Published: April 22, 2020, 10:04 a.m.

“Now that I have sons, I’m committed to being the dad that I never had. We do all kinds of great things together – sports, build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til we’re exhausted. As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for strong and honourable men outside of the home.” - Ryan Michler(Order of Man Website)

My guest today is the founder of the Order of Man movement and the host of the hugely successful podcast of the same name that reaches millions of men around the world. But Ryan is first and foremost a father and a husband and he shares some of the excellent lessons he has learned along the way to becoming to the man his family needs and deserves. Ryan and I have a wide-ranging conversation on what it means to be an effective father, husband and man in general, delving into discipline and consequences, applying the right kind and amount of pressure on our kids to achieve desired results and fostering our children’s interests so they can find meaning and purpose in life. Ryan gives us so much immediately actionable food for thought impresses upon us the significance of being intentional with our time so that we can show up as we want to in all the areas of our life as we work to bring the men we were meant to be.
