Make Better Decisions, Do Better With Women - MTP260 Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Co-Host Gleb Tsipursky (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gleb) My guest, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky is a world-class expert and bestselling author in the areas of mental blind spots and cognitive biases. According to Gleb himself, it was the series of rotten decisions his parents tended to make during his early childhood that drove his passion for helping others to make better decisions...thereby 'future-proofing' themselves, to use his term. Indeed, there's no doubt that better decision making leads to better relationships and indeed a better life in general. So how come this isn't taught in school? Well, in part it's all because such skill often accompanies maturity and the accumulation of wisdom. Nevertheless, Gleb has a number of shortcuts you can use to identify and squash the mindsets and habits that lead to bad decisions and the dire consequences thereof. The fascinating part is how simply recognizing the weird but common ways we as humans hamstring ourselves is the first and best step to prevention. Tune in as Gleb shares the different types of biases we tend to have, all in decidedly entertaining style. For example, thrill to detailed descriptions of such crazinness as Fundamental Attribution Error, The Empathy Gap and The Halo and Horns Effect. Next, discover how Pessimism Bias devastates our ability to meet and relate to women. What is The Illusion of Transparency, and how does it explain why women flake out on us even after they give us their number? And wait until you get a load of how Overconfidence Bias works...it's just nuts. Finally see the forest for the trees and gain the confidence, admiration, respect and attraction of women everywhere.

The Tragedy Of Trying Too Hard - MTP259 Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

A couple of episodes ago we talked about how we can be our own worst enemy. But upon reflection, we left out one of the most devastating--and common--ways we do that. I'm talking, of course, about trying too hard. Do men, especially so-called 'nice guys', do this more than women? If so, why is that? Can it really be as simple as because men do EVERYTHING to impress chicks? But what are the ways that women tend to try too hard? Why do people think this works to attract people, when the weird psychological effect is the exact opposite? Instead of pushing people away, how can we PULL them in magnetically instead? And what's the difference between needy approval seeking as opposed to simply being too damn perky, upbeat, enthusiastic or optimistic? Why do people persist in trying too hard, even when they already realize they're 'pushing it uphill' and their efforts are doomed to failure? And what's up with men's tendency to try logicking women into liking us? Women often say they 'want a man to pursue them', but how is that different than chasing in desperation? Of course, no discussion such as this would be complete without straight talk on when to actually give up.

Success With Women Using Life's Golden Checklist - MTP258 Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

When my guest Michael Lassen was on the show for the first time, you guys absolutely raved over the content he brought to the table. Now, he's back to talk about what he calls the 'The Golden Checklist', aka 'The Success Checklist'. By now you've probably heard of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, Stephen Covey's concept of listing Unifying Principles, or even my own Depth Chart system for evaluating long-term relationship potential. You may have even formulated a 'bucket list' for yourself. But what Michael has done here is above and beyond all that. Drawing directly from the practices of Warren Buffett, this lightning in a bottle will empower you to sort out who you are, where you're going, and best of all...who the right woman is to invite into your reality. For years, Michael suffered through bad decisions like many of us do, and found himself wondering why he was where he was, and doing what he was doing. In this episode we break down Michael's methodology so you can replicate it yourself, ultimately contributing to a dramatic increase in not only your quality of life, but the positive response you receive from high quality women everywhere. And if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, talk to me 25 minutes for free about putting a plan of action together that gets the right woman into your life once and for all.

When We're Our Own Worst Enemy - MTP257 Jun 25, 2021

Show notes

Every time Big Will Hicks co-hosts this show you can count on a lot of fun and laughs. This show is no different, although it hammers home some more serious facts as well this time around. The hard truth for many of us as men is we're our own worst enemy. Will and I acknowledge we can both relate, looking on our own respective pasts. We've both also buried far more male friends than female ones. So what's the deal? Why do men die younger, get into more accidents, get involved in violent crime, go to jail more often and--of course--seem to struggle more relating to MOTOS than women do? How come we talk ourselves out of the bedroom with women with surprising consistency? Why do we blow it so often with them, despite success being right there for the taking? And how come we lose our temper--and our jobs--practically in the blink of an eye? Well, it often comes down to bad decision making. We as men lead, and women are hard-wired to follow a strong masculine man who acts in her best interest. Fail to exhibit that and she loses attraction. But what happens when SHE becomes our passion and purpose? Well, you guessed it...that's a bad decision. We'll cover all of these angles and more, including how men stand in their own way whenever they need help with anything, even mental health or, hell...going to ANY kind of doctor. For sure, we also cover why we stack the deck against ourselves on dates, in relationships, in the bedroom, and particularly when we pretend we're 'Captain Save-A-Ho'. If you can relate at all to the topics presented in this show, isn't it time to get on the phone with me for 25-minutes to put a plan of action together for your future success? I've made bad decisions and eventually emerged victorious, and you can do the same. The first call won't cost you a dime, and you can schedule right at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Is "Living Your Best Life" A Scam? - MTP256 Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

We're told we ought to get off the couch and 'live our best life'. Yet, especially after a year of what we've all been through, the rampant cries of 'YOLO' only seem to lead to ever-increasing FOMO. My co-host Tommy Breedlove is the author of the book Legendary, and he returns for an off-the-cuff discussion of what it really means to live life to the fullest. I mean, do we really need to be rich, famous and/or hyper-macho and fill our lives non-stop with crazy--or even dangerous--adventures? That seems utterly exhausting at best, if not terrifying at worst. What's more, it seems like a whole lot of pressure...especially considering all the 'highlight reels' we see on Facebook and Instagram. So then, what are the secrets to living OUR best life...rather than someone else's? I mean, is it ambitious enough to simply contribute our one eight-billionth part as a member of the human race? How much of our life can reasonably spent celebrating the mundane? Is the 'American Dream' really what we want? Is happiness itself overrated? What's the weird psychological trick we often play on ourselves in this culture thinking we're going for what we want, when we're really not? What's that one most elusive feature to true fulfillment? And what's the factor that most often leads to embodying it? Should you 'find what you love and let it kill you'? Get a whole lot of what you want, and hopefully not a lot of what you don't in this entertaining yet thought-provoking episode.

Why You Need A Strong Woman...Or Don't - MTP255 Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

When I was a young man, one of my elder mentors gave me the best relationship advice ever: Marry a strong woman. The problem is, he didn't explain exactly what that meant. Years later, after lots of mistakes along the way, I'm indeed married to a strong woman, and I know exactly what he means. But the whole purpose of this episode is to make sure YOU do too. Enter GS Youngblood, who has literally written the book on this subject. To kick things off, GS surprises us all by admitting you may NOT want to marry a strong woman if you're a particular kind of guy. But assuming all systems are 'go', the ensuing discussion details the traits of a truly strong woman in the best sense of the word, along with all the gifts and joys she not only CAN bring to your life, but also WANTS to. And yet, there are several paradoxes at play when it comes to dating and relating to strong women. Sometimes the man they THINK they're looking for isn't the man they really will connect with long-term. So how do we as men navigate that? I mean, not only do we have to make a stand for wanting a strong woman in our lives, we often have to represent what she wants in perhaps unexpected ways. And hey, how does the dance of masculinity and femininity play out there? It may sound like a lot of heavy lifting up front, but my promise to you is this: Do your homework, get it right (hopefully the first time, unlike me) and live the dream with a great woman forevermore.

When Sexual Assault Happens To Men And Boys - MTP254 Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

It's one of the darkest secrets out there. I'm talking about physical and sexual abuse upon us as men. Not only do many men experience this in silence, even the topic at large is uncomfortable to discuss, isn't it? Well, whether you have a dark secret of your own or simply wish to be a source of strength and encouragement for a fellow brother who does, this episode is for you--and it's one of the most important ones I've ever produced. This IS a thing, and it's actually happening far more than you've ever thought. Yet, men feel so much shame when victimized that incidents, or even continuous abuse, goes vastly underreported. My guest is Sandy Phillips Kirkham, who is a long-time victim advocate and the author of the ambiguously titled Let Me Pray/Prey Upon You. Now, despite the title of her book, Sandy isn't about anti-faith clergy bashing. Both she and I actually have stories, and have seen similar patterns among assailants. What are those patterns, and what are the insidious ways predators 'groom' their potential victims? When does normal affection and/or discipline cross the line of being abusive? How come predators are simply covered for or moved elsewhere rather than being prosecuted? Why haven't the Jeffrey Epstein story and others like it fueled the level of outrage they should have? What's up with female teachers who have sex with their students? And yes, we as men often encounter women who are abuse survivors themselves. What if we and/or someone we are dating is a sexual assault survivor...how can we have a healthy long-term sexual relationship? And for sure, how we can encourage women in our lives who have experienced assault to either report and/or in their recovery? Expect a well-rounded discussion that delivers straight talk about the topic.

How Men Who Are Successful With Women Think - MTP253 May 28, 2021

Show notes

You've likely heard the phrase 'feminine gifts' before, especially if you're familiar with the works of David Deida. But have you ever stopped to consider exactly what it is that the feminine wants to bestow upon the masculine? I mean, obviously there's sex. But as my long-time friend Zan Perrion and I have both recognized all along, women want to bring so much more joy, value and fulfillment to us above and beyond that. Yes, women are designed for pleasure, but there's SO much the MGTOW and red-pilled guys are missing out on when they hold a low view of the female gender. How have so many men grown jaded and pessimistic toward women? What, if any, is the way out of that mindset? Well, Zan and I have each had disastrous experiences with women in the past, yet both of us still love women. Are we crazy, or is there a transcendent factor at play here? Indeed there is, and this episode gets to the very heart of the matter--which is how we think about women, and indeed also what we think OF women. So then, what amazing, almost super-heroic transformations happen when we LIKE women? What are the visible signs that women are responding to us better? And are we necessarily behaving badly toward women simply by acknowledging both we and they are sexual beings? And what should you do if you're currently experiencing a drought with women and find what we're talking about here entirely impossible to believe? Isn't it time to get a total sweetheart of a woman into your life? The first 25 minutes is free when you schedule your call with me at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Manly Disaster Prepping...Where's The Balance? - MTP252 May 21, 2021

Show notes

Returning guest Jonathan Catherman not only wrote the book on masculine preparedness, he's all about teaching our sons and daughters to be self-reliant and gritty as well. In the wake of a year's worth of unforseen crises of varying magnitude, lots of us as men are rethinking whether or not those 'disaster prepper' guys really are the overreacting conspiracy theorists many of us thought they were. Indeed, although the toilet paper hoarding and such at the grocery stores when COVID hit affected most of us, both Jonathan and I have respectively seen other layers of panic-inducing shortage situations since. Back in March, here in Texas we experienced the unprecedented cold snap accompanied by freakish snowfalls that we dubbed 'SNOVID'. Meanwhile, even now Jonathan is dealing with a gas shortage in his hometown of Charlotte, NC. So basically, isn't it time for all of us to admit we should apply some 20/20 foresight to potential crises that may arise in the future? After all, our minds and bodies respond far better to challenges we're prepared for than to blatant threats. For this reason, Jonathan prefers the concept of preparedness to survival. So then, should we should stockpile on canned goods, ammo and firewood...or is all of that secondary to mindset and attitude? Discover the one factor Jonathan considers paramount above all others in order to be truly ready for a crisis, which he repeats several times in this episode. Also, find out the secrets of military veterans and first responders gleaned from years of proper and effective training. Hint: A lot of this comes down to focusing on what you CAN control versus what you cannot. And in the here and now, how are YOU preparing to meet and attract the woman of your dreams?

Turn Women On With Your Masculine Voice - MTP251 May 14, 2021

Show notes

Obviously, your voice matters on many levels. Your opinion, your beliefs, being assertive, and the like. But what about your real, literal, actual speaking voice? Well my guest is not only a bona fide voice coach, she has the real-world street cred to back it up. As fortune would have it, she was basically the real-life Anna from 'The King And I', having been hired by the King of Thailand to teach his son, the prince. Despite her many adventures, rest assured that Kelly is not only down-to-earth, she indeed 'talks the talk' with a mellifluous voice in her own right. In this episode, you'll not only discover why even the subtle nuances of your voice are so important, but also how and why it'll make or break how attractive you are to women. For starters, what are the building blocks of your speaking voice? Why is it that most of do not like the sound of our own voice? What does our voice subcommunicate about who we are? How does our voice fluctuate based on a variety of societal and environmental conditions? What are some examples of chronically unattractive voice types, and how do we make sure they do NOT affect us? Is it okay to have a unique, or even quirky voice? Why does tuning our voice matter especially much to English speakers? And once and for all, what is it about a man's voice that turns women on sexually at the most primal level...and why? How does improving our masculine voice help us in other areas of life? What if we have an accent...should we change it, or capitalize upon it? And of course, what do you do if you sense you need to work on your voice?
