9% of what people practice currently is Brazilian jujitsu, even if
00:53:24.420
they say jujitsu. Yeah. But maybe you can elaborate on that Kip. I can't, I don't know enough.
00:53:30.660
Yeah. So the, the history is actually jujitsu is a origin of judo, uh, from the judo con.
00:53:39.400
So there's a lot of throwing and stuff involved in both, in both, in both. Yeah. And there's a
00:53:45.060
major shift in judo actually, as it became an Olympic sport where they got, they purposely like
00:53:50.100
changed the martial art to make it more quote unquote entertaining and removing a lot of the
00:53:55.520
ground side. You'll see guys sometimes in jujitsu or in judo tournaments, well, they'll do a throw
00:54:00.520
and then they immediately like do an arm bar. Arm bars are big, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the
00:54:05.840
correlation between judo and, well, let's just say it this way. Traditional judo is traditional
00:54:12.200
jujitsu and then it evolved, uh, into jujitsu. In fact, even in the early stages of, of the judo con,
00:54:20.300
it wasn't even called judo, right? Like it was actually called jujitsu. So what do you mean judo con?
00:54:26.620
I don't understand what you're saying. So yeah. So judo con is what jujitsu, what is
00:54:31.940
what judo originated out of jujitsu. And it was actually like a schooling within Japan that
00:54:38.620
formulated judo. But before that it was jujitsu. Like if I remember correctly, jujitsu is like a
00:54:45.940
general term. So, and it is a general term of like, uh, I can't remember the, I'm going to
00:54:51.860
slaughter it. So I can't remember, but it's a general term. It's not like a martial art. It's like,
00:54:56.620
you know, it's like fighting or, you know what I mean? Something real generic. And so,
00:55:01.440
and then all these little practices diverged from exactly. And including, so, so jujitsu was brought
00:55:06.780
to Brazil and then the Gracie's started to work with and revolutionize it. And then they brought
00:55:14.060
it from Brazil to the States. Yeah. And then they call it Brazilian jujitsu, but its origin is still
00:55:20.100
jujitsu. Right. Right. Right. So just leverage the ground game using. Yeah, I get it. Okay. Makes
00:55:27.640
sense. Yeah. Like, like Kimura, right? Like that's named after a guy in Japan, right? Like that even
00:55:33.480
Helio fought back in the day, right? It's like, you know, Helio didn't come up with the, with the
00:55:38.640
Kimura, right? Like it's actually named after a Japanese dude that, that used it. Right. So, so he,
00:55:44.740
he evolved it a little bit, added technique to it. And what's great about it is that's what we do
00:55:49.940
today. Like, that's one of the most amazing things about jujitsu is like, you know how much it's
00:55:55.860
changed since I started? Like half of these things didn't even exist. Like literally, like they did not
00:56:01.440
exist and they continue to like evolve and, and there's just new strategies and approaches. And then
00:56:08.780
the sport of jujitsu even like takes it a whole other step, you know, in another direction, which
00:56:14.980
some traditional like self-defense guys may say there's some negative, you know, aspects to the
00:56:20.480
sport of jujitsu because, you know, we may not be me, uh, managing distance as much because we're not
00:56:26.520
thinking about strikes and the traditional. Yeah. But that's so, but what people need to understand
00:56:31.160
about that is it's two different things. When I, when I talk about, for example, when you talk about
00:56:38.160
training jujitsu, most of the time you're talking about sport jujitsu, most of the time you're not
00:56:45.560
by default talking and you're not by default talking about self-defense. Now I know a lot of
00:56:50.300
jujitsu studios do more of a self-defense type jujitsu, which is, it's different, right? There's the art
00:56:58.020
and the competition side of things and competition, by the way, competitions have rules that we both
00:57:04.060
agree to you. But a street fight doesn't have rules. If I get into an altercation, I'm going to
00:57:08.780
kick a dude in the nuts and I'm going to poke him in the eyeballs and I'm going to do whatever I can
00:57:13.280
to make sure I keep myself safe. Now I'm not going to do that in a competition because there's rules,
00:57:18.420
but in a street fight, there's no rules on the street. Yeah. Like you survive, right? So I,
00:57:24.340
I actually get frustrated and people are in a real thing. It wouldn't, it's not, it's not designed to
00:57:29.280
do that. Now, is there some crossover? Of course, knowing how to use your body, knowing how to
00:57:34.560
leverage, of course, there's crossover. That's going to help you be more effective in an actual
00:57:39.100
fight. But if you want to train for a fight, you'll incorporate elements of jujitsu, elements
00:57:45.080
of striking, elements of distance management, elements of, uh, situational awareness, disengagement,
00:57:52.840
distance management, things that you don't necessarily address how to shoot a firearm. You wouldn't
00:57:58.900
learn how to shoot a firearm if all you were doing is jujitsu. So it's not like you need to pick one
00:58:04.000
or the other. Like jujitsu is part of a self-defense strategy, not the self-defense strategy.
00:58:12.040
Totally. And what's great about it too, is like, and you'll see guys adjust their game. Like I know
00:58:16.860
guys that, that purposely manage, uh, distance when they're training, even in the gi with other guys
00:58:23.860
that are maybe more competitive because that's their style. Like they're like, I purposely,
00:58:28.720
like when I train, I am thinking about strikes, like, cause I want to evolve that aspect of my
00:58:33.600
jujitsu probably more than maybe the sports side. Right. And I may not do like, I don't know,
00:58:38.120
like X guard or certain types of guards that maybe in a fight I'd, I'd get, you know, some ground and
00:58:43.940
pound strikes in the face or whatever. Yeah, exactly. So, so you'll see guys, but what's great
00:58:48.740
about the sports side of jujitsu is the game that we're playing is, is a, is a chess game and it gets
00:58:55.320
more and more complicated when you, when you remove the self-defense side of it, right? Like
00:59:01.220
the self-defense side of it, I think is very simplistic, right? You're managing distance,
00:59:05.820
you're, you're avoiding strikes and then, and it kind of stops there, but like you throw a gi on,
00:59:10.740
it's like, okay, I can choke you with this corner and I can, I can do this. And, and, and then now all
00:59:15.140
of a sudden like the possibilities and the avenues and the variations start just going crazy off the hook
00:59:21.320
where maybe you want to do like half of those if strikes were being involved. And so maybe it's
00:59:27.340
not as pure. Yeah. But I saw a, um, actually I would say it's more pure. It's more pure because
00:59:36.380
there's rules and there's things you're trying to figure out. A street fight is just raw and anything
00:59:42.360
goes. It's less pure. Anyways. Yeah. Yeah. But you don't, you don't get the complexity with the street
00:59:47.780
fight, right? Like by sports jujitsu, there's this huge heightened complexity of baiting and,
00:59:55.400
and technique. Which I think is good. Highlights your technique. I saw this video. This was years
01:00:02.920
ago. It was on a security camera and a couple of guys got into an altercation and one of them
01:00:09.160
obviously knew jujitsu and he took the guy down, he arm barred him. And then the guy who was in the
01:00:16.520
arm bar grabbed his knife, right? Cause his arms locked up, grabbed his knife and stabbed him like
01:00:21.320
half a dozen times in the chest. Yeah. It's like, dude, like, look, it's easy to be an armchair
01:00:27.880
quarterback, but like, I don't know if I'm going to be throwing an arm bar on a guy that I'm street
01:00:32.360
fighting with. If I'm going to try to choke him out really quickly, or I'm going to try to like
01:00:37.400
push them down or get some distance and like, get out of there, grab my firearm, whatever I need to do.
01:00:44.260
Like, I'm not going to be working on leg locks on a guy on a street fight. Like I'm going to try to
01:00:50.340
get around his back, choke the shit out of him and then disengage as quickly as I possibly can.
01:00:56.140
Yeah. And hopefully not even get to the point where I can choke him. Hopefully manage the distance.
01:01:00.700
Like, Hey man, like I don't even want this. Yeah, totally. And some of it's just, we don't think,
01:01:06.780
I mean, sometimes it's, well, we talk about all the time, right? You, you do, you, you know,
01:01:11.420
you go to the level of your training fight like you train. Yes. And so if we, if we don't create
01:01:16.380
those situations where we think through this, then you know, you might think, Oh man, I'm really
01:01:21.640
great at arm bars. I'm going to arm bar, but like what happens after you let him go? Like he's not
01:01:26.640
going to go, Oh, you caught me. My bad. You know, like we're done. Yeah. No, like he may even tap
01:01:31.720
and you may let go. And then he's just going to get up and keep fighting. Like you got to resolve the
01:01:35.840
solution. And that's the beauty of chokes, right? Is they go to the Island and all of a sudden
01:01:40.660
they're just kind of chill. Is that how that works? I don't know anything about that. It's this
01:01:44.600
magical Island they go to. It's a beautiful place. It's very blissful. And they feel like more kind
01:01:52.040
when they wake up, they're just like, Oh, Hey, were we fighting? Sorry. They're all docile. And yeah,
01:01:56.920
it's nice. All right. Do we have any more questions or how are we doing? We have like too many
01:02:00.900
questions. You guys are throwing all right. Let's take a couple more and then wrap things up for today.
01:02:04.660
Daniel Madison. How do men celebrate wins in a healthy way? It's interesting. Yeah. I like this.
01:02:12.920
I like it. You, you honor the work that you did. I would say that you honor the work more than the
01:02:20.520
win. That's one thing I've thought about even with like the experience, the experience, what created
01:02:26.580
the win. Honor what created the win. The win itself is like, it's out of your hand product. Yeah.
01:02:32.320
Right. Just that happens. Cause you did the work and you lose because you didn't do the work or you
01:02:36.480
did it incorrectly. That's like when you strip everything else away. So I think a healthy way
01:02:42.440
to approach and celebrate, celebrate victories is not celebrate the victory, but celebrate the effort
01:02:48.720
that went towards creating the victory. And why, why, why should you do that? Because you're honoring the
01:02:54.380
thing that produced it. Therefore you're more likely to continue to do the thing. Cause look,
01:02:59.240
what good does it do to celebrate winning the lottery? That was, you just pick some random
01:03:05.240
numbers. Like you didn't do anything. Yeah. Right. Like you didn't do it. Look, would you be
01:03:09.860
excited? Sure. Would you celebrate it? No. Cause like you didn't do anything. You spent a couple of
01:03:15.380
bucks down at the gas station, picked up a lottery ticket and it worked out and it's cool. Like it's
01:03:19.920
great, but you wouldn't celebrate that the same way that you would celebrate a promotion or getting
01:03:26.080
married or having a child or starting the business or growing it X percent. So celebrate what,
01:03:34.360
what you can't. The other thing, just don't gloat in it. Right. One of my coaches, Matt Labrum, he,
01:03:40.900
he, I remember him saying vividly cause somebody on the team was celebrating. And I remember vividly,
01:03:46.140
he would say, winning is enough. Winning is enough.
01:03:50.720
You need to do all this other stuff. Yeah. You don't. The win is enough. Let the win speak for
01:03:54.940
itself. You don't need to celebrate. You don't need to gloat. You don't need to bask in it.
01:03:58.420
And then he also said this, act like you've done it before and act like you're going to do it again.
01:04:05.440
I see these guys celebrate and I'm like, what have you never won before? Yeah. Like,
01:04:10.900
have you never experienced this before you loser? Like, are you never going to experience it again?
01:04:16.200
So, you know, take some pride in the fact that you completed what you wanted to complete.
01:04:20.880
Think about what got you to that point and then go to work. Yeah. Go back to work. What's next?
01:04:28.060
I'm a perfect example of this is, and this is a rarity because it doesn't happen very often,
01:04:32.360
but, uh, getting my, my teenage boys put in a full solid day of hard work. And I remember once,
01:04:40.420
uh, Kiyabe, he was, you know, we got done working and he goes, man, that felt good.
01:04:46.240
Right. Like that felt great. And I'm like, and here's the key. It feels great. Not because
01:04:51.840
the yard is perfect or it's in a really great place. It feels good because what we had to do
01:04:58.360
to get there. Right. You did. That's what, that's what feels good. Looking at the yard doesn't make
01:05:02.940
you like someone else could have done the yard and would have gotten in the backyard and you're like,
01:05:06.240
eh, right. But the fact that you did it, that's why, that's why that feels good.
01:05:11.780
Yeah. The yard is just a representation of the work that you did. It's the same thing I was
01:05:15.500
talking about earlier when I see the things behind me, dude, that I could buy that at the
01:05:19.520
store. Like I can find a merchandise company and I could say, Hey, I just want this like green band
01:05:24.960
with this metal thing on the end of it. And you know, I could pay 20 bucks or whatever and have
01:05:29.180
that. Yeah. And that would have, all of you guys might be impressed, right? You might be like, Ooh,
01:05:33.000
look at that. Ooh, that's cool. But I would know that I didn't do anything to earn that. Right. This
01:05:39.480
is, it's not about the metal. It's a representation of the effort and the work and the progress and the
01:05:44.420
growth and the pride. And it's okay to have that by the way, same thing with this. People say, Oh,
01:05:49.000
trophy hunter. If you want to call it a trophy or whatever, and be upset about it's a representation
01:05:54.520
of the work that it is something that I wasn't previously capable of. And now I'm capable of it.
01:05:58.880
And there it is. There's a manifestation of it. It's just a representation of the work and the effort
01:06:03.060
that went behind it, which is okay. By the way, you should celebrate those things. Yeah. Justin King,
01:06:08.160
I'm struggling to clarify my vision. I'm actually amazed at how little understanding I have of what
01:06:13.740
true, what I truly want. I want more income, but how a family, but do I, uh, but do I want to lead
01:06:21.460
them, et cetera? What are some strategies and tips to help me clarify my vision in order to take
01:06:26.700
meaningful action towards it? Well, you're more talking about objectives and tactics,
01:06:32.980
right? I want to make more money is not vision. It's an objective. And by the way, with all due
01:06:38.560
respect, it's a weak objective because what does that mean? So does that mean if you earned a dollar
01:06:43.580
more this year than last year that you'd, you'd be happy? Of course you wouldn't, right? How much more
01:06:49.160
money do you want to make? And what, what is the experience that you're hoping to have because
01:06:53.000
you have the money? That's the vision, right? What will the money create? So the, there's nothing
01:06:58.760
wrong with wanting to make more money. That's fine. It's just not a vision. But if you said,
01:07:03.700
because I want to travel the world and I want to experience different cultures and I want to like
01:07:09.620
gain this perspective that I've never considered before. And I want to be a well-rounded man who's
01:07:14.420
introduced to lots of cultures and thoughts and ideas. Now we're getting into the more of the
01:07:19.500
vision component of it, as opposed to the objective. The objective is just what makes the vision a
01:07:24.200
reality. Yeah. Like I want to be, I want to be, for example, like I want to be a committed,
01:07:31.380
engaged, loving father who's deeply connected with his children, whose children are deeply bonded with him,
01:07:38.040
who is extremely influential in the lives of his kids. And when they think about all of the
01:07:42.780
difficulties and challenges and things that they'll face throughout their life, they'll remember
01:07:47.700
and ask themselves, what would dad do in this situation? And I want to be able to, to, to take
01:07:54.540
pride in that. So that's my vision, which means that this year I have to coach my son's baseball team.
01:08:01.480
That's the objective, right? If I coach my son's baseball team, that will drive me closer to being
01:08:08.000
connected and being bonded and all of those other visions that I have about the relationship
01:08:12.440
between me and my children. And then the tactic is we practice every day for 30 minutes or for an
01:08:18.060
hour, every single day, we go take batting practice. We play catch all the things that's
01:08:24.280
the tactic, which leads to the objective, which then drives the mission forward or the, excuse me,
01:08:29.520
the vision forward. And I think for Justin, I, I think you might be struggling with getting clear
01:08:35.560
objective because you don't have a clear vision. When you get the clear vision, the objective is like,
01:08:40.500
okay, well now what do I need to do to be able to accomplish that? And that starts getting a lot
01:08:44.240
easier. Right. Yeah. I would say journaling is a very good practice to help. And some people will
01:08:50.380
say, well, what do you journal? Anything and everything. When I journal, I write down and I
01:08:56.760
have two journals. I have like a, like a personal journal and a business journal. And I write both
01:09:01.300
from the perspective of speaking of younger self that my younger self would want to read this
01:09:08.900
and be better for it. And not only my younger self, but my children. Yeah. So in 20 years,
01:09:14.540
my kids will look at it and say, whoa, that's a lesson that dad learned. And here's how he learned
01:09:18.460
it. How can I apply that? Right. That's what I do. That, that helps me. The other resource I want to
01:09:23.380

Ryan Mickler and get your swag at store.order of man.com. That's right. All right, guys. Appreciate
01:11:38.040
you. Great questions today. We'll continue to answer them as you continue to ask them. And hopefully
01:11:43.100
we'll get a few things right here, but really appreciate you being on the path guys. If you
01:11:46.300
would, I was just looking through the iTunes ratings and charts and all that stuff. And you know,
01:11:51.360
it's, it's important, not, not because like you can say you're number one, but because when you
01:11:55.620
reach those levels, you reach more men that can be impacted by what we're doing. That's,
01:12:00.460
what's important Kip to you and me. I think I can speak for you when I say that. So, so we need your
01:12:05.800
help. And the only way we can do that is through word of mouth is for you leaving rating reviews is
01:12:11.460
for you to post on Instagram, an episode that you listened to that you enjoyed, or a question that
01:12:16.420
was answered that really resonated with you. It doesn't take very long. Uh, and it's the only way,
01:12:21.820
like we don't do a bunch of sponsored posts. Like you're never going to get a bunch of like ads. I
01:12:28.260
listened to a podcast this morning, legit 11 minutes before they actually got to the meat of
01:12:33.760
the podcast. Really? Like introduction. I think they had three or four different sponsors. It was
01:12:39.100
11 minutes before they got to the meat. So we get to the meat quicker. And if we don't, it's because
01:12:45.800
we're telling stories, not because we're hawking products. Okay. So help us. Like we're trying
01:12:51.000
to put this information out to you, help us reach more men who need this and more families and
01:12:55.720
communities, the people that are going to be impacted by the men who are going to go out and
01:12:58.320
lead. And you do that by rating review, sharing, promoting, et cetera, et cetera. That's what we
01:13:03.300
ask. Yeah. All right. And, and I think it's a form of banding with us, right? Like that's,
01:13:07.720
that's how you band with this group of men, like-minded men and rub shoulders with us is by
01:13:12.260
participating. And that's a form of participation. Definitely. Definitely. All right, guys,
01:13:16.940
we'll be back on a, I think we have tomorrow, actually another podcast being released. Cause
01:13:22.080
I've got, I've done so many over the past several weeks that we're going to ramp up a little bit,
01:13:26.040
at least temporarily, probably not permanently, but we're going to- So another interview show
01:13:29.280
tomorrow. Another interview show tomorrow, the Friday field notes, we've got it all available
01:13:33.220
