Order of Man

As a member of the CIA annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012, Kris "Tanto" Paronto ( @krisparonto ) assisted in saving over 20 lives while fighting off terrorists from the CIA Annex for over 13 hours. His story, along with his five surviving annex security team members, is told in the book "13 Hours" written by Mitchell Zuckoff. When yo...

You are a liar. I am a liar. Everytime we fabricate an excuse, we keep ourselves from doing the work required to succeed. And, if you aren't willing to tell yourself the truth, you don't want it bad enough. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN056 http://www.orderofman.com

Ted Nugent ( @tednugent ) has been rocking America for more than 50 years. As a board member for the NRA and a conservative political activist, he has dedicated his life to teaching others and fighting for individual responsibility and personal liberty. As you'll hear today, more and more, individualism and personal liberty, are being frowned upon. It's as if somehow individuality is a threat to t...

I heard the phrase earlier in the week, FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Well, I'm here to tell you that's total B.S. Fear is real! And, in the next 8 minutes, I'm going to prove it to you and tell you why you should embrace fear rather than run from it. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN055 http://www.orderofman.com

I have now asked over 100 men what it means to be a man. And, I've received over 100 answers. It seems that defining what it means to be a man is a difficult thing to do. But, regardless of what it might mean to be a man, I think it's safe to say that every man has certain roles he will fulfill throughout his lifetime. And, how he executes in each of these roles will define who he is as a man. My...

I did a podcast a while back called, Complacency Kills but, when I say, "complexity kills," I'm talking about the exact opposite of complacency and/or doing nothing. I'm talking about doing TOO MUCH. And, more specifically the mistake of pitfall of over-planning and over-complicating every element of your life. I look around and I see so many people offering crazy hacks, tips, tricks, fads, pills,...

Study after study has shown that most men are dissatisfied with their career in some form or another. And, yet finding new and more meaningful work seems to be more difficult than ever. My guest today, Kevin Kermes, talks with us about why that is, how you can make your current position more meaningful, make more money, stand out in a crowded marketplace, and how you can upgrade your career to one...

It seems that everywhere you look, you'll find someone out there willing to tell you how to live your life. But, what I find fascinating is that not only is everyone out there attempting to dictate your life (probably because they're working to sell you their wares, and gadgets, and gizmos, and whatever…), but I have to question how often we, as men and leaders in our families, our businesses, and...

The word "wealth" has such a stigma associated with it. And, it seems more and more, those who have managed to acquire any amount of it are demonized by the rest of the world. The reality is, as my guest David Osborn says, is that wealth simply magnifies who you already are. Some of the wealthiest men on the plant have also been the most charitable. And, if you hope to do any good in this world -...

It's okay to be wrong. I'm wrong all the time. But, it's not okay to be wrong about the same thing over and over and over again. Here are three quick and easy steps you can use to evaluate whether you're wrong and use it to your advantage. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN052 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

If you're anything like me, you're a recovering "nice guy", or maybe you still are a "nice guy." A lot of men may hear that and wonder what's wrong with being nice. There's nothing wrong with being nice until it comes at the expense of your own well-being. My guest today, author of the book No More Mr. Nice Guy, Dr. Robert Glover, joins me to talk about the myth of the nice guy, common negative sy...

Consistency in all we do is critical to our success. Consistency trumps talent every time. I see a lot of men out there who I would consider "one-pump chumps." These are the guys that go in, swing for the fence, and, if they hit a homerun, they'll stick around. If they strike out, they pull themselves from the game. It's easy to be good for a minute. It's easy to be on your game when the stars are...

I get a lot of requests and a lot of questions about the importance of healthy levels of testosterone in men. Unfortunately, we're beginning to see studies that show testosterone levels among men are at an all-time low and show no signs of improving anytime soon. My guest today, Nicholas Bayerle, joins me to talk about the role testosterone plays in men, why we're experiencing a decline in testost...

Being "At The Ready" is about being prepared for whatever life may have to throw at you. It's about taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. It's about creating more opportunities because you are ready for those opportunities in every way, shape, and form. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN050 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Every single one of us has received a gift in our lives that have made us feel like the most important person on this planet. Knowing that, it's easy to see how giving gifts to others will make the feel. But, how often do we tap into the power of gratitude, appreciation, and gift-giving. My guest today, Author of Giftology John Ruhlin, joins me to talk about how powerful gift giving can be, how to...

Today, we discuss why and how we're led astray by society, the government, institutions, and those that might even be our "friends." We also cover some tactical strategies you can employ to avoid being led like sheep to the slaughter. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN049 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

There is no doubt that a dog is a man's best friend. They're loyal, hard working, and dedicated to the task at hand and the men who care for them. But, training a dog posses a set of unique challenges - I know, I have a new puppy myself. Today, Navy SEAL Mike Ritland, joins me to talk about how we can better connect with our dogs, the biggest challenges when training, the best way to communicate w...

Money has always been a difficult topic. The reality is that this little green piece of paper we call money has a much greater impact than dollars and cents. It permeates every element of our lives including our sense of worth and all the other emotions money manifests. My guest today, Jeff Rose with Good Financial Cents, joins me to talk about the importance of learning about money from the right...

Like it or not, your ability to connect with and relate to other people is such a critical component to your overall success in life. Dealing with your own life is hard enough as it is so adding another human being into the dimension makes it infinitely more challenging. Today my guest, Jordan Harbinger with the Art of Charm, joins me for the second time to talk about adding maximum value to your...

You're not always going to hit your mark. You're not always going to get it right. I mess up every single day and, without the ability for me to adjust fire along the way, the world would look a lot different. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN046 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

You're busy. I'm busy. We've got so much going on. And, if you're anything like me, it seems that taking care of my health is the easiest thing to get pushed to the back-burner. My guest today, New York Times Best Selling Author Ben Greenfield, shares with us how to carve out the time for our health, what key metrics we should be tracking, a powerful mindset each of us can implement, and how to ta...

In general, I think it would be safe to assume that we, as a people have become weak. The average man or woman seems more likely to face obesity, autoimmune disease, and an overall reduction in happiness and fulfillment. As we continue to seek a life of ease and comfort, it is becoming painfully obvious that our quest for perpetual comfort might be the very thing that will kill us. My guest today,...
