It's easy to get distracted by everything that life has to offer us as men. Whether we're attempting to live up to impossible standards, chasing other people's dreams, or spinning around in circles being busy, but not productive, you've got to find a way to focus your attention and energy on the things that truly matter. My guest today is Vincent "Rocco" Vargas. I'll get into all that he is doing in his life in a bit but for now, let's just say that he's found a way to identify and pursue what really matters to him. We talk about becoming a "Ride or Die, Dad," what it means to operate from your "Power Base," evolving your inner circle, learning to lead and follow, and how to become a confident, grounded man. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS A renaissance man Identifying success Morals, values, and beliefs Importance of being fit Parallels to leadership Communicating fairly Maintaining respect Ride or die Fine-tuning mistakes Self-accountability Responding to failure Establishing your pawer-base Building future leaders Striving to be more Having the right motives Working with veterans The growth of an actor VINCENT "ROCCO" VARGAS My guest today is Vincent "Rocco" Vargas and if ever there was a Renaissance man, he is it. He is a former Army Ranger and Drill Sergeant, husband, father, barber, entrepreneur, coach, actor, producer, and writer. In the couple of years that I've gotten to know him, I can tell that not only is he someone who is willing to pursue his interests and dreams, he's also someone who knows exactly what he wants outside of notoriety, popularity, and accolades – to be a great family man. Today, you're going to hear what that looks like, how he found his path and the strategies he uses to pursue everything he wants. LEGACY Gents, we're getting very close on closing up our 3rd inaugural Legacy Experience which is being held June 11th – 14th, 2020 on my property in Maine. I just had a contractor come out last week for a couple of buildouts we're taking care of prior to our fathers and sons who will be attending. This is going to be an event unlike any other for you and your son between the ages of 8 – 15. The whole weekend is designed to be mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding so that you and your son will walk away with a new perspective on your relationship and a deeper bond between you two. I have seen incredible transformations in father/son relationships through this 3 ½ experience and I want you guys to experience that for yourself. If you're interested, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to watch a quick video and lock in one of the last 2 remaining spots. Again, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to claim your seat.

Guys, you're really going to enjoy today's conversation with my friend and repeat guest Sal Di Stefano. You may know him from MindPump Media where they focus on physical and mental health primarily but Sal is so well-versed with trends in society that I really wanted to have the conversation we have today. We talk about logical fallacies, emotional hype, "cancel culture," victimhood as a perceived virtue, why superman isn't brave at all, and, ultimately, how to think rationally in an irrational world. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Effective communication Seeking smart people Having your mind changed The marketplace of ideas Collective truths Rolling the dice Understanding generality Long term behavior changes Self-growth Being a victim Marketing 101 The free market Rational Emotion SAL DI STEFANO As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is Sal Di Stefano. He is the co-founder and co-host of MindPump Media. The man is a natural intellect as you'll hear during our conversation and has taken his passion for information and learning and applied it to the realm of physical fitness. He's been through some ups and downs regarding his own path of health and fitness and has used his extensive research and knowledge to create their MAPS programming. Now he along with his co-hosts, Adam, Justin, and Doug, they host the MindPump Media Podcast which is reaching the masses and has been downloaded tens of millions of times. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. MAINE EVENT AND LEGACY EXPERIENCE Good news, gents.

With as much as we are inundated within our daily lives, it's becoming increasingly difficult to be completely present and mindful of the people and things that really matter. In fact (and in fairness to today's conversation), this podcast could actually be distracting you from what it is you should be doing. Today, I'm joined by my friend Donnie Vincent. Many of you know him as an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and conservationist but we tackle a different (but equally important) conversation today – being present and mindful of who you are and what you're after. We cover social media, finding work you love, dealing with a lack of confidence, taking care of yourself first, and ensuring you're focused on just the right things. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Bridging the gap Sharing the experience Uncovering your path Capturing imagery Celebrating the wins Smoke and mirrors Collecting shiny things Discovering who you are Living a positive life Facing the pressure Moving your body Investing in yourself Fighting like hell The foundation of truth DONNIE VINCENT Many of you know my guest today, Donnie Vincent but I think you'll see and hear a side of him that you haven't heard before. Donnie is an explorer, a biologist, a conservationist, and a sportsman. And, I think after listening to our conversation, you'll hear how thoughtful and intentional he is about how exactly he lives his life. Donnie is an incredible storyteller and through his media company, Sicmanta, he has a powerful gift in bringing people into his outdoor adventures and connecting them with his passion for the wild. After hearing him today, you're going to understand what I mean and walk away inspired to lean into your life more fully. LEGACY My legacy is something that is very important to me. I'm sure it is for you too. Last week, I had the opportunity to spend 4 days with my two oldest boys and, as we laughed and joked, shared stories, and had an adventure, I couldn't help but wonder if I am doing enough to prepare them for life as their father. In fact, it's the thing that keeps me up and night more than anything else. I'm sure that, as a father, you feel very much the same way. For this reason, I launched the LEGACY EXPERIENCE three years ago as a 3 ½ day event to bring together fathers and sons around a group of strong, competitive, competent men, lessons, and resources. I want to invite you to claim one of the last 2 spots remaining for our third installment in Maine on June 11-14, 2020. If you're even remotely interested, please head to www.orderofman.com/leagacy to learn more and lock in one of those last remaining spots. Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.
