Toxic Masculinity, The Cocktail Party Effect & Why Every Man Should Learn to Dance with Ted Agon


Listen Later

Ted Agon is a returning guest to the podcast. He's not your average author & speaker.He's lived in seven countries and set foot on five of the seven continents. The man's a global adventurer. Not to mention he served in the Vietnam War in the 1970s.At 79 years young, he's got incredible energy (& knowledge). He goes ballroom dancing five nights a week, calling himself a table-hopper. It's how he met the love of his life, Julie.My favorite part of the podcast is when he shares the pickup line that "worked" with Ms Julie—afterward thinking darn it, how come I didn't think of that line decades ago. Haha! Amazingly, prior to meeting, he & Ms Julie had been single for 27 & 23 years, respectively.He believes if you're looking for love—you will not find it—it must be spontaneous.Ok Ted, but some of us are going to go looking on that 7,243rd night going to bed alone. I kid, because Ted makes me feel that way sometimes. Lol (let's see if he texts me asking what "Lol" means:)Usually, he only texts me when he finds a Joe Rogan clip he thinks ridiculous or finds something that says men are dummies.Back to Ted's bonafides. He's the author of two remarkable books: The Human Key, which is a comprehensive exploration for those seeking knowledge, and The Learning Curve—a condensed version of the book for the modern reader with a shorter attention span.Ted has a unique ability to observe the simple things in life. His favorite quotes deal with simplicity. You come away from chatting with Ted realizing he knows what's important. It's all honed by his upbringing. Raised by a single mother. Limited resources. What they had was community and a profound love of nature.We discuss being blessed with different aptitudes. What sets Ted apart is his knack for clear writing, which of course is thinking. Or at the very least, enables you to identify holes in your thinking.Get ready for an insightful & inspiring conversation with my friend & neighbor, Ted.
