PETE ROBERTS | Why Scrappiness Could Be Your Greatest Asset

from Order of Man · host Ryan Michler

We all know that one guy who is tough, resilient, loves a fight, and can make things happen, even when he's behind. I think, in a way, we all want to be that guy. I'm convinced that a man who is scrappy is a man who can achieve everything he wants in this world – even if it first seems out of reach. My guest today, Pete Roberts, agrees. And, he knows a thing or two about the resourcefulness and scrappiness it takes to revive an American tradition – manufacturing. You know him as the founder of Origin and Jocko Fuel. Today, we talk about the power of purpose, how and why a man needs to define success, regular people building irregular things, what he looks for in people to hire and promote to leadership in his organization, and making yourself capable of carrying burdens.
