Jens, I had the opportunity to visit with representative Madison Cothorn with my family in DC last week.

And let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

We got the chance to tour the Capitol building and get a very small glimpse inside the world of politics in DC.

But we also had the chance to sit down in his office and throw down the podcast that you're about to listen to.

Now, we talk about the world of politics, why, while politics is fast paced, very little seems to get accomplished on the hill.

How we as men can be informed without immersing ourselves in the political arena and theater that comes with it, the world of outrage.

And ultimately, at the end of the day, what we as men need to do to keep this country on track.

You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears. You can boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

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.

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 am the host and the founder of the Order of Men podcast.

If you're new, now you know who I am. As far as what we do, we have conversations with incredible men.

Men inside the world of politics, like you're going to hear today, but also athletes, scholars, New York Times best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, any man that is successful in his own right and has a lesson or information or experiences that he can share with us.

So we can distill that information, take what we can from it, learn how to improve our own lives and the lives of the people that we care about.

That's what this mission is all about. Obviously, we live in this society that seems to reject and mock and dismiss and ridicule masculinity.

This is the antithesis of that. In fact, this is the antidote to that. If you want to be a better man, you want to help other people in your circle become better men.

This is the podcast and the resources for you.

So I've got a great conversation with Representative Madison Cothorne today. We're going to get into that in just a minute. But before we do, just want to make a very quick mention of the show sponsors.

They help make this show possible. They're also my friends over at Origin Main that just came up with a new product, Jaco Greens, because they are partnered with Jaco Willink.

These are super foods and super fruits and vegetables all condensed into powdered form so that you can take these Jaco Greens in the morning and feel better.

Get the nutrients that you need, the fruits, the vegetables, all the stuff. You guys don't need an introduction to what greens are.

But these are delicious coconut pineapple flavored. My oldest son and I take a green smoothie or shake every single day.
