Co-Host Zan Perrion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/zan) Post-modern culture is pitting men and women against each other more and more as time passes. So who is left to make the case for the glory of men and women having the hots for each other? It seems like a weird question, but my friend Zan Perrion and I are left to stand in the gap. Zan loves women more than any man I've ever met (even myself), and proves it every day of his life. Listen in as he rekindles the case for masculinity and femininity as divinely-inspired intelligent design. Why are so many men afraid to express their natural attraction to women nowadays, especially given that heterosexual women WANT heterosexual men? What should our response be to this trend of aggressive fighting strategy toward women who hate men, or even men who hate women? Are you some sort of simp for having positive regard for women? Where did that fear even come from? What if our biggest complaints about interacting with women are really nothing more than weak excuses? What significant mental shift would transform most men's views and behaviors toward being a sexual man? Next, get Zan's thoughts on sexual equality versus 'sameness'. What is it about eye contact and non-verbal communication that so powerfully draws men and women to each other? Why is it so many men get hung up over romance? What is it women really want and need when they crave a man who's romantic? The June Masterclass For Men is called, 'How To Make Women Love You'.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) As the lyrics of one of Tyler Childers' songs say, 'There is hurt you can cause that time alone cannot heal'. When it comes to our interactions with women, a breathtaking amount of that pain is caused by what we say...or what SHE says. And when we get into a relationship, the stakes get even higher. Emily and I get straight to the point in this episode, first addressing the weird childhood refrain that 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me'. So then, what about childhood? How does what our parents--and maybe even teachers--tell us form our views of and expectations toward future romantic relationship? What's the truth about how early-stage communication between men and women can deeply impact BOTH participants, both in the short-term and the longer-term? What are the differences between how men and women tend to process conversational conflict...and the surprising similarities? What are the patterns that lead to couples blurting out extremely painful barbs at each other...and how can we guard against saying that which can never be unsaid? In what ways can be arm ourselves with wisdom so as to prevent harmful insults, angry threats and heated 'confessions' from ever being uttered to begin with? What subjects should couples absolutely avoid if they want to avoid bitterness and resentment? Finally, listen in for some practical, actionable habits that Emily and I have adopted within the framework of our marriage to ensure our conversations remain productive...even when we're cranky?

Co-Host Allana Pratt (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/pratt) The last time Allana was on, she spoke memorably about how a woman recharges a warrior's masculine energy with femininity. So when I started considering the topic of men and women being in partnership with each other rather than being adversarial, she was the first co-host who came to mind. And sure enough, this show delivers. Let's face it, there's just way too much out there about men and women lacking trust for each other, or even flat out not liking each other. Yet, if you think about it, the natural order of things dictates that men and women are designed to be together. So what happened here in post-modernity? What has contributed to the rampant blame game between men and women? What patterns of failur result in us thinking the other gender is no darned good? How has our 21st-century culture of self-absorption impacted relationships? Is our wife or girlfriend really OURS? Listen in as Allana makes a solid case for partnership being better than the sum of the individual parts. Plenty of couples go through hardship--or even crisis and tragedy--and end up breaking up. Meanwhile, other couples emerge stronger together. What's the difference maker? If we happen to have fallen into a habit of blame, what exactly do we replace it with after we get rid of it? Do you really have to give up selfhood to be in partnership with a woman? Well, of course not...but what does that look like in daily life? And finally, what are some practical steps we can actually DO to increase our level of partnership with women? Where do you stand on all of this? Isn't it time to find a PARTNER you can't wait to wake up to every morning? Let's talk about it 25 minutes for FREE. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host David Medansky (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/antidiet) Let's face it. There are a whole lot of things we are doing--either sins of commission or omission--that are shortening our lifespan as men. Not coincidentally, some of these same questionable habits are also making us less attractive to women and less likely to get ahead in our careers. Yet, we stubbornly refuse to modify our course...even when we know we're not doing ourselves any darned good. But here's the thing, the truly insidious part is we're probably also doing things that we have NO IDEA are killing us. Enter my guest, David Medansky. Now sure, like me David lost 50 pounds. But see, he doesn't believe for a second that dieting as you know it is good for you at all. For example, how are we supposed to differentiate between good, solid wisdom and convincing marketing tactics? Do you really have to get older and slower by default? What is the one simple, easy and cheap thing we can do immediately to be healthier all around and live longer, yet the vast majority of American men do NOT do? Despite the title of the episode, what are some other things we KNOW we should be doing, but don't? What is the biggest change to our culture in the last fifty years that is straight-up KILLING us...with our happy permission? What is it about our food supply that we don't know, but is definitely hazardous to our health? Are you a 'stealth mode soy boy'? This all-important episode might not only change your life, it may prolong it. Get in on the latest Masterclass For Men at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/masterclass.
