On episode #157, I sit down with Richard Cooper, entrepreneur, private equity investor, YouTuber, high performance coach & author of The Unplugged Alpha.

Richard Cooper is known for cutting through the BS and delivering the cold hard truth on many topics. Including financial services and intersexual dynamics between men and women.

In our society today, we see a weakening of the Western male, made clear in media, Hollywood, and even ingrained in our school systems. Throughout this episode, we confront these issues head-on.

Anchored in personal experiences with major life events like the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the intricacies of divorce, and the rise of single-parent households, we unpack the profound impact these have on one’s professional and personal decisions. 

We discuss the importance of controlling our emotions, maintaining focus, and setting boundaries. Richard touches on the new wave of promiscuity and the potential dangers posed by platforms like OnlyFans. We lay out the red flags to watch out for in relationships and money matters. Finally, we delve into the pitfalls of alcohol consumption and the crucial role of personal responsibility.
