Ryan Michler: The Order of Man – Teaching Guys How to Be Masculine Men (AoL 082)
In today’s world, many would say that a lot of men have lost their masculinity.
That’s why guys like Neil Strauss, Jordan Harbinger, John Eldredge, and Brett McKay are as well known as they are.
They specialize in helping men get better in their lives. However, they each do so in very different ways.
Today’s guest, Ryan Michler, is adding his name to that list with his organization, the Order of Men.
I’m really thrilled to have him on as helping guys step into their own has a special meaning to me.
In fact, it’s one of the reasons I became a Mason. I wanted to join an organization that has been all about developing men as functional parts of their community.
In this session with Ryan, we discuss a number of topics including what inspired him to start Order of Man, how he’s built the group in such a short period of time, and what it might look like to be part of the organization.
As always, thanks for listening, and enjoy the show!
