SAL DI STEFANO
Sal Di Stefano is back for round two.
He is someone that I've gotten to know over the past couple of years. We've been able to connect because we agree on a lot of the same issues and are extremely interested in having important and relevant dialogue on topics most people shy away from.
Sal is the co-founder of MindPump Media. He's spent nearly 20 years as a fitness and personal trainer and focused science and truth to the fitness industry.
Although we only talk about fitness and nutrition towards the end of this conversation, it's apparent that Sal is someone who strives to find objective truth in all facets of life and prides himself and sharing that truth with others.

| 0:06.1 | an intelligent conversation about some sensitive subjects without completely losing their minds. |
| 0:11.6 | Today, I am joined by my friend, Sal De Stefano, to talk about a lot of these issues and these |
| 0:16.6 | polarizing topics, including the moral implications of free markets and governments, how important it |
| 0:23.3 | is that fathers are in the home, the legalization of drugs, the shift in society toward nihilism, |
| 0:29.4 | and of course we talk about everything and everywhere in between. |
| 0:32.9 | You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, |
| 0:36.9 | and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, |
| 0:42.2 | every time. You are not easily deterred and defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life, |
| 0:49.3 | this is who you are, this is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and |
| 0:54.8 | done, you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on in my name is Ryan Mickler and I |
| 1:01.1 | am the host and the founder of this podcast, the Order of Man. If you've been with us for any |
| 1:05.2 | amount of time, you know that this is a podcast about reclaiming what it means to be a man, |
| 1:10.3 | reclaiming masculinity in a society that seems to dismiss it at best and it seems to be more and |
| 1:18.6 | more aggressive on the assault on masculinity. Now have a lot of guys who will say, so what, |
| 1:23.4 | men don't care about that stuff. I don't believe that's true. I think men have an obligation to stand |
| 1:28.3 | up against some of this and an obligation to help raise future generations of boys by teaching |
| 1:35.5 | them exactly what it means to be a man. And then of course what we're doing here with a podcast is |
| 1:39.9 | equipping men with the tools and the guidance and the skillset and the conversations needed to help |
| 1:45.0 | each and every one of us become better fathers and husbands, business owners, community leaders, |
| 1:51.3 | just better men in general. And that's exactly what we're doing and I couldn't be more proud and |
| 1:55.6 | honored to be a small part of your lives and this movement in general. So again, glad you're here. |
