The podcast currently has 123 episodes available.
Split is one of Matt's favorite movies, simply for the concept of how our mentality can directly affect the physical manifestations that take place in our body and our life. If you've been listening to this podcast at all over the course of the past 120 episodes, you've definitely heard him talk about it. Today's guest is a man who knows all about the power of the mind, and how you can use your mentality (or rather the mentality of others) to achieve your goals.

THE MISSION
Many of the young people who would thrive the most at Acton Academy (a school founded by Matt Beaudreau), simply can’t afford it. The Essential 11 was created to fill that gap. Our goal is to provide scholarships to as many Acton Academy students in need as we possibly can. 100% of all proceeds from this podcast go directly towards sponsoring young heroes here in the Sacramento area. We know and believe that a greater future starts with greater education for more students.

Our listeners who have been with us since the beginning likely recognize this name, and anyone who is involved in the traditional masculinity space definitely knows this name. Ryan Michler was episode number 13 on the Essential 11 and it was a pleasure having him back on to speak with the men of young men Apogee.
RYAN MICHLER
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.

If you've ever wanted to hear a conversation between two Matt Beaudreau's, this is the episode for you. Matt has been in the education space for a long time and has seen how the game is played. If you've listened to any of our other episodes, you know how much he does not believe that college is necessary for success, and today's guest Isaac Morehouse shares that thinking- so much so that he built a business around it.
Character, work ethic, communication, and an ability to learn are highly valued by employers above degrees and it's something that businesses are seeing less and less of in the workplace. Isaac is working to change that and offers amazing advice to the young men of Apogee on today's episode.
ISAAC MOREHOUSE
Isaac Morehouse is the founder and CEO of Crash (a career launch platform that helps you discover your professional interests, build a strong profile to showcase your talent, and launch into the best early career opportunities) and the founder of Praxis (a college alternative that builds your skills, your network, and leads to a full-time job at a growing business).
Isaac is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of freedom and is a lifelong advocate of self-directed living and learning. He loves writing, talking, building companies, spending time with his family, and getting angry about sports teams from his home state of Michigan.

When it comes to creating the perfect day- the perfect routine- we often think we need to go above and beyond. We think our diets have to consist of green juice and waking up at obscene times to fit in all that we hope to accomplish. But today's guest makes the case that the perfect day has less to do with jamming in more things, and has more to do with doing less of the things that we know aren't beneficial. As our Apogee participants are auditing their own time in the program, there was no better man than Craig Ballantyne to talk to about how they can maximize their own days.

Despite the stereotypes, extremely jacked men are often so much more than meatheads. As we've seen previously with former guest, Mark Bell. Today's guest is another prime example of how discipline, hard work, and self-awareness translate into impeccable physical health AND incredible success in life. The patterns of success apply to all areas. And no man knows that better than Ben Pakulski.

Perspective and leadership are everything on today's episode. It's easy to fall into feeling sorry for yourself. It's easy to avoid putting in the work because you're afraid of failure. It's easier to blame someone else. So that's the route many people take. For the few, while their peers may be avoiding the work, they're seeking it out. They're putting in the reps. They have gratitude for the challenging path. Because they know that's where refinement takes place. And no one knows that better than our guest, Leif Babin.

The pure trap of life isn't when you're in a situation that feels like hell. Life's biggest trap is when you're comfortable. When you're in a position where you could achieve your potential if you applied yourself, but where you're at seems "good enough" and you choose to reside there for way longer than you should. As today's guest explains, he realized this is where he was, and he became so disgusted that he would take such an easy route, he knew he needed to make a big change. That big change, as you will find out in today's episode, has paid off big for Russ Ruffino.
