Ancient Intelligence

In this episode I share a high level overview of the different ways that men and women experience attraction and pair bonding based on their respective hormones. I discuss the foundational pull between the masculine and feminine poles and how the instinctual desires men and women have are related to the hormones they release at different times within dating and mating. I highlight the core four hormones: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin. I also address the perception that men do not desire commitment and get into what’s really happening in those situations.

In this episode I dissect the meaning behind some hot-button words like hierarchy, authority, and patriarchy to showcase that many of our misunderstandings are a product of nomenclature discrepancies and misinterpretations, not malicious intent.

Danish Author Tor Nørretranders has an important insight in his work, The User Illusion, about how as humans we feel more than we know and we know more than we can say. Therefore based on the fact that what is said is a tiny fraction of a larger picture of feeling, misinterpretations happen so easily and consistently.

Based on that I get into some important questions including is hierarchy and authority a bad thing? a good thing? How do we interpret this?

In a recent study out of the Czech Republic, it’s reported that women are envious of men for their ‘lack of concern’(among other things). I recently had a few women mention to me that they feel so anxious all the time , meanwhile their partners seem to not be carrying as much ‘mental load.’

What’s actually going on here? It’s definitely not lack of concern. It all comes back to our differences as hunters versus gatherers. Women often experience heightened anxiety do to the way their brains constantly pull them in different direction, whereas men are focused and linear aiming for and executing one task at a time. I reframe some of the misconceptions women have about men and share some practical ways men and women can communicate more effectively.

Hello - I am back with a solo episode and alas we have timestamps. Very excited to officially have those moving forward for all episodes, I know a few of the listeners have been asking.

This episode is an introduction to the masculine spiritual awakening and how a man can find his greatest sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I utilize the yin/yang to showcase the four step process and how it works.

When done correctly this is the path towards:

A man’s purpose and potential

The relationships he deeply desires

Ultimately building his legacy

and it’s all about feminine integration because without that, the masculine cannot be his most potent self.

The answer is yes - if men have two extremely important factors intact in their lives before being vulnerable. This is really important. Lots of men that talk to me say that vulnerability is hard for them to understand without the fear of being judged. They genuinely cannot foresee expressing vulnerability because in the past they have had it weaponized against them or the woman in question has lost attraction for them.

In this episode I try to highlight a few blind spots that can help paint the bigger picture of what being vulnerable with women can look like in a healthy way (and what might have been missing when vulnerability did not go well in the past).

This is my first subscriber Q&A. I have a wonderful community of gentlemen that asked fantastic questions. For those that don’t know I do transformational coaching for men so most of my engaged community are gentlemen (with plenty of ladies listening to the podcast too). I go for about twenty minutes for this one, but will make them slightly longer moving forward to have time to answer more questions.

The three questions that I cover here are:

What is jealousy in relationships? What causes it? Is it normal to feel jealous? How can a man overcome these feelings?

What is absolute happiness for a woman?

Can you connect with a lot of modern day women on a personal level? Considering what you share is not synonymous with most women nowadays, do you feel they are not your tribe as you have less in common?

I challenge the mainstream narrative surrounding ‘The Patriarchy’ and argue that its true essence is largely misunderstood. I explore what the Patriarchy actually is? How I see it from a female perspective? and What the true cause of dissatisfaction for both women and men is?

I explore how by embracing the benevolent patriarch, we can all better connect to our purpose, our harmony, and divine design as men and women.

We know men are one task at a time people and though this is true on a micro scale, it’s just as true in the macro. What’s important to a man changes five times in his life and in this short episode I break down the five stages and what’s most important about them.

I get into what men are prioritizing, what they want, and what they can provide in each of the life stages. I also share anecdotes we can all relate to and showcase how women can best support the men in their lives based on which stage they are in.

This is part 2 of ‘The biggest difference between men and women.’ While in the preceding episode I dive into the root cause of misunderstandings and multiple examples of this, in this episode I double click on one specific difference that fascinates me greatly:

The difference behind why men and women tell stories.

Expect to learn why men tell stories for entertainment while women tell them to gather information, how storytelling raises levels of testosterone in men and creates camaraderie, why repeating stories is rude to women but expected and promoted for men, and so much more.

In this solo episode I break down exactly why and how we misunderstand each other as men and women so much by getting into the root cause: our difference in focus which affects how we process and behave in the world.

Expect to learn why it’s important to understand the differences between hunters and gatherers so that we can understand our differences in modern times. In addition learn about why men need transition time and women don’t, how women think about combining tasks while men focus on separating them, and so much more.

By understanding our ‘operating systems’ we can harmoniously find fulfillment and satisfaction in our modern world.
