(6:00) What’s your thoughts on the current FBI raids on conservative/Christian men?

(7:40) How do you know when you should leave a steady pay check for your own business?

(12:00) What would be some tactics we could use to expand or move beyond this box (constructed of our previous experiences) if the current situation that we find ourselves in, while not ideal, has put us in a better position than anything we have yet to experience?

(25:00) How can I help my kids overcome new fears, which have surfaced after separating from my wife?

(30:40) How do you build a group of men around you that goes deeper than surface level?

(36:00) What, if any, resources do you suggest for talking to son about sex?

(41:00) Have you considered expanding the Order of Man into any other areas? E.g. OoM shooting ranges, OoM BJJ Academies, OoM Hunting Classes, or anything else along those lines.

(44:50) How do I balance being a present father, fiancé and working, while also trying to take care of myself in order to take better care of my family?

(48:40) How does this quote from John, relate to what you offered those who attended the Legacy event?

Eldredge says “Boyhood Above all else, is a time of being the beloved son, the apple of your father’s eye. A time of affirmation. For though I maintain my premise laid out in Wild at Heart—that every man shares the same core Question, which is “Do I have what it takes?”— Before and beneath that Question in a man’s search for validation lies a deeper need—to know that he is prized, delighted in, that he is the beloved son.”

Anytime you mention the word, “politics,” you know you’re in for a charged and polarizing conversation but it’s crucial we talk more about politics and the policy that comes with it because it impacts every facet of our lives.

My guest today, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, joins me to talk about the key issues impacting culture and society today including a healthy approach to reaching across the aisle, why it’s important for conservatives to have a voice in what we typically view as liberal issues, not only the far left but the far right – something he calls, “woke conservatism,” the importance of humility and open-mindedness, and distinguishing between politics and policy.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Prioritizing in politics
• The downside of rank contrarianism
• Pursuing rational environmentalism
• Red flag laws and gun control
• Men’s tendency to gravitate toward negative information
• Lack of critical thinking and humility in America
• Negative consequences of playing around with politics
• We don’t need another AOC
• Victimhood is seen as an attribute in society

All of us want to be happy and successful and, yet, for many of us it seems so far away or so hard, if not impossible, to obtain. But my guest today, the one and only Ed Mylett, makes the case in his newest book, The Power of One More, that what we ultimately desire is not all that far away at all but perhaps just one more decision, step, conversation, or action away.

Today, Ed and I talk about how to develop that mindset, why being “rich” does not necessarily equal having money, the difference between confidence and arrogance, why it’s crucial we identify our value systems, the power of equanimity, pursuing progress, and taking inventory of our lives.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Its easy for men to get discouraged
• Arrogance vs healthy confidence
• Don’t attach your identify to the external
• Knowing the line between serving others and serving yourself
• Can anger serve us?
• Learning how to channel your emotions
• An awareness of a challenge helps it lose its power over you
• The ultimate confirmation does not come from a human being
• Pursuing progress, not perfection
• Reframe what it means to miss things with your kids
• Sometimes you need to be “creatively present”

I think most of us believe there is a reason we’re here on this planet. But I personally know how hard it can be to uncover and discover the reason that is. It seems daunting considering how easily we can become consumed with trivial matters and the distractions of modern culture and society.

But my guest today, Eric Thomas (AKA, The Hip Hop Preacher), has been helping millions of people around the world ignite their power and purpose. Today, ET and I talk about overcoming the “passive boy,” becoming more of who you are – not a clone of someone else, why you don’t need the world to approve to succeed, the battle between the “two you’s,” and finding immense opportunity in crisis.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Criticism often reflects one’s own insecurity
• Getting what we want isn’t necessarily getting what we need
• Learning from others rather than being them
• Know what self-actualization means to you
• Having a relationship with God
• You need both God and money
• Taking personal responsibility for your life

Most of us would like to believe that in a moment we are called to make a stand on our principles, we would do it without hesitation. But can we say for certain we would act in accordance with what we believe when confronted with the risk of social alienation, ostracization from our friends and family, potential loss of a job, and the financial insecurity that comes with it?

That’s exactly what my guest, NBA star Jonathan Isaac, had to deal with when he decided to stand for the National Anthem when all of his teammates took a knee during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd case. Today, we talk about his decision to do so, why people place labels on and attempt to dehumanize others, facing your fears by walking with Christ, the power of social media and group think, and becoming bold as lions.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Choosing to make a stand
• Loving each other the way that God loves us
• Highly emotional situations require restraint
• Hypocrisy in the faith
• Racism is cured by a change in someones heart
• The message often gets lost in a protest
• When God’s plan doesn’t align with our plan
• Staying in your lane while being authentic to yourself

Last week, at Origin Immersion Camp, I had the opportunity to sit down with my good friend, former Navy SEAL, and director of experiential leadership training programs for Echelon Front, JP Dinnell. We didn’t have a lot of time but we got into some subjects that him and I have never discussed before and I know you’re going to get a ton of value from

We talk about the relationship between trust and influence, allowing the people you lead to come up with solutions to their own problems, why you need to avoid creating dependency from others and how to do that, the concept of working, “up and out,” teaching how to think vs. what to think, and how to pray and work with intent.

I’ve spent a ton of time over the past several weeks really contemplating my performance and how I’m showing up both personally and professionally for my family, friends, and those of you who tune into what we’re doing here with Order of Man.

Today, we talk about the differences between liking and loving yourself and which is better to strive for, why we have to be careful of stamping ourselves as failures, how to uncover false beliefs burned in our subconscious, the power of identifying our value systems, and how to move away from the “pseudo self” to the “solid self.”

One of the greatest challenges we face as men is finding a like-minded band of brothers we can rely on when needed and we can serve as they need us. In the ease of modernity, we’ve been led to believe we can and have to go at life alone. That just isn’t the case.

My guest today is the President of F3 Nation, whom a lot of you are familiar with. His name is Frank Schwartz and he goes by the nickname, “Dark Helmet.” Today, Frank and I talk about the power of fitness, fellowship, and faith in a man’s life, overcoming the feeling of dissatisfaction, becoming a high-impact man, our desperation for love and recognition (yes, even in men), and the positive benefits of engaging in dangerous, dirty, and difficult pursuits.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Helping men find their mission
• Providing structure to men through fitness
• Strengthening the relationship with yourself, others, and your creator
• What the church is supposed to feel like

You know as well as I do all the cultural dangers ourselves, families, and communities are presented with. And, as much as we’d like to pin it on some politician or outside factor beyond our control, the bigger issue is that the greatest threat is ourselves and our unwillingness to face the challenges that we see.

My guest today is Kirk Cameron. He is an actor and is most well-known for his character, Mike Seaver on the 80’s hit sitcom, Growing Pains. Today, Kirk and I talk about what he dubs the “moral meat grinder,” why direction is more important that perfection, the power of divine intervention and guidance, the deconstruction of society, and how to become a man of faith and character.

We’ve all begun to see the writing on the wall as it pertains to the loss in American manufacturing and the damage to the American supply chain. Continually, we have experienced losing jobs, harder to find items from toilet paper and baby formula to increasing concerns over Taiwan’s domination over the semiconductor market, and increasing costs for everyday goods and services.

His name is Pete Roberts and he is the founder of OriginUSA which has dedicated itself to making all of their goods and products in America by Americans. Today, we talk about ever-changing market dynamics and how to stay ahead of the curve, why it’s crucial we honor our past manufacturing heritage, building what Pete calls, a “blockchain of manufacturing,” the power of the “blue collar mindset,” and fully unlocking American Potential.

I think whether you’re willing to acknowledge it or not, we are most definitely facing a crisis of our young men. From incarceration and suicide rates, to substance abuse issues, to failing and lagging societal metrics, it’s safe (and, extremely tragic) to say that our boys are fighting an uphill battle.

My guest today is Dr. Warren Farrell, the author of The Boy Crisis and many other books written to explore society from the lens of both women and men. Today, we talk about the dangers of lacking structure and purpose, how the “dad-style” vs. the “mom-style” of parenting actually creates awareness and empathy, how dopamine secretion and other physiological responses assist boys and men in doing the right thing, and the dangers and destructive results of “dad-deprivation.”

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Having the skillsets to be able to confront and to be compassionate
• Discussing the best way to measure success
• Teaching children to be empathetic
• Why social skills are so important for boys
• Fathers are critical in teaching postponed gratification
• How boys benefit from a mother’s involvement
• Is it possible to “have it all” in career and parenting success
• How single moms can get male involvement

• Receiving pushback from the start
• Advantages and disadvantages of building an organization at a young age

As men, we all look around and see the problems that exist in society. But very few of us are willing to objectively look at what’s going on in our culture relative to the lesson we should have learned from examples throughout history. Couple that with our inability and/or lack of desire to improve our own situations and circumstances and it makes a recipe for disaster.

My guest today is my close personal friend, Andy Frisella, and today we talk about his shift away from the MFCEO podcast to the RealAF podcast, why we need to be cognizant of the convenience vs. efficiency, learning to push the envelope, the obligation to evolve, and how you can adopt the “get better until you die,” mentality.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Building efficiencies in your life
• Keep your struggles and challenges in context
• Balancing quality of life with making more money
• We are being indoctrinated to settle for less
• Shifting from MFCEO to the Real AF podcast
• We are starting to outsmart the false media narratives
• America is designed to be a free society
• We can change the culture in one year

Today, we talk about the purpose of suffering, making the decision to make yourself into something more, why working harder than others will always produces results, finding mentorship and friendship, dealing with negativity from others, his new book Endure, and why every man ought to embrace the mantra, “Train Hard, Hunt Easy.”

• Learning to navigate time on your own
• Being motivated to “find your limit”
• Dealing with doubts despite success
• Creating bonds through hardship
• Using your strengths to inspire people and gain credibility
• The easy path never leads to anything great
• Determining which opportunities to pursue
• Why stay at a “normal job” when you don’t have to
• Running shoe companies becoming too “woke”
• Finding motivation by having a chip on your shoulder
• Providing an American-made option for hunting gear with Origin

Life never presents us with a linear path to success. Often, the journey is marred with failures, obstacles, setbacks, challenges, and detours. It’s what we do in the face of the inevitable that determines the level of satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives.

My guest today is a Master Bladesmith (in fact, he was able to achieve that status younger than anyone else in history), and the founder of Josh Smith Knives and Montana Knife Company. Today, Josh and I talk about his personal journey from forging knives in his teens, to working as lineman thinking he was making the right move for his family, then back to where it all started as we works to build the next great knife company from the ground up. We cover paying attention to the little things, the mixed emotions of starting a company, developing a powerful team culture, and finding confidence when you don’t have any experience.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Knife making as a kid
• A little bit of early luck
• Its good to have influence from a variety of men
• Transitioning from hand made to “production” knives
• Pivoting to keep providing for the family
• Business can skyrocket when you go all in
• Factors for fast growth and success
• You have to act or you lose credibility
• Its great to be able to give back
• Being responsible when pursuing your dream
• A lot of men lack a vision for the future
• Support at home is extremely important
• You have to have confidence in yourself

Terry Crews joins me on the podcast today to talk about some very powerful topics focused on developing masculine power. I believe that you’d all agree that Terry embodies what we typically think of when we think about masculinity.

But today we dive deep into his true sense of power, his struggles with past anger issues and pornography, how to not only be physically strong but build mental and emotional strength, avoiding being baited in uncontrollable situations, what it means to “misuse masculinity,” and overcoming shame, insecurity, and fear.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Forgiveness is needed for true reconciliation
• You can either have success or revenge
• True power is the ability to control your own emotions
• Using motivation as revenge leaves scars
• You have to challenge your own thinking
• Hollywood doesn’t care if you lose your family
• Loving your family vs. controlling them
• Traits of masculinity
• Toxic masculinity is really just abuse of power
• Masculinity is about being a servant and providing
• Intimacy is more satisfying than just sex
• Being the “bigger man” vs. being a little bitch
• Power is exercising restraint
• An effective movement must start with reconciliation
• We are more alike than different

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:

• Do what you believe in and everything else will handle itself
• What to look for in people in your inner circle
• Always practice gratitude

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?
• Go to school to learn things that matter

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

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 just don’t want to like you
• Being respected is more important than being liked
• The relationship between serving God and living your own life
• Sharing the Gospel through our actions
• God provides when we need it most
• We should both rely on God and work hard

• Living life on your own terms

It’s easy to be on edge these days. With so much nonsense going on in the world from political protests, government overreach, cancel culture, everyone being offended by everything, and a myriad of other issues that aren’t really all that important in the grand scheme of things, it’s hard to find a sense of peace that I think most of us would really like to have in our lives.

Today, I’m joined by a man that has seemed to not only find it but is so uniquely comfortable and sure of who he is that you can’t help but be intrigued and fascinated about how he’s done it. His name is Phil Robertson (you may know him from Duck Dynasty). Today, we talk about the power of love, justice and mercy, the power of hope, finding confidence in who you are, discovering the true nature of people, and so much more (he even does some bird calling for me with his signature calls). And, we also get into why Phil was canceled and how he’s taking it all in stride.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Finding answers in the Bible
• Difference between child of God and child of the devil
• Loving your enemies
• Finding meaning in peace
• Finding Jesus is the smartest move I’ve ever made
• Hate WHAT is evil, not WHO is evil
• How to not alienate non-believers
• Why is the Gospel so threatening
• Standing by your convictions

My guest today, Justin Wren, is no exception as he has found his life’s working in serving the Pygmy People in Africa.

The truth is something a lot of people aren’t interested in hearing these days. Increasingly, we’ve let how we feel about current events become the primary factor for our responses to them. But there are a handful of vocal individuals fighting back and sharing the truth in spite of how it may hurt some people’s feelings and threaten their dangerous ideologies.

My guest is one of those individuals. His name is Adam Carolla and I know a lot of you are already familiar with the great work he’s doing in comedy and podcasting. Today, Adam and I talk about the attack on comedy, what he refers to as “chick think,” why not all opinions carry the same weight, and how to get over what other people think of us.

Life is tough for everyone, some more than others. It’s not a question of whether or not we have or will face adversity but a matter of how we bear it that counts.

We’re all focused right now on producing maximum results. And, while most men will likely bow out of their resolutions in the next 30 days, it still makes a ton of sense to consider what new habits and actions you can implement on your path to change your life.

That’s why I wanted to have my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ryan Hawk back on the podcast. He’s got a new book coming out that I highly recommend: The Pursuit of Excellence: Uncommon Behaviors of the World’s Most Productive Achievers. Today, Ryan and I cover why we should focus on long-term results over short-term gains, privilege and nepotism and how to tip the odds in your favor, the difference between being liked and being respected, how to find meaning and joy in the climb, and how to achieve excellence in your life.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Most people are not willing to put in the consistent work to be successful
• What keeps people from deviating from the path?
• Creating your own education
• How to build relationships if you feel like you have nothing to add

• Understand that you might be wrong
• Politicians: influencers or policy makers?

I think everyone knows that that we are all judged, to some degree, by our appearance and how we present ourselves. You don’t have to like it and you don’t have to think it’s fair but it’s the truth. And, yet, so many of us (myself included) overlook the importance our physical aesthetic when it comes to presenting ourselves well.

My guest today is long-time friend, repeat guest, and men’s style coach, Tanner Guzy. Today, Tanner and I talk about utilizing clothing as an extension of you, the Aesthetic Overton Window and how it impacts what we wear, why you need to avoid being one-dimensional in the way you present yourself, why dressing well isn’t at all about suits and skinny jeans, and, ultimately, how you can garner influence by improving your presence.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• The portrayal of style and fashion in pop culture
• We have made heroes out of the court jesters
• Social conditioning has influenced men’s attitude toward fashion
• Appearance matters when leading others
• You can be both the warrior and the intellectual
• Make small tweaks instead of taking it to the extreme
• Your appearance should mirror your capabilities
• Don’t let your appearance undermine your credibility
• How to start making changes
• Find a style and brand that works and stick with it
• How do you know when you look good?
• “Getting away with” dressing inappropriately
• The aesthetic Overton window

Most of us, when formulating an opinion or perspective about a cultural issue tend to look at one side of the story – myself included. But if we have any chance of making societal and cultural changes that actually improve our way of life, it’s crucial that we look at what we see from all sides.

That’s what my guest today, Brandon Tatum, and I talk about – seeing problems from all angles and waiting for all the information before formulating opinions. We cover the Kyle Rittenhouse and Ahmaud Arbery cases, the dangers of the “Defund the Police” movement and what, if any reform in policing is needed, whether or not systemic racism actually exists, our emotions and our responses to them, use of force laws, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Online vs. offline conversations
• Context is often lacking, or overlooked, in online posts
• There are ALWAYS two sides to every story
• Young men must learn to harness their masculinity
• People have had to die so that we can have conversations about equality
• You WANT to face adversity, so that you can become better
• You choose how you view any situation
• Double standards in race and politics
• Pressures of being a black police officer
• We’re in a police depression
• Room for improvement in law enforcement
• If something sounds crazy…do more research
• Never make a decision after hearing only one side of an argument

It’s no surprise that the family court system is stacked against men. Millions of men are, quite literally, fighting for their rights and the rights of their children. But I don’t think most men, unless you’ve fallen prey to the courts, know just how deep and deceitful it is.

Today, I am once again joined by Greg Ellis, the author of The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law. He shares with me his story of how, after 20 years of marriage, he found himself incarcerated based on false accusations from his ex-wife, how he has been fighting for his children, the deep corruption inside Family Law, how fatherhood is in the crosshairs of culture, and what he’s been doing to expose the truth.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• The joy is in the journey, not the destination
• Corruption in the family court system
• Both men and women can be good and evil
• The solution is being truthful
• Are you adding to the noise by listening to it?
• Judiciary involved in child trafficking
• Greatest threat to western civilization is the breakdown of the family
• The burden of living grief
• Moral hypocrisy

Extreme violence is something not all of us are likely to face, and that’s a good thing. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen at the drop of a hat. And, in that moment, it is significantly better to be prepared and aware of what could happen than to be ignorant to it completely.

And, that is where my guest today, Doug Marcaida, comes in. He is a martial artist, edge-weapons specialist, and knife designer. And, he is one of the judges on the extremely popular History Channel show, Forged in Fire.

Today we talk about creating a home as a safe environment for your family, the culture of violence, martial arts and their efficacy, curbing the beast inside of us all, the concept of “verbal judo,” and ultimately how to temper violence though skill and familiarity.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Making home the safe place for your kids
• You don’t have to be like your parents
• Finding comfort in the practice of martial arts
• The predators are always armed
• Make your fear your strength
• We are armed all the time
• You should not take martial arts to become violent
• Using martial marts to transition from the military
• We have to weigh our principles 
• Deescalate by using humor

There is so much wisdom to be found all around us and, yet, so many of us are so consumed with the minutiae of life that we never take any amount of time to pause, reflect, and consider the ageless wisdom that could drastically alter the course of our lives.

But it’s the ability to stop, ponder, and critically think about the situations we find ourselves in that will get you on the path you have a desire to walk. And, today, I am joined by the host of the Modern Wisdom Podcast, Chris Williamson, to discuss things like the power of curiosity, how to graduate from your current friends, how mental masturbation is holding you back, why you need to find ways to break up the monotony of your life, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Overcoming the “adult infant”
• Recognizing worth outside of your accomplishments
• The problem with insecurity and fear as a motivator
• Having faith and confidence in your future self
• The importance of how we frame a situation in our minds

There is no question that America is in turmoil right now. Between nationwide shortages of supplies, the unpopularity of our current President, the reaction and subsequent fallout of COVID, and the extreme polarity among so many of us, it’s clear that we’re likely to face some challenging times ahead. The questions that remain are, “Are you ready?” and, “Will you be able to protect, provide, and preside over you and yours?”

That’s exactly why I’ve been looking forward to the conversation with my guest, Mike Glover with Fieldcraft Survival and American Contingency. Today, we talk about building the next generation of warriors, the importance of service to community, the degradation and destruction of the family unit, “endless wars,” the turmoil in Afghanistan (which most of us have already forgotten), and how to be a man in and for your community.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• What is being done in Afghanistan
• The degradation of Christian values
• The origins of Fieldcraft Survival
• Behind the curtains of the CIA
• Central government versus the people
• It is our role to assist the world
• Extreme incompetence or extreme intentionality
• Shipping troubles and Chinese involvement
• Developing a community of assets
• Become the solution to your own problem

Hunting has started to gain some serious traction over the past several years. With notable influencers like Joe Rogan, Cameron Hanes, and John Dudley all advocating for the benefits of connecting with your food source, it’s easy to see why so many have become interested in the process.

Today, John and I talk about how social media has both been helping and hurting the cause of hunting, why there is such a surge in the hunting space, why – if you want to get into hunting yourself – you need to take initiative, the beautiful responsibility outdoorsmen have, and the proficiencies men need to develop to become successful in harvesting wild game.

• Instagram hunting vs. reality
• Finding common ground with vegans and vegetarians
• Building the best outdoor gear you can get

Work/life balance is a term that gets thrown around all the time. And, although I believe it’s a bit of a misnomer, there is no question that finding the proper allocation of time, attention, and resources towards professional and personal pursuits is on plenty of men’s minds.

That’s why I’m stoked to finally be sitting down with my friend, Jesse Itzler. Jesse is someone who, in spite of his tremendous professional success, has managed to become an incredibly committed and devoted husband and father. Today, we talk about why that is and how he has been able to make that happen using very specific strategies and system (which he shares during our conversation), pursuing unique and interesting ventures, finding one challenging adventure to take part in each and every year, and how to live a life optimized.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Kids are on their own journey
• How do we hold ourselves accountable as parents
• Embracing challenge and building your “life resume”
• As you evolve, your life system evolves
• Importance of morning and evening routines
• Jesse’s system for life optimization
• Speeding up the process
• Living like a monk
• Dealing with disappointment
• Don’t give up what you have for what you want

My guest today needs no introduction. His name is Ben Shapiro and he is likely one of the most polarizing guests that I’ve had on since we started podcasting 6 years ago. But regardless of what you may think about him and his stances on the world’s most pressing concerns, these are exactly the types of challenging conversations we should be having.

Today, we cover a lot of ground including Ben’s new book, The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America’s Institutions Against Dissent. We also discuss the shifting Overton Window in politics, using logic over feelings to create solutions, why many people are “too nice” and losing the cultural battle, and where one needs to draw the line on government overreach.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Most Americans don’t feel comfortable saying what they want to say
• Most corporations want to avoid controversy
• People in the middle tend to cave to the louder side
• The left has overshot their mark
• Social media rewards the most radical
• The problem with broadly defining problems
• We have to play by the rules we have agreed upon
• The Federal government has grown beyond its intended size
• Potential inciting incidents that could lead to permanent fragmentation
• How do we shift the tides in culture and society

The world (and our social media accounts) are flooded with a false sense of bravado, machismo, and the “alpha” mentality from men who, when you peel back the layers, are dealing with some very difficult and challenging experiences and struggles.

Unfortunately, many of them have never learned to deal with these experiences head on and end up doing a lot of mental and emotional damage to themselves and others along the way.

My guest today, is Jason Wilson, the author of Battle Cry: Waging and Winning the War Within. Today, Jason and I discuss why men have a hard time addressing and dealing with these wounds, the difference between being worried and being concerned, his own experiences with unhealed trauma, what it means to be a comprehensive man, a four-part framework for mastering your emotions, and how you can and should embrace in your inner lion and lamb.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• The world needs the lion and the lamb
• No such thing as negative emotions
• Mastering your emotions
• It’s ok for men to release through tears
• Worrying is different than concern
• The importance of staying in the moment
• The difference between being assertive and being aggressive
• Admiring the strength of women
• Ruling your own emotions allows you to communicate better

Needless to say, there has been a tremendous amount of turmoil and division in America over the past several years. This isn’t new in the history of the United States but it seems to me that we, as citizens, are more divided than we’ve ever been on a myriad of issues from foreign policy, to COVID restrictions and mandates, to gun legislation and healthcare, and everywhere in between.

And, my guest today has a lot to say about these issues and more. And, not ironically, I’m sure people will be very divided on this conversation as well. His name is Representative Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL and Representative for the state of Texas. Today, we discuss the new COVID measures announced by President Biden last week, foreign affairs and the threat of terrorism (including everything happening in Afghanistan right now), why our emotional responses to these issues are getting us into trouble and putting us in danger, and why we all need to be more informed rather than ignorant on the most pressing issues of today.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Discussing the government response to COVID
• Balancing being empathetic with being rational
• Why get into politics and how does it change people
• Thoughts on leaving Afghanistan - what is an acceptable cost?
• Most people have not known war for 20 years, they have known peace
• Biden got lucky that the Taliban took over so quickly
• The proper way to look at healthcare
• We need more confidence in our arguments

Increasingly, it seems to be that we’re losing much of the common sense that we, collectively, once possessed. Common sense has been replaced with quick sounds bites, “clapbacks” on social media, and manufactured outraged designed to drive clicks and capture eyeballs and attention.

But my guest today is using his voice, social media, and any other platform available to share his common sense, rational approach to some of the world’s most pressing concerns. His name is Zuby and I know many of you are already very familiar with his work. Today, we talk about the dangers of tribalism, the motives and intentions of our government overlords and elites, how to have real conversations that actually drive change, why empathy is crucial in dialogue, and how to recapture common sense in uncommon times.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• You can only do so much thinking by yourself
• There are three ways to solve any conflict
• Effective communication is a super power
• We’re all susceptible to group think
• What it means to live in a free society
• Fear and anxiety shuts down rational thinking
• The importance of understanding the perspectives of other people
• Focus the conversation on where we agree, rather than disagree
• Don’t fall for media propaganda
• The bias is often hidden in what people “don’t” say
• Being wrong is different than lying
• Everybody is a moral monster to someone else

Gentlemen, I cannot tell you how stoked I am to have my guest on today, Mr. Michael Chandler. If you’re not already familiar with who he is, Chandler is a three-time Bellator MMA Champion who only recently made his debut in the UFC after long-time speculation of him making the switch to UFC.

On top of all of that, Michael is a devoted family man and we spent about half of our conversation talking about what it means for him to be a husband and father. We also cover overcoming a very public loss, why every man ought to bet on himself, three traps to avoid when on the losing side of the equation, Chandler’s upcoming fight in November, and the conflicting aspirations of being a family man and fighter.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Being selfish in training so you can be selfless with your family
• Grinding until we’re 50
• Anticipating and avoiding regret
• The importance of making your partner the best person they can be
• In relationships, it all comes down to communication
• Taking chances on yourself
• What do you do when you fall short
• Be your authentic self
• Praying for wisdom and discernment
• Success not perfection
• We follow people because they are willing to take chances
• Fighting for a living, while living a Christian life
• The importance of having a long term perspective
• Embracing the process should be the goal

Frankly, gents, I don’t even know what to say about this conversation. It was a powerful discussion from a man who has been through hell and back to fight for not only who he is as a man but as a father of his children.

His name is Greg Ellis and, although you may not recognize his name, you have definitely seen him on the Silver Screen. Today we talk about the true purpose of vulnerability, why social media should be called “anti-social media,” the crisis of meaning that modern society is facing, and why fatherhood is in the crosshairs.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Using social media as a tool
• Appreciating art, literature, and sports
• We are not entitled to success
• Drawing inspiration from challenge
• Society devaluing the “male”
• The importance of an earned merit system
• Competition versus cooperation
• The most influential person gets to establish and enforce the rules
• Don’t count your victory while the game is still being played
• We have to let kids deal with their own hardship
• Boys raised with a dad tend to be more purpose driven
• The value of “empowerment feminism”
• The inequality of the equality movement
• We need to challenge moral hypocrisy
• Getting set for part 2 of the conversation

Every one of us intuitively knows that getting stronger is the right thing to do. It quite literally improves every facet of our lives from the influence we can develop with others, to the energy needed to build a business, and the stamina and mental fortitude needed to raise and lead a family. Why, then, do so many men slack in this department?

My guest, Sal Di Stefano, and I talk about that today. He is an expert in strength training and the author of The Resistance Training Revolution. We discuss the chronic health issues of today’s modern man, cardio vs. strength training, developing testosterone naturally, the traits of admirable men, and how to burn fat and get stronger.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Why men are not doing what they know they should be doing
• What resistance training is…and IS NOT
• Understanding calories and how our bodies adapt
• Why it makes sense to “get jacked”
• You have to enjoy or at least value the process
• All forms of activity, if applied appropriately, have value
• Longevity and resistance training
• Resistance training and increasing testosterone
• The “alphas” are the ones who could lay the smack down but don’t
• The effect of resistance training on political views

I had the opportunity to visit with Representative Madison Cawthorn with my family in DC last week and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We got a chance to tour the Capitol Building and get a small glimpse inside the world of politics and DC. But we also had the chance to sit down in his office and throw down the podcast you’re about to listen to.

We talk about the world of politics, why, while politics is fast-paced, very little seems to get accomplished on the Hill, how we as men can be informed without immersing ourselves in the political arena and theater that comes with it, the world of outrage, and, at the end of the day, what we as men need to do to keep this country on track.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Most politicians come to DC with noble intentions
• Its important (and fun) to play the political game
• Term limits on congress
• Values-based rather than issue-based representation
• How to avoid corruption while being surrounded by it
• Don’t be defined by your challenges
• Working with people you don’t like
• The balance between speaking in a bold way and avoiding extremism
• Using a lack of a filter as strategy
• The benefits of surrounding yourself with people who will call you out
• Disappointment is the most challenging thing about being in DC
• What is the political leadership doing right?
• Time for the silent majority to wake up
• A term limit bill that actually has a chance
• Eliminating federal income tax

Our innate pursuit of comfort is the enemy of achievement and, yet, we’ve failed collectively to keep our biological hardwiring to seek the path of least resistance in check. Why is that? Why is it that we know we should seek discomfort yet find it so difficult to do?

That’s the topic of my conversation today with Michael Easter, the author of The Comfort Crisis. Today, Michael and I discuss the damage of helicopter and “snow plow” parenting, the psychological programming that keeps us from achievement, the concept of Mysogi and embracing annual challenges, how a healthy relationship with death keeps people fulfilled, and ultimately what you can do to overcome the Comfort Crisis that permeates every fabric of society.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• Life really isn’t that hard
• Parents seeking guidance from, rather thank giving guidance to, their kids
• Snow plow parenting
• Measuring happiness
• The value in considering your own death
• Challenges are required for true happiness
• Finding the balance between seeking comfort and challenging ourselves
• Why do we need to exercise

If you turn on the news or any social media apps, you’re likely to be met with a myriad of fantastic headlines, the latest political scandal, racial tensions, violence, or any number of issues these outlets use to get our attention. Of course, most of this is exaggerated to get us worked up without providing any real solutions to some of the issues that actually exist.

My guest today, Suresh Madhaven, and I begin to break down some of these issues and work towards unpacking and discussing solutions rather than focus on the outrage that is used against us. We talk about the importance of men’s rites of passages, breaking down the concept of systemic racism, crying wolf on the real issues, movements against masculinity, and the role of men in a fatherless society.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• A boy’s coming-of-age
• Defining systemic racism
• The term “white privilege”
• The real victims of racism
• The greatest lie being told
• The lack of police training
• Steps to avoid the police
• Framework to live your life

We’ve all heard people say, “You’ve got to pay your dues” or the concept of the 10,000-hour rule. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could skip the line, so to speak, and accelerate the results of your life while everyone else stands in line simply waiting for their turn.

That’s what my guest today, the one and only James Altucher, and I discuss – how to use the concept of 10,000 experiments, not 10,000 hours. We talk about why “stay in your lane” is bad advice, how to become the top 1% in your field much more efficiently, how to become an idea-generating machine, harnessing the power of “idea sex,” and how to creatively add value to others so you can win faster.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• The importance of good storytelling
• Why you should NOT stay in your lane
• Caring what the right people think
• The Concept of 10,000 hours
• The upside of experimenting 
• Dividing your skills into micro-skills
• How to generate new ideas
• Finding and creating new opportunities
• How to never run out of ideas

Most of you are probably aware of Matthew McConaughey and his new book, Greenlights. I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant to read the book myself (I explain why to Matthew in this podcast), but after hearing from enough people that I had to read it, I decided to pick up a copy and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

So, when I had the opportunity to have Matthew join me on the podcast, I jumped at the chance. We talk about many important topics in this conversation and really hit on fatherhood as we’re approaching Father’s Day. We also discuss the power of being the underdog, reinventing yourself, the value of sacrifice, taking our fathers off pedestals they don’t belong, and the concept and benefit of greenlights.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Gambling and investing in yourself
• Having the choice to be a victim
• Putting your father on a pedestal
• Rituals and initiations with your child
• Living in complacency and comfort
• Why American needs a civics class
• The value of playing the long game
• Course correcting your children
• Realizing that you’re immortal
