It’s been said that there isn’t a whole lot of new information under the sun, just new ways of saying it. I don’t know if that’s necessarily true but one thing I know is that my guest today shares some of the most practical and life-transforming messages out there. And, he does it in a way that cuts through the noise and nonsense of modern times. His name is Dewayne Noel and he is the founder of Dry Creek Wrangler School. Today, Dewayne and I talk about the power of genuineness, building yourself into a person you like, not hate, why the “right to be wrong” is so powerful and liberating, dealing with insecurities, operating in reality, the concept of “cowboy energy,” and other timeless wisdom in disturbing times.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Why a simple, timeless message resonates so strongly Sometimes you have to change how you are sharing the message in order to be effective Change starts with us We have to get to the point where we like ourselves Cost/benefit analysis of relationships in our life Loyalty is not a one-way street Staying loyal to the “idea” of a relationship can be destructive The market determines what is valuable Rodeo energy vs. cowboy energy   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

As men, we’re hardwired to look for problems we see with the environment around us. Unfortunately, too few of us are willing to take the next step and do something about the issues we identify. My guest today is not that kind of man. His name is Ian Wendt and he’s taking a stand against some of the most polarizing social issues of the day. Today, Ian and I talk about overcoming the opinions of others, when to compromise and when not to, how excellence is the ultimate rebellion, how a man ought to show up in his community, and, ultimately, becoming a man of conviction.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Why talk about cultural and societal issues Who is trying to divide us? The ultimate agenda of evil is to take away freedom I’ll respect your freedom, you respect mine Have we compromised too much?
