Order of Man

I had the opportunity to visit with Representative Madison Cawthorn with my family in DC last week and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We got a chance to tour the Capitol Building and get a small glimpse inside the world of politics and DC. But we also had the chance to sit down in his office and throw down the podcast you're about to listen to. We talk about the world of politics, why, while politics is fast-paced, very little seems to get accomplished on the Hill, how we as men can be informed without immersing ourselves in the political arena and theater that comes with it, the world of outrage, and, at the end of the day, what we as men need to do to keep this country on track. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Most politicians come to DC with noble intentions Its important (and fun) to play the political game Term limits on congress Values-based rather than issue-based representation How to avoid corruption while being surrounded by it Don't be defined by your challenges Working with people you don't like The balance between speaking in a bold way and avoiding extremism Using a lack of a filter as strategy The benefits of surrounding yourself with people who will call you out Disappointment is the most challenging thing about being in DC What is the political leadership doing right? Time for the silent majority to wake up A term limit bill that actually has a chance Eliminating federal income tax Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Our innate pursuit of comfort is the enemy of achievement and, yet, we've failed collectively to keep our biological hardwiring to seek the path of least resistance in check. Why is that? Why is it that we know we should seek discomfort yet find it so difficult to do? That's the topic of my conversation today with Michael Easter, the author of The Comfort Crisis. Today, Michael and I discuss the damage of helicopter and "snow plow" parenting, the psychological programming that keeps us from achievement, the concept of Mysogi and embracing annual challenges, how a healthy relationship with death keeps people fulfilled, and ultimately what you can do to overcome the Comfort Crisis that permeates every fabric of society. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Life really isn't that hard Parents seeking guidance from, rather thank giving guidance to, their kids Snow plow parenting Measuring happiness The value in considering your own death Challenges are required for true happiness Finding the balance between seeking comfort and challenging ourselves Why do we need to exercise How do we push ourselves mentally and emotionally The benefits and drawbacks of routine Finding value in boredom Put your ego aside: try to suck at something Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

If you turn on the news or any social media apps, you're likely to be met with a myriad of fantastic headlines, the latest political scandal, racial tensions, violence, or any number of issues these outlets use to get our attention. Of course, most of this is exaggerated to get us worked up without providing any real solutions to some of the issues that actually exist. My guest today, Suresh Madhaven, and I begin to break down some of these issues and work towards unpacking and discussing solutions rather than focus on the outrage that is used against us. We talk about the importance of men's rites of passages, breaking down the concept of systemic racism, crying wolf on the real issues, movements against masculinity, and the role of men in a fatherless society.

We've all heard people say, "You've got to pay your dues" or the concept of the 10,000-hour rule. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if you could skip the line, so to speak, and accelerate the results of your life while everyone else stands in line simply waiting for their turn.

Most of you are probably aware of Matthew McConaughey and his new book, Greenlights. I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant to read the book myself (I explain why to Matthew in this podcast), but after hearing from enough people that I had to read it, I decided to pick up a copy and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. So, when I had the opportunity to have Matthew join me on the podcast, I jumped at the chance. We talk about many important topics in this conversation and really hit on fatherhood as we're approaching Father's Day. We also discuss the power of being the underdog, reinventing yourself, the value of sacrifice, taking our fathers off pedestals they don't belong, and the concept and benefit of greenlights.

Men, I wanted to do something special today as next Monday is Memorial day and, after serving time in the military myself, I know how crucial it is that we remember our fallen warriors and honor the ultimate sacrifice they made to protect and preserve our way of life. So, I invited my friend and the youngest living Medal of Honor Recipient, Kyle Carpenter, back on the podcast to talk about his military service, transitioning from the military, and ultimately living a life worthy of the sacrifices of so many. If you don't know Kyle's story, he was as close to death as one person could be after jumping on a live grenade in Afghanistan to save his fellow Marines. All I ask is that you have a listen and stop sometime this week to think about how you are living your life and the millions of men and women who have died so that you can.

As many of you know, in January of this year, my oldest son and I started building a canoe. As we embarked upon this project, many of you introduced me on Instagram to a professional boat builder named @trentpreszler. Fortunately, Trent and I built a relationship as he shared with me some of his own successes and failures. And, when I found out he had a new book coming out called, Little and Often, I knew that I needed to have him on the podcast. Today, Trent and I talk about why he decided to build a canoe with the tools his dad left him, what the canoe symbolizes and how important it has been throughout the history of the world, why we place our fathers on pedestals they don't belong, becoming your own man, why our scars are important, and how little and often soon becomes great. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Taking pride in building a boat Being part of a long history A symbol of self-reliance Feeling a sense of value Leading to extraordinary On the road to freedom Finding purpose in your life Getting back to the adventure Knowing where you came from The pedestal of fatherhood Having empathy toward your father Plowing through uncertainty Feeling a sense of belonging Adding up to a man Forging your own identity Becoming more than a side hustle TRENT PRESZLER My guest today is a man I was introduced to by many of you when I began our canoe-building project in January of this year. His name is @trentpreszler and he is a professional boat builder. Many of you have probably seen his works of art (I call them that because they're absolutely beautiful) which are actually tools that men have been utilizing for thousands of years to improve their station in life. Trent is the CEO of Bedell Cellars, a winery in Long Island, New York but in 2014 he began a new path as he built his first canoe with his rancher father's tools. Since then, Trent has been building beautiful luxury canoes which, admittedly, is not a path he thought he would find himself on. Trent has become a friend of mine and someone who is extremely insightful. And, as strange as it may sound, I believe we were destined in a way to connect.

One of my favorite podcast guests and friends is back on the podcast today. His name is Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and the author of the James Reece series with his latest book just released called The Devil's Hand. Today, Jack and I talk about the differences between a calling and a career, dealing with discouragement from others, the conditioning that takes place in society and how to overcome it, Joseph Campbell's, The Hero's Journey, and how to utilize it in your own life. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Prioritizing opportunity Creating powerful relationships Career versus profession Preparing to be an author Making things possible Working with Chris Pratt Your next calling in life Getting into character The power of social media Getting the job done Dealing with internet trolls JACK CARR As I mentioned previously, my guest today is the one and only Jack Carr. I met Jack years ago when we had a podcast during the release of his first book after retiring as a Navy SEAL. I could tell you a bunch about his books and how successful he is but what you may not know is he's one of the most genuine men you'll meet. He invited me into his home, introduced me to his beautiful family, and broke bread with me like we were old friends. And, since then, we have become friends and it's been incredible to see him become so successful as an author with one of his books being filmed right now with Chris Pratt playing the role of James Reece (which we talk a bit about in this podcast). PREPARING FOR DESTRUCTION It's no surprise to you that the last 12 months or so have been…eventful, to say the least. That's why with as many variables that we, as men, are likely to face, it's crucial that we be prepared for whatever may come. After all, David Gilmore said, "The real man gains renown by standing between his family and destruction absorbing the blows of fate with equanimity." And, that's exactly what we're talking about in the Iron Council this month. We're learning, discussing, and challenging each other to become more prepared for emergencies, natural disasters, violent encounters, and anything else we may potentially run against. If you want to learn more about being prepared and banding with men who will teach you and hold you accountable for doing so, join us in our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council by going to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.
