There is no shortage of diet and nutrition advice out there. Most of it is hype, gimmicky, extremely biased, and untested/unfounded. It's no wonder though as most of us are after the quick fix to a lifetime of making bad food and exercise choices. Today, I am joined by Chad Howse, author of "The Man Diet," to talk about why these other diets fail and why a man's approach to what he eats should be relatively simple. We talk about the specific benefits of incorporating this style of nutrition in your life, why intermittent fasting works so well, keys to developing testosterone naturally and safely, society's emasculation of men, and why you should consider incorporating the "Man Diet" into your life. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why this has been dubbed the "man diet" The benefits of incorporating this diet into your life The power of intermittent fasting Common myths when it comes to diet and nutrition Keys to developing testosterone naturally and safely Why competition is critical in developing testosterone The chemical differences between men and women How to track macronutrients Why you should consider adopting the mantra, "excellence in all things" The damaging effects of cortisol levels and how to reduce them The danger of society's emasculation of men The "do's" and "don't's" of eating clean CHAD HOWSE My guest today is someone that I've been following and paying attention to for quite some time. We only recently connected with the release of his latest book, The Man Diet. He has been on a mission over the past several years of reclaiming what it means to be a man and his goals and objectives are very much in alignment with what we share here in the Order of Man. He is the founder of Chad Howse Fitness and Average 2 Alpha and today he is here to talk about the power of incorporating what he has dubbed, "the man diet."

The path of most resistance. It's a term you'll rarely hear. That's because we, as men, are hard-wired to look for the path of least resistance. And, while there's merit to being efficient and effective in the quickest, most convenient way possible, it's not always in our best interest to take the easy route. Today, I share why. www.orderofman.com/FFN115 Please leave us a rating and review!

Every man, at some point, will lose his way. It's not really a question of "if" but a question of "when." When that day comes, the way you decided to face that adversity will spell the difference in you overcoming or succumbing. My guest today, powerlifter Brandon Lilly, is a man who has faced his fair share of obstacles but refuses to quit and always charges forward. We talk about the power of saying "no," why nothing ends with a period, how to develop more confidence, overcoming the need to be seen, and why every man ought to consider adopting the mantra, "Work, Don't Whine." SHOW HIGHLIGHTS • Why working without whining is so powerful • How to say "no" • Why problems scale and how to avoid it • Why nothing ends with a "period" • Finding the middle ground and why it's so important • Why the way we do things matters • How to develop and build more confidence • Overcoming the need to be seen • How ego and arrogance are hurting you • The power of integrity and telling the truth BRANDON LILLY My guest today is my friend, Brandon Lilly. A lot of you know who this man is but if you don't, I'm not sure how you've missed him. He's one of the biggest men I know and certainly one of the strongest. He is ranked as one of the strongest powerlifters and consistently lifts more than 2,000lbs combined in the deadlift, squat and bench press. He's worked with and consulted SEAL Teams, University of Kentucky Football, the Bengals, and numerous other organizations and Crossfit gyms around the country. But on top of all that, he's a man who is extremely humble in failure and victory (you'll hear some of those stories today). Today he's going to be talking about overcoming some of his trials and why he's adopted "Work, Don't Whine" as his mantra.

There are a lot of men who want to fix their marriages. While it sounds counterintuitive, the best way to fix your marriage is to fix yourself. Because, when you improve who you are as a man and how you're showing up as a husband, you're naturally going to produce a better marriage. Sure, a strong marriage is the result of the things that both you and your wife are doing but there's nothing you can do about her. That's why it's best to focus on the one thing you can control - yourself. Here are 7 ways to do just that... www.orderofman.com/FFN114 Please leave us a rating and review!

Every man will, at some point, be placed in a position of leadership, whether it's in the walls of his home, a new project at work, a promotion, ecclesiastical services, with friends, or simply leading himself. His ability to lead effectively will spell the difference between success and failure in any endeavor. Today, I am joined by retired Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel, Scott Mann to talk about how to be a strong leader. We talk about the importance of becoming a great storyteller, how to play your position well and allow others to do the same, why leaders need to learn to get out of the way, and how you can lead from the top. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why leaders need to become great storytellers The importance of becoming your own hero How great leaders learn to play their position Why leaders need to learn to get out of the way How leaders communicate across cultures How we locate ourselves through others' stories The power of writing your own story Why you need to meet people where they are How to solicit feedback from your team How to create win-win situations How to negotiate more effectively Why all great leaders have a service mindset LIEUTENANT COLONEL SCOTT MANN Today, I have the honor of introducing you to retired Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel, Scott Mann. He is a master at building relationships in high-stakes, competitive environments, as you might imagine. He spent 23 years in the United States Army (18 of which in were spent as a Green Beret) where he specialized in missions all over the world including Colombia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He is also a regular contributor on CNN, Fox, and Bloomberg, and many others where he shares his insights and experience when it comes to leading teams effectively. Obviously, he's worked in some extremely hostile environments where he's been able to lead missions effectively through his ability to build trust and credibility where most of that had been destroyed.

Every time you turn around, you're bombarded with a thousand ads, a million choices, and an endless supply of options and "opportunities." It's becoming increasingly difficult to manage the landscape of the ever-growing decisions that need to be made. Add to that our desire to be seen and perceived a certain way by people we may not even know or like, and it's easy to see why the disease of wanting more is becoming a real problem. My guest today, Joshua Becker, makes the case for why more is less. He argues (and, I agree) that having less stuff in our life can truly unlock the key to a more meaningful and purpose-driven life. We talk about the benefits of owning less, why we have the desire to own more than we'll ever need or use, the burden extra possessions place on our lives, and how you can become a minimalist. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The positive benefits of owning less The first things you should get rid of Why living on less can be so challenging How our brains aren't able to handle maximum input The burden "stuff" places on our lives Three reasons we feel the need to own so much stuff How to build the habit of living off less How to decide what the keep and what to eliminate Why money does not equal happiness and security The power of being more generous with your money How to overcome the resistance to living minimally The very first steps to reducing your amount of possessions JOSHUA BECKER Gentlemen, I have the honor of introducing you to my guest today, Joshua Becker. He is the founder of Becoming Minimalist and the bestselling author of The More of Less. And, in the spirit of the message we'll be discussing today, I will keep this introduction short. We were introduced by a mutual friend who had taken much of what Joshua has been teaching and incorporating it into his own life. I did some initial research and immediately recognized a need to adopt the practice of "rational minimalism" into my own. I've already begun implementing some of his teachings and I can honestly say I've been able to free up more mental and physical capacity for more important pursuits in my life.
