Even men at the top of their game find themselves wanting more from life. Whether it’s more meaning, a bigger impact, unshakable confidence, a hotter sex life, more money, deeper love, solid friendships or a powerful legacy…

What is true success? How can a man actually reach the end of his life and look back without regret — having lived and loved fully, rather than having been stuck in fear or a life he was “supposed to” lead?
Man Alive is a series of bold, raw and gritty conversations with experts on success, power, sex, love and legacy for men who…are clear they want amazing lives?!

For the past 15 years Shana James, a dating and relationship expert, has worked with thousands of men and women around the world and collaborated with hundreds of teachers and coaches. She has led workshops for dating companies like Table for Six and Match.com and been matchmaker for an MTV reality show.

Shana doesn’t buy into the need for rules, games or limitations. She works with men individually to find their unique power, confidence and leadership abilities, breaking open the boxes that keep them stuck, dissatisfied, or settling for less than amazing in any area of life.

#1 of Practicing Love: The What, Why, and How of Practicing Love Nov 01, 2024

In this intro episode of Practicing Love, I introduce the concept of love as a practice, rather than a static feeling, or something to achieve once and for all. I emphasize the importance of exploring love with humility and curiosity, of growing (through both dating and in relationships), and the need for vulnerable honesty if we want to keep relationships alive and satisfying for the long-term. I outline foundational principles for practicing love, and explore how to navigate challenges with compassion and understanding. I also introduce future episodes where guests will vulnerably reveal their struggles, learnings and how they currently practice love. Our love and sex lives can be one of the most challenging parts of life. But it gets easier when you hear from others, and you know you're not alone. And when you start to see each situation -- even hurts, upsets and disappointments -- as a doorway to the love and intimacy you want.

For many men, it is important to feel powerful. It is often this feeling of power, or a desire for the feeling of power, that drives actions and decisions. But power can be confusing too.

So, how can you be powerful in a way that is good for you AND others? Or might it be that the search for power is misguided? Today's Man Alive podcast guest realized that through his attempt to feel powerful, what he was seeking was not actually power. Justin B. Long, author of The Righteous Rage of a 10 Year Old Boy: A Journey of Self Discovery, brings a deeper look at power and strength through his personal struggles and breakthroughs.

#191: Deeper Dating and a New Map to Love – Ken Page Jul 01, 2021

If you are struggling with dating, you may be caught in old paradigms, beliefs and habits that stop REAL love from igniting and staying strong over time. Today's Man Alive podcast guest is a brilliant and open-hearted therapist, podcast host, and creator of the Deeper Dating platform -- where people connect with others who are interested in experiencing love and dating in a genuine way. There are many outdated ideas about love and relationships that cause a lot of pain and struggle in this modern day world. Men often tell me they feel the weight of expectations to look and act certain ways, to try to be who they think women want them to be. The good news is that times are changing. From dating, all the way to business, authenticity and vulnerability are being welcomed more and more. You no longer have to be the rock, or the "got it all together" man to be respected or admired. You can relax and allow more of your humanity! In this episode, we discussed:

Why your strongest attractions can lead you astray
Attractions of deprivation vs inspiration
The gift-wound defense matrix and how your biggest wounds reveal your core gifts
How attraction ebbs and flows in dating and relationships and what to do about it
The 7 skills of deeper dating

Ken says, "If we only focus on immediate attraction, we may well end up unhappy. But if we prioritize the importance of deep emotional safety, our chance of finding real love expands powerfully.” Connect with Ken Page https://deeperdatingpodcast.com/ Connect with Shana James shanajamescoaching.com/3ways Curious what you’d need to become a better leader and lover?

Gratitude as a tool for better business and relationships

#188: Dating Sucks But You Don't – Connell Barrett Jun 10, 2021

Today's guest, Connell Barrett, has a mission to help men attract a soulmate while being authentic and confident. He is the founder of Dating Transformation and shows men a new way to date with his new book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t. We all know dating can be challenging. And as you get older it can become more challenging. Your body may not work the way it used to. You may not know what women are looking for as they get older. Online dating can be confusing and exhausting as you try to present yourself in a way that stands out. But one of the hardest parts many of my clients talk about is the self-doubt dating tends to bring up. It can make you question yourself and your worth, even if you normally don't. In this episode, we discussed:

Why Nice Guys finish first, not last
How you can use a great mindset to attract women, instead of a great line
Focusing on connection rather than conquest
Using courage as the currency to buy you confidence
Why you get to be uniquely you, rather than trying to be who you think a woman wants

#187: How to Persevere Through Pain – Richard Hanbury Jun 03, 2021

After a crazy accident where he drove off a bridge, today's Man Alive Podcast guest was paralyzed from the waist down. He had such severe nerve pain that he was given a life expectancy of only a few years (similar to Christopher Reeves). Miraculously, while watching a movie in the hospital, his understanding of pain changed and he set out on a quest to relieve his, and others', pain. Richard Hanbury has experienced more pain than many of us will in a lifetime, but the important part is he did not give up. Amazingly he created a device that allows people to enter into the brain states that long term meditators reach to relieve many types of pain, sometimes even forever! His nerve pain has not returned in the years since the development. In this important episode, we discussed:

How psychological and physical pain manifest and can feed into addictions
Suggestions for more clarity and relief from pain -- physical and emotional
The most important thing to do for yourself as a CEO
Richard's story of paralysis and his diagnosis
The device Richard created that took away his nerve pain in three months

I highly suggest listening to this episode for a dose of possibility and a reboot of courage and strength. Richard is one of the most inspiring humans I've met. To come through such intense pain and then use it to be in service of healing others is an extraordinary feat.

#184: The 7 Pillars of a Spectacular Life – Dr. Tim Reynolds May 13, 2021

While it may seem cliche, the reality is that you have one life to live! As you get older, it's important to check in with your goals and visions, to see if you've left anything or any parts of you behind. Life is too short to be defeated or drained, or to feel like a zombie in your work or relationships. If that's happening, it's time for a change!

Today's Man Alive podcast guest is a truly inspiring man. Dr. Tim Reynolds is not only a medical doctor and director, here is also a professor, a pilot, a world traveler, has been in the military and owns a ranch. He has written about his life and how he empowers himself and others to take control of their lives in his book: Living Every Minute.

What to do now to create an amazing life, even if you don't know your purpose

#183: Why It’s a Great Time to Be a Man – Robert Manni May 06, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Robert Manni, is the founder of the Guy's Guy Podcast. He has a modern take on what a guy's guy is, beyond the stereotypes and limitations of past generations. Robert is a surprising guy. As an advertising executive who had two near-death scares he has been guided by a curiosity about energy and spirituality from a young age. He is a Reiki practitioner and hypnotherapist to name just a couple of his certifications. Never before in history, he said, have men had the choice of roles -- which you want to take on and which you want to do away with. You could choose to be the breadwinner if you want to, but you could just as easily choose to stay home and raise kids! You have the freedom to make choices based on what is meaningful and exciting to you, rather than follow a prescribed path. I know it's not always easy being a man, but according Robert, it is a great time to be a man! In today's episode, we discussed:

How being a guy's guy moves you beyond the outdated idea of being a man's man
What the re-emancipation of today’s men looks like
How to find power and inspiration in your most painful, and even life threatening, moments
Robert's experience beyond the cognitive dimension, with healing, guides and spiritual dimensions
The most important lesson about dating and relationship Robert learned from his wife

#182: Become a Master of Persuasion (Without Manipulation) – Dave Dee Apr 29, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast is focused on my favorite topic -- the overlaps between sales and sex, business and the bedroom! Our guest, Dave Dee teaches people to get more of what they want by being persuasive, without being manipulative. Dave went from being a struggling magician to an expert in sales. He is the author of Sales Stampede and has taught sales strategies to tens of thousands of business owners. He helps us look at life through the lens of sales. It is powerful and surprising to think about how you "sell" without realizing it, in many of your conversations! Even if you don’t sell services or products in your work, you are still often "selling” your ideas and desires, both at work and at home. When you engage with others about what you want, or what you see as possible, you are "selling” as you attempt to inspire, get buy in and create agreements that forward your goals! In today's episode, we discussed:

The difference between persuasion and manipulation
How to lead with your needs rather than repel someone with neediness
How to become more collaborative so you never have to “close” a sale
The power of rapport and understanding a client, or a lover’s, deeper WHY
How to apply selling skills with integrity, in relationships and business

This is the first documentary he has appeared in, though he has created many others, including the well-known Trekkies!

Simple ways to maintain relationship well-being over time
What it takes to be happy on your own, rather than depend on your partner for it
The root causes of relationship struggles
What made Roger's best date ever and led to the best sex of his life!

#180: 5 Principles of an Optimized Life – Taylor Morgan Apr 15, 2021

It's common to create a vision for your life and live into it for years, or decades. But at some point you may wake up and realize you have grown and your vision is no longer aligned with the current version of you!

#179: What to do With a Woman's Anger – Ilan Stephani Apr 08, 2021

Anger is one of the scariest emotions for many people to feel. Often when it is expressed, it is not in a healthy way. But anger is important and we can't overlook it. It arises in moments when our boundaries are crossed, our needs are threatened or we feel disrespected. Today's Man Alive guest is a powerful example of a woman who has gone deep into her own pain to come out the other side with tools and understandings that work with the core of intense emotions and experiences. Ilan Stephani is the bestselling author of Skin and Games and a Somatic Researcher in the Fields of embodiment, sexuality, trauma, health and mysticism. She helps people unlearn cultural conditioning and gain back your natural orgasmic aliveness! Ilan helps us understand what to do with a woman's anger and your own.

In our conversation we discussed:

Why women can get so angry
Why it can be wise to hate your partner (and how to shift that!)
How mastering rage, "No," and "Stop" naturally leads to love
How sex becomes natural once people feel safe
Your body's role in helping you release anger and be more alive and connected

Ilan's work is a breath of fresh air and is powerful. These ideas may seem strange at first but she and I agreed that if more conservative methods worked, people would be experiencing a lot more love and connection than they are these days. We cannot only explore the light side of life. We all feel anger, fear and grief and we need to bring them to the surface, rather than holding them in and on our own.

#177: Tap Into a More Powerful Masculinity – Ilan Ferdman Mar 25, 2021

When you hear the word "Manhood," what do you think?

It may have a sense of power for you. It may seem suffocating or stifling. It may even be both at the same time.

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Ilan Ferdman has done deep work and exploration around who he is beyond cultural constructs. He has even explored the Divine Masculine and shares his experiences of what it is and how it has impacted his life. Ilan understands that you are programmed into manhood and masculinity from the time you're born. The pressures and limitations are so much a part of "the water we swim in," it can be really hard to see or know where they come from.

Ilan is the co-founder of Satori Prime, a personal development, leadership and spiritual growth organization that has served more than 15,000 people with digital products, community events, coaching and corporate trainings. He is also co-host of the Old Souls and Seekers podcast, which blends life coaching, psychology, neuroscience, intuitive guidance and ancient energetic wisdom practices.

A process for working with catastrophic thoughts and fear of failure

The benefit of slowing down to become even more effective
How to integrate masculine and feminine energies and what the divine masculine is

She is an author for top media outlets like eHarmony and Digital Romance. Riana specializes in helping people with childhood and love trauma heal and have the love they deserve.

#174: How to Avoid Going Broke - William Matthews Mar 04, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, William Matthews, is the author of three books, including Financial Lessons Learned From My Broke @$$ Friends. He brings lightness, humor and practicality to the financial domain, to help you make smart decisions with your money. It's important to be current with yourself about how you're doing with money these days. Are you making as much as you need? Are you saving for your future? Do you have a clear sense of a financial plan in the short and long term? Money is one of the greatest causes of stress people face. It's stressful on its own and then navigating it with a romantic, or business, partner magnifies that stress. Having clarity and plans with your finances reduces stress and allows you to strategize and navigate out of financial hardship. But most of us never learned how to create this clarity! Most education, at least in the U.S., does not include financial literacy. In our Man Alive conversation we discussed:

Common financial pitfalls and how to avoid them
How to set yourself up for a more secure financial future
Tips to save and be more conscious about how you spend your money
Options for borrowing money when you don't have it on hand
Why you may not want to close your credit card and other tips for managing debt

#173: Andropause and Peak Performance - Dr. Nell Smircina Feb 25, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Dr. Nell Smircina, said Andropause can start as early as your 30's these days. But wait, do you know what Andropause is? Most men don't and it's important that you do! Andropause can be likened to a woman's experience of menopause. It's very common in our culture to talk about women's hormonal phases but we rarely talk about men's and it's so important! I can't believe I'd never heard of Andropause, and neither have many men I asked about it. If you are struggling with brain fog, tiredness, lowered libido, midday exhaustion, or generally not feeling like yourself, this is something to look into.

Dr. Nell has a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine, as well as many other degrees. With a predominantly male patient base, she became interested in this critical phase in a man’s life. She created PIQUE Health for Men where she also focuses how to help men achieve peak performance, based on their individual needs with work and lifestyle.

In our Man Alive conversation we discussed:

What Andropause is and how to treat it
How to be truly healthy, beyond the western medical model (which often leaves men struggling and confused)
The 3 Pillars of Peak Performance and surprising ways to optimize your performance
The keys to both mental and physical stamina
How to stop settling for brain fog, weight gain, exhaustion or low libido as a fact of getting older

#172: Overcome Fear and Boost Success - David Wood Feb 18, 2021

On today's Man Alive podcast episode I was joined by David Wood, a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies who became #1 on Google for “life coaching,” serving 150,000 coaches around the world. David specializes in helping people overcome their fears and reach their goals. To have an amazing career and relationships, a life full of passion, connection and adventure, it is inevitable that you will face fear at some point. Everyone does. The question is, what then? How do you move through fear so you don't miss precious opportunities? David believes that the tough conversations we avoid are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become the defining moments that shape our lives. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and even prison inmates – to create amazing results and deep connection, as well as to achieve more, by focusing on less. We discussed:

How to shift your relationship with fear so it doesn't keep you stuck and unsatisfied

#171: Building Healthy Masculinity - Ted Bunch Feb 11, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Ted Bunch, is the Chief Development Officer of A Call to Men. He is a leading voice on male socialization, the intersection of masculinity and violence, and healthy, respectful manhood. Ted is the co-author of The Book of Dares: 100 Ways For Boys to be Kind, Bold and Brave. The book has been called “a direct answer to parents’ cries for building healthy masculinity, respect, and emotional literacy in their sons.”

Many men did not grow up feeling safe to reveal all parts of themselves. They are then tempted to hide their hopes, fears, desires and emotions.

The Man Box is now understood as a way to view the limiting persona and characteristics many men have been trained to emulate. Whether its parents, teachers, media, or the culture, the message has been clear for many generations: In order to be manly, you have to be strong and tough. You can't fall apart, need help or ask for it.

Thankfully times are changing. You are likely seeing and hearing more organizations and people talking about the importance of welcoming men's vulnerability. Today's conversation is an important one to support men to be free from cultural limitations, creating more safety and well-being for all. We discussed:

How being socialized into cultures of sexism hurts everyone, including men
Ways to welcome your kids emotions and authenticity
What it will take to decrease the astronomical rate of men's anxiety, depression and suicide
The importance of speaking up rather than staying silent
The Book of Dares and integrating A Call to Men's principles into communities

When you're done with this episode, I highly recommend watching my TEDx talk called: What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal About the Crisis Between Men and Women. It's important that you're supported in your vulnerability and this talk is a great first step. Men and women have expressed how helpful this was for them to hear!

#170: Why Men Need Community - Dominick Quartuccio and Bryan Stace Feb 04, 2021

Today's Man Alive podcast guests, Dominick Quartuccio and Bryan Stace, are the founders of the Great Man Within Podcast and community. Each has their own story of resisting men's groups, but fast forward a few years and each has found incredible support, strength and freedom as they've joined communities of men.

Many men have "shoot the shit over beers" relationships, or "hang out and play sports" relationships with other men in their lives. And it's common, when men first hear about men's groups, to think "hell no, I don't want any of that emotional shit," or "No way am I going to 'open up' about my struggles or secrets with other men.”

Whether it's a men's group, or hanging out with men in a way that goes beyond shooting the shit, time with men is vital to your well-being and success as a man.

In this conversation we talked about:

The sense of emptiness or deadness men, who are doing everything they thought they should, often feel
Why taking the lone-wolf path is slower and less effective than being part of a community of men
The power of seeing another man express emotions and realizing you're not the only one who feels that way
Why men resist joining communities of men
The role of competition in both men's success AND unhappiness
