Most of us were raised to believe that a man is defined by what he's chasing: the money, the woman, the title, the next goal. And for a big part of life, that's exactly right. You should be hungry, and you should be building. But what happens when yo... more

  • Such an important mission!

    I started listening to Ryan in 2016 when I was just starting my own personal development journey. I’ve been able to apply a lot of of the things that he has taught to my own life and it has made me a better man. I’ve even started my own podcast or Christian band and a lot of that inspiration came from Ryan. If you’re a man who wants to start being the man he’s supposed to be you should listen to this podcast. And not just listen but apply lessons that he teaches.

  • Brother hood of man

    I’ve been listening for years off and on. I’m now a proud father of a 3month old boy, and I’m going back to the episodes on fatherhood and it’s been great. I think this podcast has helped me develop as a man and a father. Thanks Ryan!

  • Made Me Show Up Like I Said I Would

    I’ve been listening to Order of Man for a while now and it’s made a real impact.

    This isn’t hype or feel-good motivation. It’s about taking ownership, being consistent, and actually doing what you say you’re going to do.

    It’s pushed me to be more present with my family, set better boundaries, and show up with more integrity day to day. Not perfectly, but a hell of a lot better than before.

    It forced me to look at where I was falling short instead of making excuses.

    I’ve still got work to do,... more

  • Keep Moving

    Been listening for years. Joined the IC for 2 years and 9 months. Will continue to be a listener. The leadership is not static. Very dynamic with changes and improvements. The AMAs have gotten better over the years. Always love Kipp and Ryan’s perspectives mixed on a topic. The 1-star negative reviews are comical. They all sound butt-hurt from arguing on the internet while they’re supposed to be working. Hands on the plow gentleman!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IAN WENDT | Brotherhood Isn't a Luxury
Q: Is it like deliberate? Like we're gonna do this, this, this. We're gonna enact these policies. We're gonna put these things in place. Or is it a byproduct of hate?
Wendt argues that division can involve both deliberate efforts and opportunistic use of events, while emphasizing that people and institutions also contribute to it and that individual situations require nuance.
A Cheating Friend, Earning Back Your Wife's Trust, and When Keeping the Peace Becomes Cowardice | ASK ME ANYTHING
Q: My wife has watched me start and quit a dozen self-improvement kicks. This time it's different, but she rolls her eyes every time I bring it up. How do I earn back credibility with someone who's seen me fail so many times?
They recommend making small commitments and following through consistently without announcing a new plan or demanding trust. Credibility develops through repeated actions and honoring one's word.
IAN WENDT | Brotherhood Isn't a Luxury
Q: Why are guys so apathetic when it comes to connecting, to saying yes, to getting with other guys, to joining men's groups, things like that?
Michler says men are often exhausted by work, family and financial demands, and many do not believe they need connection until a serious problem makes them seek it.
A Cheating Friend, Earning Back Your Wife's Trust, and When Keeping the Peace Becomes Cowardice | ASK ME ANYTHING
Q: I found out my best friend of 20 years is cheating on his wife. I know her well and our kids play together. He doesn't know I know. Do I confront him, tell her or stay out of it?
The hosts advise approaching the friend directly, calmly, and with empathy rather than telling his wife or ignoring the situation. If the affair is confirmed, they say he should take responsibility and tell his wife himself.
Firing Your Friend, Leading Your Family When in Doubt, and Talking to Your Dad Before It's Too Late | ASK ME ANYTHING
Q: How do you handle firing your best friend without losing a 20-year friendship?
Ryan recommends giving clear feedback before the decision, then being direct about the termination and taking responsibility for it. The friendship may be affected, but disguising the reason deprives the employee of useful clarity.
