    <p>How many times has something happened in life where we <strong>blamed someone besides ourselves </strong>for the outcome? Didn’t get a promotion: it’s your bosses fault for being greedy! Ran late to work: it’s all the other drivers faults, not yours! Investment property having problems: it’s the tenant doing all the damage!</p><p><strong>Ryan Michler</strong>, founder of the <a href="https://www.orderofman.com/">Order of Man</a>, sees this sort of <strong>victim mentality</strong> as a massive block to our full potential. He makes the well-put point that all we can do is control our effort, we can’t control others.</p><p>This realization didn’t come easy, though. Ryan realized this after a tough fight with his partner, leading him to reevaluate not only their relationship, but the way he shifted blame on others, in an unhealthy way.</p><p>Now Ryan interviews the men that he looks up to on his own podcast, all while running his organization/brotherhood of those part of the “Order of Man”.</p><p>It’s not easy to stay humble and calm all the time, especially in the state of our current world, but Ryan does as good of a job as any to remind us all that <strong>our future is in our hands</strong>, and all we can do is try our best, consistently.</p><p>In This Episode We Cover:</p><ul>
