Another thing I would add to that list is the ability to work with your hands. To be able to fix the things that you possess when they inevitably break is a sign of intelligence and competence. It also saves so much money when you're able to fix the car and the house yourself. And I would say that passing down those skills to your children is a great blessing.

[@memyselfandi985]

I feel that the "real men don't care about how they look" mentality is grounded in misconceptions of what style is. There's the boy who buys $500 Jordan's because he believes that will buy him friends then there's the man who invests $150 in a pair of formal dress shows that will last and communicate maturity. The latter is the real man and real style.

[@andrewhenley2161]

MeMyselfAndI Correct, there is a difference between buying what is on trend and popular, and buying versatile pieces to add to your wardrobe that are high quality and will last and look good for years.

[@Numantino312]

on trend/popular has its times and places; tho yeah, buying a $70 pair of gazelles or DCs or sambas, one will get far more value mileage than say the stereotypical $500 pair of jordans. as for formal dress: every man should own a suit. whether for an interview/court/wedding. tho 99.99% of the time, i greatly prefer to be dressed to be able to easily act in any sort of emergency or protect scenario. suits literally hamper that. tho yeah, every man, and really every adult (that's to say, every woman also) has their uniform, which along with looking good, is functional, and likely conveys a measure of authority & competence. oh yeah. fits them right too.

I know this is late, but just recently found your channel. I’ve found the best way to learn to communicate is to teach someone who wants to learn a skill for a stressful situation. What I mean is being able to communicate well enough to teach someone a new skill, then stress them out and be able to flip the switch back to a calm and collective teacher. The best example I can think of is teaching and testing others in combat medicine. You have to be calm and communicate effectively to teach the basic skills, but also be aggressive enough that you can stress them out and make them realize how serious the training is, then calm down enough to explain what they did and did not do correctly.

As someone who studies behavioral psychology, I find it to be a common misconception ego is the enemy. Ego is the part of the self which moderates the self between social pressures and your own desires (the super ego and the id). The ego is what responds with logic and reasoning, arguable the individual part of The LOGOS (Truth). The ego is "you" within the self - gross body. Ego is the "breath of life", that separates you from unconscious life and machines. The ego, when regarded and respected, is the Hero.

Thanks man! I think you are exactly right! I was actually taught to pursue all those things from a child up. My Dad was a very good teacher, he knew what would motivate me. For instance, we used to get 100 lb sacks of feed for our cows. When I was about 8 years old, I figured I would carry one of those sacks from the van to the barn. My Dad watched me, not saying anything, let me do it, and I was able to do it because, I am naturally stronger than average, and I kept that mindset, never fearing a challenge whether mental or physical . Bottom line: if you are a Father, Foster in your children some of these attitudinal implants, let them take pride in taking difficult chsllenges.

Agree with all if these 100% & honestly needed to be reminded of this today. Would also like to add my little grain of sand to the subject. As men I feel like it's easy to focus in on all of these, our jobs, personal projects etc, which are completely necessary & important. But its also crucial to be very protective of the time we dedicate to our significant other & our family. I have struggled with this in the past and especially now a days its so easy to spend time and energy on non-priorities. But our time is sacred and having our priorities straight helps us create some much needed balance in our lives. Thanks again and nothing but love & respect all the way from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷✌🏼

I'm really glad you included self-defence, since i think that's something which is often overlooked. Personally, I've had military self-defence training that went a little past the basic training the average soldier gets in the Swiss Armed Forces (I'm a sergeant). However, there are two more skill sets which I find very important that you didn't include: 1) Cooking. One should at the very least be able to prepare a meal for one's self, but I think it's better to have a certain repertoire of dishes and cooking techniques, giving one more flexibility. Ideally, one should even be able to prepare a dish to impress guests or a date. 2) First Aid: That should be obvious, but I've seen too many people who aren't capable of putting on a simple bandage. Every man (actually, every person in general) should be able to stop a bleeding, bring someone unconscious to safety and perform CPR.

I also think the mark of a man is legacy. I think it’s important for a man to pass on his experience. IE: Finding someone to mentor. Not abdicating the responsibility of guiding others to manhood.

Phenomenal video, and I totally agree with this list.

Amazing informativo! Thank you very much. Best regards from Perú 🇵🇪 💪

This is great, you give me the knowledge my father should have pass on me but he was too busy drinking. Thank you

[@bebopbountyhead]

This video helped me a lot, as far as perspective from someone else looking to better themselves. Thank you.

[@theSilvioRoesler]

Man, what a great content. One of the few videos that I will watch again to learn more details. Immediately subscribed.

[@jeanalexandre1105]

Carlos casadonte on his book he said what is the difference between a man and a warrior. A warrior take everything as a challenge. Ordinary man eater take things as a curse or a blessing.

7:00 most people dont like my assertive communication no matter how much I try to soften it up. Seems I just have too strong of a personality and confidence. Been hard my entire life.

[@scaniajon]

Interesting point. I can relate. How do you relate to passive/agressiveness? I realized some nuance in above description often sneaks into my style of communication. Often derailing my long term ambitions.

[@cajuncrackerranch7990]

Good show. Good content and topic. Keep up the great work Ryan. Thanks.

[@MJ46.91]

Intro made me think this is just another video, but I'm happy I kept listening, such lessons could only be communicated with this level of calm and humble, peace to all brothers on your journeys

You should write a book about these 8 skills, and cover every single aspect of each skill. I'm sure it would sell

You nailed it. Unfortunately many of us who have had privileged upbringings have a difficult time mastering these. Myself included. My father who was born into poverty mastered all of them.

Sometimes I think about where I would be mentally and spiritually now had these disciplines been instilled in me growing up instead of trying to develop them now in my mid twenties. Not despairing over it but something I want to keep in mind as I raise my own children.

[@rb5344]

Thank you for your channel. My son and I needed this.

[@kilgoretrout6136]

This is good stuff for your boy.

[@BAMotorsports]

Your early videos and podcast kinda paved the way for me to take the step and start my own buisness, and also put more effort into my own KZbin channel.

Watching it for the second time. Great content. But this time I just am wondering how does he eat and 😘?

[@chloeskye1057]

Those are random things youtube suggests, though I did enjoy the podcast. One very important aspect to leadership that I feel like people are not going to understand based on what you said today is knowing when not to be the leader. While you shouldn't shrink away from leadership you should also know when someone else is better suited to be a leader at that time. This is hugely important and yet men and women often fight over it, and normally because of their ego.

[@maceoperson2622]

Very well stated sir... Definitely earned urself some new subs.. ill be passing this around to whomever will listen..

[@danielglidden9290]

I heard “discipline equals freedom” mentioned without giving Jocko a shout out

[@jenm762]

As a girl, I would agree that your list sounds like the makings of good men. Several of these I think can apply to girls as well. We are all works in progress. Keep up the good work!

[@LoranDerWanderer]

Owning your space is one of the most important for me. Meaning standing your ground for wife, family etc whatever is important to you. Making clear even if beeing in a normal day job, that there are things above all else and if anyone messes with this you are there to fight, or looking for a new job etc.
