Order of Man

Money is villainized by much of the media and society today. It's easy to see why. Only a select few have managed to build a sizable net worth and, the fact remains, that the majority of the population are living a life of anything but wealth and abundance. But, that doesn't have to be the case. In fact, much of what my guest, Cole Hatter, talks about today is the mindset and rules for more abundance in your life. We talk about living a life of significance, what money truly is, the value of capitalism, and, more importantly, how to make money matter in your life and the lives of those you care about.

A Rite of Passage is a tradition that dates back as long as humans have walked this planet but it seems to be less and less common. And, unless a young man plays competitive sports, or participates in Scouting, or joins the military, he just isn't going to be initiated into manhood. In fact, a lack of initiation into manhood has caused a lot of the problems we see with boys never leaving the nest. So, today, I want to share the ins and outs of the Rite of Passage I created for my son and the six key components of any Rite of Passage so you can re-create your own. www.orderofman.com/FFN062 www.orderofman.com

There is no doubt that all of us have been through some difficult challenges in our lives - some more than others. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, disease or illness, bankruptcy, or divorce, your ability to adapt and overcome spells the difference between those who crumble and those who thrive. My guest today, Navy SEAL Joost Janssen, talks with us about enduring and even enjoying pain, the power of deciding early, how to harness tragedy and the negativity of others, how to come back from the darkness, and, more importantly, how to thrive through hardship.

We refer to the "moment of truth" as the moment we actually find out if something is going to work or not. Today, I want to talk with you about the faulty premise in that line of thinking. I realize it's just a phrase but I was having a conversation with my neighbor the other day about a project he was working on and he didn't know if it was going to work until he got to the last step. I do know that sometimes, there's just no way of knowing whether or not something is going to work out or not until we try it but I also know there are a lot of things we can, and should, know ahead of time. I mean, why invest huge amounts of time, energy, money, and other resources into something if you have no idea whether it's going to work out or not? www.orderofman.com/FFN061 www.orderofman.com

If you're anything like me, connecting with you kids can be a real challenge. You know it's important. You want to connect with them. But, the grind of everyday life and providing for your family and wearing all the "hats" we as men are required to wear can come at a cost. Today my guest, Jim Sheils, joins us to talk about why we succeed in business but fail in the family, the entrepreneurial lie, how to create moments with your children, implementing what he calls "rhythms" into your life, and how to finally connect with you kids.

Through thousands of hours of work, reading, and personal observation I've discoverd that there are four domains of manliness that I believe every single man must address in order to become the best possible version of himself. So, I thought it would be a good idea to break down those four domains a bit more and share with you some of what I've learned over the last two years. www.orderofman.com/FFN060 www.orderofman.com

I've never met a man who did not have a dream or, at a minimum, and idea for what his future holds. That said, I've met plenty of men who died with that dream still inside them. There's a lot of reason for this. And, whether it's fear or a lack of understanding what it will take to make your dream a reality, you owe it to yourself and the world to pursue it. My guest today, Dale Partridge, shares with us how to find that passion, how identify problems worth solving, a 3-part formula for creating workable solutions, and how to turn your passion into your profession.

There seems to be a lot of men these days that have either forgotten what it means to be a man in the home or never learned the skills to step up fully as the king of the castle. I look around and I see the pain in men's eyes. And, if it's not pain, it's death. There are millions of men walking around like lifeless, soulless zombies. And, the repercussions of that is at best a meaningless life and, at worst, infidelity issues, addiction to drugs, alcohol, and pornography, and, in many case, verbal, emotional, and physical abuse. While everyone out there is trying to change the world, solve world hunger, bring about world peace, and doing it at a global scale, I'm here to tell you that the way we change the world by equipping men with the tools and skills to lead their own kingdoms. And that means we start by going into the most basic unit in society, the family. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN059 http://www.orderofman.com

The term "personal brand" has become such a buzz word these days but, the fact remains, that the ability to accurate reflect who you are to the world has become more important than it ever has. Whether you're starting a new business, interviewing for a job, vying for a job promotion, or are in the dating scene, understanding personal branding will go a long way towards helping you get what you want. My guest, Kolby Kay, talks about setting yourself apart, the core elements to be aware of, where to start when it comes to building your platform, and how create a strong personal brand.

Let's face it, relationships tend to lose their luster after a while. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that has to be the case. In fact, most relationships and marriages can keep the spark alive for a lifetime, as my guest today points out. Sarah Jones is back by popular demand to teach us how to re-kindle that spark, keep things fresh, add variety into the relationship, how to encourage your partner to try new things, and how to keep the fire alive.

As a member of the CIA annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012, Kris "Tanto" Paronto (@krisparonto) assisted in saving over 20 lives while fighting off terrorists from the CIA Annex for over 13 hours. His story, along with his five surviving annex security team members, is told in the book "13 Hours" written by Mitchell Zuckoff. When you hear the words, "Benghazi, Libya" you might think of that book, and subsequent movie, 13 hours. You might think of the terrorist attack, the death of a US Ambassador Stevens, and the coverup that followed. Today Kris joins me to talk about what really happened that night, the importance of living your life to a code, how to incorporate "Battle Rhythms" into your life, why every man must choose the "hard right" over the "easy wrong", and how we can all live The Ranger Way.

Ted Nugent (@tednugent) has been rocking America for more than 50 years. As a board member for the NRA and a conservative political activist, he has dedicated his life to teaching others and fighting for individual responsibility and personal liberty. As you'll hear today, more and more, individualism and personal liberty, are being frowned upon. It's as if somehow individuality is a threat to the system as a whole. That couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is that men who express their own individuality and personal liberty and responsibility are the men responsible for building their families, innovating new ideas in technology, medicine, and every area of life, and stepping up in their neighborhoods and communities. Today, I have the honor of sharing with you my conversation with the one and only Ted Nugent. We talk about the dangers of political correctness, how to improve your life and happiness through discipline, the deterioration of excellence, and the importance of freedom, liberty, and rugged individualism.

I have now asked over 100 men what it means to be a man. And, I've received over 100 answers. It seems that defining what it means to be a man is a difficult thing to do. But, regardless of what it might mean to be a man, I think it's safe to say that every man has certain roles he will fulfill throughout his lifetime. And, how he executes in each of these roles will define who he is as a man. My guest today, a man that needs no introduction, Brett McKay, joins me to talk about how masculinity has evolved over the past 50-100 years, the soft and hard skills every man should become proficient with, where our views of masculinity come from, and how you can master the six roles of the modern man.

I did a podcast a while back called, Complacency Kills but, when I say, "complexity kills," I'm talking about the exact opposite of complacency and/or doing nothing. I'm talking about doing TOO MUCH. And, more specifically the mistake of pitfall of over-planning and over-complicating every element of your life. I look around and I see so many people offering crazy hacks, tips, tricks, fads, pills, strategies, etc., and most of them are too complex – so complex that no one even implements the strategy in the first place. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN054 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Study after study has shown that most men are dissatisfied with their career in some form or another. And, yet finding new and more meaningful work seems to be more difficult than ever.

It seems that everywhere you look, you'll find someone out there willing to tell you how to live your life. But, what I find fascinating is that not only is everyone out there attempting to dictate your life (probably because they're working to sell you their wares, and gadgets, and gizmos, and whatever…), but I have to question how often we, as men and leaders in our families, our businesses, and our communities attempt to fix other people. Bu, do you truly want to change your life? You truly want to connect with your wife? You truly want your kids to listen to you? You truly want your boss to stop being such a jerk?

The word "wealth" has such a stigma associated with it. And, it seems more and more, those who have managed to acquire any amount of it are demonized by the rest of the world. The reality is, as my guest David Osborn says, is that wealth simply magnifies who you already are. Some of the wealthiest men on the plant have also been the most charitable. And, if you hope to do any good in this world - for you or anyone else - wealth is a requirement.

If you're anything like me, you're a recovering "nice guy", or maybe you still are a "nice guy." A lot of men may hear that and wonder what's wrong with being nice. There's nothing wrong with being nice until it comes at the expense of your own well-being. My guest today, author of the book No More Mr. Nice Guy, Dr. Robert Glover, joins me to talk about the myth of the nice guy, common negative symptoms the nice guy experiences, how to implement the "Healthy Male Rule," and how you can eliminate the nice guy once and for all.

Consistency in all we do is critical to our success. Consistency trumps talent every time. I see a lot of men out there who I would consider "one-pump chumps." These are the guys that go in, swing for the fence, and, if they hit a homerun, they'll stick around. If they strike out, they pull themselves from the game. It's easy to be good for a minute. It's easy to be on your game when the stars are aligned. It's easy to slay it when you're in the zone. But that's not what matters. It doesn't matter because EVERYONE can do it then. What matters is how you handle yourself in adversity. What matters is what you do when things aren't going well. What matters is how you handle yourself when you don't feel like doing it – whatever it is. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN051 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Every single one of us has received a gift in our lives that have made us feel like the most important person on this planet.

My guest today, Author of Giftology John Ruhlin, joins me to talk about how powerful gift giving can be, how to build credibility and influence through the power of appreciation, some important factors to consider when gift-giving, how to avoid it coming across as manipulation, and the art of science of giving gifts.

Money has always been a difficult topic. The reality is that this little green piece of paper we call money has a much greater impact than dollars and cents. It permeates every element of our lives including our sense of worth and all the other emotions money manifests. My guest today, Jeff Rose with Good Financial Cents, joins me to talk about the importance of learning about money from the right people, what to look for in a good financial advisor, how to talk with your kids about money, some basic principles of wealth building, and how you can create financial independence. Jeff Rose Men, I am so honored to introduce someone who, indirectly, has been so instrumental in launching Order of Man. I started following financial advisor, blogger, and author, Jeff Rose, when I started my financial planning practice. In fact, I actually reached out to him to help me launch my online financial business which eventually morphed and changed into what you're listening to now, The Order of Man. He's known for rallying thousands and thousands of people around his money movements including debt movement, life insurance movement, Roth IRA movement, and, most recently, the money uprising movement.

Like it or not, your ability to connect with and relate to other people is such a critical component to your overall success in life. Dealing with your own life is hard enough as it is so adding another human being into the dimension makes it infinitely more challenging. Today my guest, Jordan Harbinger with the Art of Charm, joins me for the second time to talk about adding maximum value to your relationships, establishing boundaries to keep the relationship healthy, the power that comes from diversifying your connections, and how to build more social capital. Jordan Harbinger Jordan Harbinger is a man a lot of you already know. He is back to visit with us for a second time due to popular demand. I've managed to build a good relationship with Jordan over the past two years and, when we connected a couple weeks ago, I jumped at the opportunity to have him back on. He is the host of the top-ranked podcast, The Art of Charm, which again, a lot of you are familiar with and he's someone I really respect when it comes to his craft and he's been extremely influential both directly and indirectly in helping me deliver the message of Order of Man to you. I will tell you this one starts off a little unique because, as Jordan and I were having a conversation prior to "officially" starting the interview, I just hit record since what he was talking about provides a really good example of how not to build relationships.

My guest today, New York Times Best Selling Author Ben Greenfield, shares with us how to carve out the time for our health, what key metrics we should be tracking, a powerful mindset each of us can implement, and how to take a more practical approach to controlling your health. Ben Greenfield Gentlemen, I'm stoked to introduce my guest to you today, Mr. Ben Greenfield. Ben is a beast when it comes to the physical events that he's participated in. I ran across him and his work as I've done my own obstacle course and endurance event and I can tell you that this is a man who puts his money where his mouth is. He is a New York Times Bestselling Author but, as you'll hear in this interview he's also someone who's willing to do as much as he talks about others doing. He considers himself to be a Guinea Pig when it comes to health, nutrition, sleep, and fitness - you'll hear about some of his experimentations in this conversation.

In general, I think it would be safe to assume that we, as a people have become weak. The average man or woman seems more likely to face obesity, autoimmune disease, and an overall reduction in happiness and fulfillment. As we continue to seek a life of ease and comfort, it is becoming painfully obvious that our quest for perpetual comfort might be the very thing that will kill us. My guest today, New York Times Bestselling author, Scott Carney, share with us how to introduce environmental stressors, how to build up more resilience, and the strategies he uses for making himself a stronger human being. Scott Carney Men, I am honored to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Carney. I came across Scott's work while connecting with another podcast Alumni, Scott Keneally. He recently wrote a book titled, What Doesn't Kill Us, and, as I read the premise of the book which is how Scott used Wim Hof's methods to improve his level of health, I knew he was someone I needed to have on the show. What I like most about Scott's work is that he is an investigative journalist who set out to expose Wim Hof as a fraud. He talks about that and how, rather than exposing Wim Hof, he ended up reaping the benefits of his work to lose weight, and build up resiliency using environmental training. In the meantime, he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in shorts and completed the Tough Guy, one of the world's most difficult - and coldest - obstacle course races in the world.

It all starts with the mind. We've all heard the adage – it's nothing new. But, the question remains, how do we do it. Most of us have constructed mental walls, barriers, and frames of reference that keep us thinking and behaving the way we always have. Today my guest, Tom Bilyeu co-founder or Quest Nutrition and founder of Impact Theory, shares with why it's so difficult to change your mindset, how and why we should learn to cultivate our identity, how to crystalize our goals, and how to get our mindset primed for success. Tom Bilyeu My guest today is a man who probably doesn't need a lot of introduction with most of you but I'm going to anyways because I think it's important you know a little bit about the position of experience and success he comes from. His name is Tom Bilyeu and for those who may not know it, he co-founded Quest Nutrition which was, at one point, one of the fastest growing companies in the world. Since then he's gone on to start multiple other business, one of which is Impact Theory which is how I stumbled across his work. He's interviewed some incredible guests: Jason Silva, Tim Ferris, Shaun White, and Michael Strahan, among others. But, what really intrigued me about Tom's work is his fascination with the mind and how getting the mind and body to work together is the key to success. We've talked a lot about mindset on the show but Tom is here to crystalize it a bit further for us and help us take the first steps towards getting this mindset piece right.

Whether you're dealing with an active-shooter, a natural disaster, or a medical emergency, your likelihood of having to think on your feet will likely become a reality. And, as my guest, Navy SEAL Clint Emerson says, "the wrong place at the wrong time has now become any place at any time." Today he shares some common survival threats, the importance of self-rescue and self-reliance, the four D's of home defense, and how to develop your own threat personal protocol on this, our 100th interview episode. Clint Emerson Gentlemen, I am honored to be introducing you to my guest today, Navy SEAL and New York Times Bestselling author, Clint Emerson. This marks the second time Clint will be on our show and, since our first conversation was such a hit, I thought I'd invite Clint back on the show to talk about his latest book, 100 Deadly Survival Skills: Survival Edition. As a said before, Clint served as a Navy SEAL for twenty years including an attachment to SEAL Team Six and the NSA so you know he's qualified to talk about some of the information we get into today. Clint also runs his company, Escape the Wolf, which is geared towards helping businesses deal with crisis. In fact, he and his team also ran some security training and consulting for President Trump's inauguration. Guys, you're really going to enjoy what Clint has to share and walk away with some very actionable strategies you can use should you find yourself in a crisis situation.

Entrepreneurship is such a hot topic right now. In fact, it's a buzz word that gets tossed around quite carelessly but it's something every man should, at least, consider. Not only does entrepreneurship provide opportunities for additional income, but there are tons of other benefits as well. Today, Josh Bauerle - the CPA on fire - joins me to talk about what those benefits are, the common pitfalls and mistakes young entrepreneurs make, where anyone considering launching a business should start, and why every man should consider building a business on the side. Josh Bauerle Gentlemen, I am honored to be introducing you to my friend and guest today, Mr. Josh Bauerle, the CPA on Fire. I'll be honest with you, I was a little hesitant to bring a CPA on the show because they're notorious for being a little dry to say the least. But you're going to hear in a minute that Josh is anything but dry and has a passion for helping entrepreneurs start, grow, and maximize their business through some very simple yet effective strategies. In fact, some of the strategies he shares in this interview allowed him to start his own busines in 2012 and team up with some podcasting powerhouses like John Lee Dumas with Entrepreneur on Fire. You're going to get a ton from this interview because we don't just talk theory and tax code, we talk about real tips, tactics, and tricks you can use to reap all the benefits of starting your own business.

Stress is something all of us, as men, deal with on a daily basis. And, unless you can find a way to manage the stress effectively, you just won't be able to show up in the way others are relying on you to do. Firefighter, John Spera with Fit to Fight Fire, joins me to talk about it takes to handle yourself in stressful situations, how to get better at adapting, something he calls belief filtering, and how to build up emotional, mental, and physical resiliency. John Spera I am so honored to by interview my friend and someone I've followed for a long time, firefighter John Spera. As I said, he's someone I've been following for some time now and I have been blown away by his work ethic and his ability to lead others especially under stressful situations. I know we have a lot of men here who listen to this show as firefighters, military members, and other first responders. I've got to say that I respect you and anyone who steps into the line of fire, literally in the case of my guest today. He is a firefighter and paramedic in Aurora, CO and his team was tasked with responding to the Aurora theater shooting in 2012. He's going to talk with us a little bit about that experience and the drive he has to be the best he can be - which you'll hear in his voice when he says, "The level of our training will make the difference between life and death for others."

I had the chance to meet Cameron Hanes, an Under Armor athlete and avid bow hunter, Tony Sentmanat with Real World Tactical, Neal Curry with Ready Gunner, UFC Fighter, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. These guys are all masters of their craft and I can tell you the one thing that separates them from the rest of the pack – it's the one thing that separates all successful men from the rest. That is the ability to take action. The ability to execute. The ability and desire even to get their hands dirty. And, I want to come straight out and ask you, are you willing to execute? Are you willing to get your hands dirty? Are you willing to step into the ring? http://www.orderofman.com/FFN040 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Style, although it is so often overlooked, really is a critical component of helping you become a better man. More often that not, the way you look and the way you show up says a lot to other people about who you are. My guest today, Antonio Centeno with Real Men, Real Style, shares with us how important style is, the benefits of improving the way you look, what core components you should consider when improving your wardrobe, and how you can become a man of style. Antonio Centeno I initially came across Antonio's work with Real Men, Real Style as I was considering launching Order of Man in early 2015. And since then, I've been able to build a relationship and friendship with him. This man knows a ton about style and fashion – and not just clothing – but the psychology of increasing your style, body language, manners and mannerisms, and just about anything else that will help you increase your overall presence in the world. He is the founder of Real Men, Real Style, like I previously mentioned, and has over 1,000,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. We talk about it a little in the show but he's got over 700 vidoes there and literally thousands of articles, videos, and courses that will help you understand how clothing fits into the conversation of masculinity. He is also the co-founder of Men's StyleCon along with Aaron Marino with I Am Alpha M. We do talk a little about that during the show but it is definitely something you should consider attending if you really want to become a man of style.

As you men know by now, leadership lies at the core of what it means to be a man. We've all had great leaders. We've all had horrible leaders. My guest today, David Burkus, talks with us about what it means to be a leader, how to align your vision with others, how to be more influential, and how to make an impact in the lives of those who matter most. David Burkus David Burkus is a someone I came across as I was looking for successful men to come on the show and, you're going to hear in the podcast today, that I connected with someone who is incredibly qualified to speak with us on the subject of leadership. He's an author. He's a podcaster. And, he's also an associate professor of management at Oral Roberts University. He wrote a book I really enjoyed titled, Under New Management, where he challenges the traditional vision of business management and proves they're outdated and just don't work. He gets into that a little in the show today. He's also a speaker. He's worked Fortune 500 companies and the Naval Academy and contributes to Business Review and Inc. Today he's here to talk with us about management, leadership, and how to cast your vision and make an impact.

We've got a pretty thriving Facebook Community and one of the underlying themes I see quite a bit there is setbacks, struggles, trials, adversity, and obstacles. And, more importantly, questions about how to overcome these "expected unexpecteds" in life. This is going to be tough because, obviously, I cannot go through every scenario in which you find yourself on a daily basis in the next eight minutes but, what I can do, is give you a three-part formula that I've used in my time here on this spinning rock that has helped me overcome some major hurdles – hurdles that many of you have experiences or are in the middle of right now. I've been fat, I've been broke, I've been depressed, I've had failing businesses, I almost lost my marriage at one point and, I can tell you that this simple strategy, although it's not easy, can help you overcome just about any challenge you may find yourself in. But, before I share the formula with you, I need you to understand something: you are responsible for what you do with your life. No one else – you! Yes, you can have friends. Yes, you can have mentors. Yes, you can have a support group or a team. But, at the end of the day and regardless of their effort and help and resources, it is up to you to build the life you want. And that means that, at times, you are going to have to face some things alone. You're going to have to stare down whatever trial you have to and figure out a way to go around, over, under, and through that things that might have you pinned down. No one can or will do it for you. Now, that you know it is up to you, let's talk about this. My formula for overcoming any setback is simply REGROUP, RECALIBRATE, AND RE-ENGAGE. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN038 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes
