FFN 071: Memento Mori Sep 01, 2017

Show notes

You may have heard the Latin phrase, "Memento Mori" which quite literally means "remember that you have to die." That phrase has also been used to describe an object that serves as a reminder of death, like a skull or any other object that has that connotation.

Now, the reason I want to talk with you about this because, just prior to hitting record on this podcast, I booked a flight and hotel to go see my father who, just a couple days ago, had a heart attack. I don't know whether he is going to live or die but, unfortunately, right now, things don't look good. I'm sure by the time this podcast is released we'll know if he has passed or if he's in the clear.

As I think about all that's gone on for me physically, mentally, and emotionally over the past 48 hours, I can't help but think about the prospect of my own death.

128: Style as a Tool to Have More and Be More | Ryan Magin Aug 29, 2017

Show notes

So many men are afraid to even talk about style. In my experience, they believe that it's just not that important when it comes to being a man or they don't want to be viewed as anything less than manly.

I get it. I used to be the same way. That was until I understood the power of dressing well and leveling up your presence. Dressing well isn't about a well-tailored suit, fancy shoes, and overpriced jeans. It's about being deliberate and intentional about sharing with the world who you really are.

My friend, Ryan Magin joins me today to talk about what role style plays in masculinity, why men are afraid to elevate their style, something he calls "enclothed cognition" and the "halo effect," and how to use your style to have more and be more. RYAN MAGIN

Gentlemen, my guest today is my good friend, Ryan Magin. I met Ryan three years ago as I was launching Order of Man and the StyleCon conference. I'll admit, I'm not one who is very good when it comes to what I wear and how I look.

But, I've learned a ton from Ryan about the way you look has proven to not only increase confidence in yourself but confidence from others too.

Ryan dresses well, he looks good, and his game is on-point (although I will say his style is very different than mine). But, that's the point he makes today. Is that in order to look and feel good, you have to find a style that works for you.

And, that's exactly what I've seen him do over the last three years for himself as I've watched what he's done for himself, his business, and his clients.

Guys, take notes, listen to this with an open mind, and learn how to use your style as another tool to get what you want.

FFN 070: Should've, Could've, Would've Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Most men seem to be living in the past. They live with guilt, remorse, sorrow, and regret. What a shame that is because if they'd only realize that their past experiences don't define who they are, I think we'd see a lot more men stepping up to the responsibilities they have today. Today, I want to share with you four steps I've incorporated in my life so that I live in the present moment. Yes, I learn from my experiences and reflect on the past but, only as a means to get better today, not to sit around feeling sorry for myself.

126: 7 Principles of Total Focus | Navy SEAL Brandon Webb Aug 15, 2017

Show notes

We are constantly bombarded by stimulus and, more than any other time in history, the ability to focus is becoming increasingly difficult. Focus, however, sits at the top of a list of virtues and abilities every man needs to develop if he hopes to experience any level of success in his life. My guest today, Navy SEAL Brandon Webb, joins me to talk about how to make better decisions under pressure, the power of self-talk and visualization, how to become more effective at "violence of action," and the 7 principles for total focus.

BRANDON WEBB My guest today is Navy SEAL Sniper and New York Times Bestselling Author, Brandon Webb. I'm absolutely blown away by the caliber of man this guy is. He spent 13 years with the Navy SEALs and was instrumental in redesigning the Sniper SEAL Training program which trained members such as Chris Kyle and some of the deadliest snipers in US military history. Upon leaving, Brandon went on to found SOFREP.com and Hurricane Media which is one of the largest media organizations that focus on news and information for the special forces community. When he's not doing all of that, he is an experimental test pilot. As you can see, the man and his resume is impressive. And, you'll get the chance to hear exactly what I mean today in my conversation with Brandon Webb.

FFN 068: Improving Intuition Aug 11, 2017

Show notes

Intuition. It's the ability to understand or recognize something about a situation or circumstance without having to analyze or break down the facts about that particular situation.

It is so critical that we, as men, learn how to hone our sense of intuition and improve our ability to listen to this little voice – however you choose to define it.

So today, as I was thinking about what I wanted to address, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about why it's important we improve our intuition and a couple quick and easy steps each and every one of us can employ to make our intuition work better.

FFN 067: Dealing with Depression Aug 04, 2017

Show notes

Depression. It's very real. It's very common. It's very destructive. We all know someone who is going through a bout with depression, and, we might even know someone who has contemplated or attempted suicide.

Suicide rates are on the rise among men. In fact, as I was researching this morning, I found that some studies have shown that suicide rates among men are more than 3.5 times that of women.

I don't know why that it is and, unfortunately, I cannot get into all the causes that may lead to what a lot of men seem to be experiencing these days but, what I would like to do is give you five strategies I've personally used to overcome getting down on myself and falling into a bout with depression.
