Order of Man

You guys have heard me talk a lot about our role as protectors, providers, and presiders not only within the walls of our home but in our communities as well. Not only do we have the opportunity to give back to those in need, we have a moral obligation to do so, especially if we have the means to do it. My guest today is a man who is doing exactly that. His name is Victor Fontanez (you may know him as Vic Blends) and he has made a name for himself through offering practical life advice for the young men he gives haircuts to as he serves his community in Atlanta. Vic is 22 years old but you're going to hear so much incredible wisdom come from him. I was honestly taken back by how much this man inspired me to do and be better myself. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Don't take your blessings for granted Do what you believe in and everything else will handle itself What to look for in people in your inner circle Always practice gratitude Differentiating between your plan and God's plan Find your part and play it well Learning lessons in the barber shop Education and reform in the prison system The importance of having conversations to change perspective Being able to communicate your message effectively Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?

We live in the single greatest time in the history of the human species but that's not to say we're without our fair share of challenges and struggles. It seems to me that the path we're on is leading us to a path of destruction and the pace of our demise seems to be rapidly increasing. My guest, Dave Rubin, would agree and, although we don't see eye to eye on everything we discuss today, I think it will serve as a reminder that we can – and should – learn to have these crucial conversations before it's too late. Today, we talk about the seeming futility of trying create positive change in the world, what "wokeism" is and how to root it out of our society, big tech and how it's working in overdrive to subjugate us, capitalism vs. socialism, homosexuality and transgenderism, and, ultimately, how to thrive in our ever-increasing woke dystopia. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: We had largely "solved" racism before bad policy brought it back The "woke" revolution is eating its own Humor is a great release valve The strength of liberalism is also it's weakness Having feminine characteristics doesn't make someone a woman We all live outside of our ideals and values at times How do you reason with unreasonable people?

If you're anything like me, you know that deep down inside you're meant to do something great in this life. It's unfortunate, however, that so many men settle especially when it comes to a career they're likely going to spend the overwhelming majority of their waking hours in. That's why I wanted to invite back Ken Coleman, author of From Paycheck to Purpose. Today, Ken and I talk about the concept of "stealing time from yourself" to launch a purpose project, tactical discipline during the pursuit, the 3 types of fear that keep men from going after meaningful work, and how to take yourself from day job to dream job. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Culture has made it seem silly for us to pursue our passion Pursue your talent, passion and mission You have to steal time from yourself Don't sacrifice the "now" for the "next" Instead of hearing no, hear not here, not yet… Experiencing fear and doubt is a good sign You've got to filter failure Understanding three major sources of fear There is no success without suck Much of our strength comes from the struggle Surround yourself with the right people Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
