=== SUMMARY ===


The way in which we deal with our loved ones after a tough day goes something like this: 


  • Person 1 shares the problem

  • Person 2 tries to fix the problem

  • The solution offered by Person 2 fails to appropriately address Person 1’s problem

  • Person 1 expresses frustration with Person 2 for failing to solve the problem

  • Person 2 shuts down and mentally exits the conversation

  • It’s called the communication breakdown, and it occurs in more homes than you can possibly imagine.


    But what if communication didn’t have to be this way?


    What if you could break the mold and deliver the exact message your loved one not only needed to hear, but wanted to hear?


    Sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not, as today’s Making Bank guest, Dr. John Gray, will tell you.


    Dr. Gray is a relationship expert and highly acclaimed author, best known for his #1 best-selling book, Men Are from Mars and Women Are from Venus, which is considered one of the Top 10 most influential books of the last century. Dr.Gray has been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and TODAY and in publications like Time, Forbes, and USA Today. He’s been married for more than 30 years and attributes his relational success to practicing what he preaches.


    Stated plainly, Dr. Gray has built an illustrious career by simply analyzing how couples communicate under stress, and then interpreting those conversations through the lens of hormonal and physiological differences between the sexes:


    • Why does she feel compelled to share her problem?

  • Why does he try to fix it?

  • Why do his attempts to help only serve to exasperate the problem?

  • In this episode, Josh and Dr. Gray address these and other questions as they discuss the importance of understanding how hormones impact the ability of men and women respond to stress. He will also highlight best practices for supporting the opposite sex, explain why a woman’s need for estrogen and a man’s need for testosterone should shape what we expect from our partners, and how these lessons apply to platonic relationships as well...


    • The evolution of relationships in regards to our male and female sides

  • Decoding what a women NEEDS after a stressful work day

  • Stress and how it influences our hormonal levels as men and women

  • Retreating to a “Man Cave” to replenish testosterone for men

  • The depletion of testosterone in men
