Order of Man - Rigging the Election, Owning Unnecessary Stuff, and Showing Up Powerfully ｜ ASK ME ANYTHING

00:00:00.000 There's a quote that I really like by Teddy Roosevelt that says,

00:00:02.480 do what you can with what you have where you are.

00:00:04.820 And that's kind of the ironic thing is that

00:00:06.840 you might not be happy with a relationship

00:00:09.120 or a job that you have right now,

00:00:10.960 but if you go all in with where you currently are,

00:00:13.280 in many cases, you'll find that you were the problem.

00:00:17.100 It wasn't the job.

00:00:18.420 It wasn't your wife. 0.99

00:00:19.680 It was you.

00:00:20.460 And when you fixed yourself, your wife, your job, 0.83

00:00:24.380 your economic situation, and your life changed

00:00:27.540 as a result of the influence you had on it.

00:00:32.200 You're a man of action.

00:00:33.880 You live life to the fullest.

00:00:35.340 Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.

00:00:38.280 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time.

00:00:41.640 Every time.

00:00:42.700 You are not easily deterred or defeated.

00:00:45.040 Rugged.

00:00:45.800 Resilient.

00:00:46.760 Strong.

00:00:47.480 This is your life.

00:00:48.900 This is who you are.

00:00:50.300 This is who you will become.

00:00:52.020 At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:55.060 you can call yourself a man.

00:00:58.240 All right, Kip.

00:00:59.100 It's good to see you, man.

00:01:00.440 Second time that we're going to go live on YouTube.

00:01:03.320 So if anybody's not yet following us over on YouTube,

00:01:06.360 please let us know.

00:01:07.500 YouTube is so frustrating, man.

00:01:08.760 We've got 335,000 subscribers over there.

00:01:12.180 And our videos sometimes, on average,

00:01:15.440 I'd say 1,500, 1,800 views.

00:01:19.220 I just, I know, I know because I've talked with people,

00:01:22.920 but our accounts are being throttled for sure.

00:01:25.420 Yeah.

00:01:25.540 And it's very frustrating.

00:01:27.640 So, but they're the platforms we have.

00:01:29.480 So we use them to the best of our advantage

00:01:31.700 and do what we can do and use their tools against them.

00:01:35.520 And here it is.

00:01:37.100 This is what we're stuck with.

00:01:38.360 And then there might be guys joining us

00:01:40.360 from our Facebook group at facebook.com slash group

00:01:43.000 slash order of man.

00:01:44.840 They're able to come in and check this out as well.

00:01:47.100 So glad we could do this.

00:01:48.240 New technology.

00:01:49.480 Very excited about it.

00:01:50.740 Yep.

00:01:51.960 The evolution of things.

00:01:53.880 Yeah, man.

00:01:54.420 Should we go to get into highlights or headlines?

00:01:58.080 Yes.

00:01:58.720 Headlines?

00:01:59.220 Yeah, absolutely.

00:02:00.360 Let me pull up.

00:02:01.460 Do you have a headline?

00:02:02.020 I've got one today.

00:02:02.960 Yeah, I have one as well.

00:02:04.720 Okay.

00:02:05.040 Why don't you go ahead?

00:02:05.740 Because mine's kind of,

00:02:07.120 mine's not so much of a headline

00:02:08.660 as much as it is a call to action.

00:02:10.540 So why don't you go ahead and lead us off?

00:02:12.320 Okay.

00:02:12.800 Excellent.

00:02:13.160 So the FBI recent revision did a recent revision

00:02:17.940 of their 2022 crime statistics,

00:02:20.040 which adjusted the data to reflect a 4.5% increase in crime

00:02:26.500 rather than the initially reported 2.1 decrease,

00:02:32.460 raising significant concerns around transparency

00:02:35.740 and public trust.

00:02:36.540 The update added 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes,

00:02:44.740 33,000 robberies, and 37,000 aggravated assaults

00:02:50.380 to the original figures,

00:02:52.240 which was made without public announcement

00:02:56.100 in the FBI press release.

00:02:58.080 And it just is a prime example of talk about

00:03:04.960 undermining public opinion,

00:03:09.060 manipulating public opinion,

00:03:10.800 and just a major issue with trust

00:03:15.420 around what is going on

00:03:17.940 and the lack of transparency

00:03:19.300 from a federal government perspective.

00:03:22.560 And it's just a prime example of them meddling,

00:03:25.480 probably in a political season.

00:03:29.120 And it's disgusting and pathetic.

00:03:32.020 I don't know what to say other than that.

00:03:34.120 Yeah, it is.

00:03:35.160 It's, you know,

00:03:36.420 the term that we've heard of is rigged election.

00:03:39.500 And you always hear Donald Trump

00:03:40.740 talk about a rigged election.

00:03:42.100 And I think when he says that,

00:03:43.300 he's talking more about the specifics

00:03:45.960 of ballot harvesting and some of that stuff.

00:03:48.620 And, you know, obviously there's evidence of that

00:03:51.240 to the degree that there's enough

00:03:53.280 that would overturn an election.

00:03:54.660 I don't know that that's the case.

00:03:57.000 But I think if you're just looking at it objectively,

00:04:00.120 yeah, cheating happens. 0.89

00:04:01.380 I mean, it's part of anything.

00:04:02.720 So of course there's cheating going on.

00:04:04.920 But the greater threat in my mind

00:04:06.680 to rigged elections

00:04:07.820 is the bureaucracy,

00:04:10.960 it's lawfare,

00:04:12.860 it's legacy media,

00:04:15.100 rigging information

00:04:17.040 that is passed down to us

00:04:19.000 as citizens of this country

00:04:20.220 in order to produce a desired outcome.

00:04:22.600 So when Biden and Harris's DOJ

00:04:26.600 comes out with a statistic

00:04:29.980 or a report through the FBI

00:04:31.540 that says,

00:04:32.420 oh, violent crime is down.

00:04:35.600 And then has to come out later and say,

00:04:37.660 no, we were off by six percentage points

00:04:39.740 on the fact that it's not even down,

00:04:41.500 it's actually up.

00:04:42.400 And Trump actually said this,

00:04:44.860 to his credit,

00:04:45.540 Trump actually said this

00:04:46.660 in the debate with Harris

00:04:48.460 and got criticized for it.

00:04:49.360 And the moderator,

00:04:50.220 quote unquote,

00:04:50.940 fact-checked him

00:04:51.940 and he said that

00:04:53.440 that wasn't accurate data.

00:04:55.340 And then this comes up.

00:04:57.220 This is the election rigging

00:04:58.620 that's taking place.

00:05:00.480 Yes, there's some

00:05:01.880 devious and deceitful ballot practices.

00:05:05.280 I mean, I think about,

00:05:06.140 for example,

00:05:07.120 voter ID laws,

00:05:09.720 things like that,

00:05:10.780 ballot harvesting.

00:05:12.520 That could be definitely

00:05:13.800 a shady practice.

00:05:14.660 But the greater risk

00:05:15.760 is that we are all being manipulated

00:05:18.000 through our Department of Justice

00:05:20.320 and through the legacy media.

00:05:24.000 Unless we can learn to cut through

00:05:25.740 all of that nonsense,

00:05:26.780 then we're never going to be able

00:05:29.220 to have an election

00:05:30.320 that's based on

00:05:31.120 all of the information at hand.

00:05:32.500 And that's what I want.

00:05:33.180 I just want all of the information

00:05:35.340 at hand

00:05:35.860 so I can make

00:05:37.020 the most informed decision

00:05:38.420 so that you

00:05:39.100 and everybody listening

00:05:40.100 can make the most informed decision

00:05:41.640 and then we can let the chips

00:05:43.020 fall where they may.

00:05:43.780 But there's very few

00:05:45.060 objective media outlets.

00:05:48.200 And objectivity is not

00:05:49.520 a necessity

00:05:50.880 as long as it's presented

00:05:52.360 as being subjective.

00:05:54.100 You know, I think of something

00:05:54.840 like the Daily Wire.

00:05:56.240 They're not an objective news source.

00:05:58.260 They don't claim to be.

00:05:59.800 But a place like CNN

00:06:01.000 or Fox News

00:06:03.000 or MSNBC,

00:06:04.040 all of these places

00:06:05.100 claim to be objective news sources,

00:06:07.840 objective journalists,

00:06:09.120 but they're clearly not.

00:06:10.620 And that's the problem.

00:06:11.560 They're lying

00:06:12.120 and they're deceiving

00:06:13.280 and they're attempting

00:06:14.340 to rig an election

00:06:15.340 through manipulation.

00:06:16.940 And I'm a huge advocate

00:06:18.620 of how do we learn?

00:06:21.440 What pivots and adjustments, right?

00:06:23.660 Because it's really easy for us

00:06:24.920 just to kind of complain about this.

00:06:26.940 But how does this apply to my life?

00:06:28.620 And one thing

00:06:29.600 that I would use this

00:06:31.080 as a learning opportunity

00:06:33.980 for a lot of us

00:06:34.880 of in what scenarios

00:06:37.600 am I trying

00:06:39.220 to manipulate

00:06:40.780 people's perceptions

00:06:42.400 and I mince words,

00:06:45.300 I leave out truths,

00:06:47.400 I cut corners,

00:06:49.020 I do things

00:06:49.960 because I'm trying

00:06:50.740 to manage what people

00:06:52.160 or how people

00:06:53.080 might perceive something.

00:06:54.840 Use that as a red flag.

00:06:56.580 We see this

00:06:57.060 in corporate America a lot.

00:06:58.380 Well, we'll do this

00:06:59.400 for the greater good

00:07:00.980 of our people.

00:07:01.760 And really what we should

00:07:02.680 be saying is

00:07:03.540 if they might have

00:07:05.480 a negative reaction

00:07:06.380 to what we have to say,

00:07:07.980 then should we be doing it?

00:07:11.420 And if that,

00:07:12.740 if we're like,

00:07:13.220 no, it absolutely

00:07:13.820 needs to be done,

00:07:14.440 then trust in people

00:07:15.260 and be transparent

00:07:16.000 because you're going

00:07:18.540 to erode trust.

00:07:19.440 It's not going

00:07:20.320 to serve you

00:07:21.160 in the long run.

00:07:23.080 And so use that

00:07:24.300 as a red flag

00:07:25.000 for yourself.

00:07:25.580 It's like,

00:07:25.840 oh, I can't say that

00:07:26.860 because,

00:07:27.680 well, why can't you?

00:07:29.000 All right,

00:07:29.300 are you out of integrity?

00:07:30.380 You need to clean something up.

00:07:31.540 Should you actually

00:07:32.160 be doing the thing

00:07:32.880 that you're doing?

00:07:34.200 And most importantly,

00:07:35.240 that's up to other people

00:07:36.520 to decide how they might

00:07:37.580 respond to something.

00:07:39.400 And sometimes

00:07:40.200 the simple question

00:07:42.100 we need to ask ourselves

00:07:43.520 is should it be said?

00:07:45.300 Should they know?

00:07:46.360 And if the answer is yes,

00:07:48.040 then you do it

00:07:48.880 regardless.

00:07:51.540 You know where else

00:07:52.480 this unfolds

00:07:54.200 is in the dating world.

00:07:55.020 My girlfriend and I

00:07:55.780 were talking about it

00:07:56.560 just this last weekend

00:07:57.560 where a guy

00:07:59.960 will go out,

00:08:00.700 for example,

00:08:01.140 with a woman

00:08:01.800 and a lot of the times

00:08:04.120 women have trust issues 1.00

00:08:05.500 because men are notorious

00:08:07.880 for not communicating

00:08:09.060 exactly what their

00:08:09.980 intentions are.

00:08:11.160 And she had said

00:08:12.120 something like,

00:08:13.760 well, yeah,

00:08:14.340 you know,

00:08:14.560 if a guy comes in

00:08:15.640 and says,

00:08:16.120 hey, I just,

00:08:16.700 I don't want to date you

00:08:17.520 forever.

00:08:17.820 I just want to sleep around.

00:08:19.540 You know what you were

00:08:20.240 talking about?

00:08:20.840 Is that a good thing

00:08:21.540 to say or not?

00:08:22.460 And my thought is

00:08:23.920 that's better

00:08:24.860 than not saying it,

00:08:27.420 but actually acting

00:08:29.300 that way.

00:08:30.080 So now you're sleeping

00:08:31.200 around with other women.

00:08:32.140 You've got this one woman 1.00

00:08:33.320 on the line.

00:08:33.900 She thinks you're trying

00:08:34.540 to be exclusive or serious

00:08:35.740 and you're not interested

00:08:37.180 in it.

00:08:37.920 And I know why

00:08:39.280 a man would do that.

00:08:40.320 He would do that

00:08:40.980 so that he doesn't

00:08:41.840 blow his cover

00:08:42.460 and can get all the play

00:08:43.360 he wants.

00:08:44.860 But it's better

00:08:45.920 for somebody

00:08:46.460 to just come out

00:08:47.020 and say,

00:08:47.400 hey, yeah,

00:08:47.760 I'm just interested

00:08:48.920 and fooling around

00:08:49.580 and playing around

00:08:50.280 than I am dating

00:08:52.400 exclusively with one person.

00:08:54.480 You know,

00:08:54.700 you see that all the time.

00:08:56.520 There's a page

00:08:57.480 that has been brought

00:08:59.100 to my attention.

00:09:00.480 It's like a Facebook group

00:09:01.920 that I guess guys,

00:09:04.220 women will post 1.00

00:09:05.080 guys' pictures on there

00:09:06.460 and say,

00:09:07.600 and it's called like,

00:09:08.400 am I,

00:09:08.920 are you dating this person

00:09:10.060 or something?

00:09:10.720 And they'll post

00:09:11.900 a picture on there

00:09:13.420 and then all the other women

00:09:16.160 will chime in and say,

00:09:17.000 oh yeah,

00:09:17.360 I've dated that guy

00:09:18.320 or that guy's dating

00:09:19.160 my sister right now

00:09:20.520 or whatever

00:09:21.220 and so they'll just

00:09:22.220 blow these guys' covers

00:09:24.360 and there's also one

00:09:25.320 for guys too.

00:09:26.560 So there's two different versions

00:09:28.100 but it's a little off subject

00:09:30.440 but the point is,

00:09:32.060 even at the micro level,

00:09:33.400 just state your intentions

00:09:34.580 and when you do,

00:09:36.960 you allow people

00:09:37.880 to make their own decisions

00:09:39.340 based on relevant,

00:09:41.900 pertinent,

00:09:42.340 accurate information.

00:09:43.700 God,

00:09:43.920 and it's so easier,

00:09:45.660 so much easier,

00:09:47.020 less stress.

00:09:48.020 So then,

00:09:49.320 oh,

00:09:49.700 for sure.

00:09:50.800 It makes me

00:09:51.580 exhaustive thinking about it.

00:09:52.860 You don't have to

00:09:53.760 continually lie

00:09:55.900 and then,

00:09:56.960 not only do you

00:09:57.520 not have to lie,

00:09:58.420 you don't have to lie

00:09:59.240 on top of lie

00:09:59.900 on top of lie

00:10:00.620 to cover up

00:10:01.320 the first lie

00:10:02.080 and before long,

00:10:03.420 there's a quote about it,

00:10:04.680 you can't even remember

00:10:05.680 what you were lying about.

00:10:07.380 You either,

00:10:07.800 A,

00:10:07.940 think it's true

00:10:08.700 or stumble all over

00:10:10.320 your stories

00:10:10.920 and get caught anyways.

00:10:12.600 Yeah,

00:10:12.860 totally.

00:10:14.140 Yeah.

00:10:14.860 All right,

00:10:15.080 man,

00:10:15.260 what do you got?

00:10:15.620 So my headline

00:10:17.080 is in the world

00:10:19.120 of politics

00:10:19.680 and this is not

00:10:20.240 so much a headline

00:10:20.920 but I was listening

00:10:22.420 to the news

00:10:23.280 or something this morning

00:10:24.180 and they were talking

00:10:25.300 about the disparity,

00:10:27.020 the gender gap

00:10:27.720 between women and men 0.75

00:10:29.320 when it comes to voting

00:10:30.260 and I pulled up

00:10:31.160 some statistics here

00:10:32.260 and generally speaking,

00:10:33.820 women vote, 0.99

00:10:35.040 about 55%

00:10:36.520 of the respondents

00:10:38.540 or voters

00:10:39.200 are women 0.97

00:10:39.680 and then 44%

00:10:40.640 to 47%

00:10:41.680 are typically men.

00:10:43.100 Really?

00:10:43.660 And so I,

00:10:44.300 yeah.

00:10:44.860 Huh.

00:10:45.600 Yeah,

00:10:45.820 so I pulled this up here.

00:10:47.040 This is from Target Early.

00:10:49.180 I don't know

00:10:50.580 the credibility of this site.

00:10:51.720 I'll go ahead

00:10:52.020 and throw this out here

00:10:52.720 right now.

00:10:53.120 It looks pretty reputable

00:10:54.080 and I think it's legitimate

00:10:56.860 but they're looking

00:10:58.100 at the early

00:10:59.220 and absentee voting reports

00:11:00.720 for this year's election.

00:11:02.240 So this is as of October 21st,

00:11:04.360 this morning,

00:11:05.400 2024

00:11:05.920 and it looks like

00:11:08.940 my eyes are going bad

00:11:10.560 so it just takes me a second.

00:11:12.740 53%

00:11:13.840 of the early voters

00:11:15.380 or the 13 million voters

00:11:16.720 that have cast early ballots

00:11:17.920 in the 2024 election,

00:11:19.920 53%

00:11:20.940 are women 0.97

00:11:21.540 and

00:11:23.180 44.7%

00:11:25.360 are

00:11:26.280 male.

00:11:27.560 Now you might be asking

00:11:28.420 where's the other

00:11:29.220 two or three percent?

00:11:31.060 Gender unknown,

00:11:32.140 whatever the hell that means.

00:11:33.660 2.3%

00:11:35.040 gender unknown.

00:11:36.200 I didn't even know

00:11:37.200 that was an option.

00:11:37.940 Oh, shit.

00:11:38.280 But I think it goes

00:11:40.180 to just show

00:11:41.060 that historically

00:11:42.000 women vote 0.98

00:11:42.780 in larger droves

00:11:43.900 than men do 0.97

00:11:44.580 and I think

00:11:45.720 that's unfortunate.

00:11:47.200 Not that I don't think 0.99

00:11:48.240 their voices should count

00:11:49.600 but that we should have

00:11:51.140 accurate representation

00:11:52.940 as men.

00:11:54.740 And I think there are

00:11:55.580 more women 0.98

00:11:56.200 in the country

00:11:56.980 voting women

00:11:57.580 than there are men

00:11:58.320 so that represents

00:11:59.020 a little bit

00:11:59.500 of the disparity

00:12:00.080 but it's very,

00:12:01.700 very crucial

00:12:02.200 that men get involved

00:12:03.440 because

00:12:03.940 you are going

00:12:05.220 to be impacted

00:12:05.980 by the decisions

00:12:06.660 that are being made

00:12:07.480 and if we allow

00:12:08.080 those decisions

00:12:08.680 to be made

00:12:09.260 by representation

00:12:09.980 that don't represent us

00:12:11.440 then we're going

00:12:12.660 to find ourselves

00:12:13.300 in a spot

00:12:13.780 that we don't like,

00:12:14.940 appreciate,

00:12:15.460 or might even be

00:12:16.200 dangerous or destructive

00:12:17.220 to our way of life.

00:12:19.000 So guys,

00:12:19.660 my,

00:12:20.140 and I'm not going

00:12:20.560 to tell you

00:12:20.920 who to vote for.

00:12:21.680 You all know

00:12:22.080 at this point

00:12:22.640 I'm voting for Trump.

00:12:24.020 He's not the best candidate.

00:12:25.520 I think we had

00:12:26.060 a really great candidate

00:12:26.960 in Ron DeSantis.

00:12:28.380 He governs well.

00:12:29.740 I think he presented

00:12:30.760 poorly

00:12:31.240 during the primaries

00:12:32.180 but he does govern

00:12:34.200 very well

00:12:35.180 and that's what I want.

00:12:36.440 I want a president

00:12:37.980 who can govern well

00:12:39.360 and he did that

00:12:40.100 but that's beside the point.

00:12:42.180 So here we are

00:12:43.180 with our candidates.

00:12:44.900 Make your choice

00:12:45.840 but make the choice

00:12:48.160 and actually take some time.

00:12:49.800 Go do it.

00:12:50.340 I've got my mail-in ballot

00:12:51.340 right here.

00:12:52.560 I just got it

00:12:53.120 in the mail yesterday

00:12:53.800 so I'm going to be voting

00:12:55.020 by mail

00:12:55.660 and you guys can do that too.

00:12:58.020 Just make sure

00:12:59.160 you cast your ballot

00:13:00.080 and I understand

00:13:00.940 what a lot of you

00:13:01.660 are probably already thinking

00:13:02.820 my vote doesn't count.

00:13:04.840 It doesn't matter.

00:13:06.700 Look,

00:13:08.060 I'm not going to get into

00:13:09.060 whether or not it does

00:13:10.000 but I will tell you this.

00:13:11.120 If you don't

00:13:11.880 it definitely doesn't count.

00:13:15.040 If you don't do it

00:13:16.440 or if everybody thought that

00:13:18.340 it definitely would not count.

00:13:20.300 It would increase the odds

00:13:21.500 of our vote not counting 100%.

00:13:23.740 Yeah.

00:13:24.920 So go vote.

00:13:26.600 I can't help

00:13:27.300 but people that have that mentality

00:13:29.180 what are the areas of your life

00:13:30.780 are you sitting back going

00:13:32.060 well, my opinion doesn't matter

00:13:34.340 and oh, there's nothing I can do.

00:13:37.040 Like there's trends

00:13:38.480 and when you show up powerfully in life

00:13:41.800 you show up powerfully

00:13:42.580 and when you're a victim

00:13:44.540 and you're waiting for other people

00:13:46.680 to dictate how your life happens to you

00:13:49.000 trust me

00:13:49.560 it's not just happening

00:13:51.000 on the political side

00:13:51.960 it's probably happening

00:13:52.760 in your marriage

00:13:53.460 it's happening in your family

00:13:55.080 it's happening in multiple areas.

00:13:56.580 It's just kind of a pathetic

00:13:59.180 a pathetic thing to say

00:14:01.900 oh, it's almost like a victim

00:14:03.900 or a weakness

00:14:05.060 like oh, nobody cares about insecurity

00:14:07.700 nobody cares

00:14:08.980 I'm not important

00:14:10.280 I don't like that

00:14:11.200 that's not anything

00:14:12.080 that we've advocated

00:14:12.960 over the past nine and a half years now.

00:14:14.880 Yeah, absolutely.

00:14:16.380 All right, so we're going to field questions

00:14:17.840 from the Iron Council

00:14:19.480 to learn more about the Iron Council

00:14:21.620 you can go to orderofman.com

00:14:23.180 slash Iron Council

00:14:24.260 our first question

00:14:24.880 Hey, actually Kit

00:14:25.620 before we do that

00:14:26.540 can I just

00:14:27.580 because we're trying to build up

00:14:29.120 the live previews

00:14:30.280 can I just give precedent

00:14:31.240 to some of the comments

00:14:32.800 and questions

00:14:33.320 that we had come in live already?

00:14:35.080 Yeah, yeah

00:14:35.680 in fact, I just saw one question

00:14:37.340 that is very much related

00:14:38.820 to what we just said

00:14:39.820 and so yeah, absolutely.

00:14:41.900 Do you want me to go ahead

00:14:42.600 and read that?

00:14:43.960 Yeah, why don't you read that question

00:14:45.040 we'll hit on that

00:14:45.620 and then we can move over to the IC.

00:14:47.120 Yeah, so we have

00:14:48.340 well, there's a couple questions

00:14:51.440 there's two things

00:14:52.300 I actually want to call out

00:14:53.580 so Franco 0.72

00:14:55.520 you know, he asked the question

00:14:56.980 how politically driven are you?

00:15:00.240 And so let's just address that

00:15:01.780 and then there's a comment

00:15:03.020 around the concept

00:15:04.160 around the lesser of two evils.

00:15:07.420 Yeah, well I'm extremely

00:15:09.080 politically driven

00:15:10.160 what is the phrase?

00:15:11.920 Politics are downstream of culture

00:15:13.480 or culture is downstream of politics

00:15:15.200 right?

00:15:15.900 So everything that we do

00:15:18.120 is impacted by the political realm

00:15:20.680 so for those guys

00:15:22.000 who are thinking

00:15:22.620 I'm not very political

00:15:23.700 my vote doesn't count

00:15:25.540 I don't want to get involved

00:15:26.640 et cetera, et cetera

00:15:27.500 you are involved

00:15:28.880 the only question is

00:15:30.660 whether or not

00:15:31.260 you're participating

00:15:32.140 you know, isn't it?

00:15:32.960 What's that?

00:15:33.380 NCP or NPC

00:15:35.620 non-player

00:15:36.420 non-computer player

00:15:38.960 have you heard of this?

00:15:39.820 It's like in the gaming world

00:15:41.020 it's like a non

00:15:41.780 when it's a bot or whatever

00:15:43.360 yes

00:15:44.360 yeah

00:15:44.700 that's what you are

00:15:46.420 you're running through a script

00:15:48.860 not

00:15:49.620 I'm not pointing anybody out

00:15:50.940 individually

00:15:51.420 but

00:15:51.780 I'm explaining the concept

00:15:53.720 you're running a script

00:15:55.440 and you aren't even in the game

00:15:57.600 you're in

00:15:58.120 you're there

00:15:58.600 you're present

00:15:59.200 in the consequences of the game

00:16:01.880 but you're not actually

00:16:03.280 an active player

00:16:04.220 what a pathetic way to live

00:16:06.480 so yeah

00:16:07.800 you should be informed

00:16:09.360 you should be educated

00:16:10.740 you should be running for politics

00:16:12.200 you should know

00:16:13.300 who your elected officials are

00:16:15.080 you should know

00:16:16.000 all of those things

00:16:16.880 so that you can actually

00:16:18.260 be involved in the process

00:16:19.900 because it is going to impact

00:16:21.640 your income

00:16:22.380 your taxation

00:16:23.580 your school districts

00:16:26.240 your county lines

00:16:28.240 your zoning

00:16:29.040 everything in your life

00:16:30.860 is because of what politicians do

00:16:33.220 for better

00:16:34.200 and more often than not

00:16:35.340 for worse

00:16:35.900 yeah

00:16:36.640 and politics is integrating

00:16:38.060 into our personal lives

00:16:39.380 so much more

00:16:41.040 than it ever has

00:16:42.380 and so

00:16:43.400 I could understand

00:16:45.520 back in the day

00:16:46.440 where we might be like

00:16:47.300 ah politics

00:16:47.960 it's this thing over here

00:16:49.340 are you joking

00:16:50.060 politics is everything

00:16:51.160 that's dictating your school 0.94

00:16:52.960 it dictates what your kids

00:16:54.280 are being taught

00:16:55.040 like

00:16:55.840 there is no separation

00:16:57.680 certainly not anymore

00:16:59.500 and there's a lot of

00:17:01.660 to your point

00:17:02.460 there's a lot of influence

00:17:03.560 on how politics

00:17:05.040 shows up in our lives

00:17:06.120 so

00:17:07.020 yeah

00:17:07.340 hop in there Franco 0.91

00:17:09.060 if you're not

00:17:10.060 the other question was

00:17:12.020 what about those of us

00:17:13.660 who would rather not vote

00:17:15.240 for the lesser of two evils

00:17:16.860 actually

00:17:18.540 I can actually get behind that

00:17:21.540 I would rather

00:17:22.780 if you

00:17:23.340 oh here's two reasons

00:17:24.540 a few reasons

00:17:25.480 you shouldn't vote

00:17:26.120 one you're dumb 0.72

00:17:26.880 I don't want you to vote

00:17:29.260 I actually think

00:17:30.260 it should be a little harder

00:17:31.080 to vote

00:17:31.440 and how

00:17:32.080 heaven forbid

00:17:33.280 I say that

00:17:33.880 it's a right

00:17:34.360 no it's not a right

00:17:35.320 where is it a right to vote

00:17:36.720 no it's a right to representation

00:17:38.300 but

00:17:38.680 nobody has a right to vote

00:17:40.460 I think we ought to consider

00:17:41.760 maybe making sure

00:17:43.540 people have some sort of

00:17:44.880 baseline

00:17:45.460 knowledge

00:17:46.800 about our political system

00:17:48.320 before they go cast

00:17:49.260 their ballot

00:17:49.960 I know that's going to be

00:17:51.660 controversial

00:17:52.200 but

00:17:52.680 I don't

00:17:53.540 we don't need more people

00:17:54.900 to vote

00:17:55.280 just to boost up the numbers

00:17:56.680 so

00:17:58.160 a couple of reasons

00:17:59.360 you wouldn't

00:17:59.840 you're dumb

00:18:00.380 you're ignorant about it

00:18:01.340 I actually don't want

00:18:02.200 those people to vote

00:18:03.040 because I already know

00:18:03.780 which way they're going to vote

00:18:04.620 anyways

00:18:04.880 and I don't want those people

00:18:06.040 to vote

00:18:06.440 and

00:18:07.760 if you don't

00:18:08.480 if you

00:18:08.940 if you in your heart

00:18:10.340 can't

00:18:11.320 support a candidate

00:18:13.060 and let's

00:18:13.600 let's take Trump

00:18:14.360 for example

00:18:14.920 because there's a lot

00:18:15.840 of people who listen to this

00:18:16.840 who are going to be voting

00:18:17.900 for Trump

00:18:18.360 and there's a lot of guys

00:18:19.260 who are listening

00:18:19.660 like how could you

00:18:20.740 look if you can't

00:18:21.940 that's fine

00:18:22.880 just don't vote

00:18:24.140 I understand that

00:18:25.600 that

00:18:26.180 I can

00:18:27.220 I can see why

00:18:28.560 that would be the case

00:18:29.480 and I don't think

00:18:30.520 that you're obligated

00:18:31.480 to vote

00:18:31.880 because you're

00:18:32.520 you're a citizen

00:18:33.300 like it isn't

00:18:34.020 your patriotic duty

00:18:35.120 if you don't feel like

00:18:36.720 it's in your best interest

00:18:38.660 I don't agree

00:18:40.000 with that necessarily

00:18:40.920 but

00:18:41.500 you have

00:18:42.620 you have

00:18:43.200 certainly the opportunity

00:18:44.180 not to vote

00:18:45.040 totally

00:18:46.700 well and

00:18:47.660 and when it comes

00:18:48.720 to third party

00:18:49.540 third parties

00:18:51.600 if we always

00:18:53.420 voted the two

00:18:54.140 political systems

00:18:55.220 then there would

00:18:55.940 never be a momentum

00:18:56.840 right

00:18:57.740 and a disruption

00:18:58.660 to

00:18:59.260 the two party

00:19:00.980 system

00:19:01.360 and so if you're

00:19:02.420 if you're trying

00:19:03.440 to buck the system

00:19:04.300 a little bit

00:19:04.860 and you want

00:19:06.160 to create momentum

00:19:06.920 for me

00:19:08.440 I'd absolutely

00:19:09.340 vote third party

00:19:10.780 knowing that

00:19:11.340 they're not going to win

00:19:12.180 but like

00:19:12.780 they're never going to win

00:19:14.160 unless people start

00:19:15.400 taking action

00:19:16.220 and showing

00:19:17.640 that like hey

00:19:18.420 that's a viable approach

00:19:20.380 you know what I mean

00:19:21.240 to our politics

00:19:22.180 and so

00:19:23.020 yeah

00:19:23.380 yeah

00:19:23.800 so vote

00:19:24.340 vote your conscious

00:19:25.160 for sure

00:19:25.820 but at least

00:19:26.780 do something

00:19:27.540 right

00:19:28.220 yeah

00:19:29.740 and I

00:19:30.060 I'm just pulling this up

00:19:31.020 here real quick

00:19:31.540 so I got

00:19:32.400 I have my ballot

00:19:33.060 right here

00:19:33.640 and I'm not going to show it

00:19:34.960 because I might have

00:19:35.600 sensitive

00:19:36.360 I don't think I have

00:19:37.180 sensitive information

00:19:37.960 on it

00:19:38.220 regardless

00:19:38.640 but we also have to remember

00:19:41.400 when we talk about this

00:19:43.620 everybody says

00:19:44.520 or just assumes

00:19:45.860 oh we're voting

00:19:46.560 for president

00:19:47.100 yes

00:19:47.780 true

00:19:48.500 but on here

00:19:49.600 we've also got

00:19:50.460 U.S. Senate

00:19:51.160 you've got your U.S.

00:19:52.780 you know

00:19:52.960 house district

00:19:53.600 whatever district you're in

00:19:54.500 you've got your state offices

00:19:55.580 attorney general

00:19:56.360 state auditor

00:19:57.160 you've got

00:19:58.240 state treasurer

00:19:59.420 state senators

00:20:00.920 county commissioners

00:20:02.460 county clerks

00:20:03.460 and then you've got

00:20:04.800 a couple of different

00:20:05.740 constitutional amendments

00:20:06.720 for the state

00:20:07.380 that is

00:20:07.880 and other

00:20:10.260 proposals

00:20:11.760 I'll call them

00:20:12.620 for changes

00:20:14.360 to

00:20:15.020 certain laws

00:20:16.960 so

00:20:17.600 you might not want to vote

00:20:19.700 for any of the political

00:20:20.940 presidential candidates

00:20:22.480 but there's a lot of other reasons

00:20:24.060 to vote

00:20:24.560 that

00:20:25.260 you might

00:20:26.060 want to consider

00:20:27.040 because

00:20:27.360 that's going to impact you greatly

00:20:28.920 yeah

00:20:29.740 absolutely

00:20:30.880 all right

00:20:31.860 we'll keep our eye on that

00:20:33.120 on that chat guys

00:20:34.200 as we

00:20:34.680 as we go through these questions

00:20:36.040 all right

00:20:36.800 Peter

00:20:37.220 Bentoncourt

00:20:38.100 I'm currently working

00:20:39.720 through the interview process

00:20:41.020 for promotional possibility

00:20:43.400 with my current employer

00:20:44.860 I've made it

00:20:46.240 I've made it past

00:20:48.280 my second interview

00:20:49.160 and should be scheduled

00:20:50.160 for a panel interview

00:20:51.280 later this week

00:20:52.180 I've done my homework

00:20:53.520 and I've been practicing

00:20:54.540 over the last couple of weeks

00:20:55.800 do you have any

00:20:56.500 last minute tips

00:20:57.840 when interviewing

00:20:59.000 via a live call

00:21:00.540 thank you

00:21:01.320 the

00:21:03.180 I think Peter's

00:21:04.280 probably been doing

00:21:05.220 a great job

00:21:05.820 just the fact that

00:21:06.440 he's asking us this

00:21:08.160 he's already into the process

00:21:09.580 the one thing

00:21:10.680 that I've seen

00:21:11.100 a lot of people overlook

00:21:12.100 when it comes to interviewing

00:21:13.260 is they think

00:21:14.760 because it's an interview

00:21:15.840 that the interviewer

00:21:17.480 is exclusively

00:21:18.980 allowed to ask questions

00:21:20.700 of the interviewee

00:21:22.060 and one strategy

00:21:23.600 that I've found

00:21:24.240 that is really

00:21:24.920 really

00:21:25.280 it's valuable

00:21:27.280 and it makes

00:21:28.260 an interviewee

00:21:29.280 a candidate

00:21:29.820 look really engaged

00:21:31.760 is asking

00:21:32.520 thoughtful questions

00:21:33.440 and if that candidate

00:21:35.320 can ask

00:21:35.800 thoughtful questions

00:21:36.600 but you have to be

00:21:37.280 a little careful

00:21:37.840 because you don't want

00:21:38.520 to ask too many questions

00:21:39.760 because then it comes

00:21:41.080 across as peppering

00:21:42.060 and a little bit weird

00:21:43.660 and you don't want

00:21:44.880 to ask questions

00:21:45.580 you should know

00:21:46.140 the answer to either

00:21:47.160 because then you are

00:21:48.700 showing that you did

00:21:49.760 not do your homework

00:21:50.660 but if you ask

00:21:52.540 thoughtful questions

00:21:53.460 something

00:21:54.400 and they can't be

00:21:55.520 general either

00:21:56.140 like what can I do

00:21:57.160 to be good at my job

00:21:58.180 no that's not

00:21:59.560 what I'm talking about

00:22:00.340 a thoughtful question

00:22:02.340 I don't know where Peter

00:22:03.200 what line of work

00:22:04.480 he's in necessarily

00:22:05.180 but a thoughtful

00:22:06.180 question might be

00:22:07.120 hey I know

00:22:09.240 the distribution

00:22:09.960 of sales

00:22:11.140 in the company

00:22:12.580 is

00:22:13.340 50%

00:22:14.900 online

00:22:16.300 30%

00:22:17.940 brick and mortar

00:22:19.160 and 20%

00:22:20.300 direct to consumer

00:22:21.160 whatever right

00:22:21.820 just whatever

00:22:22.480 the allocation is

00:22:23.320 from where you guys sit

00:22:25.980 do you want to

00:22:28.060 improve

00:22:28.800 those numbers

00:22:30.040 and if so

00:22:31.120 what are your targets

00:22:32.440 so that I know

00:22:33.300 if I were to come

00:22:33.900 into this position

00:22:34.520 I can have an idea

00:22:35.800 of what some benchmarks

00:22:36.860 would be

00:22:37.380 now that might not

00:22:38.560 apply to Peter

00:22:39.240 but I'm just giving

00:22:40.280 an example

00:22:40.920 that's a really

00:22:42.140 thoughtful question

00:22:43.180 that shows that

00:22:45.160 you've done your homework

00:22:46.080 and that also

00:22:47.220 you really care

00:22:48.260 about what their

00:22:49.360 objectives are

00:22:50.200 so I think

00:22:51.040 asking questions

00:22:52.440 just a couple

00:22:53.560 you don't need it a lot

00:22:54.640 just a couple

00:22:55.260 really poignant

00:22:56.520 well-timed questions

00:22:57.860 go a really

00:22:58.620 really long way

00:22:59.240 in an interview process

00:23:00.220 totally

00:23:01.000 just to add

00:23:02.700 to that same

00:23:03.420 exact concept

00:23:04.200 and I mentioned

00:23:04.740 this recently

00:23:05.960 I don't know

00:23:06.520 to who

00:23:07.120 I share my opinion

00:23:08.400 probably a little

00:23:09.000 too often

00:23:09.460 so I can't relate

00:23:10.580 or I can't remember

00:23:11.480 when I shared this

00:23:12.260 but have the mindset

00:23:14.040 that you're the CEO

00:23:15.780 and who you're

00:23:17.540 interviewing for

00:23:18.280 is the client

00:23:19.000 so what would you do

00:23:21.680 in that scenario

00:23:22.320 you would understand

00:23:23.320 your client really well

00:23:24.380 you would probably

00:23:25.500 have a little bit

00:23:26.500 of a strategy

00:23:27.260 and game plan

00:23:28.200 of what success

00:23:29.160 would be like

00:23:29.860 in that role

00:23:30.640 and position

00:23:31.240 and then in this interview

00:23:32.800 what are you

00:23:33.300 what are you validating

00:23:34.520 you're confirming

00:23:36.060 your understanding

00:23:37.900 and a little bit

00:23:38.580 of your game plan

00:23:39.520 and where they see

00:23:41.580 success measures

00:23:42.560 and how

00:23:43.560 what does winning

00:23:44.660 or what does success

00:23:45.720 look like

00:23:46.260 in that position

00:23:47.320 with a little bit

00:23:48.540 of like peppering

00:23:49.380 of what you think

00:23:50.580 it should be

00:23:51.220 but you validating

00:23:52.980 with them

00:23:53.500 I really do believe

00:23:56.140 that if you go

00:23:56.920 into this interview

00:23:57.900 Peter

00:23:58.240 with the perspective

00:23:59.340 that this is

00:24:01.280 this is a contract

00:24:02.820 to some extent

00:24:03.960 between you

00:24:04.540 and them

00:24:04.940 you're not

00:24:06.540 their employee

00:24:07.700 no

00:24:08.240 they might

00:24:09.360 have the opportunity

00:24:10.440 to hire you

00:24:11.660 for your services

00:24:12.620 and so

00:24:15.040 approach it

00:24:15.900 from that perspective

00:24:16.800 and trust me

00:24:17.900 you'll have

00:24:18.660 the right confidence

00:24:20.240 the right humility

00:24:21.580 the curiosity

00:24:23.320 and the focus

00:24:24.420 and the questions

00:24:25.040 necessary

00:24:25.640 to show up

00:24:26.840 in a really powerful way

00:24:28.000 when you think

00:24:28.860 of it that way

00:24:29.500 and for that matter

00:24:31.000 everybody that has a job

00:24:32.480 that feels like

00:24:34.000 a little bit

00:24:34.560 of their employer

00:24:36.440 dictates what they do

00:24:38.500 and what they don't do

00:24:39.560 all of us

00:24:40.600 should stop

00:24:41.180 and go wait a second

00:24:42.200 no

00:24:42.560 I'm choosing

00:24:43.920 to work for them

00:24:44.780 and maybe

00:24:47.080 it will work for me

00:24:48.040 maybe it won't

00:24:48.980 work for me

00:24:49.620 this is a

00:24:50.580 this is an agreement

00:24:51.700 I own my own career

00:24:53.280 and are they

00:24:55.020 paying me

00:24:55.980 and creating me

00:24:56.760 the opportunities

00:24:57.460 to learn and grow

00:24:58.140 if they're not

00:24:58.700 then I am exiting

00:24:59.640 and while I'm here

00:25:01.740 I'm going to ensure

00:25:02.320 that I'm successful

00:25:03.120 to this employer

00:25:04.140 slash client

00:25:05.000 and if I'm not getting

00:25:06.520 what I need

00:25:07.080 to be successful

00:25:07.800 I'm going to go

00:25:08.300 to you Ryan

00:25:08.820 and say hey Ryan

00:25:09.520 for me to be successful

00:25:10.960 in my position here

00:25:12.060 there's a couple things

00:25:13.180 I need from you

00:25:13.880 and I need these things

00:25:15.900 and if I can't get them

00:25:17.160 in time

00:25:17.560 I'm not going to be

00:25:18.240 successful in this role

00:25:19.380 and we address

00:25:21.220 those gaps

00:25:22.420 and we own

00:25:23.940 our employment

00:25:24.700 and we own

00:25:26.040 our services

00:25:27.100 in that way

00:25:28.660 and when you do that

00:25:29.980 you will be a better employee

00:25:31.200 but most importantly

00:25:32.100 you'll be in a position

00:25:33.300 of empowerment

00:25:33.980 and if you're not getting

00:25:35.180 what you need

00:25:35.680 to be successful

00:25:36.400 this is what top

00:25:37.460 top people do

00:25:38.580 they leave

00:25:39.440 because why

00:25:40.740 would I be at a company

00:25:41.840 where I can't be successful

00:25:43.580 in the role

00:25:43.980 because they're unwilling

00:25:44.980 to give me

00:25:45.420 what I need

00:25:45.920 to be successful

00:25:46.660 and you should

00:25:47.880 so I just

00:25:49.900 I keep stretching

00:25:51.700 all the questions

00:25:52.440 to be applicable

00:25:53.040 to more people

00:25:53.700 but I just can't help

00:25:55.300 but think

00:25:56.080 how many of us

00:25:56.900 are victims

00:25:58.200 of our employer

00:25:59.260 and we're sitting back

00:26:01.020 waiting

00:26:01.520 and hoping

00:26:02.140 we get what we need

00:26:03.180 to be successful

00:26:03.980 if you're not

00:26:05.320 address it head on

00:26:06.980 yeah

00:26:08.020 well I wrote

00:26:08.920 I wrote down

00:26:09.780 a couple things

00:26:10.320 as you were saying

00:26:10.860 that number one

00:26:11.480 is every single person

00:26:12.580 who has a job

00:26:13.240 is self-employed

00:26:14.460 absolutely

00:26:15.000 you are self-employed

00:26:16.940 you were deciding

00:26:17.660 to go work for yourself

00:26:19.100 I love that view

00:26:20.000 and I wrote something else

00:26:21.600 here because

00:26:22.280 well you know

00:26:23.480 an example of this

00:26:24.740 would be

00:26:25.240 if I were to say

00:26:26.100 to somebody

00:26:26.600 hey you need

00:26:27.300 to really serve

00:26:27.900 your client

00:26:28.380 somebody in the

00:26:29.020 accounting department

00:26:29.760 of a major law firm

00:26:30.880 for example

00:26:31.460 might say

00:26:32.080 well I don't have clients

00:26:33.520 well absolutely do

00:26:35.620 it's the partners

00:26:36.680 it's the law firm

00:26:37.640 it's the company

00:26:38.860 that is your client

00:26:40.200 to your point

00:26:40.800 and here's one thing

00:26:41.920 I wrote down

00:26:42.460 that I think

00:26:42.960 we really need

00:26:43.720 to make sure

00:26:44.160 we hit on

00:26:44.660 because you said

00:26:45.820 if you don't get

00:26:46.360 what you need

00:26:46.840 you can leave

00:26:47.560 you can only leave

00:26:48.900 assuming that

00:26:49.520 you have another client

00:26:50.440 so as a person

00:26:53.800 who is self-employed

00:26:55.200 which now we've identified

00:26:56.040 as everybody

00:26:56.740 you should always

00:26:57.860 be building out

00:26:58.800 your network

00:26:59.360 if you're

00:27:00.160 an accountant

00:27:01.360 at a major law firm

00:27:02.940 you should be friends

00:27:04.460 with every

00:27:05.300 partner

00:27:06.180 in every

00:27:06.880 single law firm

00:27:07.920 in your area

00:27:08.900 you should be working

00:27:10.620 with other financial

00:27:11.420 planning practices

00:27:12.440 and getting to know them

00:27:13.560 and taking them to lunch

00:27:14.720 and going on golf outings

00:27:16.520 with that

00:27:16.840 you should be networking

00:27:18.060 your tail off

00:27:19.360 not with the expectation

00:27:20.620 that you're going to leave

00:27:22.000 or anything like that

00:27:22.880 but the opportunity

00:27:24.060 so if you decide

00:27:25.260 hey this is not cutting it

00:27:26.500 my client's not getting me

00:27:27.580 what I need

00:27:28.180 and I've got to leave

00:27:29.340 you've got 10 people

00:27:30.860 that you can make a phone call

00:27:32.060 and be back to

00:27:33.180 having a good client

00:27:34.740 in a matter of

00:27:35.680 24 hours

00:27:36.700 so never believe

00:27:38.960 in your quote unquote

00:27:39.800 job security

00:27:40.840 sales guys don't believe 0.99

00:27:42.240 in that

00:27:42.500 they're always out selling

00:27:43.420 well you're a sales guy too

00:27:44.840 you're just not admitting it

00:27:46.380 so make sure you're networking

00:27:48.200 that's the last thing

00:27:49.000 I'll add on to that point

00:27:50.300 I love it

00:27:51.180 all right

00:27:51.640 Daniel Makina

00:27:53.120 do you feel

00:27:54.500 there's long term solution

00:27:56.100 for our country

00:27:56.880 for our country politically

00:27:58.360 it feels like

00:27:59.080 every once in a blue moon

00:28:00.400 we get someone

00:28:01.500 who does some good

00:28:02.440 for our country

00:28:03.120 but is quickly undone

00:28:04.600 by the next administration

00:28:06.060 with so much corruption

00:28:07.500 the country being

00:28:08.600 in 34.4 trillion of debt

00:28:11.380 and a great number

00:28:12.580 of people refusing

00:28:13.540 to wake up

00:28:14.280 to the destruction

00:28:15.060 of our nation

00:28:15.700 it often feels like

00:28:17.440 an unwinnable battle

00:28:19.080 well

00:28:21.780 it's

00:28:22.660 it's yes

00:28:23.360 and

00:28:24.200 generally

00:28:24.880 what's going to happen

00:28:26.000 is that

00:28:27.280 it's going to just

00:28:27.980 continue to get worse

00:28:28.920 until it falls apart

00:28:29.900 like

00:28:30.680 I hate to say that

00:28:32.160 but that's really

00:28:33.040 what ends up happening

00:28:33.960 you know

00:28:34.620 think about how many

00:28:35.340 countries have

00:28:36.280 eroded

00:28:37.140 how many countries

00:28:37.960 have disbanded

00:28:38.740 how many cultures

00:28:39.440 have come

00:28:40.380 and gone to greatness

00:28:41.400 the odds are

00:28:43.420 of that happening

00:28:44.100 is likely

00:28:45.000 something's going to happen

00:28:46.220 whether it's division

00:28:47.180 within the country

00:28:48.140 absorption

00:28:50.100 through another

00:28:50.740 country

00:28:51.540 this is going to happen

00:28:53.600 people don't believe it is

00:28:54.740 unless we can get

00:28:55.780 this thing right

00:28:56.480 and

00:28:57.060 I think we can

00:28:58.340 a couple of things

00:28:59.720 that we need to do

00:29:00.500 are we need to

00:29:01.720 close down the border

00:29:02.660 100%

00:29:04.320 and I'm not saying

00:29:05.680 don't let

00:29:06.240 people in

00:29:07.280 I'm saying

00:29:07.820 close it down

00:29:08.960 and start vetting

00:29:09.920 who is coming

00:29:10.500 into this country

00:29:11.240 we need

00:29:11.800 the biggest

00:29:12.620 the brightest

00:29:13.000 the best

00:29:13.500 now

00:29:14.260 some people will say

00:29:15.440 well that's not what

00:29:16.200 the U.S. was founded on

00:29:17.660 it was founded on

00:29:19.040 give us your poor

00:29:20.440 and your

00:29:21.020 disparaged

00:29:22.360 I can't remember

00:29:22.860 the exact term

00:29:23.640 but here's the difference

00:29:25.520 people who came

00:29:26.880 to this country

00:29:27.580 200

00:29:28.780 300 years ago

00:29:29.780 they were here

00:29:30.860 to actually work

00:29:32.300 to actually contribute

00:29:34.140 to get their piece

00:29:35.780 of the pie

00:29:36.420 that they went

00:29:37.420 and carved out

00:29:38.060 themselves

00:29:38.560 they migrated

00:29:39.800 from the east

00:29:40.560 to the west

00:29:41.160 and they faced

00:29:41.860 you know

00:29:42.980 savage tribes

00:29:44.140 and famine

00:29:44.880 and difficulty

00:29:46.040 and

00:29:46.560 and the natural

00:29:47.900 elements

00:29:48.460 in order to

00:29:49.160 go to somewhere

00:29:50.220 that had never

00:29:50.860 been explored

00:29:51.860 before

00:29:52.240 and to create

00:29:53.440 something

00:29:53.900 for their families

00:29:55.320 and they did it

00:29:56.360 at great risk

00:29:57.240 but when somebody

00:29:58.560 comes into this

00:29:59.180 country now

00:29:59.780 illegally

00:30:00.300 yeah they're here

00:30:01.160 for an opportunity

00:30:01.840 for sure

00:30:02.500 but it's on the back

00:30:04.100 of all of the work

00:30:05.340 that actual Americans

00:30:07.340 have created

00:30:08.460 it's the economy

00:30:10.140 it's the stability

00:30:11.100 it's the infrastructure

00:30:12.760 it's the logistics

00:30:14.200 of this amazing country

00:30:15.800 and that's the distinction

00:30:17.420 is

00:30:18.340 if I

00:30:19.340 if you could guarantee me

00:30:20.520 that somebody was going

00:30:21.240 to come here

00:30:21.660 and work their tail off

00:30:22.700 and you can

00:30:23.380 not guarantee that

00:30:24.940 but you can do that

00:30:25.800 through vetting

00:30:26.540 then that's a person

00:30:28.360 that we want here

00:30:29.240 somebody who's going

00:30:29.900 to participate truly

00:30:31.040 in the American dream

00:30:32.460 but it's not the American dream

00:30:34.360 and it never has been

00:30:35.200 to come here

00:30:35.700 and mooch off everybody 0.99

00:30:36.740 because you can't do it

00:30:37.900 in your own country

00:30:38.700 that's where I take issue

00:30:40.820 so close the borders

00:30:42.000 we also need to make sure

00:30:43.900 that we

00:30:44.680 get a hold

00:30:45.620 of this debt

00:30:46.260 we need to stop

00:30:48.620 acquiring so much debt

00:30:50.660 and there should be

00:30:51.860 accountability

00:30:52.620 that

00:30:53.820 that debt

00:30:55.140 needs to be

00:30:55.600 I'm talking about

00:30:56.380 the national debt

00:30:57.280 there needs to be

00:30:58.260 a national deficit

00:30:59.540 in that debt

00:31:00.300 and here's what I mean

00:31:01.820 when I say deficit

00:31:02.720 because politicians

00:31:03.520 are notorious

00:31:05.020 for their

00:31:05.860 being silver-tongued

00:31:07.340 if we acquire

00:31:09.360 two trillion dollars

00:31:10.420 worth of debt

00:31:11.020 this year

00:31:11.600 and then next year

00:31:13.560 we acquire

00:31:14.460 1.9 trillion

00:31:16.380 dollars of debt

00:31:17.560 this year

00:31:18.040 politicians call

00:31:19.580 that a deficit

00:31:20.220 that's not a deficit

00:31:23.040 we just spent

00:31:24.260 a little less

00:31:25.080 than we did

00:31:25.780 the year before

00:31:26.480 but we're still

00:31:27.400 1.9 trillion

00:31:28.460 more in debt

00:31:29.200 an actual deficit

00:31:31.280 means the deficit

00:31:32.300 went from

00:31:32.860 what is it right now

00:31:33.520 in 2024

00:31:34.620 35 trillion dollars

00:31:37.060 down to

00:31:38.280 33 trillion dollars

00:31:39.960 that's a deficit

00:31:41.300 and if politicians

00:31:43.300 can't do that

00:31:44.020 if our government

00:31:44.640 cannot do that

00:31:45.540 then we should

00:31:46.280 oust every single

00:31:47.240 one of those rats

00:31:48.100 because that's

00:31:49.220 exactly what they are

00:31:50.300 and they're putting

00:31:51.300 that debt

00:31:52.040 on the backs

00:31:53.080 of our children

00:31:53.680 and our grandchildren

00:31:54.500 but yeah

00:31:55.340 we gotta

00:31:55.660 maintain national

00:31:56.920 sovereignty

00:31:57.400 and control

00:31:58.300 of our finances

00:31:59.040 unless we can do

00:31:59.940 that

00:32:00.260 we're done

00:32:01.660 we're done

00:32:02.600 it's just a matter

00:32:03.080 of time

00:32:03.360 at this point

00:32:03.840 a quote by

00:32:04.920 Warren Buffett

00:32:05.840 he was quoted

00:32:07.100 this on CNBC

00:32:08.680 saying that

00:32:11.060 he could end

00:32:11.740 the deficit

00:32:12.340 in five minutes

00:32:13.520 he says

00:32:14.860 you just pass

00:32:15.740 a law that says

00:32:16.460 that anytime

00:32:16.980 there's a deficit

00:32:18.080 more than 3%

00:32:19.140 of GDP

00:32:19.980 all city members

00:32:21.040 of congress

00:32:21.660 are ineligible

00:32:23.260 for re-election

00:32:24.220 done

00:32:26.840 that's actually

00:32:28.360 a good way

00:32:28.800 to do it

00:32:29.260 because

00:32:29.620 the reason

00:32:30.620 that we're

00:32:31.020 in this mess

00:32:31.760 is because

00:32:32.400 they want

00:32:32.940 to get re-elected

00:32:34.260 yeah

00:32:34.460 so they over-promise

00:32:35.700 right

00:32:36.480 I mean Kamala Harris

00:32:37.960 did it just recently

00:32:39.040 she said that

00:32:40.320 we're gonna give

00:32:41.020 I think she's

00:32:42.100 I think she

00:32:42.700 narrowed it down

00:32:43.720 specifically

00:32:44.300 to black

00:32:45.400 business owners

00:32:46.580 or maybe just

00:32:47.800 black people

00:32:48.260 in general

00:32:48.800 a $20,000

00:32:50.800 forgivable loan

00:32:51.880 what

00:32:53.280 what now

00:32:53.820 like first

00:32:54.340 that's illegal

00:32:54.860 so there's no way

00:32:56.320 that's gonna fly

00:32:57.040 second

00:32:57.900 it's not the government's

00:32:59.160 job to give people

00:33:00.100 money

00:33:00.440 you know what

00:33:00.800 you could do

00:33:01.380 give everybody

00:33:02.540 a $20,000

00:33:03.700 tax credit

00:33:04.400 or maybe

00:33:05.480 a 5%

00:33:06.180 tax credit

00:33:06.900 or maybe

00:33:07.580 reduce all

00:33:08.360 of that taxation

00:33:09.140 that you're

00:33:10.100 imposing on people

00:33:11.060 and let them

00:33:11.640 deal with their money

00:33:12.380 the way they best

00:33:13.020 see fit

00:33:13.520 but it's these

00:33:14.700 programs that we

00:33:15.600 keep putting in

00:33:16.260 place

00:33:16.520 Medicare

00:33:17.020 Medicare

00:33:17.900 and Social Security

00:33:19.080 are bankrupting

00:33:20.200 this country

00:33:20.760 and no politician

00:33:22.220 can vote against it

00:33:23.080 because the minute

00:33:23.660 they do

00:33:24.240 all the baby boomers 1.00

00:33:25.800 start getting up in arms

00:33:27.540 and teary-eyed

00:33:28.540 about it

00:33:29.100 because they don't

00:33:30.520 want to lose

00:33:30.900 their benefits

00:33:31.500 they work so hard for

00:33:32.660 sure they don't care

00:33:33.560 about the remaining

00:33:35.100 generations of this

00:33:36.120 great country

00:33:36.720 but no politician

00:33:37.920 can even touch it

00:33:38.980 because they won't

00:33:40.740 get voted again

00:33:41.480 well that's a great

00:33:42.820 way to end that

00:33:43.680 problem is if you

00:33:44.520 don't touch it

00:33:45.180 you won't get voted

00:33:45.900 because you're not

00:33:46.400 eligible for re-election

00:33:47.340 and thus they don't

00:33:48.460 make the tough

00:33:49.120 decisions

00:33:50.480 and have the

00:33:52.600 difficult conversations

00:33:53.460 and continue to

00:33:54.600 over-promise

00:33:55.240 and then just

00:33:56.400 under-deliver

00:33:57.040 as politicians

00:33:58.260 one thing that

00:33:59.540 you mentioned

00:34:00.020 Ryan that I think

00:34:00.780 is fascinating

00:34:01.560 that we need to

00:34:02.220 remember is

00:34:02.780 you can't

00:34:03.780 have a welfare

00:34:04.660 state

00:34:05.260 and an open

00:34:06.400 border

00:34:06.760 those two things

00:34:08.660 are absolutely

00:34:09.700 in conflict

00:34:10.320 one another

00:34:10.800 we use the

00:34:11.540 example of

00:34:12.360 in the early

00:34:13.060 you know

00:34:13.800 founding areas

00:34:14.640 of this country

00:34:15.360 there was no

00:34:16.640 handout

00:34:17.200 people came here

00:34:19.460 for literally

00:34:20.200 one reason

00:34:20.920 it was to

00:34:22.240 claim land

00:34:23.040 and to have

00:34:23.860 freedom

00:34:24.260 that's it

00:34:25.800 no one was

00:34:27.100 going to save

00:34:27.900 them

00:34:28.160 no one was

00:34:29.440 giving them

00:34:29.960 handouts

00:34:30.560 the difference

00:34:32.220 now we have

00:34:32.960 government systems

00:34:33.740 that will

00:34:34.380 will take care

00:34:35.060 of you

00:34:35.340 we have all

00:34:36.120 all kinds

00:34:36.720 of handouts

00:34:37.360 and you

00:34:38.240 have an

00:34:38.480 open border

00:34:39.040 that doesn't

00:34:39.620 work

00:34:40.120 like those

00:34:42.160 two

00:34:42.360 items

00:34:43.640 will compete

00:34:44.260 with each

00:34:44.640 other in a

00:34:45.080 very negative

00:34:45.640 way

00:34:46.020 I'll give you

00:34:47.580 an example

00:34:48.040 my girlfriend

00:34:48.900 and I

00:34:49.120 earlier in the

00:34:49.640 year we

00:34:49.960 went down

00:34:50.400 to Del Rio

00:34:51.580 we went

00:34:52.080 and hunted

00:34:52.420 down there

00:34:52.920 but we

00:34:53.240 ended up

00:34:53.600 driving down

00:34:54.120 to Del Rio

00:34:54.600 to grab

00:34:54.980 some lunch

00:34:55.540 and we

00:34:56.520 were talking

00:34:56.980 with one

00:34:57.340 of the guys

00:34:57.720 that we hunt

00:34:58.100 with he's

00:34:58.460 the outfitter

00:34:58.960 guide there

00:34:59.540 and he said

00:35:00.020 hey did you

00:35:00.420 see anybody

00:35:00.900 in Del Rio

00:35:01.460 with a yellow

00:35:02.220 folder I believe

00:35:03.160 and I was like

00:35:04.740 a yellow

00:35:05.060 folder no

00:35:06.000 I don't

00:35:06.900 think so

00:35:07.480 like neither

00:35:08.020 of us

00:35:08.300 had seen

00:35:08.820 that

00:35:09.120 and he said

00:35:09.900 oh I said

00:35:10.680 what does that

00:35:11.060 what does that

00:35:11.460 mean he's like

00:35:12.260 oh if they

00:35:12.680 have a yellow

00:35:13.200 folder it means

00:35:13.920 they just

00:35:14.340 crossed into

00:35:14.900 the country

00:35:15.360 and that's

00:35:15.740 all their

00:35:16.060 documentation

00:35:16.780 along with

00:35:18.060 their $1400

00:35:19.280 check just

00:35:20.540 for coming

00:35:21.040 across the

00:35:21.580 border

00:35:21.840 what are we

00:35:23.660 doing

00:35:24.060 what are we

00:35:26.200 doing

00:35:26.700 and it's

00:35:27.520 that if

00:35:28.120 that's all

00:35:28.620 it was

00:35:29.060 we could

00:35:29.560 manage that

00:35:30.160 but that's

00:35:30.560 not all

00:35:31.140 it is

00:35:31.520 it is

00:35:32.140 such a

00:35:32.600 strain

00:35:33.120 on the

00:35:34.000 backs

00:35:34.300 of hard

00:35:34.760 working

00:35:35.060 Americans

00:35:35.560 and nobody

00:35:36.860 seems to

00:35:37.380 care about

00:35:37.820 it at the

00:35:38.160 levels where

00:35:38.640 they can

00:35:38.860 actually do

00:35:39.340 something about

00:35:39.940 it

00:35:40.180 yeah

00:35:40.980 all right

00:35:43.140 Joe Gunter

00:35:44.340 can you meet

00:35:45.700 your goals

00:35:46.340 without some

00:35:47.100 form of

00:35:47.740 spirituality

00:35:48.360 sure

00:35:51.260 goals are

00:35:52.240 amoral

00:35:52.800 yeah

00:35:53.860 why do you

00:35:54.940 think Joe

00:35:55.320 asked that

00:35:55.800 question

00:35:56.180 school shooters

00:35:57.540 going to

00:35:58.680 shoot up

00:35:59.640 schools and

00:36:00.160 kill kids

00:36:00.700 that's a

00:36:01.020 goal

00:36:01.280 yeah

00:36:02.460 your goal

00:36:03.080 your goals

00:36:03.740 are amoral

00:36:04.440 so you can

00:36:05.200 complete any

00:36:05.900 goal you

00:36:07.240 know that

00:36:07.580 that you

00:36:07.940 I guess put

00:36:08.680 your mind

00:36:09.020 to you

00:36:10.000 don't it's

00:36:10.420 not spirituality

00:36:11.020 is not

00:36:11.380 required

00:36:11.880 now I would

00:36:13.900 say I

00:36:15.460 think in the

00:36:15.880 spirit of the

00:36:16.460 way that

00:36:16.940 you're asking

00:36:17.480 it I

00:36:18.620 think goals

00:36:19.560 ought to be

00:36:20.040 virtuous I

00:36:22.040 think they

00:36:22.380 ought to be

00:36:23.020 moral and

00:36:23.780 righteous

00:36:24.180 pursuits

00:36:24.940 but I don't

00:36:26.360 think that

00:36:26.960 it's

00:36:27.420 exclusive to

00:36:28.460 righteous

00:36:28.880 pursuits

00:36:29.420 but as

00:36:30.340 a man who

00:36:30.840 is trying

00:36:31.260 to do

00:36:31.580 good and

00:36:32.040 be good

00:36:32.480 and be a

00:36:32.860 moral upstanding

00:36:33.440 person then

00:36:34.760 for me having

00:36:36.340 an element of

00:36:36.980 spirituality knowing

00:36:38.120 that even the

00:36:38.940 decisions I make

00:36:39.700 today are going

00:36:41.340 to play impacts

00:36:42.680 not only in this

00:36:43.360 life but the

00:36:44.000 next keeps me a

00:36:46.120 little bit more

00:36:46.660 in check

00:36:47.200 yeah

00:36:48.200 so I think

00:36:49.700 something that's

00:36:50.360 bigger than

00:36:50.780 ourselves is

00:36:51.500 crucial having a

00:36:53.360 moral compass

00:36:54.140 because if you

00:36:54.880 don't have that

00:36:55.420 moral compass

00:36:56.220 and by the

00:36:57.480 way I've

00:36:58.060 really debated

00:36:58.620 on this with

00:36:59.160 atheists like 0.99

00:36:59.800 do they have a

00:37:00.120 moral compass

00:37:00.600 and I'm going

00:37:01.280 to get to that

00:37:01.700 in a second 0.78

00:37:02.180 but if you

00:37:03.180 don't have a

00:37:03.640 moral compass

00:37:04.380 nothing matters

00:37:05.940 and you're going

00:37:07.040 to rob steal

00:37:07.880 cheat do

00:37:09.040 whatever you

00:37:09.480 can to get

00:37:10.700 out ahead of

00:37:11.340 whatever you

00:37:11.900 want so

00:37:13.620 yeah I think

00:37:14.200 it's not

00:37:15.780 required but I

00:37:17.040 think we ought

00:37:17.920 to have an

00:37:18.560 element of

00:37:19.380 spirituality built

00:37:20.800 into our plan

00:37:21.480 that's what keeps

00:37:22.280 us moving in

00:37:23.220 the right

00:37:23.480 direction

00:37:23.980 what were your

00:37:26.480 comments on

00:37:27.060 atheists 1.00

00:37:27.700 oh yeah I've

00:37:29.640 often wondered

00:37:30.340 for years

00:37:31.100 and this is the

00:37:32.060 debate you know

00:37:32.920 if atheists don't 1.00

00:37:33.680 believe in God

00:37:34.360 do they have a

00:37:34.860 sense of morality

00:37:35.580 well I know

00:37:36.520 plenty of

00:37:37.100 atheists and 0.81

00:37:38.680 agnostics who

00:37:39.700 have a deep

00:37:40.480 sense of morality

00:37:41.240 I would trust

00:37:41.760 them with my

00:37:42.300 kids I would

00:37:42.920 I could leave

00:37:43.580 my my safe

00:37:45.340 open right here

00:37:46.060 with ten

00:37:46.600 thousand dollars

00:37:47.160 of cash and

00:37:47.780 I could trust

00:37:48.340 them to house

00:37:49.080 sit for me and

00:37:49.740 not have to worry

00:37:50.440 about my guns or

00:37:51.260 money like I

00:37:53.120 think it's still

00:37:53.780 for an atheist

00:37:54.580 it that sense of

00:37:56.320 morality is still

00:37:57.220 there and you

00:37:58.380 might say that

00:37:59.220 oh well it's a

00:37:59.900 cultural sense of

00:38:00.920 morality they

00:38:01.360 wouldn't do it

00:38:01.860 because they'd get

00:38:02.400 in trouble that

00:38:03.360 might be part of

00:38:04.280 a reason we would

00:38:04.980 we all do that

00:38:05.940 right for example

00:38:07.140 speeding I would

00:38:08.760 speed everywhere and

00:38:09.740 I'd go 20 miles an

00:38:10.740 hour over everywhere

00:38:11.740 if I didn't think

00:38:12.540 that there was a

00:38:13.000 cop around the

00:38:13.620 corner so all of

00:38:14.580 us do that yeah

00:38:15.680 so I think it

00:38:17.340 really is just

00:38:18.460 inherent in us as

00:38:20.940 human beings and

00:38:21.980 I believe in some

00:38:22.960 instances it can

00:38:24.340 be overridden

00:38:25.120 through learning

00:38:27.760 and I'm not

00:38:28.800 saying this is a

00:38:29.260 good thing but it

00:38:30.380 can be over that

00:38:31.060 sense of morality

00:38:31.720 can be overridden

00:38:32.540 through learning and

00:38:33.620 brainwashing and

00:38:35.260 exposure to certain

00:38:37.260 things it can be

00:38:40.300 ignored you can

00:38:41.680 certainly ignore it

00:38:42.520 if you choose to

00:38:43.240 but ultimately I

00:38:45.520 think it's there

00:38:46.180 inherent in all of

00:38:48.020 us yeah I agree

00:38:50.200 Charles Phillips has

00:38:52.220 a question you know

00:38:53.360 around advice for

00:38:54.460 guys returning to

00:38:55.440 the Iron Council

00:38:56.240 and Charles I'm

00:38:57.180 going to add to

00:38:57.720 your question just

00:38:58.500 so because a lot

00:38:59.520 of our listeners

00:38:59.940 may not be a part

00:39:00.940 of the IC so maybe

00:39:02.840 said another way

00:39:03.640 what advice do you

00:39:04.680 have for someone

00:39:05.700 getting back on the

00:39:07.440 path of getting

00:39:09.860 their life in order

00:39:10.820 being goal focused

00:39:12.380 and trying to

00:39:13.580 improve them improve

00:39:14.840 their lives well

00:39:16.680 let me give you a

00:39:17.720 different example

00:39:18.520 and it might seem

00:39:19.140 silly at first but

00:39:20.100 I think it'll

00:39:20.580 underscore the

00:39:21.700 concept here let's

00:39:24.260 say it's Friday

00:39:26.020 afternoon and you

00:39:27.860 look in the mirror

00:39:28.560 and you're like man

00:39:29.560 I don't look good

00:39:30.460 I'm putting on some

00:39:31.220 weight I'm not

00:39:32.040 looking real good

00:39:33.020 on Monday I'm

00:39:34.960 going to go back

00:39:35.400 to the gym I'm

00:39:37.600 going to go back

00:39:37.980 on Monday and I'm

00:39:38.880 going to get after

00:39:39.320 it yeah okay

00:39:40.220 that's that's fine

00:39:41.600 Monday very common

00:39:42.620 right okay so let's

00:39:45.680 let's just for the

00:39:46.800 sake of argument say

00:39:47.620 you cannot go to

00:39:49.400 the gym until

00:39:49.920 Monday the question

00:39:52.620 then is what do

00:39:53.220 you do until

00:39:53.640 Monday do you just

00:39:55.020 eat everything do

00:39:56.240 you slack off are

00:39:57.380 you lazy do you do

00:39:58.520 nothing or do you

00:39:59.880 like just double

00:40:02.260 down you start

00:40:03.400 eating clean on

00:40:04.700 Friday night Saturday

00:40:05.940 and Sunday you go

00:40:07.820 for a walk with your

00:40:08.860 family you go for a

00:40:10.200 hike because there's a 0.99

00:40:10.940 mountain out there you

00:40:12.340 do some push-ups when

00:40:13.320 you roll out of bed if

00:40:14.400 you were serious

00:40:15.200 about it you would

00:40:16.500 do what would be

00:40:17.240 needed to be done

00:40:17.980 right now and so

00:40:19.520 when it comes to the

00:40:20.900 iron council or going

00:40:23.540 to the gym or improving

00:40:24.920 your family situation or

00:40:26.220 looking for a new job the

00:40:27.660 answer is always do what

00:40:29.880 you can right now do

00:40:32.300 what you can right now

00:40:33.660 and then on Monday when

00:40:34.620 that gym comes available

00:40:35.560 you better get your butt 0.94

00:40:36.600 into the gym but

00:40:37.580 there's plenty that you

00:40:38.300 can do right now and

00:40:39.620 so for guys coming into

00:40:41.320 the iron council the

00:40:42.160 question is what should

00:40:43.300 we do well we have the

00:40:44.400 systems you do the

00:40:45.380 system it's not really

00:40:47.400 even a question even if

00:40:49.380 you're a returning

00:40:49.900 member do the system so

00:40:53.900 I don't really know what

00:40:55.260 to say other than that

00:40:56.340 sometimes people think

00:40:57.580 it's not enough or

00:40:58.500 maybe there's something

00:40:59.100 different no it's just

00:41:01.300 do the system and

00:41:02.380 sometimes the system

00:41:03.360 isn't sexy you know

00:41:04.960 when you go into the

00:41:05.600 gym and you hire a 0.98

00:41:06.380 personal trainer and he

00:41:07.320 says do this many reps 0.91

00:41:08.420 this many times and this

00:41:09.840 much weight and you're

00:41:11.620 gonna do that five days

00:41:12.480 a week for the next two

00:41:13.740 months that's gonna get

00:41:16.340 tiresome but but do

00:41:17.780 that that's what works

00:41:19.400 I know it's not sexy I

00:41:20.940 know it's not exciting

00:41:21.800 but that's not really

00:41:23.740 what we're after we're

00:41:24.560 after results so do the

00:41:25.840 system but until you get

00:41:26.960 to the system do

00:41:28.240 everything else that you

00:41:29.020 can yeah and in the

00:41:30.900 live chat Rick Rick

00:41:32.260 asked the question you

00:41:33.480 know when is enrollment

00:41:34.480 for the iron council

00:41:35.380 open again that's more

00:41:37.300 likely going to be

00:41:37.940 December 15th Rick you

00:41:41.120 know roughly half a

00:41:42.380 month before the

00:41:43.720 beginning of Q1 yes

00:41:45.800 yep that's right we

00:41:47.400 usually do that we open

00:41:48.600 up every single quarter

00:41:49.800 and but enrollment

00:41:51.120 starts two weeks before

00:41:52.820 the quarter so we have a

00:41:53.800 two-week open enrollment

00:41:54.640 window so that'll be

00:41:55.540 December 15th ish yeah

00:41:57.720 something you said Ryan

00:41:59.640 that that I think is

00:42:00.860 profound you know we

00:42:03.020 use the example of you

00:42:04.460 know Charles coming into

00:42:05.580 the iron council or goal

00:42:07.220 setting or getting our

00:42:08.840 our fitness in in check

00:42:10.480 but some of us are might

00:42:13.800 be sitting in jobs that

00:42:16.220 we don't enjoy right and

00:42:18.720 we're trying to find the

00:42:20.200 new job right or we just

00:42:22.560 got divorced and we're

00:42:23.320 trying to find the the

00:42:25.360 next thing right like

00:42:26.700 there's there's there's

00:42:28.120 examples of kind of being

00:42:30.920 where we are not an ideal

00:42:32.560 state and looking for

00:42:34.500 something better and you

00:42:36.560 said there's power in

00:42:39.000 addressing it where you

00:42:40.200 are and we've mentioned

00:42:41.260 this multiple times on

00:42:42.640 the podcast and and I

00:42:44.660 and I think it would be

00:42:46.220 valuable for us to remind

00:42:47.500 guys like even if it's

00:42:49.320 the scenario of job the

00:42:51.140 answer is the same oh

00:42:53.300 man I really hate this

00:42:54.300 job I got to get out of

00:42:55.380 here okay yeah but until

00:42:57.340 then when where you are

00:42:59.840 like kill it where you 0.95

00:43:02.800 are be amazing where you

00:43:04.640 are far too often I

00:43:06.460 think we're constantly

00:43:08.160 looking for the thing to

00:43:09.540 change for us to show up

00:43:11.320 in a in a great way and

00:43:13.580 we're we're losing out on

00:43:15.600 all the opportunities to

00:43:17.720 grow where we are and the

00:43:20.560 unfortunate part is it's

00:43:21.700 probably on the backside of

00:43:23.040 doing all the shitty work

00:43:24.240 that you don't want to do

00:43:25.560 and that's the very thing

00:43:27.580 you should do to set up

00:43:29.480 the next step for you in

00:43:31.860 life and and that

00:43:33.560 principle is transcendent

00:43:34.800 across you know new jobs

00:43:36.800 new career getting to the

00:43:38.260 gym or even you know

00:43:40.620 looking for a better

00:43:41.360 relationship if you can't

00:43:43.140 like win where you are

00:43:44.300 there there's huge power

00:43:45.560 in that there's a quote

00:43:47.380 that I really like by

00:43:48.160 Teddy Roosevelt that says

00:43:49.180 do what you can with what

00:43:50.360 you have where you are

00:43:51.460 it's as simple as that

00:43:53.040 and speaking of that on

00:43:54.880 the subject of

00:43:55.840 relationships we had a

00:43:57.480 guy in the iron council

00:43:58.480 who is on the verge a

00:44:01.380 little bit of whether or

00:44:02.380 not he wants to continue

00:44:03.880 in in a marriage and it's

00:44:05.380 a pretty lengthy marriage

00:44:07.140 but they've had some real

00:44:08.380 problems over the past

00:44:09.380 years and it sounds like

00:44:11.980 she really wants to work

00:44:13.220 on things and he's kind of

00:44:15.540 on the fence a little bit

00:44:17.000 as to whether or not he

00:44:17.980 does but he said that he

00:44:19.620 would and I had a

00:44:21.120 conversation with him last

00:44:22.180 week and he's trying to

00:44:23.500 decide do I stay in the

00:44:24.420 marriage do I not I said

00:44:25.280 you know stop for a sec

00:44:26.420 because the first thing that

00:44:27.880 you need to do is go all

00:44:29.640 in yeah because you

00:44:31.320 haven't and and the way

00:44:33.120 that he was saying things

00:44:34.300 and the way he was talking

00:44:35.120 about it is he said I

00:44:36.240 would but he was I said

00:44:38.340 you go all in first and

00:44:39.800 then do that for a couple

00:44:41.540 of months and then let's

00:44:42.880 talk but we're not going

00:44:44.160 to make decisions until you

00:44:46.120 actually go all in and

00:44:47.820 stop riding the riding the

00:44:49.640 fence now I would love in

00:44:52.400 the next two months for him

00:44:53.480 to come but I don't know

00:44:54.180 if this will happen but it

00:44:56.100 has happened in the past for

00:44:57.540 him to come to me and

00:44:58.360 say hey man you know

00:45:01.040 what I actually want to

00:45:02.800 continue to work on this

00:45:03.680 relationship I was halfway

00:45:05.540 in halfway out you told me

00:45:07.280 to go all in so I did and

00:45:09.480 I can actually see

00:45:10.140 improvement in my

00:45:10.900 relationship and that's

00:45:12.460 kind of the ironic thing

00:45:13.620 is that you might not be

00:45:15.120 happy with a relationship

00:45:16.360 or a job that you have

00:45:17.560 right now but you're

00:45:18.860 sitting on the fence

00:45:19.660 you're not doing the work

00:45:20.540 that needs to be done and

00:45:21.340 so you think the grass is

00:45:22.420 greener over there but if

00:45:23.980 you go all in with where

00:45:25.060 you currently are in many

00:45:26.320 cases you'll find that you

00:45:28.500 were the problem it wasn't

00:45:31.140 the job it wasn't your

00:45:32.920 wife it was you and when 1.00

00:45:35.300 you fixed yourself your

00:45:37.380 wife your job your economic

00:45:39.580 situation and your life

00:45:41.460 changed as a result of the

00:45:44.280 influence you had on it and

00:45:46.820 maybe it's not as good as

00:45:47.980 where it needs to be because

00:45:48.960 you're not as good as you

00:45:50.220 need to be or can be so go

00:45:52.660 all in first and then we can

00:45:54.060 talk about quitting changing

00:45:55.200 transferring divorcing all

00:45:56.760 that kind of stuff later go

00:45:58.340 all in first absolutely

00:46:00.300 woody lord three ways money

00:46:04.120 can buy happiness is by

00:46:05.700 eliminating discomfort

00:46:06.920 improving health and

00:46:08.400 increasing freedom what are

00:46:10.620 some things you guys have

00:46:11.720 spent money on that was

00:46:12.940 well worth it or had a great

00:46:14.700 ROI in your personal life

00:46:16.500 what were the three again

00:46:19.220 eliminating discomfort

00:46:21.340 improving health and

00:46:23.980 increasing freedom I would

00:46:29.200 definitely say discomfort and

00:46:30.740 health I don't know about

00:46:32.460 excuse me discomfort and

00:46:34.080 freedom freedom the health

00:46:37.100 thing I don't know I mean you

00:46:38.940 can maybe buy some better

00:46:39.880 groceries you could get a gym

00:46:41.800 membership but you still have

00:46:42.800 to go do it right yeah yeah

00:46:44.820 so I don't know I don't I

00:46:47.700 don't really chase happiness I

00:46:49.120 don't I want to be happy sure as

00:46:51.440 a byproduct of me having a

00:46:52.720 fulfilling life but I don't I

00:46:54.820 don't really chase after that and

00:46:56.660 maybe we're just getting into

00:46:57.800 some semantical differences yeah

00:46:59.420 I'd much rather chase

00:47:00.460 fulfillment so in the spirit of

00:47:02.160 the question that you asked for

00:47:03.900 me spending money on a vacation

00:47:05.580 with the people that I love is

00:47:08.120 well worth it to me if I can get

00:47:10.520 away like my girlfriend and I we

00:47:11.760 got away to Vegas this weekend and

00:47:13.400 we did a cool hike and we went and

00:47:15.000 saw the sphere in Vegas and we just

00:47:17.620 had to really walk the strip and

00:47:20.080 Fremont Street and saw the

00:47:21.280 weirdos like it was a really good

00:47:22.680 time and it was well worth the

00:47:24.100 money that I spent to go down

00:47:25.400 there and enjoy that with her yeah

00:47:27.420 if I'm gonna take my son my oldest

00:47:29.520 son hunting with me you know we

00:47:31.840 went to Africa a couple of months

00:47:33.660 ago and to do that with him man I

00:47:36.420 remember a smile I remember the

00:47:37.900 conversations that we had and all

00:47:40.420 of that brought me yes a sense of

00:47:41.900 happiness but fulfillment as well

00:47:43.400 because I was able to fulfill and

00:47:45.740 realize some dreams and goals that

00:47:47.540 he's had since he was two since the

00:47:50.520 time he could talk so investing in

00:47:53.140 those trips with loved ones is really

00:47:55.820 valuable for me the other one is

00:47:57.680 investing in my own self-development

00:48:01.940 so a gym membership would certainly

00:48:04.080 fall into that yeah if I if I get

00:48:06.900 that I have that gym membership and I

00:48:08.500 go and I work out I'm stronger I feel

00:48:12.280 better about myself I'm healthier I

00:48:14.740 have more energy more clarity more

00:48:16.520 drive more focus maybe it's a course

00:48:19.440 that I need to buy on how to market

00:48:23.560 on tick-tock better or something you

00:48:26.040 know buying something that's gonna

00:48:27.480 help me develop and get better in

00:48:30.040 every facet of life has always proven

00:48:31.960 to pay dividends so I would say

00:48:33.480 that's the two places that I spend the

00:48:37.720 most money that brings the most

00:48:39.280 fulfillment and happiness to my life

00:48:40.700 yeah I'm same way I mean it's it's

00:48:44.700 you know France with the family was

00:48:46.900 that last summer summer before last

00:48:48.980 it's you know trips to Hawaii like as

00:48:53.040 silly as it is like you know my

00:48:54.900 ability to to put money to train to go

00:48:58.460 do jiu-jitsu is is not silly at all

00:49:00.820 major investment for me that like is so

00:49:03.620 worth it why do you say that silly

00:49:05.900 just out of curiosity no like just how

00:49:09.480 meaningful that is right like that is

00:49:12.680 so meaningful like it's not like oh

00:49:15.380 you learned some martial arts it's like

00:49:17.020 no like it's so part and so valuable to

00:49:21.180 my life like I'd pay even way more

00:49:24.220 money than I pay for what so what you're

00:49:26.460 saying is that it's not silly to you but

00:49:28.820 from the outside looking in it may seem

00:49:30.700 silly yeah yeah absolutely to people who

00:49:33.160 have never done it and it doesn't have

00:49:34.420 to be martial arts but it could be

00:49:35.960 hunting for me it's hunting yeah I'll do

00:49:38.180 that the way you do that with jiu-jitsu

00:49:39.980 I'll do that with hunting yeah and

00:49:42.380 people like oh I can't believe you

00:49:43.500 spend that much time and money yeah

00:49:45.020 because you don't like it the way you

00:49:47.020 Alan comes to mind he he races RC cars

00:49:50.540 yeah across the country like he has an

00:49:53.280 RV where him and his wife will load up

00:49:55.300 and they'll go get an RC like go race

00:49:58.200 other grown men with RC cars and it

00:50:01.280 sounds silly it does super sound silly

00:50:04.020 yeah because it's not our thing it's

00:50:06.660 not silly to him he loves like he finds

00:50:09.500 so much fulfillment in it yeah yeah and

00:50:12.060 I think that's awesome find your thing

00:50:13.580 whatever it is yeah totally the only

00:50:15.740 thing I'd add is time flexibility of

00:50:20.340 time and I've shared that before right

00:50:22.800 that's that's probably what wealth has

00:50:25.920 that's the increasing freedom is time the

00:50:31.560 margin and the ability to to not be stuck

00:50:34.880 in a grind of a nine-to-five the ability

00:50:37.380 to have flexibility to then experience

00:50:40.240 things because some guys might be

00:50:41.700 listening it's like well you know I'm not

00:50:43.940 in a position to fly to Africa I can't

00:50:46.740 take my wife my family to France for two

00:50:50.000 months yeah but you know what you can do

00:50:51.900 is hike the mountain together to go camping

00:50:55.880 together and trust me those experiences are

00:50:58.980 amazing and they don't take much money but

00:51:01.860 they require time yeah and so I think

00:51:05.740 financial freedom is more about my my

00:51:08.220 availability of time probably more than

00:51:10.180 it is anything else I would agree with

00:51:13.640 your time I would also agree with your own

00:51:16.200 mental well-being I'll give you a little

00:51:18.040 bit of a counterintuitive example that

00:51:19.680 hits mental well-being and time completely

00:51:21.960 counterintuitive and I never would have

00:51:23.580 done this two three years ago when I move

00:51:25.740 back to southern Utah I've got a home about

00:51:29.020 15 20 minutes from where I live right now

00:51:31.320 and I was considering it but it was being

00:51:33.840 rented out we have a property manager they

00:51:36.240 are renting it out and I told the property

00:51:38.220 manager hey I'm moving back I'm gonna we're

00:51:40.660 gonna have to have the tenants leave I'm

00:51:43.440 gonna move back when the lease expires and

00:51:45.140 he got it all taken care of and the more I

00:51:46.740 thought about it I'm like man this is cash

00:51:48.320 flowing like it's doing well I'll be a

00:51:51.040 little further away from the kids I don't

00:51:52.640 want to have that so I was gonna buy a

00:51:55.220 house but with everything that was going

00:51:57.640 on in my life at the time buying a house

00:51:59.440 it just it was a lot it was really

00:52:01.040 overwhelming and daunting and so I decided

00:52:03.240 to rent and so I found this really great

00:52:05.480 great place and it's the place that I'm in

00:52:07.120 right now and you know here's my here's my

00:52:10.700 monthly payment and utilities are included

00:52:13.480 electric and internet's included I don't have

00:52:17.660 to mow the lawn or the back lawn none of

00:52:19.660 that stuff is that they take care of that my

00:52:22.960 neighbors are great I love my neighbors they

00:52:26.100 look after my dog when I'm away like I've

00:52:28.580 live in a great place and three years ago I

00:52:31.300 never would have said oh yeah we you should

00:52:32.980 rent and now I'm like I don't know if I

00:52:35.300 ever want to leave my garbage disposal last

00:52:38.280 week went out and I called the landlord I'm

00:52:40.460 like hey the garbage disposals out he's like

00:52:41.840 cool I'll send somebody over in the next

00:52:43.700 couple days guy came over friendly guy

00:52:46.240 replaced the thing and he's like see you

00:52:48.440 later he didn't hand me an invoice I didn't

00:52:50.300 need to give him a check he took that up

00:52:52.240 with the landlord I'm like this is kind of

00:52:53.960 nice actually and so it's a little

00:52:56.340 counterintuitive and I'm not saying

00:52:57.700 everybody should own or rent or whatever

00:52:59.320 figure out what works for you but for me

00:53:01.280 not having to worry about that I'm actually

00:53:05.000 in the market for a house right now but a

00:53:06.880 rental not something I'm gonna live in

00:53:08.860 another rental property because I kind of

00:53:11.740 like this arrangement just for my own mental

00:53:14.940 well-being I can focus on other things that

00:53:17.520 are way more important than fixing the garbage

00:53:19.220 disposal in my house well and it and it goes

00:53:21.840 back to the book one of my favorite books on

00:53:24.320 this is essentialism it's like time and what

00:53:27.480 I'm hearing you say Ryan is is energy like

00:53:30.560 where are we spending our energy and and I

00:53:33.580 don't know about like when we lived in New

00:53:35.180 York I lived in New York for a couple years we

00:53:37.360 had this small apartment lower Manhattan and

00:53:41.660 it was simplistic why because the shoes I had in

00:53:45.100 my closet were the ones they wore the clothes

00:53:47.140 that I had were the clothes that I wore the the

00:53:49.620 groceries that we shopped for were the groceries

00:53:51.480 that we ate mm-hmm like it was so nice because I

00:53:56.460 didn't have this freaking garage with a bunch of

00:53:58.760 shit that I never use that I'm managing that it's

00:54:02.960 like all this energy just distracting me and it's

00:54:07.860 like this burden you know I've heard this earlier this

00:54:12.280 year but like and it's really been present for me

00:54:15.020 too is like a lot of my mental happiness is really

00:54:20.240 around energy management not time it's energy

00:54:24.360 management and what's sucking my energy and

00:54:27.920 sometimes just having so much crap that I never use is

00:54:32.360 like one of the most like the biggest sucker of my

00:54:35.240 energy yeah it's the adage what you own owns you

00:54:39.460 totally it's so true yeah do we have any uh comments

00:54:43.900 in the chat that we need to go through before we get

00:54:45.540 to the next question I on I see um no no just Rick

00:54:51.260 kind of pinging guys saying hey you should join the

00:54:53.320 I see if you're not already nice thank you that Rick

00:54:57.040 yeah uh Joe Marino he's curious man knife Montana

00:55:01.380 knife knife company fan he's curious particularly

00:55:04.500 which which one that uh that you own oh which one did he

00:55:09.560 say it that way which one uh which knives he is he did

00:55:14.460 assume that it was more than one so good job there Joe

00:55:17.120 you're you're correct so I so here's what I own I own the

00:55:20.660 stub horn the flat tail uh oh hold on we got to get back to

00:55:25.180 the rest of them and then I'll give you some real uh let me do

00:55:29.860 this they're they're in the safe with his 10k and all his guns

00:55:35.120 that's right so the speed go the magna cut speed go the black

00:55:39.360 foot the stone wall the super cub oh I don't know that one

00:55:45.980 the jackstone I don't know that one the marshal the bear

00:55:49.220 tooth I own them all I have the culinary set I have all of

00:55:52.360 them there's actually a few I don't have that I'd like to get

00:55:56.200 here uh but you know what I'll give you some input here let me

00:56:00.600 just pull this up oh I don't have their fillet knife either I

00:56:03.220 need to get a fillet knife uh the one that I like I like the

00:56:06.760 speed goat that's a very small that's the one you took

00:56:10.280 hunting right was the speed probably I take that one hunting

00:56:13.360 quite a bit yeah it's just nice it's small it's versatile it's

00:56:17.400 very thin it's very lightweight I think he asked if that's the

00:56:20.620 one that I carry around personally yeah as well it's either

00:56:24.360 that or the war goat which is their tactical blade that's a new

00:56:27.320 one I just got but I really really like the speed goat for

00:56:30.280 that um the stone wall is probably one of my favorite knives and

00:56:36.040 the stone wall is great for skinning uh breaking down me sure I

00:56:42.080 still would probably go to the speed goat I'm breaking it down

00:56:44.180 because it's smaller and you can get better cuts um but yeah I

00:56:47.760 would say between the stone wall or the speed goat you'd be

00:56:50.720 pretty pretty set but yeah I I love them all man I've got so

00:56:55.040 many deeper Montana knife knives we need to you you since you have

00:57:00.800 the influence you need to get him to have you seen kind of

00:57:04.000 knives like grappling knives have you seen those oh yeah like uh

00:57:09.000 with a kind of like the thumb yeah and it's like curved like curled

00:57:12.640 yeah so you could be in a grappling match and then you don't have

00:57:16.860 this weird cut this way it's it's right I mean as you hold on to

00:57:21.320 things yeah I don't know for sure but they

00:57:24.200 might be working on that because they have their tactical stuff

00:57:26.940 okay cool they could call it the grappler that would actually be cool I

00:57:31.780 should tell I should tell them about that but um they should just call it

00:57:34.980 the kip uh the kip mora I don't even yeah kip mora that's right

00:57:39.700 I don't even see their uh tactical knives on here but they do have oh here

00:57:45.780 it is oh they don't have one here but there's two different ones one's the

00:57:52.820 war goat and the other one is the battle goat which I don't have the battle

00:57:56.780 goat yet they're great at naming stuff too so

00:57:59.640 that's awesome all right last question from Tony Myers where does the iron

00:58:07.400 counsel see itself on members or potential members that follow a

00:58:12.360 polytheism nature-based spiritual following I thought this is a great

00:58:16.760 question because guys might make the assumption right

00:58:19.200 of what this looks like in the IC I don't I don't care not that I'm indifferent

00:58:24.860 to it but that I that doesn't that is not an impact for me what I care

00:58:30.000 about are the guys who are coming in do they want to be righteous men and if

00:58:35.200 you want to be a righteous man then I want you part of the iron council if

00:58:39.720 it's polytheism if it's more of a spiritual holistic earth type based if

00:58:45.980 it's the muse if it's christianity catholicism buddhism I mean name it if

00:58:51.420 you want to be a righteous man and you're here to learn and you're here to

00:58:54.060 serve then we're all about it now I will say with that being said I'm the

00:58:58.120 founder of order man in the iron council I'm christian so a lot of the

00:59:02.660 messaging that you're going to hear is framed with a christian undertone we're

00:59:07.460 not overtly spiritual or religious but you're going to hear a lot of the things

00:59:12.820 that I share are going to be very much in alignment with christianity but you

00:59:17.760 know what there's truth everywhere and many of the things that he believes I'm

00:59:22.580 sure overlap and align with christianity we probably just say it a little

00:59:26.380 different so that's not a that's not a concern of mine and maybe I'm going out

00:59:32.020 on the limb here saying this I don't think I am but but I do think one thing

00:59:36.940 that we do expect though is to guys have to be critical thinkers and not be so

00:59:44.100 easily offended right like and that's what I love of what I have seen in the

00:59:49.000 iron council is we've had group discussions with guys that that aren't

00:59:52.840 religious that that might be atheist and they're not in their heads going oh

00:59:58.080 that's a really interesting principle based upon what someone brings up in the

01:00:02.100 bible that's that's exactly what should happen and and we shouldn't be showing up 1.00

01:00:08.000 going oh well these guys don't believe what I believe and now I'm going to choose

01:00:11.360 to be offended that is not going to probably cut it in the IC doesn't serve you

01:00:16.280 doesn't serve anybody else right and and to be frank you're being a little uh

01:00:22.280 yeah I was trying to figure out a better way of saying that but but you know

01:00:27.600 have some critical thinking and we do expect that absolutely yeah yeah I

01:00:33.200 actually think the same thing with regards to sexuality you know I I get I get a

01:00:37.140 lot of messages from men who are gay who are who say hey is this okay for for gay

01:00:41.860 men yes like as long as you know as long as you're there to learn and grow and get

01:00:48.440 better and pursue something meaningful and significant and do good for other

01:00:52.680 people with other people yes well what does that have to do with it totally you

01:00:57.180 know and and I've actually been I have actually been surprised at how accepting

01:01:03.360 our iron council members are of gay men I'm grateful for it but honestly I've been 1.00

01:01:10.220 surprised I we've had a lot of gay men who are like man like I'm really glad I came

01:01:14.980 here because on the surface if you're just looking at it and scratching the

01:01:20.140 surface you might and you're in you're a gay man you might not think that you'd be 0.86

01:01:24.700 welcomed but I have found the opposite to be true of just about every single one of

01:01:31.200 our members it's it's pretty fascinating to me I like this quote this one's by

01:01:35.220 Aristotle he says it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a

01:01:39.320 thought without accepting it and I feel like that's what we do really well inside of the

01:01:44.280 iron council is that we have these thoughts and we don't always agree people

01:01:47.160 have come after me I've gone after other people it's always done from a position

01:01:51.340 of hey I care about you I want to understand what you're thinking I don't

01:01:55.180 agree with it but I'd like to know more about it and and it's just not only is it a

01:02:00.580 mark of an educated man but it's a mark of maturity like I don't have to get up in

01:02:06.940 arms because you don't believe in God you know and I see I see this a lot of the

01:02:10.700 times when when you mention Christianity a lot of people will use the term oh your

01:02:17.280 little sky daddy or things like that and I can never wrap my head around why

01:02:21.820 somebody would try to be deliberately insulting to a person who's trying to do

01:02:25.440 right and good I that that I don't understand like regardless of where that

01:02:31.580 sense of good comes from if that person is trying to do good and it comes from a

01:02:36.340 place that you don't believe exists I don't understand why mock that I would

01:02:40.040 think you would embrace that yeah well it's rooted in I don't agree with your

01:02:43.420 with what you're saying but I see that you're trying to do good and you're trying

01:02:46.900 to add value to the world and you're being a good dad it's like that's it that

01:02:49.740 should be enough yeah well I was just gonna say it's it's rooted in in their own

01:02:54.340 self-validation right that that's what it's really rooted in it's not rooted in

01:02:58.400 anything other than that well to be fair though Christians and and other other 1.00

01:03:03.720 religions do the exact same thing you know they look at other people 0.97

01:03:07.040 judgmental less favorably not welcome so I mean it's not exclusive to people who

01:03:12.520 don't believe in God it's also pretty notorious in those circles who you know

01:03:17.920 want to want to make other people feel less than because they don't believe in

01:03:22.420 their God so I see it on both sides to be fair yeah absolutely all right sir well

01:03:28.060 that's a wrap you know that was fun uh thanks to the guys that actually you know

01:03:32.840 threw some questions in in the live chat really appreciate you guys um listening

01:03:37.980 in as always you can connect with Ryan on X and Instagram at Ryan Mickler uh and we

01:03:44.840 did mention and there was a comment earlier about men's groups um although the

01:03:49.080 iron council is closed until December um you can join us on our Facebook group and

01:03:54.340 that's facebook.com slash group slash order of man there's one other reference and

01:03:59.940 resource that I want to give the guys so on May 1st through the 4th of 2025 we had

01:04:06.080 that's our first event of the year this one's really cool because I've never done

01:04:11.760 this and I haven't seen many other people do this if at all I've partnered with

01:04:16.140 three other notable people in the men's space and what's interesting is so many

01:04:22.380 industries look at all of that as competition they would never collaborate on

01:04:26.720 anything never in a million years yeah but we've decided to because I think yes

01:04:32.020 technically you could say that it's competition but we think that our mission

01:04:36.540 of helping men is more important than the perceived competition of it so I've

01:04:43.180 partnered with Larry Hagner with the dad edge Connor Beaton with man talks and

01:04:47.920 Matt Boudreau with Apogee strong to create this event May 1st through the 4th

01:04:52.920 2025 just outside of St. Louis and if you go to themensforge.com you can get
