When I started Order of Man a little over two years ago, I made a post and video available called 8 Skillsets Every Man Must Master. The video and the post have been viewed tens of thousands of times which led me to believe that men really wanted to know what they needed to be …
The King of Your Castle
There seems to be a lot of men these days that have either forgotten what it means to be a man in the home or never learned the skills to step up fully as the king of their castle. I know as I have this discussion there is going to be someone that isn’t going …
Keeping Field Notes
This week I had to order so additional Field Notes as I ran out. If you don’t know what they are, they’re small pocket sizes notebooks that you can carry around and track your notes, thoughts, ideas, and inspirations. It occurred to me today that I have never shared with you how I got the …
Strikeout Swinging
We just wrapped up another baseball season here in Southern Utah and, overall it was a great season. In fact, I coach my two oldest boys’ teams and both teams are good. Both teams are strong. They did a lot of things right this year. They learned a ton. But, there is one thing that …
How Bad Do You Want It?
I want to ask you one very simple question. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? I don’t know what “it” looks like for you but I want to know how bad you want it. Because, based on some conversations I’ve had earlier in the week, I can’t help but think that the answer to that …
Feel the Fear
I heard the phrase earlier in the week, FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s total B.S. Fear is real! And, I’m going to prove it to you, tell you why you should embrace fear, and how you can use the emotion of fear to your advantage. FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL …
Complexity Kills
I did a podcast a while back called, Complacency Kills but, when I say, “complexity kills,” I’m talking about the exact opposite of complacency and/or doing nothing. I’m talking about doing TOO MUCH. And, more specifically the mistake of pitfall of over-planning and over-complicating every element of your life. I look around and I see …
Fix Yourself First
It seems that everywhere you look, you’ll find someone out there willing to tell you how to live your life. In fact, if you look hard enough, you’ll recognize that is what we’re actually doing here right now inside of the Order of Man. In many ways, I don’t feel completely qualified to tell you …
What if You’re Wrong?
Let us dive into the topic of today which is the question, what if you’re wrong? I think this is a critical question and, quite honestly, it’s one that doesn’t get asked or even answered a whole lot. Look around for a minute and see if you can recognize very many people who would be …
Consistency Trumps Talent
I want to talk with you about consistency. Consistency in all we do is critical to our success. Consistency trumps talent every time. The reason I wanted to talk with you about this today is because my voice is shot. But, when I started this podcast and, specifically, the Friday Field Notes you’re listening to …
At The Ready
Being “At The Ready” is about being prepared for whatever life may have to throw at you. It’s about taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. It’s about creating more opportunities because you are ready for those opportunities in every way, shape, and form. This is not about hoping for things to happen. This is not about …
Like Sheep to the Slaughter
What do I mean by this when I say “Like sheep to the slaughter?” What I mean is that I think there is a tendency for men and women in society today to put the blindfold on, to blindly follow other people, to go with the status-quo, and to do what everyone else is doing. …
