I think it’s safe to assume that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re a man who is interested in becoming a more capable man. Unfortunately, the men who have come before us have, in a lot of ways, made it possible for us not to have to step up the way we as men ought to – as “savage servants.”   Today, I am joined by Nick Koumalatsos – a former member of Marine Reconnaissance – to talk about what it means to be a “Savage Servant.” We also discuss physical fitness as the foundation of what it means to be a man, why we must fabricate struggle, positive programming, and personal growth through humility.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   We don’t have to make the mistakes of our parents Gaining vision for your life at a young age Balance between a giving your kids a better life and fabricating challenges Sons generally look like their father Positive programming with your sons We need to put effort into our kids Moving past judgment of others Humility is being a savage servant If you prepare, you are less likely to need it Our foundational anchor is physical fitness and health   The Iron Council opens up for new members December 15.  Sign up here.   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Finding our sense of worth as men can be an extremely daunting task. We’re often led to believe that if we say just the right things, do all the things we should be doing, and achieve the success society has deemed appropriate, we’ll find what we’re looking for.   Unfortunately, many of us are left with a sense of emptiness in spite of our worldly success. My guest today is my good friend Granger Smith. Today, we tackle a conversation we really haven’t had on the podcast as we talk about self-worth, the danger in the “love yourself” message, why cultural Christianity doesn’t cut it, feeling like a fraud, and ultimately finding faith and hope in God.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Do things that are intrinsically meaningful Determining when enough is enough How to take the power away from critics The problem with superficial, cultural Christianity We are only worthy through God Why does suffering exist? We need challenges and hardship to refine us Sometimes “self-help” isn’t enough Always moving forward We need to stop thinking about ourselves first     Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Marriage is one of the most challenging yet rewarding pursuits for a man. Unfortunately, very few of us have ever been taught how to successfully navigate the dynamics between men and women. And, all too often, it leads to headache, heartbreak, and divorce. Today, I’m joined by marriage expert Keith Yackey to talk about these dynamics and how to successfully build a long and thriving marriage. We talk about the ROI (return of intimacy) in marriage, how a man gains his power back after giving it away, the “mommy matrix,” why seeking her validation will backfire, and the 5 dials of a powerhouse marriage.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Thriving in business vs thriving in marriage Five dials that help men measure effectiveness Women want you to be a good parent Women want you to be her partner Women want you to be a producer Women want you to have fun Women want you to do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it Become the guy that any woman would be thrilled to be with   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
