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.

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. And, with as much exposure to risk and the inherent dangers that come with it we expose ourselves to, you'd think we'd spend more time considering the risks we're taking and how to mitigate more of it.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS What it means to be an "experience junkie" Why focus is crucial to your success How to face your fear when you're taking big risks How to into extreme sports How to mitigate risk but still enjoy risky activities Learning to respect dangerous activities How habituating decisions causes unforeseen risk How to objectively evaluate your readiness Why mentors and coaches are crucial How the concept of "time dilation" affects your performance What skills do and don't cross over into extreme activities Please leave us a review at https://orderofman.com/itunes Shownotes: https://orderofman.com/205 Website: https://orderofman.com

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.

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.

A couple months ago when I was out in Maine, I had the opportunity to sit down with an absolutely incredible man who went from lying nearly dead on the battlefield of Afghanistan to losing portions of both his arms and legs to now running an organization dedicated to serving and developing injured members of our military.

As many of you know, I have begun to immerse myself more deeply in the world of hunting. I've always been fascinated with the life and mindset of a hunter but never grew up being too exposed to it. Now that I am, my mind has been opened to what it truly means to be not only a hunter but a conservationist as well. Today, I am joined by a man I have been watching for a long time, Mr. Donnie Vincent. He is a film-maker, a conservationist, a hunter, and one of the most trusted voices when it comes to the symbiotic relationship between the hunter and the hunted. We talk about we have not evolved out of hunting, how ignorance around hunting is hurting all of us, how to become better stewards over our resources, and how to become the hunter. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why we should pursue our passions How to become a good steward over our resources The problems with factory farming Why we have not evolved out of hunting Why we need to give back to nature The relationship between the hunter and the hunted The seriousness and gravity of the role of a hunter How ignorance around hunting is hurting all of us How to rectify the odds between hunting and conservation The symbiotic relationship between everything Why we owe it to the animal to become the best hunter possible Why we should not pick sides as a hunter or non-hunter How we can better self-regulate The power of asking serious questions about food sustainability Why education is the core of conversationism DONNIE VINCENT My guest today is Donnie Vincent and he is someone I deeply admire and respect regarding his work with the wilderness. This is a man who has truly immersed himself in the connection with nature and is one of the leading voices and champions of sustainable and ethical hunting. He is a biologist, hunter, explorer, conservationist, sportsman, and filmmaker. But one of his most powerful pursuits from my perspective is that of "storyteller." Donnie creates amazing films documenting his journey into the wilderness, his connection with nature, and the hunts he pursues. If you've ever considered hunting (or already are), following Donnie should be an absolute requirement.

The mind is a powerful thing. It can be used as a tremendous source of good or a tremendous source of destruction in your life. The way you choose to train and use it could, quite literally, be the only thing keeping you from accomplishing your greatest ambitions. Today, I am joined by former Navy SEAL, ultrarunner, endurance athlete, wildland firefighter, and all-around badass, David Goggins. We talk about starring down adversity, using challenges as the fuel to propel yourself forward, the sacrifices you'll need to make to be successful, race issues and political correctness in America, and how you can master your mind and defy the odds. DAVID GOGGINS The man I have the privilege of introducing you to today, David Goggins, truly needs to no introduction. Suffice it to say, David is one of the most insane human beings on the planet and someone I have respected and extremely inspired by over the past couple of years. We've all watched his videos and most of us have read or listened to his latest book but having the opportunity to sit down face to face with him only increased my level of respect for what David has gone through, the odds he's overcome, and the incredible work he's been able to accomplish despite those odds being stacked against him. Gentlemen, set this one on repeat as David and I have one of the most powerful conversations I've ever been part of.

Most men are infatuated with leading others in some capacity. I get it, I believe the capacity and desire to lead is hardwired into our DNA.

Gentlemen, I've got a bit of a different one lined up for you today as I have a conversation with the very first fictional author we've had on the podcast.

Over the past several months, it's likely that you've seen more archery and bow hunting pictures and topics from me. That's because, for the last year, I've really begun to immerse myself in becoming better bow hunter. That said, I've gotten so many requests and questions about archery that I thought it only made sense to bring the best person on I could think of to talk about it.

My guest today, Brian Rose with London Real, has done exactly that by bringing together and discussing ideas with the most interesting people in the world. Today, Brian and I talk about crafting your own story, developing the "X-Factor," how to create a product ecosystem, and how to ultimately build a profitable movement. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How to stop worrying about what other people say and think How to craft your own story How to adapt to change How to develop the x-factor How to overcome the fear that keeps most people back How to make maximum impact in the market How to find a mentor How to level up and evolve who you are How to effectively network to produce results How to monetize a message and market How to transform people How to develop a minimum viable product How to create a product ecosystem Why it's imperative you dissolve your ego Why you should be absolutely obsessed with constant improvement Why you need to change your relationship with money Learning to cope with physical and mental limitations BRIAN ROSE Gentlemen, I'm stoked to introduce you to my guest today, Mr. Brian Rose. He is the founder of London Real and a big source of inspiration and motivation for what we have created here with Order of Man.

"Man up" is a term that is likely to trigger a lot of people in the world today. It's too bad because the term is so misunderstood by society and so powerful when there is a clear understanding of what it actually means. My guest today, Mr. Bedros Keuilian, talks with us about what that means and how to instill the meaning into our boys, how to lead yourself more effectively, assessing and analyzing risk, overcoming bad programming and each and every one of us can more effectively "man up" in our lives. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How to lead yourself more effectively Understanding the power of your "why" How to heal yourself Why small commitments are more significant than the larger ones Why rites of passage are so important for young men The power of decisiveness How to develop clarity of vision How to build a high-performance team Making the "mind-muscle" connection Analyzing and assessing risks Overcoming bad programming Developing mental toughness The power of owning every situation Creating the blueprint for the type of man you want to be Becoming and raising a "Modern Day Knight" The difference between reasons and excuses BEDROS KEUILIAN Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce you to our repeat guest, Bedros Keuilian. I was so blown away with his my first conversation with him and his story that I thought it only made sense to bring him back on considering he just released a new book called, Man Up: How to Cut the Bullshit and Kick Ass in Business (and in Life). Bedros is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and author and one of my favorite people to talk to because of his no-nonsense approach to life. I really think you're going to enjoy this episode because he tells it like it is and says the things most people are thinking but too afraid to say. Guys, get your notepads out and get ready to hear from a man who has come from nothing and turned his into an absolutely incredible life.

Today, I talk about a man's responsibility to be a good steward over himself, his resources, and those he has an obligation for. Too many men today are living the antithesis of a good steward by shirking personal responsibility and accountability in their lives. I also break down 5 keys to being a great steward: - Produce More Than You Consume - Think Generationally - A Title is Not Necessary - Become a Sentinel - Operate From a Sense of Duty and Obligation www.orderofman.com Please leave us a rating and review!

Every once in a while, you meet someone so special you know you need to connect more with that person. Today, I have the opportunity to share my conversation with one of those people, Sidney Smith. I met him briefly at a 5k then spent a couple hours hiking down a mountainside while shooting our bows at the Total Archery Challenge. That doesn't sound that special until you learn that Sid is a double amputee. and does his walking and running on prosthetic blades. We talk about overcoming fear, focusing on the positives of life, learning to appreciate what we have, getting used to pain, and turning tragedy into triumph. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How to develop a growth mindset in the toughest circumstances The difference between being "disabled" and being "challenged" How to learn about who you really are Understanding that the greatest disability you could have is in your mind Overcoming the fear of uncertainty How to make extremely difficult decisions Learning to focus on the positives of life How not to take things in your life for granted The challenges that come with being a double amputee Overcoming how people treat those with disabilities The power of thinking big and giving yourself purpose Pushing past physical and mental pain Learning to cope with physical and mental limitations SIDNEY SMITH A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to participate in the Total Archery Challenge in Northern Utah with my friends at MTN OPS. I met a lot of great people but I had the incredible opportunity to run the course with my guest today, Mr. Sidney Smith. I had only bumped into him one other time but as I spent 3 or so hours walking down a mountain with Sid, a double amputee, I was amazed and humbled at how this man shows up in his life. He's an avid bow hunter, a triathlete, and, as I mentioned before, he's a double amputee. But he doesn't let that keep him from living his life in a big way and inspiring others along the way to do the same.
