Back by popular demand is my good friend and longtime mentor, Sean Whalen.
00:00:04.400
Now I had Sean join me several months ago and the feedback that I received was so overwhelmingly
00:00:10.040
positive that I knew I wanted to have him back on the podcast.
00:00:13.580
Although you may not agree with everything we talk about today, the societal climate
00:00:17.020
that we live in demands those frankly, who are unabashedly unafraid of speaking in their
00:00:23.060
minds and giving us a glimpse into perspectives that I don't think we would consider otherwise.
00:00:27.340
Guys, this is a powerful follow-up to our first conversation several months ago about
00:00:32.380
what is going on in culture today and what a man needs to do to navigate these very, we'll
00:00:40.260
You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path.
00:00:44.640
When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time.
00:00:48.000
Every time you are not easily deterred, defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.
00:00:56.340
This is who you will become at the end of the day.
00:00:59.340
And after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:01:04.940
My name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order
00:01:10.400
I've got another good one lined up for you today.
00:01:12.420
Now, of course, I'm a bit biased, but man, based on the feedback that we got several months
00:01:17.360
ago from having Sean Whalen on the podcast, I would say that you are going to agree that
00:01:23.180
this is a very powerful conversation that we have today.
00:01:28.700
I do want to make a mention of my friends over at Origin.
00:01:32.560
I don't think you're getting sick of hearing me talk about them because if you have any
00:01:36.060
of their products, whether it's their denim or their boots or their rash guards or their
00:01:40.740
In fact, I just got one of their brand new competition geese and it is amazing.
00:01:46.020
Uh, also their nutritional supplement, uh, which is partnered up with Jocko Willink guys,
00:01:55.060
They're in my backyard, not literally, but you know, right down the road and, uh, they
00:02:01.120
They're telling an amazing story and they're bringing back American manufacturing.
00:02:10.360
If you want a discount, if you want to save money, you're going to spend it anyways, then
00:02:18.060
And last thing, before I get to this conversation, uh, guys, just go leave a rating review.
00:02:22.620
It goes a very long way in moving the order of man podcast up the charts.
00:02:27.760
There's no reason this shouldn't be a top five podcast in the world.
00:02:32.260
Not just one of the categories, top five, generally, that's what I'm working for.
00:02:41.020
It takes you literally two seconds and just click five stars.
00:02:44.880
And if you feel so inclined, you can leave a review while you're at it.
00:02:52.760
Uh, I told you earlier, I have the honor of introducing you yet again to my friend, Sean
00:03:00.300
I think that's true about anybody, anybody I should say.
00:03:02.980
Uh, I genuinely admire his, his passion, his enthusiasm for life, uh, adventure, new experiences.
00:03:08.700
In fact, uh, this conversation that we had was recorded, uh, between him racing cars and
00:03:17.080
Uh, he was doing, uh, truck racing, off-road truck racing, and now he's doing track racing.
00:03:21.960
So he's, he's chasing his dreams, which I admire and respect guys.
00:03:25.460
You're going to get a lot of good information from this one.
00:03:28.980
And at the very least, you're going to be motivated and inspired to do more with your
00:03:36.160
Mr. Sean Whalen, glad to be joining you for round two in the last, uh, what, two weeks
00:03:47.800
I just made a post on Instagram because I noticed you've probably noticed this even more than
00:03:53.340
Uh, my engagement has dropped like 60% over the past week or so.
00:04:00.100
Cause I continue to see growth, but the engagement has just dropped off dramatically in the past
00:04:05.440
And I've had people message me and say, Hey dude, like, I can't even see your posts.
00:04:10.920
You don't know why it's because I have really good friends and, uh, it's cause you don't
00:04:19.360
And my buddy just bought a 3d printer and he showed up and he, and he hands me this and
00:04:23.180
he's like, I made you something for your race car.
00:04:27.480
When you get a, when you, when you get a 3d printer, like any sane and rational human
00:04:33.220
being, that is the first thing that they would make with it.
00:04:37.740
I just got done with my first practice session and I will tell you, I'll take a picture so
00:04:42.960
I have one of these, well, they mounted it cause they thought it was fucking hilarious
00:04:49.300
So when I'm going into corners, I'm looking at the cockasaurus.
00:04:53.520
I think it's going to help you race faster for sure.
00:04:56.200
I, I actually hit 147 on my first practice lap, uh, which was super stoked about.
00:05:03.480
Um, you was talking about miles per hour, 147 miles per hour, 147 miles an hour.
00:05:09.300
You got, everybody knows that I'm doing off-road.
00:05:10.840
I do Baha'i race in off-road truck and I have a razor now.
00:05:13.540
Um, I just bought a street car, so I'm racing a GT class, uh, a TT class, excuse me.
00:05:20.160
Um, so, you know, the stuff you see on, on, uh, all over the world with like the Porsches
00:05:25.860
and the Ferraris and Lamborghinis and the Audis and stuff.
00:05:28.100
So my buddy's been racing for a long time and I just bought a car and, and, uh, this is
00:05:33.100
So testing today and then tomorrow and Sunday are my first races.
00:05:38.600
No, I'm here at, uh, Larry Miller at the Miller or Utah motor sports park is what it's called
00:05:43.640
So I got my race suit on and literally just finished my session about 20 minutes ago.
00:05:47.500
They're tuning up my car, getting a couple of things, uh, fixed on it.
00:05:56.460
I just wanted to make sure that everybody knew that's the reason.
00:05:59.400
And that's honestly why social media engagements down is, you know, there's a lot of feminism.
00:06:05.180
There's a lot of men that literally aren't even this.
00:06:08.480
They're like, shit, his cockasaurus is bigger than my cockasaurus.
00:06:12.700
And I don't, I mean, I don't know what to tell you, bro.
00:06:16.240
Well, it sounds like you have an in, maybe you need to get me one of those so I can make
00:06:23.120
I mean, not to get too far off topic, but, uh, it's been changing for a long time.
00:06:26.640
I mean, when I first started, uh, like when my first post went viral, I mean, there was
00:06:31.260
stuff that I could say that was just like, now would just get me banned.
00:06:34.660
I say a lot more on Instagram, even though Instagram is owned by Facebook.
00:06:40.980
I mean, I, I, you can't look, I can't blame Zuckerberg, right?
00:06:44.980
I mean, he's running a multi-billion dollar company.
00:06:48.180
He's got people, you know, I mean, Zuckerberg, truthfully, he's given me the platform that
00:06:55.340
Guys like you and I have connected, so I can't be too upset about it and too mad about
00:06:58.680
It is frustrating that influencers don't really matter anymore there because unless you're
00:07:06.500
And I get that, I understand that from a capitalistic standpoint, but, uh, yeah, I've seen, but I
00:07:11.220
actually don't have a problem with paying to play.
00:07:13.320
Like I actually get that as, as a capitalist myself and somebody who believes in free markets,
00:07:18.120
I'm like, look, these guys invested billions of dollars into the platform.
00:07:26.400
What I have a problem with is selecting and choosing based on own personal biases.
00:07:33.620
But you know what, man, that's truthfully, bro.
00:07:37.420
I mean, I wish I could say something different.
00:07:39.540
I wish I could say, oh dude, it's, you know, but it's just, it's how it is.
00:07:42.740
I mean, literally like, you know, we've been moving and you and I have talked about this
00:07:47.020
fucking so many times, like we're moving in a day and age where, you know, we're trying
00:07:52.260
to create a system that everybody feels okay, that everything is, is uniform.
00:07:57.340
And I said this yesterday, um, on one of my posts that, you know, there, oh, you might
00:08:03.400
There were these 14 and 15 year old kids that were fucking debating me on Instagram, telling
00:08:08.180
me, dude, you have no clue what's going on in the world.
00:08:10.420
You have to, you should be doing this and you should do that.
00:08:13.140
I'm like, motherfucker, you live in your parents fucking bait.
00:08:18.840
You don't have a car payment, a mortgage, don't fucking even presume, presume to know
00:08:24.960
Like these kids and people legitimately with this Bernie Sanders reality and socialist thing,
00:08:32.220
everybody wants to feel the same, look the same, earn the same, be the same.
00:08:36.920
I should have done it from the dawn of creation.
00:08:39.460
Like there's always been a top of the totem pole and a bottom of the totem pole and a lot
00:08:49.980
I don't care how much you bitch and moan and yell and scream and hit report, report, report.
00:08:57.920
You can push the buttons all you fucking want, right?
00:09:01.320
You can't beat mother nature and mother nature stands behind what you and I are doing, which
00:09:05.160
is survival of the fittest, which is, you know, if you ain't hunting, you ain't eating.
00:09:09.220
And, and unfortunately our society and our culture isn't teaching that, moving in that
00:09:15.340
direction, helping kids really understand that.
00:09:18.160
And, you know, at the end of the day, oh, well, you'll just be at the bottom of the fucking
00:09:23.520
It's unfortunate because the, these, these, I hate to say it cause you sound like an old
00:09:27.460
man or something, but you're like these kids these days, you know, but honestly, like
00:09:31.960
And, you know, I wish I could change that, but all I can change is my household, right?
00:09:38.000
You and I say the same thing, man, get your own house in order.
00:09:40.660
And whether a 14 or 15 year old wants to come on, I'm sorry.
00:09:43.580
I don't know if the lighting is all right here, but you know, we're good.
00:09:48.700
You know, I, I realized over the last couple of years, man, that this is an interesting
00:09:53.720
thing for you and I as quote unquote influencers, whatever the fuck you want to call you and
00:09:57.200
I, you know, I really truly care about human beings.
00:10:06.640
I was raised in an abusive household with, with an emotionally abusive father.
00:10:10.380
I know what it's like to fucking struggle, struggle.
00:10:12.520
I know what it's like to the wonder, am I going to put gas in my car or am I going to,
00:10:19.360
And that's the reason I'm as passionate as I am, but I realized over the last couple of
00:10:23.100
years, man, like I, it's the old saying you can, you can lead a horse to water, but you
00:10:27.880
And, and I've, I've pulled back a lot from that position because it started stressing
00:10:37.640
Like, Oh, Sean, you say it's easy to make money.
00:10:40.720
Go do this, this, and this, and you'll make money.
00:10:45.780
I just literally handed you the same blueprint that I fucking followed.
00:10:50.860
I started with, and, and I, I used to get so worked up, bro.
00:10:58.080
And I know, you know, this, cause like sometimes I sit in a script, scroll through Facebook or
00:11:03.060
Instagram and I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
00:11:06.640
I read people's posts and I'm like, what planet are you fucking living on?
00:11:11.520
And I just, I don't want to sound coarse or whatever, but I realized the only thing I
00:11:18.300
And at the end of the day, I can't make anybody do anything.
00:11:21.300
So I'm going to build the biggest fucking house possible that can help as many people
00:11:25.160
And if people want to participate and join me along the way, guys like you and I give the
00:11:29.820
shirt off our backs to people without even thinking about it.
00:11:37.400
I think that's really misunderstood about you and some of these other guys is like, you
00:11:40.600
know, you come across as, I mean, frankly, you come across as harsh and like you said,
00:11:44.780
But if you just stop and like decide, and I know you've read the four agreements and you're
00:11:50.560
If you just stop for a second and think, you know, I don't have to be offended by what Sean
00:11:57.740
Maybe like I ought to just listen for a second and ask myself if it applies to me.
00:12:04.140
If it does objectively apply to you, forget about delivery or how you feel about it or if
00:12:13.560
Jordan Peterson says this, you say this, truth is truth, man.
00:12:16.160
Like, and this is something that I would love for people to continue to hear and understand
00:12:21.020
is, you know, I played sports ever since I was a little kid and you always had kind
00:12:26.160
of the nice coach and then you had the mean coach.
00:12:29.200
And if I think back to like my trainers, for example, right, I'm in the best shape at 41
00:12:37.700
I don't have, I have no shame in talking and celebrating what I built.
00:12:48.200
Like, so when I go to the gym and I'm like, dude, I'm sore.
00:12:53.380
And we'll be like, no fucker pick up the weight.
00:12:55.180
Like, that's the thing that I think people need to understand is my, my delivery, my,
00:13:00.220
my people think that, and you know me well enough.
00:13:02.580
You've been around me to know that I'm as big of a dick in person as I am online.
00:13:07.360
But like, I realized that me coddling and telling you it's okay to be fat and, and telling
00:13:14.960
you your stories matter and telling you all of these things doesn't help you at some
00:13:19.980
Man, we get so far down the rabbit hole because I was this guy, anybody who knows my story
00:13:34.240
It was because I was terrified to speak my truth.
00:13:38.580
I was terrified to like acknowledge that I was a lazy piece of shit and didn't want to
00:13:43.420
work out as hard as the dude who had the six pack.
00:13:45.340
And so instead I just mock him and say he was a dick and say he was on steroids and a liar,
00:13:48.980
but like really stop and think about this for a second.
00:13:51.240
Some of the greatest lessons that I, I've experienced in life came when I got punched
00:13:55.720
And I think that's what people need to start understanding is look, it might hurt and it
00:14:02.520
If you can't afford to pay your fucking bills, you're broke and saying, oh, well, you know,
00:14:07.560
your dad issues or your mom issues or your job.
00:14:15.620
I get it, but which would you rather have this momentary sting with then now the blueprint
00:14:22.780
and the drive and the motivation and the support to go build something?
00:14:28.400
Or would you rather just surround yourself with a bunch of broke ass people that are like,
00:14:33.680
And I'm never going to change that, man, because what changed my life the most when I
00:14:37.200
was lying is getting punched in the face with fucking truth.
00:14:44.340
I wanted to say you're a dick, but it was true.
00:14:46.900
You know, you asked that question about like, what would you rather have?
00:14:52.040
I'm like, well, yeah, I'd rather be in a little bit of pain, but have the progress.
00:14:54.720
And I think most people probably listen to the podcast, feel the same way.
00:14:59.360
They'd, they'd be doing whatever they're doing in their mom's basement.
00:15:02.700
But I do think there's like, many probably are.
00:15:08.020
And that, and, and here's the interesting thing is they think they're moving the needle because
00:15:12.340
That's one of the problems, like the traps of like the self-help space is, oh, I'm listening
00:15:24.260
Like at some point you've got to get out there and like put mental masturbation.
00:15:38.660
Go right now and pick up something fucking heavy and carry it a mile.
00:15:44.620
Wake up in the morning and go to the gym and pick up heavy things and put them down.
00:15:54.020
Like, look, I'm not, I love Gary, but Gary just, dude, he puts out so much content.
00:16:01.760
It's like drives me insane some days, but he said something really true yesterday.
00:16:04.540
He's like, dude, you don't need any more books, man.
00:16:07.000
You don't need to know any more about making money.
00:16:10.500
Everybody already knows how to get in shape like this.
00:16:15.340
I don't want to discredit, but like there's a science to certain things, but let me tell you
00:16:18.720
literally in like 10 seconds or less how to get in really good fucking shape, eat healthy
00:16:26.920
You know, it's funny, dude, as I watch, cause I know like you've been on 75 hard and, and
00:16:30.980
the way that you've built your body to the, where it is right now.
00:16:34.260
Cause I always see the posts are like, Oh, what's your workout?
00:16:39.040
And people say the same thing every time, right?
00:16:42.660
Legitimately, it's just work out, move your body, healthy food, put greens and meats into
00:16:47.980
your body, stop eating all the breads, stop eating all the sugars.
00:16:54.800
This is just human fucking, this is common sense and literally go sweat.
00:17:01.200
And again, this is going to hurt people's feelings and I don't give a shit.
00:17:03.840
I go to the gym and you see the same people on the elliptical, just do to do to do.
00:17:11.060
And then there are the ones at home going, I'm tired of being fat, but they're watching shit
00:17:16.900
and they're on things and they're this and that, and they're just cruising along and
00:17:21.040
And look, if you've got a busted up knee and you're rehabbing, cool, but not all of you
00:17:27.240
I've seen you at the gym for six months, friend.
00:17:34.680
But I think that's the differentiating factor too, man, of, of greatness.
00:17:40.940
He wrote, uh, yeah, relentless, you know, he was Michael Jordan's coach and Kobe Bryant's
00:17:46.100
Um, and, uh, you know, there's a, there's just a mental difference between people.
00:17:56.260
And, and I will tell you that when it comes to working out, I've worked out with a lot
00:18:02.780
And that's the reason I look the way I look and they don't know bones about it.
00:18:08.240
I don't give a shit about your injuries, your things, whatever.
00:18:11.000
I got them all like, we're at this dividing factor where it's like, unless you're willing
00:18:14.840
to do shit that other people aren't, you're not going to change.
00:18:21.580
One of the things you can read and hope and pray for money.
00:18:24.140
I'm going to, I'm going to manifest millions of dollars.
00:18:31.920
You know, one of the things I've thought about is like, sometimes I'll hear something that
00:18:37.860
Like, I don't agree with that or whatever, but, but one thing I always admired about
00:18:46.340
You know, like, I'm like, man, he's so wrong on that.
00:19:00.140
Like when I'm racing, Jason, who's here, my buddy here, here, come over here.
00:19:06.260
He is Jason Howard, dude, is independently wealthy.
00:19:27.480
Tell everybody why it is that you chose to take your race car that's on the road into the
00:19:36.260
Markers, and I decided not to pay attention to them.
00:20:00.420
You started selling, like, 10-cent stickers for a dollar, and then dollar stickers for
00:20:04.800
three, and now you're making millions and millions and millions of dollars.
00:20:10.420
We're having a conversation about masculinity and men and owning your shit, getting in shape.
00:20:22.760
Do what you want to do, but don't fucking lie about it.
00:20:30.240
How much more intense are you with work than people that are broke?
00:20:37.540
Because you want these big-ass trailers and fast race cars.
00:20:40.180
What would you say to people that are, like, the differentiating factor between you being
00:20:44.340
in this race course and people being at a nine-to-five?
00:20:59.620
He's, look, if you can wrangle him in, he's not a.
00:21:07.840
One of my dearest friends, like, I don't have very many mentors.
00:21:12.780
Consider him a mentor because he's very, very successful.
00:21:18.120
He's got multiple Lamborghinis and the whole thing.
00:21:22.220
He literally was selling 10-cent stickers for a dollar and then built it up and built it
00:21:26.400
And he did a million dollars of sales in one day.
00:21:31.720
Was that a couple of years ago on Facebook or something?
00:21:36.520
And I live streamed it and I was helping him in the whole thing.
00:21:39.440
Because the thing is, is he's like, I've never done it before and it scares the shit
00:21:46.060
And ClickFunnels changed a bunch of their crap right before.
00:21:49.160
Things were just against him and against him and against him.
00:21:51.400
And I've never met a dude who solves problems better than him.
00:21:55.060
Like, you can throw anything at him and he'll figure it out.
00:21:59.160
And going along this conversation, if you're broke, you have to be willing to do shit that
00:22:06.120
You have to be willing to go down the rabbit hole that's scary, that's dark, that's alone,
00:22:11.540
You have to be willing to put in the time and the energy and the effort.
00:22:14.060
You have to be willing to go to the gym and fucking throw up.
00:22:22.180
I'm not ashamed of it because I'm in better shape than everybody else around me, right?
00:22:25.280
And I say that just because you have to be willing, and you know this, you have to be
00:22:29.860
willing to go above and beyond if you want to lead an exceptional life.
00:22:38.860
It's really fucking simple to make 70 grand a year and have somebody give you a paycheck
00:22:49.660
It's really hard when it's the first thing he said.
00:22:52.800
Figure out what you want to fucking do and then go do it.
00:23:00.280
I don't care what it is, but like so many people are so afraid to do anything and they
00:23:06.580
They sit on a fence day after day after day after day after day.
00:23:12.020
You know what's funny is every once in a while I get messages from people.
00:23:16.840
I'm like, well, I had my financial planning practice and I would wake up two hours in the
00:23:20.240
morning before anybody else got up and I would type away and do blogs and interviews
00:23:23.820
and whatever else and I got rejected all the time.
00:23:25.800
And then I would go into my like day job for 10 hours and then I would come home, eat dinner
00:23:30.420
with my wife, play with the kids for a little bit, put the kids to bed and then say, hon,
00:23:33.860
I'm signing out and go back into the office and work for two or three more hours on Order of
00:23:38.440
And I did that for, I did that for a year and a half to two years every day before I
00:23:46.100
was like, oh, maybe I can actually make some money doing this.
00:23:50.720
And I mean, that's the difference is so many people are like, oh, I'm tired.
00:23:54.460
I'm just going to watch Game of Thrones and I'm tired and I'm the same way, man.
00:23:58.340
You know, that's the reason 75 hard was so big for me and why it changed my life in such
00:24:01.720
a dramatic way is like, you know, those workouts where it's 11 o'clock at night, 12 o'clock
00:24:11.740
That's what helped build the six pack is those moments.
00:24:14.860
I will tell you straight up, that is what has helped me put a healthiest sum of money
00:24:18.680
in my bank account and allow me to buy race cars and live the life that I want to live
00:24:22.160
is in those moments when all of the stories were coming to me like, dude, you're tired.
00:24:30.100
Sean, you need rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, knowing that I
00:24:35.420
And, and, and, and, you know, your body is sore.
00:24:45.880
The difference is, is like, I want the results more than I want to share the excuse.
00:24:54.240
Cause again, we talked twice in the last two weeks.
00:24:57.060
I want to talk about Corona virus, your favorite, your favorite topic, man.
00:25:01.680
You know, what's interesting is we were talking about this and I don't know, six weeks, eight
00:25:06.680
weeks ago or so, or whatever, you're, you're sounding the alarms, right?
00:25:12.120
And everybody's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:26.400
So talk to me about where we're at, what your thought process is with this whole COVID-19
00:25:33.100
Um, I don't really know yet, man, to be really candid, to be really honest.
00:25:38.820
Like I could, I could, I could stroke you some sort of fucking cool answer, but like,
00:25:42.740
I will tell you this, that it's terrifying what I'm seeing.
00:25:45.980
It's terrifying watching Americans fight Americans.
00:25:50.120
It's terrifying knowing that during world war two, the Germans were encouraged.
00:25:56.760
The German people were encouraged to turn in the Jews and they were rewarded for turning
00:26:13.100
There are hotlines set up that you call on your neighbors and say they're outside and
00:26:24.620
But even bigger than that, dude, even bigger than that, like we're people, this is the thing
00:26:29.940
that's truly scary to me and where we're going.
00:26:33.740
I'll share those in a second, but like the numbers are there.
00:26:38.640
Doctor after doctor thing after thing has been proven to be wrong.
00:26:55.560
We're literally watching like the dismantling of the freedom and people are buying into
00:27:06.840
Like legitimately, like none of the statistics make sense.
00:27:12.440
The governor of New York City, the mayor, excuse me, the mayor of New York City has been shown
00:27:21.260
It ain't Republican, Democrat, black, white, rich, poor.
00:27:29.720
Like literally, we allow people to congregate in Walmart and all these big box businesses.
00:27:35.600
But if you take your kids to a fucking park and you're not near anyone, you'll get arrested.
00:27:43.580
Now, my question, and I don't think you probably have very many people that disagree with you
00:27:47.980
and I on this, listening to this podcast, but let's just hypothetically say you do.
00:27:51.300
How the fuck do you rationalize, justify, or excuse that?
00:27:56.900
Oh, and I swear to God, if your argument is, well, I want to do what's in the best interest
00:28:07.720
And I have seen people, person after person, these little kids were arguing with me.
00:28:27.160
Like, we need to go read the Declaration of Independence and understand that that document
00:28:34.720
was a declaration of independence from a foreign entity, a government that wanted to persecute,
00:28:50.320
For those of you that aren't very smart, fucking look these words up.
00:28:58.360
Which means you got nothing to say over me, pal.
00:29:07.900
It's a really scary thing, bro, because people legitimately have been feared into giving up
00:29:13.580
And we now have a system and a culture where we're supporting.
00:29:17.400
People are literally supporting arresting people for going to beaches, for doing shit,
00:29:21.900
yet they will go stand in line with a bunch of other stupid assholes at Walmart, and somehow
00:29:29.120
Man, let me pull you away from the conversation real quick.
00:29:33.140
Now, I know that by now you've probably heard me talk about our new battle ready program.
00:29:37.580
Over the past few weeks, I've received hundreds, if not thousands of emails and direct messages
00:29:45.160
with testimonials from men who are getting crystal clear on exactly what they want out
00:29:50.060
of life, and then formulating a plan to make that a reality.
00:29:53.120
So if you too want to grab your life by the balls, frankly, and get more done by the end
00:29:58.440
of this year, then maybe you have at any other point in your life, then join the free battle
00:30:02.260
ready program at order of man.com slash battle ready.
00:30:06.660
When you do, you're going to get a series of emails over the course of 30 days that will
00:30:10.560
walk you through four very important and often overlooked phases of the planning and prep
00:30:18.520
preparing for your success on both the personal and professional front.
00:30:26.000
You can do that at order of man.com slash battle ready order of man.com slash battle ready.
00:30:31.380
All right, guys, let's get back to it with Sean.
00:30:53.480
Anyways, dude, I don't know where we're going to go.
00:30:56.440
I do know, though, that unless we, the people, create a change, and as the old saying goes,
00:31:12.700
And that's the problem is when you fear monger, what happens?
00:31:17.660
You literally will get anybody to do anything you want.
00:31:20.020
And what you're seeing is people that are so broke and so miserable and so unable to make
00:31:24.320
their own decisions and so completely inept that they're literally doing what the most
00:31:28.240
corrupt human beings on the planet, our elected officials, are telling them to do.
00:31:32.780
You know, what's funny is you're talking about the Declaration of Independence.
00:31:36.840
It reminds me of, and I've seen this meme floating around in the office, Michael Scott.
00:31:43.500
And he thinks that's all you need to do to like declare.
00:31:46.340
No, it actually needs to be backed up with action.
00:31:50.540
Bro, did you see, you want to see, you want to know something crazy?
00:32:05.460
I feel my heart goes out to my buddy, BJ Baldwin, because nobody ever wants to be in a situation
00:32:09.700
like he was just in where he had to take someone's life to defend and protect he and his girlfriend.
00:32:15.400
I never, ever, ever, ever have to have that situation.
00:32:17.560
But make no mistake, dude, if it's between me and you, and I watched these guys in Texas
00:32:27.000
And they went and they stood in front of the business.
00:32:29.260
And the second the police came, they were like, oh, no, oh, no.
00:32:34.140
If you don't have the conviction to support that shit, stay the fuck home.
00:32:43.260
I just, we live in a day and age where we forget that this country, the liberty that
00:32:48.920
you and I have right now to be even able to talk about this shit, was literally created
00:32:53.120
by a bunch of people who created, who literally, they were treasonous.
00:32:59.600
The people that signed the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration and the Constitution
00:33:04.400
and stuff, they're literally signing their death warrant.
00:33:13.400
And the problem is, is we have this war going on between, you know, how far will the government
00:33:19.200
truly push before something snaps or somebody gets shot?
00:33:24.600
I pray to God, no police officer ever gets shot.
00:33:27.100
I'm a huge supporter of the first responders, then blue line, the entire fucking deal.
00:33:31.140
But make no mistake, if I don't care your badge, I don't care your fucking title.
00:33:38.220
You come at me while I'm playing with my kids on this sovereign fucking land.
00:33:46.760
I'm not saying this to be hardcore on Ryan Mickler's podcast.
00:33:55.160
But this is the true reality happening in this country is how far are people willing to
00:34:01.920
go before they draw a real line and they stand on the side of freedom?
00:34:09.140
That might mean the tree of liberty being watered with fucking blood.
00:34:17.200
If you try and infringe on my freedoms, my liberty, I carry these weapons to ensure that.
00:34:30.240
We have the right and responsibility to ensure that that's the case.
00:34:37.800
It's not only our right in the Declaration of Independence, but it is our duty, duty to
00:34:51.680
It says it right in the Declaration of Independence.
00:34:53.580
Because if the government becomes so corrupt and so bad, it's not only our right, it's
00:35:03.160
And you get a bunch of fucking ass clowns that show up with their fucking guns going,
00:35:16.420
My concern is that we're to that point where, you know, it's going to go that route.
00:35:24.000
And I hope we can do it in a situation, in an environment where we just all show up and
00:35:28.480
we vote these jokers out because if that doesn't happen, then things are going to go.
00:35:43.880
You want to know why 17 million people took to the streets in Venezuela and why they
00:35:48.100
overthrew the government, why they went down that path?
00:35:54.480
The problem in America and the reason that what you and I know and believe, the reason
00:35:59.800
that that won't happen is simply because we're too comfortable.
00:36:06.320
And until one of those things goes missing, people are just going to keep doing the same
00:36:15.360
I mean, maybe that's part of the strategy, right?
00:36:17.020
Is if we can just keep you just enough where you feel happy and satisfied and content to
00:36:20.800
the point where you won't rise up and you won't rebel, then we're okay.
00:36:35.560
It's really unfortunate we're in this situation.
00:36:37.420
I think it takes us, you guys like you and me and everybody else who might be listening
00:36:40.460
to this podcast to really step up and to have some weight behind their words and their
00:36:47.260
You can't be, guys like you and I, though, I know where you'd stand and you know where
00:36:51.480
The problem is, is people like this, this is the issue.
00:36:53.740
This is, it goes back to what I was just talking about.
00:36:56.560
As I say stuff like this and everybody, then there's other patriots.
00:37:11.120
I'm staying a free man because that's what I was not only blessed with through my divine
00:37:16.460
creator, but through these documents that this country is found on.
00:37:20.120
I ensure my safety in myself, which is why I carry weapons.
00:37:24.640
And I can tell you that like, I'm not looking for a fucking fight.
00:37:30.300
I'm not going to go rage on fucking police and shit like that, but I will stand my ground
00:37:35.560
And, and, and if everyone else did, then we would have power.
00:37:40.900
Then we would be able to unify and go, but we don't, we literally have Americans, even
00:37:45.920
patriots who are willing to lay down their arms.
00:37:51.120
And we've been seeing, we've been seeing that we've seen it.
00:37:53.240
And so I think a lot of people need to step back and check the shit that they say, because
00:37:56.900
they truly won't stand behind what it is that they think they believe.
00:38:03.840
I think it's a whole lot easier to talk about these things than to actually do anything about
00:38:07.680
And the time has come where it's, you know, maybe time to do something about it.
00:38:10.880
You know, even my wife and I, we went out yesterday.
00:38:13.300
We went to this store and the guy had a mask on and my wife said, do you, do you, do we need
00:38:19.920
He's like, I'm going to wear a mask, but it's a free country.
00:38:24.100
You guys make the decision that's in your best interest.
00:38:30.580
Like if you want to wear a mask, bro, wear a mask by all means.
00:38:36.860
That's why these people saying to me, oh, Sean, do it for everybody else.
00:38:43.460
That's the, what don't people don't fucking get, man.
00:38:49.880
Oh, Sean, you just want to get everybody sick and kill everybody.
00:38:53.200
I'm looking at shit and I realize this ain't real.
00:38:57.680
You're the one being told what to do with no credible evidence, with no fucking logic,
00:39:04.380
So no, don't call me some murderer just because I don't want to fucking wear a mask.
00:39:25.940
This is just to help everybody, to make sure it doesn't go crazy.
00:39:32.500
We're just going to slowly roll everything out, just to be sure, and all the fucking sheep
00:39:43.940
I think you had made a post on Facebook or Instagram where you just, but you basically
00:39:48.660
You don't, you're, if you're waiting for somebody to say, okay, now it's okay to open up.
00:39:53.800
We just found out that California and Governor Newsom is attempting to keep it closed for another,
00:39:59.360
not only, so what he said is this, he said three months, but then he also said and placed
00:40:03.560
some stipulations that said, once we see no coronavirus death, coronavirus death in 14 days,
00:40:14.580
They just set precedence for this thing to go forever.
00:40:25.400
So, I mean, basically it sounds like you're encouraging and I would encourage, if you
00:40:29.000
want to open your business, open your business.
00:40:33.900
If you're going to stand out there with a fucking gun, stand out there with a fucking
00:40:43.640
You bring 300 people to a park, they ain't going to arrest everybody.
00:40:52.800
This country was founded by people that didn't wait for freedom.
00:40:57.580
Our government is not going to say, okay, here's the green light.
00:41:08.440
And the longer we let this thing keep going and we don't open up, we don't fucking go.
00:41:27.920
A lot of people are giving me shit because we closed and I just real talk to be completely
00:41:33.520
Um, and I, I have been in my partner's ears every fucking day.
00:41:39.560
And you know, that's the only reason that thing's not open.
00:41:42.500
But are things officially locked down in, in Las Vegas?
00:41:53.120
That town is getting just absolutely obliterated, bro.
00:41:58.360
Like people's bit, they won't be able to come back.
00:42:01.120
This is what most of these assholes don't understand.
00:42:03.340
You spend 10 years building a business and in a matter of two, three, four months, it's
00:42:08.340
And all of a sudden the government goes, open back up.
00:42:18.200
Like everybody would like to believe it's not happening.
00:42:20.780
This is going to literally obliterate people's lives.
00:42:24.120
Bob Johnson, who has his plumbing company, he had to lay all of his people off.
00:42:30.860
They're going other places trying to find work.
00:42:33.520
Like people are not fucking thinking this through and they're not pissed off enough.
00:42:36.540
Because they're fucking fat and happy with their, with their crumbs.
00:42:40.060
Government's just giving the peasants their crumbs.
00:42:45.240
I've got, I've got friends who own businesses who have decided to reopen and they've invited
00:42:53.220
their employees back to come work and their employees are like, nah, we're good.
00:42:56.560
Cause the benefits they're receiving are greater than what they would do from work.
00:43:05.940
I can't imagine anybody saying, I don't want to go out and produce.
00:43:08.620
I just want, I mean, I know that it's real, but it's a wild thing.
00:43:22.540
What's in the best interest for me, for my freedom, for my family.
00:43:29.300
It's like, focus on you, improve yourself, improve your capabilities, your skillset,
00:43:36.560
Encourage your wife and then work out from there.
00:43:38.160
Your neighbors, your friends, your colleagues, your coworkers continue to work out from there.
00:43:41.620
I see so many people who are like, man, I want to change the world.
00:43:49.020
Everybody wants to change the world, but they're too terrified to look inside, man.
00:43:55.900
What's the best advice you can give me during this downturn, during this whole thing?
00:44:02.740
Like, guys, this is the beauty about the internet, the World Wide Web.
00:44:10.560
I've been saying the same thing for six months, eight months, 12 months, long before the scandemic
00:44:14.980
I've been telling people, get your shit in order.
00:44:20.480
There will be a time where you're going to need to stand on your own two feet.
00:44:29.100
Entrap people so that they literally can't go do anything.
00:44:55.060
It's difficult because, you know, no one wants to be in the dark.
00:45:01.140
But the truth is, the greatest lessons I've ever learned in my entire life came in the
00:45:08.840
It exposed where people were financially, where they were emotionally, where they were
00:45:12.720
And at the end of the day, man, the tide went out.
00:45:19.620
I say it because that sting that you feel now, knowing that you can't provide for your
00:45:23.660
family, bro, man, the guy who's listening to this, who knows that he can't fucking provide
00:45:33.900
It ain't order a man or lion's not sheep's fault.
00:45:40.620
Like, create that, like, step into that humility and realize, fuck, dude, I'm not free.
00:45:46.820
And now be motivated to go fucking follow Ryan Mickler, to follow Sean, to do those things
00:45:59.300
It's like I learned some things from you or something.
00:46:09.940
If you're hearing this right now and you think I'm a dick, fuck you.
00:46:16.040
I've been doing the shit I've been telling people to do for a year.
00:46:28.340
I don't feel bad that I'm racing fucking cars, having the time of my life.
00:46:39.420
Become fucking ruthlessly committed to your freedom, to having money, to putting cash
00:46:44.900
in the bank, to having assets, making you money.
00:46:59.180
I don't have any other words like, because I'm like, yeah, yeah.
00:47:29.240
We had a guy in the Facebook group the other day.
00:47:31.160
He was asking about how to, like, he struggles with being disciplined with his eating.
00:47:39.320
I'm like, dude, like, what other advice do you need?
00:47:42.220
What could anybody possibly tell you that you don't already know?
00:47:47.020
The real question is, why do you keep doing it?
00:47:51.960
Why do you keep doing things that you know you don't want to do?
00:48:05.600
Nobody made you put a cheeseburger in your mouth.
00:48:14.840
And if it's time to eat, I get two chicken sandwiches and a bunch of fucking broccoli.
00:48:20.380
Every restaurant on the planet has chicken sandwiches and broccoli, motherfucker.
00:48:40.300
I'm not going to pretend it's farm-raised, grass-fed, whatever.
00:48:42.920
However, go get three of those chicken sandwiches.
00:49:04.160
I think we're just going to put them out back to back so the guys can hear it because
00:49:11.800
And that's one of the things I worry about most with what we're doing.
00:49:41.780
Do you want to know what I'm going to tell you to do tomorrow?
00:49:50.320
Have a clearly defined map of how you're going to make money.
00:49:57.040
Hey, one testimony I want to give you on this is I remember a couple of years I came to one of the Lions Not Sheep events.
00:50:05.840
I was like a two and a half or three day event or whatever it was.
00:50:08.580
And I remember you had us all list out our roadmap on not what only we wanted, but how exactly we were going to get to that point and what we're going to do on a daily basis to get there.
00:50:17.760
And I came up with some ideas and you had shared some insight.
00:50:21.680
You're like, no, it's not specific enough, man.
00:50:26.120
And I wrote down that I wanted to make, I wanted to have a $30,000 a month, 30, 30 days, right?
00:50:32.240
Like I want to make $30,000, $1,000 a day in 30 days in this timeframe.
00:50:36.220
And what was amazing about it, amazing about it is I didn't stop there, right?
00:50:53.520
I pulled up my account and sure enough, man, I hit like $32,000 on day 87 for that month.
00:51:00.220
And I was like, yes, what Sean is talking about is real.
00:51:15.060
I just, you're one of the people that I've been blessed to have a part of my life and
00:51:23.040
And this isn't from me being better than anybody.
00:51:48.320
And my goal is to have Lions Not Sheep Apparel doing a million dollars a month of sales by
00:51:57.840
I was doing the math with my kids saying it's about $33,000 a day is what we need to be doing.
00:52:03.980
And my kids are like, what are we doing now, dad?
00:52:14.760
I'm like, yeah, we're doing like right now about $2,000 to $3,000 a day in sales.
00:52:19.620
And my son's like, that's like 10 times the amount.
00:52:23.460
I said, well, you better get faster at your fucking job or I'm going to replace your ass.
00:52:27.180
But dude, I have very clear goals of how I'm going to do that.
00:52:35.680
And I've built a map on exactly how I am going to do that in Q2, Q3, Q4.
00:52:43.600
Because I think a lot of people, they outthink themselves, right?
00:52:48.100
So they're like, oh, well, if I do this and I create this and I do it this way, I know
00:52:53.000
And then maybe I'll take what he has to share and some of this and some of that.
00:52:56.640
It's like, I guess for me, I feel like I've always been, I don't know, too dumb or hard
00:53:01.480
headed or whatever, however you want to look at it and say, okay, that guy knows what
00:53:06.820
And, and I'll probably produce similar results.
00:53:09.180
Like, I'm not going to recreate a bunch of shit.
00:53:17.680
He's been selling products online for 10 years.
00:53:20.360
One of the, I mean, the dude does hundreds of thousands of dollars a day of sales.
00:53:26.360
Why do you think I'm, I'm picking, picking his brain all day long?
00:53:28.980
Why do you think it is that I put myself in proximity of power?
00:53:31.320
I put myself around successful people that are doing what I want to be doing.
00:53:36.780
Find somebody doing what you want to be doing and pay them.
00:53:39.540
I have chosen to invest my money and my time to spend more time around Jason.
00:53:57.640
My conversation with the one and only Sean Whalen.
00:53:59.740
I hope that you laughed and you cried and you got mad and you got motivated and every
00:54:04.000
other spectrum of emotions that you could have experienced in any singular conversation.
00:54:11.700
I know that some of you maybe were rubbed the wrong way, but regardless, these are the
00:54:18.500
They're unscripted, they're raw, and I always walk away with at least one new insight or
00:54:26.800
new perspective that causes me to think differently about my life and then ultimately to perform
00:54:36.320
We want to have and do and be more than we currently are.
00:54:40.080
So if that conversation resonated with you, connect with me, connect with Sean on the socials.
00:54:45.820
He's on Instagram, Facebook, I think he's very active on Facebook more so than Instagram.
00:54:49.680
I'm mostly active on Instagram, connect with us regardless.
00:54:52.880
Let us know what you thought about the conversation, share it on, on social media.
00:54:57.400
Last time I had Sean on, you guys blew up the Instagram stories.
00:55:01.340
Keep doing that because that's how people are going to see this stuff.
00:55:03.420
So blow up the messages, blow up the stories, reshares, all those kinds of things, because
00:55:07.900
it goes a long way in making sure more men get this message and hear what needs to be
00:55:14.740
Also, take two seconds, leave the rating, the five-star rating.
00:55:18.620
All you have to do is click on those five stars.
00:55:21.280
And again, if you feel so inclined, you can leave a review as well.
00:55:26.960
Guys, we'll be back tomorrow for the Ask Me Anything with my co-host, Kip Sorensen.
00:55:31.900
But until then, go out there, take action and become the man you are meant to be.
00:55:36.200
Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast.
00:55:39.060
You're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant to be.
