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. MAINE EVENTI'm sure you've heard by now that we've got our Order of Man Maine event taking place on August 10-11, 2019, with an exclusive Iron Council dinner on the 9th.Our entire goal for the event is to teach you the framework for success in your health, wealth, relationships, and life and, of course, introduce you to a network of men who are all achieving big things in their lives.We've been making plans for the event on my property and to say that I'm extremely excited about what we're putting together is a huge understatement.

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. I've been thinking about this for the last six months (since I knew we were moving here) and I'm stoked to get you here. It's going to be held August 10 – 11, 2019 (and an exclusive Iron Council dinner on the 9th) and over the course of two days, I'm going to give you access to the framework and network you need to thrive in your life. We'll have activities designed to push and test you, presentations in each of the four quadrants we cover here in Order of Man, and opportunities to band with other like-minded men who want to achieve big things in their lives as well. We only have 30 spots remaining so, head to www.orderofman.com/maineevent to secure your spot. Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

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. This is a fraternity of men who are all working together to improve their lives, gain new perspectives, get accountability, and the motivation and tools they need to excel. This month inside the Iron Council we're talking about forging and iron-clad mindset, and one of the things we do is bring in guest experts to cover the monthly topic, do some live Q & A with, and learn. On the 28th of this month, June 2019, Commander Mark Divine will be joining our live call to discuss the tools, strategies, and skill-sets of an iron-clad mindset.

Today's discussion is with Pete Roberts & Brian Littlefield from Origin Main. These are two men that I highly admire and respect. We talk about thinking big, how too many men seem to be playing it safe, and so much more. Hit me up on Instagram at @ryanmichler and let me know what you thought about the conversation. 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.

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.

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.

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. And, when you band with us, you know that you are tapping into a band of brothers that will foster the powerful changes you want to see in your life. Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
