078: Become The Man You Were Meant To Be, A Man of Substance with Ryan Michler

In order to be a man of abundance you will want to be a protector, provider, and presider over yourself, your family, your business and your community. This is the conversation today. Ryan Michler is the founder and creator of the Order of Man Podcast and the Iron Council. We have a very candid conversation about what it means to be a man, as well as a man of abundance.Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today.Ryan believes many of the world’s most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders. It has now become his life’s mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities.You can find Ryan blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.Time Stamped Show Notes(click a time stamp below to time travel directly to that point in the conversation.)[spp-timestamp time="4:20"] So, where are you at in the World?Southern Utah[spp-timestamp time="4:45"] Attitude of GratitudeI've got a ton to be grateful for.My son's 9th birthdayI'm grateful all four of my children and my wife.[spp-timestamp time="5:38"] Let's get PersonalI did not have a male role model growing upMy wife and I hit rock bottom and ended up in our separation.Business was not going greatSo I started working on myself as a manWe launched Order of Man two years ago[spp-timestamp time="9:45"] What do you think holds most men back from sharing their stories?Fear of ridicule, rejection, mocking and potential failure.Knowing it's all on the individual[spp-timestamp time="12:28"] Order of Man is not a "safe space" for men.[spp-timestamp time="15:26"] Kick in the Gut MomentThe biggest was when my wife and I went through the separation.[spp-timestamp time="16:00"] Enough is Enough MomentI realized I could not control my wife or any other person.
