I've had a lot of conversations over the past several months about what it means to be a man.

And I've heard a variety of answers from the clothes that we wear to the cars we drive to the women we date

and also the virtues that we adhere to as men.

So in an attempt to bring some clarity to the conversation and help you earn more,

live a more fulfilled life, and be a man I've narrowed it down to eight skill sets every man must learn to master.

Your 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 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.

Welcome back to the Order Man podcast. As always, I'm glad that you're listening to today.

I'm going to be mixing things up a bit. First, I want to have a conversation with you about what it means to be a man.

As I mentioned in the introduction, I've had and heard a lot of different ideas of what it means to be a man.

And after hundreds of conversations with some of the world's most successful men,

I've been able to narrow it down to eight skill sets that I believe every man must master in order to call himself a man in today's society.

But before I get into that, I do want to encourage you to stick around after that conversation because I have a very special guest on today.

It's my son. Now he's been on a previous podcast that he did and he knows that I've been doing this podcast for the last several months.

And so he asked me if he could be on this show.

And my thought is that this project is all about helping men become better men and what better time to start learning than it's seven years old.

So you'll hear that conversation with my son about what it means to be a man and a bit.

He gives some pretty funny examples and he also rats me out on one of my less than stellar manly examples to him.

So before we get into that, I want to remind you that you can find all the links, the notes, the resources to this show at order of man.com slash zero one, two.
