Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top

Co-Host Georganne Chapin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/intact) This very special episode is part of Podcasthon.org going on this week. It's an international effort to raise awareness for charities of podcast hosts' choice. I am thrilled to participate, and I have chosen to highlight Intact America, which is the foremost campaign in the USA against circumcision of male infants. Georganne Chapin is the Executive Director of IntactAmerica.org. She joins me for a frank and sometimes shocking discussion that will serve to give any and every man 20/20 foresight about foreskin. So what inspired Georganne to become such an activist for a men's cause, and why did she write her book, This Penis Business: A Social Activist's Memoir? Why is the USA basically the only country left on earth that still cuts boys? I mean, given that female circumcision is universally considered mutilation, why is the situation with boys any different? What were the weird myths that brought about the perceived need to circumcise boys to begin with, and how are doctors finally starting to speak up against it? Apart from the obvious pain and trauma needlessly inflicted upon babies, why is circumcision a bad deal for men for our entire lives? What are we missing out on by missing our foreskins? And how is the procedure just another cog in the medical industrial complex? This podcast indeed sheds necessary light on a very real problem that receives FAR too little attention, let alone outrage. The first step is education, and the next step is--of course--leaving our own sons intact.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === By now you know one of my biggest soapboxes around here is to 'never, ever settle'. And yes, in order to expect the woman of your dreams, you have to also 'deserve what you want'--being the man the woman of your dreams wants in return. But you may be surprised to find out I believe there's another side of the coin, in that you don't ALWAYS have to set and adhere to your highest standards when it comes to dating and relating to women. So when should you really refuse to settle, and when is it okay to relax your ideals a bit? This brief episode tells all.

Co-Host Brent Webb (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/webb) My first-time guest Brent Webb was happily into being a magician in the early part of his life, until a trip to Nepal changed his life forever. There, a monk invited Brent to imagine any word he wanted. When the monk nonchalantly spoke the correct word, 'lumberjack', Webb was floored. From there he gave 100% to learning everything he could about the true power of the mind. The first weird but fascinating concept he discovered was 'universal consciousness', including how 'our thoughts aren't our own'. What does that even mean? Well, nowadays Brent travels the globe not only explaining his findings, but also teaching millions to reprogram their subconscious minds for success and to become the person they have always wanted to be. So now that he's really not a mere magician but rather a mentalist in the legitimate sense, his live shows and training sessions show participants how to detect when someone is lying, how to improve memory and focus, how people use your own brain against you, and the mind hacks they can start using TODAY that will change the way they see the world and allow them to tap into their subconscious minds to enhance creativity and decision making. Basically, Brent's work is all about how YOU can unlock and unleash your subconscious mind to explode your growth in business, transform your social life and yes...revolutionize your success with women? How can you use what Brent teaches to get over your fear of approaching, talking to, dating and relating to women? What Brent talks about--and practices--is the closest thing to the movie Limitless you'll see in real life. Overall this is a unique and particularly fantastic episode. Wait until you hear how Brent beat cancer with his mind.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Well, you probably saw this one coming given how much I love to travel. But seriously, though...women talk about travel A LOT, especially in their online profiles. This, even though the only evidence they have of real, actual travel are a couple of pics from Cancun. What's up with that? Why is travel women's go-to subject when trying to meet guys, or even on first dates? I'll unravel the mystery AND give you a clear plan for what to DO with this information to enchant and attract more women than ever!

Co-Host Dr. Marcia Reynolds (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/assertive) When it comes to making our desires and grievances known, we as men can easily find ourselves landing on one side or the other of two extremes. Either we get angry and yell about it, or we bottle it all up and do nothing. Well, in this episode I'm joined by returning guest Dr. Marcia Reynolds. We kick things off by talking about how so many guys find it difficult to be assertive without either rocking the boat or creating some big, hairy misunderstanding. Even worse, most of us dread coming off like some sort of male 'Karen'. And I mean, we're all sick of feeling judged by others, so that's the last way we want to come off. Fortunately, there are simple ways to mitigate those situations, which Marcia happily explains. First off, our brains are naturally designed to judge everything to protect us, so how do we know how and when to act on those judgments when necessary...especially if it potentially involves someone else's behavior modification? And how can we be assertive without lapsing into passive aggression? On that note, what exactly does 'passive aggressive' actually mean? And what is the difference between toughness and assertiveness? Do women want us as men to be tough as nails all the time? I mean, is there zero margin for error there? And how should we be more assertive--or less so--within the context of our own relationship with a woman? Ha...that's a tricky one. How can arrogance cloud our effectiveness at being assertive? How does Hanlon's Razor factor into all of this? And the million dollar question...how do we measure how assertive to actually be in any given situation?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === This extra-brief episode covers a phenomenon that's not only disarmingly obvious once you recognize it, but also applicable to virtually 100% of us as humans. Given how the 'holy grail' of men's dating advice is a fall-out-of-bed simple but absolutely foolproof tip, this four-minute show delivers one of the few genuine ones you'll ever find. Just for good measure, I'll not only reveal what it is and how to use it, I'll tell you WHY it works so freaking well. Expect a clear advantage over all the other clueless guys out there...all while making women happier (and hotter) than ever.

Co-Host Marty Strong (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marty) My first-time guest is retired Navy SEAL, author, speaker and CEO Marty Strong. Post military service, Marty has built a career out of teaching men how the SEAL mindset wins in both business as well as on the battlefield. Also, how to be strategically visionary, and--interestingly enough--how to bend, break and even ignore the 'rules' to get results. In a world where many men believe being loud and bullying others is to be admired, and admitting to not knowing it all is "weak", Marty is--like every other SEAL I've ever met--almost disarmingly laid back and almost unassuming, along with being a lifelong student. So then, first off...how is it that SEALS almost always seem to be 'over themselves', yet rise to higher echelons in whatever they endeavor? What is the most effective mindset for men who find themselves at the top of the group they're a part of? How do we as men suffer when we avoid any kind of competition in life whatsoever? How and when is paranoia a good thing...and even fun? Why is a leader who expects to have all the answers all the time pretty much doomed from the start? What traits matter the most when rising to the top of the leadership hierarchy in SEAL teams? (HINT: it won't be what you probably guessed) What is the most unexpected (and disarming) trait SEALs almost always portray? When are SEALS at their strongest, even when other men may consider their strategy 'weakness'? (This is GOLDEN...and changed my life personally when I figured it out.) What is the most disastrous character flaw any man can have? How would a Navy SEAL view approaching women and possible 'rejection'? And wait until you hear Marty explain why badass combat vets are often total wimps around women!

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You know about 'sugar daddies'. You also know what's going on when a woman says, 'You're like a brother to me.' But when those two phenomena are combined, that's where truly pathetic mayhem ensues. By now you might be wondering how any guy could possibly fall into such a trap. Well, not so fast. It's a LOT easier to find yourself a 'sugar brother' than you might think. In this brief episode I'll reveal what it's all about, how it happens, and most of importantly of all--how to make damn skippy sure it doesn't happen to YOU.

Co-Host Corey Martire (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lovestrategist) Well, here we are...it's Valentine's Day again. It's no secret most of us as men utterly dread this Queen of the Hallmark Holidays for obvious reasons. But 'dating dread' it isn't just reserved for February 14th, is it? The term 'dating' itself is virtually obsolete because ain't nobody got time for that anymore nowadays. Meanwhile, it's well-documented around here how the majority of us as men are allergic to fun. So how on Earth are we supposed to actually enjoy meeting and relating to women out there? Joining the discussion is my first-time guest Corey Martire, or 'Love Strategist Corey' as she is often called. And getting a 'lady guru's' take on this turned out to be a whole lot of fun in and of itself. For starters, online dating and apps are obviously feeling more like work than fun nowadays. What's up with that? Have the sites and apps contributed to their own problems there? So then, we should probably go out into the real world and meet women there, right? But that sounds like even LESS fun to most of us. What does Corey have to say about that? Well, here's a hint...there's more to life than buying women a drink. And by the way, what might look like 'rejection' probably isn't. What about when we're actually on a date with a woman? Is there an alternative to playing '20 questions'? Should men still be chivalrous? And how is fear robbing us (and women) of fun? Finally, what are some unexpected fun ways to keep a relationship amazing even after many years?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We all know the stereotypes. It's always the Hollywood leading man or the quarterback of the football team who gets all the girls. But is it always that way? We instinctively know it's not, but that doesn't make it any less fun and interesting to find out about a certain part of our country--yes, right here in the good ol' US of A--where a completely different kind of guy gets all the girls in high school. What can we discover from this admittedly weird phenomenon? Well, for starters, we can tell just how true it is that getting the girl is all about how you make her FEEL.

Co-Host Justin Stenstrom (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/eliteman) My long-time friend and fellow men's coach Justin Stenstrom from The Elite Man is back to talk about one of his favorite subjects, men's mental health. Unfortunately, a lot of guys feel like even acknowledging the need for support in this area is an indication of weakness, but hey...we're only human. If we don't deal with our darkness and our demons, they'll ruthlessly deal with us until we do. So first off, how does our mental health affect both our attitudes and our actions toward women? What are the two main external factors that greatly affect our ability to, well..stay sane as men in this world? And why is it the more we as men care about being better men, the more susceptible we seem to be to mental health crises? Could all this be at least tangentially related to how most of us as men are allergic to fun...and feel almost guilty relaxing? And how do our lifestyle choices affect our overall mental health? What does our sense of value and purpose have to do with it? Could we have been raised to go crazy? And what if this is coming back around to how 'safe' everything is in today's world? Are we going 'stir-crazy', if not anything else? So how do we wrap our heads around this and reclaim our sanity? Well, as you might have already guessed, the first step is simply removing the blinders and recognizing there is a problem. Fortunately, Justin has other practical steps so you can take it from there.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Have you ever noticed that we as men tend to evaluate our own potential attractiveness to women the same way we evaluate how attractive women are to us? It's true...and the result is we conclude a small percentage of men who are naturally handsome are the ones who will get all the women. Well, this brief episode explains why those guys may actually suffer a disadvantage that 90% of the rest of us don't have to worry about. And what about the other small group of men who have been hit with a proverbial 'ugly stick'? Wait until you hear the true advantage they can leverage...if they're smart enough to figure it out.

Co Host Kim Ades (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/struggle) My returning guest is Frame Of Mind coach Kim Ades. She has observed that high-achieving, driven men tend to struggle in four key, and quite valid areas. The first is 'isolation', which encompasses a lot more than you might be guessing. It's not only about relationships, but also about carrying responsibility and the expectations of others. What a mess already, right? Well,that's just the beginning. Stay tuned as Kim talks about why high-achieving men often experience friction in their relationships. This friction can either be overt or covert, which Kim goes on to explain. But either way, it's invariably a source of massive frustration. But wait, there's more. High-achievers can also feel chronic dissatisfaction...at work, at home, their social lives, and for sure in their relationships with women. So what's up with THAT? The fourth struggle Kim has identified is based on a term she has coined herself, and that's 'slippage'. It's probably not what you're guessing it is. How do these four ways we struggle affect our dating lives and ultimately our relationships with women? What is it that's making so many men feel beaten down in general? Why is it that billionaires often can balance their lives to the point of having plenty of 'free time', yet most of the rest of us struggle mightily just to keep up with our daily grind? And by the way, what does our upbringing and/or our birth order have to do with any of this? Add it all up, and you'll likely not only relate to much of what is talked about in this show, but also LOVE the solutions Kim comes up with.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As we celebrate a full year's worth of Snippets From The Summit so far, our attention turns to a truly mission critical topic. What we're talking about here is the magical continuum that takes us from meeting a woman all the way through to having a long-lasting and healthy relationship with her. It all starts with being what I call 'connectable' (as described in my Invincible program), then igniting each other's masculine/feminine polarity, then culminating in true compatibility. In this brief episode, I'll explain not only what those three stages look like, but also how to achieve them in your own life dating and relating to women.

Co-Host Matt Halloran (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/matt) Most women would believe most of us as men suck at listening. Yet, all of them seem to be looking for a man who knows how. All that can mean, gentlemen, is the first of us to get this skill right will get the girl. So then, if this is so freaking important, why do we tend to mess it up? My first-time guest Matt Halloran, author of 'Shut The F Up And Listen', has it all figured out. After this episode, so will you. First off, what exactly is engaged listening? Next, what basic skill is the art of listening predicated upon...and why? There is a 'hardwired' mindset within most of us as men that causes us to miss out on opportunities to listen. How do we rewire ourselves for success? Are there situations where it's patently unfair to expect us as men to just 'shut the f up and listen' to the woman in our life? What is the ultimate positive reason to actually pause, breath and listen to a woman...especially if you want her to stick around? Shifting gears a bit, listen in as Matt shares his #1 first date tip...which is really something else. What are the most powerful three words on a first date?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's tough to experience challenges and difficulty when it comes to women. But when there's a pattern of perceived failure, that takes the frustration to a whole new level. That's when we as men can start feeling, well...jaded. We may even go around saying as much. But what does that even mean? In this episode, we'll talk about how we get jaded, why it happens and most importantly how to get out of that downward spiral. What's more, I'll also let you in on a subtle but dangerous trick we tend to play on ourselves when we feel like victims...that only really serves to underscore our victimhood. It's a downright evil self-inflicted setback, I tell you.

Co-Host Corey Nathan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/nathan) I fully realize we're all dead sick of talking about politics. The '24 election cycle is over, DJT is taking office this coming Monday, and it's time to move on. But now what? How will it all affect how we relate to women? My returning guest Corey Nathan runs an entire podcast called Talkin' Politics And Religion Without Killing Each Other, so these sort of questions are what he lives and breathes. Right off the bat, Corey suggests we as men recover an insanely useful skill that few of us recognize as important. Next, what does being able to separate what's really important from what's merely urgent have to do with all of this? Are people 'politically fatigued' about now? Is the country ready to unite? If so, does that mean women will be easier to talk to? What happens when we let politics become our religion...whether we realize it or not? Have we become addicted to fearmongering, regardless of whether or not we actually like feeling afraid? (I know, weird...) Has what can best be described as 'the feminine opinion' caused a backlash among men in terms of how they vote, and indeed in how they relate to women? Has the narrative shifted to such a radical degree in this country (and perhaps the entire world) that people are ready to salvage their dignity as independent thinkers rather than simply following their party's directives? Why hasn't people's general rejection of politics as religion led to higher church attendance? And by the way, are politics and religion really all that matters when men and women are getting to know each other on dates? I mean, lately one could easily think so. Will that balance itself out in '25 and beyond? And then, how should we as men lead to make sure we Make Seduction Great Again?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Back in the PUA era, there were some truly cheesy, if not downright sleazy marketing practices in the world of men's dating advice. Over time, however, guys must have gotten wise to them because they pretty much stopped. But bad news...they're baaaack. It could be because there's a whole new generation of younger man out there, or a whole new generation of 'dating marketers' who think they have original ideas. But either way, you absolutely positively want to avoid being sucked into these for men's dating advice traps that are making such a resurgence.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coach) Last week we covered how dating and relating between men and women has evolved over the past quarter century. But what about the next 25 years...and indeed the rest of this century coming up? What's going on with gender politics? Are people finally sick of it? Will we be able to define "man" and "woman" again? Is Masculinity back? Will women start prioritizing motherhood over Hofstedian societal gender roles again? Will people continue being social IRL, or will social media make things even worse? Will we return to valuing the life of our own species? Will we halt the aging process? Then what? Will translators minimize the impact of language barriers? Is AI going to continue to make online dating/apps difficult? Have AI girlfriends already failed forever? What will ultimately replace dating? What about cyber partners? (robots) Will the porn be so good in the future that it really is better than the real thing? (e.g. Virtual physical presence) What will the impact of extreme selfhood be? More narcissism leading to more robotics due to less social resistance? And...the question we all REALLY wonder about: Are we seeing things, or is speed dating making a comeback?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You've heard it before, and even though it sucks it's true: Whoever wants the relationship LESS is in control. So what are we supposed to do with that information? After all, it's not like we're all about getting with someone we don't really want...and if we don't really want her, isn't she just going to find someone who appreciates her more anyway? Well, yeah...all of that makes perfect sense. So there's got to be a solution to finding a woman we really want to be in a relationship with, but without giving our power away. Fortunately, there is...and it's hiding in plain sight.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coach) 25 years and one week ago, everyone's attention was on whether or not the dreaded Y2K bug was going to crash the world's computer systems and make planes fall out of the sky. And even as we partied like it was 1999, nobody's nose was buried in their smartphone because those hadn't come out yet. People weren't even texting each other. After all, if on the off chance you had texting on your phone, every message cost like sixty cents. Online dating was in its infancy, but already stigmatized as if any users were desperate losers who 'liked pina coladas'. Indeed, if a guy wanted to ask a woman out the best way to do that was in person (go figure) because picking up the phone and being confronted with an answering machine was just too stressful. But at least actual dating was still a thing rather than simply 'hooking up' or 'hanging out'. Nevertheless, getting quality dating advice from, well...anywhere? Forgettaboutit. Self-help of any kind on the still narrowband Internet was practically unheard of. Even what would become the PUA movement was still limited to 'underground' keyboard jockeys in chat rooms (!) trying to figure out tricks to 'game' women with. Social media was years away, and with it the rise of 'echo chambers' that would shape public opinion (and outrage) on all manner of ways men and women relate to each other. And yes, people were terrified of getting herpes and dying of AIDS, so sexual activity was approached very differently than it is today. Yes, a LOT has changed over the first quarter of the 21st century, and we cover the good, the bad and the ugly in this fast-paced and (actually) fun episode!

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Around New Year's every year, people tend to make New Year's resolutions. They typically last about two weeks. Well, with the dawn of 2025 the 21st century is already a quarter over. But even though life is short, it's long as well. What are you going to do with the next 75 years...or maybe beyond? Instead of simply trying to get rid of a bad habit, why not transform your entire life in a meaningful and long-lasting way?

Co-Host Delora Guignion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/delora) If you want to drive yourself nuts (and who really does?), you can knock yourself out trying to sort out the difference between masculinity and femininity, as opposed to masculine energy and feminine energy. Fortunately, you don't have to do that. All you need is this podcast episode. My returning guest is none other than the Mindset Mentor Delora Guignion from Ottawa, Canada. We indeed engage in a discussion about this heavy-duty topic, and it's guaranteed to really make you think. I mean, is everything we do--and everything we're about--really tied to our masculine and feminine nature? Can't there just be human nature? Well, maybe...maybe not. Delora and I will have to sort of agree to disagree in some ways, even though we really do agree on all the best-case scenarios for how people get along. But seriously, how are we as men in particular really hamstringing ourselves by not really understanding how femininity works? And why is it so many people--men and women alike--simply refuse to even acknowledge that men and women have different priorities and sensibilities, and that's probably okay? And that's just the warm-up. Are left-brained people in their masculine and right-brained people in their feminine? The ramifications of that question extend to almost every corner of life. All we really know is that when masculinity and femininity understand each other, whether they're left- or right-brained, we all get along better. And that, friends and neighbors, is a no-brainer.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's Christmas Eve, so what better time to bring a little joy to the world...especially the women of the world? So how do we do that? Well, when it comes to meeting and interacting with women most of us as men are continuously running a combo of thinking BIG (e.g. 'What can I impress her with?') and staying stoic and macho, lest we look like a simp. But how is that working out for you? In the real world, men who make women feel safe and comfortable with what I call 'warm levity' are the ones who get the girl. In this brief episode, I'll share a dead-simple strategy that's virtually foolproof in making women like you, feel attraction toward you and want more of you.

Co-Host Warwick Cairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cairns) Well, you've heard me talk about how we as men tend to slip into the 'suburban sleepwalk' in this life. Everything is safe, sanitized and dinner comes from the supermarket or a fast-food joint. So along comes Warwick Cairns, author of a book called How To Live Dangerously, which exhorts us as men get back to our roots. That is, a life with a whole lot more danger in it. This is, of course, a wildly controversial stance in today's Western world. But our masculine nature craves it, and Warwick is still here to tell the story, so clearly what he talks about can be satisfied in us without killing ourselves over it. To start things off, Warwick wastes no time getting to how so much of what we think is 'dangerous' is actually relatively safe, while plenty of what we think is safe is actually pretty hazardous. What is it that distorts so many people's perceptions in this regard? And how has danger itself evolved within very recent human history? Of course, that has to affect our perception of it in principle as well. I mean, has post-modernity actually created its own form of 'danger' even as the world at large has gotten so much safer? All of that said, Warwick's book is on how to bring MORE danger into our lives. What does that mean? What is it he is actually advocating? And what is he personally doing that's so dangerous at age 62...and at what price? On the other hand, what's up with those guys who live incredibly dangerously and still somehow die of old age? And what's the true 'low hanging fruit' for people who want to start living dangerously? And last, but certainly not least, how dangerous is it really to approach women and ask them out?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Confidence is the very foundation of success with women. But do we just one day become confident? Is it just a decision we make or a switch we flip? Of course not. There are stages of confidence...a continuum, if you will. In this episode I'll reveal what those are, and why most of them are part of a good solid progression toward ultimate confidence. But beware...two of the steps should be skipped altogether, even if most guys don't realize it.

Co-Host John O'Brien (https://mountaintoppoodcast.com/rude) My first-time guest is executive coach, author, speaker and university instructor John O'Brien, whose book Rudeness Rehab caught my eye immediately. After all, there's no doubt that common civility has taken a dive in our culture over the past several decades, right? I mean, as men it's perfectly good to be a bit rough around the edges and be assertive when we need to, but dude...it's like people have lost all sense of being decent to each other nowadays. Along with that, even simple self-awareness and regard for others has gone out the window. What happened there? Surely, it's not all easily passed off as the fault of social media and COVID, right? And more importantly, how do we reclaim civility as men without looking like some sort of passive milquetoast pansy or something? Well, the first step, of course, is to clearly define what we're talking about here when we refer to 'incivility'. How does incivility wreak havoc at home, at work, in our social lives and when relating to women? And even if we have our own selves under control, what are the best ways to better manage rudeness in others? I mean, are so many people being rude and socially inept on purpose, or is self-awareness still at an all-time low out there? And aren't there just some people out there who really want to get at you? How do you keep your composure with them? Or should you? And is who we are when we're around the people we're most comfortable with who we really are? And who are--perhaps ironically--the least civil people in our entire life? What advice would John give to guys who are going out meeting women, but finding most of them to be rude?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Have you noticed a different vibe out there in the world lately? Of course you have...we ALL have. Now that the election cycle is over, people are talking and acting differently. Are they even THINKING differently? In this brief episode, I'll explain the psychology behind what's going on, and why it's affecting women in particular...all for the better. Most importantly, what should YOU be doing as a man in response to this current zeitgeist RIGHT NOW, and going into 2025?

Co-Host Derek Loudermilk (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/derek) My long-time friend and returning guest Derek Loudermilk may be the most curious guys I know. Every time I talk to him, he has been exploring and considering the kind of ideas that few men dare to. So what's the latest way Derek's creative approach to life positively affect YOUR fortunes with women? Well, a lot of times we think of being successful with women as 'getting lucky', even as most reputable dating experts would proudly proclaim that luck has nothing to do with it. But wait a minute...what if you can proactively--and intentionally--engineer what most people would chalk up as pure luck? Well, Derek believes he's uncovered realistic, practical ways to do exactly that. What's more, he describes how to make miracles happen...again with intention rather than waiting around for happenstance. For example, what if you could go from where you are right now to the state of being you desire without having to wait a period of time and/or acquire newer, more complicated skills? Could you make a 'quantum leap' to getting better with women...miraculously? Would that be attributable to pure luck? How does Derek get positive responses to unreasonable requests? And how does what you speak of affect your actual reality? For example, could it be that people who identify closely with their disease or disorder are actually perpetuating their illness? I mean, how are we programming ourselves to be unlucky? And what are the practical steps to turn that around so we're luckier than ever?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We as men are primally wired to seek purpose and meaning in life. But for better or worse, most of us are also hard-wired in another way that blocks us from finding it. It doesn't have to be that way, though. In this brief episode I'll reveal a whole new, out-of-the-box way of thinking about purpose that will not only supercharge your ability to find purpose, but will most likely greatly increase your fulfillment in whatever you accomplish and however you make the world a better place. Best of all, it's an easier and less stressful an approach to it all.

Co-Host Matt Cook (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/mattcook) I know...the title of this episode completely flips the expected script, doesn't it? Well, that's purely intentional. My returning guest Matt Cook has been up to some very interesting research on how our body chemistry as men can either make or break our attractiveness to women. He kicks off the show by revealing what he has been studying lately. For example, he has been amazed by how much men can increase their results with women as well as their positive feelings toward their significant other just by making a few simple tweaks that don't involve meds, supplements, dietary changes or anything like that. How can you keep your relationship with a woman from feeling stale or boring? And what's more, how does accomplishing that mission actually contribute to you becoming a wealthier man? How should your 'sexual schedule' be adjusted if you take certain maintenance meds? How do we physically 'reset' ourselves into the mode of giving women sexual pleasure rather than simply wanting to 'get off'? (No...it's not the obvious answer!) And here's a good one...how can we as men have full-body orgasms the way we've been told women do? And what is the weird problem that happens in our relationship when we ejaculate to porn too often? (Hint: It's not what you think.) And how can breakups with women actually be more equitable and drama-free...even though the sex was amazing? And finally, how can we get our significant other on board with the changes in our sex life Matt is suggesting?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Last week I described how most men go about 'getting physical' with women from an inherently flawed mindset. But far be it from me to point out problems without offering solutions. So as promised, in this brief six-minute episode I'll show you the nearly foolproof way to inspire women to be sexually interested in you. Sure, it involves some out-of-the-box thinking, but that only means YOU will have the clear advantage with women from now on over most other guys.

Co-Host Ed Nissen (https://mountaintoppoddast.com/nissen) Despite so many accusations of toxic masculinity out there, deep down every man of character out there wants to be a hero...especially in his relationship with the right woman. This is not to be confused with being a 'simp' or some kind of pushover. This also isn't another 'Hero's Journey' talk, either. We're talking about real, actual heroism here...as the woman in your life sees it. My guest is psychotherapist and author Ed Nissin, who has thought enough about this subject that he actually wrote a book called Song Of The Hero. For starters, listen for the warning signs as Ed describes what was going on--or not going on--in his own relationship with his wife, inspiring him to make changes. What should we do when being a leader, provider and protector is met with resistance by the woman in our life? Should we just back off? Well, the good news is if you're actually trying to be a hero, you're probably already on the right track...or at least not being seen as a villain (not by sane women, right?) The next step is to understand women's behavior patterns with regard to all of this, which Ed explains how to do. How does our evolution since caveman days actually make being a hero far more complex and difficult? And what's the real world difference between simply protecting and providing and being her hero? Truly an important discussion for any man who wants a successful relationship with a high-quality woman.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === I get calls all the time from guys who are trying to get women to have sex with them, but it's just not happening. I can hear the frustration in their voices. Well, almost every time a very specific issue is affecting their success. In this short episode, I'll not only define what it is, I'll show you exactly why it doesn't work. How do I know? Because it definitely doesn't work when women try the same thing with us as men. And not to worry...in next week's SFTS, I'll show you what TO do instead.

Co-Host Raiford Palmer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/raif) The term 'break-up' itself inherently implies damage, doesn't it? But just because you're splitting up with a woman--or even heading into a painful divorce--it doesn't mean bitterness and hate has to rule the day, or that you have to hand over all of your hard earned assets to the family law profession. My guest Raiford Palmer from STG Divorce Law in Chicago, and author of the bestseller I Just Want This Done is yet another good, solid divorce law veteran who works for his clients from a position of ethics and accountability. So, what are the warning signs that a relationship is beyond repair? And what's the very first thing any man should do when he feels a divorce is imminent? How exactly does our masculine instinct to provide and protect work against us when a relationship is failing? When the divorce actually happens, should you litigate or mediate? What are the very real, and sometimes 'hidden' complications of children being caught up in the divorce? What does Raif tell people when they call him up, tell him their story and ask him whether or not they should divorce their spouse? (His answer will surprise you.) What is the value of getting an actual divorce coach, as opposed to depending on your attorney for anything other than legal support? And what is the single most costly mistake (literally) that men tend to make when sitting across the table from their soon-to-be-ex-spouse? Overall, a great conversation that will serve as a good insurance policy against losing your shirt in family law court, even if you're not currently going through that ordeal.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You can always count on me to bring you the latest warnings on how to spot fake profiles on dating sites, apps and social media. What's more, I stay on top of the latest trends to keep you from getting scammed. Very recently, the scammers have found two brand new ways to work their devious plots...and they're both nothing short of shocking. The first completely flips the script on one of the most common ways to spot online dating shenanigans. But the second one...man, this isn't only perhaps the most brazen stunt ever, it may signal the most cynical 'end game' of hookup culture itself. Seriously, it's so crazy you may think I'm joking...but I most certainly am not.

Co-Host Dana Shergill (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dana) The word 'aggression' is a loaded one, isn't it? It sounds inherently violent, so when combined with the context of sexuality, we as men tend to avoid even thinking about it like the plague. But what if my returning guest, kinky wellness coach Dana Shergill told you that men tend to have a LOT harder a time with the concept than women do? Well, any man who has ever been curious enough to crack one of those romance novels for women probably has already figured out that women fantasize in genuinely aggressive ways most of us as men would never guess. That's why this episode is not only all-important, but also--perhaps unexpectedly--a whole lot of fun. Dana explains how 'aggression' and 'fun' absolutely do peacefully coexist in the naughty little minds of women. Next, she offers a fascinating perspective on women's relationship with pain...and how different it is from men. If this conversation is sounding dangerous already, that's just the warm-up. Dana continues, explaining how there are plenty of areas in life where aggression is not only okay, but celebrated...and we need to start thinking about sex in that light. After all, she says, women already do...and they can take it. So why exactly is the bedroom the preferred venue for 'playing rough'? And with that in mind...what are the guardrails? And what are some clear-cut examples of the kind of sexual aggression women LOVE in the context of a safe place to play in? And finally, the question you've all been waiting for...why is mixed wrestling porn so hot?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's pure coincidence that I'm releasing this on election day here in the United States. Trust me, this is completely apolitical (perhaps to the disappointment of some of you). Yes, we're talking about women of course. And in this brief episode I'm blowing the lid off the myths the PUA movement perpetrated about hot babes at clubs, their little black dresses, their snobby attitudes and especially their 'rejection mechanism'.

Co-Host Jim Wolfe (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wolfe) The term 'propaganda' in and of itself is both sensational and polarizing. Most of us have a definition of it in our heads, but is it truly accurate? And is the political realm really the only place we are subject to it? My returning guest Jim Wolfe and I are both firmly of the opinion that not only dating but also male/female relationships in particular are being propagandized increasingly often in today's world. So first off, what really IS the proper definition of 'propaganda'? What brand of it is going on here in the 'free world'? And most pertinent of all to this particular conversation, how HAS dating and relating to women become propagandized in recent years? Listen in as Jim introduces three types of filters we can use to identify and sort out 'dating propaganda'. Is there relation-prop in our movies, and even our music? Why is misinformation so effective at keeping men and women apart, when our own primal instincts are still very much intact? After all, the areas where we as men in particular are being propagandized are pretty obvious, aren't they? So what, then, are we as men to do? Should we react to being propagandized in a certain way? Should we double-down rather than get defensive about how we as men are being vilified in the post-modern world? Or is there a better way to respond, that involves more real, actual male leadership? What is the ultimate, virtually foolproof 'propaganda buster'...especially as it pertains to women and dating?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As we all noticed, and I've talked about on this show, it's as if everyone let their social muscles atrophy during COVID. But now it's been way too long since the lockdowns ended for anyone who wants to be social to not be out there getting after it. But nevertheless, lots of us as men are still, well...alone. And despite what we may be telling ourselves, we're flat-out starving. And worse...it's almost as if we've intentionally decided to starve ourselves. Why is that going on? How did we get here? And most of all, what are we going to do about it? After all, whether we realize it or not, plenty of good, decent women are out there starving as well...and they're waiting for us to LEAD.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching) Okay, I'm going to admit right up front that Emily and I obviously believe relationships are worth getting into, since we've shared a great one together for almost 19 years. But we also completely get that YOU might not be like US. In this episode we acknowledge all the legit reasons why perfectly good, decent and sane people might just swear off getting into any kind of relationship at all with MOTOS, let alone long-term ones. For starters, we talk about how this isn't our grandparents' world anymore and how that affects people's perspectives on relationships. How can either a man OR a woman have a valid point in this context? Even though it may seem sad to think that people are out there completely giving up on finding the relationship they actually want, what if there are folks who really do NOT want that in their lives...and they're simply saying 'no' to societal pressure to conform? Does that societal pressure even exist anymore, by the way? Even if you ARE relationship minded, is it okay to think these thoughts? And well, what are the good reasons to get into a relationship? And why stay in one if it's going poorly? On a related note, is arguing and bickering a sign the relationship's in trouble...or could it be the exact opposite? Well, the easy answer (demanding more elaboration, which we offer) is 'it depends'. Stay tuned as we make the case for getting everything off your chest as perhaps the healthiest sign of all that the relationship is a healthy one. It's just a shame that too many couples never even realize that level of intimacy is open to them.

==== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Way too many of us as men put way too much pressure on ourselves to be absolutely perfect with women. The irrational fear is that if we mess up even ONCE, women will dump us for some other, apparently more 'perfect' guy. Well, here's the thing. No matter how good you are--even at a world-class level--you're never, ever going to get EVERYTHING right. And yes, women are generally more forgiving than you think...after all, they screw up too. Here's the secret of how men who are at the top of their game recover from even unforced errors, bounce right back and WIN.

Co-Host Lisa Concepcion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lovequest) My first-time guest today is my new friend Lisa Concepcion of Love Quest Coaching in Sarasota, FL. First of all, yes...she made it through Milton unscathed, which I was glad to hear. But just hours before the hurricane hit, she joined us for a head-on conversation about what's up with women socially nowadays, and WHERE ARE THEY? After all, you guys hammer me constantly for new and effective ways to find women AND meet them, and Lisa is the perfect one to have that all-important conversation with. Right up front, Lisa let's us know she's crystal-clear on how difficult it is for us as men out there, no thanks to what she calls a 'cocktail' of issues and concerns that complicate finding, meeting and being social with MOTOs. Lisa's first suggestion on where to find high-quality women is so obvious, yet so often overlooked, that it'll hit you like a ton of bricks. Next, Lisa shares with us what she tells women she coaches about how and where to find men. This is a massive insight because, after all, all of this works best when men and women end up at the same places at the same times, right? What does it mean to be 'heterophobic'? How did we get the crazy idea that bars and clubs are where to meet women? And what is the exact OPPOSITE place from bars or clubs to meet women...and absolutely amazing? Where do women who see themselves as 'wife-material' go? Can a woman who dresses like a slut on weekends really be a 'good girl' under there? And hey, wait a minute...if decent men and women are designed to be together and it isn't so complicated, why then is it so difficult for us to find each other?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === I've talked to many of you who feel as if you have plenty going for you, and by all rights should be meeting and attracting women like crazy. Yet somehow, you're not. In some cases, I've heard stories about how you've read all the books, watched all the videos and maybe even have hired multiple coaches...but the same old, shop-worn dating advice just isn't getting you anywhere. Well, the solution to this frustrating, enigmatic problem might really be a lot more simple than it seems. Simple...but not necessarily easy. It all starts with the basic mindset shift I reveal in this brief podcast, and once that happens your thoughts, words and even your behavior follow...automatically (and almost immediately) making you more irresistibly attractive to woman than ever before.

Co-Host Scott Grace (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/grace) Using humor in your life is powerful, and it all starts with having a sense of humor...which is different than being funny, right? My guest Scott Grace is not only an author of a book on masculinity, he's been a professional humorist for years. So to get started, why is having a sense of humor and appreciating comedy so much more beneficial to us than we even realize? And what do dolphins have to teach us about life? And why do so many men take themselves so seriously...when we already realize it's no fun to do that? Do we have to be some sort of comedian to pull this humor thing off correctly? What else can you do in the name of humor to make women feel safer and more comfortable with you? Does it make sense for us as masculine men to indeed give levity a chance? Should we give peace (or piece?) a chance while we're at it? Last, and certainly not least, Scott 'graces' us with an impromptu unplugged concert selection, which definitely does not disappoint.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You meet a woman and are wildly attracted to her. But she's has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, you're thinking she would be much better off with you than with him. Is it ever okay to try to get them to break up? What signs should you look for from her that things aren't necessarily going so well between the two of them. If and when you DO see those signs, what should you say? What should you do? How can you do the RIGHT thing instead of relying on some weird or even unethical 'boyfriend destroyer game' tactics?

Co-Host Cary Valentine (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cary) The term 'inner game' has been around for decades, dating at least as far back as Timothy Gallwey's seminal book The Inner Game Of Tennis. But since then, the concept has been applied to much more general areas of life than just tennis. My guest Cary Valentine is a deep thinker on this subject, to the point he's named his organization Champion Your Inner Game. According to Cary, a lot of people take a curious interest in the general idea of improving their inner game, but have a hard time actually defining what it means. Well, to start off, he offers a solid definition, along with the real-world goals that can be reached by focusing on it. Cary would say that the neuroscience of the subconscious is a language. What does he mean by that, and why is it so important to understand? And further, why is getting our inner game under control so hard to do...particularly here in Western 'developed' cultures? What is the simple (but apparently difficult) first step most men need to take in order to get their inner game in order? What inner game steps actually make our outer game better? What was Kobe Bryant's secret to bulletproof inner game? How did Cary set his dreams in motion and make his ambitions happen in a completely different, out-of-the-box way than most? In particular, how did his focus on inner game result in finding a great woman? How can you do the same...practically and realistically? Why does having a scatterbrained inner game prevent us from getting better as a man in just about every way? How did being a student drummer at Berklee College of Music (not unlike Miles Teller's character in Whiplash) practically force Cary to focus on his inner game? And finally...how did Cary later 'bring LA to Hawaii', starting with getting his head together?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We've all heard the term 'women's intuition', or 'female intuition' dozens of times. But what does it mean? Well, after listening to this brief episode you'll emerge with a clear understanding of how women's brains tend to function differently from ours as men. But what's more, you'll also discover how to turn that knowledge into more women liking you, wanting more of you, feeling safe with you and...best of all...being sexually attracted to you.

Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/name) My guest Dr. Laura Sicola is a TEDx laureate with over 7 million views. As a cognitive linguist and a leadership communication and influence coach, I had big plans to do a show with her on all of the stuff she's a genius at. For starters, she's from Philadelphia, where everyone talks fast...so she KNOWS the importance of, say...slowing down and enunciating, for sure. BUT...as you'll notice when you listen to the episode, all of that got flipped on its ear when we kicked off by talking about how our NAMES relate to dating and attraction. It was such a powerful and unique topic we stayed on it for 50 minutes! After all, even Dale Carnegie himself acknowledged how everyone's favorite words are their own name, and their favorite sound someone saying it. So, how should you actually SAY your name when introducing yourself to people...especially women? And how can you know a woman is attracted simply by how she says your name? What should you do if you meet a woman and instantly forget her name (which we all have)? What is the absolute best way to introduce yourself to a woman so that she'll remember you (and your name)? Next, listen in as Dr. Laura gives you the perfect strategy if you're name is frequently misspelled or mispronounced. Then, what if you're dating a great woman...except you can't stand her name? On that front, what if you can't stand your OWN name...then what? It's a funny, entertaining show with some legitimately original actionable content...enjoy.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We almost congratulate 'average' or 'normal' guys who land an exceptionally hot or sexy chick, don't we? And we use terms like 'out of their league' or 'punching above their weight' to describe the situation. How do those guys DO that? Well, what if I told you what's keeping YOU from doing the same is likely all in your head? In this brief episode I give you a full description of the mental trick most of us as men play on ourselves, why we're 'barking up the wrong tree' to begin with, and how to turn the tables on this whole toxic mindset. Wait until you get a load of the dirty little mind trick we play on ourselves. You'll wish you had heard this message YEARS ago.
