Co-Host Patrick James (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/raw) My guest is fellow dating coach for men and head honcho over at Raw Dating Advice, Patrick James. This time we hit a topic head-on that all too often is only covered with a negative twist. That, of course, is what to do if you've become jaded against women in general, or just discouraged from dating and relating to them. Unfortunately, almost every time you see this topic out there, it's because someone on YouTube is helping you throw yourself a pity party. Basically, there's WAY too much encouragement out there for men and women to stay away from each other...especially if we've just been through some sort of ordeal at the hands of a woman. But here's the thing, that mindset has 'victimhood' written all over it, and Patrick and I are in total agreement that's anti-masculine. I'm not going to keep you in suspense here. If you've started to feel yourself getting angry and bitter toward chicks, you have ONE choice. You have GOT to take your power back and be your own agent for change. The undeniable truth is that men and women were literally designed to be in partnership with each other, and if you're genuinely looking for a pathway out of the funk you've been feeling recently, Patrick and I have your back. Plus, you'll get some real, actionable info on attracting women and relationships in general...as tends to happen when two dating coaches get together on this show and start spittin' game.

Co-Hosts Zach Browman and Devon Ash (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/fluency) The guys from Social Fluency have teamed back up together after a lengthy hiatus, and they're appearing here on the show for the first time. Zach and Devon have long been known as the go-to social skill experts in the world of men's dating advice, so there's nobody better to have on board for a full-on, no-holds-barred discussion of what it's like out there socially in the real world nowadays. Not that many people are actually being social IRL at all, frankly. That's a focal point of the discussion. Basically, we all agreed that there was a pre-COVID state of social skills, then COVID locked us all down, leading to a post-COVID state...and NOW a new and different one is upon us. Could this new fourth iteration of the social climate out there be the 'new normal'? We sure hope not...and we'll tell you why. And what about online dating and apps? Social media in general? What is going on between men and women nowadays...especially very recently compared to even, say...five years ago? How can it be that both men and women seem so angry and jaded, yet are reporting such loneliness at the same time? Are people finally fed up with 'virtual' everything? And could that be driving the recent uptick in doing in-field weekends focused on meeting women in real life? What really will be the next stage...and how can we as men make it a turn for the better rather than the worse? The most sobering part of the whole discussion is how often these guys and I have been arriving at similar conclusions--sometimes using the exact same words--despite not even having been in touch with each other lately.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching) If you've been out there dating for any time at all, you've likely compiled your fair share of weird dating stories. It's easy to think that those situations could only happen to you, and you've GOT to be the only one. But guess what? PLENTY of apparent weirdness on first dates is tons more common than you probably guess. Emily joins me this time around to recount not only a few of our own most bizzaro stories, but those of others we've heard from over the years. You can likely guess we started off with tales of gross misrepresentation and false advertising online. That topic is closely followed by talk about those awkward instances when only one of you thinks the date went well. Backlash when it didn't go well? We've got you covered. What about when she won't go away quietly? And don't forget those completely inappropriate demonstrations of or impatience about sexuality up front...or the opposite, taking FOREVER to make a move. What if your date (or you) are too flirty with everyone else? What if she becomes drunk and out of control...is that their "real self"? How is a date supposed to go well if you talk about your Mommy all the time (or worse)? Have you ever had a woman bring unexpected "guests" on a date...either literally or figuratively? What are the signs she's not even in the same reality as you? Maybe you're better off if one or the other of you does, in fact, leave with someone else (as we finally get around to talking about as well).

Co-Host Lauren Zander (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lauren) My returning guest, life coach Lauren Zander, is a self-described truth teller, who according to her website 'upholds a take-no-prisoners brand of radical personal accountability'. So is it any surprise she's on a personal crusade to inform the world about the seven ways people lie? Seven may be a lucky number, but not in this case...as Lauren boldly believes nobody should EVER lie, not even those 'little white lies' most of us see as socially acceptable, if not socially necessary. She observes that most of us KNOW when we're being lied to, even if we only sense it without being able to put of finger on exactly how. Lauren also wouldn't fall for the old PUA question of, 'Who lies more, men or women?' as she firmly believes ALL of us lie, whoever we are. Therefore, her list is not gender specific. So first off, why ARE social lies allegedly designed to keep conversation light and friendly really a bad thing? Next comes my theory on how there are two kinds of people when is comes to the issue of social truth...and Lauren surprises me with her opinion in response. We then expose how people with a lot of money lie, as well as people who are going through a rough patch. Then, there are the infamous errors of omission vs. commision. What about what Malcolm Gladwell refers to as the human being's 'default toward truth'? How does that enter into it? Why are brown-nosers such liars? And on the same note, here's objective proof why women roll their eyes at 'Mr. Nice Guy'. What does the infamous 'Imposter Syndrome' have to do with all of this? And finally, what's the practical application to all this? Should we simply NEVER lie to ANYONE, EVER? Get the free book Sticking Points Solved and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Tripp Kramer aka 'Tripp Advice' (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/tripp) After all these years, finally here's an episode about meeting women on Halloween. But careful...if you listen even a little bit closely, you'll discover plenty of golden tips you can use when meeting and interacting with women all year 'round. This all started when I asked my mastermind group who was up for this discussion, and none other than Tripp Kramer responded immediately. As it turns out, even after running a podcast himself for nine years and compiling over a million followers on YouTube, he hadn't covered Halloween nearly enough either. So we get started by dropping some serious tips for meeting women at Halloween parties. This isn't just about what to dress up as and how to talk to women about their costumes, however. There's plenty in there you can parlay into pickup success all year. Meanwhile, what are some of the biggest mistakes men make during the Halloween holiday? What is going to make you stand out in a field of other men in costume? You'll also get tips on exactly what to say--and not to say. And what if you already have a woman in your life...or have at least taken her out to coffee already? Wait until you hear the foolproof strategies both Tripp and I throw on the table for you. And hey...why is there only one holiday in this culture when we dress up in costume? Have we been ripped off?

Co-Host Chase Amante (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/chase) Finally, after 16 years of production, we're getting around to doing a show on being an interesting man. It's an elusive term, isn't it? And most of us know far too few truly interesting people--whatever that means. Consider how 'The Most Interesting Man In The World' himself, from the beer commercials, failed to be replaced by anyone who could touch how genuinely interesting he was. Nevertheless, the quest to be interesting is a valid one, and indeed attainable. With me today to break it all down is my friend Chase Amante from Girls Chase, who has given the subject plenty of thought. We start the whole thing off with the number one most misunderstood factor when it comes to being interesting--which most men get exactly backwards. Next, we've all heard that 'mysterious' men are interesting. Yeah, well...how do you do that without being creepy? Does finding common ground with a woman really make you more interesting? Let's say you really do have tons of interesting stories and experiences. How and when do you get around to telling women about it all? As it turns out, there's a simple two-word phrase that will help keep that in proper perspective no matter who you're talking to. Finally, what is the mental state someone MUST be in before you can be truly interesting to them? Get in on the latest Masterclass and much more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Mary Beth Robinson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marybeth) My guest literally has a super-cool specialty. She's an expert on helping you find your superpower. Here's the deal. Women seem to generally be better at getting acknowledged and acknowledging each other for who they are. But meanwhile, we as men are often acknowledged specifically for what we accomplish. We're rarely seen for who we are. That doesn't change the simple fact that men NEED and WANT that. And it makes a huge difference in both our very sense of identity and our confidence level. That's where Mary Beth Robinson steps in, helping people find their very own superpower...the most powerful and effective feature of WHO THEY are. From there, what to DO with that superpower comes next. See how cool that is? So then, how DO you find your superpower? Why do people often completely dismiss their superpower, even after they know what it is? What does Mary Beth mean, exactly, when she says, 'If you don't use your superpower, it will use you'? And what are the kind of superpowers that make us as men sexy? Wait until you hear how Mary Beth describes this phenomenon, because it's NOT going to be what you expect. Perhaps hilariously, the examples we come up with are from the political realm, and my promise is you'll see the dynamic we're referring to immediately. And hold on...what? Mary Beth is a guitar aficionado...and wait until you hear who the truly sexy guitarists are!

Co-Host Seth Nelson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/seth) My guest is a divorce lawyer in Florida with quite an interesting distinction. Not only has he himself been divorced, he has recently gotten married again...this time to a girl he's known since elementary school. Now, how can a guy like Seth who sees the flotsam and jetsam of the Florida family law system on a daily basis keep from becoming cynical about marriage in general? I mean, he has as good an excuse for becoming a MGTOW as anyone. Well, wait until you hear Seth's somewhat surprising view in support of marriage, and of having a quality woman by one's side. You'll also find out how Seth bounced back from his own divorce and what he did to minimize the chances of ever having to go through it a second time. Hint: The story will sound familiar. Next, discover the all-important secret of how Seth got out of the 'just be friends zone' with the woman who is now his wife. In Seth's opinion, what's the number one breakdown in relationships leading to divorce? And what does a divorce lawyer say on dates when women ask what he does for a living? And what's more, what's the surprising thing women told him when they found out? But in all semi-seriousness, how did being a lawyer both help and hurt his chances on dates...and what are the ramifications thereof nowadays in his married life?

Co-Host Dr. Anthony Balduzzi (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/fitfather) The importance of mental sharpness as a man isn't focused upon nearly enough in general. But what almost NEVER gets covered is how important it is to attracting women and keeping them attracted. Dr. Anthony Balduzzi is a men's health doctor who specializes in maximizing your physical health for overall effectiveness. That means he has distanced himself from the 'sick care' culture prevalent nowadays in healthcare. One of the most significant parts of his practice is helping men identify the causes of the 'brain fog' that affects a frightening number of us nowadays, eliminate it if it affects us and--most of all--prohibit it from happening in the first place. For starters, how much of what's going on here can be attributed to "Long Covid", as kind of a sub-pandemic? Tune in as Dr. Balduzzi explains a whole host of different factors that affect mental acuity nowadays, leaving us to wonder how any of us as men can keep our wits about us at all. So what are the different ways our mental sharpness is under assault, even from some unexpected angles? How much of what we're warned about in this regard is 'tin foil hat' conspiracy theory compared to what's backed by peer-reviewed medical science? And perhaps most curiously of all, what is it about guys who are 'naturals' with women that may go well beyond the obvious? I'll tell you, this turned out to be one of the most informationally valuable episodes in recent memory. After recording it, I told Dr. Balduzzi I felt like I my medical insurance should get billed for the session. Yes, what he talks about is THAT powerful and essential.

Co-Host Cyndi Olin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/olin) Sometimes even after nearly 400 episodes, it occurs to me that we've let a reasonably important topic somehow slip through the cracks after all these years. This time we're catching up on the idea of second dates. It all started when my long-time friend and erstwhile Clubhouse colleague Cyndi Olin wrote an excellent article to her mostly female audience about why men don't ask women out again after the first date. Although she warned her readers the real reasons aren't what they may seem, it occurred to me that plenty of us as men can't always put our finger on the 'why' there, either. So naturally, we kick off the show by hashing that question out. Then, Cyndi herself brings up the idea of what I call 'warm levity'...and the version of it she teaches women. Where should you go on the second date, and what questions should the two of you ask each other? What changes if you're not exactly relationship-minded right now? Do people sometimes go out on second dates even if they're not really interested? If so, why? What are some red flags we should be looking for on second dates? Why are so many men AND women more fearful on second dates than first dates? Get in on the latest Masterclass For Men and more when you visit https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Sep 15, 2023

Co-Host Joe Gatto (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/chef) As you may know, I not only love to cook, I have always loved cooking for women. Having that ability is like holding the codes for the nuclear weapon of attraction, and I've literally written the book on the subject. So you may be wondering why it has taken me so freaking long to talk about it on this show. Well, as is typically the case, it's all about having the right guest. Joe Gatto is a celebrity chef on radio and TV who absolutely, positively agrees that we as men gain a legit superpower when we can cook for the woman in our life. In fact, he'll be the first to tell you how women love a man who can cook, because that's exactly how he got his wife to adore him. Now listen, even though Chef Gatto is well-known for making everything from scratch (including his utensils and even his charcoal), he's completely on board for making this all-conquering skill as simple as possible for you to learn. Stay tuned for practical steps to wowing women with your apparent culinary prowess, along with how to literally set the table for romance. What's more, Joe and I also reveal WHY all of this works so well (hint: it's SCIENCE), which helps you have even more 20/20 foresight when attracting women. And of course, we also talk plenty about why it is that so many of us as men eat so poorly, the three major pitfalls most of us as men face when cooking for ourselves, and how we can start eating a more healthy and nutritious diet without taking hours and hours out of our busy schedule to do so, and certainly also without breaking the bank. In fact, it's probably more expensive for us to eat poorly than to eat well.

Co-Host Michael Allison (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/allison) Whether we realize it or not, any adversity and trauma we experience earlier in life tends to have a deeply detrimental effect on both our mindset and our relationships later. My guest's story is about as clear a demonstration of that dynamic possible, which alone makes it worth hearing. But the flat-out truth is Michael Allison has faced more ordeals--sometimes one after the other--than most of us have had to endure. Yet, he ultimately refused to quit, and refused to be a victim. Nowadays, he's living his best life and wants the same for every man within the sound of his voice. So, how did Michael bounce back from years of struggle...emerging with a growth mindset rather than what he calls a 'fixed' mindset? What does it mean to 'break the bottle'? Why is it actually easier to be vulnerable when you should be than most guys expect? Is a long-term relationship with a high-quality woman truly the ultimate 'status symbol'? And while I often say a great relationship shouldn't feel like work, what is the actual work we need to do ahead of time in our own lives to be ready for that? This episode is one of the most inspiring ones, for sure. But what's more you'll find the discussion not only empowering, but entertaining. Finally get your success with women on track.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Every one of us has found ourselves out on a date with someone who creeped us out. And no...it's not gender-specific. But what does 'creepy' even mean? Why is it often so hard to define? Well, in this episode Emily joins me to break down exactly what constitutes such infamous creepy behavior...and how it tends to impact men and women differently. Is it possible some people don't even realize they're being creepy? Do others know for sure they are in fact creeps, but like it that way? What's more, why is it perfectly normal guys are often so concerned they're going to come across as creepy? How do we relax and avoid that worry...lest it weirdly become a self-fulfilling prophecy? What is the difference between male creepy behavior and the female version? How many women out there have somehow convinced themselves it's impossible for them to be creepy? Stay tuned for the one shining example of how the absolute best of intentions can actually backfire spectacularly and seem insanely creepy. What are the warning signs that the person you're with is starting to get creeped out? Next, Emily creeps me out in real time by randomly shifting the discussion to disgusting bodily functions...and in doing so makes a really good point. What kind of behavior might be creepy when you barely know someone, but completely normal and okay once you've been around each other for a while? And why is that? Under what rare circumstances could a certain person get away with something socially that would be creepy if nearly anyone else did it? If a first date is going in a creepy direction, is there any way to salvage it? Is 'Mr. Nice Guy' creepy to women? How can a man who by all appearances should be the most attractive to women easily end up being the creepy guy instead...for the same reasons? And why is is that whether we move too quickly or too slowly sexually, we're creepy? Get on my calendar and talk to me. The first 25 minutes is free: https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Sydney Richdale (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/richdale) This episode features returning guest and sexpert Sydney Richdale. As promised, Sydney offers her uniquely female perspective on how men can grow up but not necessarily reach an evolved, mature sexual mindset. Fasten your seat belts because this indeed is a VERY different episode than last week's edition. Sydney gets as practical and objective as possible, throwing down some actionable ways we as men can supercharge our sexual presence with women in ways few men ever get to enjoy the results of. For starters, we agree that there's a time and place for the most primal, visceral and even selfish aspects of human sexuality. But it shouldn't be to the exclusion of what gives sexual relationships a whole lot more depth and meaning. So then, what are those more 'evolved' elements, if you will? In order to express mature male sexuality, must every sexual experience be relationshippy and about falling in love long-term? What does it mean to be 'connected to one's c*ck'? What can we do to enrich the sexual experience so it's not simply about orgasm and ejaculation? And what the heck is 'sensual choreography'? How does learning to take our time enjoying sexual pleasure translated almost directly to instant sexual maturity? And how does our sexual evolution affect any shame and guilt we feel...and act upon? What makes most men think they're excellent lovers when they're clearly not? And along with ED and PE, what about that OTHER sexual performance issue nobody talks about, but which TONS of young men in particular are affected by?

Co-Host Michael McPherson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sexenergy) Most men generally view the concept of human sexuality through the scope of getting laid. As long as they're 'getting some', that's really the point. But deep down, all of us know there's potentially much more than that to a sexual relationship with a woman. My returning guest is an expert on human sexuality who has--like all of us--been on a lifelong journey of sexual evolution. But how are we doing on that journey? It's obvious that even many who call themselves 'sexperts' aren't all that far along the path. How much of this phenomenon of sexually under-evolved men is tied to our view of women in general? Do we consider the value and/or even the ramifications of being in a sexual relationship with a woman above and beyond the physical sex act? Even if 'crazy p*ssy is the best p*ssy', what does 'best' even mean in that context? How can knowing the difference between sexuality and sex energy help matters? How much has societal influence on men to view their sexuality as somehow toxic or even predatory affected our growth as sexual beings? And could it be that women themselves are feeling a bit, um...'under-penetrated' and therefore under-satisfied by men in bed as a direct result of all this? And as an overarching theme, should our primal sexual nature be evolving at the same pace our society is? If so, what should that look like? And of course, what should we as men actually DO about this whole topic? As it turned out, the topic of this episode is such a good one that it ended up being the first of a two-part series. Tune in next week for a female sexpert's take on it.

Co-Host Julie Ferman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/ferman) My guest is a well-known matchmaker who I should have had on the show ages ago, in large part because in many ways she's like my sister from a different mother. She's hilarious, unoffendable and agrees with me on most of the dating and relationship stuff we talk about around here. So with a wild woman like Julie on the mic, you know we needed to bring the noise with a great topic. Therefore, in this show we're covering how both men and women always seem to be too busy to date nowadays. What's the deal? Do people really get way too wadded up in their careers, friends and other adventurous pastimes such that they never get around to sharing life with someone else...even for a couple of hours? Is it that porn and social media have replaced real people? Is it that nowadays we can't even be bothered with anyone else anymore in general? Or wait...is it really all about making excuses? After all, as soon as two busy people meet and fall for each other, these huge chasms of time open up for them to spend with each other, right? Is all the reticence to crush those excuses and make time for dating really about fear? If so, fear of what, exactly? Is it shyness? Fear of rejection? Or do people simply trust each other less than they used to? And why shouldn't most 'busy' people hire a matchmaker, according to the matchmaker herself? Enjoy this episode, then get up off the couch and spend time with a great woman. After that, head to the website for some free goodies and to check out the Masterclasses.

Co-Host Ruari Fairbairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/beer) We as men tend to have a complicated relationship with alcohol. My guest, Ruari Fairbairns is well aware of that. That's why even though he's a professional advocate for drinking less, he comes from a completely different perspective than the tee-totaller activists out there who would seem to label anyone with a beer in their hand as an alcoholic. Indeed, despite the catchy title of his practice, One Year No Beer, Ruari still occasionally pops the top himself. If that sounds hypocritical, it's not. His is no heavy-handed, all-or nothing stance. Rather, he brings the unique message of encouraging us as men in particular to change our relationship with alcohol. In his educated opinion, over time alcohol robs us of our mental and physical health to a degree we don't even realize. Once we give ourselves a break from it, we start thinking and feeling better...causing us to WANT to drink less (if at all), instead of feeling as if we're being strongarmed into sobriety. It's a novel approach designed for the HUGE demographic of men who like to drink, but aren't clinically alcoholics. A lot of men drink alcohol to unwind at the end of the day. But is that really the best way to do so? And what if we find ourselves only drinking in certain situations? What if we don't want to stop being in that situation? And is drinking non-alcoholic beer a decent way to quit alcohol? What if there was a new, high-tech alcohol substitute that gave you all the benefits with none of the downside?

Co-Host Richard Strother (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/strother) My guest Richard Strother calls himself The Widower's Wingman. And indeed, after he lost is wife tragically several years ago, Richard noticed there was very little valuable information out there for men who had lost their significant other, specifically as it applied to potential new relationships with women. But lest you bail out of this episode because that specific issue doesn't affect you, it turns out Richard has a lot to offer about getting back out there after any previous relationship ends, whether that's because of breakup, divorce OR widowhood. So then, should you really just simply 'get back out there'...or wait like a full year or whatever to do so like many recommend? And on a related note, why is it so frustrating to get all that advice from well-meaning friends and relatives right after your loss? And I mean, why should any man even want a new relationship after a special one ends? It's not like you're really going to get a 'rebound chick' like so many warn against...or are you? And when the time does come--whenever that is--are you seeking a new relationship to fill a void, or to share a life? And what if you want to cling to what 'set up' you have left as much as you can rather than disrupting literally everything at once? Finally, as a valuable side benefit to having listened to this show, you'll get new and powerful insight into how to relate to a widowed woman, should you ever meet one and find her interesting.

Co-Host Dana Shergill (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dana) My guest refers to herself as a 'kinky wellness coach', and she's quite sure most of us as humans are a lot naughtier, sexier and yes--even kinkier--than we give ourselves credit for, let alone admit. So with that in mind, you can already guess that Dana Shergill is outspoken, unashamed and downright unoffendable. And that combination always makes for a great show, especially when we're welcoming a female guest. So on with it, then...what does a kinky wellness coach actually do for a living? What does Dana mean when she says kinkiness is an outlet for aggression, imagination and attention? Why is that so important? And wait a minute...isn't 'aggression' a dangerous term to use when applied to men and sexuality? Meanwhile, when it comes to sex, does any flavor other than vanilla classify as 'kinky'? And can it possibly true that women are every bit as naughty and potentially kinky as men are? If so, what's holding them back from expressing it? Pornography aside, what can pop culture in general add to our kinkiness? For example, what do the books, movies and music women consume say about what's really going on inside their heads sexually? In fact, could it be true that women are sending us signals that they're sexual--and even kinkier than we realize--without us ever picking up on that? What are some examples of ways more people than we think are just as 'kinky' as we are? How about bondage, heightened sensual experience, risk of getting caught, or threesomes (and moresomes)? What is BDSM and why is it not necessarily as intimidating as people thing it is? And in keeping with the theme of other recent episodes, could it be that kinkier, more 'adventurous' sex makes us feel more alive?

Co-Host Ryland Hormel (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/hormel) My guest made the bold decision to emerge from post-Covid Northern California on a two-year quest to both experience true freedom and capture it both on film and in print. After talking first-hand to hundreds of people, the end result is his new book When Do You Feel Free?: Voices Across America. Ryland Hormel joins me on this episode for a man-to-man discussion on how we as men tend to define freedom. But wait...is that how we should define freedom? How have men's views on freedom changed within the last generation or so? Truth be told, many men haven't just simply lost their sense of freedom, they've begun to wonder if freedom is even what they really want. So how about it, then...when DO you feel free? What exactly is Ryland's 'freedom equation'? What does Ryland mean when he claims 'freedom as a feeling'? How is freedom integrally related to choice? Why is overcoming fear so important to feeling free? If we as men tell ourselves we're not allowed to experience emotions, or even have any fun, doesn't that constrain us rather than free us up? What is the importance of letting go of attachments and constraints? How did so many of us become so detached from our very purpose, instead living vicariously through TV and social media? How has the 'easy button' subtly robbed us of freedom? And most of all, how does genuine connection and community with others enhance our freedom...or is that only for developing countries anymore?

Co-Host John Lovell (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/warrior) My guest John Lovell is well-known to many as The Warrior Poet, a Special Forces vet known and loved both for his 2A advocacy and his equally formidable dad jokes. One of the many subtopics of his new book, The Warrior Poet Way, is how today's post-modern men can benefit from returning to ancient wisdom. According to John, that's where we'll find both practical answers to portraying masculinity as well as primal elements of sexual attraction. Tune in as we discuss how wisdom, strength, and significance are old-school masculinity, dating back to primal roots. Why exactly has society been neutered, apparently absolving men from the need to provide and protect? Why is today's emerging masculinity movement so compartmentalized? What is the real reason men and masculinity are under scrutiny whereas femininity isn't? What is the deeper significance of fatherhood--and even of leaving a legacy--that many men miss? John celebrates the need for men to be 'dangerous'. Why is that controversial? Men should 'do hard things'...but doesn't that go beyond the need to be physically tough? Do I need to get up at 4:30am every morning because someone else does? Most men haven't been in the military. What can they do to gain at least some of the life advantages men gain there? And last but certainly not least, what does it mean for a man to die well?

Co-Host Nic Long (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/nic) My guest is 2-time USA Olympian Nic Long, who happens to have made his name in the sport that's nearest and dearest to our hearts here at Casa McKay. That's BMX racing, of course...and Nic happens to be my first-ever BMX related guest. So why now, at episode 362? Well, IMAO there is no better example than BMX of an environment where the older, respected experts tend to give so much back to the younger kids. And after a survey I took online, I was thrilled when Nic was voted one of the most influential pros out there in this area. As such, there's absolutely no better man to help cover this all-important topic that has been on my radar screen for a couple of years now. So...when you become a father and have kids, you instinctively give back to them. But we as men tend to have a yearning inside to also give back beyond the four walls of our own homes, especially to the younger generation. After all, every one of us who successfully grew up to be adult men who contribute to society were likely mentored in some way. And the more we remember what it was like to be a kid, the stronger we sense the call of duty and our potential influence on the lives of kids. What exactly do we have to get handled in order to earn the right to be an effective role model to kids? Could it be that this concept is the very earmark of moving from boyhood into mature adulthood? And what's more, could it all be an even more valuable experience to everyone involved if we stop worrying about how inherently impressive we are, get over ourselves and simply jump in and help out? And what if we actually end up getting more out of giving back than even those we give back to? Get in on all the action--including the latest Masterclass For Men--at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Every couple thinks and behaves differently. You've probably thought and behaved differently depending on which woman was your girlfriend at a particular time in history. But for sure there are, well...'standards' that tend to rule any polite, public conversation about how men and women typically are when they're a couple, and what's 'normal'. So then, what IS 'normal'? Is there really such a thing? And if so, is that really what's BEST in a particular relationship...especially for YOU and your significant other? After all, sometimes 'normalcy' is unhappy. What kind of feelings should a couple have for each other? Can initial attraction and 'chemistry' possibly be a bad or dangerous thing, as some so-called experts say? On the other hand, is there any merit to the idea of 'learning to love each other'? And how do 'normal' couples behave? Is it healthy to 'fight', as some dating coaches have suggested? Or should you always be 'shiny and happy' instead? Surely, there has to be some middle ground, right? And what about jealousy...how much of that is 'normal'? Is total equality between men and women the new norm for most couples? And what about sex? Does any idea of what's 'normal' go completely out the window behind closed doors...or are most of us actually a lot more normal than we think we are?

Co-Host Justin Stenstrom (http://mountaintoppodcast.com/elitelife) It's absolutely true that men don't worry about aging, nor do we care how we look nearly as much as women. But then, we hear from older women about how they're looking for younger men nowadays...all because men their own age are tired, cranky, sick and drink too much. Well, my returning guest is the Elite Man himself, Justin Stenstrom, who nowadays talks more holistically about Elite LIFE in general than simply Elite Manhood. Even though Justin is a bit younger than I am, he had already been getting weird symptoms and scary health warnings...all without even knowing where they were coming from. And here's the thing. Once we as men start down that path of apathy toward our health, we have less energy and get more depressed. As you may already know, that leads to a vortex of physical and psychological destruction that often leads to an early grave. And yet, because we're men, we'll rarely ask for help. We'll also let symptoms get worse and worse before we finally do something about it. So how do we as men stop ourselves from literally dying on this hill of stubbornness against changing that which is killing us? Or are dead-set on living out the fantasy of finding what we love and letting it kill us? Have you visited the website recently?

Co-Host Steve Favis (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/robot) With all the talk about AI nowadays, it's inevitable that our focus turns to the concept of augmenting--or even replacing--relationships with women with relationships with robots. After all, your robot lover will never cheat on you, refuse sex, or be emotionally needy...let alone abusive. There would be no complaining about how much you drink and how much time you spend with your friends video gaming. And as an added bonus, 'she' will even clean your house, do the laundry and make you a sandwich. As much of a MGTOW paradise as this sounds, is this a good thing? Our instincts tell us not, even though the aforementioned benefits seem like an easy-button bonanza. So what's the deal? Are we just resistant to potential change, or should we listen to our instincts? My guest, Steve Favis, not only runs a robotics company, he holds the major US patents for humanoid robots and has already been actively building them for several years now. For starters, he's here to calm fears about 'The Singularity', singing the praises of what robots have to offer...both now and into the future. Obviously, there are tons of applications. But specifically as it all relates to 'fembots', what are the advantages and the disadvantages...including the ones we haven't even thought of yet? And what could be particularly sneaky about the disadvantages, especially with regard to the long-term welfare of mankind? I mean, on one hand not getting the robot pregnant sounds great, but you're not going to have babies with 'her' even if you want to. Or can you? Not to be denied, purely for fun we imagine what robot sex lives might be like post-Singularity. Get up to speed with all the free downloads and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
