      • 105 - Why Dating Apps Suck and What You Can Do To Win Anyway
        The first thing to understand is that dating apps have very little bearing on how attractive you are in real life.
        I'm fantastic with people and I have a very hard time with online dating, especially with getting matches.
        That's why in this episode I'm teaching you everything I've learned to double or even triple your online dating results.
        Here are 3 rules to live by in order to win at this game:
        1. Know your audience. Dating apps are designed to appeal to people who are visually focused and are looking to make snap decisions about folks. That gives you 3 seconds or less to make an impression. Your photo is everything. I give details about how to make them better, inside. BIGGEST TIP, guys. Smile. And be outdoors. I'll explain why and provide a tool to dramatically change the way you online date.
        2. Take breaks. It's demoralizing, esp. if you already don't like these dating apps. It's easy to walk away feeling like you're an unattractive human when you simply might just have bad photos of yourself. Inside I explain the system / structure I use to stop myself from feeling like an ugly undesirable guy when I online date.
        3. You're being tracked. Fight back. Dating apps rate your attractiveness and then only match you with people they think you're equivalent to. That's total bs. In this ep, I'll explain how they do it, and how to turn the tables.

      • 103 - Guys, 3 things I did to stop accidental creepy vibes...
        Worried about coming across creepy and weird?
        Tired of being rejected and ghosted?
        Here are 3 rules to put into play today, that will immediately make you more attractive, appear more confident to women, and dramatically lower your creepy factor.
        1. Stop trying to fake it til you make it. People pick up on it. It's the #1 source of creepiness.
        2. Drop the agenda. People know when we're trying to pitch them something. We turn into this weird contorted version of ourselves. We talk and sound different. We get all sweaty. If you can't drop the agenda, do you best to replace it with one that's more congruent. Mine is... I want to get deeply connected with this human being on an emotional level.
        3. Look to see what job your brain automatically tries to occupy. Are you to peace maker? Are you the one who tries to make everything positive? Are you the one who's always looking for what's wrong? Look where your brain goes during conversations and interrupt it when you notice it. Over time, you'll show up more as yourself instead of as a fake or pretender. That's when the magic begins.
        When she can get a feel for who you really are, you'll start attracting the people who love you for being exactly you.

      • 101 - Interview - A 56 yr old married woman's experience of polyamory

        Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the informed consent of all partners involved. It has been described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy." From Wikipedia

        This was a hard podcast for me to do. I've had a number of very negative experiences under the banner of polyamory that make my brain start to freeze up and go into a fear response every time the subject comes up. If you're extra sharp, you might catch me taking longer to respond and having a harder time coming up with something insightful to say or ask. Despite that, this episode was absolutely killer and in listening you will upgrade your dating and relationship game by orders of magnitude.

        We talk about a lot of important foundational things. Things that will make ANY relationship better, when applied, because they're battle tested in the most challenging relationship form (IMO): polyamory.

        Inside, I have a heart to heart with a good friend, mentor, and someone who's been navigating the poly scene for decades.

        We cover...

        1. The major mistakes people make when trying to create a polyamorous life
        2. How to protect yourself from manipulation and bad relationships
        3. Why responsibility is the single greatest tool for becoming more desirable
        4. The reason why you can't keep your walls up in a functional relationship (and what to do about it)
        5. And soooo much more...

          6. This is an important episode. You may find yourself wanting to go back through more than once. :)

          If you get something from this episode give it a subscribe, rate it, or comment and let me know what you think. It takes 15 seconds and it helps this podcast grow and keeps me happy and validated.

          Thank you for listening. Catch you in the next one.

        6. 100 - Interview - How to breathe your way to better dating and health [feat. Naushad Godrej]

          In this episode, we talk breathing practices that are DESIGNED to help you move through hard emotions and make your dating life better! Can you breathe your way to being a charismatic human being? My experience points to...yes. Inside, we talk about why.

          For reference, some or all of what we discuss falls into the category of breathwork.

          To quote Parsley Health:

          Most formal practices involve 20 minutes to an hour of sustained, rhythmic breathing techniques. People who practice breathwork describe feeling tingling sensations throughout their body, feelings of clarity, alertness, increased mind-body connection and even emotional purging.

          Inside...

          1. An easy exercise to settle your nervous system and stop wandering thoughts / procrastination.
          2. Why it's important to be mindful on dates.
          3. How the way you breathe directly impacts your mental health.
          4. Personal story - how did it feel to take part in a 90 minute breathwork ceremony? hint: I was ugly crying.
          5. The hidden link between breathing and peak performance (flow state)

            6. There's so much more here - it's a really action packed 30 minutes and definitely one of the more unusual interviews I've done. Hope you enjoy!

          6. Interview: A Counselor/Pastor on Navigating Compassion for Homosexuality and His Faith.

            In this episode:

            • The good and bad of how the Church treats LGBTQ+ members
            • Is there a double standard in the Church on the question of sin? Are some sins worse than others?
            • What to do with unanswerable questions in your Faith?
            • Why believe in a God at all if he created everything, knew what was going to happen, and damned billions to hell?

              • I will say that this was a challenging episode to figure out and publish. I'm glad we had this conversation, and I'm expecting a lot of backlash. I chose to publish anyway because the spirit of this season remains the same. How do we approach the controversial? How do we have conversations with folks that don't have the same beliefs as we do? How do we hold space for other beliefs without needing to fix them?

              Why is this beneficial?

              • This is the most common reason why relationships stop working. We are unwilling to examine things from the other side because they're just "wrong"
              • This is arguably the thing our current society is worst at. Wanna have a conversation about masks? Be prepared for a grueling flame war.
              • Being able to stand up for what you believe without getting upset or lecturing about it is one of the single best ways to be attractive and persuasive.

                • There's a lot to unpack here, and while I don't believe in the views expressed on this episode, I have deep respect for my guest for showing up and answering my questions about Faith and some of the seeming contradictions that exist within. If you got something from this podcast or you know someone who would, give us a subscribe, rate us, or share us with that friend! It helps me stay motivated seeing those numbers go up. :)
