Summary
Gents, today, I am joined by my friend and repeat guest, Mr. Steven Pressfield. We talk about his new novel, A Man at Arms, but we also get into so much more including overcoming imposter syndrome, getting past your fears, dealing with procrastination, handling disappointment effectively, and why it's important to make your concerns real and tangible.

STEVEN PRESSFIELD
My guest today is the one and only Steven Pressfield. He was on with us several months ago and since I enjoyed the conversation so much and we received so much positive feedback, I knew that we needed to have him back on to talk about his latest release, A Man at Arms, and the value, challenges, and rewards of putting your work, whatever it is, out into the world.
He is a New York Times Bestselling Author and has personally been extremely influential in the work that we're doing here with Order of Man and I could not be more grateful to him and proud to give you round two of our discussion.
THE ART OF IMPOSSIBLE
Gents, inside the Iron Council for the month of February, we're talking about how to craft your day but for the month of March, we'll be covering "The Art of Impossible" and uncover how you can turn your dreams, ideas, and ambitions into reality.
We're going to be discussing and challenging each other how to learn more effectively, how to enter your best work in a "flow state," and how to harness creativity for maximum results. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in and you want the powerful accountability that comes from banding with other men, join us inside the Iron Council at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.
