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
00:00:17.220 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.800 you can call yourself a man. Okay, what's going on, man? Not much. It's an early morning for us.
00:00:29.560 For the YouTubers, they'll be like, what's going on with these guys' cameras? A little dark.
00:00:34.520 Yeah, it's a little darker than normal. It's amazing to me how dark it gets so early. I think
00:00:38.940 my wife and I and kids were out yesterday at around 4.30, and it was starting to get dark.
00:00:45.760 It gets dark early up here. Yeah, you might as well be moved to Alaska or something.
00:00:50.980 Yeah, the last outpost, essentially. When we were here last year, we came out in December of last year,
00:00:59.560 my wife and I. It was our first visit to Maine. It was my second visit to Maine, and that's when
00:01:03.620 we put an offer in on our property. I had met with Travis Mills, who I had on the podcast.
00:01:10.620 Yeah.
00:01:11.340 We went in there. It must have been 1 o'clock or so, somewhere in there. We came out at 4,
00:01:18.520 4.30, and it was pitch black by that time. It's going to continue to get darker earlier,
00:01:25.140 and that's an adjustment. We just had our first snowfall. My kids were funny because
00:01:29.380 they actually liked shoveling snow last night. I'm like, man, I better enjoy this while I can
00:01:35.800 because it won't be long before this just wears out and is not a fun thing for them at all.
00:01:41.120 Yeah, two weeks later.
00:01:42.560 I don't even know if they'll make it that long, but we'll see. Right now, I'm enjoying the fact
00:01:47.300 that they don't mind pushing snow off the deck and off the driveway and stairs, so we'll take
00:01:51.560 advantage of it while we can.
00:01:53.020 That's funny.
00:01:54.360 Yeah. I see you've got your puffy coat on there. It must be cold up there in Salt Lake, too.
00:01:59.700 I am actually in Nashville.
00:02:02.420 Oh, you are?
00:02:03.060 Last night, yeah. I'm only an hour away from you now.
00:02:07.040 Yeah. Yeah, it's freezing. It's actually really cold. It snowed last night, and then the roads
00:02:12.980 are all icy or whatever. Talking about the way things look, so I may wince a little bit. I popped
00:02:20.200 a rib out last week, and so you can't be as funny as you normally are, Ryan, because laughing hurts.
00:02:28.420 I'll try to refrain from telling jokes and making you laugh too hard.
00:02:32.060 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:32.760 That's what everybody knows me for.
00:02:34.040 Sure. Maybe try to be a little bit more serious and straightforward and joking around.
00:02:39.080 Fair enough. Fair enough. Well, hey, man, I know you're on a time crunch here and a deadline,
00:02:45.020 so let's just jump into it as quickly as we can. I know we've got a lot of questions from our
00:02:49.180 Facebook group, and we want to answer those to the best of our ability and get to as many as possible.
00:02:54.180 So, guys, if you're listening for the first time, that's exactly what we're doing. We're fielding
00:02:58.440 questions from you. It's our goal to give you the best answers that we can, make up what we need to,
00:03:04.580 and that's a joke, by the way, Kit. You're supposed to laugh at that one.
00:03:07.900 I'm not laughing. I told you. I have a hurt rib, so.
00:03:11.200 And if we don't know the answer, in all seriousness, if we don't know the answer,
00:03:15.220 we'll let you know we don't know the answer. We don't have this all figured out. We're on the path
00:03:18.300 the same as you. So let's get after it this morning.
00:03:21.400 I love it. All right. So these guys are from Facebook. To join us there, facebook.com slash group
00:03:26.940 slash order of man. Our first question, Brandon stole. Have you ever thought about do, and I
00:03:33.300 laughed at this at first when I first read it. Have you ever thought about doing a video podcast?
00:03:37.160 And I'm thinking, um, we thought about it once and then we nixed it and yeah. Yeah. And we're on
00:03:42.300 YouTube. However, he's talking about a different technology says, I know there are YouTube channels,
00:03:46.860 but it would be nice to watch the video on the Apple podcast app. So maybe there's a little bit
00:03:53.440 of a, something different. Maybe I don't podcast. Yeah. Uh, I think there is quite honestly,
00:03:58.680 I don't know enough about it to give you an intelligent answer on that, but yeah, I think
00:04:03.660 there are video podcasts via Apple. Uh, so maybe that's something that we'll look into,
00:04:07.300 but as of right now, audio on Apple and other iTunes or excuse me, uh, podcasting platforms
00:04:12.840 and then video via YouTube. So make sure you subscribe to YouTube. We're at 80, I want to
00:04:18.780 say 89,000 subscribers right now. They're just under 90,000. It's crazy. It's, it's been blowing
00:04:24.240 up. It's awesome. Yeah. I hit refresh every about five minutes and I think it was 89, just,
00:04:28.780 you know, four minutes ago. Thank you. Thank you. So it must be 89,001 right now. Yeah.
00:04:34.720 Yeah. Anyways, guys go subscribe over there. YouTube.com slash order of man. If you want
00:04:38.600 to watch the video, that's where it is for now, but potentially, uh, we'll look into a video on
00:04:43.960 Apple, uh, podcast. Okay. Tyler cross, what capacity do you serve in the community or local
00:04:50.640 organizations? Uh, I have actually not done a whole lot, frankly speaking, within our community
00:04:56.580 up to this point, uh, with me just getting settled in, in the past, I was very, very involved
00:05:01.100 with some young men through our church. Uh, and, and I was involved with the, uh, 14 to
00:05:06.480 16 year old boys, uh, in our, in our area. And I loved it. I really, really enjoyed doing
00:05:12.900 that. Um, it was fulfilling for me. I felt like it was good for them. It was rewarding
00:05:17.340 and uplifting. And I felt, and it was very much in alignment with what we're doing here
00:05:21.140 with order of man. So I enjoyed that. I see myself getting involved in that again. I also
00:05:26.560 see myself getting involved in, uh, coaching sports again. I didn't coach my oldest son's
00:05:32.160 football team. They had everything lined out and set up. So, um, I let that take care of
00:05:36.660 itself. Of course, I went to every game. I think I did miss one, which I wasn't happy
00:05:40.100 about. Uh, but yeah, that's, that's where we'll go. I don't, somebody was asking me the
00:05:44.820 other day about politics and local politics, and I try to keep my thumb on the pulse. Although
00:05:50.720 I'm not real excited about getting into any sort of politics, even at the city council
00:05:56.300 level all the way up, it's just, it's just nasty. Uh, I don't, I don't want to pretend
00:06:01.280 that I like people. I'm not really interested in playing that game. Uh, it's just doesn't
00:06:06.380 seem like something that's very exciting to me. And I feel like I can have a greater impact
00:06:09.800 via this movement and, uh, coaching and being involved that way. Yeah. Are you going to coach
00:06:15.320 baseball in the spring? Probably. Yeah. I would like to. Uh, I think, I think my will
00:06:20.520 house would be football and baseball. Uh, I, I didn't play basketball. I got cut from
00:06:24.740 my basketball team when I was a freshman. So I don't really know much about that at
00:06:28.260 all. I, I actually, I've been thinking about wanting to get a jujitsu class together for
00:06:33.460 kids in the community, but I don't know, maybe you have some insight on this. I'm, I'm a white
00:06:38.500 belt. I don't, I don't know if I'm in the position to be able to do that or if that's
00:06:44.180 disrespectful or disingenuous. I don't know. What's your thoughts with that?
00:06:47.360 Yeah. Yeah. That's a really interesting question. I have a good friend. Um, he started his school
00:06:53.340 when he was a blue belt, I believe. Is that right? Yeah. And he's a black belt now. And,
00:06:58.620 and he obviously does it for the love of, of the, of the art. There's some, yeah. I mean,
00:07:04.300 there's some thoughts I think in the community that you should be a little bit higher up, but
00:07:07.760 like, but I think the only thing would limit you is people's perception of like, Oh, who's this guy?
00:07:12.680 But if you're volunteering your time, it's like, what are they going to complain about it anyway?
00:07:16.760 Right. You know what I mean? And if anybody does complain, it's like, cool, come join me. Help me.
00:07:20.700 Yeah. And most people that are like, I don't know. It's funny how that is, right? Like when you teach
00:07:25.780 kids classes, even at our school, it's like, I'm assuming almost all our white belts and blue belts
00:07:31.280 could teach those kids really well. Oh, for parents, but the parents are going to judge the quality of the
00:07:36.100 teaching because of the color of the belt around that guy's waist, whether they're teaching blue
00:07:40.840 belt or white belt techniques or not. Right. It's, it's more about the perception I think than
00:07:46.120 anything, but I think there's value. I, I, in my neighborhood, I've done that like self-defense
00:07:52.460 stuff for the young men all the time. That's kind of like, you know what I mean? The one thing I get
00:07:57.820 called upon to do and it's fun. I love it. I like it. I'd much rather work with the young men than,
00:08:03.040 than grown men. I don't, I don't want to spend time with adults. I want to hang out with the kids and
00:08:08.940 have fun and teach them and guide them and instruct and lead and do all the things that we know how to
00:08:12.760 do. Yeah. Yeah. Why are you more plowpable or you don't mean humble enough to actually consider
00:08:19.320 what's being taught as well? Yeah. Well, I don't know. That's a challenge sometimes too. When you
00:08:22.800 get 14 and 16 year old boys, they think they know it all. You know, it's like sometimes you just have
00:08:27.900 to kind of say, you know, shut up, sit down, listen, pay attention. I know, I know you may think you
00:08:34.220 know everything. I know you think I'm an idiot, but I've got a few more things figured out than you.
00:08:38.940 But those challenges are rewarding for me as well. So I really like working with a young man in the
00:08:43.080 community. Yeah. All right. Michael Riviera, in your opinion, of course, does watching porn affect
00:08:49.600 manhood? Does it make you more or less a man? That's an interesting question. Yeah. The way it's
00:08:57.940 yeah, I do think, I do think it's, I do think it affects manhood because at its most fundamental
00:09:06.100 level, you've just become a cuck. Like you're watching another dude have sex with an attractive
00:09:14.240 woman. So you should be working on that yourself with your wife, not watching other guys perform
00:09:22.000 those acts. And I think it paints an unrealistic and potentially damaging view of, of sex and intimacy
00:09:29.920 with a woman that you care about and are connected to. Yeah. So I don't, I don't have all the research.
00:09:36.420 I don't know all the research, but I know porn is a big problem. I know it's a big issue and I do
00:09:42.100 believe it affects your masculinity. And I do believe you put yourself in a, in a dangerous situation and
00:09:47.280 a dangerous path too, because I think pornography can open the doors and lead to a physical temptation 0.76
00:09:54.020 with another woman, whether it's a secretary or some other woman who shows you a little bit of
00:09:58.220 attention, uh, and, and threaten the commitments and bonds that you've made with your, with your
00:10:04.480 spouse. So I would just say work towards being more intimate and adventurous. And, you know, like,
00:10:12.300 here's the thing about marriage. You know, I've been married for 15 years now. I mean, let's be honest.
00:10:16.640 Sometimes it gets a little monotonous, right? And it gets a little mundane and I'm talking about
00:10:20.240 under the sheets department. So I think it's healthy to have conversations with your spouse
00:10:26.080 and talk about maybe being a little bit more adventurous or spontaneous or, or trying some
00:10:33.560 new things. Like there's nothing wrong with that. But I think if you do it in the parameters that you
00:10:38.540 and her upset, you're going to have, you're going to be much more fulfilled. It's going to be much
00:10:42.340 more healthy. Uh, and you're not going to relinquish any of that masculinity by watching another
00:10:47.160 dude, bang a, bang a woman. Like, I just, I don't think that's a healthy practice. 1.00
00:10:53.960 Yeah. Well, I think the general thought process, you know, if you look at James Allen,
00:10:59.240 right. As a man thinketh like what you think about affects you period. Definitely. Yeah. So if we just
00:11:07.200 look at this from a very simple, logical perspective, does pornography affect? Yeah, it does. What are you
00:11:13.780 thinking about? Right. Yeah. Like it's, it's going to affect who you are, how you show up, what, what
00:11:19.500 you're pondering about and, and those thoughts ultimately, ultimately lead to action. Like they
00:11:25.760 affect you. Well, it's interesting. You know, one of the things I haven't really talked about this,
00:11:30.020 but I used to have a slight pornography problem. I don't know if I would say addiction, but I did have
00:11:35.440 a problem. And one thing I noticed is that I, and this is one of the realizations I came to that
00:11:41.520 helped me stop watching porn is I would be walking down the street and I would be looking at women 1.00
00:11:48.400 differently because I was used to seeing them with their clothes off and, and, and having sex and in 0.64
00:11:55.940 that position. And so I would look at women that I'd normally wouldn't, I would look at them differently. 0.99
00:12:01.380 So of course, like you said, of course that impacts you. The, the stimulus and everything and all the
00:12:07.420 information that's going into your mind is what is producing your results. So whether it's positive
00:12:13.660 or negative, everything that's going into your brain right now, this moment is impacting you is
00:12:18.460 affecting you. Like we don't live in these vacuums where these outside influences don't happen. I know
00:12:24.460 there's this big thing of like zero Fs and I'm a, I'm my own man and whatever. Like it's great. Cool.
00:12:30.280 Sounds really tough. You sound awesome. It's just not reality. Yeah. Hmm. What's that? Uh,
00:12:37.480 sorry. What's that company? The, um, the new drug is that new drug? I think it's what it's called
00:12:43.380 the new drug. I would get up real quick, but really, really interesting movement. I haven't
00:12:48.860 like dived into it all, but like, I, I know that they end up with some statistical evidence around,
00:12:54.920 um, pornography being addictive. They compare it to drugs and they have some, a lot of analysis
00:13:01.080 around that. I, they actually showed up at my son's high school a couple of years ago and did a
00:13:07.560 presentation that, that parents could come and, and, and bring their kids with and stuff. And so
00:13:12.060 anyhow, it may be, maybe a resource to check out. Cause I, I've been intrigued by them anyway.
00:13:17.460 Yeah. It, um, it's called fight the new drug.org. And I just jumped on the site. It looks like they
00:13:24.620 have a documentary. It says a three-part documentary series, breaking down the science
00:13:27.900 and detailing personal accounts of how porn impacts the brain, the heart and the world.
00:13:32.460 So that was some good information there. Yep. All right. Tyler cross. Have you thought
00:13:38.700 about speaking at high schools, colleges across the country?
00:13:43.460 Yes, I have thought about that. I don't particularly enjoy traveling all that much. So I turned down a lot
00:13:49.320 of opportunities to speak and to travel and to do that because it would have to be very compelling for me
00:13:54.520 to do in order for me to leave my family. That's the reality. You know, I, I created this organization
00:13:59.200 and this movement to yes, help men with the tools of the resources they need to step into their
00:14:05.600 masculinity. But I also created it so that I would have the life that I wanted, which was to be home
00:14:11.580 and to be present and to be available for my wife and my kids. So yeah, I've thought about it and
00:14:17.900 I've had to throttle back a lot of my ambitions when it comes to the business, because there's other
00:14:23.400 priorities. And I've made those decisions consciously and I've acted in a way that is in
00:14:29.380 alignment with those objectives. So I don't see myself traveling to colleges and universities and
00:14:35.140 high schools spreading this message when I can do it here digitally. I can invite men out here to run
00:14:41.100 in our events and I can be here and present with my family.
00:14:45.360 I love that.
00:14:46.300 All right. Clay Adar, I'm planning on having a child within the next year. What kind of financial
00:14:53.700 plans, excuse me, should I be putting in place to prepare?
00:14:59.160 Save money because it's going to be expensive. Kids are expensive. That's the deal. 0.92
00:15:03.280 Don't do it, Clay. Don't. Stop now.
00:15:06.860 No, man. Kids are amazing. I was at, I know you are, but somebody is going to hear that and think
00:15:12.800 that that's serious because that seems to be a common trend. And I, I think it's, I don't think
00:15:18.160 it's a good thing. You know, I think children are fulfilling and rewarding and uplifting and
00:15:22.620 challenging in good ways. And man, they just bring so much light into the world. Uh, I took my kids to
00:15:27.760 the local department store, I guess you'd say. It's not really a department store, but anyways,
00:15:33.160 I took them there and we were getting to Snowfoot.
00:15:34.020 They don't have department stores in Maine.
00:15:35.240 Right.
00:15:36.000 IFA.
00:15:36.760 Right.
00:15:37.440 Just IFA.
00:15:38.580 Rennie's. That's where we took them. We took them to Rennie's.
00:15:40.620 Rennie's. Oh, that's even better.
00:15:42.280 Yeah. No, it's a, I love that store. Rennie's is awesome. Anyways, I took them into Rennie's
00:15:46.600 cause we had to get some snow stuff cause it was snowing yesterday. And, uh, where was
00:15:51.680 I going? Now I'm all distracted.
00:15:53.100 Sorry. Uh, financial plans.
00:15:54.900 Oh, kids, kids.
00:15:55.520 The life of the world.
00:15:56.460 Yeah. So, uh, we were upstairs looking at the toys and just checking it all out. And, uh,
00:16:02.040 there was a couple of workers at the stairs and they were standing there and I said, Oh,
00:16:04.960 excuse me, can we get by? And they're like, yeah. And I said, there's going to be a big
00:16:07.620 procession. Cause it was me, my wife and my four kids that had to sneak by these workers to get
00:16:11.680 downstairs. And, you know, I just thought I got this little Mickler army and how cool
00:16:15.420 it is. You know, it's challenging and frustrating at times in a struggle, but all these little
00:16:20.400 Micklers in tow is just, I love it. I love it. So congratulations for making that decision. 0.97
00:16:26.240 Uh, what would I say about getting ready, prepared for finances? Again, save as much money as you can.
00:16:32.720 Definitely, definitely pay off as much debt as you possibly can. This is going to apply whether
00:16:38.940 you're having kids or not, like get out from underneath that debt, whether it's taxes or
00:16:43.680 medical debt or consumer debt or personal loans, get out from underneath that. That's going to help
00:16:49.340 get good at budgeting and managing your cashflow. Uh, have a meeting with, I assume his wife,
00:16:55.560 have a meeting with your wife, uh, every single week about your money, what's coming in, what's
00:17:00.420 going out, where is it being spent and start getting good at recognizing where it's, it's
00:17:06.540 leaking. So imagine this when it comes to cashflow. And this is like my past life. When I'm talking
00:17:11.840 about financial planning, your cashflow is, is a pipeline. And at the beginning of that pipeline
00:17:18.140 is cashflow. It's money in from your employment or investments wherever. So that money comes in.
00:17:24.280 And at the end of that pipeline is the money out. That's your money that you get to spend
00:17:29.220 or have that's like excess. And then all along that pipeline, there's little outlet valves
00:17:34.560 that go into different payments. So that could be house payment or your car payment, uh, groceries,
00:17:40.940 entertainment, et cetera, et cetera. But all along that pipeline, there's these little cracks
00:17:46.560 in that pipe. And those little cracks are where money seeps out and you don't even recognize
00:17:51.480 it or know that it's there. So it's, it's extra expenses on entertainment and dining and being
00:17:59.480 nickeled and dimed on fees at your bank and all these little things that you don't recognize or
00:18:03.740 acknowledge that are there. And it becomes very, very inefficient. So the goal of your cashflow is
00:18:09.500 to make it as efficient as possible, meaning that you account for a hundred percent of your expenses
00:18:14.540 or your income rather. So you have a hundred percent of your income coming in and you have a place
00:18:19.080 for all of it, food, groceries, budget, entertainment, dining, mortgage payment, car payment, gas,
00:18:25.300 fuel, et cetera, et cetera. And also a place to save and invest and put money aside. It should,
00:18:31.520 you should be able to account for a hundred percent. You want a hundred percent efficiency on that cashflow.
00:18:36.780 Uh, I would also say not necessarily pertaining to money exactly, but indirectly is consider your
00:18:42.960 estate planning documents. So a will, a trust, your advanced care directives, which is your,
00:18:50.040 your healthcare instructions. Should you become incapacitated? Those things are important as well.
00:18:55.680 So I would, I would start with, with those few things, those four or five items.
00:19:00.100 Do you ever, have you ever dealt with like, uh, investments that your kids use? Like I remember
00:19:07.500 there was a thing for this, like where you could be investing so much money and then it goes, it gets
00:19:12.720 willed to your kids at the age of 18 and then they can use it. Yeah. What? I don't even know what I'm
00:19:18.380 talking about. No, there's different things. There's like 529E plans. Those are college educational
00:19:22.640 plans. There's some tax advantages for those types of things. Uh, you can also set them up an account
00:19:28.200 where it basically is their account, but you're the custodian until they reach age 18.
00:19:33.440 Yeah. I'm not going to get into all the specifics. There's pros and cons of that. If you're
00:19:37.420 interested in that, go meet with a financial advisor. Uh, and, and they'll, and if they can't
00:19:41.940 walk you through that, meet with a different financial advisor. Uh, but I would say this,
00:19:47.420 take care of yourself first. Yeah. It's amazing to me how many people I had when I was in my
00:19:53.240 financial planning practice that would come in and they would ask about these types of plans.
00:19:57.080 And I said, well, that's great. We can talk about that. Tell me about your planning. Oh, well,
00:20:01.280 we don't have any money set aside. We don't have a 401k. We don't have money. No cashflow. Yeah.
00:20:05.680 Yeah. It's like, okay, well, I appreciate that you want to take care of your kids, but if you can't
00:20:10.440 take care of yourself, you certainly can't take care of your kids. And there's all kinds of things
00:20:14.420 that your kids can, can do later. I mean, they can work, uh, they can get scholarships and grants
00:20:19.560 and loans and like worry about yourself first. And if you want to lend them some money or give them
00:20:26.340 some money from your investment accounts at some point, then you can do that. But that stuff should
00:20:31.440 be ancillary to what you're doing for yourself first. Yeah. Cool. All right. There you go, Clay.
00:20:40.720 All right. Will Luna, what can I do to get my stepdaughter, 11 years old, to be a team player 0.84
00:20:47.420 for our tribe? We are engaged with her, show up to all her activities, et cetera, but her, but her
00:20:54.280 contributions to the overall team are not there. Constant reminder on chores and tasks won't take
00:21:00.260 responsibility. Thank you gentlemen for all you do. I would say without knowing too much about the
00:21:07.640 situation that you probably ought to give her additional responsibility, give her something
00:21:14.100 to be in charge of. And you know what she's going to, yeah. And she's going to fail. And when she fails, 0.97
00:21:19.940 let her experience the full weight of the consequences of failing. Don't save her. Cause if
00:21:25.540 you save her, then it teaches her that she doesn't have to take responsibility. Is this a team? Is
00:21:30.880 this a sports team? Did I misunderstand what this is? Did he say, did he? No, I mean, no, I think it's
00:21:37.360 his, it's his stepdaughter and he's referencing their family. I'm assuming as their tribe. Right. And so
00:21:44.780 she's not being a team player in that tribe. Right. So if she can't make her bet her room,
00:21:50.160 clean her room or clean, make her bed, then she doesn't sleep on the bed. Like, like there has to 0.96
00:21:55.940 be consequences. And people, I know there's people who hear that and think, Oh, that's harsh. Yeah.
00:22:00.440 It's also okay that a child sleeps on the floor. Like I went to bed hungry a few nights because I was
00:22:07.080 being a jerk at dinner and my mom excused me from the table. Cause I wasn't being a contributing
00:22:12.140 member of the family. And so I went to bed hungry. Did I starve? No, but I went to bed hungry and I
00:22:17.980 worse. Oh, and it was still a choice. Right. People fail to realize like, Oh, how harsh you
00:22:23.600 make them sleep on the floor. No, they chose. Right. There was as long as you clearly outline
00:22:29.980 those expectations. Right. So I think when it comes to a family or a team or a tribe, like this
00:22:37.060 gentleman is saying that you give that individual responsibility and ownership, like you had said,
00:22:42.560 you clearly outline the expectations and the consequences of failing to meet those expectations.
00:22:47.980 And then you have to uphold them. That's the hardest part. You have to uphold the expectation
00:22:53.320 and the standard and, and, and tie the consequence to the action itself or the inaction so that they
00:23:00.500 realize, Oh, if I don't make my bed, I don't get to sleep in it. If I'm a jerk at the dinner table,
00:23:06.340 then I don't get to engage with the family. It's, it's gotta be uncomfortable for them. The pain
00:23:11.860 of the consequence has to be greater than the struggle of doing the thing you're asking them to do.
00:23:18.420 Yeah. I really haven't dealt with this too much. It might just be the age of my children. Cause I've
00:23:24.400 got, well, I've got an 11 year old, just like he does. So 11, eight, six, and a nine, almost nine,
00:23:29.640 six and three. And I haven't really had a problem with that. I'm thinking, I'm trying to decide if
00:23:35.020 it's a personality thing. It definitely is with my 11 year old. He's very agreeable.
00:23:38.680 So yeah, I was going to say, I think it might show up maybe, I think for, for Brecken, he might
00:23:43.880 be a little bit more easy sailing. Yes. You know what I mean? At first and your first teenager
00:23:48.720 will be your second son. Yeah. Second or my daughter. Yeah. Uh, and definitely my, my fourth,
00:23:55.360 my son, he's, he's wild. Um, so it might be a combination of their personality and how we raise
00:24:03.380 them. Yeah. Like there's, there's choices and there's consequences for your action or inaction
00:24:08.860 and you get to deal with them. Not me. They're not my consequences. Yeah. Tyler cross. Have
00:24:15.240 you considered or already gotten concealed carry insurance? Um, no, I haven't considered it. I know
00:24:22.980 that's available. Um, I actually just heard this on the radio not too long ago. I didn't really know
00:24:27.040 about it until then. I didn't even know about it until I just read that question. There's insurance
00:24:30.660 for everything, right? I mean, you got to be careful because a lot of these types of insurances,
00:24:36.020 you're just paying into a, into their coffers and nothing ever comes of it. I would really
00:24:40.360 another leak in that pipe. Yeah, for sure. I would really, really research that before
00:24:45.960 I ever considered that or looked into that. Um, I, you know, the, the better thing to do is know
00:24:51.660 the firearms rules and regulations of your state and follow those. Like that's the better thing to do.
00:24:57.980 Yeah. You've still might find yourself in a situation, but as far as, as far as you've done things
00:25:01.840 legally and, and, and done any, everything the state requires, then you're good. Um, but I believe
00:25:08.500 there should be a constitutional carry throughout the United States. Uh, I, I believe that it's,
00:25:13.320 it's ingrained into who we are as a country. It's in our constitution for crying out loud.
00:25:20.680 And we all ought to, uh, be able to protect ourselves and defend ourselves with firearms should,
00:25:26.460 should that situation arise. Just be careful, just follow the rules and make good choices,
00:25:33.120 train yourself well so you can make good choices and hopefully you don't find yourself in that
00:25:36.340 situation for many different reasons. Yeah. David Palma, what do you do when you feel you have,
00:25:43.380 you have played all your cards in your deck to provide for your family, but nothing has come out
00:25:48.060 of it. This goes beyond striking to some, uh, striking, sticking to something or seeing something
00:25:53.580 through. I went to med school and it's still in my ultimate goal to be a doctor. I have one more
00:25:58.680 board exam to enter residency, but I've had some health complications that have not allowed me to
00:26:04.560 take or pass the last exam. So I have tried different avenues to make some money for my family
00:26:09.460 while I get this exam out of the way. A foreign medical medical degree isn't worth much if you aren't 0.99
00:26:15.220 licensed. I'm fully confident that I'll make this career happen. It's just a matter of time.
00:26:20.600 Well, I think you have the right attitude. I mean, he's saying that he he's fully confident.
00:26:25.380 He's going to make it happen. It's just a matter of time. Sounds like there's some health complications
00:26:28.920 that have come up and you know, I feel for that for sure. I can see how that would make things an
00:26:34.140 issue. You're just in a season and that season is just lasting a little longer than you would have
00:26:38.220 hoped. So keep your head down, keep your eye on the prize, adjust where necessary and just keep
00:26:45.260 going. Like you're going to get through it. If you stop, you won't. And, and, and at first when
00:26:50.700 he said, what do you do when you, when you feel like you've played all the cards in your hand,
00:26:54.180 I would say, get a new deck of cards. Like we're not, we're not bound or fixed into this one path.
00:27:00.240 And you know, if, if this doesn't work out, let's just hypothetically assume for a second that
00:27:05.820 the licensing and exam just doesn't work out. And you literally have tried everything that you can
00:27:11.580 and know how to do. It's not the end of the world. It's really not. There's so many different avenues
00:27:17.120 and routes and different things that you can do and take. And it may seem like that because you've
00:27:21.920 had this lifelong ambition, but it's not the end of the world. I don't want to focus on that though.
00:27:26.040 I want to focus on you maintaining the course, you doing what needs to be done. Yeah. It's taking
00:27:32.760 longer because sometimes we have faulty expectations and other times things come up. You know, you,
00:27:38.280 you're, you have a medical thing that you you're dealing with. All right, adapt. This is life.
00:27:44.720 And, and it's not going to be the last hurdle that comes up in your life. You're going to have
00:27:49.640 hurdles thrown at you all the time. That is part of life. And what I've recognized and acknowledged
00:27:54.760 is that the hurdles as difficult as they are and as a little, I want them. I don't, I don't want those
00:28:00.880 hurdles necessarily. I have learned to, in a way, appreciate the fact that it's just helping me be better
00:28:06.840 for something that's yet to come. Consider that for a second, consider that if, and when you overcome
00:28:13.020 this obstacle that you have just been prepared and hardened and strengthened for bigger and better
00:28:21.360 things. I talked about this in the podcast about elevating your problems, right? If your problems
00:28:26.640 and the things you're thinking about, and the things are derailing, you were down here on this scale.
00:28:30.540 I don't one, you're not ready for a two. You're not ready for a level two success because you can't
00:28:35.980 deal with level two problems. Yeah. So if you want level two, three, five, 10 success, you have to be
00:28:43.420 capable of dealing with level 10 problems. And right now you're not because you've got a problem that's
00:28:50.340 derailing you or that's keeping you back. When you overcome that you've proved to God or the universe
00:28:56.820 or yourself or whatever you choose to use, that you are capable of handling greater problems,
00:29:03.020 therefore achieving greater success. They go hand in hand. You can't have the success without the
00:29:09.420 corresponding problem. That's why lottery winners, we've talked about this in the past,
00:29:13.800 have such a difficult time keeping the money that they are, that they win because they haven't
00:29:19.000 earned the right to have that money. And so they lose it and they get swindled and they give it away
00:29:24.280 and they make stupid purchases because they don't have the skillset to be able to obtain that level
00:29:29.760 of wealth and keep that level of wealth. Yeah. So odd how we have to think about this or, you know what
00:29:37.000 I mean? We all know where growth comes from, you know, trials and hardships, but yet like it's so
00:29:44.540 ingrained to want to be comfortable and not have to deal with those things. It's, I don't know,
00:29:50.980 like I have to remind, you know, we talk about all the time and I even have to remind myself like,
00:29:55.140 yeah, this is for my own good. Like, why am I trying to avoid hardship? Like, I mean,
00:29:59.920 don't get me wrong. I shouldn't seek it out, but maybe I should. You should, you should. And,
00:30:05.000 and not dangerous situations, but demanding and difficult situations so that you can be more
00:30:09.760 adequately prepared for the things that are yet to come. Yeah. It's just, it's just how the human
00:30:15.160 behavior is comfort. All the time. It's a simple road. Yeah. I think that's just, I mean, we have
00:30:22.980 a lot of creature comforts, you know, when it gets cold, we turn the heater on and how, you know,
00:30:27.120 we were in London last week and it took us five and a half hours to fly to London. Like how amazing
00:30:32.580 is that? I know that was months. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we, and, and we toured all the,
00:30:38.820 the castles and the tower of London and, you know, to see even what Kings, the condition Kings were
00:30:45.460 living in was like, Oh, this is brutal compared to what we live in now. So it's, it's pretty amazing
00:30:52.100 what we have, but we need to consider that the comforts that we have might be a great enemy of
00:30:58.520 ours to our wellbeing and our growth. Yeah. CJ Vanek. I work with a guy who is very difficult and wants
00:31:07.140 everything to be done his way, even if it isn't the safest and most efficient way. I know he will
00:31:13.300 not listen to me. It is better to keep pushing against his stupidity or just knuckle under and
00:31:19.020 try to avoid him. Well, it depends on the hierarchy of the, of who this guy is. If he's a, if he's a guy,
00:31:28.100 if he's at your level, let's say, then you need to appeal to the higher ups. And I'm not saying
00:31:34.340 rat this guy out or throw him under the bus, but I'm, I'm saying that you need to prove yourself
00:31:38.380 capable of leading the project or the task. So the, uh, upper level management looks at you and
00:31:44.500 says, Hey, you got the, you got the lead on this one. Right? So that's what I would do in that
00:31:50.300 situation. What would I do if he's above me? I would let him do his thing and I would try to help
00:31:56.280 him win where I could. And I would look good in his eyes and I would try to gain favor in his eyes,
00:32:00.720 not by being a brown noser, but by doing the work well and helping him win. And then gradually you 0.98
00:32:08.520 might earn his level of trust. Now, if you're in a dangerous situation, you may need to go up the
00:32:13.820 chain of command so that you're not putting him yourself or anybody else at risk. That's something
00:32:18.980 entirely different, but if it's not dangerous, it's just inefficient and ineffective, help him win,
00:32:26.160 show your leaders that you should be the guy calling the shots and, uh, and consider looking
00:32:33.620 for new employment. Yeah. I'm wondering for CJ, if there's ever an opportunity here where you guys can
00:32:39.700 divvy up tasks. So then that way his inefficiencies aren't affecting you per se as much. And you're
00:32:47.860 saying, okay, I'm going to tackle this over here. You tackle that portion. We come together. And then
00:32:52.580 that way you're not necessarily affected as much by the things that he's doing, but you can still
00:32:57.340 have that value of being efficient with, with your tasks in particular. So I wonder if there's
00:33:03.320 some opportunity there to kind of divvy up the work. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's a challenge here.
00:33:08.520 If you just continue to do it his way, especially if he's at your same level, because if the project
00:33:14.180 fails, he's going to throw you under the bus. Yeah. Right. So you, you've got to find a way to stand
00:33:21.120 out, to shine, to excel and, and really prove to your management that you're the guy who should be
00:33:27.460 making the calls. Yeah. And there might be some value here too, to understand like, why, why does
00:33:34.140 he want to do it that way? I know. I mean, it's really simple for us to say, I mean, obviously we
00:33:39.460 have like what, two sentences here to describe this guy that, that you've been working with. So
00:33:44.100 he's such a jerk. I hate this guy. Idiot. But, but maybe, maybe you're wrong.
00:33:51.880 Yeah. Maybe he's right. Yeah. Good call. So, uh, consider it, or maybe he's focused on like
00:33:58.980 it's inefficient, but maybe quality is really important to him and he wants it really done
00:34:04.300 perfectly. And he, maybe he's been told by management that take your time, just make sure
00:34:09.560 it's perfect. And you're seeing it as like, this is highly inefficient, wasting our time.
00:34:12.660 Like, so maybe ask, maybe understand a little bit more why he's doing it different.
00:34:18.040 Yeah. Those are good. Those are good perspectives. Also, maybe it's his ego. I mean, if he really
00:34:22.880 is this way, it's, it's not to dismiss what you just said, but if he really is this way,
00:34:27.900 he's probably ego driven. Okay. Well, good. That's good to know. Feed into his ego.
00:34:32.000 So yeah, simply play the game. Right. Jeff, uh, bombing. I can't go to, I can't go to all
00:34:42.300 my daughter's daughter's school and extracurricular events without missing work or limiting personal
00:34:48.240 downtime. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to give up time at work and an obvious personal
00:34:53.680 time, but how do you prioritize which kids events to attend? Pick your favorite kid.
00:35:02.000 I'm making you laugh now. That was, that was good. That was pretty good.
00:35:08.860 You just do it. That's it. You just, you just do it. Like you don't, you're overthinking this.
00:35:16.140 Like if you went to little Billy's baseball game last week, go to little Susan's dance recital this
00:35:20.240 week. Okay. Do your best. You can't, you can't do it all. Explain to your kids why you can't do it
00:35:27.220 all. I don't know if, if your wife is in the picture. If she is, then, you know, you divide 0.56
00:35:32.540 and conquer. There's been times where wife's gone to my son's baseball game and I've gone to my
00:35:38.360 daughter's soccer game. And so we both couldn't see it, but we both took pictures. We both supported
00:35:42.800 and let our kids know that they were loved and had support. Uh, but, but these, these are things
00:35:47.620 you shouldn't overthink. You should car. I do believe that you should carve work time out and personal
00:35:53.180 timeout to attend your, attend your kids as things, you know, for coaching, for example, uh, I, I would
00:35:59.060 love to coach all of my kids teams. I can't. So one year I'm going to coach my oldest. The next year I
00:36:04.660 coached my second and so on, because that's, that's what they need from me. And it was hard to make those
00:36:12.600 decisions, but it's not really supposed to be easy. You just give love and attention to all of them
00:36:18.620 as best you can, as equally as you can divide and conquer with your spouse and your partner.
00:36:22.580 And make it work. Yeah. I think the key thing that you said, Brian is, is attention, right? Like
00:36:31.120 ultimately, why do you want to go to the event? What's the purpose? The purpose is so your kids
00:36:37.500 know that you support them. Okay. Well, if you can't make it to the event, how do you support them?
00:36:42.080 Right. Mom records the video. You come home, you sit on the couch and you say, Oh, mom recorded your
00:36:46.880 thing. Come sit down. Let me watch how you did. Right. You watch it together. So they see your excitement of,
00:36:52.460 of, of you watching them perform or, you know, do their event or whatever. And guess what? You
00:36:57.520 didn't have to be there, but they, they saw your excitement. You, you communicated your excitement.
00:37:02.920 You, you know, like you said, set expectation that you couldn't make it, but you really wanted
00:37:06.380 to be there and watch the event with them sitting on the couch. You had just accomplished the same
00:37:11.000 thing. So I think it's get down to why it's important that you go and figure out how do you
00:37:16.840 address that? And maybe another way when you have to divide and conquer. Yep. I like it.
00:37:21.740 All right. Zurich Meraz, Movember men's mental health in general. So I'm going to pull it totally
00:37:32.200 pull audible. So I was talking to Cody and he's going to put together a, uh, uh, Movember order of man page.
00:37:41.140 Should we bring it up on the podcast? Yeah. Do you know where, what it is, what it is? It's like,
00:37:47.840 uh, like the URL. No, I don't, but we'll share it on the Facebook group. Okay. Yeah. That'd be
00:37:53.020 great. Is that cool? All right. Yeah. Did that guy have a question about Movember? No, I think he
00:37:57.680 just wanted us to talk about it. There you go. Yeah. What, what do you, what do you do? I don't,
00:38:04.060 what's, what's the thing. Do you know, uh, Movember? Yeah. I think it's just raising,
00:38:12.260 um, money towards like, I thought, I thought it was actually towards. Oh, it's a, it's a fundraising
00:38:17.920 for men's men's men. Yeah. Remember you don't shave for November. You get it. Yeah. I'm going to,
00:38:22.460 I'll do that. I won't shave for November. Ryan's good. Ryan's going to participate. I think you're
00:38:26.840 supposed to shave it at the beginning of the month, which I'm not doing that. Um, yeah, I don't know.
00:38:33.020 Just whatever. Like, sure. Okay. If we want to create a page, then cool. If you, if you want to
00:38:39.520 do it yourself, that's, that's cool. Like whatever. I think the, to provide value to Xeric's statement
00:38:47.180 here is, um, get involved. If there's something that moves and inspires you run with it, you know,
00:38:53.580 whether it's, uh, whether it's sharing the order of man podcast, because you appreciate what we talk
00:38:58.420 about here or whether it's increasing, uh, mental health and raising money for some other event.
00:39:03.820 Like I love that, that people kind of get connected to something and they kind of think beyond
00:39:10.300 themselves and try to drive and provide value in a way. So if that's something that interests you
00:39:15.740 run for it, the only problem with that movement is it's just for November. So what are you going to
00:39:20.480 do the other, uh, 11 months of the year? But yeah, I mean, there's probably other things to do
00:39:25.000 within the organization. Cause I think Cody's pretty involved in it, but yeah, I think like
00:39:28.940 you said, if it inspires you and you want to get going and by all means do it. Okay. Well,
00:39:34.620 we'll post something about Movember on the Facebook group. So if you guys aren't there,
00:39:39.360 join us there, facebook.com slash group slash order of man. And if you are there, look for a post.
00:39:44.480 Cool. I'm good. All right. Sam Johnson, what advice do you have for men who work in white 0.79
00:39:49.280 collar environments dominated by women? Be the best, whatever you can be, which would be the 0.98
00:39:58.380 same, whether it's not dominated by women or not. So who cares? What like kind of a weird question?
00:40:03.620 No, I mean, uh, it might be, but just be, be the best, whatever insurance salesman or doctor or nurse
00:40:12.840 or I don't know, whatever your, whatever your thing is, like just be the best at it. You know,
00:40:17.900 women, obviously, generally speaking are going to be a different personality than men. So you're 1.00
00:40:22.760 going to have to deal with that. You're going to have to probably deal with a little bit more
00:40:25.980 potentially gossip. Uh, you know, there's things, uh, so you recognize it, you acknowledge it,
00:40:32.820 you know, it's there. Otherwise you wouldn't have asked the question. So just, just play the game,
00:40:37.220 be a good employee, do the best you can help them win, finish your projects and your tasks and help
00:40:42.440 the organization succeed. The end. Cool. Daniel wires, raising a bunch of boys. How are you bringing
00:40:50.900 them into manhood and dealing with the teen years? Fortunately, I don't have a teenager yet,
00:40:56.420 so I haven't had to deal with that. Uh, but I just stay involved. I stay very active. You know,
00:41:02.600 we go camping and we go hiking and my oldest son and I worked out in, in our front room the last
00:41:08.060 night, you know, we were, we're going to go hunting this weekend. Like we just do things together.
00:41:13.260 That's what I would say. And I actually heard something very interesting from Dennis Prager
00:41:17.740 just yesterday as, as I was listening to his podcast, cause somebody asked a similar question
00:41:22.360 and he said, you know, the standard answer is to, to be an example and that's good. He said,
00:41:28.500 the problem is, is it fall short. And the analogy that he used is he said, imagine that I'm a great
00:41:33.800 pianist and that I want my son or daughter to be, uh, become a great pianist as well.
00:41:39.440 Can I teach them to be a great pianist by being a good example, by being a good, good at playing
00:41:44.420 the piano? Yeah, no, of course not. It's not enough to just be a good example. You have to actually
00:41:50.360 teach as well. And through the lessons and your example, that's what helps that individual thrive
00:41:56.760 into something that you'd like him to become. It's the same thing with, with our kids, with our sons,
00:42:01.940 for example, you'd be a great example of what it means to be a man. You'd be the protector, the
00:42:06.000 provider, the presider that we're all working to become listening to this podcast. You'd be that
00:42:10.620 individual. And then you help your sons connect the dots. This is what it means. This is why we work
00:42:15.660 out. This is why we hunt. This is why we provide. This is why we train. This is why we do, uh, read
00:42:20.420 books. This is why we, uh, do everything that we do. This is why, so that we can be the men that
00:42:27.160 we're supposed to be. And we can lead and we can protect and we can provide for our loved ones and
00:42:31.140 ourselves, connect the dots for them, teach them those lessons and then be the example so that they
00:42:36.720 see what they can strive towards. Yeah. And, and back to your original point, right? I'm assuming
00:42:41.880 what you're saying is, and by spending time with your son, that creates those opportunities for you
00:42:47.600 to teach, for you to be an example, to show them the way, like that's not going to happen if you're
00:42:53.120 not hanging around your son at all. And then all of a sudden you're like, all right, lesson number five,
00:42:57.060 let me read it off to you. When these things happen, this is what you do. Like it's just not
00:43:01.520 going to be as effective. And we're boys. We know, we already know this. I, that's how I learn.
00:43:06.940 Most boys learn through action in the process of doing something. And those opportunities present
00:43:11.880 themselves strictly by spending time with your children. And, and I would say again, to reiterate
00:43:17.460 this, it's not enough just to spend the time. You have to connect the dots. Take jujitsu,
00:43:22.200 for example, if I'm rolling with my, my children, I mean, I could dominate them, right? Obviously
00:43:29.260 because I'm bigger and maybe, maybe not. Kip's like, I don't know. Okay. So, but if I do a move
00:43:39.720 and I don't teach them, okay, here's, here's why you got into that position or, Hey, when you're in
00:43:46.360 this position, try this. If I don't pause and explain the process and the steps, they're just
00:43:54.380 going to get beat up. And that's not the objective. Yeah. The objective isn't just to beat them up.
00:43:59.680 It's to teach them. So you got to pause and you got to stop. This came down to a question. Uh, I think
00:44:04.900 what a couple of weeks ago, when somebody was talking about, do you ever, do you ever let your
00:44:09.240 kids win when you're, you're playing with them? It's not about winning and losing. I know that I can
00:44:14.620 beat my son in basketball, like beating him. And if that's my sole purpose would just be like an ego
00:44:22.240 thing. And that's stupid because I don't know how you can develop and build an ego beating a,
00:44:26.240 an 11 year old boy at basketball, but guys do it. That's not the objective. The objective is to help
00:44:33.540 them learn the game, learn the skills of life, get better, and, and be able to apply the lessons from
00:44:40.460 sports to life. Sometimes that requires you going hard and other times it requires you easing up,
00:44:48.020 pulling back on the reins a little bit and, and explaining things and teaching fundamentals so
00:44:54.580 that they can improve. Just use some discernment as a man and figure out what's going to be best
00:44:59.580 for your son's sons and daughter as well. Cool. All right. Last question. Is that cool?
00:45:07.080 Sure. I know you got to get going. So all right, Chris bitters better be a good one.
00:45:10.780 Well, it's a, maybe we'll see. Uh, when are your shirts and hats going to be made in the USA?
00:45:16.960 So I'm assuming he's asking about, I lost your audio. It sounds like Kip. Yep. Sorry. Oh,
00:45:23.000 there we go. So I'm assuming this comes down to his order man gear going to be, uh, kind of funneled
00:45:28.280 through origin eventually is, is kind of what I'm assuming the question is. Uh, the shirts and hats
00:45:34.280 will be made in America when they have the best quality. I mean, right now the shirts and hats we use
00:45:40.240 are the best. We get so many hats, so many compliments in our shirts and hats. And so,
00:45:44.420 um, they're printed in America, they're sewn in America. Uh, but I want to, I want it to be the
00:45:53.140 best. So when origin or whoever else makes like the best shirt and they are, I've talked to them.
00:46:01.140 They're, they're in the process of that right now. Um, then that's who we're going to use.
00:46:05.020 Cool. That's good answer. All right, gentlemen, that's a wrap for today. So we mentioned this

00:47:11.560 his name. That's crazy. They say K Mickler. Uh, no, they've never said Mickler yet. Okay. Say
