You're a man. You're committed to the work required to forge your own destiny.

Your blood, your sweat, your tears.

You will not be defeated. You cannot be deterred.

Nothing stands between you and the victory you see.

You are rock, steadfast, resolute, and unwavering.

And at the end of the day, the job will be done.

Welcome to your Friday Field Notes.

Men, what is going on? Welcome to your Friday Field Notes.

I am Ryan, Micritor, and I am Deepounder of Order of Men.

Now, if you're new to the show today, keep in mind that this is just a short version.

This is a quick show that we do each and every Friday.

Our full-length show is released every single Tuesday.

And that's where I interview the strongest, the smartest, the toughest, the baddest, the most successful men on the planet.

So make sure you subscribe to that show so you miss none of those.

I promise that they'll be well worth your time.

So if you've listened to me for any amount of time, you know that I'm a guy who gets right to the heart of the matter.

I'm not in a wasting a bunch of time or charming you with a bunch of fluff that has no relevancy in the discussions that we're having.

I value your time. I value my time.

And with that said, I just want to jump right into the topic today, which is excuses.

Now, this is a tough discussion for me because, frankly, excuses tick me off.

You know, when my kids or my employees give me excuses, I get fired up.

There's absolutely no reason to come up with any excuses in your life.
