Man Alive

In this conversation we cover:

* What sovereignty is and the shift that happens when you let go of “shoulds”, expectations and asking for permission
* How stepping into being a provider more fully can call you into greatness, rather than be a burden
* The path from entitlement to deliberate and purposeful action
* The realm beyond winning and losing: the benefits of striving for mastery
* The power that comes from recognizing we ALWAYS have a choice…even when it doesn’t seem like it

Bio:
Ryan Michler spent most of his childhood without a permanent father figure. He never learned how to work on my car or had the chance to roughhouse with his dad. He didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until he was a freshman in high school.
Looking back he wonders how his life would have been different if he had a permanent male influence in his life. What would the world look like if there were more men in it? And not males, he stresses, but MEN.
Now that he has sons, he’s committed to being the dad he never had. He sees a huge need for learning how to be a better father and for strong and honorable men outside the home.
He started the Order of Man to return to our roots of masculinity — to take back what it means to be a man and to learn together from the best men the world has to offer.

Joe Bernstein has spent the last 15 years coaching, training, developing, and empowering thousands of people. First as a sales manager for Bose Corporation where he worked his way up to running multi-million dollar businesses in his mid-twenties. Then he created his own private coaching practice to liberate his life and live his mission of creating an empowered world of transformation through teaching, inspiring and coaching.

Through losing 150 lbs, thriving after a divorce early in life, ending a successful career and then building his own practice, Joe learned that we must develop who we are at the deepest levels and focus on our mindset much more than our skill set if we want long term change and a life we love.

As a private coach, Joe works with entrepreneurs, VP level leaders, and regular dudes to create anything from a healthier lifestyle to greater income doing what they love to deeper and better relationships. He knows through both personal experience and his professional work that human beings are capable of extraordinary evolution and loves facilitating that growth.
