Podcasts about field notes

Pain is part of life. Breakups, divorce, job loss, grief, frustration - every man faces suffering at some point. The difference between men who grow stronger and men who grow bitter isn't whether they suffer, but how they carry it. In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler explains what it really means to "suffer like a man." Not suppressing emotions. Not performing toughness. But learning how to metabolize pain into strength, discipline, clarity, and usefulness. Ryan shares five powerful principles that will help you stop wasting your suffering and start using it as fuel for growth, leadership, and resilience - in your work, your family, and your life.

Our guests are Kelsey McClellan and Andrew McClellan, the husband-and-wife team behind Heart & Bone Signs, a Chicago-based studio specializing in gold leaf and hand-painted signage.In this episode, Kelsey and Andrew speak with host Christian Solorzano about their journey from casting aluminum mushrooms together in an undergraduate sculpture class to becoming two of Chicago's most respected sign painters. They share how discovering gold leaf window signs on Michigan Avenue led them to cold-call the man whose signature they found—Robert Frese, who would become their mentor and closest friend in the city.The conversation explores Chicago's sign painting legacy, from the Beverly Sign Co. and the design innovation known as "The Chicago Look" to the ghost signs that still haunt the city's brick walls. Kelsey and Andrew recount their effort to save two 1920s signs from a Ravenswood building slated for demolition—a project that led to their book The Golden Era of Sign Design, a collaboration with Field Notes, and a permanent installation at the American Sign Museum.They discuss the realities of running a business as a married couple, the discipline of practicing simple brushstrokes, and why they believe the energy poured into handmade work is something viewers can sense—even if they can't explain it. The conversation closes with their advice for aspiring sign painters and a reflection on what Chicago stands to lose if its neon and ghost signs disappear.Music by the band Eighties Slang.

In today's episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler challenges one of modern self-help culture's most sacred ideas: vulnerability. While honesty, humility, and emotional awareness are essential to growth, Ryan makes the case that vulnerability - when practiced without discernment, responsibility, or purpose - often becomes performative, destabilizing, and counterproductive, especially for men in leadership roles. This episode is not an argument against emotion. It's an argument for self-mastery, containment, and earned honesty.

Can AI improve your quality of life, not just your productivity?   Keynote speaker Amy Jo Martin explores leadership, AI, and human-centered decision-making.  In this solo episode of the Why Not Now? Podcast, Amy shares early field notes from The Reinvention Experiment, a year-long AI self-experiment exploring vitality, clarity, and what it means to live well and lead effectively in an AI-driven world.   Rather than biohacking or performance optimization, Amy introduces the concept of Quantified Soul, combining hard data like sleep tracking, screen time, biometrics, and wearable data with qualitative inputs including journaling, emotional regulation, gratitude, and relationship check-ins.   Key insights include why "a wobble is data, not drama," how journaling with AI can help regulate the nervous system, and why cognitive load often creates more stress than conflict. Amy also breaks down what she's tracking, the AI prompts she uses daily, and how AI can surface blind spots instead of reinforcing existing narratives.   This episode is intentionally raw and unfinished. You're stepping inside the experiment itself and exploring how AI can support better decision-making, reflection, and long-term fulfillment, not just efficiency.   Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.  Learn more about keynote topics and availability: https://amyjomartin.com/speaking   Get Amy Jo's newsletter: amyjomartin.com/newsletter

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points.  Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question.  When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation.  Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them.  Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes.  Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists.  And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world.  It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough.  Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection.  That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.  During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today.  Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents.  These were all original thoughts and observations.  Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books.  What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini.  This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude.  But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes.  Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored.  When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45.  And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later.  And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand.  I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information.  We don't have that problem today.  So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep.  I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from.  For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address.  This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly.  Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away.  Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon.  Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call.  These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties.  Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time.  For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed.  I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years.  Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too.  How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need.  Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems.  This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time.  I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password.  As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen.  If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly.  However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method.  I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note.  My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there.  My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months.  My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects.  The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it)  I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year.  The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable.  And that's it, Ricardo.  You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant)  And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you.  I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

As we head into 2026, Ryan Michler breaks down 10 destructive money mindsets that quietly sabotage men's ability to build real wealth. Drawing from his experience as a former financial advisor, Ryan explains why income is not the same as wealth, how debt has been falsely normalized, and why outsourcing responsibility for your finances is a losing strategy. He challenges the belief that "more money will fix everything" and dismantles the idea that your situation is somehow different from everyone else's. This episode is a hard-hitting call to take ownership of your financial decisions, develop discipline, and shift your focus from chasing money to creating real value in the world. Key Topics Covered Why procrastination destroys wealth faster than bad investments The difference between earning money and building wealth How debt has been normalized - and why it's costing you freedom Why outsourcing your finances weakens your sovereignty The danger of entitlement-based spending ("I deserve this") Why more money magnifies problems instead of fixing them Investing vs. gambling - and why doing nothing is the riskiest move Why you must understand money instead of delegating it The myth of being "special" or financially different Why money isn't the problem - behavior and priorities are Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct and uncompromising message: success never happens by accident. He challenges listeners to confront the ways they may be drifting through life, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally leading themselves. Ryan explores how comfort, avoidance, and distraction quietly compound into years of lost potential, and contrasts that with the strength and freedom created through discipline, structure, and brotherhood. This episode calls men to choose hardship on purpose, define their standards, and begin taking directional action immediately instead of waiting for motivation to arrive.

Most men don't need more information - they need fewer lies. The most common lie? "I'm fine." In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan breaks down why "fine" is how men drift, how standards quietly erode, and why most men wait until catastrophe forces them to take their life seriously. This isn't an emotional exercise. It's a logical, factual audit of your body, relationships, finances, mission, and integrity - with no stories, no excuses, and no rationalizations. Ryan challenges you to stop protecting your weak spots, identify where you're cutting corners, and draw one non-negotiable line in the sand that you enforce daily. You don't rise to your potential. You fall to what you tolerate. This episode will push you to: Take an honest inventory of your life Cut distractions, excuses, and self-deception Set one standard that changes everything Stop waiting for pain to force change Start today - not January 1st SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00 - The Lie of "I'm Fine" 01:55 - How Men Drift Without Realizing It 03:02 - Why You Must Audit Your Life 05:21 - Body, Marriage, Finances, Mission 07:01 - Where You're Lying to Yourself 09:02 - You Fall to What You Tolerate 10:41 - What Weakens You Is a Liability 11:23 - One Non-Negotiable Standard 12:13 - Discipline Doesn't Wait 13:14 - Stop Waiting for Catastrophe 15:23 - Audit Your Life Before It's Too Late 17:47 - Iron Council & Final Charge Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

At the visitor center of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, artist and scientific illustrator Jane Kim painted the Wall of Birds to celebrate the evolution and diversity of birds. Completed in December 2015, the massive mural depicts nearly 250 birds — and several of their ancient predecessors — on a map of the world where each lives. Jane worked closely with scientific advisors to ensure that each portrait accurately represents the bird's features and behaviors, including many species — like the Three-wattled Bellbird — that appear to sing from their place on the wall.Read more about Jane Kim in Field Notes!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In this Field Notes episode, Cal slows things down to share a simple way to think about soil health principles that actually sticks when you're in the pasture. Instead of another list to memorize, this episode introduces CRADLE, a practical framework that organizes well-known soil health principles into something easier to remember and apply in real-world conditions.In this episode, we explore:Why soil health principles are easy to understand but hard to recall in real-world decision momentsHow context shapes the way soil health principles are applied on different operationsHow the core soil health ideas fit together through the CRADLE frameworkWhere disturbance, soil cover, diversity, living roots, and livestock fit within that bigger pictureA simple way to step back and diagnose what might be missing when things aren't working as expectedWhat CRADLE stands for:C — ContextR — Reduce DisturbanceA — Armor on the SoilD — DiversityL — Living RootsE — Embrace LivestockWhy listen to this episode?If you understand soil health principles but struggle to recall or apply them under real-world pressure, this episode gives you a mental model you can actually use. CRADLE helps move soil health from theory into day-to-day decision-making — without adding complexity.Looking aheadNext week's Field Notes tackles a listener question on low-cost corral options, focusing on what actually matters, what you can skip, and practical ways to work animals safely without overspending on infrastructure.Thanks to our partnersField Notes is made possible by the continued support of Noble Research Institute and Redmond Agriculture.

A larger than life figure in the creative world, Aaron Draplin has been designing everything from logos to posters since 1995. Few designers are as prolific as Aaron. He's the founder of Draplin Design Co. (DDC). Priding himself on craftsmanship and quality, the DDC has made stuff for Field Notes, Esquire, Nike, Red Wing, Burton Snowboards, Ford, and he's even designed a US stamp. Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/aaron-draplin We caught up with Aaron in person at The James Brand studio in Portland, Oregon, where he walked us through an origin story that begins with a meteor in Navajo country and winds through the skate parks of Michigan in the 80s, the snowboard culture of the 90s, and eventually to one of the most recognizable voices in American graphic design. But this isn't just a conversation about making cool stuff—though there's plenty of that. Aaron opens up about the work ethic he learned from his parents, and why being prolific isn't about perfection—it's about experimentation, and loving your work enough to show up every single day. We talk about collecting, organizing thousands of ideas, and what it means to run a design practice where you can still work on your own terms. And throughout it all, Aaron brings the humor, the heart, and the hard-won wisdom of someone who's never forgotten what it's like to work a crappy job—and who reminds himself every day just how cool a life in graphic design really is. Bio Aaron Draplin was born in Detroit in 1973 and raised in the small village of Central Lake in Northern Michigan—population 800. After a brief stint at Northwestern Michigan Community College, he moved west to Bend, Oregon at 19 to chase the snowboarding life, and started designing graphics for Solid Snowboards. To fund his winters, he worked summers as everything from a traveling fair pizza wagon cook, to a dishwasher in Anchorage, Alaska. He eventually returned to the Midwest to finish his design degree at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, before heading back west to become art director of Snowboarder Magazine in Southern California. In 2002, he moved to Portland to work as a senior designer at Cinco Design, where he worked on brands like Gravis, Helly Hansen, and Nixon. In 2004, Aaron founded Draplin Design Co., working with clients ranging from Nike and Patagonia to Sub Pop Records and the Obama Administration. In 2009, he co-founded Field Notes with Jim Coudal and Coudal Partners—a collaboration that would become one of the most successful and beloved stationery brands in America. That same year, he gave his first public talk, which spiraled into a speaking career that's now reached over 580 engagements worldwide. His book Pretty Much Everything was published by Abrams in 2016 and is now in its 13th printing. At 51, Aaron continues to run his fiercely independent design practice from a backyard shop in Portland, Oregon. *** This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Most men obsess over goals - the outcomes, the achievements, the shiny targets. But goals don't build men. Standards do. In today's Field Notes, Ryan breaks down why standards define your identity, how they outperform goals in every way, and why your life only changes when you elevate the rules you live by. He shares powerful examples, including recovering from a major injury, why men fail when they rely on motivation, and how to build standards that make you unshakable. Ryan also outlines a four-step framework to reset your identity, eliminate weak standards, and cement the behaviors that transform your life. If you want 2026 to be different, this episode explains exactly where to start. Key Takeaways Goals are emotionally dependent, standards are identity-based. Standards keep you anchored in the present - goals keep you trapped in the future. Goals collapse under adversity; standards strengthen you because they're non-negotiable. A man becomes powerful when he lives by a code with zero negotiation. Your life changes when your identity upgrades, not when your goals get bigger. Four-step framework to build standards that stick: -Identify the man you refuse to be. -Build non-negotiables in all four quadrants (Calibration, Connection, Condition, Contribution). -Build accountability. -Enforce consequences when you violate your own standards. 00:00 - Introduction   00:09 - Why Most Men Get Goals Backwards   01:20 - Goals Don't Build Men — Standards Do   02:33 - Examples of Weak vs. Strong Standards   04:34 - Ryan's Pec Tear: Standards in Adversity   06:24 - A Man Rises or Falls to His Standards   07:50 - Why Goals Fail Men   09:33 - How Goals Delay Action and Keep Men Stuck   11:23 - Goals Collapse Under Stress   12:57 - Standards Create Structure and Strength   14:38 - How Standards Transform a Man   16:10 - Standards Prevent Moral Drift   17:32 - Building Trust Through Consistency   18:57 - Standards Make Men Anti-Fragile   21:03 - Stop Waiting for "All Green Lights"   22:43 - Identity Before Action   23:28 - Fast Progress Comes From Identity Shifts   24:26 - The "Light Yourself on Fire" Lesson   25:14 - Reverse Engineering Goals Into Standards   25:57 - Step 1: Identify the Man You Refuse to Be   27:38 - Making Weak Behaviors Repulsive   29:31 - Step 2: Non-Negotiables in the Four Quadrants   31:32 - Step 3: Accountability   33:00 - Step 4: Enforce Consequences   33:42 - Final Challenge: Raise Your Standards   35:45 - Iron Council Promotion   36:33 - Preview Call Details   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

What if your greatest leadership move isn't climbing the ladder, but choosing to show up differently, every single day? Nikki sits down with Wesley Bender, a leadership coach who believes the most powerful leaders aren't defined by titles or personality types, but by their actions. Together, they unpack the bold idea that leadership is a choice, grounded in behavior and built through self-efficacy: the belief that your actions can shape outcomes. Wesley brings a refreshing challenge to traditional frameworks and dives into why admired leaders stand out: not just because they drive performance, but because people actually want to follow them. From personal stories to practical takeaways, this episode is a masterclass in what it means to model the way, at home, in the workplace, and everywhere in between. Tune in to rethink what leadership really looks like.

In this Friday Field Notes, Ryan explains why so many men have lost the ability to speak up for themselves and how cultural conditioning has silenced masculine confidence and clarity. He covers the cost of silence, how lack of self advocacy leads to resentment and instability, and why reclaiming your voice is a foundational leadership skill. Ryan also provides practical language men can use in relationships, work, friendships, and with themselves to rebuild confidence and assertiveness. This episode is a direct challenge to the mindset that staying quiet keeps the peace. Ryan shows that speaking up is not selfish. It is responsible and necessary if you want to protect, provide, and preside for the people you care about.

Walk into the visitor center at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and you'll be greeted by a massive mural called the Wall of Birds. About the size of a tennis court, the mural shows a map of the world covered in 270 life-sized portraits of birds and their relatives — ranging in size from the 30-foot-long, feathered dinosaur Yutyrranus hauli to the tiny Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird. Artist and scientific illustrator Jane Kim partnered with the Cornell Lab to create this epic celebration of the evolution and diversity of birds, which was completed in December 2015.Read more about Jane in Field Notes!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct challenge to men who've been giving away their power. He breaks down how modern culture, comfort, and conditioned beliefs push men into outsourcing responsibility - and how reclaiming sovereignty starts with ownership, discipline, and intentional action. Ryan explains why accountability feels heavy, why most men avoid the truth, and why no one is coming to save them. He closes with practical steps to take back control and a reminder that transformative change begins from within. A hard-hitting message for men ready to stop drifting and start leading.

I never had someone to teach me how to move through life gently. No guide, no patient voice, no steady hands over mine showing me where the next step was. Most of what I know, I learned the hard way by piecing together lessons from confusion, exhaustion, and rules that never seemed meant for someone like me. I know there are others out there like that too. Fellow moonkips trying their best, spinning plates no one ever explained, carrying anger they didn't earn and shame that was never theirs. People who grew up navigating emotions, relationships, and expectations alone, wishing someone had slowed down long enough to guide them with kindness. Moon's Field Notes is for us. For the ones who weren't taught but kept learning anyway. For the ones who had to become their own caretakers, their own narrators, their own soft landing. If anything here helps you feel a little less alone on your path then these notes are doing exactly what I wished someone had done for me.

Field Notes That Win Fights — Documentation as a Daily HabitStop arguing and start showing. In this Hard Hat Headspace episode, walk a stadium retrofit with a foreman who turns four quick photos and a 5-line Doc Card into faster RFIs, cleaner change orders, and fewer “we'll circle back” delays. You'll learn the four-shot rule (wide → medium → detail → measurement), wall-posted plans with QR folders, a visible decision clock that kills email limbo, and simple impact math (crew × minutes) that gets you paid. Backed by industry research and real jobsite wins, this is the field-ready documentation playbook every foreman and super can use—today—to protect crews, accelerate decisions, and keep work moving. #BeNEXT

Field Notes

In today's Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler shares a powerful message built around a simple but meaningful reminder: your dust, your rust, and your scars do NOT define you - they tell your story. After finding an old, rusted metal grid and working to restore it, Ryan reflects on how men often feel discarded, overlooked, or worn down by life. Through this analogy, he unpacks five key truths about identity, hardship, and resilience. If you've ever felt beat up by life, sidelined by circumstances, or dismissed by others, this episode will remind you of your worth and your purpose. In This Episode: Why your scars are proof that you've lived, not that you're broken How stagnation creates "rust" in your life How to wipe away habits, attitudes, and behaviors that no longer serve you Why rejection doesn't define your value How to turn your scars into stories that help others Five Lessons From This Episode: What clings to you is not who you are Rust only forms when you sit still You can wipe away what no longer serves you Your scars are your stories - your mess is your message Someone's trash is another person's treasure SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Introduction 00:27 – The Rusted Metal Grid Story 02:51 – Men Feeling Discarded 03:20 – Five Lessons About Dust and Rust 03:30 – #1 You Are Not Defined by What Clings to You 05:16 – #2 Rust Only Forms When You Sit Still 07:29 – Stop Wearing Other Men's Names 08:07 – Become the Man Who Leads 09:30 – #3 Wipe Away What No Longer Serves You 10:27 – #4 Your Scars Are Proof You've Lived 12:40 – Turning Scars Into Stories 13:50 – The Restored Rusty Truck Story 14:46 – #5 Someone's Trash Is Another's Treasure 16:04 – Being Valued at Home 17:19 – Recap of the Five Lessons 18:00 – Final Encouragement & Closing CTA Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this week's Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler breaks down how men can reclaim masculinity in an overly feminized culture. He outlines five principles for leading, protecting, and providing in a world that often mislabels masculine virtues as toxic.

Leadership requires discernment — strength and compassion both matter. Reclaiming masculinity means earning influence through merit and integrity.
