You want to be a better man than you currently are. If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t even be listening to this podcast. Regardless of where you are on your path and how you feel about how you show up in life as a father, husband, business owner, and/or community leader there is room left on the table for all of us to step up even more. My guest today, Nick Freitas, shares with us some insight onto how to do just that. Today, we talk about what “bad guys” get right, why, “happy wife, happy life,” is garbage, the role of women and men in family and society, harnessing masculinity for good purposes, addressing and dealing with your insecurities, and the difference between being a “good man,” and being, “good at being a man.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (00:50) Defining Masculinity and Family Role (09:18) Navigating Relationships and Divorce Challenges (18:38) Test of Loyalty in Marriage (26:36) Navigating Decisions and Communication in Marriage (32:26) Exploring the Bad Boy Archetype (38:46) Understanding Men's Emotional Maturity (44:25) The Roles of Men and Women (49:58) Traditional Gender Roles and Mental Health (53:53) Traditional Gender Roles in Marriage Read the full article https://www.orderofman.com/nickfreitas Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Masculinity-Manifesto-Establishes-Influence-Credibility/dp/1684513316 Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

That’s a question my guest and good friend, Rick Trimmer, has spent the last 20 years of his life trying to answer.

Most men have never been in a fight in their life (or, at most, a handful). So, what does it take to enter the Octogon and make a 16-year career (and counting) of administering and receiving the brunt end of physical violence. It’s something my guest today, UFC legend, Jim Miller, has done. And, he’s brought us so many incredible moments in the world of professional MMA. Today, Jim and I talk about what it takes to fight for a living and why he believes he was built to fight. We cover some of the highs and lows of his career including his debilitating battle with Lyme disease and his recovery, how he shapes his training atmosphere for maximum results, how to win and lose with class and grace, ensuring he never puts himself into the victim role, and his immense respect for men who step into the cage with him.

Most men live soft, sedated lifestyles. Then, they expect themselves to perform at the highest possible standard when life gets real. At best, they wonder why they can’t seem to get ahead in their personal and professional lives and, often, chalk it up to luck or poor external circumstances. My guest today, Bedros Keuilian, makes the case that only in adversity is a man revealed to himself and why it’s so crucial every man learns to develop the mental fortitude required to succeed in life. We also discuss the how the work we do in private shows itself in public, how to avoid the destructive drift of life, where vulnerability fits into the equation with men, what one question every man is attempting to answer for himself, Bedros’ idea of the “Karmic Bank Account,” and why the “covenant of the blood is greater than the water of the womb.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (01:10) Men's Personal Development Program Misunderstood (09:53) Healing and Bonding Through Adversity (22:41) Men's Accountability and Emotional Vulnerability (33:26) Overcoming Victim Mentality and Identity Labels (39:46) Breaking the Cycle (48:47) Discovering Self Through Stillness (59:39) Connecting With Bedros Koulian on Projects Read the full article https://www.orderofman.com/bedroskeuilian4 Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Masculinity-Manifesto-Establishes-Influence-Credibility/dp/1684513316 Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

My guest today is a man who is not only comfortable with violence, but he’s also comfortable with empathy, compassion, and forgiveness. And, I think that is EXACTLY what makes us men – the ability to administer violence and the capacity to restrain ourselves and harness it for good. His name is Victor Marx, a high-risk humanitarian. And, today he is here to talk about what is really going to down in Israel, the risk it poses to the United States, the fight of good and evil in society today, surrounding yourself with the right people, how to make important decisions based in love, and the burden and blessing of masculinity.

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past 18 months looking into the various attachment styles of men – anxious, avoidant, and secure. I think we all intuitively know that “secure” is the best place to be, but the question is, “How do we get there?” It’s especially difficult considering our engrained attachment style drives so much of our decision-making process – much of which is subconscious.

My guest today is licensed psychotherapist and attachment specialist, Adam Lane Smith. Today, Adam and I discuss building secure, sustainable relationships, why responsibility breeds security and why we subconsciously avoid it, how the chemicals, Oxytocin and Vasopressin, drive our emotional and problem-solving connections, and why every man needs to work on building his “male solution network.”

Fear keeps most men from pursuing meaningful and fulfilling opportunities in life – whether romantic, a business start-up, having a hard conversation, asking for a promotion or the sale, etc. But it really isn’t what we think it is – the fear of failure. More often than not, it’s the fear of what others may think about us that keeps us from going after what we desire. My guest is Dr. Michael Gervais, a psychologist who studies mastery and what keeps us from obtaining it. In fact, he has worked with Super Bowl Champions, Olympic Gold Medalists, and some of the most elite performers in the world. Today, we discuss FOPO (fear of people’s opinions), the first rule of mastery, why we care so much about what others think, how we over-index approval as a necessary part of tribe building, and the dangers in being a one-dimensional man. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS * What keeps us from obtaining mastery * Fear of people’s opinions * The first rule of mastery * Why we care so much about what others think * The dangers in being a one dimensional man * Single focused mindfulness and contemplative mindfulness * How to be present Read the full article https://www.orderofman.com/michaelgervais Order Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Masculinity-Manifesto-Establishes-Influence-Credibility/dp/1684513316 Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

All of us know there’s gas left in the tank of our own personal performance. And, yet, with all the tasks and responsibilities we bear, the distractions to overcome, and our own ability to deceive ourselves, it’s challenging to meet the bare minimum at times let alone go above and beyond. So then, how exactly do we excel and produce the lives we desire for ourselves and our families. My guest today has the answers.

 His name is Lex Robinson and he is a peak performance coach and mentor. Today, we talk about the concepts of “calendar worship,” “power down process,” and “religious unitasking.” We also discuss the benefits of learning how to communicate directly, removing unimportant distractions from our lives, getting clarity on what we desire, and so much more.
