Regret is often used to self-sabotage and retreat into sorrow and victimization, but it doesn't have to be that way.

In fact, regret can be leveraged as a powerful tool to accomplish your most challenging objectives moving forward.

Unfortunately, too many men wallow in regret and defeat instead of learning how to tap into their massive and almost unlimited potential.

Today, I'm joined by three Pete Guest, John Acuff to talk about regret, potential, goal planning, and success.

We discuss pursuing small versus large goals.

The power of becoming what John calls a quote-unquote handlemaker using discernment with regards to the self-development information we consume.

The proper response to the quote-unquote must be nice type crowd.

Why you should avoid calling your problems your problems and so much more.

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 of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here today.

We are on a mission to reclaim and restore masculinity. And I do that by bringing incredible men on the podcast to discuss everything from entrepreneurship, to athleticism, to finances, to fitness, to goal planning.

We're talking about today with John Acuff, to mindset, to psychology, to psychedelics. You name it. We're talking about it. If it can help you be a better man, I'm all about it.

So I'm glad you're tuning in. We've got a very, very powerful conversation with a good friend of mine and three-peat guest, John Acuff.

We're going to get into that in just a minute. Before I do, want to mention that I've got some not new friends, but I've got some new sponsors.

I've known these guys for quite some time. It's Montana Knife Company. And guys, if you're looking for a knife this hunt season, as it starts to turn into fall, look no further than Montana Knife.

I've got, I think I did a tally the other day. I've got 11 of their knives, 11. And I can tell you that these are the best knives out there.

They're American made in Montana. And I love what the guys are doing. I'm all about supporting small businesses. I'm all about supporting friends. I'm all about supporting American made.

And I'm all about supporting high quality products. And I've taken these knives on every one of my hunts for probably now the last three years.

I'm looking at a goat head that I butchered and broke down in Hawaii several months ago out in the living room. I've got a sheep out there. I've got a deer out there. I've got a moose coming.

And all of these were broken down with Montana Knife Company knives. So go check them out at Montanaknifecompany.com and see what these guys are up to.
