00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart your own path.
00:00:06.020 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.
00:00:10.440 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.
00:00:15.500 This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become.
00:00:19.760 At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:00:25.040 Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler,
00:00:27.520 and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the movement that is Order of Man.
00:00:32.280 If you're joining us for the very first time today, I want to let you know briefly what this movement is all about.
00:00:37.320 This is a movement to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that seems to be increasingly dismissive of the idea of masculinity.
00:00:47.100 A very small example of this is I was on my phone earlier today and I got a notification from Instagram
00:00:53.460 that they had deleted one of my posts because apparently it went against community guidelines
00:00:58.080 for quote-unquote violence or threat of violence.
00:01:02.140 The post in question was me wrestling with my three-year-old son on our bed,
00:01:08.640 laughing, rolling around, giggling, and bonding by roughhousing.
00:01:14.140 Apparently, that's toxic or violent in nature.
00:01:19.040 And so, Instagram decided to take it down.
00:01:21.380 And it's crazy because we have things like that video,
00:01:24.520 which I think are healthy practices between a father and his son.
00:01:27.660 And then we have contrasting posts that don't seem to raise any issues at all,
00:01:34.220 like dressing our boys like girls, administering hormone blockers to alter their and stunt their growth as young men. 0.60
00:01:45.400 And yet that's not seen as violent or potentially even abusive.
00:01:49.840 This is a very small example and an indicator of the direction that I believe society is going in general.
00:01:57.220 And that is, again, dismissive of masculinity and assuming that somehow all masculinity is inherently evil, wrong, or toxic,
00:02:05.480 which obviously just isn't the case.
00:02:08.660 And there's a real threat and war against our boys and against men.
00:02:12.880 And it's my job to help reclaim and restore masculinity to its rightful place
00:02:18.080 and help us all step up as fathers, husbands, business owners, community leaders,
00:02:22.360 and every other facet of life that we're showing up as.
00:02:25.080 So again, if you're new for the first time today, we've got this show, which is your Friday field notes.
00:02:29.080 These are thoughts that I have from throughout the week.
00:02:31.180 I'll share here with you in a minute.
00:02:32.840 We've got our interview show where we're interviewing guys like Jocko Willink and Andy Frisilla and Tim Kennedy and David Goggins.
00:02:40.500 If you've been around for any amount of time, you know, our lineup of men that we've interviewed is absolutely, absolutely incredible.
00:02:46.960 And we're continuing to have great guests on.
00:02:49.100 In fact, as I'm moving here to Maine and we're getting established here, we're going to start doing a lot more video.
00:02:55.100 Interviews.
00:02:55.620 So be on the lookout for that.
00:02:57.040 In fact, my friend Andy Stumpf is coming out here in the next couple of weeks and we're going to do a podcast and shoot some arrows and make sure you're subscribed.
00:03:05.060 We have also got our Ask Me Anything episode, which is me and my co-host Kip Sorensen.
00:03:11.460 And we're fielding questions from our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, and also from our Facebook group.
00:03:16.900 The only announcement I have today is, again, I'm here in Maine and I'm about 20 minutes, 15 minutes or so away from Origin, Maine, their factory and their podcast studio and everything that they've got going on.
00:03:30.640 And I've spent a couple of days over there.
00:03:32.740 Guys, if you aren't familiar with what these guys are doing, go check it out.
00:03:35.960 I mean, their manufacturing process, the company, the message, 100% made in America, everything they're doing is incredible.
00:03:44.140 They've got their Brazilian jiu-jitsu rash guards and geese.
00:03:47.720 They've got lifestyle apparel.
00:03:49.240 In fact, I just picked up a brand new pair of jeans that they are starting to make.
00:03:54.720 And I'm going to be making some boots here in the next couple of weeks for me as well.
00:03:58.000 I get to make those, which is actually going to be pretty cool.
00:03:59.940 Uh, what else, what else?
00:04:02.300 They've got their supplements.
00:04:04.100 That's the Malk, the Joint Warfare, the Super Krill, and the Discipline all partnered up with Jocko that I use in my fitness and health regimen.
00:04:12.460 So go check it out.
00:04:13.820 OriginMaine.com and then use the code ORDER, O-R-D-E-R at checkout and you'll get a discount when you do.
00:04:20.360 So that's all I've got by way of announcements.
00:04:22.400 Today, I wanted to talk with you about seven different strategies for making yourself successful in a new environment.
00:04:30.780 I'm obviously in a new environment and we get a lot of questions and thoughts about how you can meet new people, how you can develop friendships or build a band of brothers, especially in a new environment.
00:04:42.880 Now, this could be something like a new community or a new state.
00:04:45.700 I'm all the way across the country.
00:04:47.360 I hardly know anyone out here.
00:04:48.780 I think I know, I don't know, eight people maybe, uh, or it could be a new, uh, career.
00:04:55.480 If you're starting a new job and you're in a new environment that way, or going into college or wherever you may find yourself out of place because you're not in with the crowd, if you will.
00:05:06.320 And that's what I wanted to talk with you about today, uh, because it's my goal and my objective to get very familiar with the area that I'm in, get very, very familiar with, uh, the people that, that live here.
00:05:17.080 In fact, I've had a lot of opportunity and success to do that already.
00:05:20.940 And I've had to push outside of my comfort zone a little bit.
00:05:24.000 It's always awkward when you're trying to meet new people.
00:05:25.960 It's definitely more comfortable to have an existing friendship or circle.
00:05:30.200 Uh, but when you're a new place, that's difficult.
00:05:32.240 And I want to make sure that I really assimilate and embed myself into this community because it represents all sorts of opportunities.
00:05:41.020 And that's the biggest thing that you need to understand is that any opportunity that may present itself in life in general is always going to come because you have a connection with another individual.
00:05:52.020 There is no opportunity that I can think of that doesn't come through your relationships, through networking efforts and the opportunities that others will present to you.
00:06:03.480 So if there's one reason that you need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, and I know this is easy for some of you, I also know that it's very difficult for a lot of you because you are maybe introverted by nature.
00:06:15.840 Again, it's uncomfortable.
00:06:17.520 I know this is going to sound weird because I do this podcast and we're reaching millions and millions of men across the planet, but I tend to be by default a little bit more on the introverted side.
00:06:26.420 I have no problem being here at the house and of course, spending time with my family or watching a show or reading a book and not having to go out into public and, and participate that way.
00:06:37.560 Uh, but I do it because it's good for me.
00:06:40.100 It's good for my soul.
00:06:41.500 Uh, I recognize that opportunities come through other people.
00:06:44.540 And so I deliberately and intentionally push myself outside of my comfort zone so that I can meet new people and I can have the friendships that, that I want.
00:06:53.520 So I'm just going to jump right into the seven or eight points that I had, uh, I had listed here.
00:06:58.380 I wrote these things down as I was thinking about what my strategy is for being successful in, in Maine.
00:07:04.780 And I hope that it helps you to some capacity.
00:07:07.060 If you've got other ideas or other thoughts on how to do this, please let me know.
00:07:10.780 I'm very, very active on Instagram, uh, which is at Ryan Mickler.
00:07:15.040 I'm also active on Facebook and Twitter.
00:07:17.600 Uh, and again, we're going to have a YouTube out, uh, the channel up and running before too long.
00:07:22.160 So if you're interested in that, head to, uh, youtube.com slash order of man.
00:07:27.140 All right, let's get into this.
00:07:28.200 Number one, uh, I think one way that you can definitely assimilate and get to know people is through some sort of spiritual organization or church function.
00:07:37.540 In fact, uh, we met some members from our congregation, uh, before we even moved here.
00:07:43.840 One of the, the women in, in our congregation reached out to my wife before we moved here and said how excited she was to have us out.
00:07:51.220 Uh, and they came over her and her husband and a friend came over the other day unannounced, which was fine with us.
00:07:57.120 We thought that was not a problem at all.
00:07:59.060 Uh, and spent about an hour with us.
00:08:00.940 We haven't even gone to church yet.
00:08:02.320 We'll go this, this weekend, but, uh, I think having, uh, some sort of, of religious or spiritual organization that you can tap into is very, very key when it comes to meeting new people.
00:08:13.940 And the reason, one of the reasons I should say that this is so powerful is because you can be fairly certain that a lot of the principles and the way that you operate your life is very, very similar to the way.
00:08:26.980 These other individuals are probably operating theirs.
00:08:29.320 Now, of course there's going to be differences, but it's good to find people who believe in the same thing from a religious or philosophical standpoint.
00:08:36.540 So there happens to be a church, not our church necessarily, but a church just right across the street from where we're living, which is kind of cool.
00:08:43.400 And I can see these people on Sunday when we were here, uh, how many people are getting along and, and, and going to church and, and meeting and, and, and they're friendly and they have the friendships.
00:08:52.700 And of course they have the solid foundation of how they are to operate and live their lives.
00:08:57.260 So number one is if you can find yourself in a spiritual or religious organization or a church or a chapel, or just go explore, maybe you aren't currently, but maybe you're, that's something you're interested in.
00:09:08.720 Then bounce around, try a lot of different congregations and, uh, and, and denominations and see if something fits for you.
00:09:14.780 But that's certainly a way to develop friendships and connect with people who believe, uh, like you do.
00:09:19.420 So that's number one.
00:09:20.500 Uh, number two is look for business and, or civic organizations.
00:09:25.980 So the couple that come off, uh, come, come to mind right off hand is chamber of commerce.
00:09:31.260 So next week I'm going to be attending a chamber of commerce meeting.
00:09:34.440 Now, whether I join the chamber or not is, is up for debate right now.
00:09:39.080 Uh, I'll, I'll see what I, what I think of it and what I like and how I might be able to help, but I'm definitely going to go.
00:09:44.880 Now, when you go to a chamber event, who you're going to meet with, you're going to meet with business owners.
00:09:48.960 You're going to meet with executives in the area.
00:09:51.660 You're going to meet with probably some politicians, people who are well-connected, who are fairly successful and who are interested in connecting and networking with other individuals.
00:10:01.120 So although you might go and feel awkward and uncomfortable, that's why they're there.
00:10:06.140 They're there to network.
00:10:07.340 They're there to meet other people.
00:10:09.060 And that eliminates one of the barriers to entry, or at least brings the bar down a little bit because people are naturally going to be friendly and outgoing and, and want to introduce themselves.
00:10:19.980 There'll be other visitors besides you.
00:10:21.780 So chamber of commerce is really good.
00:10:24.580 Uh, rotary is another good one.
00:10:26.220 That's more focused on the, uh, the civic side of things.
00:10:29.420 Uh, you have lions club business network international.
00:10:33.340 These are all great ways to find people who are interested in business and specifically networking, and then also interested in giving back to the community and growing the community and serving, uh, your neighbors and people in the area.
00:10:46.420 So if you're not looking for these business opportunities, these, uh, I should say networking opportunities, I think you're really doing yourself a disservice.
00:10:54.760 So again, number one, spiritual organizations, religious congregations, number two, business, uh, organizations, meetings, and civic organizations as well.
00:11:04.740 Uh, number three is simply just finding friends in the area.
00:11:08.640 Now I've got my friend, Pete Roberts and Brian Littlefield, and a couple of others.
00:11:13.080 Uh, these guys have been instrumental in introducing me to other people.
00:11:16.900 I've only been here for, gosh, I think four or five days now, but I have met probably a dozen contacts.
00:11:24.140 Maybe even more through Brian and through Pete, uh, they've been gracious enough to open up their network and introduce me to, uh, to other people who are influential in the community who want to meet.
00:11:36.940 Uh, I just met, uh, uh, very successful business owner in the area yesterday.
00:11:41.520 Uh, he invited me over to his family's place, uh, this weekend for, uh, a graduation for one of his children, a graduation ceremony or, or party.
00:11:51.100 I should say for one of his children, uh, again, pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, but, but I don't want to say leverage necessarily because that gives it a, maybe a negative connotation.
00:12:01.240 It's not that, but just utilizing your contacts and your friends for other opportunities, other introductions, and then putting yourself in environments, uh, where you're going to get those introductions.
00:12:12.180 And even potentially ask for it, uh, also, in addition to friends in the area is neighbors.
00:12:18.840 I mean, you have people that are surrounding you that you want to get to know.
00:12:22.440 Uh, there's a family just across the way here who, uh, bought a piece of property, a young family, very, very similar to ours, five kids.
00:12:31.360 And my son and I were out walking our property a couple of days ago and he drove by and he, he swung by and he said, Hey, I know you're moving into the area and we're moving into the area.
00:12:42.080 That's a neighbor.
00:12:43.020 Uh, we pulled the side-by-side out yesterday or a couple of days ago.
00:12:46.720 And I noticed that our neighbor across the street was out there and she was on her tippy toes looking over.
00:12:52.100 And so me and, and my son drove the side-by-side over and introduced ourselves.
00:12:56.580 Very nice woman.
00:12:57.660 I didn't get a chance to meet her husband yet, but, uh, I'm, I'm putting myself in the position where I'm, I'm meeting neighbors because I want to know the people around me.
00:13:05.340 I want to look after them.
00:13:06.380 I want them to look after me.
00:13:07.800 And so it takes a little effort.
00:13:10.020 Uh, it's going to take you exerting yourself a little bit, um, putting yourself out there, stepping outside again of your comfort zone and getting to know the people in, in the community and in your neighborhood.
00:13:20.340 And if you see somebody walking along, you know, pull over and say, hello, introduce yourself, uh, bring, bring something over to somebody.
00:13:27.600 Uh, people are bringing things over to us.
00:13:29.300 I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's a great community that we live in.
00:13:32.680 Um, and I think most communities are like this, as long as you're willing to open yourself up, let others know that you are receptive to, uh, expanding your network into, into meeting new people.
00:13:43.200 I think you're, you're not going to have that big of a problem.
00:13:45.520 So you've got friends and, and, uh, and neighbors as well.
00:13:48.160 Number four is your hobbies and your interests.
00:13:51.660 All right.
00:13:52.040 There's other people in your community who are very, very interested in the same things you are, whether that's shooting or hiking or painting or jujitsu or archery or whatever your heart's desire.
00:14:03.760 There's people in your area who are very, very interested in the same things that you are.
00:14:08.180 So for me, uh, that happens to be jujitsu.
00:14:11.060 There's a lot of, uh, jujitsu gyms here.
00:14:13.120 Uh, I'm going to be going, in fact, this evening, as of this recording to, uh, to class tonight, to training, and I'll meet people who, again, they're interested in the same things I am.
00:14:23.240 So we're going to connect at that level at a minimum, if not more.
00:14:27.380 And I'll be consistent about going to these things.
00:14:29.820 Uh, I've been asking about archery shops in the area now, for whatever reason, there, there doesn't seem to be any archery shops in this area.
00:14:36.980 So, but if there was, that would definitely be an opportunity to connect.
00:14:41.180 Uh, there are a couple of, of, uh, businesses that, uh, sell firearms and ammunition that I'm going to go me as well, because I want to know those people.
00:14:49.560 That's what I'm interested in.
00:14:50.840 That's what they're interested in.
00:14:51.960 And so our ability to connect and have conversations and, and, and forge a new connection are going to be simplified because we tear those barriers down when we find people who are interested in the same things as us.
00:15:02.940 So what are your hobbies?
00:15:04.240 What are your interests?
00:15:05.140 Uh, if you don't know where those things are, wherever you are, just ask, you know, I was at the local hardware store this morning, picking up some, some hardware for, uh, doing some, some fixing some furniture that we had to, had to repair.
00:15:17.040 Uh, and I asked him about archery shops.
00:15:19.180 I asked him about firearm shops.
00:15:20.900 Um, and so you just have those conversations and you'll find, uh, people who are interested in what you are.
00:15:26.580 The other thing that you could use is meetup.com.
00:15:29.780 And if you go to meetup.com, you can type in whatever your activity is, whatever you're interested in.
00:15:34.500 And it will pull up organizations.
00:15:37.060 Uh, it will pull up people who are getting together, uh, at least semi formally, uh, to participate in some of these activities.
00:15:44.140 So meetup.com is a great resource.
00:15:45.900 Although I personally have, have not tapped into it because I've found other ways to connect through hobbies and interests.
00:15:51.440 Uh, number five, just go where the people are. 0.94
00:15:53.980 Are there certain areas in, in your town, or if it's at work, there are certain people, uh, who are hanging out, whether it's in the break room or by the water cooler or whatever.
00:16:03.240 Wherever people are, you just need to go there.
00:16:05.580 Just go where the people are.
00:16:08.500 And inevitably, if you go where they are, you're going to find people to talk with.
00:16:12.800 Most people are going to be inclusive.
00:16:14.720 Most people know that you're new, uh, or, or that, that this is an opportunity to connect with and talk with other people.
00:16:20.940 But just go where they are.
00:16:22.640 You know, if you, if you shell up or hole up in your, in your house or your cubicle or wherever, and you don't put yourself in environment environments, uh, that, that, that are around other people, then I mean, you're not going to meet other people.
00:16:36.120 You're just waiting for somebody to come to you.
00:16:38.280 And very rarely does that happen.
00:16:39.840 I mean, it might happen because you have somebody who's, who's friendly and courteous might come introduce themselves, but you got to be assertive.
00:16:47.260 Just like any other facet of life, just like we've been talking about for the past four, almost five years now is you've got to be very, very assertive.
00:16:55.260 You've got to find out where people congregate.
00:16:57.480 And then you've got to go to those places and have a reason to be there and then be able to have conversations and, and talk with these people.
00:17:05.300 Again, I know it's uncomfortable, I know it's awkward, but if you want the opportunities and you want to find yourself in a good position, in a new place, a new environment, a new community, a new office, a new career, whatever that may be, then you've got to go where the people are.
00:17:19.300 And point number six actually ties in very, very nicely with this is, uh, is just tell other people that you're new, you know, just open your mouth and just say, Hey, I'm new here.
00:17:30.200 A very simple question that I've asked as I've gone around town, I went down to the local convenience store a couple of times over the past week or so.
00:17:39.100 And, and I met, met one of the women there and, and I said, Hey, I were just new into the area.
00:17:43.560 Is there anything around here that I ought to be aware of?
00:17:46.300 Is there any, uh, cool, cool sites to visit?
00:17:49.440 Um, what do people do for fun?
00:17:50.880 These are questions that I've been asking and that'll help me get in the know and help me see what's going on and have my ear to the ground because I have no idea.
00:17:58.880 But I'm going to ask people who have been here for a very, very long period of time.
00:18:02.500 I also tell people, uh, this, this gal, for example, who's at the convenience store, um, she talked to us about the house that we bought because there's some history here.
00:18:10.900 And she gave me a few pointers on the intersection because the intersection is a little, little dicey where we are.
00:18:16.040 People get into accidents.
00:18:16.900 Like they, she said one or two times a week.
00:18:19.460 Fortunately, we hadn't had anybody get in an accident yet, but apparently that's bound to happen.
00:18:23.580 Uh, but she lives just up the road. 1.00
00:18:25.300 And I said, you know, if, if you want to stop by and say, hi, you know, feel free to come by.
00:18:30.580 We've had people who have come by unannounced.
00:18:33.120 Um, we had, in fact, one of our state senators, uh, lives just right down the road.
00:18:37.820 He has a farm right down the road and he's been, uh, leasing part of our property and he haze part of our property.
00:18:43.680 Anyways, he came up this morning and, and introduced himself.
00:18:46.840 And man, that's a great person to know somebody who's got a relationship with a previous owner.
00:18:50.980 He's a state senator. Uh, and it, and it's just because I'm, I'm opening my mouth and I'm telling people where we are and, and, and letting them know that we're new.
00:18:59.760 And we're trying to find ways to, to serve and to help and, and, and be here.
00:19:04.020 And that also leads into point number seven, which is the last point that I wanted to make with you here today.
00:19:09.640 I know it's kind of a short one today, uh, but you've got to be interested in what other people are interested in, right?
00:19:15.400 Like if you come into an environment and you do your own thing and you're the rebel and you're the lone wolf and you put yourself on a mantle or above other people, uh, you're going to have a very, very difficult time connecting.
00:19:27.060 I think a lot of the times people have some, not problems necessarily, but reservations with new people because they don't know.
00:19:36.640 And if you distance yourself and, and, and be an a-hole, uh, for example, then, you know, they're not, they're not going to be attracted to you. 0.85
00:19:46.780 They're going to be repelled maybe even by you because you represent potentially a threat to their current way of living.
00:19:53.800 Uh, in fact, one of the neighbors that I met, uh, he had just bought a new property.
00:19:57.920 He's from Maine, not from this area.
00:19:59.460 And he says, you know, a lot of people have a hard time when, when outsiders that he says from over there move into an area is what they do is they start putting fences up and no trespassing.
00:20:10.000 And he says, you might get to that point, but I wouldn't recommend doing that right away.
00:20:13.800 And we aren't going to do that.
00:20:15.340 I want to be interested in what other people are interested in.
00:20:18.320 I'm, I'm a visitor, you know, this is our home and we're planning on making this our home,
00:20:23.000 but this is not my place.
00:20:25.080 This is, this is their place.
00:20:27.300 And I think it's on us as the visitors of these environments to assimilate into these, into these communities and into these neighborhoods and be interested in what other people are interested in.
00:20:37.960 And, and even serve other people.
00:20:39.900 If you have information or have resources or have connections or ideas or whatever it may be, maybe somebody just needs to borrow some eggs or some, I don't know.
00:20:49.020 Then, then be there and be interested in them and, and serve those other individuals.
00:20:54.340 And you're much more likely to find yourself in a good environment.
00:20:58.640 Now, I know this is going to, is not going to apply to all of you guys because you're not all in new, new communities that you're, you're moving to, but it's universal.
00:21:07.620 Whether again, you're at work or a lot of questions from guys who just took up new leadership positions, who are wondering how to gain and garner attention and respect from the rest of the team, especially if they're young or they advanced through the ranks very quickly.
00:21:24.800 These are things that you can do every single day in order to earn respect, to develop and build connections, to have friendships, to build allies, which is important as opposed to enemies.
00:21:37.660 That's what I'm looking for.
00:21:38.960 I want everybody in this neighborhood.
00:21:40.720 We live on a little intersection here.
00:21:42.580 I want everybody in this neighborhood to be an ally of mine.
00:21:45.900 I don't need to make enemies in this area.
00:21:47.660 I need to have allies and friends and people who are looking after us.
00:21:51.640 And if I want that, then I have to be willing to do that for other people.
00:21:55.240 So whether you're moving or not, it doesn't really matter.
00:21:59.100 I want you to take what I shared with you today and here, I'll recap this here in a minute and think about how you can apply this in your life to more adequately preside.
00:22:08.360 And we've talked about this at length.
00:22:10.000 If you've been with us for any amount of time, you know that a man's primary functions are to protect, to provide and to preside.
00:22:17.840 And I plan on being a leader.
00:22:19.500 I am a leader in my home as a father and as a husband, but I plan on being a leader here, a leader on the street that we live on, a leader in this community.
00:22:29.960 I plan on presiding.
00:22:31.480 This is my domain.
00:22:33.180 This is where I've planted my flag.
00:22:34.940 And if I'm going to do that, then I've got to go out and develop opportunities.
00:22:38.680 I've got to go out and network.
00:22:40.160 I've got to create allies and I've got to learn to serve people in this area.
00:22:45.060 So I know this one is very practical.
00:22:47.360 It's not that philosophical, necessarily 30,000 foot view, but this practicality is very important.
00:22:52.600 For those of you who are young, for those of you who are trying to find your way in a new set of circumstances and a new environment, these are seven things that you can do again every day that are going to help you assimilate, that are going to help you be successful, that are going to embed yourself.
00:23:11.860 And then people are going to look at you favorably, and ultimately that will foster confidence, that will foster credibility, certainly, and influence in others' lives as well.
00:23:24.600 So I hope that helps, guys.
00:23:25.800 Again, I know it's a short one today.
00:23:27.560 I think we've got internet coming tomorrow as of this recording.
00:23:32.520 So that'll be nice because I'll be able to get access back to my emails and try to get on some semblance of a routine, which has been a challenge up to this point.
00:23:42.860 But it's been good.
00:23:43.820 It's all been good stuff.
00:23:44.980 A couple of little hiccups and snags and challenges here and there.
00:23:48.040 But I want to thank you for being understanding with some fill-in guests and different things like that as we've tried to transition.
00:23:54.260 I definitely want to thank you for being a part of the order, being a man of the order, if you will, because this opportunity that we have out here is absolutely incredible.
00:24:05.760 And I know some of you have seen the property and we'll be doing some video and things like that here soon and seen the land and we're going to put together some events.
00:24:13.780 None of this would be possible without you.
00:24:16.120 Without you listening in, without you supporting us through the merchandise that we offer, without joining the Iron Council, which you can find at orderofman.com slash ironcouncil, without coming to the events, you yourself and bringing your sons and participating and being assertive in everything that we're doing here.
00:24:36.560 And I hope that this has become a powerful tool and a resource for you in your own life to become more capable as a father and a husband, a business owner, a community leader, a coach, a mentor, a friend, a neighbor, a brother, a son, whatever, however you're showing up.
00:24:55.680 I hope this is the go-to resource for improving yourself as a man.
00:25:02.980 That is my goal.
00:25:03.880 That is my objective.
00:25:04.660 And I think we'll be able to do it here at our new headquarters in Maine.
00:25:08.300 And it isn't lost on me that the opportunities that have presented themselves here are in large part, overwhelmingly large part to you tuning in and being part of the order.
00:25:17.460 So I want to thank you for that.
00:25:18.900 Anyways, guys, got some good podcasts coming up.
