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.

Med, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and founder of Order of Man.

I am glad you're tuning in with us. Whether this is the first time you've listened in or you've been listening in for a while,

now, as I'm sure you know, by now, this is a show about all things, manly guys, bottom line.

Okay, we want you to become a better man. We want to help you be a better leader in your own life,

in your family, with your business, with your community, and we do that by bringing you the very best,

most practical information that you can actually apply in your own life.

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

I ramble usually about some lesson I learned throughout the week.

It typically lasts between five to seven minutes, but if you're interested in our full show,

which is our interview show, make sure you subscribe to the podcast so you never miss any of the interviews

that we make available each and every single Tuesday.

I have not missed an episode for I think 69 episodes.

Now, now let's get into the show today.

By the way, if you want to dive into this conversation or any of the conversations we're having about what

it means to be a better man, head to our closed Facebook group and request access over there.
