Order of Man - Work⧸Life Balance Vs. Work⧸Life Integration ｜ 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

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

00:00:10.440 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.160 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.700 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler.

00:00:27.460 I'm your host. I'm the founder of the Order of Man podcast. Welcome here today. If you are new,

00:00:33.140 I want to let you know that I want to give you all the tools and resources and conversations

00:00:37.740 that you need in your life so that you can reclaim masculinity in your own soul, in your own heart,

00:00:44.100 and also in your home, your business, your community, wherever it is that you're serving.

00:00:50.000 We've been downloaded this podcast anyways, tens of millions of times, and I am just so grateful

00:00:56.880 for you for listening. And I'm also very grateful that you're applying the information

00:01:01.400 that we're extracting from our guests, like Jocko Willink and Terry Crews and Tim Tebow and Tim

00:01:07.780 Kennedy and Andy Frisilla and Ben Shapiro, Matthew McConaughey. I mean, the lineup of the guys that we

00:01:14.680 have on this podcast is phenomenal. And that's a testament to the fact that they want to share the

00:01:19.760 message of manliness and masculinity and that you want to hear it. Today, I want to talk with you

00:01:24.420 about a very important issue, which is something that I hear a lot about. I hear it so often in

00:01:30.240 the Facebook group and in our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council. And that is the idea or the

00:01:34.820 concept of work-life balance, work-life balance. We're going to talk about that. And we're going

00:01:40.740 to talk about what I choose to look at it as, which is work-life integration. And we're going to talk

00:01:46.440 about the pros and cons of each. Now, look, I don't want to get tripped up over semantics.

00:01:50.040 So if you believe that I'm talking about work-life integration, you call it balance by all means,

00:01:55.320 or vice versa. I don't care what you call it. What I want you to understand is the principle of it.

00:02:01.020 Because once you understand the key, the five principles or the six, I think I have six

00:02:05.660 principles that I share with you, you're going to have an easier time balancing or integrating all

00:02:11.440 facets of your life. So let's break this down. Number one, there are no hats that we wear.

00:02:16.880 Okay. You'll often hear that. I got to put my dad hat on. I got to put my work hat on. I got to put

00:02:21.160 my clergy member hat on. I got to put the husband hat on. Guys, let's get rid of that thinking once

00:02:28.160 and for all right now. There's no change of hats, or at least there shouldn't be. There should only

00:02:33.280 be your life and what you do with it. Okay. There's, if you're wearing multiple hats, you are going to

00:02:39.520 be confused at times. You're going to be less effective, less efficient. If you have to be this person

00:02:45.180 over here and that person over here, and then you got to rush over here and there's no time to

00:02:48.380 transition between how you're showing up as a father to the time that you show up as an employee

00:02:53.080 or an employer, there's a lot of inefficiencies in that. And not to mention things are going to fall

00:02:57.700 through the cracks because what if you're playing dad role at work? I'm not going to work out very

00:03:02.240 well. What if you're playing work role at home? I know that's a struggle for me. And my wife will often

00:03:08.140 call me out on it and say things like, are you talking to me or are you talking to your guys?

00:03:13.160 And so I try to integrate all facets of my life so that I'm not a different person where

00:03:18.360 I show up. I want to be the same at work as I do at home, as I am in the community, as

00:03:23.960 I am with my friends, as I am on this podcast, because I don't need to remember what I'm doing

00:03:28.760 when and what hat and what my roles and responsibilities are. It's always the same across the board.

00:03:33.680 Protect, provide, reside. Now, the way we go about doing those things might be different in certain

00:03:39.960 areas of our lives. But at the end of the day, if you're being a completely different man at

00:03:44.560 different places, you're very inefficient and you're not honoring, I don't think, to the degree

00:03:49.020 that we can, we're not honoring the people that are in our lives. So let's get rid of the concept

00:03:54.580 that they're hats and that I have to transfer from one place to the other. And there's this abrupt

00:03:58.700 start and stop. No, it's continual. It's continuity. And that's the integration that I'm talking about.

00:04:04.580 Number two, you have to get your family involved in your business and you have to be involved in

00:04:12.120 the family. This is sometimes a challenge, but if there's opportunities to bring your kids into work,

00:04:19.140 to show them what you do, to help you even with a work project. Now I realize in not all professions

00:04:25.260 is that going to work, but if you can have your kids help you with work projects, if you can have

00:04:30.300 them see what your office looks like, if you can have them help you decorate maybe even your office

00:04:34.140 or you're helping them buy tools for you that you can use by giving them or your wife hints on what

00:04:41.400 maybe you, what tool you need so that you can grow out your business. Now all of a sudden they feel

00:04:45.600 part of the business. They don't look at it and think, well, you know, dad leaves at 8am and he

00:04:50.040 doesn't come home until six o'clock at night and I never see him and I don't know what he's doing.

00:04:53.880 No, if you can integrate them into your work process, then they're going to know. And not only are

00:04:58.860 they going to know, they're going to buy into the idea that you are going out to serve,

00:05:03.260 to help, to solve problems, to fix things with the solutions that you have, and they will be

00:05:09.400 ecstatic to be part of it. Now, the opposite of that is also true that you have to be involved in

00:05:16.200 the family unit. It's not enough for you to wake up and pat little Timmy and Tommy on the head and

00:05:23.240 then go to work for eight, nine, 10, 12 hours or longer in some cases, depending on your shift.

00:05:28.360 And then you come home and you eat dinner and maybe you ask about their day and then they go

00:05:33.660 to bed and you go to bed and you start that all over again, five to six days a week. That's not

00:05:39.720 enough either. What we must do. And this is a real struggle for me personally, because I love working.

00:05:45.720 I love my job. I love what I do. I love that. I get to talk with you guys.

00:05:48.940 So it's easy for me to gravitate towards that. But when I come home, I want to be present. Again,

00:05:55.100 I'm not always great at this, but I want to be available. I want to be present. I want to

00:06:02.420 know about their day. I want to be involved in their projects. If my youngest son, for example,

00:06:08.920 wants to do Legos, then that's what we'll do. We can talk and have fun and laugh and listen to music

00:06:14.900 together. Like we often do. If my daughter needs me to take her to dance practice, I don't have to

00:06:20.600 do that very often, but I've done that once or twice. I want to do that. If she wants to color,

00:06:25.900 go in the classroom and color, then that's what we're going to do. At dinner, we try to get together

00:06:31.180 as a family. We pray and we laugh and we ask about each other's day. Just last night, my daughter

00:06:37.100 started it off without our prompting. Hey, what was your favorite part of your day? And we go around

00:06:41.520 the table. We figured it out, but I want to be fully present. And look, I haven't always been

00:06:46.440 that way. And I'm not always to the degree that I want now, but if you are going to be separate at

00:06:51.280 times throughout the day, then do everything that you can to be involved with them. One of my fondest

00:06:56.880 memories, or I should say one category of my fondest memories is when I'm out on a hunt and my family's

00:07:03.020 here and I successfully harvest an animal. One of my favorite things is to send them a note,

00:07:08.600 a text and a picture of what I shot. And then I hear from them about how ecstatic they are,

00:07:14.380 how excited they are, how proud they are. But we don't do that for work, right? You close a deal.

00:07:19.760 You don't really share that with anybody. Why not share it with your kids? Why not bring it up with

00:07:24.020 your wife? Why not celebrate with them? Go out for dinner one night because you landed a big deal or

00:07:29.240 you increased your revenue or you paid off debt or anything that might've happened in your work life.

00:07:34.520 They want to know, they want to be part of it. So allow them to be part of your work and you become

00:07:39.660 part of their life, not just in being there, but actually being present and engaged.

00:07:46.740 Number three, this falls in line with number two as well. You have to actually explain what it is

00:07:52.600 you're doing on a daily basis. Because if you don't explain to your kids what you're doing,

00:07:57.980 they're going to come up to, or, or, or with solutions, they're going to come up with ideas

00:08:02.760 as to what you do. And it may or may not be accurate, but if you tell them, Hey, I go to work

00:08:08.280 every day and I record podcasts and I get to talk with these men. And I share that with other men who

00:08:15.480 can learn and grow and evolve because of the information that we're putting out. They want to

00:08:19.780 be part of that. They're excited about that. Often I'll have a guest, uh, just if it's a guest that

00:08:25.280 they would like, I'll ask if that guest would record a little, little hello, if you will,

00:08:30.480 a little cameo type thing, if you will, uh, so that I can show my kids, Hey, you know, Matthew

00:08:35.340 McConaughey, check it out. He was, he was thinking about you or the, or, or Terry Cruz did one for my

00:08:42.200 mom. Cause she's a big Terry Cruz fan fan. Like that's, that's integration. It's your, it's stacking

00:08:48.220 tasks. You're already there. Now make your, your family members a part of it, but expect communication

00:08:52.660 from them in return. So if you're going to open up and communicate about your day and look, even the

00:08:57.260 stuff that goes wrong, there's a lot of guys out there who will say, well, you know, you shouldn't,

00:09:02.000 you shouldn't unload your baggage on your family. It's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking

00:09:06.700 about going to your eight or nine or 10 year old and complaining about why your boss is a dick and, 0.98

00:09:11.240 and why you're the client, you know, pulled their funds from you, or you lost a big deal. Like I'm not 0.97

00:09:18.280 talking about whining and crying about it. I'm talking about explaining to your children and

00:09:23.520 your wife that sometimes things are good. And sometimes things don't go according to plan, 0.87

00:09:27.140 but what are we doing about it? Here's how we're fixing it. Share that stuff with them,

00:09:31.300 the good, the bad, and the ugly as appropriate in context. But what I was getting at is that

00:09:36.480 you also need to ensure that they're communicating. And that might mean prompting from you asking about

00:09:42.240 their day, not how was your day? Cause that's a one word answer. That's a closed ended question.

00:09:46.940 Good. Okay. Well, I personally want more than that. So a better question might be,

00:09:51.840 what was the best part of your day? What was the worst part of your day? Why?

00:09:57.800 What did you want to do that you didn't? What kind of things are you going to do tomorrow?

00:10:02.640 What was the most exciting? Who did you talk with? How did that go? Like, these are all very powerful

00:10:08.560 questions as prompts to get them speaking and communicating with you. Again, it's about integration,

00:10:13.480 no hats, no differences between work and home. It's all one in the same. We might be in different

00:10:18.800 locations, but we're integrating. We're bringing work to the office and we're bringing the office to

00:10:24.080 home. All right. Number four is creating healthy boundaries. This is one I probably struggle with

00:10:31.740 the most. And the reason is, is because bear with me, bear with me there. I needed to grab my phone

00:10:40.480 because this is a problem. This phone can be a problem. It's a great solution, but it can also

00:10:46.920 be a problem. And it's a problem for me because it's a problem for me because I have work at my

00:10:55.580 fingertips at any point throughout the day or evening. I can access emails. I can access social

00:11:01.460 media, direct messages, text, all this stuff comes through that amazingly powerful little device,

00:11:07.020 but it's completely distracting and it keeps me from being present with my family. So I establish

00:11:13.600 rules that I don't necessarily get on that all the time. And I can feel when I do, I can feel me

00:11:18.980 just disengaging mentally, emotionally from the environment at home. If I tell my kids, Hey,

00:11:26.160 on Friday, I'm going to be home at two o'clock or I'm going to be available at two o'clock.

00:11:29.440 That's what I'm going to do. Again, I'm not always great at this. These are things that I'm

00:11:33.740 striving for. All right. So what I'm sharing with you is my ideal. I'm not saying that I uphold this

00:11:39.020 ideal all the time, every time. This is my ideal because I know when I do these things, it works

00:11:44.200 out really, really well. And when I don't do these things, it tends to go sideways. So I'm recording

00:11:50.220 this podcast on Wednesday, January 4th at four 30 five o'clock. I said I would be done because when my

00:11:57.620 youngest son gets back, he said he wants to do Legos. I said, great, I'll do Legos with you

00:12:01.040 when you get back. So I plugged that in. That's an appointment to me. I honor that. I cherish that.

00:12:06.520 I want to respect that time. And so I make sure it's not six, it's not seven. It's at five because

00:12:11.400 that's what I said. Now, had I said seven or six, that's fine too. As long as I establish those

00:12:17.880 boundaries, work doesn't come home. Meaning not that you can't talk about it because that was point

00:12:23.620 number three, but that you don't bring work home and do it while you're supposed to be home. That's

00:12:29.420 what I'm saying. And personal doesn't necessarily have to always come into the office. And there's

00:12:34.340 ways that you have to disengage with the personal stuff. I realize there may be some conflict in that

00:12:38.960 a little bit, but I think you get the point. We can integrate our family into our work environment

00:12:44.700 and we can integrate our work selves into our family environment, but we don't allow the two to

00:12:50.320 come at the expense of the other. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. And those boundaries will

00:12:55.820 keep it from turning into that. So when you're home, you're home. When you say I'm done with a

00:13:01.700 project, be done with a project. If you make a commitment, stick to it. If you're not going to

00:13:06.400 stick to it, don't make the commitment. Very simple. Which actually leads into point number five,

00:13:11.500 sticking to your commitments. You have to be a man of your word. I have to be a man of my word.

00:13:16.800 I have caught myself because one of my words of the year, and I'm really trying to focus on

00:13:24.360 a word or three words per year. One of them is honesty, being honest in all things.

00:13:33.140 And that, to me, when I think of honesty, I was in the driveway the other day, there was a piece of 0.98

00:13:37.720 trash. I stepped over the piece of trash and walked to my truck and I got to my truck door

00:13:42.060 and I opened the door. And in my mind, I was like, did you just step over that piece of trash? 0.70

00:13:48.660 And I shut the door, walked around, back around the truck to the driveway where the piece of trash 0.95

00:13:52.460 was. And I picked that piece of trash up, put it into the door of the truck, and I threw it away

00:13:56.260 later. To me, that's being honest because I want a clean environment. I know I'm supposed to do that.

00:14:02.360 So why would I not? Maybe it's an integrity issue. Maybe it's an honesty issue. But I've also

00:14:08.320 noticed just little things throughout the day. My daughter, several days ago, said,

00:14:13.920 hey, dad, do you want to color? I said, I can't right now, but I'll do it later.

00:14:17.740 And I caught myself in that moment because I knew that I was lying. I knew that later I couldn't do

00:14:24.280 it because I had other things going on, but I didn't want to let her down. And so I lied to her.

00:14:28.480 I said, I can't right now, but I'll do it later. Knowing full well later would never come.

00:14:31.840 I cannot tell you how many times, hundreds, if not thousands of times throughout the day over

00:14:38.180 the past three to four months, I've realized that I am so dishonest when it comes to the

00:14:45.060 commitments I'm making. And these are, the big things that we commit to, those aren't usually

00:14:51.360 too bad. It's the little things like, hey, I'll take out the trash. Hey, I'll fix the broken pipes

00:14:57.640 in the sink. Yes, I will go color with you. Yes, I will do Lego with you. Yes, I'll bring you to

00:15:02.300 practice. Yes, I'll pick you up from lifting at this time. Or yes, I'll get you a snack at the

00:15:07.860 convenience store. Whatever that commitment is. And you have to be very vigilant on the little

00:15:13.600 commitments because they soon become the big commitments that you are failing on repeatedly

00:15:19.360 over and over and over and over and over again. And that's how we as men erode trust with those

00:15:25.240 around us. If you want to learn more about the trust and authority and credibility with others,

00:15:29.660 you can pick up a copy of the masculinity manifesto. That's my book that came out earlier

00:15:33.740 in the year or last year, I guess now. And we talk a lot about building authority, credibility,

00:15:39.140 and trust. But the best way to do that is just stick to your commitments. Even if you have to

00:15:45.580 crawl through hell to make it happen for a little while, you should do that. Because if you made the

00:15:50.980 commitment and you're feeling pain with having to do it, good. Maybe next time we'll all be a little

00:15:55.680 wiser with what we promised to do. Look, it's not an issue to say, no, I can't do that. Or no,

00:16:01.980 I won't do that right now. That's okay. People expect that. Or they'll come to learn to expect

00:16:07.360 that from you because you have healthy boundaries and you care about your time. But it's not okay

00:16:12.260 for me to lie to my kids. It's not okay for me to let down my wife. It's not okay for me not to

00:16:17.740 have a podcast because I've committed to doing that. So it's, and it has, it has less to do with

00:16:22.380 you and more to do with my own honor, my own integrity with myself as I work to restore a

00:16:28.820 lot of that. And number five, with regards to work-life integration, I think you need to build

00:16:35.420 a business. I think you need a side hobby. Not, not, not even a hobby necessarily, but I think you

00:16:41.680 need to create some revenue from a side business. Now, when I say that, I think some of you might

00:16:46.340 believe, Ryan, I'm already, you know, capped out where I am and the time and everything else.

00:16:51.240 I promise you, you can squeeze an extra half an hour, an hour, maybe even two hours into every

00:16:55.580 single day. If you become hyper-efficient and building a business is an incredible thing

00:17:00.860 because if you're an employee relationship, which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that.

00:17:06.380 Excuse me. Nothing wrong with that type of relationship. Nothing wrong with that type of

00:17:11.720 work. It's not less noble or less manly to work with somebody else. I'm not saying that.

00:17:15.400 But I want you to have control, autonomy, authority, sovereignty, if you will, over

00:17:20.360 your own schedule, over your own time, over your own income and building a business, whether it's

00:17:26.000 underwater basket weaving or teaching people how to take pictures or doing graphic design or teaching

00:17:31.100 a podcast or teaching people basic woodworking skills or helping them build shelves or making

00:17:36.880 shelves and selling them or making tables and furniture and selling that, making paint, making art,

00:17:41.240 making music, cooking, teaching cooking classes. I mean, I got a thousand ideas and so do you,

00:17:47.240 by the way. But in the very next breath, when we think to ourselves, I would like to do this,

00:17:52.620 it's like, nah, I can't do that. I have somebody in my life who quite often does that.

00:17:56.420 Man, I've got this great idea. Here's what I'm going to do. Oh man, you should totally do that.

00:18:02.340 I don't know. The market's pretty saturated. I don't know. I'm kind of, I'm a little too old to

00:18:08.080 do it. I don't have the capital. I don't know how to do it. I don't know. That's like, oh my

00:18:12.420 goodness. How long are we going to tell ourselves that? Months? Years? Decades? I remember several

00:18:21.720 years ago. This was probably four or five years ago. I had ordered some fencing materials for our

00:18:27.780 backyard and the delivery driver came over to drop these supplies off. And I was there in the middle

00:18:33.920 of the day, one, two o'clock maybe. And he says, well, what do you do for work? You work here at

00:18:38.160 home? Like, what are you off? I said, I work here at home. He says, what do you do? And I told him

00:18:41.620 what we do with the order man podcast. He's like, oh man, it's like, I've had so many ideas on things

00:18:46.200 that I wanted to do. Like 10 years ago, I had this great idea and he told me what it was. I can't

00:18:50.780 remember. And I said, why didn't you do it? And he's like, ah, man, I just didn't have the time.

00:18:57.740 And it was, you know, it was hard. I didn't know what to do. Came up with all those lists of excuses

00:19:01.840 I just shared with you. And I said, well, why don't you do it now? You didn't do it 10 years

00:19:06.700 ago. Imagine where you'd be, but why don't you do it now? He's like, ah, I don't know. I don't have

00:19:11.520 very much time and I'm tired. I'm busy. Like all the same excuses 10 years later, guys regain some of

00:19:18.900 that control and that autonomy and authority over your life by building a business. I'm not saying

00:19:23.080 it needs to be a part-time job or a full-time job. I'm saying if you could make an extra $100, $200 a

00:19:28.160 week doing something you would love, that grows to $200 to $400, which grows to $6 to $8, which grows

00:19:33.200 to $1,000 a month. Now it's $10,000 a month. Now it's $20, $30, $40, $50, $80, $100,000 a month.

00:19:40.300 You don't even know what you're capable of because you're not willing to do it.

00:19:43.340 But what would that look like? What would your life look like if you had an extra 20 or 30 grand

00:19:48.980 in your bank account each year? What would your life look like if you were able to start a business

00:19:54.860 and completely replace what it is you're currently doing? What would your life look like? How much

00:20:01.440 time would you have available? What would your income be like? What would you be doing with that

00:20:05.040 time? How would you be spending it? Who would you be spending it with? If you have the desire and

00:20:11.100 inkling even to start a business, then you definitely should start a business.

00:20:15.580 Well, Ryan, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to start. Here's a couple of things.

00:20:19.420 What do you do when time's moving the fastest? Well, it's when I'm out in the shop and I'm

00:20:24.360 building benches and tables and furniture and cabinets. Hey, there's an alternative. There's a

00:20:30.280 route. Here's another prompt. What do people ask your advice on? Maybe it's marketing. Maybe it's

00:20:37.840 photography. Maybe it's life coaching. Maybe it's fitness. Maybe it's shooting guns. I don't know.

00:20:42.740 Whatever. If they're asking you about it, they see that you have some sort of aptitude and capability

00:20:47.180 to be able to be well and efficient in that thing. That's an opportunity. Here's one more.

00:20:54.960 What would you be doing if money were of no concern? What would you be doing if money were

00:21:00.380 no... Everybody pays your bills or your bills are all paid off. Somebody else is giving you groceries.

00:21:03.960 Like everything's taken care of. What would you be doing? People will come up with some wild ideas

00:21:10.380 and I'm not dismissing them. They're wild and they're great. And then again, in the very next

00:21:13.980 breath, they're like, yeah, but you know, that's going to take a long time. I can't make any money

00:21:17.380 doing that. Wrong answer. You can if you put forth the effort and the work. Guys, I want our lives to be

00:21:24.660 integrated. And again, to go back with where we started, I want them to be integrated because

00:21:29.080 this is life. Like this is all we have. One shot, guys. One single shot to make the most out of this

00:21:42.580 life. And if you haven't up to this point, because you're wearing dad hat, you're wearing boss hat,

00:21:47.700 you're wearing employee hat, you're wearing client hat, you're wearing husband hat, you're wearing

00:21:50.700 this hat and that hat and everything else. And you're just bouncing from place to place like the

00:21:54.720 winds and like a ping pong or a pinball machine. I don't think that's the life that you want to

00:22:01.380 live. At least it isn't the life I want to live. Now, when I started Order of Man almost eight years

00:22:07.220 ago, I came to this realization and I started this podcast on the side while I was doing my

00:22:11.040 financial planning practice. It's since turned into this global movement, which is phenomenal,

00:22:15.480 but I never had that idea. But guys, I want us to be the same across the board, more efficient,

00:22:20.780 we'll get more work done, we'll live more fulfilled lives, we'll be able to serve others,

00:22:25.280 we'll actually be in the lives of the people that we care about most, namely our spouses and our

00:22:28.880 children. And enough with the balance thing. If you look at a balance, look at a scale, like an

00:22:35.040 old time scale, right? And it's got a bar across, pardon me, I don't know the official term, but it's

00:22:41.100 got a bar across the top and then it's got a little basket on each one of those and it swivels in the

00:22:45.460 center. And you put work and stuff over here and you put this over here and it's like, you're going

00:22:53.280 to do activity after activity just to keep that thing balanced, right? Oh, work's getting a little

00:22:58.660 heavy, little heavy, little heavy, little heavy. I'm not doing as much at home. I got to do some

00:23:02.200 home, home, home, home, home. And it's like back and forth. If you're not seeing what I'm doing with

00:23:05.960 my hands, you can go check out the YouTube channel, Order Man on YouTube. Anyway, so it's going back and

00:23:11.540 forth and back and forth. And you know, the problem with that is, is usually you don't realize that you

00:23:17.480 need to make a correction until it's getting bad. It's kind of like driving on ice. You're driving

00:23:23.000 down the road and you hit a patch of ice and you start to swerve to the right. And what do you do?

00:23:27.880 You overcorrect. And because you overcorrect and spin the wheel to the left as hard as you can,

00:23:33.040 you end up in the ditch or swinging back to the right, or you roll your car and you create

00:23:38.540 collateral damage. That's what balance creates. But integration, there's no separate scales. It's

00:23:47.640 like work and personal life and family life and personal. It's all weaved together. It's all

00:23:53.200 important. And I go all in with all of those things. I hope that makes sense to you. If you

00:24:00.300 have additional questions, thoughts, considerations, ideas, pointers, tips, this work-life balance thing

00:24:07.300 is something that gets brought up all the time. And so at a minimum, I'd hope that you would

00:24:12.100 adopt the mantra of not work-life balance, but work-life integration, much more efficient,

00:24:20.440 much more effective, much more profitable, and ultimately much more fulfilling.

00:24:25.500 All right, guys, that's all I've got for you. If you want to support what we're doing, please do.

00:24:29.780 The support means a lot. This is a grassroots movement. I don't have any advertising dollars going

00:24:34.440 into Facebook ads and all this kind of stuff. We are doing this from the ground up. And so the way

00:24:41.160 that you can support is by leaving a rating and review, wherever you're listening to podcasts,

00:24:46.140 just take two minutes, five stars. Hey, I liked this episode because of dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

00:24:50.960 Simple, easy, and effective. You can also check out the store, store.orderman.com. And you can check

00:24:57.580 out on the store. I'd tell you to check out the battle planner. That's really good for this time of year.

00:25:01.080 And the other way you can support is to pick up a copy of the masculinity manifesto by yours truly

00:25:08.600 talked about that a little bit as it comes to building trust and influencing credibility.

00:25:13.400 All right, guys, that's all I've got for you. You've got your marching orders.

00:25:16.380 Let's integrate our lives and let's go out there and become the men we are meant to be.

00:25:20.660 Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast. You're ready to take charge of your life and be

00:25:25.860 more of the man you were meant to be. We invite you to join the order at orderofman.com.
