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 and 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 at A. My name is Ryan Mickler

and I am the host and the founder of this podcast,

the Order of Man.

I want to welcome you back. I want to welcome you here.

Again, whether you're here for the very first time or you've been listening for

Whether you're working to become a better father, a better husband, a better business owner,

in my brain for the past week or so.
