No one ever accused me of being funny, but that doesn't mean that I don't see the value of humor and comedy in life and society in general.

Today, I am joined by my good friend, Keith Yaki, who over the past couple of years has transitioned from the corporate stage to the comedy stage.

Today, we talk about why fear keeps us from doing great things, why we as a society need comedians, the power of instant feedback on our path to growth and how to be funny.

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 the founder of this podcast, The Order of Man.

Guys, if you're listening for the first time, it's my goal to bring powerful, powerful conversations to you.

I think we're on, gosh, over 200 interview shows now, and I think another 200 other podcast shows that we do throughout the week.

Man, we're just, we're cooking. So I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're tuned in. I'm glad you're on this journey and this path, and ultimately this mission of reclaiming and restoring masculinity in today's society.

Obviously, it's needed now more than ever, and I think that's a testament to the fact that we are growing. We continue to grow exponentially, and I'm glad that you're here.

I'm glad that you're inviting other men on this journey with us and couldn't be more honored to be leading this movement.

So guys, I've got a great one lined up for you today on the power of humor, why we should all work to be funnier, what it actually does for us, and how it enhances our lives, and all of that stuff.

We'll get to that here in a minute, but I want to make a very quick couple of announcements. The first one I want to talk with you about my friends and the sponsors of this show, Origin May.

Now, I've talked about them for months. There's a reason I have. I used to do some ads on the show, and quite frankly, I got a little tired of hockey underwear and life insurance and business management software.

But the guys over at Origin and the reason that I've worked with them over the past couple of months is because I honestly believe in what they're doing. I've been out there to their facilities.

I've seen their operations. I know these guys personally, their friends of mine, they've got their nutritional supplemental lineup. It's the joint warfare, super-cryl, discipline go, malk, which is a protein supplement. They've got it all over there.

That's what you guys seem to be most interested in, and something that I've incorporated to my health and nutrition and exercise regimen, all of that's partnered up with Jocco.

Then they do geese and rash guards and lifestyle apparel. They've got one of the most comfortable hoodies on the planet. In fact, I think I heard Pete the other day say that it was made of unicorn skin.

So anyways, guys, code check out what they're doing. Origin main main is in the state main. So origin and may I and E dot com. And when you purchase anything over there, make sure you use the code order or our DER at checkout.

And you get a discount on that order again, origin main dot com and use the code order. The other thing that I just wanted to mention really quick is over the past. I would say a couple of weeks.

I've got a lot of questions about how to launch a podcast, how to grow a podcast, how to put a message and idea out into the world, how to connect with powerful people like my guest today and the hundreds of other men that we've had on this show that I decided I want to share this information with you because I think there is something so powerful and podcasting and the ability to get your message, your voice, your thoughts, your ideas out into the world is it's critical.
