When most of us think about leadership, we think about inspiring, motivating, and influencing others. But rarely do we think deeply about our vision for a business, organization, or family. Ironic considering vision is the foundation of inspiration, motivation, and influence.
Today, I am privileged to be joined by a man who has been a tremendous leader to me on my path to build and lead the Order of Man movement. We cover so much in this conversion including the importance of a “vision grid,” how to effectively respond to resistance, four characteristics of great leadership, the difference between your “circle of concern” and your “circle of influence,” and the power of vision-driven leadership.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
MICHAEL HYATT
My guest today is Michael Hyatt. He is an author, podcaster, speaker, and former chairman of Thomas Nelson publishing.
I came across Michael’s work years ago as I was launching the Order of Man podcast and for the last 5 years, I’ve been following his advice and implementing his strategies for growing and leading a movement, building effective organizational strategies, and taking charge of my business and personal life.
So, when his team reached out requesting to have Michael on our podcast, I jumped at the opportunity to have a conversation with a man who has been extremely influential in my life.
He is a New York Times Bestselling author and today, he is here to talk with us about his new book, The Vision Driven Leader.

Obviously, the world is entering unprecedented and unchartered territory. Every day, we’re hearing new information about the Coronavirus – some credible and some not so credible. It’s times like these that we need to turn to the experts to look for answers and solutions to the problems we face.
That’s why I’m honored to be joined by Dr. Gregory Poland, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine research group. Today, we talk about common misconceptions about the Coronavirus, the best approach to dealing with this threat, how vaccines are being developed, the eventuality of this disease, how this virus differs from others, and how we’ll win the war against Coronavirus.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
DR. GREGORY POLAND
Today, I am joined by Dr. Gregory Poland, Mary Lowell Leary professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is also the director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group and editor-in-chief of the medical journal, Vaccine.
In addition, he previously served as the president of the Health Defense Board and is the recipient of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. With more than 30 years of work in the field of viruses and vaccines, his team is currently using immunological testing and other methods to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
IRON COUNCIL
It’s likely that, in the wake of the Coronavirus fallout, you’ve been isolated to some degree. And, if that’s the case (even if it’s not), it’s crucial that you develop and maintain relationships with other men who are motivated and ambitious as you are.
That’s where the Iron Council comes in. We’ve created a network of over 500 men, all with their own unique perspectives and objectives, who are willing and able to accomplish big things in their lives and help you do the same.
And, although all of the men have differing goals, we’ve banded together in a common goal to become the most effective and capable men we can be (which, during these trying times, is crucial).
We have a time and battle-tested system for helping you accomplish big things on the home, personal, and business front and all you have to do is tap into the framework and network, and do the work required.

Most of you are familiar with Tucker Max. Regardless of what you think about him, there is no fence-sitting. You either love the guy or hate him. But that’s part of the reason I wanted to have a conversation with him – to find out what makes him so polarizing and how he feels about that.
That said, the biggest reason I wanted to talk with him is to learn about his ability to redefine himself from college frat boy to successful entrepreneur, husband, and father. I think we can all relate messing some things up along the path and many of us have or are working on our redemption story. Today, Tucker and I talk about speaking the truth, overcoming judgment, the reality of the “zero f’s” mentality, and, ultimately, how to redefine yourself.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
TUCKER MAX
Most of you know my guest today, Tucker Max. If you’re like me, you ran across one of his New York Times Bestselling books in an airport or bookstore. That’s likely the case because he’s sold over 4,500,000 copies of them.
He’s been credited with starting the literary genre, “fratire” where he detailed and documented his college-day exploits. And, although, that’s what made him famous, his ability to redefine himself from those days to who he is today is what really had me interested in talking with him.
He’s now the founder of Scribe Media and is helping other people tell their own stories in their own unique way and give a voice to those who need it and for those who need to hear it.
IRON COUNCIL
Gents, you’ve heard about the Iron Council before but what I wanted to share with you today is something that we are working on starting next week.
We call it the Twelve-Week Battle Plan and it’s a system we’ve developed over the past five years to help you accomplish more in a 90-day span than you potentially have in an entire year. In fact, when I wrote my book, Sovereignty, I completed it in a Battle Planning cycle using the same system the members of the Iron Council are using.
Obviously, life has taken a very strange turn for most of you in 2020 but using the Battle Plan and the accountability found inside the Iron Council will ensure that you get back out ahead of things and make the most of a very strange situation.

In the midst of all the variables and uncertainties, it can be a real challenge to create victories for yourself on the home, business, or personal front. Fortunately, you have control over the one variable that makes the biggest difference – your mindset.
My guest today is retired Navy SEAL Command Master Chief, Jason Gardner. We talk about the laws of combat, transitioning from successful warrior to successful homesteader, overcoming social anxiety and PTSD, and ultimately how to embrace and execute the mindsets for victory.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
JASON GARDNER
What a powerful conversation I have to share with you today with an absolutely incredible man. His name is Jason Gardner and he is a retired Navy SEAL Command Master Chief with over 30 years of military service under his belt with 9 deployments across the globe.
He’s served at every level of leadership from SEAL sniper to lead instructor for Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment to SEAL Team Five Command Master Chief. He is also the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and a purple heart.
He now serves as a leadership instructor, speaker, and strategic advisor at Echelon Front. Not only is he a badass on the battlefield but every other facet of life as well.
LEGACY
Men (specifically fathers), we are coming down to the wire on closing down registration for the LEGACY EXPERIENCE and I want you and your son to be there.
Check your calendars because it’s going to be held June 11th-14th, 2020 on my property here in Maine.
This is an experience unlike any other and it’s designed to be 3 ½ days of extensive physical and intellectual competition and camaraderie between you and 19 other fathers/sons. We’ve created an event that will quite literally transform the relationship that you and your boy have together and give you the tools, resources, and framework for you to usher your boy into manhood in a world that seems to be increasingly dismissive of it.
If you’re even the least bit interested, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to watch a quick video of our last event and learn more about what the weekend entails. But do it quickly as we only have 3 spots remaining.

Today, we tackle a conversation we’ve never had on this podcast – biblical masculinity. As you men are well aware, Order of Man is a non-religious movement but that doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t look at all available paths to the type of men we have a desire to be.
And, I can think of no better guest to have this type of conversation than Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. During our conversation, we talk about David as an example of biblical masculinity, individual sovereignty vs. God’s sovereignty, literal and figurative interpretations of the bible, Jesus Christ as a fighter, and choosing to live the commandments.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON
Gents, I’ve been looking forward to introducing my guest to you today. His name is Bishop Robert Barron. He currently serves as the auxiliary bishop to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.
He’s been asked to speak at Facebook, Google, and Amazon on the subject of religion, discussed and debated with Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, and serves as a religious correspondent for NBC, Fox News, and CNN.
In addition, he reaches nearly 2,000,000 people on his social media accounts and over 350,000 people receive his daily email reflections. Obviously, the man is very influential and, during our discussion today, I think you’ll hear why.

It’s easy to get distracted by everything that life has to offer us as men. Whether we’re attempting to live up to impossible standards, chasing other people’s dreams, or spinning around in circles being busy, but not productive, you’ve got to find a way to focus your attention and energy on the things that truly matter.
My guest today is Vincent “Rocco” Vargas. I’ll get into all that he is doing in his life in a bit but for now, let’s just say that he’s found a way to identify and pursue what really matters to him. We talk about becoming a “Ride or Die, Dad,” what it means to operate from your “Power Base,” evolving your inner circle, learning to lead and follow, and how to become a confident, grounded man.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
VINCENT “ROCCO” VARGAS
My guest today is Vincent “Rocco” Vargas and if ever there was a Renaissance man, he is it.
He is a former Army Ranger and Drill Sergeant, husband, father, barber, entrepreneur, coach, actor, producer, and writer. In the couple of years that I’ve gotten to know him, I can tell that not only is he someone who is willing to pursue his interests and dreams, he’s also someone who knows exactly what he wants outside of notoriety, popularity, and accolades – to be a great family man.
Today, you’re going to hear what that looks like, how he found his path and the strategies he uses to pursue everything he wants.
LEGACY
Gents, we’re getting very close on closing up our 3rd inaugural Legacy Experience which is being held June 11th – 14th, 2020 on my property in Maine.
I just had a contractor come out last week for a couple of buildouts we’re taking care of prior to our fathers and sons who will be attending.
This is going to be an event unlike any other for you and your son between the ages of 8 – 15. The whole weekend is designed to be mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding so that you and your son will walk away with a new perspective on your relationship and a deeper bond between you two.
I have seen incredible transformations in father/son relationships through this 3 ½ experience and I want you guys to experience that for yourself. If you’re interested, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to watch a quick video and lock in one of the last 2 remaining spots.
Again, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to claim your seat.
