Connecting with men. Now it sounds a little weird just to say it, but whether you call it connecting or developing relationships or building your tribe, finding a way to surround yourself with other successful guys is critical to your success.

This week Connor Beaton shares with us why and how you need to connect with men in your life, how to build more influence among those guys and how you can stand out as the leader when building your tribe.

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 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 guys to the Order of Man podcast. I am Ryan, Micro The Host and founder of Order of Man. We are talking all things manly on this podcast from health and leadership and fitness and money and so much more.

But today we're talking specifically about connecting with other guys and building your tribe, which I know is on a lot of your minds.

Now I'm not going to harp on this too much this week because we've talked about it over and over again, especially over the past couple of weeks, but our elite mastermind, the iron council is open. I think you'll agree, especially after listening to this episode that being around other like minded and successful men is critical. It's paramount to your own success.

He is the founder of man talks, which is a company designed to connect like minded men who are making a real difference in the world.

Connor finds men who are experts in their field. He gives them a space to share their journey through the events that they do his podcast that he has. They do some mastermind groups and weekend man camps. He also has a diverse background. He talks about this a little bit, but he sings opera internationally. He also oversees $250 million worth of business for one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

In addition to expanding man talks this year, Connor is also a speaker covering leadership authenticity and masculinity for companies across Canada and the US. Connor, thanks for joining me. I'm glad you're here, man. Thanks. Yeah, thanks for having me.

So tell me a little bit about man talks because I really like the idea and the premise behind what you guys are doing. And I think your conversations that you're having are so, so valuable for men in society today.

So I'd like to know a little bit more about what you're doing and how you got involved with man talks and what you're doing now. Yeah, absolutely. Well, I found a man talks last year in March. And it had been a concept that I had been playing around with for a little while. Basically, I wanted to create like a personal development platform for guys because there's not much out there. There's not like a unified sense of personal development for them where they can really go and have conversations.

You know, there's like men circles that have 10 guys like that or you can go to the bar and chat with your buddies. But really what I wanted to do was create something where we were finding men who are making a difference in the world and then giving them a space to share their voice and share their message.

And you know, the intention behind that is is connecting men with other high performing men that can be their mentors or their role models and really shift the conversation that men are having from, you know, the everyday beer, boobs and booze to, you know, passion, purpose.

And then you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you have invested into these girls, you know, you know, you know, you have invested into

some of the experiments trials and it was not the strongest.

The public, the patent norms deliberately gave you the flop months, the first blossoms, good job, right?

Good job, but I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not really hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry.

Right, power up, I'm gonna toss it all away, I'm gonna toss it you care to know how old I am at my place, right, I'm gonna eat it up, and you know, you're gonna winner.
