Summary
It's easy to get distracted by everything that life has to offer us as men. Whether we're attempting to live up to impossible standards, chasing other people's dreams, or spinning around in circles being busy, but not productive, you've got to find a way to focus your attention and energy on the things that truly matter.
My guest today is Vincent "Rocco" Vargas. I'll get into all that he is doing in his life in a bit but for now, let's just say that he's found a way to identify and pursue what really matters to him. We talk about becoming a "Ride or Die, Dad," what it means to operate from your "Power Base," evolving your inner circle, learning to lead and follow, and how to become a confident, grounded man.

VINCENT "ROCCO" VARGAS
My guest today is Vincent "Rocco" Vargas and if ever there was a Renaissance man, he is it.
He is a former Army Ranger and Drill Sergeant, husband, father, barber, entrepreneur, coach, actor, producer, and writer. In the couple of years that I've gotten to know him, I can tell that not only is he someone who is willing to pursue his interests and dreams, he's also someone who knows exactly what he wants outside of notoriety, popularity, and accolades – to be a great family man.
Today, you're going to hear what that looks like, how he found his path and the strategies he uses to pursue everything he wants.
LEGACY
Gents, we're getting very close on closing up our 3rd inaugural Legacy Experience which is being held June 11th – 14th, 2020 on my property in Maine.
I just had a contractor come out last week for a couple of buildouts we're taking care of prior to our fathers and sons who will be attending.
This is going to be an event unlike any other for you and your son between the ages of 8 – 15. The whole weekend is designed to be mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding so that you and your son will walk away with a new perspective on your relationship and a deeper bond between you two.
I have seen incredible transformations in father/son relationships through this 3 ½ experience and I want you guys to experience that for yourself. If you're interested, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to watch a quick video and lock in one of the last 2 remaining spots.
Again, head to www.orderofman.com/legacy to claim your seat.
Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

| 0:44.0 | 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. |
| 0:54.0 | You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become. |

| 1:09.0 | Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan McClure and I am the host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast. |
| 1:14.0 | I want to welcome you back and welcome you here. Whether you've been with us for any amount of time or you stumbled across this podcast over the past several weeks, |
| 1:22.0 | you are tapped into what I believe is the greatest resource for men when it comes to conversations and information and resources that you need to step up the way that you want to step up in your family and your business life and your community and every other area of life that you're showing up as. |
| 1:41.0 | We've got some incredible, incredible interviews from guys like Jocco Willink, Grant Cardone, Tim Kennedy, David Goggins, Tom Billiou, Andy Frasilla, as I said every week, the lineup of men who have decided to band with us in some capacity is phenomenal. |
| 1:55.0 | And that's a testament to the fact that we as men want to be men. We want to learn how to be better men and we want to apply all this information in our lives to affect better results for us and the people we care about. |
| 2:06.0 | So I've got a great one lined up for you today. I'm going to get to it in here just a minute. I do want to make a mention of my friends and show sponsors like I do every week. And I want to talk with you about something specific because origin, which is our sponsors, just came out with their brand new denim. It's called Delta 68 jeans. And you guys are definitely going to want to check these out a little different than your normal denim. |
| 2:31.0 | They are a very lightweight fabric. They've got a good stretch in them. So whether you're sitting around or traveling on a plane or sitting in a car or doing your work or doing your workouts. |
| 2:41.0 | Now these things are going to be very, very comfortable and durable as well. A little bit of a slimmer fit than their past, their past jeans. So I think you guys are going to like them. |
| 2:50.0 | You can check that out and all the other stuff they're doing like boots, which I've talked at length about, their nutritional lineup partnered up with Jaco Willink. And you can do that at or excuse me. Let's see origin main lost my train of thought there from an origin main.com. And if you end up picking a pair of denim or whatever, then use the code order or our DER at checkout again origin main.com and use the code order at checkout. |
| 3:16.0 | All right guys, let me introduce to my guest a good friend of mine. His name is Vincent Rocco Vargas. And if ever there was a Renaissance man, he is it. Listen to this lineup. He's a farm former army ranger and drill sergeant. He's a husband, father, a barber, entrepreneur, coach, actor, producer, writer. I'm sure I missed about two dozen other things this man is doing. |
| 3:37.0 | But over the couple of years that I've gotten to know him, I can tell that not only is he someone who's willing to pursue his interest and dreams, but he's also someone who knows exactly what he wants outside of notoriety and popularity and the accolades. |
| 3:52.0 | And that is to be a great family man today. You're going to hear what that looks like. How he found this path and the strategies he uses to pursue everything, everything that he wants. |
| 4:04.0 | All right, brother, what's going on man, line time in the works, but I'm glad we're finally able to sit down. You're a busy man. |
