#086: Rich Roll | Pursuing the Warrior Path

We all have a path to travel in this life. Some of us have found it and others are still searching for it. I can tell you that the pursuit of that path is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

I know that my guest today, Rich Roll, would agree. We talk about the power that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, how to keep driving in the face of adversity, what to expect when you break free of society’s norms, and how you can pursue your warrior path.

The Iron Council

The Iron Council is an elite group of men from all walks of life. But, the common characteristic in every member is the willingness to TAKE ACTION in order to improve their lives.

If you’re looking for a group of feel-good conversations about how to improve your life, this is NOT it. We’re fast-paced, in your face, and all collection of men willing to show you a little tough love.

That’s what you need to wake you from the slump you’ve been in. That’s what you need to take your life to the next level.

When you become a member of The Iron Council, you literally become part of a brotherhood of men working to pull each other up. You’ll gain access to the insights and ideas of some of the world’s most successful men. You’ll have the opportunity to learn what they know, how they implement it in their lives, and what to avoid.

Podcast Sponsor

Men, let me tell you about my friends and podcast sponsor, Sheath Underwear.

I’ve told you I was a little hesitant to have these guys sponsor the show but, I whole-heartedly endorse what these guys are doing and I personally use Sheath Underwear every time I work out.

These underwear where designed by a two-time Iraqi Combat Veteran to help keep your boys in place when you’re working out or on the run.

Bottom line, you’re going to get the comfort and flexibility you want, but also the ability to keep everything in check so you can worry about what really matters, not having to adjust yourself every five minutes. Essentially they’ve designed a pocket, aptly named the ‘zen pouch’ that gives you maximum support without the restrictions.

Just go over to www.sheathunderwear.com and use the code “orderofman” at checkout for a 25% discount. Again, it’s www.sheathunderwear.com. You and your manhood can thank me later.
