Jack Donovan has been writing and speaking about masculinity, masculine philosophy, and spirituality for over a decade. His foundational book, The Way of Men, has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Polish. Donovan is an occasional speaker and often appears on podcasts to discuss masculinity and the challenges faced by men who want to live masculine lives in the 21st Century. His views are very different from what is becoming the conventional norm. But Jack wants to bring men back to their roots of masculinity. He has explored and embraced how humanity was when we existed in tribes, before cities, states and empires came to be. He acknowledges that while society has changed and evolved, the evolutionary psychology behind masculinity has remained unchanged. Jack is a mentally tough individual who truly does not allow the opinions of others to affect his drive to succeed. Now, hear his take on the Essential 11 questions.

Ryan Michler is bringing men back to their roots of masculinity. Most of his childhood was spent without a permanent father figure. He never learned how to work on his car. He never had the chance to roughhouse with his dad. He didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until he was a freshman in high school. As he talked with other men, he realized that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But he's also seen a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home. And that is why he started Order of Man. Ryan is on a mission to take back what it means to be a man- to learn together from the best men the world has to offer. Ryan does not claim to be an expert. He's learning. And, as he says, the only thing that qualifies him to do this work is that he has a passion for self-improvement. His goal is to take his shortcomings in life and make them his strengths.
