You wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't want to improve your life to some degree. In fact, I'd argue that most of you are interested in optimizing every facet of your life. And, that's exactly what my friend, avid bow hunter, co-founder of Under Armour, and founder of Big Truck Farms and Brewery, Kip Fulks talk about today. This is a fascinating discussion with an extremely fascinating man. We talk about manufacturing discomfort, becoming good stewards over all of our resources, developing undaunted courage, managing ourselves well, and optimizing our lives. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Made in America Working your ass off Problem-solving Loving the struggle Going around the wall A consumer society Big Truck Brewery Driven by beliefs Managing wildlife Making a sacrifice Experiencing doubt The common denominator Watching others rise Pushing past comfort Overcoming roadblocks KIP FULKS I met Kip Fulks years ago through Instagram. We spent some time hunting in Arizona and I'm always left fascinated and inspired by our conversations. He's a very deep and probably one of the most interesting thinkers I know. Kip is an avid outdoorsman, played professional lacrosse for 10 years, is one of the original partners of Under Armour where he helped build the organization into a multi-billion dollar business, and now owns and operates Big Truck Farms and Brewery where he has learned from scratch how to craft beer without any prior knowledge or experience. I've been asking Kip to come on the podcast for years. You guys are going to enjoy this one. 30 DAYS TO BATTLE READY Gentlemen, whatever your battle is, you cannot possibly win unless you have a clear and effective strategy for securing victory. Most men go at life with a shotgun approach, shooting everything they see, and no real method or system for ensuring they hit the target they're after. So, whether you're trying to salvage your marriage, lead your wife and children well, lose that spare tire around the mid-section, compete in an Iron Man, start a new business, secure a promotion – or generally trying to improve yourself in some way, the 30 Days to Battle Ready program has you covered. Over the course of 30 days, you'll work through 4 phases to develop your own Battle Plan so you can attack life in whatever way you see fit and actually produce the results you're after. Thousands of men have gone through the free program. It's time for you to go through it as well and make yourself Battle Ready. You can sign up at www.orderofman.com/battleready.

Men, I've got a great one lined up for you today with a man who I was just recently introduced to. In the last several weeks, his business has been forcefully shut down, he and his business partner have been arrested, and they're now facing a $15,000/day fine for operating their legitimate and licensed gym in New Jersey. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Living the American dream Respect for the American Institution Losing to COVID Stepping outside your box The moving goal post National media attention Being a political target David vs. Goliath Acting like a ruler Going 12 rounds Living a normal life Telling your story Supporting small business Look, I'm not asking you to agree with the premise of Ian Smith's current situation and the fight he's been thrust into (although I think many of you will) but I would have you consider the validity of the fight he's engaged in, what it means to be a man of conviction, standing up to the government, and putting it all on the line for something you believe in. IAN SMITH As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is Ian Smith. He is the co-owner and founder of Atilis Gym in New Jersey. He's recently been thrust into the national limelight and has been featured on Tucker Carlson, CNN's Chris Cuomo, and Charlie Kirk for defying local business restrictions and refusing to close his gym. This isn't a man who set out to defy the government, piss people off, or be reckless with people's health and lives but he is a man who is willing to stand by what he believes in the face of threats of imprisonment and astronomical fines for what he believes to be unconstitutional infringements. Gent's, you're really going to enjoy this one and I, personally, was extremely impressed with Ian's knowledge, his thoughtfulness, and, most importantly, his willingness to take a strong stand for what he believes in. BECOME BATTLE READY As you're likely well aware by now, we just released our free Battle Ready course designed to walk you through 4 crucial planning stages so that you can accomplish more over the next 90-days than you have at any other point in your life. If you're sick of living a life of default and mediocrity, I'm going to show you over a period of 30 days exactly how you can take control of your life once and for all and learn the systems to be able to predictably replicate results over and over and over again. Whether you're trying to salvage your marriage, connect with your kids, lose weight, get strong, secure a promotion, start a new business, or simply develop more discipline and consistency in your life, I'll help you take all of the guesswork out of the equation and show you exactly what you need to do to produce results.

Back by popular demand is my good friend and long-time mentor, Sean Whalen. I had Sean join me several months ago and the feedback I received was so overwhelmingly positive that I knew I needed to have him back on the podcast. Although you may not agree with everything we talk about today, the social climate we live in demands those who are unabashedly unafraid of speaking their minds and giving us a glimpse into perspectives we may not otherwise consider. This is a powerful follow-up to our conversation several months ago about what is going on in culture today and what a man needs to do to navigate these interesting times. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Paying to play Survival of the fittest Helping other people Truth is truth The blame-game Doing shit differently Living an exceptional life COVID-19 fallout The true reality Being fat, dumb, and healthy Ensuring our safety Focusing on you Investing in relationships SEAN WHALEN Gents, today I have the honor of introducing you yet again to my friend, Sean Whalen. Although he and I don't always agree, I genuinely admire his passion and enthusiasm for life, adventure, and new experiences. In fact, this conversation was recorded between him racing cars and qualifying for competitive racing. You're going to get a lot of information from this one and, at the very least, you'll be motivated and inspired to do more with your life. 30 DAYS TO BATTLE READY By now, you guys have heard me talk about our new Battle Ready program. Over, the past few weeks, I've been receiving hundreds of emails and DM's with testimonials from men who are getting crystal clear on what they want out of life and formulating a plan to make it a reality. If you want to grab your life by the balls and get done more by the end of this year than you have at any other point in your life, join the free Battle Ready program at www.orderofman.com/battleready. When you do, you'll get a series of emails over the course of 30 days that will walk you through four critical phases of planning and preparing your success on both the personal and professional front.

Civil discourse is a skillset that seems to be in increasingly rare supply but if we have any hope of solving our toughest challenges, it's going to require men of all races, religious beliefs, and sides of the political aisle to come together to have these challenging discussions. And, that's why I've really been looking forward to getting my conversation with Byron Davis to you guys. I knew that we wouldn't agree on everything we discussed but I was pleasantly surprised that we were significantly closer than those who prey on the outraged would have the population believe. We talk about the importance of the crucial conversations, why and how our egos get in the way, what "dismantling the system" means, the "bait and switch" of the BLM organization's messaging, cancel culture, and the proper role of government in our lives. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS A lack of maturity Challenging your ego Demanding more of yourself Police tactics Dysfunction in the system Cultivating a community Perpetuating a problem Investing financial resources Creating virtual fathers Impacting the world Moving the needle Counteracting the bad apples Calling out bad cops Globalizing our economy Addressing systemic issues Confusing the narrative Abdicating certain freedoms Stewarding your family Accumulating wealth Operating at your best Speaking truths BYRON DAVIS I'm honored to introduce you to my guest today. His name is Byron Davis and through his ministry, Legacy Men, his goal is to equip and empower men of all walks of life to be the difference within the world around them. Byron and I hadn't ever had a conversation before this so I didn't know a whole lot about him and his work prior to our conversation but I was so impressed with his knowledge, articulate thoughts on some of the most difficult topics we can discuss, and his genuine desire to lead from the front. He's a former USA National Swim team member and American record holder. Now, he's a speaker, author, and the founder of Authority Labs which helps leaders master their message and increase their influence. BATTLE READY Look, most men know they want to improve in some area of their life. And, generally, most of you know what it is you need to do. But let's be honest, knowing what to do and actually doing it are separate issues. And, I know, if you're anything like me, that developing the discipline to do the work required is extremely challenging. That's why I created 30 Days to Battle Ready. It's a free program designed to give you a 30 day track to run on which will equip you with the tools you need to develop discipline, maintain consistency, and finally achieve your goals – whatever they are (which we'll help you identify if needed). If you want to tee the rest of your year up for success on the professional or personal front, sign up for the free Battle Ready program at www.orderofman.com/battleready.

It's easy to lead in comfortable times. In fact, I'm not even sure if we would call that leadership. It's the times that are challenging that your true measurement as a leader comes into question. And, regardless of how you feel about the political landscape, COVID-19, and the civil unrest in society, I think we'd all agree that these are uncertain and challenging times. Today, I'm joined by my friend and 4-time guest, Jocko Willink, to talk about how to pivot effectively, overcoming the resistance to change in yourself and others, the differences between being reactive and proactive, how to take and inspire initiative, the dichotomy of caring for other people, and so much more. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Going virtual Effective training tools Overcoming hurdles Resisting change Emotional decisions The false dichotomy Resolving conflict Stripping away humanity Being a reasonable human being Proving people right Exploiting opportunity JOCKO WILLINK Gents, I am honored to introduce (for the 4th time on this podcast) my friend, former Navy SEAL Commander, New York Times Bestselling Author, and founder of Echelon Front, Jocko Willink. I can honestly say that after having multiple conversations with and getting to know Jocko on a personal and professional level that there isn't a single person more qualified to talk about leadership than him. And, these are certainly times that call for leadership. As you're well aware, Jocko is the founder of the leadership organization, Echelon Front, has written multiple New York Times Bestselling books, and, in case you've been living under a rock, the host of the extremely popular podcast, Jocko Podcast. Our conversations get better each time and this one is no exception. BATTLE READY If you haven't already heard, the free Battle Ready course is now available. In it, I'm going to send you a series of emails over 30 days designed to give you all the tools, resources, and information you need to make the next 90 days the most productive, profitable, and prosperous time in your life. I can say that with certainty because thousands of men have now gone through the program I'll teach and they're making more money, securing promotions, getting the girl, losing weight, getting strong, connecting with their kids, finding meaning and, like Pedro would say, "making their wildest dreams come true." Of course, I can't guarantee that but I can guarantee that if you implement the exact strategies I'll teach you, you will accomplish more out of your life than you ever have in the past.

Gents, today I am joined by the one and only, Andy Frisella. I don't say it lightly but this is hands-down one of the single best podcast conversations I've had since starting nearly five and a half years ago. We all know the world is in chaos and, frankly, it seems like so few of us are willing to have the tough and difficult conversations that we need to have in order to come up with some solutions to what ails us. Today, Andy and I address many of those concerns as we talk about societal issues, having difficult and important conversations, his life-changing 75Hard program, what the successful all have in common, and how you can take charge of your life. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Business strategy Social agendas Bowing to the pressure Making intelligent decisions Expressing your views Offering a different perspective Addressing real issues A painful history A level of ignorance Law and order Effective leadership The comparison trap Becoming an elite ANDY FRISELLA As I mentioned before, today I am joined by my good friend, Andy Frisella. I started listening to his podcast, MFCEO, roughly five years ago and I was immediately impressed with his ability to tell it like it is. He is the founder of the extremely successful supplement company, 1stPhorm, and the host of the number 1 podcast in the world, MFCEO. Since making that podcast so successful, he transitioned into talking about the real issues that seem to be plaguing society and launched his second podcast, REAL AF (which I believe is better than his first). I had the chance to spend the day with him at their new 200,000 sq. foot facility in St. Louis and was absolutely blown away with the facility and every single person in the 1st Phorm "phamily" that I met. 30 DAYS TO BATTLE READY Gents, if you're not already aware, a couple of weeks ago, we launched our 30 Days to Battle Ready program which is designed to teach you the framework for success over the next 30 days. When you sign up (it's free), you'll get access to a series of emails which is not only going to outline the process but challenge you to complete a series of steps that will radically alter your life. This isn't some cheap email course. This is the result of nearly six years of trial and error with me and thousands of men who have gone through the program. If you're discontent with where you are in your relationship, finances, physical health, and/or any other area of your life, commit to implementing this program over the next 30 days, dive in head-first, and change your life.

I know on the surface the title of this podcast may seem a bit far-fetched but I can assure you that what my guest today, Mike Ritland, and I cover regarding dog handling and training can make you a better man if you apply it. I don't want to make the comparison of humans and animals (clearly, there are huge differences) but there is a ton of psychology that goes into effectively training dogs that can be directly applied to our approach as men like developing patience, looking for feedback, adhering to first or foundational principles, how we can communicate effectively. We also get into some other topics regarding our current cultural crisis, politics, and our job as fathers. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Sheltering our youth Living with consequences Micromanagement Learning from your mistakes Training dogs through repetition Shaping behavior Rewarding your dog Socialization Training with "Dog Men" The Dog Warrior Foundation MIKE RITLAND My guest today is a former Navy SEAL and the founder of Team Dog Online Training, Mike Ritland. He's also a New York Times Bestselling author of three books: Trident K9 Warriors, Navy SEAL Dogs, and TEAM Dog. In addition, he is the host of the wildly popular podcast, Mike Drop. Mike is a fascinating human being never at a loss of an opinion on the current culture, how to train dogs, and generally how to become a better, more capable human being. 30 Days to Battle Ready Let me introduce you to our newest 30-day course, called 30 Days to Battle Ready.

If you didn't believe in the inherent value of masculinity, you wouldn't be here listening to this podcast. But you are so I know that you believe in the message to reclaim and restore masculinity in a world that has been constantly distorting what it means to be a man, undermining the value men bring to society, and signing masculinity off as a socially constructed and antiquated behavior of men. That's why the conversation I have with repeat guest, Stephen Mansfield is so crucial. He has been championing noble manhood for years and I could not be more honored than to call him a friend. Today, we talk about the culture of men, the critical importance of a man's legacy, the fire of heritage, rituals, a man's warrior spirit, and why we must all fight to forge noble manhood. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Learning family heritage The traditional family Community obligations Informal mentorship The lore of manhood The fire of God Male authority Building woman up Searching for answers Taking on ridicule Virtues of a warrior The duplicity of life Stepping into manhood STEPHEN MANSFIELD My guest today is my good friend and repeat guest, Stephen Mansfield. As I said previously, he has been a champion of noble manhood for years and has been a huge support and advocate for what we're doing here at Order of Man. In fact, he was gracious enough to write a powerful testimony for my book, Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men. Stephen is a political commentator, founder of Greatmen.tv, and New York Times Bestselling author and has written many incredible books including, Mansfield's Book of Manly Men, Building Your Band of Brothers, and his latest (which he is here to talk with us about today), Men on Fire. LEGACY Fathers, on September 3rd-6th we're going to be hosting our first-ever Legacy experience in Maine. You and your son (between the ages of 8-15) are going to come to my property to be pushed to the max physically, mentally, and emotionally. And, all of it is designed to equip you and your boy with the tools needed to thrive in the crazy world in which we live. If you're anything like me, ensuring your son becomes the man he is capable of becoming is what keeps you at night more than anything else. And, when you come to the Legacy experience on September 3rd-6th, you're going to be working alongside me and my boys and 19 other fathers/sons to ensure you have everything you need to help your boy become a man.

The act of creation is something we have a desire to do but just because we desire to create doesn't make it any easier. In fact, creating and putting your work into the world for others to judge is one of the most challenging things a human can do. There are a lot of reasons for this but ultimately it boils down to what my guest today calls, "resistance." I'm honored to be joined by someone I've admired and respected for a very long time, Mr. Steven Pressfield, and today we talk about what "resistance" actually is and how it manifests itself differently in people's lives. We also talk about the arrogance of planning, the culture of virtue, identifying the "soul's code," why work can be like war, and how to equip yourself for it. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The voices in your head Putting in the work Improving over time Making better mistakes Working the problem Defining professionalism The amateur mindset Going through a process Finding your calling Playing the long game The artists' journey Infallible wisdom A culture of virtue STEVEN PRESSFIELD My guest today is the one and only Steven Pressfield. Needless to say, many of you are already familiar with at least some of his work, including The War of Art, Do the Work, The Warrior Ethos, and Gates of Fire. But what a lot of you may not know is that Steven wrote for 27 years before his first novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance, was published. So, obviously, he knows a thing or two about putting in the work and overcoming resistance in all of its forms. Since then, he's gone on to sell millions of copies of his books and has become one of the most influential figures in fighting through challenging times, paying your dues, and teaching others how to succeed as creators. Gents, this one is such a powerful conversation. I hope you enjoy it. MAINE EVENT Last week, I talked with you about the Legacy Event which is for fathers and sons but this week I wanted to share our next event, Maine Event, which will be held October 9th-11th with an exclusive Iron Council dinner the evening of the 8th. Over a period of two days, you'll work alongside 100 other motivated, ambitious men to create a Battle Plan that will help you roll into 2021 in full stride and ready to seize all that the new year has to offer you. You're going to get one-one coaching, group accountability, camaraderie, and the type of conversations and insights that most men just don't get in their day-to-day activities. We only have six spots remaining so if you're even remotely interested, please head to www.orderofman.com/maineevent as quickly as possible to lock in one of the last seats to this incredible experience.

Building a business is something I think every man should look into and, while not every man is cut out for the entrepreneurial life, self-employment provides benefits that shouldn't be overlooked – the flexibility of schedule, the pursuit of passion, and unlimited income potential. But with all that goes into successfully running a business, starting your own can seem like a daunting, if not impossible, endeavor. Today, I am joined by my friend and serial entrepreneur, Ryan Moran. He is the founder of Capitalism.com and the author of 12 Months to $1 Million. We talk about choosing a winning product, the mindset for building a business, how to stack the deck in your favor, aligning your interest with business growth, and the true purpose of money. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Opening a new chapter An expensive use of energy Growth is pain Improving in the present Creating a meaningful impact Diminishing returns Creating value for others Serving the right people The twelve-month roadmap Building your infrastructure Earning trust first Predictable growth How to get funding Conflicting values RYAN DANIEL MORAN My guest today is my good friend and serial entrepreneur, Ryan Moran. He is the founder of Capitalism.com and the author of 12 Months to $1,000,000. He is also an investor and owns multiple businesses that generate millions of dollars in revenue. And, he has personally helped create over 100 millionaires using the strategies he teaches. In fact, many of the strategies Ryan teaches are the strategies I've used to grow Order of Man into what it is today. Despite his tremendous success, Ryan is extremely down to earth and has a passion for helping other people realize their own dreams through free markets and building passionate, profitable businesses. LEGACY Coming off of Father's Day weekend, I wanted to again let you know about our first-ever Legacy Experience in Maine. This is a 3 ½ father/son event designed to forge deeper bonds between you and your son, equip you both with the tools, frameworks, and resources you need to thrive, and build up the fortitude and resilience needed to succeed in an insane world. We're going to be doing some airsoft, Jiu-Jitsu, hiking, firesides, planning sessions, and some other challenging surprises that you and your son will be talking about for the rest of your life. If you have a son, nephew, mentee, etc. between the ages of 8-15, I want to invite you to join us September 3rd-6th, 2020 on my property in Maine.

It's no secret that I'm a huge proponent of Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, I'm sure you guys get sick of me talking about it on the podcast so much. But I do because over the past year and a half, I've come to find immense value in the practice and seen the benefits (sometimes hidden) of what it offers. My guest today is someone who I've been following for quite some time. His name is Nick Albin "Chewy" and he's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt. Today we discuss, the masochistic nature of Jiu-Jitsu, personal responsibility in training, dialing the intensity of your training both up and down, how Jiu-Jitsu can serve as a therapy session of sorts, and the hidden value of the discipline. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Getting into Jiu-Jitsu Dealing with pain Your worst enemy Good training partners Intentional training Prioritizing your routine Training too little Strengthening your body Being ultra-competitive Rolling with students How warriors train Going for the kill Seeing different sides Losing the fear Finding a good gym NICK ALBIN "CHEWY" My guest today is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt, Nick Albin (affectionately referred to as Chewy). I came across his work as I was studying, learning, and researching Jiu-Jitsu. He's got an incredible YouTube channel (Chewjitsu) filled with ideas, strategies, insights, tactics, and mindsets for improving your game. And, he's been indirectly instrumental in helping me improve my game as I dive deeper down the rabbit hole of something that has become a critical part of my week and life. LEGACY This message is for fathers with a son(s) between the ages of 8 -15. I know that Father's Day is coming up this weekend and it's likely that you'll be getting an ugly tie and/or some homemade arts and crafts. That's all fine and great but you know as a father that giving is better than getting. So, if you're looking to give your son(s) an experience they'll never forget, consider joining us at our first-ever Legacy Experience in Maine. This is a 3 ½ day event designed to forge tighter bonds with you and your boy and give both him and you the tools, resources, frameworks, and mindset to thrive, as men, in challenging and uncertain times. You're both going to be pushed physically, mentally, and emotionally but you're going to leave with a better relationship and the skills you need to usher your son into manhood. The event is going to be held September 3rd – 6th and we only have 5 spots remaining. Learn more and lock in your spot at www.orderofman.com/legacy.

Politics is just something we don't talk a whole lot about in the Order of Man movement. I think it's clear why. Masculinity isn't reserved for one side of the political aisle but I do believe there are some underlying principles of masculinity (and the betterment of society) that tend to be politicized. And, so, I've rejected the notion of talking about politics or being even remotely political but it's clear to me that these are conversations that need to be had. And, I can think of no better person to talk with us about it today than Sean Parnell, an Army Ranger veteran, New York Times Bestselling Author, and candidate for Congress. Today we talk about servant leadership, the American Dream, trust, power grabs, and men in politics. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Being a warrior Learning lessons Servant leadership Finding the right answer Dirty politics Raising campaign money Voting in leaders When tribalism wins Cultural shifts Political systems Defending freedom Coming home from war Economic fallout Common sense thinking Personal responsibility Showing gratitude Delivering justice SEAN PARNELL My guest today is Sean Parnell. He served as an Army Ranger with the 10th Mountain Division. His platoon, nicknamed "Outlaw Platoon" killed over 350 enemy fighters in some of the biggest firefights in the Afghan war. Upon returning to the states and after serious injuries (including neurological injuries), Sean was medically discharged from the military. He went on to write his New York Times Bestselling book, Outlaw Platoon, and is now a regular contributor on Fox as well as appearances on CNN, MSNBC, and many others. He is also the co-founder of the American Warrior Initiative and has since thrown his hat in the ring of politics and is running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District.

All of us have fallen behind or gotten off track somewhere in our lives (some more than others). Only some decide to get back on track and take control of their lives – to redeem themselves if you will. And, who doesn't respect the hell out of a man who has hit rock bottom and risen from the ashes? That's why I wanted to invite Wes Watson on the podcast. He's arguably one of the most influential men I've had the honor of talking with because of his no-BS, straight-talking approach to improving your life. Today we talked about Wes' 10-year prison sentence, the power of gratitude in dire circumstances, overcoming regret and shame, developing a new stream of consciousness, and how to build your own redemption story. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Cognitive dissonance Running from pain Personal growth External distractions Levering emotional motivation Giving yourself away Bringing worth to life Creating daily systems Regret is your guideline Shifting your mindset Another chance at life Sharing your F*ck-ups Re-writing books Managing negative energy Positive mental attitude Elevating yourself Living out of an abundance WES WATSON My guest today is Wes Watson, strength and fitness coach, but he's so much more than that. Wes simply uses health and fitness as a medium for transforming your mind and your life. Wes spent 10-years in prison and was quickly spiraling into a life of chaos and destruction but while serving his prison sentence, he began to transform his life through the power of his thoughts and daily actions. After being released from prison, Wes has become one of the most powerful voices in self-development, has built a massively successful business, and has inspired thousands of people to transform their own lives through his mentorship and coaching. You're going to hear in this conversation why I wanted Wes to join us as the fire he brings can't help but motivate and inspire you to get your life on track. IRON COUNCIL Gents, we're rapidly approaching father's day and, as we do, it was important to me that inside of the Iron Council we have a discussion about redeeming the relationship with our fathers. Regardless of your relationship with your father, it's likely that some conversations have been left unsaid and there is a strain between you and him. And, regardless of your ability/desire to reconcile with your father, there are steps you can take to come to terms with the relationship that you have with him so you can drive on in your own life with clarity, focus, direction, and purpose as a man. These aren't comfortable conversations, challenges, and discussions we're having inside the Iron Council this month but they're completely necessary if you want to break the chains that may have been holding you back from becoming the man you're wanting to become – not the boy in his father's shadow.

Gentlemen, my guest today is 4-time CrossFit Games Champion, Mat Fraser. I've always been fascinated with what makes some of the most successful men on the planet tick. That fascination became the foundation for this podcast and I can't tell you how honored I am to have this man, Mat Fraser, - someone I've admired and respected for years - join us to talk about his unusual and extraordinary effort and work ethic. We talk about his background in Olympic Weightlifting, building self-sufficiency, the need for sacrifice and singular focus, how to establish your core values and rules for life, the power of obsession, and ultimately, his path to becoming the Fittest Man on Earth. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Training at home Online competition Risks in CrossFit Hitting your goals An Olympic hopeful A level of sacrifice Putting in the work Keeping things simple Finding satisfaction Measuring success Daily motivation Chasing gratification Identifying values in life Living a simple life Establishing rule to life External pressure MAT FRASER My guest today is 4-time CrossFit Games Champion, Mat Fraser. In an ultra-competitive environment, he has found a way to apply himself and achieve insane amounts of work ethic and drive to become the best in his field – for years! He comes from an Olympic Weightlifting background had planned on going that route until he suffered a back injury in 2009 before shifting his focus to CrossFit. Most of you are probably familiar to some degree with Mat and I've been following him for years now but I was surprised at his level of humility. In fact, he's probably one of the most down-to-earth men I've had on this podcast in spite of his tremendous level of success and accomplishment. I hope that you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. IRON COUNCIL. Gentlemen, I know that last week I told you about this month's topic inside the Iron Council but I thought I'd bring it up again because, after the first week of our discussions and challenges, it is apparent how important the relationship is between a man and his father. And, it's apparent that many of us men have estranged relationships with our dad. This is unfortunate since most of us have learned (for better or worse) how to show up as a man from our fathers. When you band with us in the Iron Council, you'll be able to join in on these powerful conversations and participate in the challenges designed to push you into the deep end of your past, your potential, and the narratives you consciously or subconsciously lived your life by.

Guys, I've got a great one lined up with you today with the one and only, Mat Best with Black Rifle Coffee Company. We do things a little different as we answer some live YouTube questions but we cover everything from learning to focus on what's important, building confidence through creation, overcoming introversion, finding something that drives you, dealing with rejection, the power of different perspectives, and learning to become your own man. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Crushing your goals Staying focused Family time Being better than average Developing confidence Prioritizing family Going against the grain Investing in yourself Creating positivity Putting in the work Hating failure Keys to success Manufacturing hardship Embarrassing moments Figuring things out Planning out your day Creating your environment MAT BEST My guest today is Mat Best and he is the co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company. Every time I have the opportunity to talk with Mat, I walk away thinking how down to earth this guy is in the face of some incredible accomplishments. He is a former Army Ranger, successful entrepreneur, and New York Times Bestselling author of Thank You For My Service. And, he's someone who has figured out what makes him happy, what he's passionate about, and learned to go all-in on that pursuit. IRON COUNCIL This month, inside the Iron Council, has the potential to become the toughest, most engaging, challenging months we've had since we launched 5 years. The title of this month's topic is "The Father/Son Atonement" and we're going to be discussing and working towards bridging the gap between fathers and their sons. It's clear to me that the lack of fatherhood is a real problem in modern culture and after having one of my YouTube videos go viral (over 1,300,000 views) on the subject of fatherhood, this is clearly a topic that needs to be addressed. If you decide to band with us this month, you'll get access to the assignment, a Battle Team of 14 other men who will help hold you accountable to change and progress, and the challenges we issue that are going to push you further past your comfort zone then you've ever gone. But that's where the real change takes place and this is exactly where you're going to want to be if you're ready to expand. Join us at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Fear is something every single one of us deals with (probably on a daily basis). Unfortunately, too many men consciously or unconsciously allow fear to keep them from going after what they want most. So, how can you use fear to your advantage as opposed to a hindrance? That's exactly what I talk about today with my guest Akshay Nanavati, the author of Fearvana: How to Turn Fear into Health, Wealth, and Happiness. We cover the critical importance of becoming aware and accepting fear, flawed mental health, the idea that there are no "bad" or "negative" emotions, why you need to learn to explore the edges of life, and how to make fear your ally. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Confronting the fear of stillness Breaking sobriety Staying in the fight Running marathons Serving the greater good Self-destructive behavior Seeking out suffering Reframe Your Experiences Researching neuroscience Taking it to the next level Self-fulfilling prophecy Norman human response Experiencing diversity It's about the struggle Seek out new problems Owning your reality AKSHAY NANAVATI My guest today is a fascinating man. His name is Akshay Nanavati and he is a Marine veteran, speaker, entrepreneur, ultra-runner, and author of the book, Fearvana. He's overcome so much including a drug addiction after his service, a blood disorder that doctors told him could kill him in boot camp, and combat where his job was to walk in front of vehicles to find IED's. He's dealt with PTSD, survivor's guilt, alcoholism, and depression, and, after all of that, has somehow found the power to overcome all of it and live a life of fulfillment and adventure as a skydiver, mountain biker, scuba diver, and rock/ice climber. Men, you're definitely going to enjoy this conversation and use what Akshay teaches as fuel to light your own fire. IRON COUNCIL. Men, the Iron Council continues to grow as more and more men are seeing the power of what we're doing by banding with other men who are willing to hold each other accountable to accomplishing the most out of their lives. We just had Jack Donovan join us for one of our exclusive Iron Council sessions and we're in the process of bringing on more incredible men to join us for our weekly calls. In addition to that, we're going to give you the framework and network to transform your life from what you've always wanted to what you're actually experiencing. And, that is our whole objective – to bridge the gap between what you know you should be doing and what you're actually doing.

There is no doubt that many of us have begun to call into question the enforcement of unconstitutional orders and Covid-19 restrictions, including my guest today, Police Officer with the Port of Seattle, Greg Anderson. Greg is currently on administrative leave pending an investigation which will likely lead to his termination for insubordination after posting a video on his personal Instagram page expressing his concerns with police officers enforcing unlawful and unconstitutional orders. It's obviously a very touchy subject and situation but a conversation that needs to be had. Today, we talk about how we must unite as a country, the use of discretion by police officers, living in fear, the government's power/control grab, and drawing a line in the sand, and standing by your convictions. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS It's not about COVID-19 Violating social media policy Keeping it above the fray Operating in tribes Doing the right thing Inspiring officers Fighting for freedom The violent side of humanity Losing your mind Mitigating risk Living in fear Focus on the mission Reckless behavior Not picking sides Opening the floodgates Holding true to principles GREG ANDERSON My guest today is Greg Anderson and, although you may not know his name, it's likely that you've seen his video in which he talked about his concerns, as a police officer for the Port of Seattle, of enforcing illegal and unconstitutional orders in the wake of Covid-19. In addition to serving his community as a law enforcement officer, he is an Army Ranger veteran serving multiple combat tours including one to Ramadi, Iraq in the most hostile and dangerous environments one can imagine. Greg is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt and the owner of Electric North Jiu-Jitsu and has recently become an outspoken advocate for individual rights, liberty, and freedom. I think our conversation is likely to fire a lot of you up which is exactly what is needed in times like these. IRON COUNCIL Men, I'm going to hit the pause button on my conversation with Greg because I want to talk with you about our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council. I've received several messages from Iron Council members over the past several months that have told me that the Iron Council has literally saved their life. And, although I won't get into the specifics, it's inspiring to me to know that the work we're doing inside the brotherhood is getting men on the right track and back on the path to thriving and succeeding. There are a lot of ways we facilitate this but for the sake of time, I'll tell you that the two biggest factors that go into what we do inside the Iron Council is the framework and the network – the framework point you in the right direction and make the right moves and the network to keep you on track and give you the occasional kick in the ass when you need it.

The ability to accurately size someone up could spell the difference between life and death, whether you or the other guy gets the promotion, if that prospect purchases from you, or if she decides to date/marry you. And, I can think of no better person to talk with us about predicting human behavior than Robin Dreeke, who spent more than two decades as a behavior analyst for the FBI. Today, we talk about being wary of trusting your gut, the difference between your gut and intuition, why if you're betrayed by others you may have actually betrayed yourself, manipulation, judgment, how to predict human behavior, and why it matters. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Packaging human physiology Developing relationships Projecting blame Emotional hijacking It's all about judging You can't please everybody Positive manipulation Situational awareness Building muscle memory When to trust your gut Non-verbal body language Detecting deception Strategizing relationships Identifying non-tangibles motives Become a better leader ROBIN DREEKE My guest today is Robin Dreeke and he spent more than two decades as a behavior analyst for the FBI. He's dealt with extremely complex situations from handling Russian spies to navigating the internal politics on the Bureau. He's written three books, It's Not All About Me, The Code of Trust, and his latest, Sizing People Up where he shares a six-step system he developed to predict anyone's behavior based on their words, goals, action, and situation. This was such a fascinating discussion and one that if the lessons are applied, it will drastically improve every facet of your life. IRON COUNCIL Gentlemen, let me pause the conversation very quickly to talk with you about our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council. Membership in the Iron Council is up 15% over the past 2-3 weeks because men are beginning to see the value of banding with other strong, successful, like-minded men. And, that is exactly what you're going to get when you band with us inside the Iron Council. First, we're going to help you identify your track to run on – not ours, but yours. And, once you have identified that track, we're going to give you the framework, tools, and accountability to ensure that you stay the course until completion. If you know there is more inside of you but don't quite know how to unlock it, band with us, and we'll show you exactly how to do it.

The truth is often uncomfortable. And, frankly, most of us aren't willing to take a deep, hard look into what we know to be true. We do this because we're afraid. Afraid of what we might see. Afraid of what it may expose in ourselves. Afraid of what the truth may require us to do moving forward. My guest today is a friend and long-term mentor of mine. His name is Sean Whalen and one thing he's been consistent about his desire to seek and share the truth. And, he's revealed, for better and worse, some truths about myself that I was unwilling to acknowledge for a very long time. Today we talk about why some people despise the success of others, acknowledging what kind of men you need to become to achieve what you want, why most people are blissfully dissatisfied, and the power of embracing uncomfortable truths. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Producing results Tearing others down Identifying with pain Building a physique Addictive patterns Breaking social contracts Validating mediocrity Change your circle Habits & rituals Implanting your vision Loving yourself Becoming a machine SEAN WHALEN My guest today is my good friend and long-term mentor, Sean Whalen. He has been instrumental in helping me build Order of Man into what it is but more importantly, me into who I am. I don't always agree with or, to a degree, get along with him but I believe that is the power of a coach and mentor – someone who you can respect but challenges you to look at life in a way that is difficult and uncomfortable. And Sean certainly makes people feel uncomfortable. He says out loud what most people believe to be things you don't say at all and, in the process, his videos and messages have been viewed hundreds of millions of times. Obviously, he's a very polarizing man but he forces you to look at situations and events in new ways and has personally helped me achieve some incredible results in my life. IRON COUNCIL Gents, let me pause the conversation very quickly. I've seen a tremendous uptick in new members in the Iron Council and I can only imagine the reason is that in times of uncertainty, men look to bring stability and order to the chaos. And, that's exactly what we're doing inside the Iron Council – giving you the tools and framework to predictably and efficiently produce results in your life. If you're trying to start a business, rekindle a romantic relationship, connect with your kids, lose that spare tire, build wealth, become more influential, or any other goal that you may be working on, the Iron Council, has what you need to make it a reality. When you join us, you'll get the tools and framework you need to do what you've simply been daydreaming about for a very long time. If you're ready to get to work, join us. We're not going to do it for you but we do have a track for you to run on and the accountability that comes from a brotherhood of loyal, committed, successful men.

Reason seems to be in increasingly short supply, which is unfortunate considering some of the messes we've found ourselves in will only be solved through reasonable thought, ideas, and people. Also unfortunate is that those who are the loudest seem to be the most unreasonable and only wish to perpetuate the problems we have in modern society and culture. Today, I am joined by the one and only, Dave Rubin, New York Times Bestselling author of, Don't Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason. What I like most about Dave and this conversation is that he's willing to talk about the things you're not "supposed" to talk about including the myth of the gender gap, why "hate speech" should be protected speech, why not everyone is a Nazi as perpetuated by what he calls, the "lefties," and ultimately how to be reasonable in a world that seems to be anything but. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Moving towards equality Governmental control Consolidating power Empirical truths The human spirit Valuing individuality Protecting free speech Classic Liberalism Thinking for yourself The best path forward American privilege Be the vocal majority DAVE RUBIN As I said before, my guest today is Dave Rubin and I'm sure many of you are already familiar with him and have some preconceived notions about who he is and what he stands for. I've been following him for some time now and am fascinated with his journey from left-leaning progressive to a free-thinking classical liberal. He is the host of the Rubin Report and spent almost two years touring and opening for his friend and mentor, Jordan Peterson. His background is in standup comedy but he has become extremely well-known for his podcast where he's interviewed Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, Larry King, Dan Crenshaw, Adam Carolla, and so many more. Today, he's here to talk with us about thinking freely and openly about some of our culture's most polarizing subjects. IRON COUNCIL Gentlemen, let me hit the pause button on the conversation and introduce you to the Iron Council. I am amazed by the growth we've been experiencing over the past several weeks and I believe it's because men are beginning to see the value in banding with other men who have their back and want them to succeed. If you were to strip away everything from the Iron Council, that's what it's all about – a band of brothers who will support, encourage, and hold you accountable. And, if you're like most men, that isn't something that you have in your life. And, even if you do, the conversations stay on the surface and never get to the heart of what really matters and all that you're trying to accomplish as a family man, business owner, and leader in your community.
