Co-Host Sarrah Rose (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sarrah) Many men think women don't like sex, yet they also believe it when they're told women will leave them because of BAD sex. It seems the best defense against confronting this confusion is to simply rock your woman's world in the bedroom. My friend and queen of Tantric Activation, Sarrah Rose, returns...as proof positive women can have a luridly explicit conversation about sex without batting an eyelash. First, to establish 'street cred', Sarrah acknowledges the kind of sex that keeps MEN around. Stay tuned for the ensuing secrets to a great blowjob by a woman. But seriously, how often do women end relationships because of bad sex? As it turns out, there's often a BIG difference between how men and women define that. Ironically, most men think they're good at sex, while according to women they're not. Find out why porn serves as a completely inadequate lesson on how to have great sex...and it's not for any of the reasons you've heard before. Meanwhile, discover the secrets to doe-eyed, sexually addicted women in your life. It will be as if a veil has been lifted...no more self-protective 'good girl' pretenses. And yes, Sarrah offers plenty of first-hand evidence for her claims. Stay tuned for how it's amazing to watch women lose regard for how sexy they are and what a prize they are. I mean, why will women withstand even bad relationship patterns to keep the good sex going (not unlike men, to be honest)? Fair warning: Sarrah and I disagree more than the usual amount on several ideas in this episode. See what you think. Get on my calendar to talk about YOUR success with women.

Co-Host Dr. Joshua Estrin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/estrin) As political dogma fast becomes new paradigm for religion in this culture, the more power the masses are willing to cede to the legal and judicial systems. But 'true faith' in government comes at what cost to our freedom...especially in our sex lives? Well, this episode is basically about what can only be called 'sexual libertarianism'. The bigger picture, however, is all about losing fear-based mindsets and thinking for oneself. And just to throw a wrench in the works, my guest Dr. Josh Estrin is an openly gay man. Although that's unusual (but not unprecedented) for this show, prepare to be amazed by how little the nature of our respective sex lives really matters relative to the importance of keeping government OUT. The resulting conversation will go down as exactly the kind of honest AND positive one gay and straight people need to have more of. Sure, we talk about why abortion isn't necessarily a religious argument, how 'choice' should apply to fathers, why marriage has a different definition to the government, and the battle for parental rights. But could it be true that when people just want to be right while vilifying 'the other side', everybody loses...except those in power? You'll even hear Josh talk about how there's divisive political opinion even within the LGBTQIA community that's kept under wraps from the public eye. Leaving nothing on the table makes for fascinating conversation. But it's the sheer revelation of common sense and the refreshingly civil discourse that will make you stay to the very end. Isn't it time to take charge of your own success with women? Talk to me for free and let's put a plan of action together. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Cole Rodgers (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cole) So many of us as men complain about our WAGs, and guess what? Our women end up remaining exactly like what they keep complaining about. What if it's possible WE have something to do with that? My guest Cole Rodgers the the author of School Of Man: The Man's Guide To Living, Loving and Legacy, and he's all about men and women being better together than apart. After all, isn't that how it should be? We kick the show off by acknowledging two keys to happiness in this life. Without them, the rest of this conversation is all for naught. Next, what are the exact ways post-modernity has allegedly made our lives 'better', but at the devastating cost of really feeling ALIVE...especially in relationships with the women we love? The first step to really maximizing partnership with a great woman should be obvious to us as men, but unfortunately it often isn't. Cole reveals it. What is the undeniable link between today's 'convenience culture' and realization of the importance of freedom? What is the hardest hurdle for men to clear when it comes to really growing as a couple? How can we defeat the post-modern 'me first' mentality and truly experience the depth of maximizing our relationship with the woman in our life? How does quality time spent together directly contribute to mutual betterment? Indeed, what is the TRUE secret of wanting to be a better man for her, and her wanting to be a better woman for you? And why is it virtually impossible to model manhood for your children effectively until you get this right?

Co-Host Kim Ades (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/frameofmind) What is 'resilience', anyway? That word has been coming up more than ever before lately. Well, it's a bit of a specialty for Toronto's own Kim Ades, head of Frame of Mind Coaching and my guest for this episode. What have the last two pandemic years taught us about being resilient? Why do certain people thrive even after immense personal trauma or tragedy, while others wilt even in the face of relatively lightweight challenges? What is the difference between these victims versus the victors? What's up with the new apparent push in society to embrace victimhood, if not flat-out celebrate it? Is that really helping anyone? Are people who troll political Twitter looking for fights MORE resilient than the rest of us...or is that an illusion? Next, stay tuned for the unfortunate buzzword that when used almost always indicates profound lack of resilience. Do 'first world problems' rob us of our resilience? What keeps talented and driven individuals from reaching their goals? What is 'emotional resilience', and how we can leverage it? Next, find out why Kim does NOT recommend finding a work/life balance. Then, discover the shocking reasons why Kim isn’t a fan of empathy. It's masterclass time again.

Co-Host Laurie Singer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/laurie) My guest Laurie Singer is a board-certified therapist who specializes in applied behavioral analysis. She literally wrote the book on obsessions and fetishes, which makes her the perfect guest for this long-overdue topic. According to Laurie, you have to learn to LIVE with your fetishes and obsessions. But wait a minute...doesn't that depend on whether they're socially acceptable and not harmful to others? So what IS a fetish, anyway? How is it different from an obsession? And is it necessarily an abnormality that needs to be fixed? Is it fair to ask men who prefer a certain kind of woman if they're fetishizing them? For example, is men having an 'Asian fetish' really a thing? Is it weird to think women's feet are sexy? What are some other feminine physical features we might think strange to find sexy, yet many more men do than we think? Not to be outdone, Laurie shares some truly unique stories about real-life cases she's encountered. And hey, what about our friends the 'spankies'? Stay tuned for the 'acid test' as to whether your sexual proclivities are truly too weird or not. Finally, as a bonus, discover the true depth to why it's important to talk to your sons about women, dating and sex.

Co-Host Dr. Joan Rosenberg (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/joan) We as men play all sorts of mental tricks on ourselves when our confidence level is down. That's truly a new and powerful take on the somewhat shop-worn topic of confidence, thanks to my guest Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Confidence and resiliency, she has found, has everything to do with your ability to handle unpleasant emotions. First off, discover how the 'Rosenberg Reset' can get you focused and immediately more confident in just 90 seconds. Next, Dr. Joan reveals how we distract or disconnect from feelings rather than allowing ourselves to feel them...resulting in a hit to our confidence every time. What are the 8 'confidence keys'? And what's up with the human tendency to 'layer feelings' as either an emotional distraction or a protection mechanism? How do we trick ourselves into 'transmuting' our feelings when we're not feeling all that confident? Why is it so many of us as men not only don't take criticism well, we don't take compliments well either? How can we tell when it's actually time to take criticism to heart rather than categorically passing it off as a personal attack? Why do men and women both seem to dislike getting feedback from the opposite gender...at all? Finally, listen in as Dr. Joan describes how anxiety and addictions basically cheap 'workarounds' for lack of confidence. After listening to this episode, you're guaranteed to emerge with brand new perspectives on confidence that will have a real, positive impact. I also guarantee that I am the last coach you'll ever need to stand by you in getting the right woman into your life.

Co-Host Dr. Judson Brandeis (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/judson) One thing we've never done in over 300 episodes is get a medical doctor's take on sexual attractiveness to women. So it was on that premise that we opened this episode, but it ended up being much more than that. My guest Dr. Judson Brandeis proceeded to reveal a myriad of ways we as men can reach peak sexual performance, literally becoming better sexual athletes. After a brief discussion of how to have more sexual stamina downstairs, we turned our attention to how your diet and alcohol consumption affect matters. If we shouldn't eat carbs, and we shouldn't load up on cholesterol...what's left to eat? Next, what are the primal elements of sexual attraction relative to our overall health? Why are modern-day men so bad at keeping our testosterone levels up? What's up with us as men being so complacent about exactly those elements of personal health that make us sexually attractive? How does the media assault on "toxic masculinity" trick us psychologically into being less attractive physically? What tangible results can we expect when we get our health in order? How exactly are we more attractive to women? What are the two most underrated areas of focus when it comes to peak physical health and sexual performance? Lest we overlook that all health isn't necessarily physical, how do we as men neglect our mental health...to the detriment of our attractiveness to women? And how about this for a question...what can we do as men to influence and encourage the woman in our life to maintain her sexual attractiveness and sexual athleticism?

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 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'?

Co-Host Tommy Breedlove (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/legendary) Without rites of passage, we aren't as well-equipped to face the reality of adult life. This used to be a foregone conclusion in cultures all over the world, for both men and women. There was a clear rite of passage from childhood into adulthood. But such has become purely symbolic in Western culture, if not rendered completely irrelevant. What happened to rites of passage? And more importantly, WHY did they all but disappear? And what has the impact been on our lives? My guest is bestselling author Tommy Breedlove. He is not only returning for his third appearance on this show, he's an erstwhile member of the board for the Rites of Passage Council. We have bar mitzvahs, graduations and weddings...but why do those ceremonial rites of passage fall short of really turning boys into men? Indeed, elaborate and far more intimidating ones are still a big part of cultures like the Maasai. What are rites of passage meant to teach us...and how are they still relevant in today's world? Is fatherlessness part of the problem? Expectation of a university degree, delayed marriage and generally prolonged adolescence is a 20th century development...how has that messed up taking on adult responsibility? Whatever the societal trends, the end result is there are WAY too many 'man boys' in today's world. Is an unsung value of military service that nobody has ever emerged from it still a little boy? A particularly troubling issue occurs when men who don't leave their parents house by the end of adolescence. And what about other rite of passage...from childhood to adulthood, student to workforce, single to married, and especially from adult to elderhood? And isn't it a travesty that the next time we see some of our family is at their funerals...after they're dead. Tune into the latest Masterclass For Men on respect at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Hosts Dr. Michael and Dr. Barbara Grossman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/grossman) You've probably heard that those who are in a long-term relationship live longer. Well, my guests are specialists in that area. In this episode, they reveal exactly what we can and should do to make sure that happens. Can you believe there was an 80 year study to find out the truth behind this? What are the baseline rules for making sure you're in the right relationship with the right woman to promote longevity? What if we're already in a relationship that is likely the opposite of that? Even though the premise of this episode isn't completely gender-specific, why is it especially pertinent to men?How do maturity and responsibility intersect with all of this? As we go through different life stages during a relationship, how does the dynamic change that keeps us thriving over the long haul? What is the medical science perspective on all of that? How do menopause--and yes andropause--affect the power of our relationship to increase our overall longevity? You know testosterone levels were going to come up in a conversation like this. What does Dr. Michael have to say about that? What are Dr. Barbara's ways to 'socially engineer' your relationship right now to propel you to a long, happy and healthy life ahead? How does the frequency of sexual activity affect longevity, especially for us as men? Who lives longer, parents or childless couples? And...the most tantalizing question of all: Generally, we do our best to be healthy and look good during our dating days, and yet even though the stereotype is we 'let ourselves go' after marriage, why is it 'old married couples' STILL tend to live longer? Ready for that once-in-a-lifetime relationship that isn't going to kill you? Then perhaps it's time to get on the phone with me for 25 minutes to put a plan together. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Julian Hayes II (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/julian) Remember that old John Cougar Mellencamp song that says, 'Oh yeah, life goes on...long after the thrill of living is gone'? Yeah well, I never liked that song. Now on the other hand, the saying, 'Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt'? That I like. Hence this episode with my new friend Julian Hayes II from The Art Of Fitness And Life. Julian is an erstwhile medical student who is now on a mission to declare the ART of a long, healthy, fulfilling life rather than simply the science behind it. In this episode, we focus on how to be active and enthusiastic well into maturity instead of being that cranky 'get off my lawn' guy. Listen in as he reveals how the root causes of most health issues--and even most dating and relationship issues--are LIFE issues. How is aging better tied to not just the left-brained aspects of health, but possibly the right-brained ones as well? What is 'healthy narcissism', is it really a thing, and can it actually make you live longer? Does the 'deferred life plan' really pay off? How did we all get talked into believing the stereotypes about older folks? How is it we tend to lose enthusiasm for life, living in 'greyscale' instead of full color...perhaps even literally? What is the relationship between community--either real or imagined--and avoiding premature aging? And what about meaning and purpose? Is lack thereof why so many people get sick and die so shortly after 'retirement'? Finally, Julian talks about a certain self-destructive tendency that comes with getting older, but perhaps ironically only tends to accelerate the process. So while it may be a myth that 'old guys rule', aging healthfully and gracefully doesn't have to be. Discover this month's Masterclass topic and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Dr. Mark Goulston (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kindness) Nobody I know walks his talk better than my returning guest, Dr. Mark Goulston. What makes that particularly amazing is he is a world-class expert in conflict resolution and the inventor of the aptly named 'surgical empathy'. In this episode, Mark and I tackle the fascinating trend proliferating pro-masculinity circles of embracing 'toxic masculinity' rather than fighting it. Often, what comes with that argument is the weird assertion that kindness is not manly...and worse, that women find it straight-up unattractive. But here's the thing, isn't being kind different than being the dreaded 'Mr. Nice Guy'? What if our concept of kindness is indeed screwed up to begin with? Listen to the pure wisdom of Mark's five steps to being assertive without being a knucklehead. Thrill to his simple equation for channeling aggression properly. Prepare to be blown away by his radically simple way to get the best of bullies without losing your cool. Best of all, experience a live demo of how to be pretty much the opposite of an arrogant, douchey bull in a china shop...and yes, have women love you for it. Going the extra mile, you'll even be treated to objective examples of how kindness emerges victorious over raw aggression. And yes, compassion is indeed masculine. Indeed, 'nice' guys may finish last, but kind men win. I have to tell you, this is one of my favorite episodes ever...an instant classic. My solemn guarantee is you will be confronted (however kindly) with a breathtaking challenge not only to your concept of attractive masculinity, but to your sense of what brand of masculinity you find respectable and even admirable.

Co-Host Benjamin Bequer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/beqoming) Several years ago my guest Benjamin Bequer seemed like he had it all together, at least on the outside. But underneath was perpetual insecurity and anxiety, as is the case for many of us. That all manifested itself in strange ways, with counterintuitive consequences. Not until he discovered Ayahuasca did he start to turn everything around...culminating in the right relationship with the right woman for him. Discover how Benjamin's story feels like a 'conversion experience', yet comes about in a way that's unusual to most in Western culture. So what is Ayahuasca, how did Benjamin discover it, and what transformative meaning did it have for him? What is Ayahuasca's active ingredient, what does it do for you, and what's the shocking connection between it and something miraculous your body does naturally? How does it help give potential clarity to both purpose and relationships? Why is it that fear seems to rule so many people's lives, especially of loneliness? How can rote dogma prohibit us from seeing real truth...even within our own established faith? Why does Benjamin refer to the ego as our 'bodyguard'? How are the Ayahuasca experience and lucid dreaming potentially related? Why is mere confidence perhaps enough to get some women, but not what it takes to attract the right woman for you? And finally, what are Benjamin's secrets to being a masculine, manly dude who somehow can open his heart for the enrichment of those around him? Is this, in fact, the new paradigm for evolved masculinity? Get the right woman in your life, starting with your free call with me personally.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) No matter how well a couple gets along and navigates their relationship, there always seems to be a challenge to your relationship coming from somewhere. For sure, it can start with your best man's TMI speech during the wedding reception. But what about unsolicited advice from miserable friends and relatives who can't even manage their own relationships? Jealous BFFs and sneaky exes? Baby mamas and baby daddies? How about other toxic people in your life you just can't cut out, for whatever reason? Sometimes it's your kids, her kids and even your kids together. How about when there's a member of the other gender who is 'just a friend'? Sometimes you don't even have to be on The Newlywed Game in order to be humiliated in front of way too many people...a simple party game of 'Would You Rather?' can do the trick. What about job-related pressures, or bosses, or when coworkers start interfering with your relationship? Is there ever a time when these people should be allowed to exert influence, or is that a loaded question? What about a job change, especially if that involves a major schedule disruption or even relocation? Is it possible that fictional characters can negatively affect how couples relate to each other? How does that work? What about social media and text disasters? Can media headlines and political opinions seep into a relationship and affect a couple's perception of compatibility? Is there any way to anticipate potential outside influences prior to getting into a relationship, and develop a 'contingency plan' of sorts...or does life simply tend to throw too many unexpected curveballs, despite our best-laid plans? By the way, no...there REALLY isn't a Jen, already. Check out all the free goodies at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Doug Noll (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/noll) My guest today, Doug Noll, is a neuroscience expert. After 22 years as a trial lawyer, he became a peacemaker and mediator. In order to work his craft to the fullest effect, he spends lots of time thinking and writing about social skills. All of this started for Doug when he found himself frustrated by how most writing on Emotional Intelligence was based purely on pop psychology. Seeking a more practical, fluff-free approach, Doug instead focused on the science behind how the brain really works, rather than how people think it works.
