Losing Our Sovereignty | Robots, Isolation, and End Times

In this episode, host Ian Wendt sits down with Ryan Michler — father, combat veteran, and founder of Order of Man, one of the world’s leading men’s leadership platforms. Ryan shares powerful insights on masculinity, responsibility, faith, and what it truly means to lead in your family, business, and community.

After serving in the Army National Guard and building a career in financial services, Ryan launched Order of Man in 2015 to create honest conversations around purpose and manhood. Today, the movement reaches millions through its podcast, live events, and the Iron Council brotherhood.

Together, Ian and Ryan explore ownership, resilience, and practical ways men can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — with the core message that while your past may not be your fault, your future is your responsibility.
