The fear of rejection, being too nice, and never making a move…

If you’ve ever overthought your way into loneliness, struggled with ghosting, or felt stuck in “nice guy syndrome”, this episode is for you.

Corey sits down with dating coach and author Chris Bates to break down modern dating for men: why masculine leadership matters, how to create intimacy without being manipulative, and why being radically yourself is the real dating superpower.

Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or just done pretending to be who she wants, this conversation will shift the way you date forever.

Most men say they want purpose… but they’re actually addicted to struggle.

In this episode, I sit down with JR Harvey founder of Kings Community and one of the most grounded, embodied mentors for men in the game to unpack what’s really keeping men stuck.

We go deep on:
 • Why “managing pain” isn’t healing
 • The nervous system cost of constantly performing
 • Why men lead best when they stop trying to be liked
 • The addiction to helping others as a way to avoid yourself
 • And the real reason your relationship or leadership keeps collapsing

This conversation isn’t for the guys looking for more mindset hacks.

This is for the men who are ready to actually feel, lead with clarity, and build something sacred from a solid nervous system not from pressure and pretend power.

If you’re over the noise, stuck in your head, or feel like the leader version of you is hiding this one will flip the switch.

Why Boss Babe Culture Isn’t Working Anymore with Alexis Quiterio

CEO boss babe culture is officially dead.

In this episode, I sit down with feminine embodiment coach Alexis Quiterio to unpack her journey from hardcore gymnastics, extreme discipline, and masculine energy… to surrender, softness, and the magic of true feminine power.

Whether you’re a high-performing woman ready to come back to your body, or a man wanting to understand feminine energy on a deeper level this episode will blow your mind.

Let’s go there. This one’s deep. This one’s real.

f you’re an introverted business owner who’s secretly been playing small… this is the wake-up call.

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Komodina a powerhouse in the space of nervous system safety, masculine leadership, and energetic presence to unpack what’s really keeping men stuck.

We dive deep into how trauma and Tall Poppy Syndrome stop you from showing up online, crush your confidence in sales, and make you second-guess every move… even though deep down you know you’re capable of so much more.

This conversation will hit hard if:
• You keep downplaying yourself in rooms
• You say “haha” at the end of texts to not be too much
• You’re secretly scared of success and being seen
• You feel like you’re always on edge or just “managing energy”

We get raw about the costs of shrinking, and the nervous system tools to fix it fast — without needing more strategy or grind.

If you’re done dimming your light and you’re ready to become magnetic as f**,* this one’s for you.
