The public school system is broken. Most of us know that and even if we do, it's hard to see a viable alternative to what so many have adopted as the way to educate our children. But the public school system is not conducive to the way children learn and what they'll be exposed to once they graduate. But even with this knowledge, only a few people are doing something about it. And my guest today, Matt Beaudreau, is one of them. Today, we'll uncover what he's doing to solve the problem of the educational system. We talk about how and why the education system is simply a behavioral management program for a large group of people, why we've decided to outsource our education, how public school has become the largest religion in the country, why we decided to lower the standards for our children and how to fix that, and how to develop and find specific aptitudes for our children.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The problem with the education system and how it’s being solved Why the education system is simply a behavioral manag

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past 18 months looking into the various attachment styles of men – anxious, avoidant, and secure. I think we all intuitively know that “secure” is the best place to be, but the question is, “How do we get there?” It’s especially difficult considering our engrained attachment style drives so much of our decision-making process – much of which is subconscious. My guest today is licensed psychotherapist and attachment specialist, Adam Lane Smith. Today, Adam and I discuss building secure, sustainable relationships, why responsibility breeds security and why we subconsciously avoid it, how the chemicals, Oxytocin and Vasopressin, drive our emotional and problem-solving connections, and why every man needs to work on building his “male solution network.”   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Building secure and sustainable relationships Why responsibility breeds security, and why we subconsciously avoid it How the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin drive our emotional and problem solving connection

Fear keeps most men from pursuing meaningful and fulfilling opportunities in life – whether romantic, a business start-up, having a hard conversation, asking for a promotion or the sale, etc. But it really isn’t what we think it is – the fear of failure. More often than not, it’s the fear of what others may think about us that keeps us from going after what we desire. My guest is Dr. Michael Gervais, a psychologist who studies mastery and what keeps us from obtaining it. In fact, he has worked with Super Bowl Champions, Olympic Gold Medalists, and some of the most elite performers in the world. Today, we discuss FOPO (fear of people’s opinions), the first rule of mastery, why we care so much about what others think, how we over-index approval as a necessary part of tribe building, and the dangers in being a one-dimensional man.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS What keeps us from obtaining mastery Fear of people’s opinions The first rule of mastery Why we care so much about what others think The dangers in being a one dime

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.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Understanding a person’s tone and demeanor Communicating directly with others Getting clarity on what we truly desire Getting comfortable with discomfort Giving credit where credit is due Recognizing others’ value Overcoming distract

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.

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.
