All of us know there’s gas left in the tank of our own personal performance. And, yet, with all the tasks and responsibilities we bear, the distractions to overcome, and our own ability to deceive ourselves, it’s challenging to meet the bare minimum at times let alone go above and beyond. So then, how exactly do we excel and produce the lives we desire for ourselves and our families. My guest today has the answers.
His name is Lex Robinson and he is a peak performance coach and mentor. Today, we talk about the concepts of “calendar worship,” “power down process,” and “religious unitasking.” We also discuss the benefits of learning how to communicate directly, removing unimportant distractions from our lives, getting clarity on what we desire, and so much more.

For many of you, this is the first Order of Man podcast you’ve ever listened to. For many of you, you’ve listened to all 1,100+ shows we’ve done. Regardless, what you may not know is that we’ve been at this mission – reclaim and restore masculinity – for almost 9 years.
And, I can’t think of a better way than to wind this year down as we ramp up for 2024 with a man, friend, and mentor who has been in the same game just as long as we have. His name is Larry Hagner, Founder of The Dad Edge, and, today, we talk about turning a passion into a profession, how we can best learn from our past, the key of forgiveness and what it unlocks in ourselves and others, how to raise each of our unique children, and how to create a men’s movement that matters.

Passion and delusion aren’t two terms we often think of working in harmony but my good friend and guest today, Bert Sorin, makes the case that some of the most successful people in the world are not only the most passionate but often believe (with no valid reason to) that they have what it takes to succeed.
Today, we talk about the ebbs and flows of life and improving the average between the two points, creating intentionality behind our actions, why EQ is oftentimes more important than IQ, holding back in life when we shouldn’t, and so much more.

Life is full of hard-learned lessons. We all know that. But it’s been said that, “A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” That’s why this podcast is so powerful – because we get to hear from incredible men doing incredible things who can teach us things that would be painful, delayed, and expensive to find out ourselves.
And, I can think of few men as qualified to do so as former NASA Astronaut, Mike Massimino. Today, Mike and I talk about some of his best lessons learned in the NASA program and in space including, “no one leaves the pool until everyone passes the test,” learning to adjust to life and your goals along the way, what was different about NASA astronaut candidates that made them successful, knowing when to pivot and break a few rules, and how to achieve the seemingly impossible.

We all know there is a formula for success in any venture. We’ve all heard things like, “success leaves clues,” and seen certain people replicate success over and over and over again. And, yet, so many men struggle to create and maintain success on the professional and personal front of their lives. That’s why it’s so important we learn what protocols are required to achieve the results we desire.
Today, I’m joined by philosopher and CEO, Brian Johnson to talk about his theory of Arete and why success on any level is so simple yet so elusive. We talk about what confidence in others actually is and how to develop it, how talent won’t get you all the way to your goals, why intrinsic motivation must be your pursuit, and the Stockdale Paradox and how to use it to your advantage.

Men, our minds are nearly limitless and yet we spend an inordinate amount of time reading, running, working out, practicing hobbies, talking with other people, performing as best we can across various mediums and take so little time developing the power of our brains and minds.
Of the nearly 500 guests I’ve had on this podcast, all of them believe their thing is the most important thing and, yet, it’s the mind that makes everything else possible. That’s why I wanted to have repeat guest, Jim Kwik back on the podcast to discuss how to leverage the gray matter between our ears. We talk about everything from learning to learn faster, the 6 thinking hats for decision making, 4 cognitive types (Cheetah, Owl, Dolphin, and Elephant) and how to use this information, and becoming the pilot of our minds, not just the passengers.

Every single man listening to this podcast sees issues with the current culture. And, yet, far too many men are unwilling to do anything about it. Whether it’s a disdain for current culture commentary or a bad case of apathy, ignoring what we see going on around us isn’t going to lead to anywhere positive.
My guest today, author and podcast host, Andrew Klavan, is a man who is and has been for decades actively engaged in dealing with the decline of our current culture through writing, producing films, and podcast commentary. Today, we talk about rationalization and justification for doing the wrong things, why so many people tap-dance around biological reality, why we’re losing this country through the movies, changing culture through art, when and when not to compromise, and viewing your own life as a work of art.

Am I the only one who isn’t crazy?! Sometimes it feels that way in the insane world we live in but there are millions of men who feel the same as we look around at what’s going on in society from gender ideology, to skirmishes and wars in distant countries, to domestic civil unrest, and everywhere in between.
Today, I’m joined by repeat guest, Zuby, as he’s one of those men speaking sanity into culture today. We talk about everything from finding life’s mission and purpose, to the dangers of AI, how the “crisis of meaning,” is a very dangerous threat, the pitfalls of “credentialism,” why learning to promote yourself is a virtuous endeavor, and walking the line between caring what some people think, but not everyone.
