  • I’ve made it a personal rule, when I’m offended, to chalk it up to people’s inability to communicate effectively. It’s proven to be useful and, typically, correct. But how can the activity we engage in more than anything else (with the exception of sleep) be something so many men are horribly deficient with?

    That’s a question my guest, Jefferson Fisher, has spend decades understanding and, over the last several years, teaching over 10,000,000 of his social media followers how to address. Today Jefferson and I talk about avoiding miscommunication, how to be assertive in communication – but not an asshole, when diplomacy and advocacy connect and contradict, why learning not to, “take the bait” of others will serve you, learning the rules of the communication game, and why control, confidence, and connection will set you apart.

  • Many of us have been accused of perpetuating the concept of male privilege and male power. Heaven forbid a man uses his God-given talents and abilities to lift his people up. But too many misguided and damaged souls tend to see only the worst parts of the men in their vicinity or, on social media and in the bright light of the entertainment industry. Those men, in no way, are indicative of the general consensus of men and, yet, many still view men as the premier problem in society today.

    My guest today, Dr. Warren Farrell, helps unpack why that is not the case and, if anything how genuine men are the cure to many of the ailments of modern times. We talk about why “men’s issues” are not just men’s issues, the differences in what language men and women speak, the male equivalents of the feminist movement, why men are more interested in garnering respect than love, the dreaded “V-word” (vulnerability), and 6 mindsets to form powerful connections between men and women.

  • Take a quick look around you and you’ll easily see the degradation of the family, the undermining of both masculinity and femininity, the perversion of virtue and even things like “man” and “woman”, and the dismantling of societal norms that have served the world for good for centuries. It’s not hard to see that in many ways, some of our most influential institutions (government, academia, entertainment, and medicine) are actively working against us.

    My guest today, author and cultural commentator, Andrew Klavan joins me to talk about what is happening in society today and what, we as men, can do about it. We discuss extreme feminism and the male equivalent – Red Pill and MGTOW, the difference between happiness, fulfillment, and joy (and which to pursue), why men like Andrew Tate have come to influence millions of men – and why that’s not a good thing, how the powers that be are getting people to turn against each other, and so much more.

  • Men, we all have scars. Some are visible. Some are not. Some are physical. And, some are mental and emotional. Regardless of the scars you carry around, the stories behind them have the ability to shape you, for better or worse.

    My guest today, 101st Airborne Division Combat Veteran, J.R. Martinez, has easily-seen external scars. But rather than use those scars as an excuse to self-destruct, Martinez has, instead, decided to use the stories and the lessons he’s learned on the road to recovery to make himself a better man. Today, J.R. and I talk about deliberately changing your perspective on life, what he calls, “God Winks,” and how to use them effectively in your life, how to get over perceived emasculation and make yourself into more, crafting a new identity for yourself when the old one is ripped from you, and how a man effectively deals with persecution from others.

  • This one is going to be a different one for you guys today. For the third time in the history of Order of Man in nearly a decade, we have a woman joining us on the podcast. Kelsi Sheren is a good friend of mine, and she is not afraid to pull punches. We’ve had some very public disagreements about the concept of “Vulnerability,” and “Feminism.” And, I thought, if we’re going to take this movement to the next level, all of us (myself included) need to take ourselves outside our comfort zones.

    Today, Kelsi and I discuss masculine energy in women, where the idea of vulnerability falls flat, the difference between feminism and “modern-day feminism,” overcoming fear, why expectations of others just set you up for failure, why honesty and humility may be a better approach relative to vulnerability, where woman and men fail each other and themselves, and so much more.

  • Testosterone (T) is a hormone all men are familiar with at this point. It’s become a very hot topic and, whether or not to increase testosterone naturally or with Testosterone Replace Therapy (TRT), has become an increasingly debated question. Testosterone is recognized as the hormone to improve energy, muscle mass, overall health and vitality, and personal performance.

    My guest today, Simmo, is a man who has become immersed in the world of improving testosterone rates in men and male optimization. Today, we talk about the key strategies of boosting testosterone naturally, at what point a man should consider TRT, what function of the body, if not improved, hinders the processing of testosterone, how your workout might be hindering the production of T, what role the nervous system plays in hormone optimization, and how a brotherhood of men is an often-overlooked factor of overall male health.
