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 seek.

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 today? My name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and founder of Order of Man.

If you're listening to this show, you know by now that we're a show about all things manly.

We talk about leadership and health and wealth and relationships,

self-mastery, self-defense, and every other topic that is going to help you become the man that you want to be.

Bottom line, we want you to be a better leader, guys. A better leader with yourself, a better leader in your family, your business, your community, a better leader in your life.

Now, if you're new to the show today, this is our Friday Field Notes show,

which is basically five to seven minutes of me rambling about a given topic for the week.

Specifically today, I'm going to be talking about work, life, balance.

But if you haven't subscribed yet, you need to because each Tuesday,

we release another show where we interview the world's most successful people and help you take those

manly lessons back into your own life.

We've interviewed guys like Navy SEAL, Jocke, Willing, Brett McKay, with Art of Manliness,

Andy for Silla with MFC, Jordan Harbinger with the Art of Charm, and a ton more.

Now, with that said, I want to get into the show today because as I said a second ago,

we just don't have that much time.
