Men, I've got a great one lined up for you today with a man who I was just recently introduced to.

In the past several weeks, his business has been forcefully shut down.

He and his business partner have been arrested and they're now facing a $15,000 per day fine for operating their legitimate and licensed gym in New Jersey.

Look, I'm not going to ask you to agree with the premise of Ian Smith's current situation and the fight that he's been thrust into, although I think many of you will.

But I would have you consider the validity of the fight that he's engaged in.

What it means to be a man of conviction standing up to the government and ultimately putting it all on the line for something you believe in.

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

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

You are not easily deterred and defeated. Ruggid, 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 the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man movement.

Man, we've really been growing. I just want to thank you. I want to thank you for tuning in. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for banding with us. Ultimately, thank you for stepping up.

I mean, that's what I set out to do five and a half years ago is give you the tools and the conversations, the resources you need to step up in your lives.

Whether you're a father, a brother, a husband, a business owner, a community leader, a coach, a mentor, an employee, I really don't care.

I don't care where you're showing up. It is your job to be a man and it's my job to give you all of the tools, all of the information, everything that you need to be successful in those endeavors, whatever they look.

I would ask if you continue, please to leave the ratings and reviews, continue to share on Instagram and Facebook and YouTube and wherever you're doing the social media thing, you have no idea. Trust me.

You have no idea how far it goes when you actually share, even if it's just with one other person, you have free access to the information I share with you, free access to the conversations I have with guests like Andy Fricilla and Jocco willing,

Tim Kennedy and David Goggins and Grant Cardone and everybody else that we've had on the podcast.

There's a lot of effort on my part and so I ask that if we want to band together in this mission to reclaim and restore masculinity, then you put forth the effort of sharing, promoting, letting people know what it is we're doing.

Because it is apparent to me that this is much needed in this degenerate somewhat pathetic, frankly society that I'm beginning to see form around us.

So like I said in the introduction, I've got a very, very powerful conversation lined up for you today.

I'm going to get to that and introduce you to Ian here in just a minute, but I do want to make a very, very quick mention of my friends who help keep the show going.
