Order Of Man: Protect | Provide | Preside

We all want to lead. But not all of us can do so. Not right now but that doesn’t mean we aren’t capable of  becoming the leader we desire to be. My guest today is Brett Bartholomew, a word-class performance coach and he is going to share exactly how we can begin to lead in our families, businesses, and communities more effectively. Today, we talk about six driving factors of individuals, the four main communication styles and how to use the effectively, how power, influence, and manipulation can be wielded for good, the use of “referent power,” and how leaders play chess, not checkers. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Commitment and compliance Tailoring your communication and messaging Building teams with different personality types The baseline of communication is misunderstanding Some people are just interested in making you the enemy Impression management is a form of communication Messages have to be repeated Selective and strategic self-disclosure   Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto

As young boys, the world is quite literally our playground. It seems so full of questions waiting to be answered and mysterious places to discover and explore. It’s in our nature to run, jump, play and unlock the secrets that call to us. Then, as we become men, we lose a lot of the natural curiosity and desire to traverse the world around us. The world around us often become more like a jail cell than the playground we remember of our youth. My guest today is a man who has not lost a bit of the curiosity and excitement of his youth. If anything, he has cultivated it. His name is Danny Bolton. Today, you’re going to hear how to recapture that magic. We talk about how hesitation hurts us, a man’s need to play, creating an enemy to fight against, the analogy of the wolf, sheep, and sheep herder, the power of being ready for anything, and how to tap back into our primal nature.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Taking the life of an animal in the most humane and efficient way possible Letting out your “animal” side How to ge

We've had a conversation about it and she has communicated that she's still concerned that i may have some red flags she hasn't seen yet and wont take the next step. It seems the longer she doesn't find something the more certain she is they exist. Most of what she has said

Every single day, we’re faced with choices that will either help or hinder us and move us closer to our goals and desires or further away. What we decide in those moments will determine our ultimate results. And, if we’re not satisfied with our current reality, it’s safe to assume that we made choices that did not serve us well. Today I’m joined by former NFL Super Bowl Champion and Results Coach, Setema Gali to talk about these choices. We also cover the power of decisiveness, making certain that our priorities don’t merely get the leftovers, the level of commitment required to thrive and win, the positive benefits of guilt and shame, the dangers of false humility, and the trap of self-martyrdom and victimization.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Setting the standard for your kids Need to balance discipline with letting your kids be kids The importance of establishing clear agreements with your family Family values Building champs instead of chumps We can experience emotion without it becoming our identity What we foc

Let’s kick off the New Year with a discussion on physical health. It seems like such a popular subject around this time of year with New Year’s Resolutions so hopefully we can get you pointed in the right direction and keep on the path for the entirety of 2023. Today, I’m joined by my personal fitness coach, Johnny Loreti to talk about the myth of over-training, key metrics to track in developing strength and overall health, the power of resistance training and progressive overload, differences between simply “working out” and “training,” and fitness as the foundation of success.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   It’s ok to “auto regulate” but don’t use it as an excuse to be lazy How to incorporate progressive overload Finding enjoyment in the gym It’s ok to be motivated by something silly, if it works The differences and training goals Sometimes hard work can compensate for inefficiency How to get started with fitness in the new year The importance of the aesthetic side effect of fitness The difference between “working

It’s easy to get caught up in complaining without moving into the next logical step – solutions. Let’s be honest, there is a lot to complain about in today’s cultural and political climate. But unless we’re willing to do something about the injustices we see in society, complaining is nothing more than empty gestures and platitudes. It was Plato who said, “The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” Today, I’m joined by former Navy SEAL and cultural podcast host, Shawn Ryan. We talk about why politics and entertainment seem to be more about creating controversy than anything else, the hypocrisy in elected officials on both sides of the aisle, the impending danger of an open US border and Chinese globalization, raising kids in positivity, and why instead of simply complaining, we must be willing and able to do something about it.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Outrage culture Hypocrisy coming out of the conservative side Switching party as a publicity stunt The race to win ar

Men, as you’re thinking about your New Year’s Resolutions, it’s easy to become trapped in day-dreaming . So many men look forward to what they want to accomplish but rarely do they calculate the plan to achieve their objectives and, most importantly, take the actions necessary. Today, I am joined by former Army Ranger and founder of Bare Performance Nutrition, Nick Bare. We discuss removing ego from the equation, looking at life as a series of “sprints,” managing expectations with important people in your life, keeping yourself from becoming resentful and callused towards others, and the power of “forward thinking and backward planning.”   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Men bond over working hard Getting started now The importance of having a vision for your business, family, and life The importance of delegation in a growing business Finding your identity outside of your business Backward planning your legacy Getting buy-in from your wife when you are “sprinting” in the business Why fitness is non-negotiable Consider

I think it’s safe to assume that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re a man who is interested in becoming a more capable man. Unfortunately, the men who have come before us have, in a lot of ways, made it possible for us not to have to step up the way we as men ought to – as “savage servants.”   Today, I am joined by Nick Koumalatsos – a former member of Marine Reconnaissance – to talk about what it means to be a “Savage Servant.” We also discuss physical fitness as the foundation of what it means to be a man, why we must fabricate struggle, positive programming, and personal growth through humility.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   We don’t have to make the mistakes of our parents Gaining vision for your life at a young age Balance between a giving your kids a better life and fabricating challenges Sons generally look like their father Positive programming with your sons We need to put effort into our kids Moving past judgment of others Humility is being a savage servant If you prepare, you are less likely to ne
