I’ve spent a ton of time over the past several weeks really contemplating my performance and how I’m showing up both personally and professionally for my family, friends, and those of you who tune into what we’re doing here with Order of Man. It’s been a lot of time of self-reflection and, as challenging as it can be and has been in the past, it’s been therapeutic and helped me get back on the path I want to travel. And, speaking of therapeutic, my guest today is John Kim, AKA The Angry Therapist. Today, we talk about the differences between liking and loving yourself and which is better to strive for, why we have to be careful of stamping ourselves as failures, how to uncover false beliefs burned in our subconscious, the power of identifying our value systems, and how to move away from the “pseudo self” to the “solid self.”   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Men respond, boys react The value in believing in something greater than yourself Relationships require a lot of work Differing perspectives on “my truth” How we can keep from hitting rock bottom Being authentic vs. being a jerk Defining the meaning of success Outlining common “false beliefs” about ourselves Defining your sense of worth   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

One of the greatest challenges we face as men is finding a like-minded band of brothers we can rely on when needed and we can serve as they need us. In the ease of modernity, we’ve been led to believe we can and have to go at life alone. That just isn’t the case. My guest today is the President of F3 Nation, whom a lot of you are familiar with. His name is Frank Schwartz and he goes by the nickname, “Dark Helmet.” Today, Frank and I talk about the power of fitness, fellowship, and faith in a man’s life, overcoming the feeling of dissatisfaction, becoming a high-impact man, our desperation for love and recognition (yes, even in men), and the positive benefits of engaging in dangerous, dirty, and difficult pursuits.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Helping men find their mission Providing structure to men through fitness Strengthening the relationship with yourself, others, and your creator What the church is supposed to feel like Leading in a decentralized organization The importance of strong yet simple culture What our world presents as true is often wrong   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

You know as well as I do all the cultural dangers ourselves, families, and communities are presented with. And, as much as we’d like to pin it on some politician or outside factor beyond our control, the bigger issue is that the greatest threat is ourselves and our unwillingness to face the challenges that we see. My guest today is Kirk Cameron. He is an actor and is most well-known for his character, Mike Seaver on the 80’s hit sitcom, Growing Pains. Today, Kirk and I talk about what he dubs the “moral meat grinder,” why direction is more important that perfection, the power of divine intervention and guidance, the deconstruction of society, and how to become a man of faith and character.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Being an anomaly in Hollywood Finding God and taking a different path We have good reason to have great faith in God Selecting the right projects Moving from defense to offense in culture One person partnered with God can change history Embracing the unknown risk We need to be conduits that bring heaven to earth We are listening to messages from people who shouldn’t matter to us Leaning into your purpose   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
