7 Signs of Masculine Maturity | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

Order of Man

What if mastering your emotions could make you not just a better man, but a stronger leader too? This week on Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler unveils the seven signs of masculine maturity, essential for any man aiming to elevate his personal growth and leadership skills. Starting with an inspiring reading of Rudyard Kipling's timeless poem "If," Ryan sets a powerful tone for the first topic: emotional regulation. Through heartfelt personal stories, he reveals the transformative power of understanding and managing your emotions, enabling you to become a more effective protector, provider, and leader within your community and family.

He covers effective communication, emphasizing boldness, assertiveness, and taking full responsibility. It stresses self-care—physically, mentally, and emotionally—as a form of respect. Dressing well reflects pride and respect for your environment.

Ryan explores setting assertive boundaries with respect, maintaining composure in stressful situations, and improving relationships through confidence. Finally, it highlights being service-oriented as a mark of maturity, illustrated by a story about helping at a highway accident to show readiness to serve others.
