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 McClure, and I am the host and founder of Order of Man.

As always, I'm glad you're back with us again here today.

Now, if you're new to the show, this is a show about all things manly.

Specifically today, we're talking about relationships, but we cover so much more than just relationships.

We talk about the psychology of leadership.

We talk about self-defense.

We talk about strength and conditioning and nutrition.

And we talk about anything really that is important to you as a man.

So each and every Friday, I release your Friday Field Notes, which is what you're listening to now.

This is a short show. It's typically between seven to ten minutes.

It's just long enough to get to the heart of the matter, but short enough for you to listen to if you only have a few minutes.

We also, though, have a longer version, which is released each Tuesday, where we interview the world's most successful men.

We extract their hard-learned lessons, and then we deliver them right to you.

Basically, you need to make sure that you subscribe to this show so you never miss our Fridays or our Tuesdays release.

Now, before we get too much into this conversation today,
