Order of Man

I haven't always been as appreciative of the wild, nature, and wildlife as I am now. With me getting involved in hunting over the past several years, I've been more intimately connected to the outdoors than I ever have.So, when Coyote Peterson's team reached out, I knew it would make for an interesting discussion (And, if you have children, they're really going to like this one). Today, we talk about nature, encouraging youth to get involved in the wild, the unintended consequences of excessive human interaction with nature, where Coyote and I disagree on hunting, and, ultimately, some of his craziest animal encounters. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Introducing animals to the digital space A lasting legacy Learning about the world Differentiating yourself Interacting with nature Hunting for survival Conservation efforts Being in-tune with animals Creating your own experiences Encouraging kids to read The Sting Pain Index Inspiring future generations COYOTE PETERSON Nathaniel "Coyote" Peterson is a wildlife educator and the host of the Brave Wilderness YouTube channel with nearly 15,000,000 subscribers. I was first introduced to Coyote by my two oldest sons while they were on YouTube and asked me to come watch this "crazy guy who intentionally gets stung and bit by animals." He's also the author of 4 books, the host of a new Animal Planet television show set to be aired early next year, and the recipient of an Emmy for one of his series' called, Breaking Trail.This one is a little different than you might be used to on the Order of Man podcast but if you're interested in hearing our intelligent disagreement/discussion about hunting and, if you have children, you're definitely going to want to tune in.I hope you enjoy my podcast with the fascinating and interesting Coyote Peterson.

As many of you know, I've immersed myself in training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu over the past 3-4 months and, although, I'm only getting started on this path, I can see how beneficial and valuable it is to train in martial arts. Today, I have the honor of talking with André Almeida (he simply goes by "Dedeco"), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blackbelt who has been practicing for over 30 years. We talk about his rocky past in Brazil, how Jiu-Jitsu saved his life, what to look for when getting started on your own path, and the mindset needed to be a successful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Watching from the sideline Experiencing variances in life Learning opportunities Growing up in Rio de Janeiro Building self-confidence First-class mentorship Relocating to America How to get involved in Jiu-jitsu Helping others grow The importance of lineage Basic starting points for beginners Learning through vulnerability The power of a small arsenal Developing your style ANDRE "DEDECO" ALMEIDA Today, I have the honor of introducing you to my friend, Dedeco. Dedeco and I met last year at Origin's Immersion Camp and since then, he's become a friend and a bit of a mentor (although mostly online via social media). And, with as many questions as I've received about me starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I can't think of anyone better to talk with that him. Dedeco has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for more than 30 years and credits his life to being introduced to the art. He's a Brazilian National Champion, 3x State Champion, and 2x Pan American medalist.On top of that, he's one of the most sincere and genuine people that I know and I can't wait for you to hear our conversation. I hope you enjoy, gentlemen.IRON COUNCIL Most of you know about the Iron Council by now. It's our exclusive brotherhood designed to give you the tools, resources, and accountability you need to thrive and accomplish your biggest objectives.This month, we're talking about being prepared for emergencies and potentially catastrophic events.

That's why we issue challenges and assignments as tools to bridge the gap between what we know we should be doing and what we're actually doing.If you want to band with us and take the leap from knowledge to action and accomplish more in the next 3 months than you potentially have all year, head to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Quitting has become all too common and all too popular. While I can certainly agree that there may be a point in time where it may be the right course of action, too many men throw in the towel too soon and limit themselves to minimal results in the process. Learning to stick with projects, tasks, and relationships longer than you may normally do opens up all sorts of opportunities reserved for those who show the most perseverance and grit. Today, I have the opportunity to sit down with former Navy SEAL, JP Dinnell, to talk about his "Never Quit" attitude, where he developed this mentality, qualifiers for staying and quitting, and ultimately how you too can develop the same "Never Quit" mentality. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS A lack of accountability Simulating detachment Learning how to win Leading from high ground Improving through self-awareness Taking ownership isn't enough Having hard conversations Asking permission to lead Detach and assess Loyalty to the core America's Mighty Warriors Random acts of kindness Emotion and empathy JP DINNELL Gents, today I sit down with repeat guest, JP Dinnell.He is a former Navy SEAL and served with Task Unit Bruiser with Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Under their command, he served as an elite SEAL sniper in one of the deadliest regions of Iraq in 2006. In fact, his counterpart was Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle.He also served as a training instructor at Naval Special Warfare Group where he developed special operations urban combat and close-quarter training to better prepare SEAL units for the battlefield.JP has become a friend, a mentor, and someone I'm motivated and inspired by daily.IRON COUNCIL Gents, I know we're knee-deep in a great conversation but let me hit the pause button to tell you about a resource you're really going to want to know about if you're ready to take your life to the next level. It's called the Iron Council and inside, you'll band with 500+ like-minded, high-achieving men who will help you identify and complete your life's biggest objectives. Another benefit that I haven't talked about a whole lot is that there are hundreds of experts inside the Council that range from leadership development, fitness and strength, hunting and other hobbies, and emergency response and preparation, to name a few.

I don't care in what capacity you're showing up in life – you are a leader. And, whether you realize it or not, you are having an influence on those around you. Whether you're trying to secure a job promotion, lead your team and co-workers to success, manage a home, or get their kids to do their chores, your ability to learn and implement the strategies Jocko and I share today are critical.Jocko Willink (a man who needs no introduction) and I sit down face to face to discuss what it means to be a leader, considerations when raising kids right, striking the balance between opposing leadership methods (dichotomies), and very specific leadership strategies and tactics. And, if all that isn't enough, we talk a little bit about archery and beards. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Origin Emersion Camp Mental fortitude Mechanical drills The evolution of Echelon Front Writing a best seller Leadership for kids A first-class archery experience A roll of the dice The best of the best Feeling like an imposter Overcoming weakness Detaching from a bad plan How to handle ultimatums Correcting bad behavior The reality of leadership JOCKO WILLINK My guest today is a man who has now been on the podcast on four separate occasions and someone who does not, for most of you listening, need an introduction. His name is Jocko Willink and he served as the Navy SEAL Commander for the most highly-decorated special forces unit of the Iraq war. And, since leaving the military has gone on to lead on of the most recognizable and effective leadership companies in the world with his brother-in-arms, Leif Babin, Echelon Front. On top of all of that, he's written 8 books with his most recent being Leadership Strategy and tactics Field Manual (which we'll be discussing today). His other books include Extreme Ownership, Dichotomy of Leadership, and the Way of the Warrior Kid series, among others.I'm honored to call this man a friend and am proud to be able to share our conversation with you today. IRON COUNCIL Obviously, we've been talking all about leadership today on the podcast. I want to offer you an additional resource if you're looking to up your leadership effectiveness.It's called the Iron Council and it's a brotherhood of men working together to achieve maximum results in our lives. And, a lot of what we discuss is centered around the third pillar of masculinity, Preside, which is synonymous with leadership.Most of the institutions that have served men and offered a place for them to band together have been on the decline and while all of that is going away, the Order of Man and the Iron Council is rising up instead. We're dedicated to giving you the tools, resources, brotherhood, camaraderie, and accountability to step fully into that man you have a desire to become.If you want to learn more and band with us, head to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Too many men are reliant on others to save them when it all hits the fan. And, while there may be someone there to rescue you in your greatest time of need, it's critical that we all learn to take care of and protect ourselves. That's why I wanted to have Pat McNamara join me on the podcast. As a 22-year military veteran and someone who has dedicated his life to making himself more capable in the most dire times, he is uniquely qualified to talk about situational awareness, staying on the alert, being prepared but not paranoid, and making yourself a sentinel SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Using the internet as a tool Being moral and ethical The benefits of curiosity Being the protector The 45-degree syndrome Sunday Sentinel Sermon Do your 5's and 25's Utilizing your primal instincts Leveraging body behavior Preparing your spouse to be a sentinel Making incremental changes in life PAT MCNAMARA My guest today is a man who needs no introduction. His name is Pat McNamara and he is one of the baddest men on the planet. As I mentioned earlier, he is a 22-year military veteran and has served in a myriad of special operations units. Through his military service, he began to develop his own training methodology combining safety, continuous critical thinking, and effectiveness. In addition to that, he is an author of Tactical Application and Practical Shooting and Sentinel. Today, he joins me to talk about making yourself a more capable protector.

Fatherhood is one of the noblest, exciting, and rewarding callings a man can step into. It's also one of the absolute hardest. Unfortunately, there is no manual for becoming a great father, like you have a desire to be. Most of it is trial and error. But that doesn't mean we can't learn extremely effective tactics and strategies from men on the same path. My guest today is Alec Lace. He is the founder of First-class Fatherhood where he has interviewed the some of the highest performing fathers in the world: Tom Brady, Dion Sanders, Mike Ritland, Ed Mylett, and so many more. Today, we talk about managing your time more effectively, how to engage your children in more meaningful discussions, the viability of homeschooling, and how to become a high-performing father. HIGHLIGHTS The new-father mindset Struggles of being a father Tools to eliminate guilt Overcoming difficult times Shifting your mindset Hitting rock-bottom Taking ownership of your life Channeling your obsessions Maximum use of time Getting beyond your ego Being a single dad The never quit mentality ALEC LACE As I mentioned previously, my guest today is Alec Lace. He is the founder of First Class Fatherhood (I'm a previous guest on his podcast). He is an absolutely inspiring human being in that he's overcome some tremendous odds and personal adversity to become the type of father a lot of us hope to become. He's also interviewed some absolutely incredible fathers like Tom Brady, Dion Sanders, Kurt Warner, Dean Cain, Rob O'Neil, and so many more.Today, he's here to talk with us about what makes for a powerful father, how we can step up our game with our kids, overcoming our own personal demons, and simply being a better father. IRON COUNCIL Gents, I invite you to take a look at what our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council has to offer. I talk with way too many men who are lost without direction, clarity, and purpose.I get it. It's hard to find your way in the society in which we live. Many of you were fatherless growing up. Many of you are stuck in dead-end jobs you hate. Many of you are a shell of the man you once were or have the desire to become.I firmly believe that having a band of brothers to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you on the path you're meant to walk is one of the most powerful resources at your disposal. And, that's exactly what you'll find inside the Iron Council – men working together on themselves and holding each other accountable. It's not flashy. Sometimes, it's not all that exciting. But it gets the job done and that's exactly why it's so effective. Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

Getting Strong is undoubtedly something the overwhelming majority of men want to do. But with so much information out there and with our days stacked to the brim, it's hard to know what to do and how to find the time to do it.Today, I am joined by my friend and long-time strong man to talk about strength of the body and of the mind, both inside and outside the gym. We talk about forging mental resilience, having the right attitude to attack life, how and why we need to teach our children toughness, and how to forge your way to underground strength. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Growing up working as a kid Getting punched in the face A lack of hardship How to fall in love with hard work Going beyond the 9 to 5 Creating your new normal Building momentum Taking pride in your abilities Finding the right headspace Blending the mind and body Becoming less attached Doing more with less ZACH EVEN-ESHGents, I can't tell you how excited I am to share my conversation with Zach Even-Esh.I was fortunate enough to have him at our home and spend some time training physically and showing him around Maine. If you don't already know, Zach, he is a long-time strong man, a strength and conditioning coach, and the founder of The Underground Strength Gym. He has a passion for simplifying strength and conditioning and mentoring and preparing youth for life through the gym.

Each of us is faced with thousands of decisions on a daily basis. You're ability to make the right decisions spell the difference between failure and success for you, your family, your clients, your business, and your community. Unfortunately, with all the variables to take into consideration, it's hard to know which decisions are best.That's why I'm looking forward to getting this conversation to you today. My guest is David Meltzer and he is the CEO of one of the world's leading sports and entertainment marketing agencies. Today, we go to the root of making choices, why assumptions kill success, the power of harnessing fear, and how to improve your game-time decision making. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Rags to riches How critical decisions are made Fear-based consciousness Ego-based consciousness Making assumptions The pragmatic truth Having an attitude of faith Disciplining the sub-conscience Doing things consistently Choosing to be happy Living in the truth Shifting your energy Accessing what you want How to substitute fear Coming from a place of love Truth consciousness Improving your vibration DAVID MELTZER As I mentioned earlier, my guest is David Meltzer and he is the CEO of Sports 1 Marketing, a top 10 keynote speaker, an award-winning humanitarian, and a best-selling author.

He is business partners with Hall of Fame Quarterback, Warren Moon, and inspired movies such as Jerry Maquire, Any Given Sunday, and For Love of the Game. And, as you'll hear in our conversation today, he is an extremely deep thinker and I know you'll enjoy how deep we go in this podcast on how to position yourself to make better choices and decisions. IRON COUNCIL With all that we've had going on over the past couple of months with the move and our upcoming event this weekend, you haven't heard me talk about our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council for a bit.It seems to me most men have lost their ability to band with other like-minded men who are going to push, motivate, and inspire them to do and be more in their lives. And, that's exactly what we're all about inside the Iron Council.When you band with us, you're going to get a monthly assignment (this month is hyper-focused on physical fitness), weekly challenges to push you along the way, access to the Foundry (our communication platform), and the camaraderie and accountability that comes when you band with other high-achieving men.

Today, I sit down with a fascinating man. His name is Mat Best and many of you know from his viral videos for Black Rifle Coffee Company. But what you may not know is how he views his military service as an Army Ranger with five combat tours. During our conversation, we talked about how he views his service, his continual support of military veterans, how he founded his mission after the military, where he stumbled along the way, and how he helped turn a simple coffee company into a household name. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Mission-oriented Defining yourself Acts of heroism Defusing threats Controlled violence How to out-grit people Being uncomfortable Developing core-competencies Mission first Manageable disagreements Creating a community The land of opportunity The need for meaningful conflict Owning responsibility MAT BEST As I stated earlier, my guest today is someone most of you are probably familiar with. His name is Mat Best and he is a former Army Ranger and the co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee company along with several other companies he founded since leaving the military. He and I had the opportunity to sit down at Total Archery Challenge a couple of weeks ago in Park City to talk about his military service, how to lead an incredible organization in Black Rifle Coffee Company, and his new book, Thank You For My Service. Gents, I think you're going to enjoy this one as you might see a side of Mat you haven't seen before. ORIGIN If you're not familiar with Origin Maine, I encourage you to get familiar with them as soon as you can.

It comes as no surprise that most men have a desire to stand out from the pack as a man of credibility and authority. I call it influence and, the more of it you have with others, the more effective and successful you will be in your life. Today, I am joined by my friend, Bert Sorin, to talk about how to stand out as the man. He's a man I've respected immensely since I met him a little over a year ago and someone who stands out as the type of man I'm referring. We get into the "x-factor," adding value in all of your interactions, matching your actions with your words, and how to stand out as a man among men. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Defining the X-Factor Finding relevance Adding value to your tribe Developing social skills Having the right motives Protecting your "magic" Letting go of expectations Watching the tide come in Scaling forward Your value proposition Dissociating from your activities Building your fortress Playing to win BERT SORIN Gents, today I am joined by repeat guest and friend, Bert Sorin.Bert is the President and CEO of Sorinex. I know you've been hearing me talk about them for some time now since I was introduced to him and Sorinex about this time last year.Bert is a former Division 1 Track and Field All-American and an Olympics Trial athlete. And, what he learned in sports, he has now translated to running this incredible leader in strength and exercise equipment.And, it's not only about their equipment. I had the privilege of attending their annual event, SummerStrong, and I can tell you that the culture they've created within the organization and movement is a sight to behold. And, because of that, I thought Bert and I needed to sit down for round 2 to talk about standing out. Enjoy. MAINE EVENT One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is something along the lines of "How do I get my life back on track?" I wish there was an easy answer. There isn't. But, there is a simple one. It's called the Battle Plan and it's a system I've been developing over 10 years to take control of my health, relationships, bank account, this movement, and my life in general. If you've been listening to the podcast over the past month, you've heard me talk about the Order of Man Maine event (held August 10th-11th). Among the like-minded men you'll meet, the challenges we'll participate in, and the activities we have planned, you'll be working on your own Battle Plan to accomplish more in the next 90 days than you potentially have all year. If you know you're meant for more but haven't found the systems and tools to maximize your potential, join us August 10th-11th in Maine for an event designed to give you the network and framework to take complete sovereignty over your life.

All of us are dealt a hand, some harder than others. But as my guest today can attest, it's not the hand we're dealt that matters, it's how we play it.Today's conversation is with Nick Santonastasso (who many of you are already probably aware of). He is a bodybuilder, entrepreneur, adventurer, and highly-sought-after public speaker. And, he was born with a debilitating medical condition which left him legless and missing one arm. Today, we talk about overcoming the victim mentality, how to develop confidence, how to view difficult circumstances as a gift, and how to defeat the odds. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Being a man of action Giving without expectations Putting your ego to the side Using the right vocabulary Reframing a victim mentality Filtering out the wrong people How to build confidence Defining your own success Becoming the CEO of your life How to overcome limiting beliefs Facing objective reality Progress within yourself Surrendering your ego Reflecting on your wins Appreciating pain Growing through curiosity NICK SANTONASTASSO As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is Nick Santonastasso. He has got to be one of the most inspiring people that I know and, if you're familiar with him, I think you would likely agree.He was born with a rare medical condition (he's only one of 12 people born with it and 8 of them are dead). It's called Hanhart Syndrom and it kept him from developing his legs and one of his arms.But none of that has stopped him. In fact, if anything, it's propelled him forward as he's taken what would both literally and figuratively cripple most and turned it into something extremely empowering for him and the millions he inspires.He's tried it all from bowling to wrestling to bodybuilding and now, he's speaking up as one of the most sought-after public speakers in the world.

It seems to me the more that I have conversations on this podcast, the more questions I have rather than the answers I've been seeking. But it's been said that the quality of your life will be determined by the quality of the questions you ask. So, when I have an opportunity to sit down with my friend, Andy Stumpf, to ask some of life's challenging questions, it's always a great discussion.Today, we talk about so many different topics like taking risks (which we've both done with moving our families), developing resilience in our lives, and the never-ending challenges that come with raising kids. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Managing uncertainty Seeking adventure Navigating risk Mental toughness Guiding your children Voluntary hardships Parental balance Toxic masculinity Calibration Frank conversation Consequences of bad decisions Corporate endorsements The power of social media Politics Doing more with less ANDY STUMPF My guest today is my friend, Andy Stumpf. I heard he was making a trip to Maine about a week after I got here so I reached out and scheduled a conversation on this podcast. We had a day of archery, Jiu-Jitsu, a podcast session, and finished it off with a lobster bake with our friends, Pete Roberts, and Brian Littlefield.If you don't know who Andy Stumpf is, he is a retired Navy SEAL, avid bow hunter, and a base jumping, wingsuit flying mad man. But, in addition to that, he's one of the most level-headed men that I know. I think a lot of that has been developed to even out his quest for adventure.You're going to enjoy this one as it's not so much of an interview but two men talking about the challenges and struggles that are part of life.

Someone in your life has likely wronged you in some way. Whether or not you've learned to forgive that individual is another question. I think we all know that learning to forgive others is a liberating practice, but that's easier said than done. Today, I am joined by Andrew O'Brien to talk about his quest for forgiveness. I don't want to ruin the conversation for you, but his mother made national news when she killed Andrew's stepfather, asked him to cover it up, and attempted to pin it on his brother. We cover why forgiveness is crucial for men, how to take the first steps, elements to include on the "forgiveness journey," and finally finding a way to forgive. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Walking to freedom Emotional trauma Anger and resentment Childhood memories A newfound appreciation Estranged brothers Holding on to animosity The ultimate objective Always pleasing others Finding happiness in the wrong places Public criticism Emotional abuse Bigger ambitions Growing up as a victim Re-engineering forgiveness ANDREW O'BRIEN Today I am joined by my friend, Andrew O'Brien. Andrew and I have been friends for a couple of years, but he recently told me about a journey to forgive that he has decided to take (In fact, he begins his official journey tomorrow as of the release of this podcast). Also, as he shared part of his story with me, I couldn't help but think how powerful this would be for the men of the Order. I know forgiveness is an issue that many men in the Facebook Group and the Iron Council bring up. You don't need to take notes or anything on this conversation, but please listen to Andrew's incredible story about his mother and his path to forgiving her. I hope his discussion helps you in some way. MAINE EVENT Gents, I'm finally able to give you all the details you need to get up here for a meetup/event/experience on our new property in Maine.

Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. But without intentionality about what that code is, it's easy to get lost in a world filled with chaos, clutter, and distraction. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to identify the code you want to live by and consistently measure up to it. That's why I wanted to have a conversation with my guest today, Brady "Totanka" Cervantes. He is a former Marine Corps sniper and, more recently a professional bull rider. Today, we talk about his experience as a sniper, how it translates to civilian life, the struggles of transitioning in life, how to clear your head in chaos, and how to establish and live by a code. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Learning perspective as a young boy Finding middle ground Seeking guidance from the right source The importance of parental guidance Living out of a truck Life in the Marine Corp. The impact of TBI Understanding the consequences Pushing past fear The mental game Becoming legendary A level of discipline One thing at a time Overcoming ego Dealing with your own battle BRADY "TOTANKA" CERVANTES My guest today is Brady "Totanka" Cervantes. He spent nearly 10 years in the Marine Corps and, as a Scout Sniper, had several deployments throughout the world, including two deployments to Iraq and two deployments to Afghanistan. After his military service, he began training as a lead instructor for several tactical training companies, starred in a survival TV show called Kicking & Screaming, and, more recently, riding bulls professionally with the PBR. I met Brady several months ago at Sorinex's SummerStrong event and as I got to know him over a couple of days, I was extremely impressed with his clarity, confidence, and level of humility. All of which we talk about in our conversation. IRON COUNCIL If you've been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you know a little bit about our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Moving stone walls Life's defining moments Decades of opportunity Taking risks Living without stuff Making a sacrifice Washing off the comfort When is it "big enough" Building emotional equity Earned confidence IRON COUNCIL It's been said that the only thing constant is change. And, if you're anything like me, change is not easy for you. Even if we know it will be good for us, it seems to me that most men resist change. But if it's inevitable and, in a lot of ways, constructive, we need to understand how to deal with it and actually embrace change. That's why inside of our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, we're talking all about change and how to harness it for a force of good in our lives and in those we have a responsibility for. We're going to to be breaking it down weekly with understanding the nature of our relationship with change, how to take action when we are faced with an evolving set of circumstances, and how to effectively lead the people we care about through change. If you're ready to learn how to embrace change in your life, have some powerful discussion about it, and be challenged to take deliberate and intentional action toward growing and evolving, I invite you to band with us inside the Iron Council.
