Stress is something all of us as men deal with on a daily basis, and unless you and I

can find a way to manage that stress effectively, we just will not be able to show up in the way

that others are relying upon us to show up. Firefighter John Spiro with Fit to Fight Fire joins

me to talk about what it takes to handle ourselves in stressful situations, how to get better at

adapting, something that he calls belief filtering, and how to build up emotional, mental,

and physical resiliency.

You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears,

and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time,

every time. You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life,

this is who you are, this is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and

done, you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler and

I am the host and founder of Order of Man. I don't care how long you've been listening to this show.

I want to welcome you to what I would consider to be the manliest podcast available. Now I know

that I'm a bit biased, but I can tell you that we are growing so much over the past several months.

In fact, this month we're going to have a 30 plus percent increase in the listeners from men

all over the planet who are tuning into the podcast that you're tuning into right now.

Now I tell you this, for two reasons. First, I need to make sure I give credit where credit is due.

I want to thank you. I want to thank you if you've been listening for any amount of time and also

the support, the emails, the iTunes reviews that you've left. We could not make this happen

without you. And second, I tell you this so you can take heart knowing that the message we're

sharing about how to be a better man is really resonating with men across the globe. So again,

I want to thank you for tuning in every single week. Now before I get too much into this discussion
