Ask Brian – How Do I Get Abs? Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

Today's episode focuses on just the one question and we get into how to eat and train for abs, a flat stomach or a six pack.

My mic didn't work on this episode for some reason so if you're wondering about the sound quality, that's why it sounds slightly different to all the other podcasts.

#473: Former NFL Player Turned Men's Performance Coach Keyen Lage on Mastering Intimate Relationships, Understanding Sexual Polarity and Building Deep Meaningful Friendships! Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

Keyen Lage is a former NFL Athlete who sustained a neck injury that effectively ended his career.

However, he managed to turn that into a positive and started on a new journey in his life.

He decided to dedicate his life to helping others reach the pinnacle in their own lives through helping men master the art of becoming "world class" in whatever they pursue, along with mastering their intimate relationships.

Over the last seven years, working with thousands of men in helping them be as successful as possible in their career/intimate relationships, he realized most of the issues men face boil down to two things. A lack of knowledge or a lack of emotional alignment.

Here are some of the thing we talked about in today's podcast:

How embracing loneliness can lead to more self-belief and less need for external validation
The psychology of dating multiple women
Sexual polarity and why you are attracted to certain types of people
What it really takes to become a "man" and how that determines the type of women you will attract
Finding people you can have deep and meaningful connections with
