Is the American Dream Dead or Alive? - With Mark Matson.
Many men believe the American Dream is dead. Just take a look that the upcoming Presidential election and you’ll often hear how many will, in utter surrender and defeat, say, “My vote doesn’t count anyways so why do it?” Or, take a look at how many men will through up their hands and exclaim that there’s nothing they can do about their marriage, the economy, their job, or their circumstances. And, while there is much outside of our control, there is much still within it.
My guest today, Mark Matson, founder of Matson Money is here to tell us why experiencing the American dream is not out of reach for those who may previously have thought so. We talk about how to invest your time, money, and energy wisely, an academic approach to intelligent investing taking into consideration human brain science, discovering a whole new way to see the world, the forces standing between you and the American Dream (and how to overcome them), and the crucial importance of developing what he calls, “Your Future View.”

How to Conquer Challenges, Setbacks, and Life
With all the world has to throw at you and me, it would be easy to allow life to get the better of us. Hell, in many circles, it’s expected and tolerated, if not encouraged. That isn’t how any of us here in Order of Man choose to live our lives. Instead, we choose to step up to the challenges we face and conquer them in spite of tremendous odds.
My guest, good friend and founder of MTNOPS, Trevor Farnes, is a man who knows how to do exactly that. Today, we talk about his very humble beginnings, how he built MTNOPS into a globally recognized supplement company when his goal at the time was to serve his ailing father, why he doesn’t believe in compartmentalizing his life, how to have abundance even in scarcity, and why the most powerful place to serve is to the person you once were.

9 Archetypes of Masculinity with Mark Driscoll
If you’re paying attention even in the slightest, you know there is a clear and deliberate agenda to undermine and de-value men and the role they play in society. It’s crucial that we, as men, remain vigilant in the knowledge of that and, more importantly, continue to show up powerfully for those we wish to lead and serve.
My guest today, Mark Driscoll, has been doing this for decades specifically through his ministry of Christ. We talk about whether or not men are the problem in society, the balance between fearless courage and loving kindness, why submitting to proper authority does not make us weaker men, the key archetypes of masculinity, Christian weakness, and why curiosity will you put you on a path to becoming a better man.

Hiring Experts, Networking Effectively, and Letting People Go
Join us in this week ASK ME ANYTHING as we share our exciting preparations for an upcoming axis deer archery hunt in Hawaii. Listen in as we detail the rigorous daily archery practice sessions and the vital adjustments needed for pinpoint accuracy – reminiscent of zeroing in a rifle. We'll explore the delicate balance between high expectations and the humility that comes with such an immersive outdoor experience, emphasizing the need for adaptability, not just in hunting, but in all walks of life.
Power and leadership come with immense responsibility, a theme we tackle head-on as we discuss the contentious ideas put forth by Erik Prince and the ethical implications they carry. We scrutinize the thin line between the beneficial use and potential abuse of power, drawing insights from religious texts and philosophical musings on the human condition. In a similar vein, we navigate the intersection of personal faith and secular professional life, advocating for the integration of Christian principles in a way that respects diverse beliefs while avoiding logical fallacies in reasoning.

Redefining Masculinity and Authenticity Online with Harrison Schenck
If we have any hope of saving this great nation, we’re going to have to learn to turn to the generation behind us and equip them with the mindset of truth, righteousness, and individual responsibility. Unfortunately, much of society (including the halls of academia where they spend most of their time) are hellbent on instilling the mindset of relativism, degeneracy, and victimhood.
Today, I’m joined by Harrison Schenck of Save Your Sons to talk about what it’s going to take to turn the tide of culture for our boys who we’ll eventually call on to lead. We talk about the participation trophy generation, the warped conception of what a man is, overcoming the neediness of boys and men, when comparison can serve us, the dangers of “white knighting,” and saving our sons for and from society
