Order of Man

Needless to say, there has been a tremendous amount of turmoil and division in America over the past several years. This isn’t new in the history of the United States but it seems to me that we, as citizens, are more divided than we’ve ever been on a myriad of issues from foreign policy, to COVID restrictions and mandates, to gun legislation and healthcare, and everywhere in between. And, my guest today has a lot to say about these issues and more. And, not ironically, I’m sure people will be very divided on this conversation as well. His name is Representative Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL and Representative for the state of Texas. Today, we discuss the new COVID measures announced by President Biden last week, foreign affairs and the threat of terrorism (including everything happening in Afghanistan right now), why our emotional responses to these issues are getting us into trouble and putting us in danger, and why we all need to be more informed rather than ignorant on the most pressing issues of today.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Discussing the government response to COVID Balancing being empathetic with being rational Why get into politics and how does it change people Thoughts on leaving Afghanistan - what is an acceptable cost? Most people have not known war for 20 years, they have known peace Biden got lucky that the Taliban took over so quickly The proper way to look at healthcare We need more confidence in our arguments   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Increasingly, it seems to be that we’re losing much of the common sense that we, collectively, once possessed. Common sense has been replaced with quick sounds bites, “clapbacks” on social media, and manufactured outraged designed to drive clicks and capture eyeballs and attention.   But my guest today is using his voice, social media, and any other platform available to share his common sense, rational approach to some of the world’s most pressing concerns. His name is Zuby and I know many of you are already very familiar with his work. Today, we talk about the dangers of tribalism, the motives and intentions of our government overlords and elites, how to have real conversations that actually drive change, why empathy is crucial in dialogue, and how to recapture common sense in uncommon times.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   You can only do so much thinking by yourself There are three ways to solve any conflict Effective communication is a super power We’re all susceptible to group think What it means to live in a free society Fear and anxiety shuts down rational thinking The importance of understanding the perspectives of other people Focus the conversation on where we agree, rather than disagree Don’t fall for media propaganda The bias is often hidden in what people “don’t” say Being wrong is different than lying Everybody is a moral monster to someone else   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Gentlemen, I cannot tell you how stoked I am to have my guest on today, Mr. Michael Chandler. If you’re not already familiar with who he is, Chandler is a three-time Bellator MMA Champion who only recently made his debut in the UFC after long-time speculation of him making the switch to UFC. On top of all of that, Michael is a devoted family man and we spent about half of our conversation talking about what it means for him to be a husband and father. We also cover overcoming a very public loss, why every man ought to bet on himself, three traps to avoid when on the losing side of the equation, Chandler’s upcoming fight in November, and the conflicting aspirations of being a family man and fighter.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Being selfish in training so you can be selfless with your family Grinding until we’re 50 Anticipating and avoiding regret The importance of making your partner the best person they can be In relationships, it all comes down to communication Taking chances on yourself What do you do when you fall short Be your authentic self Praying for wisdom and discernment Success not perfection We follow people because they are willing to take chances Fighting for a living, while living a Christian life The importance of having a long term perspective Embracing the process should be the goal   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

Frankly, gents, I don’t even know what to say about this conversation. It was a powerful discussion from a man who has been through hell and back to fight for not only who he is as a man but as a father of his children. His name is Greg Ellis and, although you may not recognize his name, you have definitely seen him on the Silver Screen. Today we talk about the true purpose of vulnerability, why social media should be called “anti-social media,” the crisis of meaning that modern society is facing, and why fatherhood is in the crosshairs.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Using social media as a tool Appreciating art, literature, and sports We are not entitled to success Drawing inspiration from challenge Society devaluing the “male” The importance of an earned merit system Competition versus cooperation The most influential person gets to establish and enforce the rules Don’t count your victory while the game is still being played We have to let kids deal with their own hardship Boys raised with a dad tend to be more purpose driven The value of “empowerment feminism” The inequality of the equality movement We need to challenge moral hypocrisy Getting set for part 2 of the conversation   Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
