What do sharks, entrepreneurship, and sipping coffee with Pablo Escobar have in common?

Scot McKay! Yes, today's guest has a storied history, and we dive deep into all of it.

In today's episode, Scot shares his leap from employee to entrepreneur, and all the wild tales in between.  His journey from being a challenging employee to becoming a successful dating and relationship coach is not just about romance; it's about the courage to embrace change and the power of laughter in the face of fear.

We discuss the impact that travel and cultural exposure can have on our preconceptions and prejudices. Scott touches on raising children with a global perspective, fostering inclusivity, and how these adventures have reshaped his understanding of happiness and success in his own career and life.

In our final thread, we examine the importance of authenticity and the allure of human connection. Scott advocates for a virtuous masculinity, one that chooses love over fear and finds strength in vulnerability. Whether we're discussing the unconditional love of pets or the magic found in life's simplest moments, this episode is a reminder to listen, be present, and let life unfold with curiosity and openness.

MEET SCOT MCKAY
Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped
coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack
while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed
through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph.
Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott
Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able
to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the
World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most
objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by
DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1
most influential Facebook user in the world.
