In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler explores the provocative idea of "making yourself a more dangerous man." Far from advocating volatility, Michler redefines danger as effectiveness—knowing your goals, communicating with precision, and embodying conviction. Through personal anecdotes and actionable insights, he challenges men to reject wishy-washiness, embrace deliberate presentation, and overcome imposter syndrome by simply doing the work.
With a blend of tough love and humility, Michler inspires listeners to step boldly into their potential. Tune in for a raw, motivating call to action, and discover how to join the Iron Council at orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

0:02.8 | I understand the concept of imposter syndrome, but I'd also suggest to you, knock it off. |
0:07.3 | I don't want to hear anybody else ever, ever again, say, well, I have imposter syndrome. |
0:12.0 | It's not a thing, because here's where I'm going to make this distinction. |
0:15.8 | If you're doing the thing, then you are the thing. |
0:19.0 | So you might say to yourself, well, I'm just not a runner. Do you run? |
0:21.9 | Yes. Then you're a runner. Because what do runners do? They run. |

1:13.1 | and to ultimately make ourselves as effective as possible. So today I'm going to talk with you about |
1:17.4 | how you can make yourself a more dangerous man. Some of these that I'm sure you've heard of |
1:23.6 | and others might be new to you. And you might even dismiss some of these things. But I encourage |
