Order of Man

A Battle Buddy, for those of you who are not familiar, is a member of your unit who is there to cover your six. He's there to ensure you're doing the right things, training as hard as you can, and covering your blind spots so you don't do anything dumb – like get yourself killed. It's a concept we used on the battle field. It's a concept used on the football field when you consider the blindside tackle whose job is to protect the quarterback at all costs. It's a concept that is used in every facet of life. www.orderofman.com/FFN063 www.orderofman.com

Money is villainized by much of the media and society today. It's easy to see why. Only a select few have managed to build a sizable net worth and, the fact remains, that the majority of the population are living a life of anything but wealth and abundance. But, that doesn't have to be the case. In fact, much of what my guest, Cole Hatter, talks about today is the mindset and rules for more abundance in your life. We talk about living a life of significance, what money truly is, the value of capitalism, and, more importantly, how to make money matter in your life and the lives of those you care about.

A Rite of Passage is a tradition that dates back as long as humans have walked this planet but it seems to be less and less common. And, unless a young man plays competitive sports, or participates in Scouting, or joins the military, he just isn't going to be initiated into manhood. In fact, a lack of initiation into manhood has caused a lot of the problems we see with boys never leaving the nest. So, today, I want to share the ins and outs of the Rite of Passage I created for my son and the six key components of any Rite of Passage so you can re-create your own. www.orderofman.com/FFN062 www.orderofman.com

There is no doubt that all of us have been through some difficult challenges in our lives - some more than others. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, disease or illness, bankruptcy, or divorce, your ability to adapt and overcome spells the difference between those who crumble and those who thrive. My guest today, Navy SEAL Joost Janssen, talks with us about enduring and even enjoying pain, the power of deciding early, how to harness tragedy and the negativity of others, how to come back from the darkness, and, more importantly, how to thrive through hardship.

We refer to the "moment of truth" as the moment we actually find out if something is going to work or not. Today, I want to talk with you about the faulty premise in that line of thinking. I realize it's just a phrase but I was having a conversation with my neighbor the other day about a project he was working on and he didn't know if it was going to work until he got to the last step. I do know that sometimes, there's just no way of knowing whether or not something is going to work out or not until we try it but I also know there are a lot of things we can, and should, know ahead of time. I mean, why invest huge amounts of time, energy, money, and other resources into something if you have no idea whether it's going to work out or not? www.orderofman.com/FFN061 www.orderofman.com

If you're anything like me, connecting with you kids can be a real challenge. You know it's important. You want to connect with them. But, the grind of everyday life and providing for your family and wearing all the "hats" we as men are required to wear can come at a cost. Today my guest, Jim Sheils, joins us to talk about why we succeed in business but fail in the family, the entrepreneurial lie, how to create moments with your children, implementing what he calls "rhythms" into your life, and how to finally connect with you kids.

Through thousands of hours of work, reading, and personal observation I've discoverd that there are four domains of manliness that I believe every single man must address in order to become the best possible version of himself. So, I thought it would be a good idea to break down those four domains a bit more and share with you some of what I've learned over the last two years. www.orderofman.com/FFN060 www.orderofman.com

I've never met a man who did not have a dream or, at a minimum, and idea for what his future holds. That said, I've met plenty of men who died with that dream still inside them. There's a lot of reason for this. And, whether it's fear or a lack of understanding what it will take to make your dream a reality, you owe it to yourself and the world to pursue it. My guest today, Dale Partridge, shares with us how to find that passion, how identify problems worth solving, a 3-part formula for creating workable solutions, and how to turn your passion into your profession.

There seems to be a lot of men these days that have either forgotten what it means to be a man in the home or never learned the skills to step up fully as the king of the castle. I look around and I see the pain in men's eyes. And, if it's not pain, it's death. There are millions of men walking around like lifeless, soulless zombies. And, the repercussions of that is at best a meaningless life and, at worst, infidelity issues, addiction to drugs, alcohol, and pornography, and, in many case, verbal, emotional, and physical abuse. While everyone out there is trying to change the world, solve world hunger, bring about world peace, and doing it at a global scale, I'm here to tell you that the way we change the world by equipping men with the tools and skills to lead their own kingdoms. And that means we start by going into the most basic unit in society, the family. http://www.orderofman.com/FFN059 http://www.orderofman.com
