Summary

In this week's Ask Me Anything, Ryan and Kipp tackle powerful questions from the brotherhood. They discuss what lessons they are intentionally teaching their children, why so many men feel life is out of their control, and how to balance purpose with financial opportunity.

They dive into navigating raises, friendships strained by marriage dynamics, changing your mind when confronted with new evidence, and what role men should play in addressing corruption and cultural issues. As always, this episode blends practical advice with direct challenges to step up, take ownership, and live intentionally.

It's interesting when you ask men what's important to them and they say, oh, my family's important. My health is important. My career. My financial success is important. Like, cool. Pull up your calendar and pull up your bank account. Show me. And you look at their calendar and they say their family's important, but there's nothing on the schedule for kids as games or time with the kids or a vacation with the kids. It's like, well, I thought you said your family's important. Well, yeah, they're important, but like I have these other things to do. It's like, okay, so they're not as important as you're saying. Or they'll say their health's important. I'm like, cool, jump on the scale. Kip, what's up, man? So good to see you. Looking forward to. We got some good questions from Facebook and we got some great questions over the Iron Council, I believe, as well. So looking

0:40.2

forward to digging We got some good questions from Facebook and we got some great questions over the Iron Council, I believe, as well. So looking forward to dig it into these today.

0:42.4

Yeah, me too, actually. I was looking over these during my morning workout and I'm like, man, great questions again. And we said this last week. The questions from the guys were solid. So, you know, props to you guys for getting some good questions

0:54.8

in for us to discuss. And, and I'm always interested. I know it sounds funny for me to say this

1:00.4

because we've, we've addressed questions for how many years now? Maybe nine, 10 years,

1:06.2

years, nine. That's probably eight or nine. A long right. A long time. And even now I still like,

1:11.4

hmm, I wonder like I'm interested in hearing what you have to say and what comes out of some of these questions even after so many years. So yeah. And yeah, it's going to be great. We do get some repeats. Like we get themes, but a lot of the questions that we get are they tend to be new. And And I agree.

1:26.9

I don't know if we're just,

1:28.4

we laughed everybody out

1:29.5

who was asking dumb questions and what's left is the guys who are asking more sophisticated questions or if the issues are deeper or we're just getting older. So other guys are getting older and they're asking more mature questions. I don't know. I don't know what it is, but it does seem like that to me too.

1:50.3

Let me ask you this. Isn't it interesting, where I find it interesting that perhaps the themes that show up in questions are more about where we are in life than it is actually the question

1:56.3

itself? Have you seen that, right? Where you're focused in on a, well, sometimes we focus in on a subject, right? I don't really understand what you mean.

2:02.2

Well, sometimes we focus in on a subject, right?

2:04.7

So let's say, you know, you're hyper focused on being self-aware and what's required to drive

2:11.2

self-awareness.

2:12.0

And then people ask questions and you're like, ah, self-awareness is the answer, right?

2:16.5

And it's more about where I'm at

2:18.4

and what I'm focused on than really the trend of the questions themselves. Yeah, I mean, that's

2:25.3

probably true. It also makes me wonder now that you say that how many times we misrepresent questions

2:30.0

and we hear what we want to hear because we're focused on an answer that we already have to the

2:35.2

question. That's actually part of the reason that I do like to do it off the cuff a little bit,

2:40.1

as opposed to actually go in and know exactly what those questions are ahead of time. But it is
