Order of Man - Where to Start on Your Self-Development Journey ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart

00:00:05.020 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

00:00:10.480 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.280 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.880 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler.

00:00:27.960 I'm your host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here today.

00:00:33.400 If you're just finding us, we've been around since 2015. So we are coming up on almost eight

00:00:40.980 years now, which is crazy to think about how far we've come and what we've been able to do

00:00:45.000 in the mission to reclaim and restore masculinity. And that is what we're all about, specifically

00:00:50.380 with this podcast, giving you the tools and information and resources and connections

00:00:55.460 that you need to thrive. And that's what I'm going to be talking with you about today for

00:00:59.780 our Friday Field Notes. I'm going to be talking about where you should start on your self-development

00:01:05.280 journey. Because if we're being honest, around this time of year, we start reflecting on what

00:01:10.880 we've done in the past. We start reflecting on what we want to do in the future, moving into

00:01:14.740 2023. And so this is something that's on everybody's mind. So I am going to be sharing with

00:01:21.560 you a couple of things that probably you've heard of, let's be frank. And I'm going to

00:01:26.360 share with you a couple of things that I think might be different because I want it to be

00:01:31.700 different. Because if it's the same advice you've always heard, but you're not implementing

00:01:35.560 it for whatever reason, then it's not going to serve you and you're not going to do better.

00:01:39.380 So we're going to get into that. Before I do, I just want to mention that I'm very excited

00:01:43.920 to let you know after months of telling you about it, that our exclusive brotherhood,

00:01:48.220 the Iron Council is officially open. If you don't know what this is, it's a group of men

00:01:54.920 working together, having conversations, holding each other accountable, working through challenges

00:02:00.500 that we offer, assignments and topics that we flesh out and give to you guys so that you

00:02:06.480 know how to develop and build yourself as a man. And we are open for enrollment until the

00:02:13.900 end of the year. So for about two weeks. So do it quick. If you want to join us and you

00:02:18.360 can do that at order of man.com slash iron council, order of man.com slash iron council.

00:02:24.060 I'm going to talk about that in a minute too, though. So for now, let's get to where to start

00:02:28.960 on the self-development journey. I would say number one exercise. I know it's common advice.

00:02:36.700 I know that you probably hear that all the time. You might be overlooking it because it sounds

00:02:41.540 so simple or everybody suggests it. I'm just telling you right now that the best thing that

00:02:46.720 you can do right now today, if you want to start on improving yourself as a husband, a

00:02:53.060 father, a business owner, a community leader, a coach, a mentor, a friend, a teacher, a boss,

00:02:59.900 an employee, et cetera, is start going to the gym. And I'll tell you why, because when you

00:03:06.920 do not only are you going to almost immediately start to feel better physically, mentally,

00:03:13.460 emotionally, you're also going to start seeing changes very quickly, especially if you're

00:03:19.220 out of shape significantly. The closer you are to being in ideal shape, it's a little bit

00:03:25.820 like that law of diminishing return. You probably won't see or notice the gains or improvement

00:03:30.920 as quickly, but if you are severely obese or you are drastically out of shape, by going to the gym,

00:03:39.120 you're going to start to notice those physical improvements and changes immediately, which gives

00:03:44.640 you a little bit of fuel. And let's be honest, we all need a little fuel sometimes. I know motivation

00:03:49.520 gets a bad rap because it's fleeting and it's not as good as discipline and whatever, but motivation's

00:03:55.080 a good thing. So let's not beat up on motivation. If you're motivated because you lost a pound or two

00:04:02.120 or five pounds on the scale this week, and you're motivated enough to go back into the gym, then I

00:04:07.080 would say that motivation was a pretty good tool in that instance. Again, I know it gets a bad rap,

00:04:12.640 but motivation is a good thing. So let's use it how we can. But the other thing it does is it helps you

00:04:19.080 clear your mind. It helps you start thinking about things differently. It gives you the space and the

00:04:26.800 margin to go through difficult and demanding and challenging workouts and then proving to yourself

00:04:32.580 that you're capable of overcoming them. If you're anything like me, whether it's going to the gym or

00:04:37.200 even going to jujitsu, I get done today. I'm sore. I'm a little bit sore. My back's a little bit sore.

00:04:42.340 My legs are a little tight because I've done leg workouts the last couple of days. And I actually

00:04:49.520 feel good in spite of that. Maybe not even in spite, maybe because when is the last time that we as men

00:04:57.100 really had to go struggle? When's the last time we really had to suffer or we really had to work

00:05:02.580 through something? Odds are, we just don't have to do it like we did a hundred or 200 or a thousand

00:05:07.620 years ago. But if you're anything like me, it feels good when you're in a little bit of physical pain

00:05:13.800 because you know, you exerted yourself. You know, you pushed yourself. You know, you did something

00:05:18.960 you thought you should do. And let's not forget about the health benefits of exercising. I mean,

00:05:24.800 losing 10, 15, 20, 30 pounds, what's your stamina going to be like? What's your energy going to be like?

00:05:31.720 What's your attraction level? Not only to your wife or significant other, but also to

00:05:37.240 potential clients or employers or partners, people you want to work with. They're naturally

00:05:43.580 going to start gravitating more towards you because you're more magnetic because you look better

00:05:48.920 and you walk better. It's not just about the physical looks. It's about the way that you carry

00:05:54.600 yourself, shoulders back, chest out, head a little higher, a little, a little, a hop in your step.

00:06:02.080 We all know of the benefits of exercise. And yet so few of us are willing to go and do it.

00:06:07.240 Why? Oh, I'm busy. I don't have a workout. I don't know a coach. There's not a gym near me.

00:06:12.580 All of that stuff. Those are all excuses. I'm busy. Who isn't busy? In fact, I know most of the guys

00:06:22.740 that go to the gym that I know of are extremely busy and yet they find time to do it. They go to

00:06:28.260 bed a little earlier so they can wake up earlier. Maybe they do it on their lunch break. Okay. So

00:06:33.880 I'm busy is not an excuse. I'm tired, right? Of course you're tired because you're carrying around

00:06:39.980 30 or 40 pounds extra of weight around your midsection and you have no energy to carry it

00:06:45.160 around. Imagine if you weren't carrying a plate and a gym plate around your midsection all day,

00:06:52.860 every day. Or imagine if you didn't have that extra layer of fat that's trying to strangle you 0.54

00:06:58.440 for eight hours as you're trying to sleep at night. Of course you don't have any energy.

00:07:04.060 So what's the solution? Lose the weight, get in shape, build strength, build cardio, build stamina

00:07:10.300 so that you aren't as tired. And yes, it's going to be hard at first because your body's not used to

00:07:17.260 you doing something, but you're going to feel better very, very quickly. What's another excuse?

00:07:23.880 I don't have a gym near me. You don't need a gym. Do squats, do pushups, do pull-ups,

00:07:29.960 pull things, throw things, lift things, drop things, drag things, push things. That's it.

00:07:36.860 Go outside, swing the ax. You can see I got my jacket on today because it's a little cold.

00:07:42.460 We're supposed to be getting a snowstorm this weekend. And a lot of people around here are

00:07:47.320 chopping wood for their wood-burning stoves. There's a good workout. No gym required.

00:07:52.120 Just an ax and a tree. Guys, that is an excuse. I don't have a gym near me, so I can't do anything.

00:07:59.680 What did your ancestors do? Did they go to these climate-controlled gyms? Did they pick up these

00:08:06.080 perfectly machined, symmetrical, balanced bars and weights? No, that would have been laughable.

00:08:13.040 But why were they in shape? Because they were running. They were throwing. They were jumping.

00:08:17.560 They were pulling. They were lifting. They were pushing. If you're using, I don't have a gym near

00:08:25.220 me as an excuse, then really you just don't want to go to the gym. And then just say that.

00:08:30.700 At least you're being honest. You might be being lazy, but at least you're being honest. Or you could

00:08:36.340 be lazy and a liar. I'd rather be lazy and honest about it. Or better yet, not be lazy and be honest 0.99

00:08:43.440 and get my butt into the gym. It's a no-brainer. All right. I beat that one to death now. 0.80

00:08:52.700 Number two, this one's a little different. I would say that you can go out and you should,

00:08:57.180 if you want to start on your self-development journey, find a hobby.

00:09:01.920 Find and develop a hobby, something that's meaningful and interesting to you.

00:09:05.700 That could be something in the physical realm like picking up martial arts, boxing or jujitsu

00:09:11.920 or wrestling or Muay Thai or whatever. It could be something that is just interesting like learning

00:09:20.620 how to take pictures. So you're getting into photography and you're doing landscape or you're

00:09:24.680 doing family pictures. Maybe you want to learn how to develop and build websites. Maybe you've always

00:09:29.860 been interested in painting. And so you pull up Bob Ross on YouTube and you start going

00:09:35.580 through his lessons because not only is he fun to watch, but you know, you could create some pretty

00:09:39.880 cool art and that's meaningful to you. Maybe you want to take an improv class. Maybe you want to do

00:09:45.200 standup comedy. I don't know. Whatever your thing is, Ryan, what should I do? Whatever you're interested

00:09:51.520 in, you don't need my permission and you don't need anybody else's permission. And what I would

00:09:57.140 suggest to you is there is nothing that is, as far as hobbies go, that are manly or unmanly hobbies.

00:10:05.580 A lot of people will think that, especially when it comes to the arts, painting, instruments,

00:10:11.160 singing, those types of things, cooking, those aren't unmanly things. And it doesn't matter even

00:10:17.780 if they were. What matters is that you find something that's interesting to you and then

00:10:22.620 you go all in on that thing and you learn how to be good at it. And why is this important? Well,

00:10:27.840 it teaches you that you can develop and learn new skills. And so there's an element of pride

00:10:32.100 that comes with that. Uh, this, this past week, my wife was out of town and I don't do hardly any

00:10:38.300 cooking, but we grabbed the instant pot out. She had this cookbook for instant pot. And my oldest 1.00

00:10:43.740 son and I made four or five meals while she was gone to dinners. And it was actually a lot of fun.

00:10:49.900 And I know for some of you who may cook and all of that, you're thinking that's, that's ridiculous.

00:10:54.760 That shouldn't be a big deal. It is for me because I just don't cook and I haven't for 20 years.

00:10:59.520 So I started cooking and it was fun. You know, I had a good time with my son, learned some new

00:11:05.780 things, went to the grocery store, figured out where things were, took me way longer to grocery

00:11:09.720 shop than it should have, but it was fun. And I built up just a little bit of confidence in being

00:11:14.840 able to do that. The next part about developing a hobby is it makes you interesting. How dull and

00:11:23.240 bland and boring are most of us. We get up, we do the same routine. We go into an office,

00:11:33.200 we crank out the paperwork, we go to the same places for lunch. We come home, we eat dinner,

00:11:39.740 we have sex the same way. We go to bed at the same time. Our kids and I are having the same 0.97

00:11:44.480 conversations and life is just boring. If you want to start on your self-development journey and you

00:11:50.820 want to improve and get better, make yourself an interesting person. Be interested in lots of

00:11:57.600 different things, dive deep into a few things, and then people will be interested in you. Again,

00:12:03.720 you will, you'll be like a magnet. People will see you and, and think, man, there's really something

00:12:09.400 different to this guy. He's, he's well-rounded. He's well-versed. He's cultured. He knows about

00:12:14.500 cooking. He knows about painting. He knows about martial arts, right? It makes you an interesting,

00:12:19.680 fun person and enjoyable person to be around. And it rounds out some things that maybe you need to

00:12:27.340 work on, like for myself cooking. All right. Next, number three, this one's a little different as

00:12:32.860 well. And this is something that admittedly I've only really started doing over the past couple of

00:12:37.220 weeks, but journaling has been huge for me. Now I get a lot of questions about how I should journal

00:12:42.380 and what should I start with and what should I write and what should this and what should that?

00:12:45.620 I don't actually know. Okay. I don't know. I don't know the perfect plan for journaling. I don't know

00:12:51.440 what system out there is the best. And because there's all kinds of systems you could use.

00:12:57.020 What I've been doing a couple of prompts for me is number one, what did I learn today?

00:13:02.900 What did I learn today? Number two, what went well and what didn't go so well? You know,

00:13:08.580 were there some things that I excelled at? Were there some things that I could have done better?

00:13:12.380 That gives me some forward thinking for tomorrow and moving forward.

00:13:16.180 I also think about what I would want to read or what lessons that I've learned in the day

00:13:22.780 that I would want to read at a future date. So I'm writing to my future self, Hey, here's what I

00:13:27.400 learned about today. And here's why the way I did this one thing wasn't effective. And here's what I

00:13:32.200 would do in the future. Another way you can spin that is that if your children were to get a hold of

00:13:37.080 this journal and they likely will in the next 10 or 15 years, what lessons would you want them to

00:13:42.680 know that you learned today? But there's one big prompt that I use that's been really, really helpful

00:13:48.980 that I have avoided for a very long time. And that is how do I feel? How do I feel?

00:13:56.300 And I'm not just talking about, yeah, I'm happy or I'm down today or I'm mad. Sure. If you're

00:14:04.580 experiencing that, write that down. I'm talking about like deeply, how do you feel about your

00:14:09.540 relationship? How do you feel about the work you're doing? How do you feel when you look at

00:14:16.800 yourself in the mirror? How do you feel when you get upset or offended or triggered by something that

00:14:23.980 some random person says to you? Start documenting how you feel about those things. We don't have

00:14:31.760 enough feeling type conversations because we're men and we're not supposed to feel those things.

00:14:36.000 Wrong. We are supposed to feel those things. And even more important, we're supposed to understand

00:14:41.740 what we're experiencing, why we're feeling the way that we're feeling so that we can use that as

00:14:47.080 feedback to make either the same or different choices in our lives moving forward. If you're happy,

00:14:53.760 I don't think it's enough to know you're happy. If you're feeling fulfilled, I don't think that's

00:14:58.180 enough. I think you should really start to uncover why that's the case. Because if you're like me and

00:15:03.920 you're feeling fulfilled, I want to replicate that today and tomorrow and the next day and the next,

00:15:09.380 I like to feel like that. If I notice myself on edge or uneasy or irritable or resentful or bitter

00:15:18.740 or contentious, I would like to know why I'm feeling that way. And typically it isn't because

00:15:24.480 you got an email from a customer that said the wrong thing. That may have been the straw that broke

00:15:31.360 the camel's back. That may have been the trigger, but there's something underlying there. And if you

00:15:35.880 start to see trends about why you're feeling this way, don't we want to explore that? Don't we want

00:15:41.040 to uncover that? And on the topic of our self-development journey, now we actually have something we can

00:15:46.680 work on. Hey, I don't want to be angry. I don't want to be contentious. I don't want to feel like

00:15:52.980 garbage. I don't want to feel guilty about my behaviors. I don't want to experience those things.

00:15:59.400 So I'm not just going to bury them. I'm actually going to uncover. I'm going to dig them up through

00:16:04.060 journaling. And then I'm going to start putting some plans moving forward that will help me not

00:16:10.460 subdue the way I feel, but actually address the root problem. That's creating that feeling for me.

00:16:19.940 That's powerful. So a lot of the times I think the message, whether it's spoken or unspoken is,

00:16:26.240 Hey man, you're feeling guilty. Get over it. You're feeling sad or lonely. Toughen up.

00:16:33.640 Well, yeah, I mean, you could, and there might be moments, isolated, acute moments where you do need

00:16:41.860 to toughen up for a minute. Like you can't dwell on that for a minute because you have work to do.

00:16:47.400 But if we do that all the time, we're never addressing our problems. And that's not

00:16:53.820 unmanly. Like I think it's manly to actually confront your problems, confront your challenges,

00:17:00.720 live with those feelings. So you can actually do something about it. So those are some prompts

00:17:05.900 I use for the journaling. All right. So guys, we have exercise. We have finding a hobby. We have

00:17:12.180 journaling. And then the next one is organization. I can't tell you how often, you know, maybe randomly

00:17:21.140 I'll catch a ride with somebody and their car is a mess. Like fast food bags and trash in the door

00:17:30.000 and trash in the ground. It isn't vacuuming dog hair. And it's just a mess. And I, if, if your space

00:17:39.320 like that, your car is a mess, that's, that's going to spill over into your effectiveness.

00:17:46.500 It just absolutely is. If your office is a mess, it's a wreck. If your closet's a mess, your drawers,

00:17:53.880 all your clothes are just like thrown in there and it's a mess. Or you have a stack of paperwork up to

00:18:00.320 your eyeballs. And like, it's just messy and cluttered that it's not conducive to success.

00:18:09.880 We know this. It's not organized. It's not effective. It's not efficient. It's that clutter is coming into

00:18:17.600 your mind. It's, it's keeping you from being effective, from you focusing on the things that

00:18:22.120 are important. So what I would suggest to you is write down, maybe even in your journal,

00:18:28.080 write down a list of places that need to be organized. The other day it was my filing cabinet

00:18:35.620 because I have a tendency of in my filing cabinet, I'll file papers. But then when I get mail, I'll

00:18:41.420 just throw on top of the filing cabinet. And so eventually, you know, there's a stack of paperwork,

00:18:46.400 12 inches or 20 inches high on top of my filing cabinet. So the other day I went through and I

00:18:53.560 went through and I, and I organized them. Can that, that one requires action. That piece of paper can be

00:18:58.300 filed. That piece of paper can be thrown away. Here's another one that needs action. This one can

00:19:02.000 be thrown away. And I organized it and it was nice. Like I felt good. I felt good because I organized it.

00:19:09.100 I had, I took care of a few things that I had been putting off. Some that I actually forgot

00:19:13.540 that I was penalized for on some tax issues because I didn't take care of it right away.

00:19:19.740 So I was being productive. And don't we, as men feel better when we're productive?

00:19:26.020 Sometimes you might think, well, there's nothing for me to do. I did all my work. No,

00:19:28.680 there's always something for you to do. Organize your car, clean out your closet,

00:19:33.240 clean out your trunk, clean out your glove box, put your files away, vacuum the carpet,

00:19:37.980 do the dishes, clean the garage. It's always something you can do.

00:19:43.980 And I would make that list of things that you need to organize and just start cranking out.

00:19:49.600 Maybe go through your books. It's a great time to go through books. Hey, what books do I want?

00:19:53.980 What books do I want to give away? I mean, these, these are things you can give away.

00:19:57.140 We can be charitable right now. Maybe just go through your closet and there's

00:19:59.940 stuck clothes that you need to get rid of from three, four, five years ago that you can donate.

00:20:04.540 That like, this is a good time to do that this time of year, or even in your garage.

00:20:10.780 Decorations and tools and all sorts of weird stuff in there that you've completely forgot about.

00:20:16.080 We can donate those things. People might find those things useful where we don't.

00:20:20.940 Anyways, organize your environment. Also your, your computer is another one you can organize.

00:20:26.240 Like I've seen some desktops that are like files just everywhere. Organize that, clean it up,

00:20:32.440 have a system, be systematic. You're going to feel better when you do. All right.

00:20:37.640 And the last one guys is, and admittedly, I will say this disclaimer, a little bit self-serving,

00:20:44.580 but it's also true. Two things can exist at once. It can serve me and it could also serve you. And

00:20:51.080 what I would say to you is that you need to have other men in your corner. There are so many men out

00:20:56.740 there who are flying solo. They're lone wolves and it's a problem. I've been there. And when I'm down

00:21:05.980 and I'm depressed or I'm in my head or I have an issue or I have something I'm struggling with,

00:21:11.420 or maybe I don't, but I'm just not as effective and productive as I could otherwise be.

00:21:16.000 Those are the moments that I need men in my corner who are strong, who are virtuous,

00:21:23.960 who are capable, who care about me, man. You have guys like that in your corner that you can reach

00:21:29.920 out to and say, Hey man, I'm struggling with this thing. What do you think? Or maybe even you don't

00:21:35.000 have to reach out. Maybe they recognize something and they call you. It's like, Hey man, I've noticed

00:21:38.420 you've been off a little bit. What's going on? And there's some humility in there. And I'm using

00:21:45.160 that word as opposed to the word vulnerable. I don't completely like that word. I get what people

00:21:51.080 are saying. I don't think it's vulnerability. I think it's just being humble. Acknowledging that you

00:21:58.700 don't have things all figured out, acknowledging that you aren't as good as you think you are,

00:22:02.600 acknowledging that other people might be served by the lessons that you've learned. Some of the

00:22:07.800 hardest lessons that we've learned, the painful agonizing lessons that we've learned. That's

00:22:15.000 humility. And guys, we need to be humble. And if we are humble, we can find those other men who we

00:22:21.040 can band with. Now, the problem is they're hard to find. Not only do you not know how to do it because

00:22:26.420 you've never done it. And culturally, we've never been taught really how to do this with other men.

00:22:33.700 But even if you did know how to do it, there's few and far men between that actually are interested

00:22:39.360 in that. Why? Because they've been culturally conditioned not to do it either. But there are

00:22:44.200 men out there and there are men who are interested in connecting. There are men who are interested in

00:22:48.500 building up their band of brothers. And that's why we started. And here's where the self-serving

00:22:52.000 part comes in. That's why we started the Iron Council. When I started Order of Man seven and a

00:22:58.580 half years ago, it was difficult for me to find guys like this that were interested in developing

00:23:04.400 and growing and maturing the same way that I was. And so, I created it. And we created the systems and

00:23:10.880 the processes and the planning and the tools and everything that we needed to be able to help you

00:23:16.500 tap into a network of men you already know who are motivated and ambitious. How do we know?

00:23:20.640 Because they've raised their hand and they've got out their credit card and they've said,

00:23:25.640 okay, I'm going to pay for this. I'm going to invest in myself. And I've had a lot of people

00:23:29.720 say, oh, you know what? That's ridiculous. Men paying for friends. You're not paying for friends. 0.99

00:23:35.720 You're investing in relationships. But you wouldn't say that about a woman unless it's a prostitute. 1.00

00:23:44.320 You wouldn't say, oh, you're just paying just to have a woman's company. No, I'm investing in this 0.93

00:23:49.860 woman because I love her. So, I take her to dinner and I buy her things on her birthday and on

00:23:55.160 Christmas or just because. It's not a transactional thing. You do it because you're investing in that

00:24:01.560 relationship. And yet, when it comes to men connecting with other men, it's like, oh,

00:24:06.860 you're paying for friends. No, I'm investing in myself. I'm investing in other men who I know

00:24:14.220 can, I can serve and they can serve me. And it's investment in each other. This is the way of

00:24:20.380 community. We always invest in each other. It may not always be monetary. Maybe it's time. Maybe

00:24:25.420 it's attention. Maybe it's resources. But if you care about something, you invest in it.

00:24:31.640 So, look, if you have a band of brothers and look, I've had guys that have left the Iron Council

00:24:36.340 because they have something local and that's awesome. I wish those guys well. In fact, most of the

00:24:42.580 time I tell them, hey, if there's anything I can do, resources I can provide to you guys, happy to

00:24:46.560 do that because I care about them. I want them to win. But if they have something there, great. If

00:24:51.820 not, and you need to tap into this, then go where the winners are. And they're in the Iron Council.

00:24:58.400 And even the guys that aren't winning, they're on the path to winning. Because look, I'm not winning

00:25:01.860 in every part of life, but I'm trying to be on that path. And I'm trying to surround myself with

00:25:06.560 other men who are there or actively working on getting there. So, you can check that out at

00:25:12.500 orderofman.com slash Iron Council. All right, guys. So, where to start in your self-development

00:25:17.520 journey as we finish up 2022 and move into 2023? Number one, get your butt to the gym. Or if you 0.97

00:25:24.600 don't have a gym and you're using that as an excuse, just get your butt moving. Run, push, pull, lift,

00:25:29.340 et cetera. Number two, find a hobby. And don't worry about whether or not I approve of it. It doesn't

00:25:35.780 have to be jujitsu or archery. I think those things are good. I like those things. You might like those

00:25:40.220 things too, but maybe you like something completely different. And I don't care. Nobody cares. What

00:25:45.000 matters is it's something that's interesting to you and it makes you a more interesting, capable

00:25:49.360 person. Number three, journaling. Give you a lot of prompts on how to journal. Number four,

00:25:55.640 I will say that journaling, the one that I really like is how do you feel and get deep into how you

00:26:02.080 feel? Because we just don't do that enough. Number four, organize your environment, your space,

00:26:07.020 your car, your closet, your garage, your whatever, your computer. And then number five,

00:26:11.980 banding with other solid men. If you have them in your area, do it. If not, or maybe you do and you

00:26:17.560 want to expand that network, then check out the Iron Council. We have men everywhere, literally

00:26:22.380 everywhere. And you can check that out at orderofman.com slash Iron Council. Guys, I want you to

00:26:26.840 kick 2022's butt as we close this thing out. And I don't want you to wait until January 1st or 15th or 30th 0.99

00:26:34.580 to get the ball rolling. Let's get some momentum right now so that when we hit January 1, 2023,

00:26:40.480 we already hit the ground running. You guys get it. Okay. Exercise, hobby, journaling, organizing,

00:26:45.800 and banding with other men. All right, guys, we will be back next week. Until then, go out there,

00:26:51.340 take action, get developed or started on the self-development journey and become the man you

00:26:57.000 are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast. You're ready to take charge of
