How do elite performers get on top of their game and stay there? My guest is the eponymous head of Dominique Brightmon International, a member of the John Maxwell team who has quite literally written the book on the subject. Dom has identified seven secret keys to sustainable success, and he reveals all of them in this episode. Listen in as he talks about the concept of self-leadership, and why it differentiates winners from the 'also-rans'. Why are so many people nowadays lapsing into the 'sheeple' mentality? Could it be because gaining control by weakness has become far too effective nowadays? I mean, in such a context, what is the value of even trying to perform at all, let alone at an elite level? How can we sort out following the herd versus what sounds like good ideas versus what's really going to work for us individually? Why is it that self-awareness is so massively lacking in our culture? What has the habit of instant gratification turned most of us into? What is the real dichotomy between working smart and working hard? Do we really have to get up at 4:30am like Jocko? What about affirmations, meditating and stuff like that? And surprisingly...could it be that big goals and dreams may actually be counterproductive? (What?) One thing is for sure amidst it all, trolling each other on Twitter is generally NOT a habit of elite performers.

I couldn't help but invoke pro bowler Pete Weber's infamous quote as the title of this episode. After all, we're talking about twin flames...the idea that your very soul is split here on earth and one other specific human shares it with you. I've known about this concept for quite a while, but it took until now to find the right guest. Elle Hari is indeed a world-class expert on the subject, having studied under the now-deceased undisputed twin flame guru. Now granted, I realizes this sounds like a chick thing from Cosmo on the surface, but hang with me here. What do we as men need to know, and how can we relate? I mean, is our twin flame destined to be our 'one and only'? Is she hot? Is she even a 'she'? And wait a minute...isn't this really just the same thing as the time-worn soulmate concept? (Spoiler alert...it's not.) Are you supposed to marry your twin flame? After all, wouldn't procreating with your twin flame be like inbreeding your soul? What if your twin flame is far away? Do they have the same birthday? Are identical twins twin flames? What is a push/pull twin flame? And what in the world is a 'soul family'? How do you find this person out of 8 billion people, anyway? Do they have to recognize you? What if they think this twin-flame stuff is total BS? How come the idea of twin flames dates all the way back to Plato, yet most of us have heard about it only recently...if at all? One thing is for sure in the midst of exploring this truly unique topic. We'll get down to whether this is some sort supernatural new-agey thing, or perfectly natural and just widely overlooked. Do you have one big sticking point that's keeping you from success. The new Giant Leap coaching program is designed to clear that roadblock, once and for all. https://mountaintoppodcast.com/leap

My guest Dr. Gary Salyer is a well-known subject matter expert in the area of attachment theory. That means he has spent a whole lot of time studying how--and why--humans fall in love and the alchemy of relationships. He also knows something about why people fall OUT of love and tend to hurt each other even when they're IN love. His book is called Safe To Love Again, and in this episode we talk about whether or not falling in love is worth it, and if so how to make it last. Why do so many men scoff at the idea of falling in love, as if it's grounds for surrendering one's 'man card'? Is the idea of getting into a long-term relationship with someone specifically because of how one feels toward them legit? After all, it's a relatively modern construct. And what of the confusion among us as men when we're told on one hand to be stoic in our masculinity, while on the other hand being told it's okay and healthy to exhibit more emotion...especially in the context of a relationship? So then, is love a feeling or is it more of a decision? Is it indeed better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? If we indeed lose love, how do we keep that baggage from negatively affecting our next chance at it? And how does Attachment Theory attempt to make sense of all this? If love is the question, this show has the answers. And if you're ready to move past the roadblocks and find a mutually-fulfilling relationship with the woman of your dreams, now is the time to make a bold move to get her into your life.

It's the foundation of every good solid relationship. With it, you and your significant other are set for years of blissful happiness together. Without it, you're likely doomed to failure. We're talking about trust, of course. Emily and I have enjoyed a trusting relationship with each other for nearly sixteen years now, and she finally sat down with me for a deep dive into all aspects of what that trust looks like. What causes men and women to lack (or lose) trust for each other? How do established mindsets wreak destruction on a nascent relationship before it even has a chance? Should two people trust each other at the beginning blindly, or is that earned over time? What is a reasonable amount of suspicion versus simply being paranoid? What do you do when lack of trust becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy? And how can we shake that nagging feeling of unwillingness to trust again after getting hurt over and over...isn't that kind of like not trusting oneself to begin with? And what about the strain that long-distance relationships put on trust? Do prenuptial agreements automatically betray lack of trust right from the beginning? How much does communication really have to do with all of this? Why does Emily enthusiastically support my in-field outings with you guys to practice meeting women? And for the big finale, we cover the three cornerstones of a good, solid trusting relationship that's built to last. So what about you? Are you in a relationship where trust is lacking, and want to either build it up or get it back? Would you like to get into a healthy relationship but find it hard to trust again? Let's get on the phone together and talk about it. Get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Everything would be so much easier if we could just figure out, with absolute certainty, whether a woman was sexually interested in us or not. I mean, we're told to look for eye contact, hair twirling, lip biting and other objective signals, but most of us just never, ever see that sort of thing happening right before our very eyes. Is it that we aren't getting the hints? Or could it be that there's a whole different set of clues we should be looking for? And for sure, it's not like all of these signals happen face-to-face. For example, there's no way we can see a woman twirling her hair through a text message, right? With so many potential scenarios both in-person and virtual, there's got to be a better way to accurately gauge a woman's interest level. Plus, there should be a whole different game plan for a woman you already know compared to a cold approach. My long-time friend and fellow dating coach Bobby Rio joins me to talk about all the different ways women indicate they're into us. Although we'll give you practical and downright actionable steps throughout this episode, you may be surprised by the range of situations we cover. Some of the ideas you hear will sound pretty genius to you, while others may seem somewhat obvious now that we've thrown them on the table. But either way, you'll be armed with real-world knowledge that will revolutionize your confidence and ability to approach women and make the bold moves you know you should. Remember, as always, if you truly want to master attracting and charming women, you can take full advantage of my sixteen years of in-field coaching experience. I've helped hundreds of men get the women they want, and there's no reason you shouldn't be next. It all starts with a free consultation you can set up at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
