Order of Man - Men Plant Trees Before They Need Shade ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 You don't plant an oak tree for yourself. You plant it for the men who inherits the land,

00:00:06.920 the men who come after you. Most of us who are listening to this right now are not building

00:00:12.140 anything that we won't see finished. A man who builds what he can finish in his own lifetime

00:00:18.640 has decided on his own that comfort, that his comfort, that his ego, that his notoriety

00:00:25.400 matters more than what comes after him. You have to plant with no promise of shade.

00:00:30.000 Men, as we get close to July 4th and also the 250th anniversary and celebration of America's

00:00:40.080 founding, I want to share something with you that I think not only will help us realize what

00:00:44.760 greater men potentially than us have sacrificed to make this American dream happen, but also what

00:00:51.320 we can do as men to honor, respect, and live up to the ideals that these individuals espoused.

00:01:00.000 And as we start, I want you to think about something. Imagine something. Close your eyes if you can. If you're on the road, don't. If you're running, don't. But if you're in a position where you can just close your eyes for a second, I want you to imagine something with me.

00:01:13.900 We're in Philadelphia right now.

00:01:16.380 It's the summer of 1776.

00:01:21.000 There's no air conditioning.

00:01:23.360 The windows are shut tight, so the British can't hear a word that 50 of us packed into a room, sweating through our coats,

00:01:37.240 not arguing about a flag or a parade or pride or what we should or should not celebrate but

00:01:44.820 we're arguing about whether to sign a document a single piece of paper that if this thing fails

00:01:54.320 if this thing doesn't work then every single one of us in that room all 50 of us get hanged

00:02:01.540 for treason. We get killed. And then I want you to imagine that all of us decide we're going to 0.97

00:02:08.780 sign this thing anyways. And here's what nobody talks about on the 4th of July. Not one of those

00:02:18.060 men actually saw it finished. Not one. Jefferson did not live to see this country, this amazing

00:02:27.040 experiment that he helped birth stop owning other individuals. Adams didn't live to see women vote. 0.73

00:02:38.540 Washington didn't live to see the constitution that he set the precedent for, tested by a civil

00:02:46.940 war that would decide if the whole experiment survived, if at all. But these men, they built

00:02:54.900 something they knew going in that they probably would never see completed and that's that's not

00:03:04.280 a footnote to the founding that that is the founding that's the founding you know there's

00:03:11.900 an old line that nobody agrees exactly where it came from but it's been passed down for probably

00:03:19.960 these centuries at this point, that a society grows great when old men plant trees whose

00:03:27.860 shade they know they will never sit in.

00:03:31.460 And I want you to think about that for a second on July 3rd. 0.93

00:03:38.560 A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in. 0.98

00:03:45.800 because that cuts against everything that frankly we as human beings are wired for 1.00

00:03:52.740 you know we live in a culture that has trained us to uh want all of the the results without the

00:04:00.060 effort all of the return before we've even finished making the investment you know you

00:04:08.400 post it you get some likes you send it you get the reply you work the quarter you get the bonus

00:04:14.460 Everything's been whittled down into this wildly immediate feedback loop that you can feel today.

00:04:25.620 But the things that actually matter in your life and in all men's lives are the things that outlast us.

00:04:35.760 That they don't work on a loop.

00:04:38.240 A tree doesn't care that you're impatient, that you want the results right now.

00:04:42.920 A nation like we founded in 1776 doesn't care that you want to see it mature and realize in your lifetime.

00:04:52.900 Your son doesn't turn into a man because you wanted just a really quick turnaround and validation on how good of a father you were.

00:05:02.760 The founding fathers understood this because they had no other choice.

00:05:08.220 There was no version of 1776 where you signed the declaration and then had a finished country by Tuesday.

00:05:19.600 You just checked it off the list.

00:05:21.740 Oh, yeah, we signed and now we're a country and we're good to go.

00:05:25.240 These men, greater men, I think, than you and I at some times, they were planting.

00:05:31.180 They were sowing seeds.

00:05:34.980 But they weren't harvesting.

00:05:36.340 that wasn't the time for harvest and now here we sit on the back of or the shoulders of great men

00:05:43.000 50 men hundreds of men thousands of men potentially millions of men who came before us

00:05:49.500 who did better things than us and we get to sit on their shoulders and tell the world how great we

00:05:56.220 are when the reality is is this took 250 freaking years to get to this point

00:06:06.000 And in other countries and for our international brothers, longer, 500, 700, 1,000, 2,000 years.

00:06:17.580 I'm going to talk about some of our founding fathers today.

00:06:21.080 John Adams wrote home to his wife, Abigail, more than once about the price that he was paying.

00:06:30.140 He spent years at this point away from his family.

00:06:33.420 He spent years neglecting his own farm, his own comfort sacrificed, and he framed it this way more than once actually as a trade across generations.

00:06:49.160 He wasn't doing the hard, ugly work of politics and war so that he could enjoy the fruit of it like we do today.

00:06:57.400 I mean, you see these dorks and these social media influencers.

00:07:02.100 We call them politicians.

00:07:03.040 We call them representatives.

00:07:05.160 We call them congressmen and women.

00:07:08.460 And they're posting for the gram, right?

00:07:12.880 But that's not what Adams and Jefferson and Washington were doing.

00:07:19.780 They weren't posting for the gram.

00:07:21.680 They actually believed it.

00:07:22.880 He was doing it so that his sons could have more freedom to build their lives, to build their freedom, their prosperity, their pursuit of happiness, and then their sons and their sons and their sons.

00:07:37.200 And he did it so that he could have room to create art and philosophy and the finer things that an incredible nation like ours only affords once all of that fighting and that bickering and that blood is spilled.

00:07:55.320 A man like Adams and Jefferson and Washington and Franklin, they knew they would need to get in the mud.

00:08:10.940 Not their kids, not their grandkids.

00:08:14.600 They needed to so that their kids and their grandkids would get to harvest.

00:08:18.340 Jefferson did something very similar, but with his hands in the dirt instead of a pen at Monticello, he planted orchards and trees.

00:08:32.400 He calculated on paper that probably at this point would not mature for decades.

00:08:40.320 I've got a good close friend of mine. His name is Matt. And his father, Tom, as I was driving around with him in Minnesota on one of my hunts, he's planting trees, acres and acres, hundreds, if not thousands of trees.

00:08:58.000 And I said, this is pretty amazing. How long will it take for these to mature? And he said to me, Ryan, you know what? I'll never see these trees mature. I'll never see them mature. But my kids will.

00:09:10.320 And my grandkids will. Man, that hit me.

00:09:15.980 And that's the story, partly of Jefferson. Trees that he'd be, he'd be an old man before he'd be able to sit under and enjoy some of the shade.

00:09:26.100 If he saw it at all, and he probably didn't, he planted them anyways, because that was the whole point.

00:09:30.640 You don't plant an oak tree for yourself. You plant it for the men who inherits the land, the men who come after you.

00:09:40.320 adams and jefferson weren't being noble for the sake of a good quote like a viral

00:09:48.420 we do today they were doing the most basic unglamorous thing that a builder by his nature

00:09:59.520 does they're laying a foundation for a structure that somebody else gets to enjoy

00:10:05.860 that somebody else gets to stand on, that somebody else gets to build on.

00:10:11.780 And I think Washington also gives you a really great example.

00:10:16.040 I've studied Washington for a decade at this point.

00:10:20.460 And I think there's a movie coming out shortly, Young Washington.

00:10:24.620 You should definitely check it out.

00:10:26.040 I haven't seen it yet.

00:10:27.020 But man, the more we learn about our founding fathers, the better.

00:10:31.600 And what I think is important is not all of this is a battle.

00:10:34.480 It's the moment that he walked away from power.

00:10:37.440 You all know this story.

00:10:38.540 He could have stayed president or more aptly king.

00:10:43.480 He could have been a king in everything but the title, the name.

00:10:49.140 A lot of guys around him probably expected it.

00:10:54.360 And maybe a lot of guys around him probably hoped for it.

00:10:59.000 Instead, what he decided to do is serve two terms as president, and then he left on purpose, not because the job was done.

00:11:06.360 It wasn't. Obviously, there was more work to do.

00:11:09.820 The country at that point was fragile, and it was unproven.

00:11:17.720 It was probably less than a few years from falling apart.

00:11:21.480 But because he understood that the precedent of stepping down and planting that tree mattered more than his control, more than his ego, more than making himself a king, if not a god, in the eyes of those who would follow.

00:11:39.420 So he built an institution, a very peaceful transfer of power.

00:11:45.720 And over the past 250 years in this great nation, we have transferred power, whether you agree, whether you like it, whether you don't like it, whether the president before was good or bad or indifferent or evil or horrible or noble or whatever.

00:12:00.240 Every president from that point on has peacefully transferred power.

00:12:05.380 Imagine that for a second. Look at any other nation in the history of humankind and ask me where there has been a peaceful transfer of power that doesn't exist outside of the United States.

00:12:25.100 And George Washington would never get to test what he implemented, what he believed. He wouldn't be around for the elections 100 or 200 years later that proved whether or not he made the right decisions.

00:12:41.760 He handed it off. All of the load bearing sacrifice and commitment, the whole structure and trusted men that he'd never meet, frankly, to keep standing.

00:12:55.900 And that's not humility. That's just strategy. That's a man's thinking in centuries while everyone else around him was thinking in years.

00:13:04.680 And I found that for me in my own life, the longer I extend my time horizon, the more likely it is that I will make good decisions.

00:13:12.820 If I'm making a decision today, in this moment, in this hour, in this minute, I'll probably make a dumb decision because that's where the emotion gets us.

00:13:23.720 You know, if I'm feeling uncomfortable, I'm going to do something silly to make myself uncomfortable.

00:13:27.600 If I'm feeling lonely, I'm going to go out and reach out to somebody who maybe I shouldn't reach out to in order for me not to feel lonely.

00:13:35.980 If I'm feeling sad or broken or downtrodden, I'm going to reach out to the bottle or to drugs or to pornography or to addiction of any sort so that I don't have to feel this in the moment.

00:13:47.320 But the longer you extend your time horizon or the decisions you're making, the more likely it is that you'll make good decisions.

00:13:54.240 and and here's here here's the turn that i need you to make

00:14:00.700 most of us who are listening to this right now are not building anything that we won't see finished

00:14:07.820 we're going to build things that we can see finished by friday you know i look around at

00:14:15.880 the construction and the building going on i live in southern utah and you know all credit to these

00:14:21.740 home builders but you could drive down the road today and see a foundation port and then tomorrow

00:14:28.040 you can see not only a frame but it drywalled windows installed being roughed in it's like

00:14:35.620 how did that happen in 24 hours everything is about immediate gratification like just get it

00:14:40.840 done fast like complete it as quickly as possible to hell with a standard but just complete it as

00:14:46.360 quick as possible i mean there's a real pain in doing work that nobody claps for uh that work

00:14:55.700 that nobody will see work that won't pay off before you're dead and buried in a coffin in

00:15:02.120 the ground and the ants are munching on you but that's part of the culture that we've created

00:15:06.560 and part of it is something older than culture it's it's just ego right we want the credit

00:15:14.440 And the credit only counts if you're, at least to you, if you're alive to collect that credit.

00:15:24.320 But here's a deeper factor hiding over that one.

00:15:30.960 And I think it's worth talking about very plainly.

00:15:34.360 A man who builds or only builds what he can finish in his own lifetime has decided on his own that comfort, that his comfort, that his ego, that his notoriety matters more than what comes after him.

00:15:49.280 And that's the problem with politics today is everybody's thinking about how can I get mine?

00:15:53.600 How can I be awesome?

00:15:54.740 How can I get social media followers?

00:15:56.780 How can I build my clout?

00:15:57.960 And those people, you can see right through it. And if you can't, you're the idiot, not them, because they're just preying on you. 1.00

00:16:07.920 But everybody's focused on what I can build today and what makes me better. 1.00

00:16:15.040 That's not that's not strength. That's not prudence. That's not wisdom.

00:16:22.460 The founders of our country, they didn't have that luxury, but you do.

00:16:28.440 And that's exactly why I think a lot of guys just waste it.

00:16:34.780 So the first thing I need you to understand is that you have to have strategy in your life.

00:16:40.400 You have to plant with no promise of shade.

00:16:43.220 That's the first strategy.

00:16:47.280 Name the tree that you're planting that you will never sit under.

00:16:50.960 I remember when I moved to southern Utah from California, and as my mom and my stepfather, my ex-stepfather, built this home, there was a pine tree that we planted.

00:17:07.960 And the pine tree was probably, I don't know, two or three feet tall.

00:17:12.540 And I remember I used to jump, literally jump over the pine tree.

00:17:16.680 and me and my buddies would see how high I would get over the pine tree and then over the course

00:17:21.600 of years and decades and at this point 25 yeah 25 almost 30 years 30 years shit 30 years now

00:17:31.660 I drove by uh that pine tree and that house just a couple of weeks ago it's got to be 30 feet tall

00:17:40.020 I didn't enjoy that I enjoyed jumping over it but I didn't enjoy the shade

00:17:47.600 Well, guys, when you think about what you want to create out of your life, it's not a goal that you're going to hit next year.

00:17:52.960 It's something with a longer arc than your own life.

00:17:55.840 And then we can reverse engineer.

00:17:57.680 It's the character that you're building into your son.

00:18:01.940 That won't fully show up until the next two decades.

00:18:06.620 You know, I see my oldest son who's graduating now, and I just I love him to death.

00:18:11.340 And I think the world of him, I'm so proud of what he's creating. 0.94

00:18:15.340 20 fucking years of working and building and failing and succeeding and resetting and apologizing and trying. 0.98

00:18:25.940 20 years. 0.99

00:18:28.540 It's the business that is built on your principle instead of just quick fixes and immediate gratification.

00:18:37.500 I started 20 years ago in the financial services industry, and here's what it led me to.

00:18:43.820 It took me 20 years.

00:18:47.900 And then I look at my elders, my parents, my grandparents, people who I'm inspired by who are older than me.

00:18:54.760 And I think, well, I want what you have.

00:18:56.180 Well, you didn't do what they did.

00:19:00.480 It's the family name that you're trying to repair so that your grandkids inherent of good name, respect, instead of an apology owed.

00:19:10.460 I mean, write it down one sentence.

00:19:12.340 You can name it.

00:19:13.820 have you planted anything and if you haven't planted today what is the long-lasting legacy

00:19:23.700 i'm going to leave all right number two i want you to write down or write a letter that you

00:19:29.640 won't be there to read do it do what men like john adams did write a letter real like a physical

00:19:36.960 sealed letter to your son to your grandson to your daughter whoever comes after you not not for today

00:19:44.960 but for later you know maybe it's 30 years down the road and you write a letter you tell them

00:19:51.440 what you were trying to build and what it cost you and and what you hope that they do with it

00:19:58.500 this is a very it's a sentimental exercise

00:20:04.660 but it's also a discipline it it forces you to think past your own

00:20:14.280 death your own funeral which is exactly the muscle that most men can't exercise that they

00:20:20.880 can never train all right number three build an institution not necessarily empire okay fill

00:20:28.320 things that don't need you around to thrive because that's what i think of when i think of

00:20:32.120 empire. The Mickler empire, it's all built around me. It revolves around me. I've been watching

00:20:38.860 Dutton Ranch, which is a spinoff of Yellowstone. And there's a lot of legacy built into the

00:20:47.880 conversation about the name Dutton. And my question for you is, although your name might

00:20:54.320 not be Dutton or Washington or Adams or Jefferson, what are you building that will last longer than

00:21:00.440 you i don't care about the mickler empire as in i don't care if i have to be the head of it

00:21:08.680 these empires that are built around a sole individual and you see this like

00:21:12.760 the tates of the world will be dead and gone and nobody will remember their name in 50 years

00:21:18.200 they won't all of the the the men who build their movements around themselves will be replaced with

00:21:27.800 the next awesome guy who comes across their feet.

00:21:35.700 What I'm talking about is an institution.

00:21:39.580 It's a culture.

00:21:41.320 It's a set of principles.

00:21:44.120 So when we here at Order of Man establish a set of principles,

00:21:48.520 this is not called the Ryan show.

00:21:51.040 I hate this.

00:21:51.660 When you see all these shows and they're like,

00:21:53.400 the John Smith show, the Joe Jordan show.

00:21:57.800 who are you who are you really the tucker carlson the ben shapiro the matt walsh like nate they're

00:22:07.640 all built around the idea that it's an empire that i have to be the one to carry everything

00:22:14.200 but you notice this is not called the ryan mickler show it's called order of man

00:22:19.180 I care less about me being the one. And I'm just telling you, if any show is called The Person's

00:22:29.280 Name Show, take it with a grain of salt. What happens when that person dies? What happens when

00:22:34.960 that person becomes disabled? What happens when that person becomes incapacitated? What happens

00:22:40.540 when that person decides that they're going to make a bad decision? Everything else around them

00:22:45.500 falls apart, right? That's not what I'm

00:22:49.560 interested in. I want this thing to run well beyond

00:22:53.220 the grave.

00:22:56.620 So we're talking about culture, a set of principles, real

00:23:01.160 systems, and that's what keeps standing

00:23:04.540 because it was never dependent on the Joe Smith

00:23:09.020 show. Washington understood this.

00:23:13.240 He didn't make himself a king.

00:23:17.520 He believed in the American dream.

00:23:19.960 Ask yourself honestly, if you disappeared tomorrow, does what you built in your life keep functioning or does it all fall apart, break down, wither away in a row?

00:23:32.900 That's a real question.

00:23:35.480 And if you're building your life on the Ryan Mickler show, it's going to fall apart.

00:23:41.080 um i was a little sore this morning as i was driving my youngest son back to his mom's house

00:23:46.720 and i said oh man my backstory he's like what's wrong i said i'm just old i'm 45 years old and

00:23:54.020 i stay pretty active but i just said i'm just old and he's like yeah you are old dad you're gonna die

00:23:59.080 i was like what the hell and he was kind of joking and playing but also he wasn't wrong i am

00:24:05.940 and does what I taught him last beyond my grave.

00:24:13.040 All right, strategy number four.

00:24:16.780 Train yourself for patience.

00:24:20.200 This is what makes everything else I just shared with you possible.

00:24:25.060 It's practice delayed return.

00:24:29.460 You got to delay your return and you got to practice it on purpose in small ways

00:24:34.220 so that you can handle it for large ones.

00:24:36.540 So you're going to start saving money instead of spending money.

00:24:39.400 And it might be $2 or $3 or $4 because you go to the gas station.

00:24:45.000 And that might not seem like a big deal today.

00:24:46.980 $2 today is not a big deal, but $60 over a month,

00:24:51.260 or if you spend $100 a day, this is wild.

00:24:53.960 If you spend $100 a day, actually, let's back it up. 0.99

00:24:58.160 Let's say that you spend $20 a day on things that are just dumb. 0.54

00:25:03.840 that you don't need over 30 days, that's $600. That's $7,200 a year. $7,200 a year over 10 years, 0.67

00:25:13.820 that's $72,000. If we get a 7% rate of return, then that would be roughly, let's say $140,000

00:25:25.400 dollars by saving 20 a day that's what i'm talking about and we just throw away 20 like it's nothing

00:25:35.080 because it feels like nothing because somebody else built it for us 20 a day over the next 20

00:25:40.840 years turns into 150 000 come on like if you actually realize the the returns of what you

00:25:50.520 invest and save for yourself, I think we'd have a longer time horizon. So yeah, finish the last

00:26:00.300 rep that you weren't going to do. Sit in and around a hard conversation instead of numbing

00:26:07.700 yourself over it or fleeing from it. Every time that you and me choose the long road over the

00:26:15.420 short one in a very small moment, an easy moment, then we're building the capacity to do it in the

00:26:20.380 moments that actually matter. And that's the thing that guys often do is they'll say, well,

00:26:24.060 you know, if I was ever faced with this, then I would. No, you wouldn't. You would behave in

00:26:28.940 the very exact same way that you're behaving today with small little things. If you can't

00:26:33.380 take care of the small things, you'll never take care of the big things. It's those decisions that

00:26:38.120 your grandkids will benefit from and never know, frankly, the cost of what you did to handle it.

00:26:46.580 And so here's my challenge for you guys today, and I always leave these Friday Field Notes with a challenge.

00:26:54.560 This week, this weekend, as we celebrate 4th of July and our 250th anniversary of America's founding,

00:27:02.460 I want you to do one thing that has zero payoff for you personally and today.

00:27:09.400 Go plant a tree with your kids or your grandkids.

00:27:12.840 True, like literally, go plant a tree.

00:27:17.500 Write a letter for your kids to read in five or 10 years.

00:27:23.520 Make the decision in your business or your family that won't pay off for 10 years.

00:27:30.700 I made a decision 11 years ago to start Order of Man.

00:27:36.080 I didn't know what it would turn into.

00:27:37.480 I wish I would have.

00:27:38.420 I probably would have put it harder.

00:27:41.100 But I made that decision.

00:27:42.420 I actually stepped away from a six-figure income in 2014 to do this.

00:27:49.780 I sold my six-figure income so that I could do this.

00:27:56.940 Not for the immediate gratification, because certainly it was not immediate.

00:28:01.520 My ex-wife and I struggled and feared and wrestled with it for weeks, if not months.

00:28:07.500 But we did it anyways.

00:28:09.520 And look where we are.

00:28:10.840 It paid off.

00:28:12.420 do something that you know you won't be the beneficiary of our founding fathers they didn't

00:28:20.080 get to see this country that we built and i think to some degree they'd be rolling over in their

00:28:24.060 grave and in other degrees i think they'd be really excited about what we've done okay that

00:28:28.940 was never the deal for them the deal was just delay the stone build the foundation take the

00:28:34.140 risk trust that the men who come after us will keep building and that's the whole point of fourth

00:28:39.720 of July. If you strip away the fireworks, which we can't do in Southern Utah, unfortunately,

00:28:45.840 and the barbecues and the campouts and the cookouts and all the other things,

00:28:51.080 it's a monument. Fourth of July is a monument to the men who worked for shade that they would

00:28:57.640 never sit in. So I would encourage you guys, as our founding fathers did on the back of, 0.90

00:29:04.060 or the heels of or beginning of this 4th of July celebration

00:29:08.380 is to be a man that your descendants are proud to come from.

00:29:12.460 Like I want my kids and my grandkids

00:29:14.340 and great, great, great, great grandkids

00:29:16.440 to know that Mickler means something.

00:29:24.120 The name didn't necessarily mean anything

00:29:26.920 before I came along, but I can change that.

00:29:29.420 You can change your name.

00:29:30.480 there's a a great scene in a knight's tale it's one of my favorite movies it's kind of cheesy but

00:29:38.540 it's a good movie and heath ledger's character i think his name was was william was talking with

00:29:47.300 his dad and his dad was talking with him and they said william young william said can we change

00:29:53.040 our stars can we change our destiny and his father said yeah you can change your stars and then the

00:30:00.480 bold risk and assertive action and courageousness and bravery and he did he changed his stars

00:30:07.000 you can change your stars not just yours but your families your kids your grandkids your great

00:30:15.060 great grandkids and then the trajectory of this world but it's going to take you and me and guys

00:30:21.080 like us who are bought into the idea that america is special that america is unique

00:30:29.740 that what we've been able to create over 250 years is unparalleled in the history of humankind,

00:30:40.380 that we are the greatest nation to ever exist in the history of humankind.

00:30:47.340 And anybody who tells you otherwise, anybody who makes you feel less than,

00:30:51.600 Anybody who says it's not that great is a liar, is an evil, potentially, person who wants to undermine what the men before us have done.

00:31:06.660 This is the greatest nation, and it's okay to be proud of that, and it's okay to be proud of the heritage.

00:31:15.220 It's okay to be proud of being Western and embrace Christian and Anglo-Protestant ideas, Judean Christian principles.

00:31:26.160 It's okay. 0.90

00:31:27.420 In fact, not only is it okay, it's righteous.

00:31:30.520 We should embrace these things more than we have.

00:31:34.760 And for everybody else who wants to be part of this experiment, you get to participate in our experiment.

00:31:41.200 We're not participating in yours.

00:31:45.480 Think about it today, guys.

00:31:49.620 This is crucial.

00:31:51.740 This is important.

00:31:53.640 And it's important that we learn to plant our trees before we need the shade.

00:31:58.120 So I'll leave that with you today.

00:32:01.660 Think about that on our 4th of July.

00:32:04.020 Go have your beer and your barbecue and your brats and your burgers and your hot dogs and your bikinis and your fireworks and all the fun things that make Americans American.

00:32:14.480 Do it. Love it. Enjoy it. Live it up unapologetically. And also remember that there were men, 50 men, who decided that we're going to live for future generations, not just for ourselves.

00:32:28.000 And then become that man.
