In this episode, Michael Sartain — former Air Force captain, social dynamics expert, and founder of Men of Action — breaks down the science of attraction, how fitness fuels confidence, and why most men are failing in today's dating market.

We dive into why being the "nice guy" doesn't work, how evolutionary psychology explains what women are actually attracted to, and the role of social proof in modern dating. Michael explains how building muscle and boosting testosterone are foundational to male confidence and success — but that's only part of the equation.

He also unpacks the biggest myths around masculinity, why emotional trauma affects men and women differently, and how to rebuild your life with discipline, purpose, and leadership. From his early days managing strip clubs to serving in military intelligence, Michael shares the real-world lessons that shaped his Men of Action protocol and helped him coach thousands of men into becoming high-value individuals.

If you're ready to build muscle, build status, and build options — this episode is for you.
