You may not have been blessed with strength, smarts, good looks, wealth, or connections. But none of that matters. What matters is that you have 100% control over your level of discipline. And, discipline is the great equalizer.

Today, Kipp Sorensen and I talk about why it's critical we embrace suffering, our take on Free Masonry, the power of rituals and traditions, and how to overcome past regrets.
These questions come from our Patreon members, Iron Council brothers, and Facebook group members.
Gentlemen, I've got a bit of a different one lined up for you today as I have a conversation with the very first fictional author we've had on the podcast. His name is Jack Carr and he is the author of The Terminal List (which is an incredible book) and his upcoming book, True Believer.
Jack is a former Navy SEAL turned fictional writer and today we discuss his transition from the military, the inspiration for his series of books, an inside look at the writing process, the amount of research goes into creating this type of work, and a whole lot more.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
JACK CARR
Guys, it's my pleasure to introduce you to a friend of mine, Jack Carr. You know how there are just certain people that you know when you meet them are going to be great friends?
That's how I felt when Jack opened up his home to me and we had an incredibly powerful conversation (which you'll hear part of).
He is a former task unit commander in the Navy SEALS with over 20 years of experience leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan (that's part of the reason his book is so realistic). As I mentioned before, he left the SEALs and has since gone on to fulfill a second childhood dream, becoming an author.

Over the past several months, it's likely that you've seen more archery and bow hunting pictures and topics from me. That's because, for the last year, I've really begun to immerse myself in becoming better bow hunter.
That said, I've gotten so many requests and questions about archery that I thought it only made sense to bring the best person on I could think of to talk about it. His name is John Dudley and he is the founder of Nock On Archery. Today, we talk about what makes a natural archer, understanding the importance of eye dominance, why coaching is so critical, and the pros and cons of new technology.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
Introduction to the School of Nock
The pros and cons of social media
Why humility in coaching is critical
What Dudley means by "archery entertainment"
Why every archer needs to learn to be more present
How social media has opened up archery coaching
Why Dudley has always wanted to coach, and why his team didn't always want him to
What makes a natural archer
Why every archer needs to work on physical fitness
The importance of eye dominance in archery
When technology takes away from the sport of archery
How to create meaning and legacy through coaching
How John's restraint is his strength
JOHN DUDLEY
My guest today is a repeat guest and someone who I know a lot of you are already familiar with.
His name is John Dudley and he is the founder of Nock On Archery where he coaches archers and makes some of the best products on the market. He's coached guys like Joe Rogan, Andy Stumpf, Jocko Willink, and so many more, including me.
Yes, this is a conversation centered around archery but I want you to listen closely because John and I go so much deeper than what type of bow you should buy and what your stance should look like. This is truly a podcast about not only becoming a better archer/bow hunter but a better man.

We've come to a very sad and quite pathetic point where the so-called "victims" dictate the tone of the conversation and direction of society. Today, I tell you why we all ought to reject the trend and what we, as men, should be doing instead.

Pornography is something that all men have likely engaged in to some degree. What's fascinating is the debate that ensues whenever someone suggests that pornography is not good for men.
My guest today, JK Emezi, makes the case for why we ought to engage in pornography and masturbating less, how to overcome the urge to participate in these activities, how the temptation is only likely to get work, and how porn erodes and undermines masculinity.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
J.K EMEZI
My guest today is J.K Emezi.
He is a Sex and Pornography Addiction Coach and has been for the last 9 years and he specializes in helping men overcome porn, masturbation, and other sexually compulsive disorders.
This is a fascinating discussion with someone who is well qualified to address the sexual issues a lot of men deal with.
He's written for our site before and one of his articles happens to be one of the most controversial of ours to date as he covers a topic that a lot of men aren't comfortable in discussing and one that remains very polarizing to a lot of men.

It's painfully obvious that men are becoming weaker both physically and mentally. A large part of it may have to do with the changing landscape of our day-to-day lives but that doesn't negate the need for strong men in an otherwise weak society.
Today I talk about the ways we're becoming weaker, the antidote to weakness, and issue a challenge to join me in the War on Weakness.

I know a lot of men who listen to the podcast are interested in turning a simple idea into a movement much like we've created here at Order of Man. And, more than simply a movement, finding a way to turn that movement into a profitable career and source of income.
My guest today, Brian Rose with London Real, has done exactly that by bringing together and discussing ideas with the most interesting people in the world. Today, Brian and I talk about crafting your own story, developing the "X-Factor," how to create a product ecosystem, and how to ultimately build a profitable movement.

"Man up" is a term that is likely to trigger a lot of people in the world today. It's too bad because the term is so misunderstood by society and so powerful when there is a clear understanding of what it actually means.
My guest today, Mr. Bedros Keuilian, talks with us about what that means and how to instill the meaning into our boys, how to lead yourself more effectively, assessing and analyzing risk, overcoming bad programming and each and every one of us can more effectively "man up" in our lives.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
BEDROS KEUILIAN
Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce you to our repeat guest, Bedros Keuilian.
I was so blown away with his my first conversation with him and his story that I thought it only made sense to bring him back on considering he just released a new book called, Man Up: How to Cut the Bullshit and Kick Ass in Business (and in Life).
Bedros is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and author and one of my favorite people to talk to because of his no-nonsense approach to life. I really think you're going to enjoy this episode because he tells it like it is and says the things most people are thinking but too afraid to say.
Guys, get your notepads out and get ready to hear from a man who has come from nothing and turned his into an absolutely incredible life.

Today, I talk about a man's responsibility to be a good steward over himself, his resources, and those he has an obligation for. Too many men today are living the antithesis of a good steward by shirking personal responsibility and accountability in their lives. I also break down 5 keys to being a great steward:
- Produce More Than You Consume
- Think Generationally
- A Title is Not Necessary
- Become a Sentinel
- Operate From a Sense of Duty and Obligation

Every once in a while, you meet someone so special you know you need to connect more with that person. Today, I have the opportunity to share my conversation with one of those people, Sidney Smith.
I met him briefly at a 5k then spent a couple hours hiking down a mountainside while shooting our bows at the Total Archery Challenge. That doesn't sound that special until you learn that Sid is a double amputee. and does his walking and running on prosthetic blades. We talk about overcoming fear, focusing on the positives of life, learning to appreciate what we have, getting used to pain, and turning tragedy into triumph.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
SIDNEY SMITH
A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to participate in the Total Archery Challenge in Northern Utah with my friends at MTN OPS.
I met a lot of great people but I had the incredible opportunity to run the course with my guest today, Mr. Sidney Smith. I had only bumped into him one other time but as I spent 3 or so hours walking down a mountain with Sid, a double amputee, I was amazed and humbled at how this man shows up in his life.
He's an avid bow hunter, a triathlete, and, as I mentioned before, he's a double amputee. But he doesn't let that keep him from living his life in a big way and inspiring others along the way to do the same.

10 years ago, I found myself listening to CDs from my guest while driving between financial advisory appointments. He had no idea how influential he would be in my life as I frustratingly attempted to build my first business.
10 years later, I have the privilege of having an incredibly powerful conversation with one of the most important people in my professional/business life, Mr. Ed Mylett. Today, we talk about over to overcome your greatest fears, the power of faith in your aspirations, how to unleash your greatest gifts and skills, and how to fully max out your life.

Gentlemen, I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to be introducing you to my guest today, Mr. Ed Mylett.
All of my conversations have been powerful but this one is a personal favorite of mine as Ed has had such a huge impact on my professional life. I started listening to him 10 years ago when I got back from Iraq and back then I had no idea I'd have the opportunity to talk with him on a podcast.
Most of you know exactly who Ed is so I'll spare you the long introduction. But let's just say for now that Ed is an incredible entrepreneur, a powerful coach and mentor to some of the most successful people on the planet, and the host and founder of the Ed Mylett Podcast. Today, you're going to hear exactly why I look up to this man and why he's achieved the tremendous amount of success he has.
