Winning the War with Coronavirus | DR. GREGORY POLAND
Obviously, the world is entering unprecedented and unchartered territory. Every day, we're hearing new information about the Coronavirus – some credible and some not so credible. It's times like these that we need to turn to the experts to look for answers and solutions to the problems we face. That's why I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Gregory Poland, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and director of the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine research group. Today, we talk about common misconceptions about the Coronavirus, the best approach to dealing with this threat, how vaccines are being developed, the eventuality of this disease, how this virus differs from others, and how we'll win the war against Coronavirus. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Enforcing social distancing This virus is unique We don't know the full extent Flue strain circulations Isolate vs. distance It'll hurt us economically Shielding the most vulnerable This is a war Building up antibodies Developing vaccines How we're reacting Taking unnecessary risk Sharing out of your plenty Mental and spiritual health Funding global health Countries taking responsibilities How to protect your family Proper handwashing Using the right-hand sanitizer DR. GREGORY POLAND Today, I am joined by Dr. Gregory Poland, Mary Lowell Leary professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is also the director of the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group and editor-in-chief of the medical journal, Vaccine. In addition, he previously served as the president of the Health Defense Board and is the recipient of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. With more than 30 years of work in the field of viruses and vaccines, his team is currently using immunological testing and other methods to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. IRON COUNCIL It's likely that, in the wake of the Coronavirus fallout, you've been isolated to some degree. And, if that's the case (even if it's not), it's crucial that you develop and maintain relationships with other men who are motivated and ambitious as you are. That's where the Iron Council comes in. We've created a network of over 500 men, all with their own unique perspectives and objectives, who are willing and able to accomplish big things in their lives and help you do the same. And, although all of the men have differing goals, we've banded together in a common goal to become the most effective and capable men we can be (which, during these trying times, is crucial). We have a time and battle-tested system for helping you accomplish big things on the home, personal, and business front and all you have to do is tap into the framework and network, and do the work required.

Redefining Yourself | TUCKER MAX
Most of you are familiar with Tucker Max. Regardless of what you think about him, there is no fence-sitting. You either love the guy or hate him. But that's part of the reason I wanted to have a conversation with him – to find out what makes him so polarizing and how he feels about that. That said, the biggest reason I wanted to talk with him is to learn about his ability to redefine himself from college frat boy to successful entrepreneur, husband, and father. I think we can all relate messing some things up along the path and many of us have or are working on our redemption story. Today, Tucker and I talk about speaking the truth, overcoming judgment, the reality of the "zero f's" mentality, and, ultimately, how to redefine yourself. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The pain of staying the same Fixing what's inside Going through therapy Getting fired Getting rejected Writing a Best Seller Scribe Media Finding your personal truth Negotiating reality Tribal warfare Consumerism culture Plant medicine therapy The best version of yourself Separating from your ego Breaking down barriers Controlling the narrative Masculine movement of feminism How to uncover your story TUCKER MAX Most of you know my guest today, Tucker Max. If you're like me, you ran across one of his New York Times Bestselling books in an airport or bookstore. That's likely the case because he's sold over 4,500,000 copies of them. He's been credited with starting the literary genre, "fratire" where he detailed and documented his college-day exploits. And, although, that's what made him famous, his ability to redefine himself from those days to who he is today is what really had me interested in talking with him. He's now the founder of Scribe Media and is helping other people tell their own stories in their own unique way and give a voice to those who need it and for those who need to hear it. IRON COUNCIL Gents, you've heard about the Iron Council before but what I wanted to share with you today is something that we are working on starting next week. We call it the Twelve-Week Battle Plan and it's a system we've developed over the past five years to help you accomplish more in a 90-day span than you potentially have in an entire year. In fact, when I wrote my book, Sovereignty, I completed it in a Battle Planning cycle using the same system the members of the Iron Council are using. Obviously, life has taken a very strange turn for most of you in 2020 but using the Battle Plan and the accountability found inside the Iron Council will ensure that you get back out ahead of things and make the most of a very strange situation.

Establishing the Mindsets for Victory | JASON GARDNER
In the midst of all the variables and uncertainties, it can be a real challenge to create victories for yourself on the home, business, or personal front. Fortunately, you have control over the one variable that makes the biggest difference – your mindset. My guest today is retired Navy SEAL Command Master Chief, Jason Gardner. We talk about the laws of combat, transitioning from successful warrior to successful homesteader, overcoming social anxiety and PTSD, and ultimately how to embrace and execute the mindsets for victory. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Organic farming Homesteading Business agility Transitioning from SEALS Finding your mission Striking-up conversation Fight or flight response PTSD A paradigm shift Coping with stress Combat deployment The Laws of Combat Mindsets for victory The disease of victory JASON GARDNER What a powerful conversation I have to share with you today with an absolutely incredible man. His name is Jason Gardner and he is a retired Navy SEAL Command Master Chief with over 30 years of military service under his belt with 9 deployments across the globe. He's served at every level of leadership from SEAL sniper to lead instructor for Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment to SEAL Team Five Command Master Chief. He is also the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and a purple heart. He now serves as a leadership instructor, speaker, and strategic advisor at Echelon Front. Not only is he a badass on the battlefield but every other facet of life as well. LEGACY Men (specifically fathers), we are coming down to the wire on closing down registration for the LEGACY EXPERIENCE and I want you and your son to be there. Check your calendars because it's going to be held June 11th-14th, 2020 on my property here in Maine. This is an experience unlike any other and it's designed to be 3 ½ days of extensive physical and intellectual competition and camaraderie between you and 19 other fathers/sons. We've created an event that will quite literally transform the relationship that you and your boy have together and give you the tools, resources, and framework for you to usher your boy into manhood in a world that seems to be increasingly dismissive of it. If you're even the least bit interested, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to watch a quick video of our last event and learn more about what the weekend entails.

A Primer on Biblical Masculinity | BISHOP ROBERT BARRON
Today, we tackle a conversation we've never had on this podcast – biblical masculinity. As you men are well aware, Order of Man is a non-religious movement but that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't look at all available paths to the type of men we have a desire to be. And, I can think of no better guest to have this type of conversation than Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. During our conversation, we talk about David as an example of biblical masculinity, individual sovereignty vs. God's sovereignty, literal and figurative interpretations of the bible, Jesus Christ as a fighter, and choosing to live the commandments. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The great narratives How David emerges Lessons of humility A willingness to engage Man's capability to protect Engaging through non-violence After the resurrection Listening to the Lord The sovereignty of God Governing your family Discerning your mission Twelve-year-old Jesus Finding true power Clinging to worldly power The discipline of the gym Respect for your freedom Choosing your character Building a moral wall Legitimate self-care Biblical literacy BISHOP ROBERT BARRON Gents, I've been looking forward to introducing my guest to you today. His name is Bishop Robert Barron. He currently serves as the auxiliary bishop to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. He's been asked to speak at Facebook, Google, and Amazon on the subject of religion, discussed and debated with Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, and serves as a religious correspondent for NBC, Fox News, and CNN. In addition, he reaches nearly 2,000,000 people on his social media accounts and over 350,000 people receive his daily email reflections. Obviously, the man is very influential and, during our discussion today, I think you'll hear why. LEGACY Men (specifically fathers), we are coming down to the wire on closing down registration for the LEGACY EXPERIENCE and I want you and your son to be there.
