00:00:00.000 The reality is, it's like you don't need to take a picture of everything.
00:00:03.940 You don't need to document everything.
00:00:06.640 You don't need to proclaim and profess to the world that you read a book to your daughter
00:00:10.680 tonight before bed.
00:00:12.960 Just do it.
00:00:15.200 Let's spend less time focused on impressing other people and convincing other people that
00:00:20.420 we're moral and good and righteous and instead be those kind of men who are deeply engaged
00:00:25.380 with our wife, with our children, our significant others, other extended family members, and
00:00:30.720 then of course it moves into community members as well.
00:00:33.720 Does the elderly woman who's a widow need her lawn mowed next door? 1.00
00:00:38.240 Well then you should do that.
00:00:40.540 You are the person who should do that.
00:00:42.920 You're a man of action.
00:00:44.440 You live life to the fullest.
00:00:45.900 Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.
00:00:48.820 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.
00:00:52.900 You are not easily deterred or defeated.
00:00:55.380 You are rugged, resilient, strong.
00:00:58.340 This is your life.
00:00:59.440 This is who you are.
00:01:00.840 This is who you will become at the end of the day.
00:01:03.800 And after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:01:07.860 Men, if you're anything like me, you can obviously recognize that there are so many significant
00:01:12.940 challenges in society today.
00:01:15.180 Ultimately, we're seeing a destruction and a degradation of cultural norms and traditions
00:01:21.180 that have served us well throughout human history.
00:01:23.760 And yet we have these pervasive and destructive ideologies that are threatening our way of
00:01:30.180 life.
00:01:31.100 And ultimately, we will not only reap the consequences of these ideologies, but our children will
00:01:39.560 as well.
00:01:40.400 It's very frustrating because at times we think to ourselves, what can one man do when we see
00:01:46.200 society and culture being eroded around us?
00:01:50.360 Well, the answer is not to focus on the macro, but to focus on the micro.
00:01:55.780 Focusing on yourself, your family, your friends, friends, excuse me, colleagues, co-workers, and
00:02:02.100 communities is going to pay large dividends.
00:02:04.540 And it helps you have the maximum impact that you can.
00:02:09.120 For the overwhelming majority of us, we can't have these huge social media followings that
00:02:14.580 will impact millions and tens and hundreds of millions of people.
00:02:18.220 But you can have a conversation with your daughter tonight.
00:02:21.360 You can coach your son's team.
00:02:23.720 You can encourage your neighbor to live a better life.
00:02:26.660 You can train your colleague or your co-worker to improve their financial awareness and financial
00:02:32.960 prosperity and abundance.
00:02:34.720 And yet it's hard because we think that in order to be the men that we want to be, we
00:02:39.540 need to impact the most amount of people possible.
00:02:43.280 And while that's not entirely true, I would suggest that if we can go deep and we can really
00:02:48.600 serve those smaller circles who we have an immense ability to serve and to lead and to train
00:02:55.260 and to coach and to inspire, that's going to be significantly better than focusing on
00:03:00.380 everybody, but not really getting any sort of impact with those individuals.
00:03:04.680 Now, guys, I'm going to talk about some strategies for you.
00:03:07.260 Before I do, I want to mention that we have our store is not only has it been open, but I
00:03:13.440 know it's been low on supply.
00:03:15.560 We've got a huge inventory that just came in over the past several weeks.
00:03:20.000 So we've got, I think, eight or nine shirts that have been completely restocked, two new
00:03:24.740 shirt designs.
00:03:25.780 We've got new hats, including this one that I'm wearing right here, the classic curve.
00:03:29.420 And I believe five different color iterations and some other hats available to you.
00:03:33.820 So if you want to support what we're doing here, which is to reclaim and restore masculinity,
00:03:37.980 you can do that by going to store.orderofman.com and picking up your merchandise.
00:03:44.040 I think I have the Be Unreasonable shirt on today.
00:03:46.640 Picking up your merchandise, looking good in the process, letting people know what you're
00:03:50.200 about, and then also supporting what we're doing here so we can continue to do it in large
00:03:54.320 and big ways.
00:03:55.620 All right, guys, with that said, let me talk a little bit about society being lost.
00:04:00.340 Again, as I said in the opener, we know you can recognize it.
00:04:05.420 You acknowledge it.
00:04:06.180 You see people who are depressed and anxious and suicidal.
00:04:11.020 You see trans ideology permeating every fabric of society.
00:04:15.440 You see the degradation and destruction of institutions that we once held dear, like church,
00:04:20.440 for example, and even community programs that were designed specifically for boys and men.
00:04:25.880 You see the rise in drugs and the epidemic of male loneliness.
00:04:30.860 Also, the violence that continues to increase.
00:04:34.540 Lawlessness, a complete disregard for the American way of life.
00:04:38.600 Open borders.
00:04:39.600 I mean, you name it, we can discuss it.
00:04:42.120 We can talk about it.
00:04:42.940 We can complain about it.
00:04:43.920 And we can be frustrated about it.
00:04:45.240 And we should.
00:04:46.180 We ought to be frustrated about those things.
00:04:48.340 But ultimately, there is so much beyond our control that it becomes not a sense of hope
00:04:55.380 and optimism, but a sense of frustration and even contention because we acknowledge the
00:05:01.500 challenges and the issues that we see around us.
00:05:03.740 And yet we feel like our hands are tied behind our backs, unable to do anything about it.
00:05:09.020 What I would suggest in those cases is to not so much worry about society being lost, but
00:05:15.360 worry about building your own society in the micro.
00:05:19.120 And how do you do that?
00:05:20.100 Well, at the smallest unit possible.
00:05:22.400 Number one, it starts with yourself.
00:05:24.720 I know that when I'm not doing what I know I ought to be doing, what I should be doing to
00:05:30.280 work towards my goals, that I become more frustrated with external circumstances, things
00:05:35.860 outside of my control.
00:05:38.020 But when I'm doing the right things and I'm focused on myself, there's a lot more hope
00:05:42.580 and optimism, and I'm better able to serve the people around me.
00:05:46.280 So what I would suggest to you, and I wrote some things down here, these are not new things
00:05:49.940 to you, but I really want you to take these 10 or so things to heart and ask yourself,
00:05:55.280 maybe on a scale from 1 to 10, where you stand with each one of these things and how you
00:05:59.900 can get better in each one of these areas.
00:06:02.140 Number one, exercise.
00:06:04.220 Are you exercising every single day?
00:06:06.480 A lot of the times we want to focus on what everybody else is doing, but we're not asking
00:06:10.320 ourselves what we're doing.
00:06:11.960 Do you have extra 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 pounds that you can get rid of?
00:06:16.380 And can you exercise?
00:06:18.700 Go train to the gym.
00:06:20.120 Go for a walk.
00:06:21.080 Go for a hike.
00:06:22.280 Do jujitsu.
00:06:23.300 We all know what exercise is.
00:06:24.720 Be active.
00:06:25.560 Be moving.
00:06:26.580 Even if you're stuck in an office, like I am most of the time, behind my desk and computer,
00:06:30.660 I can still get down and I can crank out 20 pushups between podcast guests or between
00:06:36.420 a dozen or so emails that I send out.
00:06:39.040 I have these TRX bands that I can throw in my door jam and I can do different shoulder
00:06:45.600 movements, ab movements, chest workouts, lunges, different things that I can do because I have
00:06:51.620 these bands available to me.
00:06:52.740 This is not rocket science and it's not hard.
00:06:55.880 It's very simple.
00:06:56.660 Uh, you just have to be willing to do it and acknowledging that if you want to improve
00:07:01.480 society, then it starts with the lowest common denominator for all of us, which is ourselves.
00:07:07.400 Number two, diet.
00:07:08.740 Are you eating junk food?
00:07:09.980 Are you eating donuts?
00:07:10.840 Are you eating processed sugars?
00:07:12.100 Are you eating or drinking too much soda?
00:07:14.320 Uh, are you consuming way too much alcohol or doing other irreparable damage to your body
00:07:20.720 by vaping or smoking or other drugs that you may ingest into your body?
00:07:26.060 Guys, get your diet on lock.
00:07:28.320 I'm not going to say that I'm the epitome of health when it comes to my diet, but I know
00:07:32.700 that when I don't eat properly and correctly, and there's even certain foods that I've identified
00:07:37.140 for me that don't agree with my body.
00:07:39.840 I'm sluggish.
00:07:40.680 I'm tired.
00:07:41.480 I'm ineffective.
00:07:42.180 I lose energy and I'm not nearly as focused as I can be on myself and the people around
00:07:47.980 me.
00:07:48.700 Next read.
00:07:50.040 I've got a stack of books over there.
00:07:51.720 Now I have the luxury of having this podcast.
00:07:54.440 So I have guests that I need to prepare for that have written books.
00:07:57.340 And so I've always got a stack of books that I can read from, but guys go to your library,
00:08:01.720 go to Barnes and Noble, whatever you need to do to get books in your hand.
00:08:05.440 Even if you have to listen to them on your commute, that's fine.
00:08:08.380 I don't think that's as advantageous as reading, actually reading a book.
00:08:12.360 But if you have to listen to it on two times speed to get through it and crank it out on
00:08:16.340 your commute, because you have an hour commute each way, by all means, whatever you can do
00:08:20.620 to acquire new information.
00:08:22.320 Next sleep.
00:08:23.660 This one's overlooked, especially in the self-help development world.
00:08:26.960 So many of us are thinking to the things like, I can sleep when I'm dead and I don't need
00:08:31.860 sleep.
00:08:32.340 And we pride ourselves on not needing as much sleep as our bodies probably ought to have.
00:08:36.580 It's, this is a hard one for me personally, but I know that when I go to bed on time and
00:08:41.960 I have set up my bedroom, a conducive to getting a good night's rest, meaning no lights, completely
00:08:48.880 black sound is, is where I want it to be.
00:08:52.520 Uh, temperature is where I want it to be distraction free.
00:08:56.120 I wake up re-energized, rejuvenated, ready to take on the world and do what I need to
00:09:01.800 do next.
00:09:02.820 What are your hobbies?
00:09:04.380 What activities and interest are you participating in?
00:09:07.180 Not for work, not for making money, not things necessarily, even with your family, all of those
00:09:12.580 things are important, but what are you doing for yourself?
00:09:15.040 How do you re-energize?
00:09:16.440 Is it going for a hike?
00:09:18.040 Is it going on a hunt occasionally with some buddies?
00:09:20.340 Is it doing painting or photography?
00:09:22.540 What do you find joy and value in that you're not necessarily making money from?
00:09:26.560 You just do it because of the inherent value and joy that it brings into your life.
00:09:31.420 Also meditate.
00:09:33.220 And I would say these next three or four fall into the same category, but meditating, journaling,
00:09:39.060 reading scriptures, and praying.
00:09:41.180 This is all a level of self-reflection.
00:09:43.320 This is all tapping us into a power beyond ourselves, a greater power that can give us
00:09:49.280 some context in the way that in which we're supposed to show up in life.
00:09:52.380 But meditating, silence, quiet, turning the phone off, not having your kids bounce all
00:09:57.640 over you or your wife asking you to do projects around the house, but just pure quietness, journaling,
00:10:04.860 reflecting about your day, thinking about what you did, thinking about what you didn't do,
00:10:08.500 thinking about how you'd like to improve and get better.
00:10:10.600 Reading scriptures gives us a framework for the way in which we're meant to operate.
00:10:15.320 These words are thousands of years old, and they're those words canon because they work
00:10:23.400 and they're valuable.
00:10:25.200 Even from purely a secular standpoint, if you adhere to the principles taught in the Bible,
00:10:32.640 for example, you are going to live a better life.
00:10:35.860 Forget about it.
00:10:36.500 We can extrapolate the religious and spiritual context of it.
00:10:41.640 If you live by those precepts, you're going to have a better life.
00:10:46.520 It's going to be more profitable, more fulfilling, more rewarding, more enjoyable, and you're going
00:10:50.740 to help more people along the way.
00:10:52.800 And then, of course, praying, right?
00:10:54.300 Tapping into God, tapping into his infinite wisdom and his power and allowing yourself to
00:11:00.380 get to know him so that you can have some context in the way in which you're supposed
00:11:03.660 to show up in life.
00:11:05.280 Next, skill building.
00:11:07.540 You know, for a man, I think this is so crucial that we constantly work on developing and building
00:11:12.280 skills.
00:11:13.360 As John Eldridge says in his book, Wild at Heart, he talks about the man's need to answer
00:11:19.780 the question, am I enough?
00:11:22.160 And we can't answer that question in the affirmative unless we're willing to develop and build new
00:11:26.880 skills that move the needle.
00:11:29.000 Learn how to communicate.
00:11:30.440 Learn how to ask for promotion.
00:11:31.680 Whatever type of work you do, get the degrees, the credentials, whatever you need to be able
00:11:38.400 to excel in those areas.
00:11:41.020 Learn how to network with other people.
00:11:42.620 Learn how to make money.
00:11:43.540 Learn how to leverage your time.
00:11:44.720 Learn how to delegate.
00:11:46.120 All of these things are powerful, powerful leveraging tools for you to impact your own personal
00:11:51.440 society, not necessarily the society as a whole.
00:11:54.600 And by the way, as we think about trying to serve the greater good and society changing,
00:12:01.880 that we can't ignore the fact that the most powerful thing that we can do is to have millions,
00:12:11.160 tens, if not hundreds of millions of men focusing on themselves and their families and their friends.
00:12:17.760 Imagine if we did that.
00:12:21.320 Imagine if instead of trying to go so broad and trying to save other people and rescue
00:12:25.600 other people, we focused on fixing ourselves and those people around us.
00:12:29.180 But there was tens, if not hundreds of millions of men doing that.
00:12:32.540 That's what's going to move the needle. 0.76
00:12:34.080 And yet we're focused on the macro when we should be focused on the micro.
00:12:38.640 Guys, next from there, we're talking about dealing with yourself.
00:12:41.780 From there, you want to start working with your family, right?
00:12:45.080 You've got a family, you've got a wife, you've got children, you've got extended family.
00:12:49.480 You should take care of those people.
00:12:51.360 Somewhere along the way, we decided that we're going to just completely erode and decimate
00:12:57.220 the family unit as an integral part of a thriving society.
00:13:00.920 And then we replaced it with big daddy government, right?
00:13:04.560 The problem is, is that now everybody almost expects that the government come in to rescue
00:13:10.600 them from their problems.
00:13:11.820 Well, that's not really the way it's ever worked throughout human history.
00:13:16.200 When an individual of the community or of the family had a problem, the family was to
00:13:23.440 take care of it.
00:13:24.580 The people closest to that individual were to take care of it.
00:13:29.000 And it's your job as a patriarch within your household to ensure that you have the means
00:13:34.400 necessary to take care of not only yourself, but the people around you.
00:13:38.400 Guys, if you can't take a little time off in the evenings to coach your son's baseball
00:13:44.120 team or run your daughter to dance practice occasionally, there's a malfunction in the
00:13:49.640 way that you're living.
00:13:51.300 Now, that's not to say that you should be able to do that immediately today, but you ought
00:13:54.900 to be working towards that.
00:13:56.760 Damn, you spend an inanimate amount of time focused on serving your clients and strangers
00:14:04.440 and your boss, and yet we'd never consider that maybe the best thing that we can do with
00:14:09.960 our time is to go coach that little league team or to wake up early and go work out with
00:14:15.840 your son or daughter or to spend a little time reading to them at night.
00:14:20.500 I know it doesn't feel as great in your life because nobody's going to see that on this
00:14:25.800 stupid little device that we call our phones and social media.
00:14:28.680 You know, you often hear the adage, if there's no pics, it didn't happen.
00:14:34.200 Well, it's funny, it's cute, it's clever, but the reality is, it's like you don't need to
00:14:39.040 take a picture of everything.
00:14:40.800 You don't need to document everything.
00:14:43.560 You don't need to proclaim and profess to the world that you read a book to your daughter
00:14:47.620 tonight before bed.
00:14:49.760 Just do it.
00:14:51.020 Let's spend less time focused on impressing other people and convincing other people that
00:14:57.360 we're moral and good and righteous, and instead be those kind of men who are deeply engaged
00:15:02.320 with our wife, with our children, our significant others, other extended family members, and
00:15:07.680 then of course it moves into community members as well.
00:15:10.640 Does the elderly woman who's a widow need her lawn mowed next door? 1.00
00:15:15.140 Well, then you should do that.
00:15:17.480 You are the person who should do that.
00:15:19.340 You know, you see these pictures often where there's two lawns, for example, right next
00:15:25.460 to each other, butted up, and there's no fence in between neighbors, and you'll see a neighbor
00:15:29.300 who will literally mow his own lawn, and they'll create a line because they won't mow into their
00:15:34.020 neighbor's yard, and there's a lot of reasons for that.
00:15:36.700 Obviously, there's some context behind that, but don't be that kind of neighbor, or the one
00:15:41.240 I often get a kick out of is the flight of stairs.
00:15:45.580 You know, from the front door down, it's five, six, seven steps, and you can see that there's
00:15:51.060 some snow, and on half of that step, it's only about three feet wide, so about a foot
00:15:56.440 and a half of shoveled snow.
00:15:58.280 Just shovel the whole stair, okay?
00:16:01.080 Like, serve your family.
00:16:04.060 Serve your community.
00:16:05.760 Help people where they need to be helped.
00:16:07.140 Look for problems.
00:16:07.940 One thing I really actually enjoyed when I was going through harsh Maine winters is my
00:16:13.080 son and I would get in the snow plow, and I would plow my driveway, and we would get
00:16:18.500 in the plow, and we would drive around, and we would see if there was anybody who needed
00:16:21.260 help, and sometimes we'd see people out there with their shovels and their hand pushing snow
00:16:26.060 off their driveway, and we would just pull up and say, hey, can we just plow this real quick
00:16:31.620 for you with the plow I have on my truck?
00:16:34.300 Man, they were so grateful, and it was such a good time between my son and I.
00:16:37.780 We'd go do that, we'd help a half a dozen people out, and then we'd go get a drink,
00:16:41.440 and then we'd head home.
00:16:42.660 It took us a couple of hours, maybe every Saturday morning or something like that, but
00:16:46.200 it was such a fun thing to do, and it was such a great way to give back to the community
00:16:50.940 and serve the people who are under my care.
00:16:54.620 If I'm a neighbor in that community, those people are under my care.
00:16:59.400 Imagine that.
00:17:00.740 Imagine if instead of asking the president to do something to save all of us and fix all
00:17:05.420 of our problems.
00:17:06.220 We just decided to save ourselves, to serve ourselves, to lead other people, to communicate
00:17:11.440 effectively with our neighbors, to get to know your neighbors for crying out loud, to
00:17:15.500 understand what they're going through and what they're dealing with, and be excited when their
00:17:18.880 kids graduate high school or college, and go to their kids' games, and have barbecues,
00:17:24.000 and play together, and go on dates with your significant other and their significant other, and just
00:17:28.800 get to know each other, and serve, and lead, and guide, and coach, and help, and this is how
00:17:34.660 we're meant to do it.
00:17:36.240 We've become so large as a society and so connected through, again, these little devices that we
00:17:42.340 have such a difficult time connecting with a person right next door to you, the person
00:17:49.260 that could possibly make a huge and tremendous impact in your life because you're worried about
00:17:54.720 the stranger who lives in Bangladesh, who you've never met, and trying to impress that person.
00:18:01.080 Let's focus on the people next to us.
00:18:03.400 So we've got ourselves, we've got our family, we've got our friends, and now we can move into
00:18:07.880 the realm of helping our colleagues and co-workers.
00:18:10.140 Guys, how much time per day do you spend going into the office, spending time with your colleagues
00:18:15.660 and co-workers, even on a lunch break, you're spending time with those individuals?
00:18:19.260 Man, stop with the competition, stop with the gossiping, and the undermining, and just the
00:18:29.280 toxicity that comes with so many work environments.
00:18:32.880 Man, be that guy, the guy who goes out and leads, the guy who serves, the guys who offer
00:18:37.600 time, and his resources, and his energy, who has an abundance mentality, who isn't afraid
00:18:42.740 that just because he helps Joe get something that he wants, that he can't get what he wants
00:18:47.280 as a man, that isn't how life works.
00:18:50.100 There might be isolated events and experiences where that does happen, but over the long
00:18:54.500 haul, you're going to be better off when you serve other people with an abundance mindset
00:19:00.640 as opposed to being scarce and believing that just because somebody gets theirs that you
00:19:05.100 can no longer get yours.
00:19:06.600 I don't believe that's the way life works, maybe at a time, and maybe in certain aspects
00:19:10.760 it does.
00:19:11.660 But for the most part, when I can help somebody through an introduction or have somebody on a
00:19:16.300 podcast to offer to help them promote their book or their product or their service, or
00:19:21.240 to jump on the call with one of my Iron Council members because they're having a hard time and
00:19:25.580 walk them through whatever they're dealing with or just be a sounding board for them,
00:19:30.240 yeah, sure, there's some investment in that, some time, some energy, some resources, but
00:19:35.240 it's always going to pay dividends.
00:19:37.740 I was talking with Bedros Koulian yesterday.
00:19:42.400 I've got a podcast with him coming out next week that you ought to make sure you subscribe
00:19:45.520 to, and he was talking about this, just the ability to help other people, the ability
00:19:52.340 to serve and lead and guide and coach and instruct, man, it's a beautiful thing, and
00:19:58.500 you'll always get what's coming to you.
00:20:00.260 He used the word karma.
00:20:01.920 We talked a little bit more about it, whether it's karma or the natural law of the universe
00:20:07.660 or a divine being like God, which is what I believe, it will be paid back to you tenfold
00:20:13.460 when you go out to serve others.
00:20:15.720 And then the last thing I would say here is community.
00:20:18.320 So you've got yourself, you've got your family, you've got friends, you've got neighborhood,
00:20:24.180 then you've got your business, colleagues, clients, coworkers, and then you have your
00:20:28.220 community at large.
00:20:30.260 What are you doing to give back?
00:20:31.700 How are you serving?
00:20:33.140 How are you helping law enforcement?
00:20:35.480 How are you helping your other LEOs and firefighters?
00:20:39.420 Are you picking up trash?
00:20:41.820 Are you donating your time and money to charitable organizations that you believe in?
00:20:46.120 Are you running for office, city council or mayor?
00:20:51.320 Things like this.
00:20:52.240 If you're not, and you're more worried about what's going on at the state level or more
00:20:56.380 worried about what's going on at the federal level than what you are worried about going
00:20:59.840 on in the city or county level, I would say your priorities are off a little bit.
00:21:04.120 I'm not saying we shouldn't focus on those things.
00:21:06.140 We should, but we should also make sure that we're focusing on the smallest metric and unit
00:21:11.800 possible, which is what's happening in our communities.
00:21:14.460 Are you coaching sports teams?
00:21:16.740 Are you giving back?
00:21:18.080 Are you donating your time and money and energy?
00:21:20.660 Guys, these things are so much more powerful than worrying about what's going on at the federal
00:21:25.700 level.
00:21:26.280 And trust me, I'm not telling you to be ignorant about it.
00:21:29.640 I'm not telling you to ignore what's going on at the federal level.
00:21:33.140 But I'm just suggesting to you that if we as men want to make the type of impact I believe
00:21:38.300 all of us do, then we need to do it where our resources are going to be best put to use.
00:21:44.840 And that's coaching your eight-year-old son's baseball team.
00:21:49.300 That's mowing your neighbor's yard. 0.99
00:21:51.640 That's skill acquisition and development for yourself so you can go out and serve other
00:21:55.760 people.
00:21:56.500 That's helping the guy who's in the cubicle next to you deal with whatever he's dealing
00:22:00.580 with.
00:22:02.320 Guys, we can do so much better on this.
00:22:04.640 And not ironically, we'll be able to move the needle more.
00:22:08.780 I'm not interested in having one guy serve 3 million or 30 million people broadly and
00:22:19.500 on a shallow level.
00:22:20.640 I'm interested in having 10, 30, 100 million men all serving the 5 to 10 people closest
00:22:29.680 to them in a deep and significant way.
00:22:34.280 And that's my call to you today, the guys who listen to this podcast, is first, share this
00:22:39.000 podcast.
00:22:40.040 If there's 100,000 of us listening to this podcast today, I would like this podcast to
00:22:44.680 reach a million people next week.
00:22:46.340 Because that's the goal.
00:22:48.760 Help as many men with the tools and resources that we can, and then they can go out and
00:22:53.900 serve their families, friends, colleagues, coworkers, community members, and neighbors.
00:22:58.580 Guys, we can do better.
00:22:59.620 We have to do better.
00:23:01.240 We can't sit by and watch this culture just slip away from us and continue to be eroded
00:23:05.560 and dissolved and destructed and dismantled.
00:23:08.180 The best way to do it is fix yourself and fix those closest around you.
00:23:13.440 I hope that serves you.
00:23:14.460 If you have other ideas on how to do this, this is a brotherhood.
00:23:17.100 This is a community.
00:23:18.280 So please share.
00:23:19.220 Connect with me.
00:23:20.660 Write me a DM on Instagram.
00:23:22.260 And also, in the meantime, guys, I've said this before.
00:23:25.140 When you have something of value, we have a moral obligation to share it with those who
00:23:29.360 will be positively impacted by what it is that we have.
00:23:33.120 That's the Order of Man podcast, and that's the Order of Man movement.
00:23:36.040 If you've ever gained any value from this, at a minimum, please leave a rating and review
00:23:40.320 because that's a grassroots movement type action where people will begin to see that
00:23:45.500 you are writing a review and more people will be exposed to what we're doing.
00:23:49.260 And also, I would suggest that you just take a screenshot or copy the link of this podcast,
00:23:54.280 whether you're listening on Apple or Spotify or wherever you might listen, and share this
00:23:58.580 with people who need to hear it.
00:24:00.300 There are men, brothers, cousins, colleagues, coworkers, friends, coaches, mentors who need to
00:24:06.020 need this information.
00:24:07.340 And if we have access to it, then we have a moral responsibility to share what could
00:24:12.360 positively impact somebody else's life.
00:24:14.460 Please do that.
00:24:15.480 Let's continue to this mission of reclaiming and restoring masculinity in a society that
00:24:19.740 does not want it.
00:24:21.280 But we know better, and we know what the people around us want, and it's our job to do it.
00:24:25.920 All right, guys, we'll be back next week with my interview with Bedros Koulian.
00:24:29.460 Until then, go out there, take action, and become the man you are meant to be.
00:24:33.240 Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast.
00:24:40.660 If you're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you are meant to be,
00:24:44.700 we invite you to join the order at orderofman.com.
00:24:47.840 We'll be right back.
