Order of Man

With the proliferation of political and cultural ideologies increasingly permeating many of our favorite companies and brands, it’s becoming difficult to justify spending our hard-earned dollars on companies that do not align with our values and actively work against them. But you know as well as I do, boycotting only goes so far and, as soon as the excitement and fervor against these companies wear off, most people go back to spending their money on Budweiser, Disney, Gillette, and Netflix to name a few. My guests today, Nicky Billou and Wayne Allyn Root make the case that not only should people boycott these organizations but create alternatives to compete with these companies and hit them where it hurts – their wallet. Today, we talk about racism and the flawed idea of “reverse racism,” something they call, the “Freedom Scale,” for evaluating organizations that align with conservative values, the line between liberalism and leftism, and the power of parallel economies.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   “Reverse racism” is just “racism” We can no longer not stand up Are we just preaching to the choir Understanding the concept of a “national divorce” Liberal democrat cities are falling apart Building a parallel economy Chinese interference in elections Breaking down the “Freedom Scale” Companies caving to liberal pressure   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

We all have standards but for most of us, our standards aren’t where they should be and/or they’re not the type of standards that will lead us toward becoming the type of men we have desire to be. And, yet, each and every day, we operate by these standards most of which is subconscious.   My guest today is an incredible performance coach and while that term gets tossed around a lot these days, Ben Newman is the real deal. In fact, he coaches many Fortune 500 companies, is one of the top 50 public speakers in the world, and has helped lead many college and professional athletes to multiple championships. Today, Ben and I talk about why it’s important you know you’re setting an example to people, how to find what he calls, your “burn,” grabbing your future and bringing it into today, why “your why” is not enough, how to avoid being seduced by success, and, ultimately, how to elevate your standard.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Why do we make excuses? We tend to overlook the simple things Be your best one day at a time The importance of coaching You have to do the work if you want to see change The way you do one thing is the way you do everything Be prepared to attack the process Don’t be seduced by success Identifying the right standards Become disciplined, even when you cheat   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Every single one of us has genius inside of us – some lying dormant for years and even decades. And, with our greatest potential trapped deep beneath the surface of our day-to-day lives, we live as Thoreau famously said, “quiet lives of desperation.” I know from personal experience how difficult and deflating that can be. My guest today, former rocket scientist and law professor, Ozan Varol, is on the podcast today to talk about how to unlock and awaken the genius buried deep within ourselves. We also talk about the power of going what he refers to as “off-menu,” finding more awe in our lives, the death or our former selves and the birth of a new man, why we all need to exercise a bit more skeptical curiosity, and how to become extraordinary men.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Leaving a tenured position in academia If you don’t like the available options, create a new one Know when its time to change course Most people don’t know what they want What served us well in the past won’t necessarily serve us well in the future Don’t get stuck in the self-reflection process Learning from failures Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s end The importance of your inner journey Identifying what makes you unique   For more information on the Iron Council brotherhood.   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

You already know everything you need to know to achieve your wildest dreams, or at least get on the path to making them a reality. The only question that remains is whether or not you’ll do it. And, that’s a question that has been plaguing millions of men for a very long time – “Will I do what is required to achieve my desires?” My guest today, former NBA player and current NBA mindset coach, David Nurse, has made a life out of teaching elite-level athletes, execs, and high-achievers how to move from knowing to doing. Today, David and I talk about hidden roadblocks that keep us from success, the 9 different action archetypes and how to move past what keeps you back, the formula for your own success mission, finding intrinsic value in the work you do, why he considers, “the masses to be the asses,” how to use negative thoughts to your advantage, and the life-changing power of taking action.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Where to start on the path to taking action We live in an excuse laden society Uncertainty is an opportunity Find your niche to stand out Focus on the process, not the result How does one become “driven” Being content AND ambitious Alignment with God We take care of the things we value Being comfortable in your own skin   For more information on the Iron Council brotherhood.   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
