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.

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 and I am the host and the founder.

This podcast and the movement, the Order of Man.

I want to welcome you. I've been saying it for years now.

our young men and our sons into men.

I've titled this Raising Kings because it is apparent to me that boys are falling behind on just about every metric.
