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.
00:00:10.440 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,
00:00:22.800 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Nickler,
00:00:27.420 and I am the host and the founder of this podcast, The Order of Man, and also the movement
00:00:31.900 that is Order of Man. The movement to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that is
00:00:37.820 increasingly dismissive of what it means to be a man. Everywhere we turn, it's undermined,
00:00:43.380 it's mocked, it's ridiculed, it's belittled, and it's been attempted to be redefined. But
00:00:49.120 my objective is not to redefine masculinity. It's to reclaim and restore masculinity to
00:00:55.240 its rightful place in society and help us step up. Each and every one of us as men
00:00:59.060 in every capacity in which we operate, whether it's a father, a husband, a business owner,
00:01:04.660 a community leader, a friend, a brother, a colleague, a coach, a mentor, I don't know,
00:01:09.640 whatever it looks like for you, I want to give you the tools and the guidance and the direction
00:01:12.920 and the resources and everything else that you might need to step up more fully in this role and
00:01:17.280 in this life and into the calling of man. So with that said, today you're listening to your
00:01:22.680 Friday field notes. This is my thoughts from throughout the week. We've also got our interview
00:01:27.000 show, which is released every Wednesday where we are fielding questions from the order and also from
00:01:33.760 our exclusive brotherhood, the iron council, which if you're interested in banding with us,
00:01:37.720 you can check out at order of man.com slash iron council. And then we've got our interview show.
00:01:43.180 I'm interviewing some incredible, incredible men, David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Grant Cardone,
00:01:49.080 Andy Frisilla, Tim Kennedy, Dakota Meyer. I mean, you can go back and look and see that we've had
00:01:54.680 some absolutely incredible, incredible human beings on the podcast. And it's my goal to
00:01:59.420 distill some of their information and knowledge and experience down to practical tips to help you
00:02:05.120 excel again as a, as a man. So with that said, let's just jump right into the Friday field notes.
00:02:10.520 Don't have a whole lot of announcements. We're in transition right now. You guys know that probably
00:02:13.800 if you've been listening for any amount of time. So we are in limbo as far as announcements and
00:02:19.280 activities and events. I will say that we're going to have something the end of July to middle of
00:02:25.720 August. As soon as I get to Maine, I'm going to give you the dates and we're going to put together
00:02:29.900 something very, very special. So I want to make sure to have you out there. So if you're not
00:02:33.780 subscribed, make sure you subscribe because I'm going to announce that here in the podcast. And I
00:02:38.020 don't want you to miss that. All right. That's the only announcement. Now let's get into this
00:02:42.440 discussion. As I was thinking about what I wanted to talk with you about this morning,
00:02:45.940 I was poking around on social media and poking around in the news and the media and everything
00:02:49.580 else. And I'm seeing this disturbing trend. And I think you guys probably have recognized it as
00:02:54.780 well. And it's this, it's this race to the bottom, this pathetic attempt to make ourselves the victim
00:03:02.700 of every circumstance and every interaction and every person and every government and every
00:03:07.280 institution and our old employer and our old girlfriend or whoever, or our parents or our
00:03:13.500 upbringing or the president or the economy. And we make ourselves the victim of these circumstances.
00:03:21.260 And what we end up doing is undermining our own ability to improve and thrive and grow and expand
00:03:29.740 and excel and really be all that we're capable of being. I cannot understand for the life of me
00:03:36.920 why so many men feel like they want to play the victim, feel like that somehow there's,
00:03:44.020 there's virtue in it, that it's virtuous to be the victim. And it's not all of us have been a victim
00:03:50.800 probably at some point. I'm going to talk a little bit about that, how you can overcome that,
00:03:54.440 but being a victim in and of itself is not virtuous, overcoming challenge and overcoming trial
00:04:02.440 and obstacles and hurdles and barriers and the things that get in our way. That is virtuous because
00:04:09.040 that requires commitment and sacrifice and dedication and all of the things that you as a man are trying
00:04:16.620 to improve upon in your life. So we're racing to the bottom. We're not acting virtuously.
00:04:23.040 We're, it's the antithesis of virtue. You should be climbing out of the hole that you have found
00:04:28.800 yourself in and maybe more accurately dug yourself into. It's your responsibility to dig yourself out.
00:04:37.420 You got yourself there. Now dig yourself out. That is virtuous. And not only is it virtuous,
00:04:43.520 it's going to help you accomplish what you want to accomplish. Because as you're crawling your way
00:04:49.500 out of the hole, out of the pit of despair that you found yourself in, you're going to develop
00:04:53.860 some mental fortitude. You're going to develop some emotional resiliency. You're going to develop
00:05:01.120 some, some physical strength, some hard skills, also some soft skills that are going to help you
00:05:08.260 salvage the relationship with your wife. They're going to help you excel in your career or launch
00:05:14.460 that business of your own. They're going to help you connect with your kids. They're going to help
00:05:18.520 you lose weight. They're going to help you achieve your greatest ambitions and desires. And if we
00:05:25.320 continue down this pathetic, pathetic trend of racing to the bottom of the barrel, we will find
00:05:35.400 ourselves wanting in life. We will be unsatisfied. We will be resentful and bitter and have animosity
00:05:45.560 towards other individuals and institutions and the government and frankly ourselves, which will lead
00:05:51.260 us into a spiral of depression and potentially even suicidal thoughts. So guys, we can do better
00:05:59.800 than this. We have to do better than this for ourselves. And we also have to encourage others
00:06:04.680 to hold themselves accountable, to take some responsibility in their lives for what they've
00:06:10.600 created themselves. Now I'm not so ignorant or delusional to believe that some people haven't
00:06:17.040 been dealt a bad hand. Certainly we all have in a way, we all have our own trials and obstacles and
00:06:24.680 setbacks and failures that we need to overcome. And we can, some of that we've created ourselves
00:06:30.360 and others. It's, it's the hand that we've been dealt and we have to learn to overcome these things.
00:06:36.840 And that's specifically what I want to talk with you about, because I don't want to see any more men
00:06:40.920 in society be a victim and pretend like they're a victim, I should say, and really throw themselves
00:06:48.640 at the mercy of some external source. And that is the problem with playing the victim. We might get
00:06:55.560 some temporary accolades from other individuals who would encourage us to be victims, but you've got
00:07:00.660 to ask yourself why, why are these people encouraging you to be a victim? Well, I think for a couple of
00:07:07.380 different reasons. Number one, you're more easily manipulated when you are weak and cowardly and
00:07:12.800 pathetic and subservient to some other individual or organization or institution. So we are encouraged
00:07:20.360 to be victims. We are encouraged to be weak so we can be a pawn in other people's or other
00:07:28.180 organizations lives. I don't know about you, but I'm interested in being a sovereign man, somebody
00:07:34.940 who's bold and strong and capable and actually virtuous somebody who is not beholden to another
00:07:43.600 financial institution or an employer or another individual or the outside economy or any external
00:07:51.100 source only beholden to me because I set the standard for myself. So the question is,
00:07:58.060 how do we do this? How do we become less victimized? How do we step into the role of
00:08:05.140 victor, if you will, rather than victim? I've got five things I want to talk with you about here
00:08:10.020 with exactly how to do that. And I want to share a couple of little insights here. As I was thinking
00:08:15.080 about this, one person that came to mind in particular, as I was thinking about who is not
00:08:20.600 a victim and where I learned to overcome some tremendous odds is my mother. And guys, I know you
00:08:26.020 probably have similar experiences with parents or grandparents or friends or people that you look
00:08:31.480 up to, but this woman is one of the most talented, strongest, hardworking, dedicated, committed
00:08:39.880 people that I know. And it would be easy for her through her upbringing or through her unfortunate
00:08:49.180 series of events with regards to her husband and stepfathers that came into my life for her to feel
00:08:55.360 like she was the victim. She could have accepted handouts and she could have looked for opportunities
00:09:00.360 for other people to give her things that she didn't earn on her own, but she was committed to providing
00:09:06.400 her own path and her own way and doing that for us. And through that, she taught us a great lesson
00:09:12.360 that it's nobody else's responsibility to handle your stuff. And this is where a lot of men get hung
00:09:19.620 up. For some reason, a lot of guys believe, for example, that it's their wife's job to make sure
00:09:25.680 they're happier, fulfilled, or that it's their employer's job to make sure they have meaningful
00:09:30.960 employment, or it's the government's job to provide benefits that will pay for health costs or minimum
00:09:39.820 wage requirements so that they can have a standard of living. What a pathetic way to live. I realize
00:09:46.000 we all are in different situations at different times and there are seasons to our life. And
00:09:49.700 sometimes we trip and stumble and there's certainly a place for these things. But if you are perpetually
00:09:54.220 living off of what other people are giving to you, because you feel like you've been handed some
00:09:59.140 sort of injustice, you are living less capable than you can. You are settling. You are living in
00:10:07.920 mediocrity and complacency. I don't want to live that way, which means that I'm going to have to
00:10:13.140 sacrifice and I'm going to have to be committed and I'm going to have to be dedicated and I'm going
00:10:17.660 to have to get beat up. And I'm going to have to, as Theodore Roosevelt says, get myself in the arena
00:10:22.480 and get in the game and get in the fight and get marred by the blood and the sweat and the dust.
00:10:29.560 That's our job as men. So how do we do this? All right, let's break this down. Number one, guys,
00:10:33.720 you got to let your excuses expire. You have to let them expire. A lot of, you know, my story
00:10:38.980 because I've shared it here in the podcast and other places, but I grew up without a father in
00:10:43.160 my life. My dad was out of the picture by the time I was three years old. There was glimpses and
00:10:47.900 moments of a father son relationship. I'd go see him in our summer break and we played Legos and
00:10:54.540 he'd cook for us and we had glimpses, but ultimately he wasn't in my life. I had a stepfather come into my
00:11:02.940 life when I was eight, nine years old and another opportunity for glimpses. We would do Pinewood
00:11:09.540 Derby cars together. We'd go to sprint car races and we had such a great time, but ultimately he was
00:11:14.560 an alcoholic. So he just, he, he wasn't there. He wasn't present. He wasn't available the way a
00:11:21.420 father should be. Then I had another stepfather come into my life who was very, very talented and
00:11:27.020 taught me a lot about business and mental toughness, taught me a lot about sports, which I attribute a
00:11:32.920 lot of my success to, but ultimately he was verbally and emotionally abusive. Most of that was directed
00:11:40.860 at my mom and my sister. These were the examples I had of what it meant to be a man. 10 years ago,
00:11:47.360 I go through a separation with my wife. And as I'm going through that separation with my wife,
00:11:52.320 I blamed a lot of it on her initially. And sure, she had a part to play, but I didn't accept
00:11:57.660 responsibility for myself. And I also caught myself saying, because she left with my one-year-old son,
00:12:02.460 I caught myself saying, well, I didn't have a dad. I didn't have a role model. I didn't have an
00:12:09.980 example to model in my youth. And that's why I'm in this situation. What complete BS. Did that play
00:12:19.100 a factor? Absolutely. But I'm a grown ass man who's looking back on his childhood and blaming things that
00:12:27.140 were beyond my control on other people and other circumstances. When at the time I was fully
00:12:33.260 capable of making my own decisions and carving my own path. And yet I felt like it was somebody else's
00:12:40.980 fault. Guys, we're all dealt. And I said this earlier, all of us have been dealt a hand, some
00:12:46.560 better or worse than others, but there's nothing you can do about it. And even if you do have a bad
00:12:52.400 hand or go through a bad experience or go through something that wasn't your fault, you've got to
00:12:57.360 let that stuff expire. Now, I don't know what the expiration date is, but I'd tell you is that when
00:13:01.960 you're capable of making your own decisions and carving your own path and behaving in the way that
00:13:06.620 you want to, when you have some autonomy and you have some sovereignty over your own life, that's when
00:13:11.600 your excuses expire. So stop drawing on what happened five or 10 or 15 or 30 years ago.
00:13:18.460 Realize that what happened, happened, figure out a way to learn and grow and expand from it and write
00:13:24.760 that off as a lesson and nothing more, not an excuse, but a lesson in how not to show up,
00:13:30.640 how not to perform, and then do it in a way that will help you thrive and excel moving forward.
00:13:35.780 That's number one. Number two, realize that you are a product of your choices. That is it.
00:13:42.320 Not a product of your environment, not a product of your thoughts, not a product of your desires,
00:13:50.040 but a product of your choices. It's what you do that defines you as a man. It's not necessarily
00:13:56.940 your anatomy. Your anatomy makes you male, but not a man. It's not what you really, really want
00:14:01.680 really, really bad. It's what you do. And if you found yourself in a situation where maybe your
00:14:08.260 your marriage is on the rocks, maybe you're not excelling in your career as much as you'd like,
00:14:14.160 maybe there's some alienation or some distance mentally and emotionally between you and your
00:14:19.420 children. Maybe you're 50 pounds overweight and you're running against some medical conditions.
00:14:25.640 That's your fault. That's your fault. I know that's not comfortable, but reality is very rarely
00:14:34.020 comfortable. And if you really want to grow, and I think you do, because you wouldn't be listening
00:14:38.060 to this podcast, if that wasn't the case, then you've got to look in the mirror and all of your
00:14:43.960 circumstances and say, I created this. I created this. Now, some people will hear that and think
00:14:53.500 that's discouraging. And it might be, especially if you found yourself in a position you don't want to
00:14:58.500 be in. But I would say you can take hope in that thought, because if you created the environment you're
00:15:04.280 in right now, guess what else you can create? A new reality, a new way of living, a new way of
00:15:11.320 thinking, and ultimately new choices and new behaviors and new actions, which will inevitably
00:15:16.940 produce a different result. But you can't produce something different if you don't know what created
00:15:23.980 the environment and the circumstance in which you find yourself in the first place. You did it.
00:15:29.560 Yes. You had some outside help. Yes. There were some things that influenced those choices and
00:15:37.160 decisions, but that's why I put that your excuses expire as number one, because they do. And now that
00:15:43.700 you're a man and you're an adult and you're capable of making your own choices, you have a responsibility
00:15:49.560 and obligation to do so. Otherwise you forfeit your right to complain about how shitty your life is.
00:15:56.740 If you're going to complain about how rough your life is and how you're not making money and your
00:16:02.480 marriage is falling apart and your kids don't respect you and your boss isn't giving you a raise,
00:16:06.460 then fix that shit. Fix it. Find other men who are excelling, who are thriving, who are succeeding,
00:16:12.240 who are doing things that you want to do. Reach out to them, connect with them, model their behavior,
00:16:17.680 be influenced positively by them and start making some different choices in your life. But it requires,
00:16:23.060 as I said, point number two, for you to realize that you're simply a product of your choices.
00:16:27.680 People will say, Oh, I'm a product of my environment. Well, you put yourself in that
00:16:30.380 environment, put yourself in a new environment, mentally, physically, emotionally, relationally,
00:16:37.700 spiritually, put yourself in a new environment, make new choices, and you will yield different
00:16:43.500 results. That's point number two. Point number three, we got to stop living this substandard life.
00:16:48.820 All right. You're expected and encouraged to be mediocre, to be average. When I went to basic
00:17:00.800 training in, I believe it was in 1999, I went to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. If you're an artillery guy,
00:17:08.420 give me a shout out. Went to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Before I went to basic training, I was fortunate enough
00:17:16.500 because I was in the national guard to be able to drill with, with my unit in Cedar city, Utah.
00:17:22.060 And as I drilled, I had some, some of the section chiefs and the sergeants telling me
00:17:26.860 how to navigate successfully basic training. And one of the things they said is they said,
00:17:32.220 just blend in, just blend in. That's what you want you to do. You just blend in. You don't stick
00:17:36.820 out for doing well. You don't fall behind. You just run with the middle of the pack. Now I understand
00:17:41.000 what they're saying. I get it. You don't want to stand out necessarily for the wrong reasons,
00:17:46.400 but at the same time, what a horrible way to live. What a pathetic way to live. What a substandard
00:17:53.300 way to live. Why would I hold back? Why would I deliberately and intentionally make myself
00:18:00.040 less capable than I'm really capable of being simply because I don't want to stand out. And what's
00:18:07.580 the problem with standing out? Anyways, you, what you make other people feel uncomfortable.
00:18:12.780 That's why people want you to blend in. They don't want you to excel. It's that crab in the
00:18:17.960 bucket metaphor where the crabs start crawling on each other. And one's about to get up and the
00:18:22.020 other one reaches up and pulls its leg down and brings it back into the bucket guys. Don't live
00:18:26.500 a substandard life. I'll give you another little story here. Uh, we were, we're wrapping up our
00:18:31.600 baseball season for my two oldest boys. And I was coaching first base for my, uh, for my oldest son.
00:18:37.920 And the first baseman of the other team is a very, very good athlete. And he's a kid that we had on
00:18:43.340 the team last year. And I said to him, Hey, um, I need you to play 80% today. Just joking with him.
00:18:48.940 I need you to play 80% today. And he looks at me right in the eye, dead serious. This is 11 year old
00:18:54.520 boy, dead serious, right into my eyes. And he says, I don't play at 80%. I played a hundred percent.
00:19:02.160 And I, man, that stung that had so much impact from an 11 year old boy who realizes that he doesn't
00:19:11.000 lower the standard so that other people feel more comfortable about their own miserable existence.
00:19:18.200 I play my life for me. You should be playing your life for you. If you're lowering the bar to make
00:19:25.980 other people feel comfortable or for you to blend in so you don't stand out, what are you leaving on
00:19:31.940 the table? What are you teaching your kids? What type of marriage are you going to have? If you're
00:19:36.680 playing weak, what type of, of business? How's your relationship with your clients? If you're living
00:19:43.620 for other people, that's point number three, it's easy. It's expected. It's encouraged in a lot of
00:19:49.600 ways. Don't fall prey to living by somebody else's standard. Raise the bar, elevate yourself, make
00:19:55.680 yourself more capable. And as that young man told me, play it a hundred percent, not 80 because somebody
00:20:01.380 else feels threatened by who you are and what you're capable of doing. Number four, after action
00:20:07.060 review guys, I know I've talked about this. It's like beating a dead horse here. You've got to do
00:20:11.540 your after action reviews because when you do an after action review, and I'll explain this here in
00:20:16.380 a minute for those of you who may not have heard it. When you do the after action review, you're
00:20:22.040 going to see objectively where you fall. You're going to see what you've done well, what you haven't done
00:20:26.800 well, what you got done, what you didn't get done. And most importantly, what you're going to do moving
00:20:31.980 forward, what you're going to do next time in order to ensure that you put yourself in a better
00:20:38.160 situation. The after action review is five simple questions. Number one, what did I accomplish?
00:20:44.820 Number two, what did I not accomplish? I set out to do something. I didn't get it done.
00:20:49.220 That's what I didn't accomplish. Number three, what did I do? Well, where did you thrive?
00:20:54.000 What skillset did you develop? What did you harness or implement that helped you accomplish what you
00:21:00.420 did? Number four, what did I not do so well? What are your weaknesses? What do you need to shore up?
00:21:06.260 Where do you need to improve? Be real about this. Be truthful about this. And number five, what am I
00:21:11.560 going to do well moving forward? Take these questions to heart, write them down, document them,
00:21:18.560 go through the after action review after every engagement, encounter, conversation, podcast, task,
00:21:25.460 project, whatever day, and get those done because that's going to give you an objective analysis or
00:21:31.780 observation or look into how you're showing up and how you're performing. This is how you strip away
00:21:37.620 the victimhood mentality. You take it upon your shoulders by asking yourself, what can you do to
00:21:43.080 fix it to be better moving forward? Which leads me into point number five. And this is the one I want
00:21:47.920 to wrap up with today. It's, it's a very stoic thought. And that thought is focus on the controllable
00:21:56.000 focus on the controllable. There are all sorts of variables and all sorts of little activities and
00:22:02.800 circumstances and conversations and people and interactions that happen on a daily basis that are
00:22:08.480 completely beyond your control. And what we've been conditioned to do is to focus on the most trivial
00:22:15.840 of nonsense and get hung up and get hung up on things that don't apply and things that we can't
00:22:23.420 change. Let that stuff go. It's difficult because you don't always like the way things turn out.
00:22:31.480 It is difficult to let go. But if you can realize that what you might be dealing with is beyond your
00:22:37.100 control and let that slide off your back. For example, controlling other individuals. I can't tell
00:22:43.000 you how many questions and emails and texts and conversations I get from people who say, how can I
00:22:48.140 change my wife? How can I get my boss to do this? My kids don't respect me. How do I get them to
00:22:54.720 respect me? Or how do I motivate them? Guys, that's uncontrollable. You can influence it, but you can't
00:23:02.280 control it. You don't get to dictate what other people do. You want to change behavior in other
00:23:07.960 people, turn it around and change behavior in yourself. Because when you do that, you're now focusing
00:23:14.400 on the controllable. The things that are within your power to influence, to wield as a tool, as a
00:23:20.640 weapon in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish. So go into the gym, be a man of your
00:23:27.480 word, eat right, exercise, learn how to communicate, learn how to cast vision, develop a skill set, pick up
00:23:36.920 a new hobby. And generally, like I've said before, make yourself a project. Make yourself a project.
00:23:43.440 When you say, how can I get my wife to do blank, fill in the blank, ask yourself, what can I do
00:23:49.100 to be more influential so that she will want to do that voluntarily? How can I get my boss to respect
00:23:57.520 me? You can be more respectable. How can I get my kids to, to, to listen to me? You can be worth
00:24:05.400 listening to. How can I get my wife's support on this new business venture? You can prove that
00:24:11.400 you're worthy of the support. You don't change other people directly. I should say, you can
00:24:18.480 indirectly change them through influence by becoming more influential. And when you focus
00:24:24.620 on the controllable, like yourself, these other little pieces of the puzzle start to line up.
00:24:30.820 It's not complicated guys. It's not complex. It's also not easy. It takes work and it takes effort.
00:24:37.480 And it takes years and years of trying and failing and moving forward and stepping back and messing up
00:24:44.240 and having to apologize, but you can do it. We can change. We can improve ourselves. We can make
00:24:52.800 ourselves more capable. We can reject and be repulsed by the idea that somehow being a victim
00:25:00.960 in society is what we should all strive to be. I don't want to be a victim. It's easy. It's really
00:25:08.520 easy. It's the path of least resistance. People are encouraging us to do it, but reject it, dismiss it.
00:25:16.800 You want something better in your life? You've got to dismiss the idea that somehow somebody or
00:25:21.980 something did something to you. And the reason that you're where you're at is because it's somebody
00:25:25.660 or someone else's fault. It's not. It's yours. It's not meant to be discouraging. It's meant to
00:25:31.440 be hopeful because as I said earlier, if it's your fault and you put yourself in this situation and you
00:25:36.000 did, then you're fully capable of crawling yourself out. And that's what I want to see. And that's what
00:25:43.220 I do see. I'll say this as I part today. I see you guys crawling your way out of the despair
00:25:50.560 in the pit that you dug for yourself. I see this every day on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter
00:25:56.620 and everywhere else that you guys are tagging me. I see what you're capable of. I'm inspired by the
00:26:03.000 stories of redemption of you fixing things that you've messed up. It's pretty inspiring to watch
00:26:11.240 and see and to hear. And it helps me step up more fully in my life as well. And I want to thank you
00:26:18.520 for that. So on that note, guys, make sure you tag me. If you've got a story to share or you've
00:26:24.620 redeemed yourself to some degree, or you're climbing out of this pit of despair, or you're learning to
00:26:30.180 take the responsibility and accountability upon your shoulders, which is where it lies, not anybody
00:26:35.620 else's tag me and let me know what's happening. Let me know about your progress in the gym. Let me
00:26:41.280 know about the new hobby you picked up. Let me know about how you, how you rekindle the relationship
00:26:46.300 with your wife. Let me know about that new connection with your son or daughter. These are
00:26:50.820 the stories I want to hear about. These are the stories I'm influenced by. And of course the stories
00:26:54.820 that other men are influenced by as well. So guys, I'll leave you there. There is no virtue in victimhood
00:27:00.680 become the victor, become the champion, the hero of your own journey. If you will, I know you can do it.
00:27:07.200 I'm proud and honored to be standing shoulder to shoulder in the battle to reclaim our sovereignty
00:27:11.360 and step away from and be disgusted and repulsed by the idea of victimhood. All right, guys, go out
00:27:17.600 there, take action, become the man you are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the Order of Man
00:27:22.600 podcast. If you're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant to be,
