Ep 197FFN 070: Should've, Could've, Would've
Most men seem to be living in the past. They live with guilt, remorse, sorrow, and regret. What a shame that is because if they'd only realize that their past experiences don't define who they are, I think we'd see a lot more men stepping up to the responsibilities they have today. Today, I want to share with you four steps I've incorporated in my life so that I live in the present moment. Yes, I learn from my experiences and reflect on the past but, only as a means to get better today, not to sit around feeling sorry for myself. www.orderofman.com/FFN070 www.orderofman.com

Ep 196127: How to Market Yourself | Noah Kagan
EWhether you own a business or you're working your way up the corporate ladder, learning how to more effectively market yourself is a critical. This one is a little different guys as you'll listen in on the conversation I have with my friend, Noah Kagan. We talk about business, side hustles, living from your purpose, and I even get into a small discussion about my religion. But, the underlying theme to the conversation we have today is how to more effectively market yourself. NOAH KAGAN Gentlemen, my guest today is Noah Kagan. Some of you will recognize the name, others will not. But, if you run a website in some form or another, I'm sure that you're already using the tools he created for your business. He is the founder of AppSumo and Sumo. He was employee #30 at Facebook and #4 at Mint (if you want to read some interesting stories, look into how he separated from each of those companies). In other words, the guy knows what he's doing, he knows how to market himself, and he knows how to do things on a large scale. Today, he's here to talk about marketing ourselves.

Ep 195FFN 069: Turning Darkness Into Light
This podcast is a replay of my presentation at The Meltdown in the Desert. In it I talk about the dark catalyst for change in my life and the rock-bottom foundation for my growth as a man. Without this darkness, you would not be listening to or be part of The Order of Man. www.orderofman.com/FFN069 www.orderofman.com

Ep 194126: 7 Principles of Total Focus | Navy SEAL Brandon Webb
EWe are constantly bombarded by stimulus and, more than any other time in history, the ability to focus is becoming increasingly difficult. Focus, however, sits at the top of a list of virtues and abilities every man needs to develop if he hopes to experience any level of success in his life. My guest today, Navy SEAL Brandon Webb, joins me to talk about how to make better decisions under pressure, the power of self-talk and visualization, how to become more effective at "violence of action," and the 7 principles for total focus. BRANDON WEBB My guest today is Navy SEAL Sniper and New York Times Bestselling Author, Brandon Webb. I'm absolutely blown away by the caliber of man this guy is. He spent 13 years with the Navy SEALs and was instrumental in redesigning the Sniper SEAL Training program which trained members such as Chris Kyle and some of the deadliest snipers in US military history. Upon leaving, Brandon went on to found SOFREP.com and Hurricane Media which is one of the largest media organizations that focus on news and information for the special forces community. When he's not doing all of that, he is an experimental test pilot. As you can see, the man and his resume is impressive. And, you'll get the chance to hear exactly what I mean today in my conversation with Brandon Webb.

Ep 193FFN 068: Improving Intuition
Intuition. It's the ability to understand or recognize something about a situation or circumstance without having to analyze or break down the facts about that particular situation. It is so critical that we, as men, learn how to hone our sense of intuition and improve our ability to listen to this little voice – however you choose to define it. So today, as I was thinking about what I wanted to address, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about why it's important we improve our intuition and a couple quick and easy steps each and every one of us can employ to make our intuition work better. www.orderofman.com/FFN068 www.orderofman.com

Ep 192125: Enhancing Your Mind | Jim Kwik
It all starts in the mind. Whether you're trying get into better shape, grow your bank account, start a business, become a better father, or a better man in general, growing and expanding your mind is the first step. But, it's often one of the most overlooked muscles we use. My guest today, Learning Expert Jim Kwik joins me to talk about how to turn on your superhero brain, avoid information overload, cut through he noise and become more focused, and how to enhance the most powerful muscle we have - the mind. JIM KWIK My guest today is Jim Kwik. He is an expert is speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and accelerated learning. I came across his work a couple months ago and, after following him for the last couple months, and really digging into the results he is creating, I knew I needed to have him on the show. I talk about improving the mind a lot but I wanted to have an expert on to share some of his insights and secrets. The man is extremely qualified to talk about this (you'll hear that in our powerful conversation today) and, if you aren't convinced yet, please understand that Jim is hired by big, big companies like Virgin, Nike, Zappos, SpaceX, Fox Studios, and some of the most powerful people on the planet like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, and Steven Spielberg to name a few.

Ep 191FFN 067: Dealing with Depression
Depression. It's very real. It's very common. It's very destructive. We all know someone who is going through a bout with depression, and, we might even know someone who has contemplated or attempted suicide. Suicide rates are on the rise among men. In fact, as I was researching this morning, I found that some studies have shown that suicide rates among men are more than 3.5 times that of women. I don't know why that it is and, unfortunately, I cannot get into all the causes that may lead to what a lot of men seem to be experiencing these days but, what I would like to do is give you five strategies I've personally used to overcome getting down on myself and falling into a bout with depression. www.orderofman.com/FFN067 www.orderofman.com

Ep 190124: Starting Strength | Matt Reynolds
There are a lot of tasks we're called to do as men. Among other things, your physical strength will make the difference between your ability to accomplish those tasks or not. My guest today is Matt Reynolds, the founder of Starting Strength Online Coaching and a man who has nearly 20 years of experience competing in strength sports and coaching barbell-based strength and conditioning. He has not only created one of the premier online coaching services on the planet, he is my personal coach.

Ep 189FFN 066: Building a Business
I want to talk with you about building a business and the power of entrepreneurship. I know that word is a buzz-word these days but that's because there is so much good that comes from this capitalistic society in which we live and the ability that each and every one of us have to think of an idea and, more importantly, MAKE it come to life. www.orderofman.com/FFN066 www.orderofman.com

Ep 188123: Left of Bang | Patrick Van Horne
Gentlemen, we all know the world can be a dangerous place. Some would argue it's becoming safer and others would argue it's becoming more dangerous. Either way, the potential for you encountering a threat in your day-to-day life is a real possibility - and one that we, as men, should be prepared for. My guest today, Patrick Van Horne and the author of Left of Bang teaches us how to use non-verbal communication to assess threats, the common physical language all humans use, how to use "combat profiling" to keep yourself and others safe, and how the Marine Corps' Combat Hunter Program could safe your life. PATRICK VAN HORNE Men, I am stoked to introduce you to my guest today. His name is Patrick Van Horne. He is a former infantry Captain with the United States Marine Corps and has been instrumental in helping develop and teach the Marine Corps Combat Hunter Program to his fellow marines, military, law enforcement officers, and civilians. His book, Left of Bang, has been recommended to me over and over again and, a couple months ago, I finally picked up a copy. I think read it in two days - I could not put it down. Since it was one of the best books I've read this year, I decided to reach out and extend an invite to have Patrick on the show. Guys, let me tell you, he does not disappoint, as he talks about how he helped implement, develop, and train this course to his Marines during his two deployments to Iraq and, more recently his work with his behavioral analysis training company, The CP Journal.

Ep 187FFN 065: Should I focus on Strengths or Weaknesses?
Today, I answer your questions. We talk about the most influential books I've read, my favorite quote, my personal strengths, whether or not it's better to focus on strengths and weaknesses, and a whole lot more.

Ep 186122: View From the Top | Aaron Walker
We all know the best view is at the top but, the reality is that it's often the most difficult to get to. In other words, the view is earned. But, how often have we expected the view without the effort? My guest today - and his second time on our show - is Aaron Walker, the author of View From the Top. Today we talk about the struggles of life, how to life a significant life, establishing boundaries and creating margin, and how to get that view from the top.

Ep 185FFN 064: The Power of Red Teaming
Opposition is so important that there's an entire strategy designed to use opposition to your advantage. It's called "Red Teaming," and the basic idea is that you build a team whose sole purpose is to challenge what it is you're doing. Today, I talk about why we, as men, shouldn't run away from opposition but embrace it. www.orderofman.com/FFN064 www.orderofman.com/FFN064 www.orderofman.com

Ep 184121: No Excuses, No Barriers | Erik Weihenmayer
So many of us are so good at making excuses. We've been doing it for so long, it's hard for us to recognize what is truth and what stories we tell ourselves that keep us from having what we truly want. Today, my guest, Erik Weihenmayer, talks with me about climbing the seven tallest peaks on each of the seven continents and kayaking 277 miles down the Colorado River. Oh yeah, did I mention he's blind? Today, we talk about identifying barriers, attracting great people in your life, using the concept of alchemy as a powerful tool in your life, and how to crush your excuses once and for all.

Ep 183FFN 063: Who's Got Your Six?
A Battle Buddy, for those of you who are not familiar, is a member of your unit who is there to cover your six. He's there to ensure you're doing the right things, training as hard as you can, and covering your blind spots so you don't do anything dumb – like get yourself killed. It's a concept we used on the battle field. It's a concept used on the football field when you consider the blindside tackle whose job is to protect the quarterback at all costs. It's a concept that is used in every facet of life. www.orderofman.com/FFN063 www.orderofman.com

Ep 182120: Making Money Matter | Cole Hatter
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.

Ep 181FFN 062: Building a Rite of Passage
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

Ep 180119: Back From the Darkness | Navy SEAL Joost Janssen
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.

Ep 179FFN 061: The Moment of Truth
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

Ep 178118: Connecting With Your Kids | Jim Sheils
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.

Ep 177FFN 060: 4 Domains of Manliness
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

Ep 176117: Turning Your Passion Into Your Profession | Dale Partridge
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.

Ep 175FFN 059: The King of Your Castle
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

Ep 174116: Building a Personal Brand | Kolby Kay
EThe 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.

Ep 173FFN 058: Keeping Field Notes
Whether you use official Field Notes or another journal, notepad, or an app, tracking and journaling your thoughts is a critical excercise for effectiveness and efficiency. Here's why it's important you do and some tips for journaling your ideas. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN058 http://www.orderofman.com

Ep 172115: Keeping the Fire Alive | Sarah Jones
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.

Ep 171FFN 057: Strikeout Swinging
There's only one thing worse than a strikeout - striking out looking. And yet, most of us continue to let opportunities pass us by without taking a hack at them because we're either unprepared or afraid. Never strikeout looking. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN057 http://www.orderofman.com

Ep 170114: The Ranger Way | Kris "Tanto" Paronto
EAs 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.

Ep 169FFN 056: How Bad Do You Want It?
You are a liar. I am a liar. Everytime we fabricate an excuse, we keep ourselves from doing the work required to succeed. And, if you aren't willing to tell yourself the truth, you don't want it bad enough. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN056 http://www.orderofman.com

Ep 168113: Ted Nugent | Freedom, Liberty, and Rugged Individualism
ETed 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.

Ep 167FFN 055: Feel the Fear
I heard the phrase earlier in the week, FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Well, I'm here to tell you that's total B.S. Fear is real! And, in the next 8 minutes, I'm going to prove it to you and tell you why you should embrace fear rather than run from it. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN055 http://www.orderofman.com

Ep 166112: Brett McKay | Six Roles of the Modern Man
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.

Ep 165FFN 054: Complexity Kills
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

Ep 164111: Upgrading Your Career | Kevin Kermes
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. My guest today, Kevin Kermes, talks with us about why that is, how you can make your current position more meaningful, make more money, stand out in a crowded marketplace, and how you can upgrade your career to one you love.

Ep 163FFN 053: Fix Yourself First
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? Here's how you do it: STOP FOCUSING ON THEM. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN053 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes
Ep 162110: Your Wealth Can't Wait | David Osborn
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.

Ep 160109: No More Mr. Nice Guy | Dr. Robert Glover
EIf 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.

Ep 159FFN 051: Consistency Trumps Talent
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
Ep 158108: Boosting Testosterone Naturally | Nicholas Bayerle
I get a lot of requests and a lot of questions about the importance of healthy levels of testosterone in men. Unfortunately, we're beginning to see studies that show testosterone levels among men are at an all-time low and show no signs of improving anytime soon. My guest today, Nicholas Bayerle, joins me to talk about the role testosterone plays in men, why we're experiencing a decline in testosterone levels, the effects of low testosterone, and how to safely and naturally boost your testosterone levels.

Ep 157FFN 050: At The Ready
Being "At The Ready" is about being prepared for whatever life may have to throw at you. It's about taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. It's about creating more opportunities because you are ready for those opportunities in every way, shape, and form. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN050 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Ep 156107: The Art and Science of Giving Gifts | John Ruhlin
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. Knowing that, it's easy to see how giving gifts to others will make the feel. But, how often do we tap into the power of gratitude, appreciation, and gift-giving. 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.

Ep 152105: Creating Financial Independence | Jeff Rose
EMoney 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. Today Jeff gets real practical with us about how he learned about money and a few of his 12 principles/rules to building more wealth in your life.

Ep 150104: Building Social Capital | Jordan Harbinger
ELike 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. In a way, you'll get to listen in on our conversation as friends. Enjoy it guys!

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.
