Masculinity Is A Daily Habit - MTP230 Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

I told Emily I was having the guy from Origin on my show, and she responded, 'War Engine? What's that?' Well, I got someone who is arguably just as cool. I'm joined by none other than Pete Roberts, host of the Hands and Daylight podcast and leader of the pack over at Origin. What you'll notice first about Pete is he's an all-around good dude who is clearly proud to be a man and walks the walk. We tackle the subject of everyday masculinity, meaning the little things we as men do--or should be doing--on a consistent basis. For starters, discover the mindset that mature, evolved men know is foundational to manhood, yet which young men almost always exhibit the exact opposite of...even as they think they're more macho by doing so. Next, how does a man handle daily interactions with both women AND other men, including over social media? Then I share my personal lesson from a Navy SEAL on how to be more of a man in the most subtle but powerful of ways. Is it true that if you don't have the capacity to be violent, you're harmless? What are the little things that make a man a true father to his kids every day? How do boundaries enter into daily life, including the balance between work, family and leisure time? What should a man do when he inevitably messes up sometimes? And of course, we get around to talking about men's health and how easy it is for us to neglect it. Make 2021 your year to rise above and take ownership of your very own 'new normal'. Your first 25-minutes are free when you get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Are You Outsourcing Your Self-Worth As A Man? - MTP229 Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

In the last episode we talked in depth about the concept of self-awareness. This time, we turn our attention to the idea of self-worth. Obviously, this is all about how much value we assign to ourselves and is closely tied to self-respect. My guest is Kamini Wood, who as a mother of five knows the struggle is real to find time in life for self-ANYTHING. Nevertheless, she has given tons of thought to this topic and has arrived at the conclusion that most of us basically do the equivalent of outsourcing our self-worth. So what does that even MEAN, exactly? What other areas of self-evaluation and reflection is it tied to? How do particularly smart and/or analytical guys struggle? What can we do to guard against feeling like a Lone Ranger in the midst of all of this self-worth stuff? And what is the right way and the wrong way to involve others, lest we indeed not outsource our own self-worth? Why do men struggle so much with 'strong vulnerability', therefore suffering through tough patches that could have been alleviated or even bypassed altogether? Are we necessarily outsourcing our self-worth to someONE else, as opposed to someHOW or someTHING else? What influences the self-worth of truly successful men as opposed to the mediocre masses? And perhaps most devastating of all, how are we handing over our self-worth when we approach, meet and relate to women? Plan on powerful insights all around, and even a rare lacrosse reference.

Self-Awareness, Confidence, And The Women Who Love You For It - MTP228 Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

My guest is Marine Corps Lt. Colonel Ann Bernard, who as head of 365 Firsts currently advocates for getting out of our infamous comfort/familiarity zones to try new and exciting adventures. Interestingly enough, she says much of our wherewithal in that regard comes from self-awareness. Now, I fully realize 'self-awareness' is one of those terms that may mean different things to different people, but in this episode you're in for one of the clearest and most direct descriptions of it ever. In addition to finding out the practical elements of it, you'll discover the symptoms of lacking self-awareness...and how a scary amount of guys don't even realize they do (which makes sense, if you think about it). So then, is this all related to identity, maturity and some of the other concepts we talk about frequently around here or is it something else completely? Can you actually have too much self-awareness? I mean, wouldn't that lead to self-consciousness (which is different!) and hyper-analysis issues? And on that note, what is the difference between self-awareness and self-concept? How is self-awareness related to the all-important element of confidence? Why is self-awareness a must for attracting women? How should we deal with 'haters'? What is so important about trying new things for the first time? How does all of this make us both better listeners AND better storytellers?

Beautiful Women, Pre-Conceived Notions And The Truth - MTP227 Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

When you get right down to it, if you're on a team your coaches and your cheerleaders have something important in common. They're both on your side, and they both want you to win. So it's really no wonder that a former Phoenix Suns cheerleader like my co-host Bee Evans would go on to become a professional coach. More specifically, Bee is a resilience coach, and one of her biggest soapboxes is 'tearing out the tags'. What's up with the human tendency to slap a label on everything and everyone? I mean, do face-value assertions and preconceived notions really serve the greater good? You can imagine the sneaky effect this kind of psychology has wrought upon relationships between men and women, let alone everyone else. Well, this episode's discussion starts with a disarming look at how Bee views her time with the Phoenix Suns nowadays compared to how she did in the moment, and it'll be no surprise that it has plenty to do with public stereotype versus objective reality. That leads to an eye-opening discussion of how we as men often place attractive women into some rather unattractive boxes, and Bee has some encouraging truth for all of us. On top of that, women tend to categorize themselves in plenty of self-limiting ways in their own right. But let's not kid ourselves, so do we as men. How does that affect our success with women? And how do all of us re-apply tags and labels to both ourselves and others as life unfolds in unexpected ways? Speaking more about tags and labels, get ready to discover how people's intentions don't necessarily have everything to do with how they classify us--or even themselves. And stay tuned for Bee's GOLDEN advice on how to intrigue and attract the most beautiful women. Here's the bottom line: in today's world of knee-jerking social media frenzy, intentions often don't match up with perceptions...and reality can seem an even more distant concept. Bee's mission is to bridge that gap in a world that could really use it. Have you talked to me for 25-minutes free yet? Sign up today and get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Sean Connery's James Bond, The 007 Mystique, And 'Bond Girls' - MTP226 Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

With the recent passing of Sir Sean Connery, there couldn't be a better time to celebrate the rich legacy of Ian Fleming's James Bond, particularly as played by the OG himself. We begin with a brief discussion of Connery's legacy of smooth, debonair masculinity on film, which despite his perhaps ironic off-screen issues with women in real life stands as nothing short of iconic. So if you've never seen a Sean Connery Bond flick, where should you start? And why even watch at all? I mean, what can we gain by studying the persona of Connery's 007, from his 'alpha' demeanor to his calm, cool and collected style with women? What are the takeaways from that for our real lives, meeting and interacting with real women? Is it feasible to actually live like James Bond, even if only on some levels...and only part way? And what is it about Connery's Bond in particular that is so magnetic to women? Speaking of women, what makes 'Bond Girls' in particular so exotic, alluring and downright desirable? And on the other hand, is James Bond even 'boyfriend material'? Perhaps the most fun is had toward the end of this episode, where Bruce and I talk about Bond villains, particularly the infamous Ernst Blofeld. What makes him so slimy and, well...the opposite of attractive to women? It couldn't be that he's a cat lover, could it? Why not find your own mystique, and transform your fortunes with women in the process. It all starts with a 25-minute intro call. Get on my schedule for free at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Get Creative...And Be More Interesting To Women - MTP225 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Well, now I've done it. I went and got a creativity coach as a guest co-host. His name is Jeff Leisawitz from Seattle, and you're in for a show that's guaranteed by its very nature to be fun, entertaining AND interesting. To start off, we all know it's not exactly easy to simply be creative at the drop of a hat. Therefore, we define creativity in, well...some truly creative terms. That quickly leads us to the sobering conclusion that despite what many think, creativity isn't really an optional 'luxury item'. It's absolutely integral to a life well-lived. But fear not, Jeff has an elegant way to tune your mind up for greater levels of creativity...all centered around one basic mindset shift. Here's a hint: plenty of us need to have a more creative vision of creativity itself. Is it really true there's no such thing as an original thought? What is it that separates mere talent from truly legendary status? And on a far less lofty level, how does Jeff coax guys to start thinking 'out of the box' for once? What happens when crisis hits and we're forced out of our comfort-familiarity zone and into creative mode? It seems like there's one big hurdle virtually everyone has to clear first, and we'll call it out. And here's a good question...is creativity feminine in nature? And speaking of women, how does your creativity directly contribute to living the exciting life that inevitably attracts women? Feel like it's time to think out of the box for yourself and come up with new and creative ways to get the right woman into your life?

A Blaze Of Glory: The Art Of Dying Well - MTP224 Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

The idea for this episode on dying well--or dying gallantly and with dignity, if you will--has been on my radar screen for quite a while. The issue was finding the right guest to make it as powerful a show as it deserves to be. Enter my new friend Larry Indiviglia. First off, Larry is a United States Naval Academy graduate, so he knows plenty about duty, honor and sacrifice. On top of that, however, he had the particularly notable experience just this year of meeting a woman who was dying of cancer, falling in love, and being by her side until the very end. He has written a book about that experience, and in this show shares his unique and powerful thoughts of a life well-lived to the very last breath. So for starters, what exactly does it mean to die well? Despite the archetypal theme of going out in a blaze of glory, is that reasonable--or even possible? Why are such themes in stories like Gran Torino and Breaking Bad so incredibly fascinating and alluring to us as men? Is it necessarily true that we die alone, or can others around us contribute to a life well ended? What are the powerful and perhaps unexpected factors that present themselves when we know we have a limited time left? How can our minds play tricks on us in devious ways as we fantasize about our own deaths? Is that even healthy? Did Tim McGraw get it right when he exhorted us to 'live like we're dying'? We'll even tackle perhaps the scariest question of all on this subject...how to die well if your body or even your mind betrays you in old age. John Donne may have noted centuries ago that the bell will toll for thee, but he also penned 'death be not proud'. In the stunning conclusion to this particularly unforgettable and powerful episode, will spell out exactly what that means. Make the most of the one life we're given and invite the greatest woman you've ever met to join you. Talk to me for free when you get on my schedule at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

You Have More Power Than You Think - MTP223 Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

Get ready for an empowering, uplifting show at precisely the time in history when we could all use it. My long-time friend and all-around nice lady Iris Benrubi joins me to talk about personal power. In particular, we're revealing and discussing those little hidden places in your life where you can actually DO something. But to start off, we wonder aloud why so many people seem to actively want to retreat into victimhood, despite the negative impact that has on confidence and self-esteem. It's no wonder that the idea of personal agency all starts with figuring out what we actually want and how to get it, right? And is it true you're going to end up exactly like your parents, no matter what? Could it be true that doing the exact opposite of what you're conditioned to could be just as disempowering as simply falling in line with groupthink? How does the tangle between opportunity and consequences affect our psychological mindset? Do we really have to hit rock bottom and lose all that makes us comfortable before bouncing back in a way that's truly in alignment with our hopes and dreams? Next, discover how there are two ways most men are handling the COVID-19 crisis. Which guy are you? What is the secret to deriving strength from life situations that would wither others? How can you begin to feel truly powerful at attracting and interacting with women, even if you've gone your entire life thus far without? And how can you acquire the power to get the RIGHT woman in your life, once and for all? Let's talk 25 minutes for free about how to get you to the next level in your career, lifestyle and--of course--in your relationships with women. Get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Relationship Material, Or Nah? - MTP222 Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Okay, here it is. We don't talk about marriage very often on this show. Simply put, it's a topic that tends to polarize the audience. Nevertheless, you really can't expect to cover all of the bases when it comes to dating and relationships without ever addressing it. Enter my guest Amy Schoen, who specializes in the field of marriage readiness. Together she and I decided that a particularly fun and useful angle would be to talk about what it means to be 'marriage material'. Now, to be sure this pretty much aligns with the concepts of 'boyfriend material' and 'girlfriend material'. So then, this show offers equal opportunity visibility into what indicates long-term potential for either a man or a woman. Interestingly enough, even when women aren't particularly looking for a serious relationship, they still tend to be super-attracted to men with qualities that indicate long-term potential. Perhaps weirdly, that is even often the case when they're looking for a quick fling. So do I have your attention yet? What you're about to hear is all-important for any man who want's to enjoy greater success with women. Count on a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and tips that over-deliver...turning you into a veritable magnet for feminine attraction. Fall is here, and the world is opening up. Talk to me free for 25 minutes about how to create your own 'new normal', featuring the most fulfilling relationships with women ever. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Be Seen, Be Known, Be Remembered - MTP221 Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

My guest is best known for his work on introversion, but the topic of this show is sure to hit the target regardless of your personality type. At its essence, it's all about how to be influential. So what's the right way and the wrong way to do that? I mean, isn't attention seeking for insecure, needy guys and self-promotion for douches? And hold on...isn't this whole desire to be seen, known, remembered somewhat narcissistic at its very core? Well, none of that is necessarily true. That can only mean there's an altogether better and more effective way to be truly memorable, which Nick and I discuss in sometimes alarming, at times unexpected, but always encouraging detail. And let's not kid ourselves. Even if you're not entirely motivated to conquer the world and leave your mark on a grand scale, that relatively low-key lifestyle you're content with may even be at risk if you fail to be influential in any measurable way. So then, what are the first outward steps to having more of an impact on those around us? Prepare to be amazed by how simple, easy and non-threatening this and the ensuing steps really are...and how major the social payoff for following them really is. And most importantly of all, of course, what does this all have to do with being a 'big four' man who attracts women as effectively as he can?
