• Why 18 out of 20 highest performing men we know have been to therapy
• The only type of man Bruce Lee feared
• Why Kobe Bryant was more willing to fail than his competitors

This is the 2nd installment of a 3-part series for the man who wants to inspect his relationship with alcohol.

Alcohol is an area of life where you can really drift if you don't bring some intentionality to it.

So in the first episode we interviewed Pete Sousa, a TV News Anchor and ESPN Play by Play Sports analyst who hit rock bottom through alcohol abuse, entered AA and had to rebuild his life in his early 30s.

That was a look into the extreme and devastating effects of addictive alcohol abuse. And even though Bryan and I never had an addictive relationship with alcohol, through Pete's story we could sure as hell see how we'd used booze to mask insecurities, numb fears and quite frankly…just fit in.

But I've been alcohol free for about 6 years now, and I'm never going back. There was never a moment where I declared I'm not drinking anymore. Alcohol just faded out of my life the more and more intentional I got, and the less and less alcohol aligned with where I was going.

Bryan still drinks socially, albeit far less regularly than he did even just a few years ago.

In this Episode

• What an alcohol free life could feel like
• The friction you may experience when curtailing your drinking
• The relationships that may change as a result
• How to build a vibrant and fun social life without the social lubrication
• The impact on your body of going alcohol free

Post #1: A Man of Your Word

Post #2: I Would Die for Her, But Do I Truly Live for Her?

Post #3: Great Men Care Deeply

(To my gay and queer brothers: I do my best to make these emails as inclusive as possible. Every so often I'll be focusing a message on the male/female relationship dynamic, since that's my personal area of lived experience and expertise. Just want you to know I see you.)

Guys, there's only one question that matters to your woman.

Can she count on you?

"Can she count on you" is a question you can't answer with words…

…you can only answer it through consistent action. "Can she count on you" is a question you can't answer one time…

…it must be answered over and over again.

With every action (or non-action) you are reinforcing one of two things:

1. She can count on you
2. She can't

It's that simple. And it's amazing how few men understand this.

Read these slowly…and be ruthlessly honest in your self-assessment.

Can she count on you to:

1. …live up to your word?
2. …admit when you're wrong?
3. …be there for her emotionally?
4. …follow through on your commitments?
5. …show up for both the big and small things?
6. …stand up for yourself when she's pushing too far?
7. …show up when it's hard…when it's inconvenient…when you're exhausted?

A Challenge: If you have the courage and the desire, bring these 7 questions to the lady in your life, and ask her to answer them with full candor. If you take this on, it is your responsibility to own whatever emotional response comes up for you if you hear something you don't like. In that case, thank her for the gift she just gave you. Your work is to go process that, learn from it and show up better…in a way she can count on.

-DQ

PS: Share this with a man in your life who's asking the important questions about his life.

Dr. John DeMartini is one of the forefathers of and giants in the personal development landscape.

He's the author of over 40 self-development books including the #1 bestseller The Breakthrough Experience.

The Breakthrough Experience is also his signature personal development program, which he personally has delivered over 1,100 times to over 100,000 students.

Another fun fact: He's visited over 170 countries (there are 195 in total), spoken in over 2,000 cities

His work has been referenced in over 170 books, including a feature in The Secret and its film and he's been interviewed in over 2,500 radio and television shows.

Pretty impressive for a guy who as a child had difficulty reading, writing and speaking because of both dyslexia and a speech impediment. In fact his first grade teacher announced to his parents that he would never read, write, communicate, or amount to much at all in life. Sounds like that first grade teacher was a real Nostradamus, eh?

In this Episode:

• John's story of being unable to read at age 17, and becoming someone who could speed read 4-5 books before 7 am, daily, by his early 20s
• How living in your highest values can overcome even that which seems impossible
• Why your brain is incapable of "envisioning" when your amygdala (fear center) is activated
• How affirmations – said consistently and in concert with inspired action – can quickly manifest into reality

Marc Champagne Website: https://www.behindthehuman.com

Tony Robbins once said, "The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of the questions you are asking yourself."

Our guest today is Marc Champagne, author of Personal Socrates, a book with 38 questions to help you elevate the quality of your life.

Each of these questions were sourced by one of the inspirational people Marc profiled in the book. For example:

"Who am I optimizing to become?" – James Clear

"What world do I want to create?" – J.R.R. Tolkien

"What expectations am I holding in my relationships?" – Melissa Ambrosini

"How do I become irreplaceable?" – Coco Chanel

"What is within my control?" - Ryan Holiday

Marc became a true believer in the life-changing magic of asking empowering questions when he found himself stuck in a depression after deleting an app – and his entire business – from the Apple app store…which touched the lives of 86 million people, but couldn't find a sustainable business model…leaving him without a business, a loss of a identity and a lot of financial liabilities and a young family.

And it was one question that took him from hopelessness to hope, which is where we begin this podcast.

Bryan and I handle one of the more common complaints from those who busy date men:

Why do busy men always have time for sex?

In this episode:

• Why "busy men" are constantly carrying around feelings of tension, stress and overwhelm in their bodies
• Why busy men are often seeking a release from the uncomfortable energy
• Why bringing an "empty tank" to sex can lead to a pretty subpar sex life
• Why men who bring a "full tank" to sex have more and better sex than guys who are chronically depleted
