JONATHAN ISAAC | Becoming Bold as Lions Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Most of us would like to believe that in a moment we are called to make a stand on our principles, we would do it without hesitation. But can we say for certain we would act in accordance with what we believe when confronted with the risk of social alienation, ostracization from our friends and family, potential loss of a job, and the financial insecurity that comes with it?

That's exactly what my guest, NBA star Jonathan Isaac, had to deal with when he decided to stand for the National Anthem when all of his teammates took a knee during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd case. Today, we talk about his decision to do so, why people place labels on and attempt to dehumanize others, facing your fears by walking with Christ, the power of social media and group think, and becoming bold as lions.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Choosing to make a stand
Loving each other the way that God loves us
Highly emotional situations require restraint
Hypocrisy in the faith
Racism is cured by a change in someones heart
The message often gets lost in a protest
When God's plan doesn't align with our plan
Staying in your lane while being authentic to yourself

Show notes

JOHN KIM | Solid Self vs. Pseudo Self Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

I've spent a ton of time over the past several weeks really contemplating my performance and how I'm showing up both personally and professionally for my family, friends, and those of you who tune into what we're doing here with Order of Man. It's been a lot of time of self-reflection and, as challenging as it can be and has been in the past, it's been therapeutic and helped me get back on the path I want to travel. And, speaking of therapeutic, my guest today is John Kim, AKA The Angry Therapist. Today, we talk about the differences between liking and loving yourself and which is better to strive for, why we have to be careful of stamping ourselves as failures, how to uncover false beliefs burned in our subconscious, the power of identifying our value systems, and how to move away from the "pseudo self" to the "solid self."

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Men respond, boys react
The value in believing in something greater than yourself
Relationships require a lot of work
Differing perspectives on "my truth"
How we can keep from hitting rock bottom
Being authentic vs. being a jerk
Defining the meaning of success
Outlining common "false beliefs" about ourselves
Defining your sense of worth

FRANK SCHWARTZ | Dangerous, Dirty, and Difficult Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

One of the greatest challenges we face as men is finding a like-minded band of brothers we can rely on when needed and we can serve as they need us. In the ease of modernity, we've been led to believe we can and have to go at life alone. That just isn't the case. My guest today is the President of F3 Nation, whom a lot of you are familiar with. His name is Frank Schwartz and he goes by the nickname, "Dark Helmet." Today, Frank and I talk about the power of fitness, fellowship, and faith in a man's life, overcoming the feeling of dissatisfaction, becoming a high-impact man, our desperation for love and recognition (yes, even in men), and the positive benefits of engaging in dangerous, dirty, and difficult pursuits.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Helping men find their mission
Providing structure to men through fitness
Strengthening the relationship with yourself, others, and your creator
What the church is supposed to feel like
Leading in a decentralized organization
The importance of strong yet simple culture
What our world presents as true is often wrong
