Are you devoted to anything other than money, security, or status?

Does living with an open heart make you weak?

And how is staying guarded killing aliveness?

I grew up guarded and armored. For many years, I thought it was necessary and strong to cut myself off from emotional vulnerability. The truth is that I was fragile and incapable of being in emotionally challenging situations. That way of living almost destroyed me.

For the last 20 years I’ve watched my wife Alyson navigate life very differently. She’s one of those rare few that can effortlessly disarm people and help them access their own hearts. Her strength in emotional situations is inspiring. It’s her superpower.

So is this just something she was born with or is it a skill that she’s developed? I’ve always wanted to know but never asked. Until today.

Are you the best lover your partner has ever had? How could you ever be sure?

What if they preferred having sex with someone else more than you?

And is sex a place where you strive to prove that you’re good enough?

Today we talk about feeling jealous about our partner’s sexual history. We explore what drives that insecurity, how neediness is repulsive, and why trying to prove you’re a rockstar in bed is a big mistake.

Is a lack of confidence your worst enemy?

What does it mean to develop mental, emotional, and spiritual strength?

And how does accepting death make you stronger?

Jiu Jitsu legend Rickson Gracie returns to The New Man, and we dive into the deeper topics from his new book with Peter Maguire called, Comfort in Darkness.

Rickson wasn’t just a devastating opponent in the ring, he’s also a teacher that draws from a deep well of wisdom and intuition. He goes far beyond the mechanics and fundamentals to help others face their fears so that they can discover just how strong and capable they are. Today we discuss what he calls “Invisible Jiu Jitsu” and how we can all utilize it to become mentally, emotionally, and spiritually powerful.

If you’re angry, is it better to bottle it up or lash out in retaliation?

Do you get stuck in a loop thinking of things you should say to that jerk who pissed you off?

And how is emotional constipation draining our aliveness and motivation?

In this conversation, Alyson and I discuss the problems that arise with anger. For many, we feel stuck — if we say something with anger it might make the situation worse. But if we bottle it up, we become a toxic balloon that could burst at any moment. So today we explore what really drives our anger in hopes that we can find a more productive way to deal with it.

Is our drive for more money, more status, or more stuff really just an attempt to fill a God-sized hole in our lives?

Do you ever feel awkward when expressing love to others?

And how does our need for safety block us from having satisfying relationships?

Are you with someone because you really want them or because you’re more afraid to be alone?

Are you settling for junk food relationships that never satisfy and leave you feeling empty?

And how does loneliness drive us to choose lousy partners?

Relationships are hard and the only way to learn is to get in the mix. Today Alyson and I find some friction when it comes to dating and playing the field. We also discuss how we’ve helped ourselves and others face their loneliness so that they don’t have to settle for lousy partners.
