    Ryan Michler - Brotherhood, Isolation, And Rising Above The Noise

    Talking points: friendship, masculinity, Ryan Michler and I have been in the men's work biz for a long time, and we've seen the changes—some good, some bad—in how men are talked about and marketed to by our culture and by the wellness and therapy industries. We dig into the necessity of male friendship in the face of growing isolationism, the upcoming Men's Forge, and a whole lot more. Listen in, team. (00:00:00) - Intro and why does it seem like men are having a harder time maintaining relationships? (00:12:27) - On men needing social time and where modern therapy misses the mark (00:17:56) - How are men contributing to their own isolation and loneliness? (00:31:44) - On the importance of some confrontation in male friendships (00:38:32) - Why men need brotherhood as well as challenge, and what to do if you want deeper friendships with other men 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. He 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 him blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.
