You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest.

Embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path.

When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time.

Every time you are not easily deterred and defeated.

Rugged, resilient, strong.

This is your life. This is who you are.

This is who you will become.

At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

you can call yourself a man.

Gentlemen, what is going on today?

My name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and founder of this podcast, The World of Man.

Each week, guys, we are interviewing the world's most successful men.

We're gaining some of their insights.

We're extracting their hard-learned lessons, and then we're bringing them straight to you.

So you don't have to learn these types of things the hard way,

and you can work towards producing the same types of results these men are in your lives.

This show, however, is a little different for those of you who may not know yet.

This is just me today.

You're going to hear about my thoughts, my ideas, my insights, and some things I've been thinking about throughout the week.

This is called our Friday Field Notes, because I'm extracting lessons from being in the field,

from being in the trenches with you each and every day on my own personal mission to become a better man.

I've got an extremely valuable discussion today on the topic of men and depression.
