Years and years ago, my father passed away.

My mom had called me and she said, hey, your dad's in the hospital. He had a heart attack. I brushed it off a little bit. I said, I'll be fine. He'll be fine. No, you really need to visit him. His organs are shutting down. And I got to the hospital and she came out and I said, well, dad and she said he passed away I was mad at him

which is why I didn't go see him initially again acknowledge the humanity forgive where you can

live a life that he would be proud to call you son kip what's up man great to see you I just told

you I'm scrambling today I don't know what is going on. I feel a little behind. I did wake up late later than normal. So I didn't have my normal hour or two before I get started with the day. And isn't that weird? If you get up a little earlier and you get after it with a workout with hanging out with your kids, planning out your day,

whatever it might be.

Your day just goes that much better, even though you've maybe got two hours less of sleep.

I don't know.

It's proven to be true for me.

It's wild.

And we all know that, but yet it's still hard to do.

It is. Some mornings, you know. It is hard. It's wild. I know better. Yeah. You got to force yourself in a lot of ways to do it. You know, and I know a lot of guys ask about that. How do I, how do I have discipline? How do I do this? How do I do things when I don't want to? You just do it and you attach the results to the effort. And it doesn't make it always easier. It doesn't mean you're not always be able to

overcome whatever temptation you have to slack or take it easy, but it just means you're more

likely to do it. And that's it. Yeah. That's wild. yeah that's wild right man well should we get into some

questions today yeah absolutely um we'll just jump right into it we're going to fill the questions

from our brotherhood the iron council uh to connect and join us there go to order of man dot com

slash iron council Shane newman you both have been pushing the needle with the Iron Council for

years. What keeps you both rooted and always working for the greater good of all men?

Bodies get tired, mind wonders. Your give a damn busted. What mantras, quotes, anything that keeps you saying to yourself i want more

well as it relates specifically to this work what drives me is just seeing a message that i get

from an individual who says hey man you changed my life in this way. It was so meaningful.

Or I listened to a podcast interview that you did and what your guest said is something I'd never considered before and I tried it and it works. I got three phone calls from acquaintances
