Transcript

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart
00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.
00:00:10.400 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who
00:00:17.160 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.720 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, welcome to the Order of Man podcast. This is designed
00:00:28.360 to give you the tools and conversations and resources you need to thrive as a man. We
00:00:33.780 are reclaiming and restoring what it means to be a man and masculinity in society that
00:00:38.660 is increasingly dismissive, continues to make a mockery of, and undermines at every turn
00:00:44.940 masculinity and manliness. My name is Ryan Michler. I'm your host and the founder. Today,
00:00:50.140 we're going to be talking about manufactured hardship, what that means, what it doesn't
00:00:55.020 mean, and why it's important that each and every one of us learn to and create opportunities
00:01:00.660 to suffer and why that's going to be so important to you as a man.
00:01:05.260 So, before we do, let me just tell you very, very quickly that I appreciate all of the support
00:01:09.000 that I've received, not only over the past six years, but specifically over the past four
00:01:13.580 weeks as social media outlets continue to undermine what we're doing to reduce our reach.
00:01:21.280 It's very frustrating, but it's also very reassuring to know that you are in our corner. You support
00:01:29.240 what we're doing. So, if that's the case, please do a couple of things. Leave your rating review
00:01:33.220 wherever you're listening. I don't care if it's iTunes or Stitcher or Pandora or iHeartRadio or
00:01:38.740 wherever, but make sure you're leaving that rating review. That goes a long way in boosting the show
00:01:43.940 in spite of Apple's and social medias, specifically Instagram's desire to limit. We're going to continue
00:01:51.480 to use this grassroots movements to blow this thing up. Also share on social media. So, if you're
00:01:56.860 listening to this right now on Apple or wherever, just take a quick screenshot, post it up, tag me if
00:02:03.180 you can. Some of you can, some of you can't. Again, that's Instagram's games they're playing. Tag us,
00:02:08.880 let people know what you're listening to, where to go. And again, this goes a long way.
00:02:13.220 It only takes a couple of minutes. And so, I know a lot of you might be thinking,
00:02:16.360 I've got other things and I'm busy. I get it. I understand. I'm busy too. But again, just share
00:02:21.540 it, please. Just share it. All right. With that said, let's talk about manufactured hardship and
00:02:27.440 why this is important for you to know. Now, when I say manufactured hardship, I'm talking about
00:02:33.620 creating opportunities and more specifically environments where you can suffer physically,
00:02:39.980 mentally, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And that's important because in society today,
00:02:48.240 everything is relatively easy. There isn't a whole lot of hardship outside of a medical diagnosis or
00:02:56.280 a death or a lawsuit or loss of a job, all of which I understand can be very, very difficult.
00:03:02.960 Outside of those factors, life really isn't that hard. I mean, we measure bad days by
00:03:11.240 how long it took us to get to work or the fact that our internet was out for five minutes or even
00:03:17.520 30 minutes or that the teenager at McDonald's or Starbucks got your mocha frappuccino, unicorn
00:03:27.060 whipped cream drink or whatever it is that they got it wrong. They put the wrong flavor in it.
00:03:33.720 And so, that ruins your day. Guys, life is easy. It's simple. It's not hard. And this is a luxury
00:03:42.440 that has been afforded to us by two things. Number one, the men who have come before us
00:03:46.860 who have put quite literally their lives on the line in order to ensure that we have opportunities
00:03:52.120 to grow and to progress and to create these creature comforts that we have. And also through
00:03:57.900 our own hard work and efforts that we put forth to put food on the table, a roof over ours and our
00:04:04.820 family's heads and to create the experiences and opportunities that we have. So, in light of life
00:04:13.600 being very easy, it's also very convenient for us to just coast, for us to go with the status quo
00:04:21.420 and become complacent and to become lazy and weak and mediocre because nothing is calling upon us
00:04:30.460 to step up to rise to the challenge. So, what we need to do is we need to deliberately and
00:04:36.520 intentionally create hardship for ourselves in controlled environments. Now, let me tell you
00:04:43.680 what this is not. When I'm talking about manufacturing hardship, I'm not talking about making life harder
00:04:50.960 for the sake of being harder. I'm talking about creating environments, specifically training environments
00:04:58.400 where you can go for 12 hours or 24 hours or 60 hours of something that's going to be mentally and
00:05:06.060 physically and emotionally grueling so that when you are faced with the challenges of real life,
00:05:12.340 you've got a perspective, you've got a framework, you've got a benchmark for how difficult things
00:05:17.080 actually are or lack thereof. So, I'm not talking about making things harder than they need to be just for
00:05:24.940 the sake of making it hard. And I know a lot of guys who will do that because I've had thousands
00:05:29.060 and thousands of conversations with men who think that, well, if I just make it harder than it needs
00:05:33.980 to be, then I'm doing good. No. Training should be harder than it needs to be so that when you're faced
00:05:39.220 with real life scenarios, those will be, I should say, you'll be more equipped to be able to deal with
00:05:45.900 those. That's the first thing. The second thing is I'm not talking about complaining and bitching
00:05:52.140 and moaning and griping and playing the victim card because a lot of guys will do that too.
00:05:57.460 They'll look at a scenario and they'll think, well, you know, my life's hard because of X, Y,
00:06:01.520 and Z. And so, I'm tougher than the next guy because I had to deal with this. Look, we're not
00:06:07.320 about creating excuses here. We're not about paying ourselves as the victim. And let me be very clear on
00:06:15.120 this because there seems to be a lot of confusion about what the victim card is because I usually have
00:06:19.460 just a few, just a few people on social media who, when I suggest that something's happening,
00:06:26.160 for example, I talked about the social media thing. People will say, well, that's the victim
00:06:29.840 card. Guys, it's not the victim card to acknowledge what's happening. The victim card is saying something's
00:06:37.040 happening to you and there's nothing you can do about it. And so, you just toss your hands up in
00:06:40.540 the air and say, well, I guess, you know, I'm screwed. That's the victim card. Please understand that.
00:06:46.480 If you're listening to this and you've ever messaged me and say, well, Ryan, why are you
00:06:49.820 playing the victim? Please understand that acknowledging the truth about a scenario is
00:06:55.420 not being the victim, but giving the power to other people, other authorities, other institutions,
00:07:02.460 and saying, well, I can't do anything about it. So, therefore, I'm not going to do anything.
00:07:07.120 I think that's the victim card. Use the six-inch space between your ears to understand what I'm
00:07:14.660 talking about. I know social media has been conditioning us to make us incapable of exercising
00:07:20.240 critical thinking and discernment, but damn, you guys know what the victim card is and what it isn't.
00:07:27.460 And so, when I'm talking about manufacturing hardship, I'm not talking about just playing
00:07:31.140 the victim card and pretending things that are worse than they really are because really,
00:07:34.560 they're not. And all you need to do is look around and see what people actually are dealing
00:07:39.940 with. Medical diagnoses, loss of a loved one, lawsuit, maybe they got in a car accident,
00:07:46.760 going through a divorce or separation. These are hardships. This is a challenge.
00:07:54.700 But what's not a challenge is the things that we make up. Like somebody cut us off on the road
00:08:00.820 or somebody yelled at us or we lost a client or we got passed over for a promotion. I mean,
00:08:10.520 those things suck for sure. Or again, the teenager at McDonald's gave you a single Big Mac
00:08:17.980 instead of the double Big Mac. That's what people get upset about. Why? Because they have no basis of
00:08:26.220 what is actually hard and what isn't. I mean, here I am sitting in this climate-controlled
00:08:31.380 environment. I've got the technology and I've got access to all these books and I've got the fan
00:08:36.680 cranking right now and I've got the lights on, which means I have electricity and I'm hydrated
00:08:42.340 because I drank a bunch of water and I went and trained this morning. So, like life is pretty easy.
00:08:48.440 So, when I'm talking about manufacturing hardship, guys, what I'm talking about is creating environments,
00:08:55.800 situations, experiences where you have to exert yourself more than you normally would in your
00:09:01.960 day-to-day life. And the reason I'm talking about this with you today is because I just got back this
00:09:08.520 last weekend from my friend, Bedros Koulian, who runs a couple of different programs. A lot of you guys
00:09:14.480 are familiar with him. He's the founder and CEO of Fit Body Bootcamp. He's also the author of the book
00:09:21.760 Man Up. He's been on the podcast a couple of times. And in addition to that and other things, he runs a
00:09:26.860 couple of programs. One is called The Project, which is a men's program. It's a 72 or 75-hour crucible type
00:09:34.780 event. But he also runs another event called The Squire Program. And The Squire Program is for fathers and
00:09:43.620 their sons. And I think the ages are between 13 to 16, 13 to 15, somewhere right in there.
00:09:50.780 Well, my son and I, this past weekend, went and participated in his Squire Program. Now,
00:09:56.040 you've heard me talk about a legacy event, which is a father-son event. It's a three and a half day
00:09:59.900 experience with fathers and their sons. They'll stay here in my barn and we'll do a lot of physically
00:10:04.060 and mentally and emotionally demanding things, all designed to forge deeper connections between
00:10:08.040 father and son. So, you've heard me talk about this. Well, here's my thought is I don't have
00:10:14.800 the right, frankly, to ask you as men who are following along with what we're doing to ask you
00:10:21.720 to do things that I'm not willing to do myself. And when I'm leading these events, I can't really
00:10:25.720 participate to the degree that you can. So, I have to get that elsewhere. And so, Bedros invited
00:10:31.740 myself and my son to his Squire Program. And it's a 15-hour event, roughly, give or take.
00:10:38.180 And so, we go at, you know, four or five in the afternoon and we went all night and then we ended
00:10:44.000 at about eight o'clock in the morning. And the entire event was built around suffering in controlled
00:10:54.120 environments. Again, not for the sake of suffering, but for the sake of making us stronger, tougher,
00:10:59.240 more resilient, equipping us with the mindsets and the skill sets that we need to thrive
00:11:04.040 in challenging and difficult times. So, we went on hikes and we were carrying equipment and we did
00:11:09.960 little mini workouts and we were up all night, which is a challenge in and of itself. My son went
00:11:15.900 through his own things that I know a little bit about, but there's some things that he did
00:11:21.320 physically, mentally, emotionally. And then we had some experiences. I'm trying not to give away too
00:11:27.800 much because it would be worthy of you checking out yourself. But again, it was all designed to
00:11:32.920 make things difficult, challenging, demanding, and then equipping us with what we need to be able to
00:11:37.720 thrive when things do actually get tough. And most men don't do that. Right? We take the path of least
00:11:46.140 resistance. I've talked about it over and over and over again on this podcast. The natural man.
00:11:52.220 Guys, the natural man, the man that you and I default to is weak and he's lazy and he's pathetic
00:12:00.600 and he's cowardly and he's greedy and selfish. He wants the results without putting forth the effort.
00:12:09.240 And I'm not pointing fingers at you. This is me just as much as it is you. We choose the path of
00:12:14.520 least resistance. And I'm telling you to choose the path of most resistance in your training,
00:12:20.000 not in real life, in training. So that when you're met with a demanding task or your boss
00:12:27.340 asks you to do something, or you have a deadline with a client, or you're in a difficult situation
00:12:32.440 with your wife, or you find yourself in a physical altercation, that this isn't the first time you've
00:12:38.920 ever been exposed to hardship. But because of the ease of modernity in which we live, it's not going
00:12:45.960 to be presented to you over and over and over again. It's going to be presented in isolated
00:12:52.140 moments. And then you have to ask yourself in that moment, am I capable? Am I worthy?
00:12:57.980 Do I have what it takes? As John Eldridge would ask in his book, Wild at Heart. Do I have what it
00:13:04.100 takes? Well, I don't want when you deal with a medical condition or a lawsuit or an injury or a loss
00:13:10.220 of a loved one or a divorce, I don't want that to be the first time that you've ever dealt with
00:13:13.660 hardship. So what we need to do is we need to create environments, the Squire program, legacy,
00:13:19.560 which is the event we run, the main event, which is another event that we run, going to jujitsu,
00:13:25.500 going to train, exercise, physically, grueling, demanding tasks, Spartan races, stepping up when there's
00:13:33.680 an opportunity to speak in public and you don't feel like doing it. See, there's an interesting thing.
00:13:39.240 So we've got this emotion of fear, right? All of us experience fear. It isn't something that
00:13:45.440 anybody has ever relieved themselves of. All of us have fear, even the most bold, even the most
00:13:52.060 courageous. In fact, you can't be bold and courageous unless you have some level of fear.
00:13:58.000 If we were to go to superheroes, for example, what kind of superhero is Superman? I mean, he can fly in
00:14:05.360 x-ray vision and he's invincible and everything else. And that's all fine and great. But because
00:14:10.600 you're invincible, does that make you a hero? No, it doesn't. It doesn't make you a hero because
00:14:17.920 you're invincible. What makes you a hero is that you are able to experience pain and suffering and
00:14:24.560 loss and potentially die. And yet you choose to move forward. That's what makes you superhuman.
00:14:30.980 That's what makes it worthy is that the fact that in the wake of fear, you move forward.
00:14:41.940 So we all have fear. We all experience it. And what I want each and every one of us to do is to be
00:14:49.780 able to not overcome fear, but to be able to deal with it effectively. And how do you deal with it
00:14:55.060 effectively? You make yourself capable of handling it. I was in a BNI business network international
00:15:04.080 years and years ago. In fact, I had Dr. Ivan Meisner on the podcast, uh, probably about a year or so
00:15:09.780 ago. And one of the things that we do in business network international is that we have the opportunity
00:15:15.980 to get up and spend anywhere between five to 10 minutes presenting some sort of concept or idea or a
00:15:22.980 business pitch. And I remember specifically going to our BNI presidency of our local chapter and
00:15:29.720 saying, Hey, anytime anybody bails on doing this speaking opportunity, just know I'll step in on a
00:15:36.960 moment's notice. That means if I have 30 second notice or 10 second notice or no notice at all,
00:15:43.540 or two days notice, I will step in. And they called on me. I can't tell you it's probably a dozen times
00:15:49.660 in maybe a period of a year or two, which may means that I had the opportunity to present and
00:15:57.220 put myself out in front of other people. But you know, what was funny is I thought about this.
00:16:00.820 I asked them, I said, who else has volunteered to do this, to step in a moment's notice. And they
00:16:05.460 said, no one, no one. Well, damn guys, the opportunities come on the other side of the fear.
00:16:15.120 And there's an interesting thing about fear. And this is what I was going to tell you earlier is
00:16:19.480 that it's, it's there for a reason, but there's only one of two things that happen.
00:16:26.200 And there's only one of two things that your fear is telling you two things. That's it.
00:16:31.620 Number one, this is either going to hurt you physically, mentally, emotionally, or kill you.
00:16:37.940 That's number one. It's going to hurt you or it's going to kill you.
00:16:40.880 The other thing that fear is telling you is that this is going to push you outside of your comfort
00:16:46.120 zone. And our emotions are not developed enough at this point in our lives or evolution or creation
00:16:54.380 to distinguish the difference between what will hurt us and kill us and what is simply going to
00:17:01.860 push us outside of our comfort zone. But our brains have developed enough where we can actually sit down
00:17:09.100 and critically think about situations and ask again, critically, is the reason that I'm experiencing
00:17:17.000 fear because I need to avoid this situation because I will get physically, mentally, or emotionally hurt
00:17:24.780 or killed? Or is it because it's going to push me outside of my comfort zone? And you have to ask
00:17:32.260 yourself, and this takes a mature man, this takes rational thinking, this takes somebody who has
00:17:38.040 experienced hardship and pain and suffering to be able to distinguish between the two.
00:17:43.640 And the more equipped you are to distinguish between the two, the more often you will actually
00:17:48.000 move forward and pass the fear that it's just going to push you outside of your comfort zone.
00:17:55.340 Because look, I'm telling you, if it's going to kill you or hurt you, there's probably a reason
00:17:59.060 you should not do it. But if it's just going to push you outside of your comfort zone, you should.
00:18:04.480 So a lot of times I'll have guys ask me, well, Ryan, I believe in this concept of manufactured
00:18:08.940 hardship where we're creating training environments that are difficult and demanding and challenging for
00:18:14.920 us. And I know how to do it on the physical realm, right? You can go to the gym, you can go to train
00:18:22.000 jujitsu, you can participate in a marathon or a Spartan race. So the physical domain is easy.
00:18:27.840 It's the mental and emotional domain that are more difficult.
00:18:34.200 And so how do you figure out what's going to be hardship for you in the spiritual, emotional,
00:18:40.260 and mental realm? It's the things that scare you guys. Very simply, it's the things that scare you.
00:18:45.620 So to go back to my B&I story, if you have an opportunity to speak in public, then you should
00:18:50.620 speak in public. Ryan, I don't know how I'm afraid. What if I do this? What if I say this wrong? What if
00:18:56.480 people think less of me? That's the reason you should do it. If there's an opportunity at work
00:19:04.640 for somebody, anybody to step up, to lead a project, to lead the team, to present new ideas,
00:19:12.120 to present new concepts, and you're sitting in the corner cowering like a little baby because you're
00:19:17.220 scared of putting yourself out there. That's the exact reason that you should do it because you're
00:19:24.260 afraid. And here's the beauty. The more that you're afraid because it's going to push you outside of
00:19:32.100 your comfort zone, and the more frequently you decide to move forward in the wake of your fear,
00:19:38.120 the more capable you become of managing the fear and the challenge and the hardship that comes with
00:19:46.300 putting yourself out there. Now, the third component or tier of masculinity that we talk about,
00:19:51.980 in fact, it's on my hat. Protect, provide, preside. This third component, preside. Leadership.
00:19:59.720 You can't lead unless you're capable of leading. You can try. You can get the promotion. You can get
00:20:07.360 the title and the fancy name tag on your desk. You can get all that stuff. Or the rank.
00:20:13.160 I've had military leaders who, leaders, I'm using that term loosely, quote unquote, leaders
00:20:20.680 that I don't trust, that I don't hold in high regard because I know they're not doing what it
00:20:29.680 takes to make themselves tough and resilient and gritty and capable. So, the third component of
00:20:35.620 preside here is leadership. And here's what leaders do. They go first. They move forward in the wake of
00:20:42.660 fear. It's not that they have an absence of fear. It's that they move forward in spite of it.
00:20:47.100 So, guys, what I want you to do is I want you to find opportunities for things to be difficult.
00:20:51.680 Again, not for the sake of being difficult, not for the sake of making things harder than they
00:20:57.780 need to be or telling everybody's stories of how wonderful you are, but so that you can set the
00:21:02.300 precedent and the framework in which things are really hard. If you're complaining, if the hardest
00:21:08.240 part of your day is somebody cuts you off on the road, then that's because you actually don't know
00:21:14.420 what hardship is. And what I don't want to have happen is that when you're actually met with
00:21:21.380 something that is difficult, objectively difficult, like your wife, for example, comes to you and says,
00:21:26.620 I want a divorce. I don't want you to crumble. I don't want you to fall apart as a man.
00:21:32.860 I don't want you to become a little baby and become desperate and lose who you are.
00:21:39.860 I want you to be able to deal with it effectively.
00:21:43.960 I want you to strive in this case to continue that marriage and to work through what needs
00:21:48.220 to be worked through. But I want you to be a man who can stand on his feet.
00:21:53.040 I don't want you to crumble. And I've seen guys do it. They crumble. Man, they lose a job and they
00:21:57.440 crumble. They go through a divorce and they crumble. They have a loss of a loved one and they crumble.
00:22:02.140 And nothing else moves forward. Life can be challenging and life can be hard and demanding
00:22:10.680 and painful. But a lot of that comes because we haven't inoculated ourself against that pain.
00:22:24.180 And inoculation doesn't mean I'm going to shut off my emotions. It doesn't mean I'm going to subdue
00:22:28.440 or sedate them through drugs or alcohol or pornography, which a lot of men do. That's not
00:22:33.640 how you inoculate yourself. You inoculate yourself through perspective. So if you wake up every
00:22:40.280 morning, just like I did this morning at a little after five o'clock this morning, my alarm went off.
00:22:45.800 And the first response I had was, I don't want to get out of bed. I'm tired. I just did this thing,
00:22:53.480 the Squire program with Bedros and I'm tired. I'm not fully recovered. And you know, I deserve it.
00:22:59.340 And I've earned it. All these little lies that I tell to myself. And yet I got out of bed
00:23:05.500 and I went to the gym and I trained jujitsu and I got my neck squeezed and I got my arms pulled on.
00:23:12.780 And I was presented with challenging situations so that when whatever help happens throughout the
00:23:18.640 rest of the day, I already have the framework for which I'm going to operate, which is to get up,
00:23:23.480 get out of bed, go put yourself in physically challenging situations. And then it gives me a
00:23:28.980 perspective on the rest of the thing. So here's what I would suggest in closing today, guys.
00:23:36.140 Life is hard at times. I'm not saying it isn't, but I am saying that the opportunity,
00:23:43.100 and I'm using that word deliberately, the opportunity for hardship is few and far between.
00:23:49.000 I know a lot of you guys are thinking to yourselves right now, as I say that, well,
00:23:52.260 you don't understand, Ryan, my life is hard. Maybe you think it is. Maybe you think it is,
00:24:00.680 but that's objective.
00:24:05.500 And you can improve your ability to deal with these situations by putting yourself under physically,
00:24:11.960 mentally, emotionally demanding situations. And then if you do that enough, maybe in the next 30
00:24:18.740 days or 60 days or 12 months, you might say to me, Ryan, my life is not that hard.
00:24:23.700 And I'll tell you here, my life is not all that hard. I don't want to jinx that by any means,
00:24:32.340 but my life really isn't that hard. I wake up, my wife's next to me, my kids are healthy,
00:24:39.800 I'm healthy, I have a comfortable bed to sleep on. Our house is climate controlled. We live in this
00:24:47.880 beautiful area and have these amazing blessings and a lot of abundance in our lives. Again, I'm not
00:24:55.240 trying to jinx myself here at all, but a lot of that comes from my perspective because I'm willing
00:25:02.100 to put myself in situations that are difficult. And guys, you're going to be mad with them. You are.
00:25:07.360 Life's going to happen and it's going to kick you right in the dick.
00:25:09.620 And when that time comes, there's only one of two types of men, the man that cowers,
00:25:20.280 the man that buckles and folds and slinks off into the corner and go cries himself to sleep
00:25:26.440 or the man that says, damn, that hurt, but I'm going to stand back up.
00:25:34.220 I'm going to do what needs to be done. I'm going to equip myself with the mindset and skill sets
00:25:39.060 needed to thrive. And I'm going to keep marching forward. And the only difference between the two
00:25:45.240 is the guy who was deliberate and intentional about creating hardship for himself in controlled
00:25:52.560 environments to give him a perspective and a framework to deal with it when shit actually
00:25:58.380 hits the fan. So the question remains, which man are you? Are you the wimp, the weakling,
00:26:07.720 the coward that is afraid of everything that runs away from any sort of challenge or hardship
00:26:16.100 or confrontation, or are you the man who is still afraid and yet chooses deliberately and
00:26:23.140 intentionally to walk into and step into the fear to make himself more capable, stronger,
00:26:31.560 more competent, more assertive, more bold so that he can deal with life as it happens
00:26:39.320 and then protect those under his care. There's a great quote by David Gilmour. He says,
00:26:46.040 the real man gains renown by standing between his family and destruction,
00:26:51.940 absorbing the blows of fate with equanimity.
00:26:55.560 Equanimity means calmness, coolness, clarity, control. That's the kind of man I want to be.
00:27:05.800 Therefore, I need to confront danger in controlled environments so that I'm more able
00:27:12.280 to have this level of equanimity when life really gets difficult.
00:27:18.740 So here's what I want you guys to do. Move forward into the fear, into the fray,
00:27:24.560 into the uncomfortable, physically, mentally, emotionally demanding situations,
00:27:27.720 and then shoot me a message. You can connect with me in a lot of different ways. You can email me,
