Are You An Evolved Sexual Man? - MTP369 Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Michael McPherson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sexenergy) Most men generally view the concept of human sexuality through the scope of getting laid. As long as they're 'getting some', that's really the point. But deep down, all of us know there's potentially much more than that to a sexual relationship with a woman. My returning guest is an expert on human sexuality who has--like all of us--been on a lifelong journey of sexual evolution. But how are we doing on that journey? It's obvious that even many who call themselves 'sexperts' aren't all that far along the path. How much of this phenomenon of sexually under-evolved men is tied to our view of women in general? Do we consider the value and/or even the ramifications of being in a sexual relationship with a woman above and beyond the physical sex act? Even if 'crazy p*ssy is the best p*ssy', what does 'best' even mean in that context? How can knowing the difference between sexuality and sex energy help matters? How much has societal influence on men to view their sexuality as somehow toxic or even predatory affected our growth as sexual beings? And could it be that women themselves are feeling a bit, um...'under-penetrated' and therefore under-satisfied by men in bed as a direct result of all this? And as an overarching theme, should our primal sexual nature be evolving at the same pace our society is? If so, what should that look like? And of course, what should we as men actually DO about this whole topic? As it turned out, the topic of this episode is such a good one that it ended up being the first of a two-part series. Tune in next week for a female sexpert's take on it.

Too Busy For Women - MTP368 Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Julie Ferman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/ferman) My guest is a well-known matchmaker who I should have had on the show ages ago, in large part because in many ways she's like my sister from a different mother. She's hilarious, unoffendable and agrees with me on most of the dating and relationship stuff we talk about around here. So with a wild woman like Julie on the mic, you know we needed to bring the noise with a great topic. Therefore, in this show we're covering how both men and women always seem to be too busy to date nowadays. What's the deal? Do people really get way too wadded up in their careers, friends and other adventurous pastimes such that they never get around to sharing life with someone else...even for a couple of hours? Is it that porn and social media have replaced real people? Is it that nowadays we can't even be bothered with anyone else anymore in general? Or wait...is it really all about making excuses? After all, as soon as two busy people meet and fall for each other, these huge chasms of time open up for them to spend with each other, right? Is all the reticence to crush those excuses and make time for dating really about fear? If so, fear of what, exactly? Is it shyness? Fear of rejection? Or do people simply trust each other less than they used to? And why shouldn't most 'busy' people hire a matchmaker, according to the matchmaker herself? Enjoy this episode, then get up off the couch and spend time with a great woman. After that, head to the website for some free goodies and to check out the Masterclasses.

Is Alcohol Worth The Trouble? - MTP367 Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Ruari Fairbairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/beer) We as men tend to have a complicated relationship with alcohol. My guest, Ruari Fairbairns is well aware of that. That's why even though he's a professional advocate for drinking less, he comes from a completely different perspective than the tee-totaller activists out there who would seem to label anyone with a beer in their hand as an alcoholic. Indeed, despite the catchy title of his practice, One Year No Beer, Ruari still occasionally pops the top himself. If that sounds hypocritical, it's not. His is no heavy-handed, all-or nothing stance. Rather, he brings the unique message of encouraging us as men in particular to change our relationship with alcohol. In his educated opinion, over time alcohol robs us of our mental and physical health to a degree we don't even realize. Once we give ourselves a break from it, we start thinking and feeling better...causing us to WANT to drink less (if at all), instead of feeling as if we're being strongarmed into sobriety. It's a novel approach designed for the HUGE demographic of men who like to drink, but aren't clinically alcoholics. A lot of men drink alcohol to unwind at the end of the day. But is that really the best way to do so? And what if we find ourselves only drinking in certain situations? What if we don't want to stop being in that situation? And is drinking non-alcoholic beer a decent way to quit alcohol? What if there was a new, high-tech alcohol substitute that gave you all the benefits with none of the downside?

Get Back Out There And Meet Some Women - MTP366 Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Richard Strother (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/strother) My guest Richard Strother calls himself The Widower's Wingman. And indeed, after he lost is wife tragically several years ago, Richard noticed there was very little valuable information out there for men who had lost their significant other, specifically as it applied to potential new relationships with women. But lest you bail out of this episode because that specific issue doesn't affect you, it turns out Richard has a lot to offer about getting back out there after any previous relationship ends, whether that's because of breakup, divorce OR widowhood. So then, should you really just simply 'get back out there'...or wait like a full year or whatever to do so like many recommend? And on a related note, why is it so frustrating to get all that advice from well-meaning friends and relatives right after your loss? And I mean, why should any man even want a new relationship after a special one ends? It's not like you're really going to get a 'rebound chick' like so many warn against...or are you? And when the time does come--whenever that is--are you seeking a new relationship to fill a void, or to share a life? And what if you want to cling to what 'set up' you have left as much as you can rather than disrupting literally everything at once? Finally, as a valuable side benefit to having listened to this show, you'll get new and powerful insight into how to relate to a widowed woman, should you ever meet one and find her interesting.

Are You Kinkier Than You Think? - MTP365 Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Dana Shergill (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dana) My guest refers to herself as a 'kinky wellness coach', and she's quite sure most of us as humans are a lot naughtier, sexier and yes--even kinkier--than we give ourselves credit for, let alone admit. So with that in mind, you can already guess that Dana Shergill is outspoken, unashamed and downright unoffendable. And that combination always makes for a great show, especially when we're welcoming a female guest. So on with it, then...what does a kinky wellness coach actually do for a living? What does Dana mean when she says kinkiness is an outlet for aggression, imagination and attention? Why is that so important? And wait a minute...isn't 'aggression' a dangerous term to use when applied to men and sexuality? Meanwhile, when it comes to sex, does any flavor other than vanilla classify as 'kinky'? And can it possibly true that women are every bit as naughty and potentially kinky as men are? If so, what's holding them back from expressing it? Pornography aside, what can pop culture in general add to our kinkiness? For example, what do the books, movies and music women consume say about what's really going on inside their heads sexually? In fact, could it be true that women are sending us signals that they're sexual--and even kinkier than we realize--without us ever picking up on that? What are some examples of ways more people than we think are just as 'kinky' as we are? How about bondage, heightened sensual experience, risk of getting caught, or threesomes (and moresomes)? What is BDSM and why is it not necessarily as intimidating as people thing it is? And in keeping with the theme of other recent episodes, could it be that kinkier, more 'adventurous' sex makes us feel more alive?

Masculine Freedom Is A Must - MTP364 Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Ryland Hormel (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/hormel) My guest made the bold decision to emerge from post-Covid Northern California on a two-year quest to both experience true freedom and capture it both on film and in print. After talking first-hand to hundreds of people, the end result is his new book When Do You Feel Free?: Voices Across America. Ryland Hormel joins me on this episode for a man-to-man discussion on how we as men tend to define freedom. But wait...is that how we should define freedom? How have men's views on freedom changed within the last generation or so? Truth be told, many men haven't just simply lost their sense of freedom, they've begun to wonder if freedom is even what they really want. So how about it, then...when DO you feel free? What exactly is Ryland's 'freedom equation'? What does Ryland mean when he claims 'freedom as a feeling'? How is freedom integrally related to choice? Why is overcoming fear so important to feeling free? If we as men tell ourselves we're not allowed to experience emotions, or even have any fun, doesn't that constrain us rather than free us up? What is the importance of letting go of attachments and constraints? How did so many of us become so detached from our very purpose, instead living vicariously through TV and social media? How has the 'easy button' subtly robbed us of freedom? And most of all, how does genuine connection and community with others enhance our freedom...or is that only for developing countries anymore?

Ancient Wisdom For Modern Men - MTP363 Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host John Lovell (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/warrior) My guest John Lovell is well-known to many as The Warrior Poet, a Special Forces vet known and loved both for his 2A advocacy and his equally formidable dad jokes. One of the many subtopics of his new book, The Warrior Poet Way, is how today's post-modern men can benefit from returning to ancient wisdom. According to John, that's where we'll find both practical answers to portraying masculinity as well as primal elements of sexual attraction. Tune in as we discuss how wisdom, strength, and significance are old-school masculinity, dating back to primal roots. Why exactly has society been neutered, apparently absolving men from the need to provide and protect? Why is today's emerging masculinity movement so compartmentalized? What is the real reason men and masculinity are under scrutiny whereas femininity isn't? What is the deeper significance of fatherhood--and even of leaving a legacy--that many men miss? John celebrates the need for men to be 'dangerous'. Why is that controversial? Men should 'do hard things'...but doesn't that go beyond the need to be physically tough? Do I need to get up at 4:30am every morning because someone else does? Most men haven't been in the military. What can they do to gain at least some of the life advantages men gain there? And last but certainly not least, what does it mean for a man to die well?

Give Back To The Younger Generation - MTP362 Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Nic Long (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/nic) My guest is 2-time USA Olympian Nic Long, who happens to have made his name in the sport that's nearest and dearest to our hearts here at Casa McKay. That's BMX racing, of course...and Nic happens to be my first-ever BMX related guest. So why now, at episode 362? Well, IMAO there is no better example than BMX of an environment where the older, respected experts tend to give so much back to the younger kids. And after a survey I took online, I was thrilled when Nic was voted one of the most influential pros out there in this area. As such, there's absolutely no better man to help cover this all-important topic that has been on my radar screen for a couple of years now. So...when you become a father and have kids, you instinctively give back to them. But we as men tend to have a yearning inside to also give back beyond the four walls of our own homes, especially to the younger generation. After all, every one of us who successfully grew up to be adult men who contribute to society were likely mentored in some way. And the more we remember what it was like to be a kid, the stronger we sense the call of duty and our potential influence on the lives of kids. What exactly do we have to get handled in order to earn the right to be an effective role model to kids? Could it be that this concept is the very earmark of moving from boyhood into mature adulthood? And what's more, could it all be an even more valuable experience to everyone involved if we stop worrying about how inherently impressive we are, get over ourselves and simply jump in and help out? And what if we actually end up getting more out of giving back than even those we give back to? Get in on all the action--including the latest Masterclass For Men--at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Is This Normal? - MTP361 Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Every couple thinks and behaves differently. You've probably thought and behaved differently depending on which woman was your girlfriend at a particular time in history. But for sure there are, well...'standards' that tend to rule any polite, public conversation about how men and women typically are when they're a couple, and what's 'normal'. So then, what IS 'normal'? Is there really such a thing? And if so, is that really what's BEST in a particular relationship...especially for YOU and your significant other? After all, sometimes 'normalcy' is unhappy. What kind of feelings should a couple have for each other? Can initial attraction and 'chemistry' possibly be a bad or dangerous thing, as some so-called experts say? On the other hand, is there any merit to the idea of 'learning to love each other'? And how do 'normal' couples behave? Is it healthy to 'fight', as some dating coaches have suggested? Or should you always be 'shiny and happy' instead? Surely, there has to be some middle ground, right? And what about jealousy...how much of that is 'normal'? Is total equality between men and women the new norm for most couples? And what about sex? Does any idea of what's 'normal' go completely out the window behind closed doors...or are most of us actually a lot more normal than we think we are?

Stick In The Mud Syndrome - MTP360 Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Justin Stenstrom (http://mountaintoppodcast.com/elitelife) It's absolutely true that men don't worry about aging, nor do we care how we look nearly as much as women. But then, we hear from older women about how they're looking for younger men nowadays...all because men their own age are tired, cranky, sick and drink too much. Well, my returning guest is the Elite Man himself, Justin Stenstrom, who nowadays talks more holistically about Elite LIFE in general than simply Elite Manhood. Even though Justin is a bit younger than I am, he had already been getting weird symptoms and scary health warnings...all without even knowing where they were coming from. And here's the thing. Once we as men start down that path of apathy toward our health, we have less energy and get more depressed. As you may already know, that leads to a vortex of physical and psychological destruction that often leads to an early grave. And yet, because we're men, we'll rarely ask for help. We'll also let symptoms get worse and worse before we finally do something about it. So how do we as men stop ourselves from literally dying on this hill of stubbornness against changing that which is killing us? Or are dead-set on living out the fantasy of finding what we love and letting it kill us? Have you visited the website recently?
