Order of Man

I talk with a lot of men who don't think they can make a difference. Yes, they have big aspirations for themselves and others, but they feel like the odds are stacked against them in achieving their goals. The reality is that just isn't the case. And, today, I am joined by my good friend, Anthony Waite, to show you what is possible when one man puts his heart, mind, and hands into the work required to lifting others up. We talk about managing expectations, finding congruency with work and home life, avoiding burnout, and how one man can make a difference. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS A band of brothers Returning from deployment Managing expectations as a leader The importance of a father figure Cutting ties Finding truth in your current reality Self-reflection Physical and mental challenges The power in forgiveness Accepting responsibility Answering the question "why me?" How to be a R.E.A.L. success Saying yes to opportunity Taking one step at a time ANTHONY WAITE Gents, today I am joined by my good friend and someone who has been with us inside the Iron Council for the last three years. He is an officer in the Navy and, as you'll hear in our conversation, a man who is extremely impactful not only in his career but in his community as well. I've been so impressed with this man's growth over the past several years and as much as he's learned from and been inspired by the Order of Man mission, I've been inspired and uplifted by him. This is the caliber of men we have in the Iron Council. I'm honored to be able to introduce him to you. IRON COUNCIL Needless to say, based on this conversation today, the Iron Council is a powerful tool and resource in the lives of Anthony and hundreds more. These are the types of men you can expect to find inside our exclusive brotherhood – men who don't necessarily have everything figured out but men who are on the path to improving themselves in every capacity. And, as powerful as a transformation story as Anthony's is, there are hundreds of other stories of self-improvement from men who are harnessing the power of a band of brothers inside the Iron Council.If you're interested in hearing their stories and unlocking all the tools and resources we share, join us at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

All of us are building a brand at any given point regardless of if we're intentional about it or not. Whether you're trying to convince your kids to do their chores, get that lady to go on a date with you, secure a promotion with your boss, or solicit clients to do business with you, your credibility and influence spell the difference between success and failure. Today I am joined by a man uniquely qualified to discuss this topic as he's been a major player in Monster's branding and marketing and eventually working closely with the UFC to sponsor fighters. His name is Hans Molenkamp and in this conversation, we talk about what it means to be influential, how to develop powerful relationships, the power of exploring many different areas of interest, and, ultimately, how to become a brand builder. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Representing combat sports and athletic teams A marketing gun for hire Monster Energy Drink Transitioning from action sports to MMA Triumph United becomes a global brand What it takes to build a brand Helping others develop their plan The importance of networking Creating synergy Developing content that works Identifying stardom Walking the line of friendship and business Positive mental attitude Overcoming monotony HANS MOLENKAMP Gents, today I am joined by a fascinating individual. His name is Hans Molenkamp and he's a bit of a modern renaissance man in that he explores so many unique interest and activities from photography to skateboarding to surfing to marketing to mixed martial arts. He's arguably one of the most influential people connected with the UFC and, if you follow his Instagram page, you'll see he's connected with guys like Rampage, Conor McGregor, and just about everyone in between. He initially got his start in marketing and branding in the mid-'90s with Osiris shoes then on to a key component of Monster's marketing and branding division and eventually becoming a liaison of sorts between Monster, professional fighters, and the UFC. And, today, he's here to share his story from humble beginnings to go on to work with some of the most elite athletes in the world. IRON COUNCIL As I was flying home from Sorinex's SummerStrong event, the plane started to bob up and down. As we dealt with the turbulence, I could feel the pilot making corrections in altitude and direction to navigate us out of the clouds. And, as he did, I couldn't help but think of his team on the ground directing him to safer, smoother paths. I share that with you because everywhere you look, you can see the value in having a powerful team to direct you throughout the course of your life. Yeah, you could go at it alone but why deal with all the turbulence of life if there is someone there to support you, back you up, and light the better path? That's the power of the Iron Council, our exclusive brotherhood of men working together to chart their own paths and learn how to navigate the pressure and turbulence this life has to offer.

Everyone knows the adage, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." And, as overly-simplistic as it may be, there is a lot of truth to that for a lot of different reasons.Today, I am joined by Ken Coleman, author of the Proximity Principle to talk about how true that statement is and to break it down for us even further We talk about finding the right people and being in the right places, overcoming the limiting beliefs fueled by pride and fear, building an expansive web of the right connections, and how to utilize the "Proximity Principle" to get ahead. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Our intrinsic need to provide Passion versus provision The emotional journey Bone-crushing doubt Weathering the storms of life The Discovery Process Applying the Proximity Effect Stepping into objectivity Silencing fear Finding the right people The value of humility The first bold step KEN COLEMAN Now, I'll admit, I hadn't been familiar with his work until Ramsey Solutions reached out to me about his new book, Proximity Principle, but after doing some research and learning more about him, I truly understand how well this guy knows his stuff and how powerful a resource he can be for any man who is trying to get ahead in his career and build something meaningful and significant in his life. Ken is an author, a career expert, and a member of Ramsey Solutions where he frequently co-hosts the Dave Ramsey Show. I really enjoyed this conversation and I have no doubt you will too. And, more importantly, I know you'll get a ton out of it. IRON COUNCIL Gents, let me talk with you about the "Wild Man" for a minute. The Wild Man is the man inside that we've either silenced or allowed society to silence for far too long. And, it's the part of us that we need to learn to let out of the cage more often. He is our competitive, aggressive, dominant, and wild nature and, in the right circumstances and context can be used as a powerful force for growth and expansion in our lives. But, most of us have allowed ourselves to be domesticated for too long and have shut down the very elements that give us a competitive advantage. That's why we're talking about the Wild Man inside our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council this month. We're discovering how to acknowledge, explore, and unlock him within ourselves and tap back into the masculine roots we've bound and chained at the systematic conditioning of society. And, on top of the discussions, we're challenging ourselves (500 men) to push harder and further than we have for years with the goal of accomplishing huge things in our lives. If you want to join the discussion and the challenge, band with us at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil. Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

I think it's safe to assume all of us have ambitions for the future. You wouldn't be listening to this podcast if that wasn't the case. Unfortunately, we have a tendency of getting in our own way and sabotaging ourselves in the pursuit of those ambitions. Today, I am joined by New York Times Bestselling Author and repeat guest, Gary John Bishop, to talk about how hardwired into us the self-sabotage really is, what the three greatest saboteurs are, how to balance certainty and aspirations, the myth of truth, and how to finally end self-sabotage. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The misconception of "truth" Living life with intent Personal expansion Awareness versus knowledge Making a real change in your life How to become more aware Finding new paradigms in life Stepping back into self-sabotage Focusing on the right things Being a victim of life The chaotic world Lack of fulfillment Wanting certainty but desiring new Questioning everything you know Going beyond your own constraints GARY JOHN BISHOP Today, I am joined by New York Times Best Selling Author, Gary John Bishop for our second discussion regarding his second book, Stop Doing That Sh*t. Gary is a personal development expert and has received a lot of attention over the past several years for his unique approach to self-help and his ability to cut to the heart of matters without a lot of B.S. His first book, UnFu*k Yourself, has sold nearly 1,000,000 copies and is a testament to the fact that people are tired of the motivational, rah-rah, self-help space that has left people informed but not any further down the path to their objectives. Sit back, take notes, and enjoy this powerful conversation with Gary John Bishop. IRON COUNCIL Along the lines of self-help, I think many of us have seen where it falls short and how so many men who have a desire to improve themselves never really do.That's why, when I founded the Order of Man, it was always my intention to bridge the gap between what we know and what we do. And, that is where our exclusive brotherhood of men comes into play. It's really not enough to know you want to improve and then go at it alone. You need two things: a framework and a network. A framework to tap into a proven strategy that will help you become an optimized man and a network of men who are on the same path (and further down it) to assist along the way. You'll find both inside the Iron Council and learn how valuable a framework and network can really be. To learn more, head to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Although the likelihood of us facing a life and death survival situation or natural disaster is lower than it has ever been, there is value in learning how to deal with these potentially devastating life events. Today, I am joined by my friend, MMA fighter and survivalist Josh Tyler to talk about his latest experience in a 21-day survival challenge, the skill sets we'll need to survive, some of the biggest threats to our safety and security, and how to survive emergencies, natural disasters, and dangerous encounters. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Deploying the right skill set Common situations in the wild Framework for survival Priority of needs Doing things the hard way Fort versus shelter Front-end preparation Leveraging the mind for survival Experience as a frame of reference Redefining who we are Ultimate Ninja Challenge recap Becoming more efficient in life Battling a quitters mindset Turning things over to a higher power Dealing with sleep deprivation The power of small wins Outdoor survival school Falling into the trap of comfort JOSH TYLER Today, I am joined by my friend Josh Tyler who I consider to be one of the most capable men I know. He's an MMA fighter, a survivalist, and a man who knows a ton about how to keep himself alive in some of the most challenging and dangerous encounters we may face. He's also been instrumental in the experiences we run with men and their boys and has personally helped me become more equipped to deal with some of life's uncertainties. He's also some who looks for difficult situations and thrusts himself into those environments willingly to make himself more capable and proficient as a man. Take notes today and enjoy my conversation with Josh Tyler IRON COUNCIL One of the biggest challenges men face on their journey to improve themselves is having to go at it alone. It can be done but there is something powerful to be found in banding together with other men. And, that's where a brotherhood of like-minded men comes into play. We call it the Iron Council and through helping thousands of men like you tap into this powerful network, we've seen men salvage devastated marriages, reconnect with their children in powerful ways, lose weight, gain confidence, develop clarity, and generally make themselves into stronger, tougher, better, more capable men. We do this through our framework of communication and a proven system that is designed to push and test men in ways they may never have.If this sounds of interest to you and you want to learn more, join us at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Regardless of your station in life, I think it's safe to assume that every single one of us has a desire to transform our lives in some way. There is a myriad of reasons why a lot of people aren't able to make that transformation happen: lack of motivation, discipline, drive, etc. Today, I am joined by former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke to talk about how he went from a son of a wealthy and powerful man in Nigeria to growing up on the streets of the Bronx, to becoming a Navy Seal, and eventually a Hollywood actor and screenwriter, and ultimately, how he transformed his life. Show Highlights Writing a book to inspire Treating people appropriately Turning anger into positivity Doing the hard work Overcoming mental deficiencies Succeeding at all cost Appreciating fear The importance of your mind Searching out father figures The progression of a criminal life Transitioning into the military Never giving up on people Surviving Hell Week Completing BUD/S Stepping into fatherhood Life after the Seals REMI ADELEKE I had the opportunity to sit down with an incredible man last week. His name is Remi Adeleke. You may know of him as a former Navy SEAL and Hollywood actor but what you might not know is how this man was born to a chief of an African tribe in Nigeria, lost his father at age 5, ended up moving to the states with his mother, brother, and not a penny to their name, starting selling drugs and running scams to make some money, getting into the Navy under some questionable circumstances, and eventually becoming a Navy SEAL and Hollywood actor. Guys, you are going to be absolutely blown away with this human and his inspiring story. So, sit back, take some notes if you want, and be inspired to make more of your circumstances and transform your life. IRON COUNCIL When I say the term, "Wild Man," I think we all have some ideas of what that individual may look like and how he might behave. Most of us, as men, have been conditioned to silence the "Wild Man" within us and while there are times that certainly should be the case, there are other times where it may be required to let him out of his cage. That's exactly why we're going to be discussing this inside the Iron Council, our exclusive brotherhood, for the month of May. Civilized behavior serves its purpose but too many of us have locked away our wild nature and thrown away the key. This month will be all about rediscovering who we are as men and why it's critically important to tapping into our primal roots. You'll band with a Battle Team of 14 other men, be challenged to take on some new adventures and risks and be held to task in accomplishing worthy objectives in your life.

We all know that testosterone is one of the key hormones that drives much of our masculine behavior. What you may not know is that testosterone levels are trending downward for men of all ages. While those who see lower testosterone levels in themselves are racing towards testosterone replacement therapy, there are many natural ways to address T levels. Today, I am joined by Neuroscientist, Christopher Walker to talk about testosterone levels, the importance of micronutrients in your diet, the role of the thyroid and pituitary gland in regulating hormonal levels, training, supplementation, and how to master your testosterone levels. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How hormonal levels impact men The Law of Compensation Finding truth in the medical field Defining health Balancing fitness Indicators of health What to avoid when building testosterone Resources to test your micronutrients Balancing hormones Recovery Nutritional elements Carbohydrates Lifestyle elements CHRISTOPHER WALKER My guest today is Christopher Walker. He is a neuroscientist who has been independently studying health, fitness, and testosterone for over a decade. He is also the author of Master Your T which is the definitive guide to raising your testosterone levels naturally. He and I met years ago and I've been following his work and implementing his programs in my life ever since and I've seen drastic improvements in my health, fitness, and nutrition. He's arguably one of the foremost authorities on how hormonal levels impact men and today he's here to talk with us about exactly how that happens and how we can improve our T-levels naturally and safely. IRON COUNCIL Gents, let me hit the pause button here and introduce you to a resource that has proven to be one of the greatest tools men have incorporated in their lives to improve their health, relationships, business, and bank accounts.

Making a leap in any facet of your life whether it's within a relationship, career, or anywhere in between is a challenging thing to do. The leaps, however, expose us to new growth and new opportunities that we do not open ourselves up to any other way. Today, I am joined by repeat guest, Tommy Baker, to talk about "the leap." We discuss redefining risk, how to avoid overwhelm, strategies for giving yourself more clarity, eliminating noise, and tactics you can use for making the leap. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Making the leap in any area of life Seeking new opportunity How to overcome hurdles Why men struggle Taking the direct path The messy work of clarity Separating from toxic people Stepping into discomfort The common ingredients of growth The pain of "untapped potential" How to work toward making the leap Taking non-emotional inventory TOMMY BAKER Gentlemen, I am honored to introduce you to my friend and repeat guest, Tommy Baker. Tommy is one of the most positive people I know and when he sent me a copy of his latest book, The Leap of Your Life, I knew I wanted to get him back on the podcast for round two. He is a fitness and life coach and the founder of The Resist Average Academy podcast where he is teaching people across the planet to take control of their lives and overcome the hurdles and barriers that have been keeping them back. You'll hear it in his voice that his positivity and energy is infectious and this conversation is packed with useful information, especially if you're ready to make a big leap in your life that could lead to amazing results. IRON COUNCIL This morning as I was walking around in my yard, I noticed several weeds in my grass that actually looked like grass. But they weren't, they were weeds attempting to infiltrate my yard. So, I did what any good steward over his yard would do. I picked them from the ground and threw them away. I share this with you because life is often very much the same way. And, like the weeds I picked this morning, it is critical we learn to recognize and remove any weeds from our life. But equally important is then replacing that void with what we actually want to grow. And, that's where our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council comes in. We've created an environment designed to shape and grow men. We work collectively to hold each other to the highest possible standards and accomplish big things in our lives.

With regards to being a man, it seems to me that society has watered down and diluted the definition of masculinity. And, although we may not consciously realize it, the shift from "capable man" - strong, bold, courageous, and proficient - to something else entirely has impacted the way we show up in our lives. Today, I am joined by the one and only Elliott Hulse to talk about that societal shift and how they've influenced our thoughts and actions. We talk about why boys and men need to be initiated, the importance of the Patriarchy, how hierarchies serve men effectively, and why we need to return to masculinity. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why boys and men must be initiated The critical component of any masculine initiation How to spot pseudo initiations How men work best together compared to women How to increase your sexual power Why your old self must die How men can "atone to their fathers" The importance of the Patriarchy in society How to destroy your inner beta The challenges of public education for boys and men Why a man needs to heal his "inner feminine" Developing patterns for success as a man How hierarchies serve men effectively How to develop the mature masculine Why men have inappropriate relationships with their women ELLIOTT HULSE Today I am joined by a man I know a lot of you follow, Mr. Elliot Hulse. I've been following Elliott for some time now and after dozens and dozens of requests to get him on the podcast, I reached out and made it happen. Elliott is a strength and conditioning coach and built up much of his reputation by teaching others how to develop physical strength. But his idea of strength goes so much deeper than that and covers not only physical but mental and emotional as well. Lately, he's been talking a lot about the demise of masculinity and how we, as men, can reclaim and become more masculine and how it would serve us well to do it. I knew this one would be interesting and unique to what we've done in the past. I think you're going to enjoy it and get a lot from our conversation which, based on how it went, will be one of many more conversations.

Making yourself healthy is one of the absolute best things that you can do for yourself and those you're working to serve. It's too bad that most of the information and the way we choose to live our lives is stacked against us. My guest today, the one and only Ben Greenfield, joins me for round two on the podcast to talk about how to take back control of our health and use it as fuel to excel in our lives. We cover the fundamentals but we also get into some fringe and not-so-common ideas like utilizing infrared therapy to reduce inflammation, the distinction between medicines and drugs, markers to improve circadian rhythm, and, ultimately, how to biohack your way to health. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Healthy travel hacks How infrared therapy improves testosterone and inflammation levels 3 markers to improve your circadian rhythm How the use of psychedelics can improve your health and performance The critical importance of sleep when traveling The concept of "unschooling" as a medium for raising children When biohacking isn't the right approach The benefits of intermittent fasting The difference between drugs and medicines Specific strategies that replicate the benefits of psychedelics The importance of introducing variables into your training Optimal lifting routines for developing muscle growth Introduction to the carnivore diet The effect on your health of timing your meals correctly BEN GREENFIELD Gentlemen, once again, I have the opportunity to introduce you to a friend of mine, Mr. Ben Greenfield. A lot of you do not need an introduction to who this man is but for those of you who may not be familiar with him, he is one of the world's leading experts on the subject of health, fitness, nutrition, and all things bio-hacking. And, he's probably one of the most fascinating people I've had the opportunity of getting to know over the past several years. He's got a master's degree in physiology and biomechanics and has lept into the fitness world, testing new medical and health theories and pushing himself as hard as just about any other human I've met. He's trained with Navy SEALs, professional sports teams, and completed some of the most elite obstacle course races in the world.

If building wealth was simply about math, we'd all be independently wealthy because we all know how to add and subtract. Seeing as how we're not all independently wealthy, there must be something else at play. And, it might surprise you to know that it's you that has the potential to become your own worst enemy. Today, I'm joined by repeat guest, Dr. Daniel Crosby to talk about human psychology and why it hinders your ability to build the level of wealth you're after. We cover how your behavior dictates investing success, how our physiology and psychology work against us, how a "contrarian mindset" will help us succeed, and how to invest - the right way. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How behavior dictates investing success 3 traits all investment strategies must posses How a contrarian mindset could improve your investment portfolio How to balance logic and emotion in investing How financial markets help you keep score in your life Why overestimating our abilities hinders performance How good behavior can be expensive but necessary The power of a financial coach How "hedonic adaptation" keeps us from being happy with more money How "action bias" hurts our portfolios How our social nature has created incredible amounts of wealth How our physiology and psychology can work against us How noise and chaos is our enemy and how to tune it out The need to overcome arrogance and ego in investing Why "rule-based behavioral investing" is so powerful DR. DANIEL CROSBY Today I am joined by repeat guest, Dr. Daniel Crosby. He is a trained psychologist, behavioral finance expert, and asset manager. Specifically, he studies market psychology to understand the nature of why we do what we do and how it impacts our ability to invest successfully in financial markets. He is a New York Times Bestselling Author and his ideas have made him a critical voice and expert in the financial community. As a former financial advisor myself, I've been connected with Dr. Crosby for years and have applied many of his ideas and teachings into my previous financial practice. He brings a unique and refreshing perspective to building wealth and one that has the potential to help you finally invest successfully.

If you're anything like me, you're fed up with the noise and nonsense we see in mainstream and social media. It seems that everywhere we turn and with everything we say, people are looking for reasons to be upset and/or offended. My guest today does not allow that to back him down or dictate the conversations he wants to have on some very important subjects everyone else is too afraid to talk about, from sexual orientation, religion, masculinity, politics and just about every other topic we're "not supposed to talk about." His name is Chad Prather and, today, we talk about our responsibility to speak up, calling boys into manhood, the rise of the victim culture, and the power of being politically incorrect. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The power of political incorrectness Our responsibility to speak up How to become a more effective communicator The rise of the "victim culture" The delusion of social media Overcoming the vocal minority The danger of identity politics Calling boys into manhood Losing the ability to connect face-to-face Learning to be satisfied but not content The power of storytelling Re-orienting a generation of weak people Developing a vision Taking risks Fostering courage and confidence CHAD PRATHER My guest today is a man that won't need an introduction for a lot of you. His name is Chad Prather and you may know him as the political cowboy. But just in case you don't already know, Chad is a comedian and a political commentator willing to discuss (and have some fun with) some of the most polarizing topics in society today. He's been entertaining people on TV as early at 6 years old and hasn't let up since. He's been featured on Fox New, A&E, CNN, MSN, and The Blaze. In fact, he's everywhere. So much so that I can list all the things he's up to. That said, I'm excited to have had the chance to sit down and talk with someone who I admire for not only his perspective and his interesting approach to sharing it but his willingness to do so in an environment that seems to be increasingly wanting to shut down these types of conversations.

There is no question that we are increasingly committing ourselves to digital use. The fact is that our use of digital technology has presented us with some opportunities never before available in the history of mankind. But that doesn't mean it doesn't pose a very serious threat to our sanity and well-being. Today, I talk with repeat guest, Cal Newport, to talk about some of those threats and, more importantly, how we harness the power of digital technology while minimizing the risk that inherently comes with it. We talk about the philosophy of digital minimalism, why you ought to consider a "digital de-clutter," how to keep from losing control to technology, and how to minimize digital use while maximizing your life. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS What is digital minimalism How to develop a philosophy of technology use How to incorporate a digital de-clutter Why you should place priority on long-term meaning over short-term satisfaction How we lose control to technology Why technology is not neutral Why clutter is costly How to develop a personal technology process How we're beginning to see mental health issues associated with technology use Strategies for overcoming digital addiction How tech. companies capitalize on the "attention economy" Why social approval is so compelling, even if we know the dangers Why real-world interaction is so much more powerful than digital interaction Why every man needs to strategize his free time How to utilize the idea of "slow media" in your life CAL NEWPORT Gentlemen, today I have the honor of introducing you to my friend and repeat guest, Mr. Cal Newport. Cal is an MIT graduate and a professor of computer science at Georgetown University and, in addition to that, he is extremely interested in the intersection of technology and society. I know many of you have read his books, including, So Good They Can't Ignore you, Deep Work, and his latest New York Times Bestseller, Digital Minimalism. I've been fascinated with his work since I first read, So Good They Can't Ignore you. In fact, many of his theories and ideas have been used in my life to build this movement, Order of Man. I'm not sure I would have had so much success with the organization without incorporating some of his ideas, including the ones he'll be sharing with us today.

Confidence is something a lot of men struggle with. Unfortunately, it's also something a lot of men believe you either have or you don't. That just isn't the case. As with any skill, it can be developed through intentional action. Here are ten steps to foster more confidence: Have a deep, emotionally charged vision for your life Be very specific on what you want to accomplish and why Tie that to small, actionable steps you can take daily Surround yourself with those who are achieving what you want to achieve Familiarize yourself with your fear in controlled environments Develop and build upon small wins Find people who will hold you accountable Don't make excuses – call your fear for it for what it is Redefine Failure Weigh the Cost Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council Visit the Order of Man store In the meantime, please leave us a rating and review!

Every single one of us has to start somewhere. When we look at the guys at the top, however, it's easy for us to jump to the conclusion that they've always been there. What we fail to see is the years of toil, effort, and struggle that those men at the top endured along the way. Today, I am joined by Sal Frisella, who does a little bit of everything at 1stPhorm from running the organization to sweeping the floors. Today, he's here to talk with us about where he started, how he had to restart along the way, playing the long-game, how to create a culture of winning, and why everyone needs to pay their dues.

Risk is something everyone is exposed to whether you're simply driving to work or jumping out of airplanes and off rocks, like my guest, Trevor Thompson does.

No one ever accused me of being funny but that doesn't mean I don't see the value of humor and comedy in life and in society in general. Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Keith Yackey, who over the past couple of years has transitioned from the corporate stage to the comedy stage. Today we talk about why fear keeps us from doing great things, why we as a society need comedians, the power of instant feedback on our path to growth, and how to be funny and why you should care. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why fear keeps people from doing great things 5 key components to being great at presenting Why hiring a coach is critical to your success How to develop humor in your life even if you're not funny Why hope is the foundation of all progress How comedians are like scientists The power of recording your performances Why stand-up comedy is one of the hardest things on earth to do The incredible power of instant feedback Striking the balance between caring what people think and being yourself How to overcome the fear you experience in life How owning your mess-ups is the best approach to overcoming bombing Why we as a society allow comedians to cross PC lines Why we need to be careful not to fight for our excuses Why every man should incorporate humor into everyday life Decoding "likeability" KEITH YACKEY My guest today is my friend, Keith Yackey. He's been extremely successful in the corporate and event world, building an 8-figure investment firm in just two short years. But the reason I wanted to have him on the podcast is for his more recent endeavors, stand up comedy. It's something that has always been fascinating (and scary) to me so, to watching Keith go from, comedy newcomer to performing in some of the biggest comedy clubs in the world, has been incredible to watch. I hope you enjoy today's conversation with Keith as he shares with us how to become funnier and why it's so important.
