06:50 – METAL.MEN is who we are, that's the website. That's what we are. We're a men's group of inspiration, adventure, brotherhood, so let's dig in on our interesting group of guys.

24:35 – In the METAL MEN group, guys come to us often looking for help with something they're looking for help with. You know, career advice, or you've hit a plateau in what you're doing, or you want to find out what next. You are just looking for something, right? But guys that stick around stay for the Brotherhood. That is what you're talking about, the human connection. Being in a space where meeting guys who are very similar to the way you look at things, but from many different backgrounds.

44:00 – I don't ride motorcycles anymore, the one in 600 but this is actually a specific thing. This is about commuting to work as you get in a sort of ongoing route that you get used to, and you start relaxing, which you should never do, do not become complacent, right? If there was an accident and you survive, the odds are you are going to ride a different way afterwards. How are you going to manage that risk? Sometimes you just have to accept there is a risk, and it's part of life, right? The fifth thing that we have out of the eight is our BROTHERHOOD. Successful MEN need other successful men. We come from a community and metal of heart centeredness. METAL is completely independent. We are not affiliated with any publishing, religious, political, etc. We are an independent community.

1:05:40 – The answer to that is actually brotherhood and community. It's about connecting with guys who've been very successful or are on the way to being very successful, who can then lean in and just be with you because they're in the same place. Choosing conscious Brotherhood is different than just meeting guys when you're out in the world. If you've got kids, you meet the friends, you meet your kids, friends, and fathers. What do you have in common? Likely not very much, but you've got your kids in common, and so you'll end up in this kind of hinterland of having these men, male relationships around you. You don't really have anything in common, and you couldn't really say, well, you know, I'm in a really dark depression because my dream came true six weeks ago.

01:20:59 – Final Words

I think I can sum up what you're talking about in terms of sort of a personal development frame, which is you, you seem to be a perfect example of a guy who knows himself more. Now, when you were a kid, you didn't know yourself then, and there are lessons that you go through to know yourself better. The secret to happiness in your late 40s, early 50s and onwards is knowing yourself, and it's finding your purpose and understanding where your weaknesses are. Impulse control, if you come from a family where you have addiction in the family, just be aware that may well be integrated into your DNA and in a way that you could fall off that wagon pretty quick. Just be conscious of it, that is a thing. Know yourself.
