Purpose is a factor of life that every man knows will improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, we seem to be in an era when purpose is increasingly abysmal in the lives of too many men. Men in all walks and stages of life are floundering around aimlessly, wondering why they’re anxious, depressed, and alone.
My guest today, Garrett Unclebach, former Navy SEAL, is a man who is intimately familiar with why and how purpose drives men to step up, take charge of their lives, and succeed. We unpack why a man must look beyond himself, how surrendering in certain circumstances could lead you to an incredible place you’ve never considered, the power of equanimity and how to cultivate it, why being faithful when you have nothing leads to a life of prosperity and abundance, and how to judge what you should be doing and who you should be doing it with.
Garrett Unclebach is a former U.S. Navy SEAL turned entrepreneur, leadership coach, and speaker, well-known for his commitment to faith-driven living and empowering men to realize their full potential. He enlisted at 19, served six years with SEAL Team 3, completed two deployments and, in that time, learned the value of servant leadership and resilience. Post-military, Garrett transitioned into real estate development and business coaching, co-founding The Impossible Life Podcast, where he challenges men to pursue purpose, bold faith, and biblical masculinity.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Garrett leads the men's ministry at Elevate Life Church in Frisco, Texas, where over 300 men gather weekly for growth and accountability. He’s a devoted husband and father, viewing his roles in family, business, and ministry as interconnected avenues to serve others and honor God. Garrett's life mission is to help men live beyond themselves, embracing a life of discipline, service, and spiritual alignment.
Every time I talk about what I’m currently reading, you and the rest of the men seem to listen and engage. I’m very glad so many of you are interested in how to develop and improve yourselves through the written word but with so many choices, it’s hard to decipher which books are worth reading and which books ought to stay “on read (as the kids would say).”
That’s why I created the Order of Man bookshelf. On the bookshelf, you’ll find the books that I’m currently reading and books on crucial topics like masculinity, self-mastery, fatherhood, and philosophy.
Right now, I have 25 books on the list and I’d encourage you to pick 3-4 for the remainder for 2025. Maybe that’s The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell, Men’s Work by Connor Beaton, or even my first book Sovereignty by yours truly.
Regardless of what you choose, this is a curated library of books that I have personally read and ones that I think you should read too.
