Most guys are told to “just be nice” and “work harder.”

But that advice is ruining their relationships.

In this episode, we sat down with  @EntrepreneursInCars   — author of The Unplugged Alpha and one of the most influential voices in men’s self-development — to talk about why so many entrepreneurs sabotage their love lives without even realizing it.

Richard breaks down the uncomfortable truth:
- Why high achievers attract the wrong partners
- How losing frame kills desire
- What to look for (and avoid) when choosing a long-term partner
- And how to build a life that supports both business and relationships

This one’s for the founders, creators, and ambitious men who are tired of feeling like they have to choose between success and love.

If you want to build wealth without losing yourself (or your relationship), this is your playbook.
