I've spent a lot of time over the past several weeks really contemplating my performance and how I'm showing up both personally and professionally for my family and friends and for those of you who tune into what we're doing here with Order of Man.

It's been a lot of time of self-reflection and as challenging as it can be and has been in the past, it's been very therapeutic and helped me get back on the path I really want to travel.

And speaking of therapeutic, my guest today is John Kim, aka the Angry Therapist. Today we talk about the differences between liking and loving yourself and which is better to strive for.

Why we have to be careful of stamping ourselves as failures, how to uncover false beliefs burned into our subconscious, the power of identifying our value systems and how to move away from the quote, pseudo-self to the solid self.

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. I'm your host and the founder of the Order Man podcast and Movement. Welcome here and welcome back.

I want to give you some great conversations with incredible men. These are guys who are successful in their respective fields.

Therapists like we have today with John Kim, athletes, scholars, New York Times, bestselling authors, entrepreneurs. You name it. If these guys have something of value to share, we're bringing in them on the podcast.

Extracting their wisdom and information and then trying to give that to you so that you and I and everybody else tuned in can become better men. Isn't that what we want? We all want to become better men.

And all of us fall short from time to time. This is a podcast that has helped not only a lot of guys who reach out and message me every day. It also helps me. I feel like I'm the biggest beneficiary and recipient of what we're doing.

And Lord knows I have a long way to go as well. So that's what we're all about here. So if you're just tuning in for the first time, welcome.

Like I said, very glad you're here. We're going to get into it in just a minute before I do want to let you know that we've got our merchandise store over at store. Order of man.com store. Order of man.com.

And we've got hats, shirts, wallets, our best selling battle planners, decals. We've got a lot over there. And it's a great way to support the movement.

And I don't have to advertise a bunch of other people or other products that I don't like or don't use like a lot of these podcasts will do.

But that I can just share with you something that we wholeheartedly believe in. And I'm seeing more and more decals on vehicles and shirts and hats around just as I'm out and about. And it's very cool.

It's very cool. Great way to support what we're doing. And it is greatly appreciated store. Order of man.com.

With that said guys, let me introduce you to my guest, John Kim. He's been somebody I've been following for quite some time. And I can tell you that his messages and his podcast have been instrumental in helping me on my own self development journey.

As I said, his name is John Kim. A lot of you guys may know him as the angry therapist online. He's a licensed therapist. He's a life coach. He's the co founder of tat lab and Lumia coaching training.

He's also the best selling author of several books, including his latest book that's coming out very soon. Title, it's not me. It's you break the blame cycle relationship better.

John's personal path has led him to become frankly a pioneer. We talk about it. A pioneer in the field of self help and helping others cut through all the BS. You're going to hear a lot about that today.

This one kind of felt like a bit of my own personal therapy session. And I know you're going to get a ton out of this one too. A little bit different tempo and pace than we've done in the past. But I know I know you're going to get a lot out of this. Enjoy.
