Order Of Man: Protect | Provide | Preside

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 Lear

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 stren

My guest today is the one and only, Tim Tebow. I had the opportunity to sit down with him in New York last week and, without a doubt, he’s one of the most genuine human beings that I’ve ever met. You could feel that from him from the moment he walked into our studio (which happened to be a hotel room in Manhattan). I’ve always wondered if the men we see online are the same men in person and I can unequivocally say, “yes,” with Tebow. Today, we talk about where Tebow’s convictions come from, the powerful relationship he has with his father and his coaches along the way, why his work with those who have special needs is so crucial in the absence of manliness, the dichotomy between God’s sovereignty and our own, creating an edge in your life, stacking up the small wins, and, at the foundation of it all, how to create a life that counts.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:   Masculinity is lacking around the world Love is a choice that we make Kids see everything that parents do Managing the expectations of others Some people j

Men, this one is like a conversation with an old friend.
