Order of Man

Today, we talk about something we've never directly addressed on this podcast, God. Now, before you tune me out based on that word alone, I believe that regardless of what you believe, there is something to be learned in every conversation and every experience. That's why, when my friend, Dale Partridge reached out to talk about his new book, Saved From Success, I knew I needed to have him on. At...

Today, I answer questions from Facebook about building a tribe, creating a network of connections, developing discipline and confidence, how to help sons with their anger, and improve the drive for bigger and better. www.orderofman.com/FFN103 Please leave us a rating and review!

Adding value is a phrase we'll all heard. Like any word the marketers of the world get ahold of, it begins to lose some of it's meaning when it's overused. But that overuse doesn't make it any less valuable as a strategy for growth and success. My guest today, Tyler Harris, is using the idea of adding value to create a hugely successful social media business on top of his already existing success...

I spend a lot of time talking to men on a daily basis. One thing I'm always intrigued by is the fire that I can see (or can't see) simply by looking into their eyes. It's been said that "the eyes are the window to the soul." If that's true, you can tell a lot about a man and his passion and enthusiasm through a quick glance and connection of the eyes. Unfortunately, all too often what I see when I...

Today, I talk with Reece Carter about the power of a mental fight club, why you need to stop lying to yourself, and how to harness healthy competition. Please leave us a rating and review:  www.orderofman.com/itunes Visit us at www.orderofman.com

Suffering isn't typically something people like to attract in their lives but the reality is you cannot fully escape it. It's part of the human experience. So, rather than run from the unexpected suffering we're all likely to face, my guest, Navy SEAL Commander Rorke Denver suggests we run towards it and embrace it instead. Today, we talk about the power of identifying and living by a set of ethos...

There seems to be this strange shift in society today where we, collectively, have begun to give more credit to children than they deserve. Historically, adults have made the decisions and been the influential party in the direction of relevant culture and policy. Now, in some sort of weird, reality version of Lord of the Flies, we've begun to allow our children to dictate the tone of the conversa...

Today, I talk with Justin Bailey about creating a legacy our children will be proud of, the power of accountability, and why we should all be more intentional about our lives. Please leave us a rating and review:  www.orderofman.com/itunes Visit us at www.orderofman.com

Most of us tend to focus on that one big, audacious goal we all have. The problem with that is it may be so far out there or so unrealistic that subconsciously we believe we can't ever achieve it. My guest and friend, Tommy Baker, makes the case for focusing more on the process than the result. In fact, in his new book, he teaches how to fall in love with the process and achieve our wildest dreams...

Take a look around and I think you'll agree with me that there seems to be more and more men who are shirking their responsibilities as men. It's easy to understand why. It's always harder (at least initially) to accept responsibility. If you do, it means you'll actually have to exert yourself. You'll have to go into the office a little earlier. You'll have to stay a little later. You'll miss the...

Today, I talk with Bart Folse about losing over 100lbs and paying off over $100,000. Please leave us a rating and review:  www.orderofman.com/itunes Visit us at www.orderofman.com

I went on my first hunt just last year and I can tell you that it was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I have another trip planned in a couple weeks and I already know it's going to push me and expand me in new ways as a man. Although I wouldn't call myself a hunter just yet, I am learning and inspired by men like my friend and guest today, Adam Greentree. He's been hunting in...

Today, I thought I'd pull back the curtain and share with you a little bit about the process of writing a book. I've received a lot of messages since we published, Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men about what it took to write the book, the challenges, the victories, the things I did well, and the things I didn't do so well in making this book available to you. Let's face it,...

Today on In the Trenches, I interview Chis Gachko about his challenges and victories in improving his marriage, starting a family, and launching a new business. Please leave us a rating and review:  www.orderofman.com/itunes Visit us at www.orderofman.com

One year ago, I had my good friend, Jordan Harbinger on the show to talk about building social capital. Today, he's back on the show to talk about calling in that social capital. Through a series of unfortunate events with his business, he's had to reach out to his network, connections, and friends and request help in building a new business from the ground up. Without his work in building a stron...

There are two types of people in this world: makers and takers. The reality is that we've all been a bit of both in our lives. But I think more and more I'm seeing the pendulum switch in society from most of us being makers to most of us being takers. It's not sustainable. It's not healthy. And, frankly, it's not manly. So today, I thought I'd share why being a maker is not only your job as a man...

This week, I interview Bubba Downs, our host of the new series, In the Trenches.

I spent time in the military, including an active-duty tour to Iraq in 2005-2006. I know how hard it can be transition from service to civilian life. One of the most challenging things for me was to go from having a clear sense of direction and purpose to not knowing what my next battle was. I know a lot of our nation's warriors feel the same. Today I talk with my good friend, Phil Randazzo, about...

I'm sure you're well-aware of the drug abuse, suicide, and violent crime rates with regards to young men. It's all over the headlines these days and, with the latest school shooting in Florida, it's become impossible to ignore. There is a real problem here. And, while the rest of the world focuses on gun control and legislation in hopes of putting a bandaid over the problems that are becoming all...

So many of us focus on the end result - some noble goal we wish to pursue. And, while there's value in knowing where you're going, my guest today makes the case for measuring your successes in the smallest unit of measurement possible. Most of you know Aubrey Marcus, founder of Onnit. He is back again to talk about how he has managed to build so much success in his life. Today, we talk about the k...

We've all heard the adage that you are the average of your five closest friends. I don't take that too literally but I do know that when I surround myself with powerful people, life changes. There was a time in my life where I lacked any real intentionality about who I surrounded myself with and the results (or lack thereof) showed. Since those days, I'm made a deliberate and strategic decision to...

We all know health and wellness are important when it comes to stepping into our full potential but most of us tend to think it ends with eating right and exercising. While those elements are certainly important on our road to a healthy life, it goes well beyond lifting weights and eating salads. My guest today is Josh Trent. He is the founder of Wellness Force and is focused on helping people acr...

Higher education seems to be quite the topic these days. With the rising costs of education and the debate as to whether or not students are learning applicable skills, it seems inevitable that we'll see a shift away from traditional higher education to something more practical and affordable. I've been an advocate for trade schools and apprenticeships programs for some time now but my guest today...
