00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart
00:00:05.000 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.
00:00:10.480 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who
00:00:17.240 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.840 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler.
00:00:27.440 I'm the host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here today.
00:00:32.300 I've got an important discussion for you because I've seen so many men who are struggling in their
00:00:37.460 lives. They're dealing with setbacks. They're dealing with hardships. They're dealing with
00:00:41.160 discomfort. And a lot of these guys are wanting to throw in the towel. I read that the statistics
00:00:47.280 that show that suicide rates are almost as high, if not as high as they've ever been. And a bulk,
00:00:54.360 a large majority of those committing suicide are men. Why is this? Well, there's a lot of reasons.
00:01:00.840 And what we've been talking about over the past eight and a half years now describes not only some
00:01:05.940 of the reasons men are struggling so much, but also the antidote to it. So what I want to do today
00:01:10.920 is I want to share with you five key strategies and tactics that you can employ in your own personal
00:01:15.200 life when you're dealing with setbacks. I titled this episode, You Are Not Out of the Fight.
00:01:20.580 Never Out of the Fight. Guys, you aren't out of the fight. And I know it's a fight. I know it's a
00:01:25.440 battle. I know it's a struggle. I know how many of you are dealing with hardship right now, whether
00:01:31.860 it's a separation or a divorce, bankruptcy, financial issues, medical trouble, loss of a loved one,
00:01:39.260 lawsuit, losing a job. Guys, we are dealing with some very difficult and demanding challenges.
00:01:45.960 And if you look at those challenges and they become so daunting and overwhelming
00:01:49.880 and you don't have solutions to deal with them, then it's not real hard to see why in these
00:01:57.640 circumstances, so many men are depressed, they're anxious, they're suicidal, and then eventually they
00:02:03.280 act on these things, which is never the answer. That is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
00:02:09.780 But let's help you get through these challenging times.
00:02:11.980 The first thing that I want you guys to know is that you have to know the battle that you're
00:02:18.440 fighting. I just gave you an example of what might be going down in your life. And you might
00:02:22.840 be going through a divorce. I went through a divorce earlier in the year. It's been a very painful
00:02:28.000 14 months now. And so because I talk openly about it, I know how many other men are dealing with
00:02:36.220 similar circumstances. And if we want to achieve and we want to overcome and we want to continue
00:02:41.980 to be good fathers to our children and we want to continue to improve ourselves, even though the
00:02:48.500 marriage didn't work out the way that we wanted it to or the way that we anticipated it would,
00:02:53.100 then we're going to have to know that there's a certain battle that you're going to need to fight.
00:02:56.940 And I started using this terminology eight years ago when we started the battle, right? And I even
00:03:01.500 have it in my first book, The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men. And I had a lot of people tell me,
00:03:06.080 oh, it's not a battle. You're using hyperbole. It's not that bad. No, it is. It's a battle. It's
00:03:11.580 a struggle. It's a challenge every single day. And if you're dealing with one of these hardships or any
00:03:15.660 number of hardships you could be dealing with, then you know how challenging it really is.
00:03:20.820 But the battle is not the external. It's not the surface level battle. The battle that you need to
00:03:25.340 wage and the battle that you need to fight is for your own well-being. That's your physical health.
00:03:30.260 That's your mental health, emotional, spiritual health. If you start getting lost in the weeds
00:03:36.700 and you start dealing on these surface level skirmishes and confrontations like trying to
00:03:41.300 win your wife back or trying to rebuild relationships or dealing with it on the surface level, the actual
00:03:50.100 thing in front of you, you're not dealing with the root problem, the problem that may have actually
00:03:54.840 got you into the place that you are right now. Guys, we have to look out after our own
00:03:59.860 well-being. Nobody's going to do it for us. Nobody's going to encourage us to do it.
00:04:04.860 What you're going to hear from mainstream culture and society is two things. Number one, you're not
00:04:09.460 needed as a man. We hear that all the time. It's regurgitated over and over and over again.
00:04:14.240 In Hollywood, the media, legacy media, academia, even the medical community says through the American
00:04:20.720 Psychological Association that masculinity is inherently toxic and destructive. And so we need to rid
00:04:27.280 ourselves of our natural inclinations to be aggressive or violent or dominant or exercise
00:04:33.640 stoicism. Guys, this is what we're being fed. We're being fed this nonsense that tells you out of the
00:04:39.900 gate and not just you, but your children, your sons, that they're no good. They're no good the way they
00:04:44.540 are. They need to sit down, shut up, color within the lines, do what they're told, toe the line, and act
00:04:50.060 frankly more like little girls than we would have them a desire to act more like boys and men and
00:04:56.120 teaching them how to harness masculinity. So that is one thing that we hear often in society is that
00:05:02.480 you're not needed. It's the furthest thing from the truth. You are needed. Florida is in the midst
00:05:09.600 of dealing with a hurricane right now. You know who's going to go rescue those people? You know
00:05:13.820 who's going to go save those people? You know who's going to step up? You know who's going to
00:05:17.060 donate money? You know who's going to go put themselves in harm's way? You know who's going to
00:05:20.760 take their resources, trucks, boats, vehicles, generators, and actually donate that and serve
00:05:28.380 with that, those resources they have? That's going to be the men. I'm not saying women are incapable
00:05:32.920 of doing it. Just look throughout history. I mean, we don't need to look very far to realize that in
00:05:37.360 times of crisis, people turn to the men. And in times of ease, like we have in these modern times,
00:05:42.520 we're put up on the shelf only to be tucked away and brought out when we're needed. You're always
00:05:47.440 needed. You're needed in the family. You're needed in the community. You're needed in your business.
00:05:51.760 Your leadership, your ability to protect, to provide, preside is always needed. So guys, we
00:05:57.460 need to take care of ourselves. The other thing that we hear from society is that you should not
00:06:01.740 take care of yourself. Right now, we see it a little bit in self-development spaces and places
00:06:06.420 like this with the Order of Man podcast and movement. But generally speaking, we're expected as men
00:06:11.400 just to serve. Always go out there and serve. Always go out there and take care of other people.
00:06:16.860 Always go out and sacrifice and commit and focus on providing as much value as possible. And I would
00:06:24.700 agree with that. You absolutely should. But if it comes at the expense of your own well-being,
00:06:29.720 you can only do that for so long before you burn up and you burn out and you get depressed and you
00:06:35.560 get anxious and eventually maybe even suicidal and then eventually maybe even act on those suicidal
00:06:41.260 tendencies. Guys, you have to take care of yourself. Yes, help your neighbor mow their lawn.
00:06:47.740 Yes, donate to charity. Yes, spend the weekend at the homeless shelter or give your money away to
00:06:55.420 charity. Yes, do all those things, but not at the expense of yourself. The battle is for yourself.
00:07:00.640 It's for your own well-being. If you have this beautiful piece of machinery, let's say you got
00:07:06.500 a brand new saw, state-of-the-art technology, this brand new saw, and you've got it in your shop,
00:07:12.880 what are you going to do? You're going to take care of it, right? You're going to invest in it.
00:07:16.580 You're going to make sure that after you get done using it, you either replace the saw blades or you
00:07:20.940 sharpen the saw blades. You're going to dust it off. You're going to clean it out. You're going to
00:07:25.200 make sure it's operating correctly. You're going to make sure it's being supplied to the right power
00:07:28.720 source. So there's no electronic issues. This is what you're going to do with this type of
00:07:34.440 machinery. If it's a car, if you get a brand new car, I don't care if it's an old Toyota Tacoma or
00:07:40.560 if it's some sports car, Bugatti. I'm not in the world, but the fanciest sports car that you can get.
00:07:48.060 You're going to take care of it. You're going to put the right fuel in it. You're going to get it
00:07:51.500 detailed. You're going to tell your kids not to bring their McDonald's happy meal into the car
00:07:56.560 and get all their fries and gunk and bull crap all over the place. You're going to invest in making
00:08:02.140 sure that that thing looks good and it operates the way that it should. You're going to get oil
00:08:06.100 changes. You're going to do regular maintenance on it. You're going to upgrade it with other things
00:08:10.400 that maybe you would like new wheels, new tires, different lights, like different stereo system,
00:08:15.500 sound system. You're going to, you're going to invest in it. Do you invest in yourself?
00:08:20.020 Do you go to the gym? Do you hit the gym regularly? Do you go to church or have some sort of higher
00:08:25.740 calling or higher responsibility than, than just yourself? Are you journaling? Are you reflecting?
00:08:31.520 Are you praying? Are you meditating? Are you reading good books? Are you listening to good podcasts?
00:08:35.820 Are you feeling your body correctly? Are you, are you moving? I think I already said,
00:08:39.740 are you working out? Like, these are the things that we need to do. And I know they're not always
00:08:43.060 comfortable. They're not always easy. It's not always convenient. Um, it's, it's hard at times,
00:08:49.660 but you have to do it. And you know, you know, unequivocally that you are going to feel better
00:08:54.740 if you do those things. So if you're in the midst of dealing with a divorce or the midst of overcoming
00:09:02.140 the loss of a loved one, or you just lost your job, or you're dealing with depression for any
00:09:08.000 number of reasons, then the first line of defense, and this is point number one is know what battle
00:09:13.900 you're fighting. And that battle is for your own wellbeing. Everything else we can take care of,
00:09:20.440 but first and foremost, it's a battle for your wellbeing. Number two is we need to win the
00:09:26.420 battles. Okay. I'm not talking about the war necessarily. The war is the big thing, like the
00:09:30.960 divorce or the job loss or the, whatever it might be. You need to win the battles. Those are the day-to-day
00:09:37.260 activities that take place that are seemingly insignificant. These are little skirmishes.
00:09:41.920 These are little challenges or pain points or frustrations or hiccups down the road.
00:09:46.840 Win those things. Okay. You win enough of those little battles and the war is going to be won.
00:09:52.080 All right. So if it's a, if it's a divorce, for example, some of the battle might be fighting for
00:09:57.260 your right to maintain relationship with your kids. Some of it might be taking your kids on a trip so
00:10:05.240 that you can connect more deeply with them, or maybe coaching their, their sports teams or sending
00:10:10.780 them a message today and telling them that you're thinking about them. If it's dealing with the loss
00:10:15.100 of a loved one, a small thing you might be able to do is you might be able to help somebody else
00:10:19.060 who's dealing with something very similar. That's a one way that you can win these little battles to
00:10:23.920 help you feel better about what you're currently going through because you're putting action,
00:10:29.060 you're putting ideas into action and you're moving the needle and you're beginning to feel better
00:10:34.360 about yourself. That's your wellbeing and the environment around you. Because the truth is we do want to
00:10:39.620 create value. We do want to add value into people's lives. We do want to be an asset and this is how
00:10:44.920 you do it. When these small battles, you win enough of these small battles, you're going to win the war.
00:10:50.560 But if you're so focused on the end result, the external result, like this is the end result that
00:10:55.420 I want. And you're not focused on the day-to-day, the grind, even the minutia, the challenging times
00:11:02.000 that you're dealing with, it's going to be hard to win that war. So what I would suggest to you is I
00:11:06.360 would document what I need to do on a daily basis to win. If it's trying to reconnect with my kids,
00:11:10.580 then I'm going to document what I can do specifically to ensure that they know that I love them. And I'm going
00:11:16.140 to do those things on a daily basis without fail, without hesitation. And I know that if I do those
00:11:21.860 things, the result tends to take care of itself. If I'm having some medical complications, gosh, maybe it's
00:11:29.160 as severe as some sort of a brain injury where you're learning how to walk again or talk or speak
00:11:36.380 again. Okay. That will come. But today we just need you to get out of bed today. You just need to take
00:11:41.240 one step today. You just need to stand there. Consider that a win. Alan Placer, one of my good
00:11:47.440 friends and member of our brotherhood, the iron council often talks about celebrating the small
00:11:52.840 wins. We don't need to overlook things that are seemingly insignificant and say, that's not a big
00:11:57.760 deal in the grand scheme of things. It is a big deal. And if you do those enough, you're inevitably going to
00:12:02.660 win the war. Number three is you need to engage reinforcements. Guys, you can't do it alone. I don't care
00:12:09.020 how tough you are. I don't care how strong you are. I don't care how mentally fit you are. You can't do this
00:12:15.180 alone. Let's get over that idea right now. Just bury it in the trash because that idea is nonsense. And even if you
00:12:21.720 can, you're going to exert yourself so heavily that you're wasting precious assets, resources,
00:12:27.760 and tools because you're going so hard in it that you don't have the energy or capacity to do
00:12:34.420 anything else. Guys, enlist reinforcements. What does that look like? It means getting on the phone
00:12:40.320 and calling a friend. Hey, I'm struggling with this. Can we get together? Can we go hit the driving
00:12:46.580 range? Or can we go to the shooting range? Or can we go out and grab a bite for dinner? Or can we
00:12:51.740 go to the game? Go be around other men. Find something to do. Guys are like, well, I don't
00:12:59.640 know. There's not any guys in my area. That's not true. There are. You know how I know that? Because
00:13:03.460 I get messages every day from guys who say the exact same thing. And I promise you, you guys are
00:13:08.620 probably closer in proximity than you think you are. If everybody's telling me there's no guys in my
00:13:14.460 area to connect with, and that tells me that nobody's actually actively going out there and doing
00:13:18.820 something about it. So that's on you. That goes back to your well-being. You have to enlist the
00:13:24.740 reinforcements. Nobody's going to come to your rescue and say, hey, Ryan, you know, you seem like
00:13:28.540 you're having a hard time. What can I do to help you? There might be those in your circle who will do
00:13:32.100 that. But generally speaking, not many people are going to do that. It's up to you to go out and tell a
00:13:38.420 friend, I'm struggling. Can you spend some time with me? I know that might make you feel weak
00:13:45.320 or less than. It doesn't mean that at all. Because I'll guarantee you that that individual
00:13:51.880 you reach out to has also struggled in his life. If he's not currently struggling, he might need the
00:13:57.680 exact same thing that you're requesting right now. And you two can serve each other. You can help each
00:14:02.840 other out in that way. But only if you exercise a little bit of courage to go out there and connect
00:14:09.140 with another man who you need to connect with in order to achieve what you need to achieve.
00:14:14.160 Another way to enlist reinforcements is to hire mentors, coaches, read good books, listen to
00:14:19.500 podcasts, go to events, sign up to newsletters. It's all there. And most of it is free. So if we're
00:14:26.280 complaining about no good men and no good information and nobody this and nobody that, you're lying.
00:14:32.740 At least you're being ignorant. It's all out there. It's all available. Again, nobody's going to do it
00:14:38.600 for you. This is about your battle. And it's your battle to reenlist or excuse me, to enlist
00:14:45.680 reinforcements. Number four, in defeat. And guys, there will be setbacks. Again, if you're going
00:14:53.400 through a divorce, you could have a pretty decent working relationship with your ex. And then all of a
00:14:58.680 sudden, it could go sideways for whatever reason. You could be connecting and rekindling with your kids.
00:15:04.400 And then something happens either in their life or your life. And it goes sideways. You could have
00:15:10.100 a medical condition that you're dealing with and you feel like you're on the mend and really getting
00:15:13.460 better. And then all of a sudden, an illness flares up or you get re-injured. You could lose your job
00:15:20.380 and have all sorts of prospects for a job and feel pretty comfortable with getting something lined out.
00:15:24.640 And then all of a sudden, it all comes crashing around. You could have external factors like the
00:15:28.740 response to COVID that hinder you from going out and getting a new job. You could feel like you're
00:15:33.300 finally getting on top of things financially. And then a hurricane makes landfall in Florida
00:15:37.280 and wipes out your home. These things are going to happen. I wish I could tell you it's never going
00:15:43.260 to happen. I wish I could tell you that if you do all these things, these five things I'm going to
00:15:47.240 tell you today, this magic formula that everything's going to work out perfectly. Well, we know it isn't.
00:15:52.420 So we need to anticipate. We need to be aware of that. And in defeat, and there will be some
00:15:58.940 defeats along the way in these battles, the key here is to learn the lesson. It's not to wallow in
00:16:06.980 it. It's not to cry about it. It's not to sit in it. It's not to give it more precedent than it
00:16:13.140 deserves, more weight than it really is. It's to chalk it up and say, yep, that sucked. That didn't go as
00:16:21.980 as I would have planned or I would have liked, but why? Well, I wasn't taking care of myself the way
00:16:28.360 I should. So an injury, for example, you're dealing with an injury and it starts to flare up again,
00:16:32.920 or you have another injury and you ask yourself, okay, well, what did I do here? Well, you know,
00:16:36.720 maybe you didn't go to PT, physical therapy for the last week, or you didn't do it at all.
00:16:41.940 Or if you did do it, you kind of did it half, half, half asked. Could that have something to do with
00:16:47.280 being re-injured? Probably. So what's the lesson? Go to PT. Do the prescribed movements in the
00:16:54.700 prescribed order for the prescribed amount of time so that you can actually heal. Doctors have gone
00:17:00.460 through this. They know what they're doing for the most part. They know what they're doing. They've
00:17:05.080 seen it. They've done this before. As long as you're working with somebody credible. Again, this is
00:17:08.500 an endless reinforcements conversation now, but learn what the lesson is and then change.
00:17:16.200 I'm so sick of hearing guys say, well, you know, if they don't like me and this is just the way I am,
00:17:21.260 it's not just the way you are. Okay. The way you are today has been created over 40 years,
00:17:27.640 potentially of your life. If you're telling me, well, it's just the way I am. You weren't born that
00:17:32.320 way. Sure. We're born with some predisposition for certain characteristic and personality traits,
00:17:38.760 but the way you speak, the way you communicate, how aware of yourself you are, what your worldview is,
00:17:46.880 that stuff was all learned. Most of the way that you operate has been learned. I had a really good
00:17:52.360 conversation with a good friend, John Deloney, who's coming back on the podcast to talk about
00:17:56.660 his upcoming book. And one of the things that he was saying in the interview is, as he was talking
00:18:01.260 about some of the struggles that he was dealing with, is he said, I don't have a psychology for that.
00:18:05.200 I didn't have a psychology for that. And what he meant is he did not have a map for that.
00:18:10.280 The reason that you're in the position you are right now is because of a map that you've created
00:18:14.260 or other people have created for you that you've adopted over time and played so often that now it
00:18:21.120 just feels like, well, this is just who I am. No, it isn't. It's not at all who you are.
00:18:27.840 It's who you created. It might even be who you are right now, but you're not destined to be that person.
00:18:35.200 So learn the lesson, learn the psychology, learn the map and implement a new map. If something's
00:18:41.000 not working, you need to change something. You need to change a or multiple variables. And as soon
00:18:45.580 as you do that, you're going to produce a different outcome. I remember years ago, I had sleep apnea
00:18:51.000 and restless leg syndrome. So bad that as my legs would twitch and move throughout the night,
00:18:56.100 as often as they would, I would wear holes in my sheets. And people said, oh, well, you need a CPAP
00:19:01.980 and you need to do this and you need to do that. And the first thing I did is I thought to myself,
00:19:05.260 well, what if I lost 30 pounds? What would that look like? And that's what I did. I lost 30 pounds,
00:19:10.980 40 pounds. Eventually I lost 50 pounds and lo and behold, restless leg syndrome went away. I was able
00:19:16.860 to sleep, sleep, sleep, excuse me, sleep apnea went away. I was able to sleep. Now I know guys are
00:19:21.500 going to be like, well, it's not every situation. I'm not saying every situation. Okay. If there's like an
00:19:25.660 actual medical condition, sure. Get some help, get the CPAP. I'm not putting you down. If that's the case,
00:19:30.460 what I'm saying is that I created a new way of living, which produced different results.
00:19:37.420 Your results may vary. I'm not a medical doctor and I'm not giving you medical advice. I'm just
00:19:41.120 telling you an example as to doing different things yields different results in your life.
00:19:47.280 Okay. If you're spending a bunch of time on YouTube, watching nonsense or jacking off to pornography all
00:19:52.800 the time, and you change from doing that to watching educational, motivational, inspirational
00:19:59.520 videos on YouTube. And instead of jacking off to porn all the time, you begin to read books
00:20:03.320 that are uplifting, edifying, supporting educational. Is it any surprise that your life is going to be
00:20:09.020 better? Of course it's going to be better. So create a new psychology, create new maps and learn the
00:20:14.980 lessons that need to be learned. Last thing guys, I would tell you, dig in, dig in. This is going to be
00:20:21.600 a long campaign. Depending on the severity of what you're dealing with, things like this, divorces,
00:20:29.400 job loss, overcoming the loss of a loved one, dealing with your own personal hardships, any
00:20:34.320 number of things. They're not easy solutions. It's not like do these five things and then tomorrow
00:20:38.640 you'll be feeling better. You may not. You may not be feeling better next month. You may not feel
00:20:42.780 better next year. I don't know. But what I do know is that if we put ourselves in the position where
00:20:47.600 we're trenched in and we dig in and we fortify our position and we begin to win these small battles
00:20:53.720 and we know that this is going to be a long battle, this is going to be a long road, we give ourselves
00:20:59.120 a greater chance for success. In the movie A-Team, and I'm going to paraphrase here, Hannibal says,
00:21:06.440 if you give me a week, I'm good. Give me a month and I'm great. Give me six months and I'm unbeatable.
00:21:13.680 This is what I'm talking about. If we think that our problems are going to go away just because we
00:21:18.860 changed today, you're going to throw in the towel way too soon. This isn't working. What Ryan said
00:21:24.880 is bullshit. I don't believe in this. I don't buy into this. And you may not even vocalize it,
00:21:28.660 but subconsciously that's what you're telling yourself. If on the other hand, you have a
00:21:32.760 realistic expectation that I'm in this game forever. I've planted my flag. For example, if you're trying
00:21:39.140 to work to rebuild relationships with your kids and you say, well, I'm going to do these things.
00:21:43.240 And if they respond, then, you know, I know it's working. They may not respond right away the way
00:21:47.600 that you like to your liking. So what do you do? You throw in the towel? No, of course you don't
00:21:51.800 throw in the towel. What you do is you plant your flag and you say, I'm going to be this type of
00:21:56.480 father, whether they respond or not, whether it takes one day, one week, one month, one year,
00:22:02.780 or the next 20 years, this is what I'm going to do because this is what a good father would do.
00:22:09.440 And we plant our flag and we do our work. And then we let the results play out, whether it's
00:22:16.020 immediately or if it takes decades to achieve what you want to achieve. It doesn't matter.
00:22:21.600 You're not going anywhere. You're in this game forever. Guys, I hope that serves you.
00:22:27.480 You're never out of the fight. When you're dead, you are, I suppose. But up until that point,
00:22:32.600 as long as that air is still pumping through your lungs and blood's coursing through your veins,
00:22:37.480 you're still in the fight. Don't you take yourself out of it? Don't you give up? Don't
00:22:42.840 you surrender? Don't you let the adversary win? You win. And the best way that we can do that is
00:22:49.920 to follow these five principles. Number one, know what battle you're fighting. That's your own
00:22:53.460 well-being. That's number one. Number two is win the battles, win the skirmishes, win the small things
00:22:59.380 and celebrate those things. Number three, engage reinforcements, credible reinforcements,
00:23:05.040 friends around you. Get to work on doing that. Number four, in defeat, learn the lesson.
00:23:10.340 And number five, dig in. We're playing the long game here. All right, guys. I hope that serves you.
00:23:15.640 I hope that helps you. If it does, please send me a message on Instagram at Ryan Michler or an email
