RANDALL WALLACE
My guest today is the legendary Randall Wallace. You may not recognize his name but I guarantee you that you are deeply familiar with his work.
Randall is a screenwriter, director, producer, New York Times Bestselling Author, and songwriter. He wrote Braveheart, Man in the Iron Mask, Pearl Harbor, and We Were Soldiers among many other incredible motion pictures, many of which he produced and directed and has won several Academy Awards.
He is an insanely talented individual – far beyond what I knew when we agreed to do a podcast together – and he is deeply reflective and insightful around the subject of men and masculinity.
You guys are going to really enjoy this conversation. It was incredibly powerful and inspiring for me.
IRON COUNCIL
Gentlemen, very quickly, I wanted to introduce you to the Iron Council if you're not already familiar. Randall and I have talked a bit about in this conversation the power of brotherhood and finding other men who are qualified to be in your corner.
Unfortunately, it seems to be increasingly difficult to find those types of men and develop powerful bonds that will help both of you succeed. That's where the Iron Council comes into play.
Inside the Iron Council, there are over 800 men who are all like-minded and working towards the same goals and objectives. These are incredibly motivated and ambitious men and they have not only the desire to succeed but to help all the men inside the Iron Council do the same.

| 0:04.8 | all time is Braveheart. So when I had the chance to have a conversation with a man behind the movie, |
| 0:09.9 | he wrote the screenplay for Braveheart. His name is Randall Wallace. Of course, I jumped on that |
| 0:15.2 | opportunity. Today Randall and I talk about the timeless messages for men found in the movie Braveheart, |
| 0:20.4 | how and what sacrifices must be made to achieve our goals, how to qualify other men who can serve |
| 0:26.8 | as our band of brothers discovering something that calls deeply to you and ultimately how we too |
| 0:33.1 | can live our lives with the courage and bravery conveyed in the life of William Wallace and Braveheart. |
| 0:37.6 | You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears. You can boldly |
| 0:42.2 | charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. |
| 0:47.8 | You are not easily deterred and defeated. Rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you |
| 0:54.8 | are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day and after all is said and done, you can call |
| 1:00.8 | yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Nicler. I am the host and the |
| 1:06.6 | founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement and I want to welcome you here. I've got a very |
| 1:11.3 | exciting conversation lined up for you today as I do every week, but this one was very special |
| 1:17.6 | because Braveheart is my favorite movie and I actually just introduced Braveheart about a month |
| 1:22.8 | ago to my two oldest sons and that quickly became one of their favorite movies as well. This is going |
| 1:28.1 | to be a good one. You guys are going to enjoy this, I think, as much as I certainly did. Before we |
| 1:32.4 | get into it, I just want to make a very quick mention that my friends at Origin and I have released |
| 1:38.9 | the Origin Beard Oil, which has been in the works now for, gosh, probably close to, |
| 1:44.5 | almost a year, I would say. We put a lot of work into this, 100% maiden sourced in America and it |
| 1:49.8 | is available. So if you want to pick up any of the Origin Beard Oil, there's three different |
| 1:55.9 | cents as of right now. We have plans to build this line out. It's a great way to support not only me |
