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.
00:00:10.420 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who
00:00:17.220 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:00:22.780 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler,
00:00:28.000 and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man movement. Welcome here.
00:00:33.740 I think this is officially, as of the release date, the very first episode of the Order of Man podcast
00:00:39.420 for 2021. Glad you're tuning in. Glad you're here. We've had some incredible success over the past
00:00:46.000 almost six years. In fact, in March of this year, 2021, it will mark our six-year anniversary.
00:00:53.340 And I just want to let you know, we could not do this without you. I appreciate you guys tuning in.
00:00:56.980 But more importantly than just tuning in and listening to what we're doing is that you're
00:01:01.200 actually applying the information, that you're leading your families well. You're serving your
00:01:04.940 communities. You're being the type of man that you have a desire to be and the type of man that this
00:01:09.120 world needs. And it's evident that this world needs more motivated, strong, capable, bold, assertive,
00:01:15.200 courageous men. And that's what I'm going to talk with you about today, because I want to talk with
00:01:18.860 you about my simple yet effective 10 point strategy for dominating 2021. That's what this
00:01:26.820 podcast is going to be dedicated to, because if you're listening to this, to the day that it's
00:01:30.700 released, it is the 1st of January, 2021. 2020 was a crazy year for us. It was a very good year.
00:01:38.280 I hope for you guys, it was a very good year as well. You know, I'm really tired of looking around
00:01:42.900 in the news and all the social media outlets and everybody's saying how crappy and how shitty 2020
00:01:47.360 was. And while I can certainly understand and even appreciate to a degree, how difficult it may
00:01:53.200 have been for some people you know, I think we make a lot of our own success or failures for that
00:01:59.040 matter. So although there may have been some wild and unforeseen outside circumstances that we've been
00:02:05.980 presented with in the year, I think we have a very powerful opportunity to make our own success and
00:02:12.980 our own rules and our own luck. So we're going to talk with you about the 10 point plan. Before I do,
00:02:18.080 I want to make a very quick mention of my friends over at origin. I've been talking about these guys
00:02:22.860 for years now, but the thing that you may not know is that I am collaborating with them on a project for
00:02:28.440 you guessed it, some beard oil. This is a hundred percent sourced and made in America beard oil.
00:02:35.240 I've worked with them for months at this point to formulate something very special, something
00:02:40.340 unique. And you know, you want a good looking beard. You want it to look as good and glorious
00:02:44.720 as mine is. I get it. I'm going to help you on that path. So if you are interested, it is not yet
00:02:49.760 released. We're looking at two to three weeks before it is, but what I need you to do is to jump on
00:02:55.480 the early notification list. You can do that at originbeardoil.com, originbeardoil.com.
00:03:02.520 We've got a very limited and short run. So if you want to get some origin, 100% sourced and made
00:03:09.120 in America beard oil, and you want a beard as glorious as this, you've got to go to originbeardoil.com,
00:03:16.640 originbeardoil.com. Check it out. All right, guys, enough of that. Let's get into the real
00:03:20.840 conversation today. I made an Instagram post. If you're looking on YouTube, watching this video on
00:03:26.180 YouTube, you can see there's my Instagram post about 10 things, general things that I'm going
00:03:31.920 to do this year that are going to drastically improve my life and my results in every facet of
00:03:37.540 life that I'm dealing with. But I wanted to give some meat, like this is the bones right here.
00:03:42.200 I've got 10 very simple things that I'm going to be doing this year. This is the bones, but I want
00:03:46.160 to put some meat on the bones for you guys. So I'm going to give some context and ideas and insight
00:03:50.560 into these 10 things. So let's get started. Number one, guys, tell the truth. All right. My goal
00:03:55.560 in 2021 is to tell the truth in all ways that, that not only is that telling the absolute truth,
00:04:02.100 but that's also sharing my perspective, my viewpoint, my belief. Now I'm not delusional
00:04:08.520 enough to believe that my opinion is absolute truth with a capital T, but I am going to share
00:04:15.480 my perspective. I am going to share more of what's important to me. I am going to share more of what I
00:04:21.160 think and what I believe. I think there's a growing wave of cancel culture. Don't say this.
00:04:27.520 Don't say this. Only talk about the things that you're supposed to. We don't want to make people
00:04:30.820 feel uncomfortable. And I'm telling you what, if you can learn not only to share the truth, but to
00:04:35.040 also share your perspective, you're going to find people who believe what you believe, who are
00:04:41.540 like-minded, who want to grow like you want to grow. And it's going to be tempting to acquiesce to
00:04:47.340 the people who would say, let's just talk about things that are easy and safe and comfortable.
00:04:52.260 I'm not interested in that. I want to talk about the things that are not easy to talk about. I want
00:04:56.640 to talk about the things that are not comfortable to talk about. So what you can expect from me in
00:05:00.820 2021 is conversations with some powerful guests. Like we've always had on, these guys are going to
00:05:06.240 be controversial. Them and myself are not always going to agree on everything, but these are the kind
00:05:11.280 of conversations that I want to have. And as society continues to move towards only safe,
00:05:17.040 comfortable, non-threatening conversations, I'm moving the other way. I'm going to talk about
00:05:23.340 more controversial subjects. And that's going to rub a lot of you the wrong way. And a lot of you
00:05:28.160 are going to leave. And a lot of you are going to announce your departure as if I care, but you know
00:05:33.140 what? I don't care. What I care about is getting to the root of the matter, getting to the heart of
00:05:38.240 the matter, having conversations that we actually need to have, not to save comfortable ones, but to say
00:05:44.400 the things and talk about the things that other people aren't always comfortable with. If you're
00:05:48.820 on board with that, tune in. If you want to have civil and mature discussions about it, let's do it.
00:05:53.240 If you want to be an asshole or you want to get triggered, or you want to freak out, or you want
00:05:58.000 to save space, this ain't it go somewhere else. Number two, be a man of your word guys. It's super easy.
00:06:06.000 Be a man of your word. Now, look, I'm not going to tell you I'm perfect in this. There's areas in
00:06:11.040 which I fall short all the time. I wish I could say it was a hundred percent on this. I'm not,
00:06:14.220 but one of my goals in 2021 is to follow through and be more dedicated to the actions that match
00:06:23.480 my words and thoughts. This is integrity. This is actually the definition of integrity
00:06:28.240 is to ensure that your actions align with your thoughts and your, your words. So when I make a
00:06:36.060 commitment to you or anybody else, I'm going to be there. I'm going to show up. If I'm not interested
00:06:42.060 in showing up or not interested in doing that thing, or not interested in being there, I'm not
00:06:45.400 going to open my mouth and stick my foot in my mouth and tell me that, or tell others, excuse me,
00:06:49.800 that I'm going to do it. Whatever comes out of my mouth is going to manifest itself in reality.
00:06:57.820 And the only reason I need to do that is because I said I would, it's not always going to be easy
00:07:01.980 or comfortable or safe or secure or things that frankly, I even like, but I'm going to be more
00:07:06.960 selective about what I opened my big mouth about and actually only say yes and commit to the things
00:07:13.260 that I'm willing to do that I can actually do. And I can't think of one greater strategy to help you
00:07:19.060 gain more authority and influence and credibility with the people that you would lead your wife,
00:07:25.920 your children, your teammates, your colleagues, your coworkers, your friends. Those are the people
00:07:30.040 you want to lead effectively. And if you want them to follow you voluntarily, and that's what
00:07:35.020 leadership is. Otherwise it's just dictatorship. But if you want them to follow you voluntarily,
00:07:40.500 then you have to have integrity. You have to be a man of your word. When you say something,
00:07:46.600 your word is your bond. It's as good as done. If you say it, that's what I'm going to be working on.
00:07:52.800 That's what I'm going to be focusing on. So if I make a commitment, I'm all in. And if I'm not all in,
00:07:56.960 I'm going to very, very diligently strive not to make those commitments because if I open my mouth
00:08:02.940 and I put my foot in my mouth, I better follow through on it. Number three, help as many people
00:08:07.160 as you can. That's easy. It's so easy guys. Like people just want help. They want assistance. They
00:08:15.380 want guidance and direction, and we can provide that for them. And it doesn't take a lot of time.
00:08:22.260 It doesn't take a lot of energy. It doesn't take a lot of focus, but if you can share an insight or
00:08:26.380 a strategy with people, you know, just help. What if all of us just decided that this is going to be
00:08:33.880 the year that we're going to help people? You know, I, I, uh, I put out a call to action for some of the
00:08:41.360 guys on podcast guests, and I had a gentleman, uh, reach out and, uh, make a personal connection of
00:08:47.320 his. That's going to be a very powerful podcast. That's coming up soon. A very simple gesture,
00:08:53.620 a very easy call for this individual to make. And yet he put himself out there even to a small degree.
00:09:01.900 And he took a little more time than he had to. And he helped, he helped me.
00:09:06.780 It doesn't take a lot of time guys. It doesn't take a lot of effort. If people need your help,
00:09:11.720 help them serve them. And the more you do that, the more that they're going to be emboldened to live
00:09:16.040 the lives that they want to live. And the more that you are going to be able to serve those
00:09:19.920 individuals. And doesn't that feel good? Doesn't that feel right? Isn't that what we as men should
00:09:24.120 be doing serving other individuals? So guys get out there, help as many people as you can,
00:09:31.140 whatever capacity, if you see a guy on the road and he needs some change for something,
00:09:34.700 give him some change. That $5 means nothing to you, but it would mean everything potentially to him.
00:09:41.640 If somebody asks for something and you can make that connection or you can, you can, you can serve
00:09:47.980 that person's needs, do it. What are you out? You're not out nothing. And as the, the great Zig Ziglar
00:09:57.280 said, if you help enough people get what it is they want, you will inevitably get what it is you want.
00:10:02.980 So if you want to thrive and win and succeed in your family and your business and every other facet of
00:10:07.760 your life, just help people and have faith that the results will produce themselves.
00:10:13.320 Number four, get strong. My son and I have been very, very focused on working out in the gym
00:10:19.000 over the past, I would say two months. We've been very dedicated and focused to working out in the
00:10:24.040 gym together. I want to make myself strong. I mean, I feel like, I feel like I'm fairly strong at this
00:10:30.220 point, but I can always get stronger. I can always get better. I can always improve. And so getting strong
00:10:34.900 pays huge, huge dividend dividends to not only my physical health, but my mental and emotional
00:10:41.020 wellbeing. And so my focus when it comes to physical strength or physical goals this year is
00:10:46.820 to get as strong as I possibly can so that I can face the realities of everything that I have to deal
00:10:52.460 with. And by the way, this is not just physical. I mean, physical is a huge component of that,
00:10:57.340 but I want to get strong mentally. I want to get strong emotionally. I want to get strong
00:11:02.580 physically because my goal as a man is to make myself more capable in all ways of dealing with
00:11:08.100 whatever life has to throw at me, whether it's the response to COVID or a bankruptcy or a looming
00:11:16.260 divorce or a loss of your job or a health condition or whatever it may be. I have no idea what 2021 is
00:11:25.340 going to throw at me, but I want to be prepared for that. And the simple truth is that strong men
00:11:30.740 are better men. Can you be a good man and not be strong? Sure. I know, I know good men who I would
00:11:39.160 consider weak, but can you be good at being a man? The distinction that David Gilmore makes in his book,
00:11:46.140 manhood in the making and Jack Donovan has actually talked about it at length as well. Can you be good
00:11:52.160 at being a man if you're not strong? The answer is no, you cannot be as effective of a man if you
00:12:02.640 weren't strong. So put yourself under tension, physical tension, put a bar on your back and do
00:12:10.440 some squats, pick up some things off the floor and do some deadlifts, do some bench presses, go on a run,
00:12:16.360 whatever it is you need to do to make yourself physically strong, put yourself in demanding situations,
00:12:22.080 put yourself out there in front of the public, do public speaking so many different things that
00:12:26.940 you can do that. I know scare you. And I know they scare you because they scare me,
00:12:30.840 but fear isn't necessarily the reason that you shouldn't do something.
00:12:37.140 Fear might actually be a great indicator that you should actually do that thing.
00:12:40.900 So get out there, make yourself strong in all ways. Your life will be better when you do a number.
00:12:46.760 I think I'm on five read good books guys. I've got a bunch of books back here and I've done,
00:12:52.080 post on YouTube. I've done podcasts about great books. If you want some good books,
00:12:58.120 let me give you a couple extreme ownership by Jocko Willink is a great book manhood in the making
00:13:03.040 a little bit more intense to read. But that's a good book as a man thinketh by James Allen.
00:13:09.420 That book's probably a hundred plus years old. That's a great book. Sovereignty,
00:13:13.200 the battle for the hearts and minds of men, which is admittedly my book. I'm a bit biased,
00:13:17.080 but I think that will serve you. I wouldn't have written it if that weren't the case,
00:13:19.980 by the way, we've got a new book coming out in late 2021, maybe 2022. I'll get you some more
00:13:26.440 details on that. Jack Carr's series with James Reese is a great series to read endurance,
00:13:34.160 which I think is up there about Ernest Shackleton's trek across the Antarctic is a great read. I would
00:13:43.840 definitely recommend that you read that. There's so many great books. I don't need to list them all
00:13:48.240 for you guys. You can go out there, you can find the good books, but what I would challenge you to
00:13:52.180 do and what I'm going to be doing is reading for me, it's going to be reading a book every two weeks,
00:13:58.000 if not more, that way I'll get through 24 books. I read a lot of books to prepare for my podcast
00:14:05.100 conversations, but guys like you need to read. It's been said, and I can't remember who said this,
00:14:11.420 but the man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. So get your ass
00:14:18.600 off the couch, get away from the TV, get away from the PlayStation five and read, read good books.
00:14:26.400 We have access to the most incredible minds the planet has ever known. And all you have to do is
00:14:31.400 crack out a book sometimes for free. Other times for 99 cents on audible. And other times you might want
00:14:37.060 to spend 20 bucks or go to the library and pick it up for free. The tools are there. You just need
00:14:42.580 to access them, read good books. Number six, apply what you learn. You know, knowledge alone is not,
00:14:48.860 is not power. Application is. So if you read all these books, like I'll, I'll see a bunch of,
00:14:56.840 a bunch of posts this time of year on, on the socials from guys who have read, you know, like 300
00:15:01.100 books this year. I'm like, okay, 300 books. Like, how do you even process all of that?
00:15:07.760 Like how did that actually improve and enhance your life? So what you read 300 books or a hundred
00:15:13.320 books or 50 books or even one book, but if you didn't apply any of it, why did you waste all that
00:15:18.440 time reading that book? So figure out strategies and methods for actually applying what you learn.
00:15:23.300 I'll talk more about that because I think that's should be reserved for a different conversation,
00:15:27.740 but I've got some very clear ideas on how you can take the information that you read and actually
00:15:33.360 apply it to your life because that's the most important thing. It's the difference,
00:15:37.060 between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the information that you've received.
00:15:41.680 Wisdom is the practical application of said knowledge.
00:15:46.000 So if you have the information, but you're not applying it, has it served you?
00:15:50.580 Or are you somebody who's wise, who has taken that information, applied it effectively in
00:15:56.320 your life and enhanced your life and the lives of the people that you care about? We'll talk
00:16:00.940 more about that. Stay tuned, but make sure you're applying the information that you learn.
00:16:05.300 Number seven, do what's right. Even what's different, even if it's difficult and I can't tell you
00:16:12.860 what's right, but you know, you know, what's right. I know what's right. You know, if we mess up on a
00:16:19.120 store order, which I talked about, I think earlier in the week, we make it right to the best of our
00:16:23.960 abilities. If I wrong somebody, I make it right. If I'm faced with a difficult decision or choice,
00:16:30.280 I choose the correct one. How do you know? Oh, Ryan, I don't know what's correct. I don't know
00:16:34.480 what to do. You know what to do. It doesn't make it easy. It doesn't make it hard. And just because
00:16:40.460 we choose the correct path doesn't mean that it will be the easy path. In fact, in many cases,
00:16:46.060 the correct path will be the harder, more difficult path, but that's not the reason you shouldn't take
00:16:53.820 that path. Do the right things. Wake up early, go work out, eat the right foods, encourage people
00:17:04.120 where they need to be encouraged, help people where you can work hard, fight through the difficulties
00:17:10.680 of life and your day-to-day activities. Be a man of your word, have honor, have integrity. These are
00:17:17.920 things I don't need to tell you guys, you know, this, we all know this. And yet when we got
00:17:23.800 when we get caught up in a moment, it's easy for us to get distracted. It's easy for us to be
00:17:29.620 tempted to do something we shouldn't, but don't don't. These are decisions. And if you're at a
00:17:35.280 crossroads and you're having a hard time and you're trying to figure out what you should do,
00:17:38.560 what I would suggest to you is just disengage for a minute, just disengage. And if you can disengage
00:17:45.480 physically, mentally, emotionally from that set of circumstances, you find yourself in and clear
00:17:52.020 your head and focus and come back to this instruction that I'm giving you today about doing the right
00:17:56.760 thing. Then I think you'll re-engage with a new mindset, fortified, strengthened. You'll have resolve
00:18:04.360 to resist, to go the maybe more difficult path and to do the right thing. Simple, not easy, simple.
00:18:13.380 Number eight, add value, add value. There's an old boy scout mantra. And I know I've knocked on boy
00:18:21.040 scouts over the past couple of years, and I will continue to knock on boy scouts as they continue
00:18:25.040 to go astray. Now, if they get their stuff in order and, and, and work to actually serve the boys
00:18:31.300 that they've always had a mission to serve, then I won't, I won't knock them too much, but I'm going
00:18:35.760 to continue to knock the boy scouts. But that said, there's some valuable things that, that they've
00:18:41.860 taught me as I've been in cub scouts and then boy scouts. And as I've served in boy scouts for the
00:18:48.100 young men in our area, there, there, there's a thing called leave no trace, leave no trace.
00:18:54.220 It's like a little motto. So if you're out in the wilderness and you're doing your thing,
00:18:57.560 you shouldn't be leaving trash around and you shouldn't destroy the places in which you sleep
00:19:01.560 and engage, like leave no trace. But I think if we were to take that just a bit further,
00:19:06.600 it would be not only leave no trace, but leave a place better than you found it.
00:19:12.440 Leave a place better than you found it. So guys add value to people's lives in every interaction,
00:19:18.100 in every encounter, in every conversation, in everything that you do. What I'll give you a very
00:19:24.640 small example. When I go walk around my property, we have roughly 50 acres and there's a, a loop that I
00:19:34.020 take. That's exactly one mile. I leave my house. I walk out, I do this loop. I get back. That's
00:19:38.560 exactly one mile. And so when I go out there, I always bring a trash bag. I always bring a trash
00:19:45.200 bag with me. Inevitably I'll find five, seven, 10, 12, 15 pieces of trash. It could be a gum wrapper
00:19:52.100 or a can that somebody threw off the side of the road, whatever. Inevitably I'll find that trash and
00:19:59.300 I'll pick it up, throw it in the trash bag, throw it away because I want to add value. I want to leave
00:20:05.540 the places that I leave better than when I found them. So when I get off this podcast with you,
00:20:10.940 it's my goal and my ambition that you'll walk away empowered, inspired, motivated, and with some clear
00:20:18.160 instructions about what you can do to improve your life. Because I'm here, I might as well make this
00:20:23.700 situation better. If I'm on a phone call, if I'm at a work meeting, if I'm having a conversation,
00:20:29.640 if I'm at the gym, I'm going to leave that place better than where I found it. And that is the root
00:20:36.860 of adding value. I'm going to be a valuable person to go back to what we were talking about, about
00:20:42.860 reading books, read linchpin. I believe it's been a while since I've read it, but I believe it's by
00:20:47.980 Seth Godin, read linchpin. If I remember correctly, the subtitle is making yourself indispensable.
00:20:55.000 You can also read Cal Newport. He's been on the podcast several times. His, one of his books called
00:21:00.760 so good, they can't ignore you. Both are about adding immense value to your interactions in your
00:21:06.500 environments. And can you imagine what your life would look like if your sole objective in everything
00:21:12.280 that you did from the way that you showed up with your wife to playing catch with your son, to your
00:21:18.220 daughter's dance recital, to a podcast or starting a business or your interactions with prospects and
00:21:24.460 clients. If your sole objective was to add value, could you imagine over 365 days, what your life would
00:21:31.520 look like? It would be almost unrecognizable. Don't shirk your opportunity to be valuable. Don't shirk
00:21:41.200 your opportunity to provide solutions, which is my next point. Point number nine. Okay. Look for
00:21:48.600 problems, provide solutions. That's what you should be doing. That's the key to wealth. That's the key
00:21:55.900 to fulfillment. That's the key to success. That's the key to autonomy and sovereignty is to look for
00:22:01.660 problems and provide solutions. That's what I've done here with order of man. There's millions and
00:22:07.040 millions of men out there wandering around aimlessly wondering how they're going to make their life,
00:22:12.860 what they want it to be and how to salvage their marriages and how to lose weight and how to grow a
00:22:18.200 business and how to build their bank accounts and how to feel satisfied. And like they have purpose and
00:22:23.800 meaning and significance in their lives. And I recognize that as a problem. Now I recognized it as
00:22:28.600 a problem because that was what I was experiencing, but it was a problem nonetheless.
00:22:32.940 And I thought, although I don't have all the answers, I certainly have an opportunity to
00:22:38.820 connect with this guy and that guy, Steven Rinella, Eddie Gallagher, Andy Frisilla, Grant Cardone,
00:22:45.200 Sean Whalen, the lineup of men that have joined us and banded with us, Jocko, David Goggins,
00:22:52.440 and the guys that we're going to continue to have on the podcast is phenomenal.
00:22:56.020 And although I don't have, like I said earlier, all the solutions to your problems,
00:23:01.160 these guys do. And so what if I just created this platform, this outlet where you could go as a man
00:23:08.480 who might be struggling in one or more areas of your life and allow you to plug into the solution
00:23:13.920 that I'm not necessarily providing, but I'm bringing these guys in from different facets and different
00:23:19.840 expertise and different knowledge and pulling this all together in a place that you as a man can go in
00:23:25.900 turn where you can find problems, or excuse me, answers to your problems, solutions to what ails you.
00:23:34.760 What an amazing thing. I recognize the problem. I provide the solution. That's how you add value.
00:23:42.700 That's how you win. That's how you succeed. And it doesn't always mean that somebody is going to pay
00:23:47.680 you for that answer, but I'm telling you what, if your wife comes to you with a problem and you're
00:23:51.880 able to help her see the own, her own path forward, aren't she going to be valuable? Like, isn't she
00:23:57.460 going to want you in her life? She wants companionship. She wants leadership. She wants
00:24:04.460 guidance and direction and stability and discipline. She wants those things from a man. And if you can be
00:24:10.180 that man, you're going to be attractive. You're going to be enticing, intriguing at a minimum.
00:24:15.960 And she's going to be want to be with you. If your kids are struggling and they know they can turn
00:24:21.460 to you for the solutions or the answers to their problems, they're going to turn to you more often.
00:24:27.480 If you shut them down and you don't provide the answer that you're looking for, they're going to
00:24:31.760 look somewhere else. Same thing with your clients, same thing with your coworkers and your colleagues
00:24:37.220 and every other person that you deal with in your life. And the last one guys here, I wouldn't say
00:24:42.840 this is the most important thing, but it's critically important, especially in this day and age where we
00:24:46.640 have a bunch of people who want you to be quiet, who wants you to shut up, who wants you to toe the
00:24:52.300 line and do what you're told and obey like a good little boy does. Here's what I would suggest to you
00:24:56.600 is make a stand, take a stand for something, stand up for something, anything, anything significant
00:25:04.280 and meaningful in your life. Like be bold, be courageous, say what's on your mind, share the truth,
00:25:10.680 share your perception, share your own reality and be unashamedly proud of having an opinion
00:25:19.140 and being willing to share it, having the balls and the courage and the audacity to share what's
00:25:24.940 on your mind and to tell people when they're wrong and, and to bandwidth and, and, and coordinate with
00:25:30.680 those who you believe are right. You know, I've been standing up for men and masculinity and the power
00:25:36.580 of having noble, honorable, capable, strong, bold, courageous men for six years. Now I I've got a lot
00:25:42.800 of people who don't like me because I'm talking about it, but you know what? I don't care because
00:25:47.400 for every one person who does not like what I talk about, there's a hundred or a thousand or a million
00:25:52.620 men out there who appreciate the fact that I can share what's on my mind unashamedly
00:25:57.720 that I won't be silenced, that I won't be quieted, that I won't toe the line like everybody else would
00:26:04.180 have me do, but that I'm my own man talking about my own things and that it resonates with you.
00:26:11.980 I'm not afraid to share what's on my mind. I'm not afraid to share the reality of my own situation.
00:26:17.240 And if it serves you well, great. And if it doesn't, I don't care. I really don't. I hope that
00:26:23.360 it does. I want you to win. But if you don't feel like this is the path to helping you win,
00:26:26.780 then go find somewhere that does. But that doesn't mean I'm going to shut up. And it doesn't
00:26:30.600 mean that I'm going to talk about the things that you want me to talk about. I'm going to talk about
00:26:34.340 the things that are important to you and me and us as men. And if somebody doesn't like that drive
00:26:38.740 on, but this is my stand. I've planted my flag here. This is actually the hill that I'm willing
00:26:43.320 to die on. I'm not willing to die on every hill because not everything is important to me the way
00:26:48.440 that it might be important to you, but it's up to you to find your own battles for you to find
00:26:52.160 what's meaningful and significant and purpose-driven for you, but start opening your mouth.
00:26:57.440 The days of us being quiet and just going about our duties and our tasks as good little boys do
00:27:02.660 have come and gone. It's now time for you to stand up for you to be bold and courageous and assertive
00:27:09.160 and assert yourself and assert your will and take some of that raw masculine energy that's coursing
00:27:14.400 through your veins and channel it and harness it and drive it towards something that's valuable
00:27:19.100 to you and society. If you don't know what that is or aren't willing to do it, then band with me,
00:27:24.840 share this message, share this purpose, come to our events, buy our products, buy our services
00:27:30.880 and engage in those things. If you're not willing to do it, I'll do it, but I want you to be willing
00:27:38.080 to do it. Because what I'm trying to do, as I said, I think last week is enlist an army of motivated
00:27:44.800 and ambitious men and mobilize them towards leading their families and their communities well.
00:27:49.060 So if you know what that is, go do it. If you don't know what that is, band with us here.
00:27:54.720 We've got plenty of things that you can do for now. Just go ahead and share and let people know
00:27:58.940 what we're doing, reclaiming and restoring masculinity, putting it back where it belongs
00:28:03.000 and stepping into the calling of man. All right, guys, let me recap these things. And then I'm going
00:28:07.500 to, I'm going to call it quits. You go, it's, it's, it's January 1st, go out there and get to work.
00:28:11.660 365 days. Let's do it. Here we go. Number one, tell the truth. Number two, be a man of your word.
00:28:17.680 Number three, help people as you can. Number four, get strong physically, mentally, emotionally,
00:28:23.880 spiritually. Number five, read good books. Plenty of them out there. Number six, do, excuse me,
00:28:29.360 apply what you learn in those books. That's, that's wisdom as opposed to information or knowledge.
00:28:34.160 Number seven, do what's right. Even what's difficult. Oh, Ryan, what does that mean? You know what it
00:28:38.860 means? Do what's right. Number eight, add value. Number nine, look for problems, provide solutions.
00:28:44.280 And number 10, take a stand for something. If you don't know what it is, you stand here with me.
00:28:49.460 I got plenty of room at the table for you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me and the millions of
00:28:53.400 men who have banded with this mission, order a man to reclaim and restore masculinity. There's always
00:28:58.560 room for you as a man at the table. We're going to enlist millions and millions of men,
00:29:03.520 and we're going to mobilize you to serve and lead your families. Well, that's my stand. I'd love you to
00:29:07.620 stand with me. If it's something else, get after it. I'll support you. I'll edify you. I'll,
00:29:13.140 I'll uplift you. I'll give you tools and insights to help you do it. Because when millions of men are
00:29:17.780 out there taking a stand for what they believe, we're all going to be in a better spot. All right,
00:29:21.980 guys, January 1, 2021 day one of 365 days. Let's get after it. Let's take care of it. Go out there,
00:29:31.360 take action and become the man you are meant to be.
00:29:34.240 Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast. If you're ready to take charge of your
00:29:38.560 life and be more of the man you were meant to be, we invite you to join the order at orderofman.com.
