Order Of Man: Protect | Provide | Preside

You are a liar. I am a liar. Everytime we fabricate an excuse, we keep ourselves from doing the work required to succeed. And, if you aren't willing to tell yourself the truth, you don't want it bad enough. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN056 http://www.orderofman.com

Ted Nugent (@tednugent) has been rocking America for more than 50 years. As a board member for the NRA and a conservative political activist, he has dedicated his life to teaching others and fighting for individual responsibility and personal liberty. As you'll hear today, more and more, individualism and personal liberty, are being frowned upon. It's as if somehow individuality is a threat to the system as a whole. That couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is that men who express their own individuality and personal liberty and responsibility are the men responsible for building their families, innovating new ideas in technology, medicine, and every area of life, and stepping up in their neighborhoods and communities.

 Today, I have the honor of sharing with you my conversation with the one and only Ted Nugent. We talk about the dangers of political correctness, how to improve your life and happiness through discipline, the deterioration of excellence, and the importance of freedom, liberty, and

I heard the phrase earlier in the week, FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Well, I'm here to tell you that's total B.S. Fear is real! And, in the next 8 minutes, I'm going to prove it to you and tell you why you should embrace fear rather than run from it. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN055 http://www.orderofman.com

I have now asked over 100 men what it means to be a man. And, I've received over 100 answers. It seems that defining what it means to be a man is a difficult thing to do. But, regardless of what it might mean to be a man, I think it's safe to say that every man has certain roles he will fulfill throughout his lifetime. And, how he executes in each of these roles will define who he is as a man. My guest today, a man that needs no introduction, Brett McKay, joins me to talk about how masculinity has evolved over the past 50-100 years, the soft and hard skills every man should become proficient with, where our views of masculinity come from, and how you can master the six roles of the modern man.

I did a podcast a while back called, Complacency Kills but, when I say, "complexity kills," I'm talking about the exact opposite of complacency and/or doing nothing. I'm talking about doing TOO MUCH. And, more specifically the mistake of pitfall of over-planning and over-complicating every element of your life. I look around and I see so many people offering crazy hacks, tips, tricks, fads, pills, strategies, etc., and most of them are too complex – so complex that no one even implements the strategy in the first place. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN054 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

Study after study has shown that most men are dissatisfied with their career in some form or another. And, yet finding new and more meaningful work seems to be more difficult than ever. My guest today, Kevin Kermes, talks with us about why that is, how you can make your current position more meaningful, make more money, stand out in a crowded marketplace, and how you can upgrade your career to one you love.

It seems that everywhere you look, you'll find someone out there willing to tell you how to live your life. But, what I find fascinating is that not only is everyone out there attempting to dictate your life (probably because they're working to sell you their wares, and gadgets, and gizmos, and whatever…), but I have to question how often we, as men and leaders in our families, our businesses, and our communities attempt to fix other people. Bu, do you truly want to change your life? You truly want to connect with your wife? You truly want your kids to listen to you? You truly want your boss to stop being such a jerk? Here's how you do it: STOP FOCUSING ON THEM. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN053 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

The word "wealth" has such a stigma associated with it. And, it seems more and more, those who have managed to acquire any amount of it are demonized by the rest of the world. The reality is, as my guest David Osborn says, is that wealth simply magnifies who you already are. Some of the wealthiest men on the plant have also been the most charitable. And, if you hope to do any good in this world - for you or anyone else - wealth is a requirement.

If you're anything like me, you're a recovering "nice guy", or maybe you still are a "nice guy." A lot of men may hear that and wonder what's wrong with being nice. There's nothing wrong with being nice until it comes at the expense of your own well-being. My guest today, author of the book No More Mr. Nice Guy, Dr. Robert Glover, joins me to talk about the myth of the nice guy, common negative symptoms the nice guy experiences, how to implement the "Healthy Male Rule," and how you can eliminate the nice guy once and for all.

Consistency in all we do is critical to our success. Consistency trumps talent every time. I see a lot of men out there who I would consider "one-pump chumps." These are the guys that go in, swing for the fence, and, if they hit a homerun, they'll stick around. If they strike out, they pull themselves from the game. It's easy to be good for a minute. It's easy to be on your game when the stars are aligned. It's easy to slay it when you're in the zone. But that's not what matters. It doesn't matter because EVERYONE can do it then. What matters is how you handle yourself in adversity. What matters is what you do when things aren't going well. What matters is how you handle yourself when you don't feel like doing it – whatever it is. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN051 Please leave us a rating and review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes

I get a lot of requests and a lot of questions about the importance of healthy levels of testosterone in men. Unfortunately, we're beginning to see studies that show testosterone levels among men are at an all-time low and show no signs of improving anytime soon. My guest today, Nicholas Bayerle, joins me to talk about the role testosterone plays in men, why we're experiencing a decline in testosterone levels, the effects of low testosterone, and how to safely and naturally boost your testosterone levels.

Being "At The Ready" is about being prepared for whatever life may have to throw at you. It's about taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.

Every single one of us has received a gift in our lives that have made us feel like the most important person on this planet. Knowing that, it's easy to see how giving gifts to others will make the feel. But, how often do we tap into the power of gratitude, appreciation, and gift-giving. My guest today, Author of Giftology John Ruhlin, joins me to talk about how powerful gift giving can be, how to build credibility and influence through the power of appreciation, some important factors to consider when gift-giving, how to avoid it coming across as manipulation, and the art of science of giving gifts.

Money has always been a difficult topic. The reality is that this little green piece of paper we call money has a much greater impact than dollars and cents. It permeates every element of our lives including our sense of worth and all the other emotions money manifests. My guest today, Jeff Rose with Good Financial Cents, joins me to talk about the importance of learning about money from the right people, what to look for in a good financial advisor, how to talk with your kids about money, some basic principles of wealth building, and how you can create financial independence.

In fact, I actually reached out to him to help me launch my online financial business which eventually morphed and changed into what you're listening to now, The Order of Man. He's known for rallyi

Like it or not, your ability to connect with and relate to other people is such a critical component to your overall success in life. Dealing with your own life is hard enough as it is so adding another human being into the dimension makes it infinitely more challenging. Today my guest, Jordan Harbinger with the Art of Charm, joins me for the second time to talk about adding maximum value to your relationships, establishing boundaries to keep the relationship healthy, the power that comes from diversifying your connections, and how to build more social capital. Jordan Harbinger Jordan Harbinger is a man a lot of you already know. He is back to visit with us for a second time due to popular demand. I've managed to build a good relationship with Jordan over the past two years and, when we connected a couple weeks ago, I jumped at the opportunity to have him back on. He is the host of the top-ranked podcast, The Art of Charm, which again, a lot of you are familiar with and he's someone I really respect when it c
