Every time you turn around, you're bombarded with a thousand ads, a million choices, and an endless supply of options and quote unquote opportunities.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to manage the landscape of the ever-growing decisions that need to be made.

Add to that our desire to be seen and perceived a certain way by people we may not even know or like.

And it's easy to see why this disease of wanting more is becoming a real problem.

My guest today, Joshua Becker, makes the case for why more is less. He argues and I agree that having less stuff in our life can truly unlock the key to a more meaningful and purpose-driven life.

We talk about the benefits of owning less, why we have the desire to own more than we'll ever need or even use, the burden extra possessions place on our lives, and how you too can become a minimalist.

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 the founder of this podcast and this movement, the Order of Man.

Guys, this is a movement of helping men become better men. And I've had a lot of people ask what that even means. I have to leave that for you to decide.

It's up to each man to decide how he's going to show up for his business, his family, his community, every area, and every facet of life that he shows up in.

But I will say that we have the framework, the foundation, the foundational elements, if you will, of what it means to be a man.

And that is of a protector, a provider, and a presider. Now how each man fulfills and steps into those roles and into that calling is different.

But I believe that is at the core, the foundational principle of what it means to be a man. And everything that we're doing here in this podcast, and the blog, and the movement, and the YouTube channel, and the social media profiles.

And everywhere that you can find us is all geared towards helping men become better protectors, providers, and presiders.

All of this in a society that I think dismisses and shuns and looks down upon manliness and masculinity, and we are attempting to, and doing successfully restoring and reclaiming what it means to be a man.

So whether you're new here, or you've been listening for three years, I want to welcome you. I want to welcome you to this show.

This could not be possible without you. And I am glad that you are here. We've got a good show lined up. And it's along the same lines of the show last week, but I thought this would be a good trend.

This would be a good theme. And is that of becoming a minimalist and getting rid of the stuff and the clutter and the chaos and the confusion that comes with having more than will ever need or use.

Like I had mentioned in the show intro. So before I get to that, I do want to make one quick announcement. I announced this on our Friday field notes last week on Friday.

And that is the immersion camp that's going to be put on by origin. May now this is in September. It's a week long or a three or four day event. If you want to choose that, I think there's a couple of different options.
