DOPEamine

Today on the show we're talking about male body image issues and how that affects confidence. In relation to a lot of this week's topics, men aren't very open about their emotional state but particularly aren't open about how they feel physically. We see portrayals of men in media has having perfect faces, bodies, fighting ability, having stuff and getting all the girls. Well, that's enough. You, as a man, can take charge of the things you can control. You can improve your situation but it's about incremental growth and managing your expectations. Essentially turning your expectations into aspirations so they remain healthy and change with the variables of life. So, put down that donut cause we're getting our s**t together today on DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about "The Patriarchy" as a mean to define the term but also share a bit of the general male perspective behind the emotions involved with making such a massive social change. Essentially I want to use this week's theme as a means to encourage those to get on board with understanding that males are imperative to the growth of humanity and it's not about uneven land grab. It's not about women wanting to take over so much as it is about equal rights. Men also have fears associated with change, insecurities with lifting up their partners socially and it all comes down to personal growth. So that's what we're here to do on this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're kicking off this week's topic, which is the Male Experience. I'm taking this as an opportunity to share my thoughts on being a male in today's world of social change, media perception, what men should take more responsibility for and that being a man is still something to be proud of and respected as long as you're being respectful of the people in your life. Specifically today we're talking alpha males and the perception of alpha males actually being a beta male experience. Beta males are typically more boastful and do so due to their insecurities. It's a vie for status in a world that doesn't require it so intensely but we partake in it anyway because of our natural primal tendencies. Frankly, being alpha takes work but not as much as you think. So suit up, let's get all up in this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're gonna talk a little bit about The Racial Divide. More specifically the divide that is happening in our country and how the conflict model we've been working through can be used to identify how progress can be made. It might get a little heated in here but not really. This isn't about being outraged or calling anyone out. This is an attempt at an objective perspective on what is going on and how we can move things forward in a positive direction. I think I addressed the issues as best as I could and I hope you can join me in this discussion with an open mind to help take all of us into the next stage of growth as a community and a country. We're tackling a lot today on this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about Millennial Self-Deprecation. I've noticed that much of Millennial culture is steeped in a self-awareness that tends to manifest as self-deprecation. There is a lot of popular media, memes, and products made by people like AdamJK that expresses a sense of internal struggle with a dash of light-hearted charm. I try to figure why that is and a bit about internal conflict on this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about having patience with development diversity. Essentially saying that it is helpful for us as individuals to understand that many people in our lives are learning things, experiencing things and expressing things from varying stages of personal development. That by acknowledging that someone is working through their own things at their own pace we can learn to have more patience to let them work through what they need to work through. This isn't universal, it's not an excuse to allow abuse nor is it an excuse to be elitist about your stage of development. It is not about one person being better than the other but acknowledging and respecting everyone's journey. So grab your walking stick and come along to path to understanding each other on this latest episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about internet conflict, how it applies to the model I've been working through and how to resolve some internet. Often we end up leaving internet conflict with unresolved issues that we take with us into our every day life. Our family and friends get the brunt of that force that was triggered by someone else. This feeling can be very frustrating to work through. We also take that feeling and associate it loosely with people of other similar types. We end creating caricatures of people instead of treating each other as individuals. There's a lot to break down here so join me for this angst-filled episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about situational value. I alluded to talking a bit about using poker strategy in life so we're going to lean into that a little bit today. There are a few concepts like playing every hand or probe bets that can translate into life advice. This is a topic I've written a first draft of a book about, so I thought it would be great to share. We also take the opportunity to talk about this week's episode as a way to recap some of the important concepts we discussed. So get ready, it's Friday here on DOPEamine!
