BEDROS KEUILIAN | Be a Man, Be The Man
In popular culture, it’s increasingly frowned upon to utter the phrases, “man up,” or “be a man.” It’s easy to misconstrue what those terms mean and convenient to dismiss them as some sort of misguided sense of masculinity. Without context, anything can be painted as negative or “toxic.” With context, however, we can see how powerful those statements can be. My guest and friend, Bedros Keuilian, is back on the podcast to dissect what those phrases mean and teach us how we can incorporate solid principles in our lives and in the lives of the young men looking to us for an example. We talk about the value of harvesting your own provisions, why brutally honest feedback is crucial to your success, losing and regaining your sense of purpose, and our responsibility to the generations of men who will follow in our footsteps. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Fit Body Bootcamp Squire Program Multiple income streams Donating to the Shiners Seeking fulfillment Feeling like an imposter Being crippled by convenience Valuing what you harvest The responsibility of parents How you show up matters Figuring out the needs of people Receiving brutally honest feedback Why consequences matter The lack of commitment Turning off social media The “outraged” economy The loss of balance Losing your sense of purpose Becoming a role model BEDROS KEUILIAN Gentlemen, I have been looking forward to having Bedros Keuilian join us again on the podcast. I met Bedros years ago and I’m honored to call him a mentor and friend. I was fortunate enough to have him invite me to speak at one of his programs a couple of weeks ago and, although you may know him for founding and running one of the largest fitness franchises in the world, you may not know about his programs for men and for young men. These are transformation events and I’m honored to have played just a very small part in what this incredible man is doing in the lives of the men and young men who attend his events. Bedros is an author, entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host of Empire Podcast, and an absolutely incredible man, friend, and mentor. CRAFTING THE PERFECT DAY I’m a huge believer that the way you tee yourself up for the day will determine your results for the day. And, as you compound enough of those powerful days together, you will undoubtedly win. That said, there are a lot of men (you might be one of them) who don’t know how to craft the day from the minute they wake up to the minute their heads hit the pillow at night for maximum productivity and efficiency. That’s why, for the month of February, we’re talking about this exact topic inside our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council. We’re going to be talking about starting the day right, tools and systems for eliminating distractions, recapping your day so you don’t lose momentum each night, and so much more. So, if you want the tools, systems, and accountability to make each day your best and, more importantly, create the success that follows, join us inside the Iron Council at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

STEVEN KOTLER | Making the Impossible Possible
I know that you have lofty and ambitious goals. I do too. I also know that, sometimes, the objectives we desire may seem out of reach, if not impossible. There is a myriad of reasons we may feel this way but regardless of the reasons, they hinder our realized potential. Today, I am joined by a man who has not only studied making the impossible achievable, he’s spent his life immersed and surrounded by the men who are doing it. His name is Steven Kotler and he is the author of The Art of Impossible. Today we talk about why achievement is an art, not a science, how to develop and trigger your “flow state,” why everyone is wired for peak performance, the power of novelty, and how to create the impossible. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The peak performance mind Conducting your own experiment Crawl, walk, run The flow source code Reframing pleasure Flow hacking Multi-tool solutions Keeping promises The Bannister Effect Quality matters Cognitive load Building routine Double motivation STEVEN KOTLER My guest today is Steven Kotler. I have literally been working on getting him to join us on the podcast for years and today, that becomes a reality. If you’re not familiar with Steven, he is the author of his latest book, The Art of Impossible, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, and ten other books. He’s an award-winning journalist and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He’s been featured in the Wall Street Journal, TIME, and The Harvard Business Review. He’s an extremely fascinating individual and extremely intelligent. Gents, I think you’re going to enjoy this one. THE IRON COUNCIL Gentlemen, I don’t think it’s any surprise to you that we’ve started to see a huge crackdown of sorts by the technology giants on anyone who doesn’t toe the line with what is acceptable in the Doctrine of Popular Culture. And, if you’ve been following us for any amount of time, you know that we talk about – the restoration of masculinity – isn’t a favorite subject of theirs. With all that said, we’ve created a closed-frame brotherhood of like-minded men where not only can we have the real conversations that need to be had, but we can also challenge either other necessary to do the self-work required to lead ourselves and our families well. If you’re interested in banding with other men who believe the way you do and are actively working to make themselves better in all ways, join us inside the Iron Council.

HUMBLE THE POET | Levelheadedness in Turbulent Times
As you’re well aware, we live in some very chaotic times of doubt, fear, uncertainty, speculation, and distrust. Unfortunately, times like these lead to irresponsible and overly-emotional reactions which often undermine our very goals and desires. Today, I am joined by a friend of mine, Humble the Poet to talk about how to keep calm, cool, and collected when faced with the uncertainties of life. We discuss how to self-regulate, the ability to communicate complex ideas simply, becoming a student of the game of life, affording others grace, why fear is unsustainable, and keeping yourself levelheaded in turbulent times. SHOW NOTES Constant criticism Social antidote Fringe arguments Cultural differences Seeds of distrust The value of life Picking our battle A silver lining Personal responsibility Guilt and shame The exchange of ideas Don’t lose respect to gain attention. The attention economy Structured belief Being creative Impacting your community Being exceptional HUMBLE THE POET My guest today is the interesting and unique, Humble the Poet. I had the opportunity to meet Humble when our mutual friend, Steve Weatherford, invited us on a Wim Hof retreat and I was immediately drawn to his collected demeanor and fascinating way of looking at life. He is a former school teacher turned creative. He’s an author, hip-hop artist, speaker, designer, filmmaker, and a creative consultant for some incredible businesses and movements, including Apple, Warner Bros, and Nike. I think you guys are going to be drawn to Humble as I was. And, I was really grateful we had the opportunity to discuss these topics as he caused me to look at things in a way I hadn’t recognized before. IMPOSTER SYNDROME Imposter syndrome – the sense of feeling inferior, inadequate, and unworthy of a particular pursuit – is something that a lot of men deal with. In many ways, I personally dealt with Imposter Syndrome as I started this movement six years ago. This month, inside of our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, this is exactly what we’re talking about and working to overcome. We’ve been discussing the concept, strategies, and tactics for overcoming feeling like a fraud, and actively working on bridging the gap between who we currently are and who we have a desire to become. If this is something that you’ve dealt with, even to a small degree, I invite you to join the conversation, action, and accountability found inside the Iron Council so that you can overcome feeling like a fake and producing less in your life than you’re capable of.
