Dr. Marcia Reynolds is someone I should have met years ago. After all, she's one of the OGs in the coaching profession at large, the former president of the very International Coaching Federation itself, and current CEO of the major coaching firm Covisioning. As it turns out, based on her writings, she is the quintessentially perfect guest to address the long-overdue topic of how to be assertive. First of all, what does it even mean to be 'assertive'? Why is it so important in life to be so? Yet at the same time, how come most everybody deeply fears ever having to assert their opinion, let alone their will? Truly, some guys have a hard time being assertive even with the woman in their lives...often wondering silently what she's thinking, yet never actually asking her. Could it be that most of us as men are so afraid of looking like a jerk that we fail to show some chutzpah even when it's absolutely necessary? This is but one of many examples of how lack of assertiveness costs us dearly. We lose out on opportunities to build and strengthen relationships, to gain respect, and even to further our personal influence. What's arguably worse, by not being assertive we're less attractive and less impressive overall, even as we may suppose in the moment we're protecting ourselves from social confrontation or some other form of negative energy. Ultimately, is this all about short-term fear versus forward-thinking courage? All of this and more in this unique and thought provoking episode.

In 1968, Tammy Wynette released probably her most famous single, which caused immediate outrage from the Women's Movement. But Wynette countered by saying 'stand by your man' simply meant accepting one's husband despite his faults. But still, by today's standards the song might evoke even more vitriolic outrage. Yet, a recent Facebook post brought up how men are always taught how to treat a woman, but teaching women how to treat a man would be anachronistic at best, sexist or even patriarchal oppression at worst. So what's up with that? Are women just teaching their daughters how to stay away from men? Do the so-called 'red pill' guys and #MGTOW have a point when they decry the double standard? Well, Emily and I throw all of this on the table, along with the sandwich she just made me (kidding). But there's a lot to talk about here. I mean, obviously both women AND men should stand by each other in a relationship, right? But not everyone deserves what they want here. When does loyalty turn into being a doormat? And what happens when men don't WANT to be 'treated', and just want to be left alone to do stuff themselves? Can't people in relationships just do right by each other, and like it? I mean, if we don't stand together we'll inevitably grow apart...right? Check out all the free goodies and get on my calendar to talk for 25-minutes at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

With me today are the two real-life DEA agents whose work is chronicled in the hit Netflix series Narcos. Steve Murphy and Javier Pena were both assigned by the DEA to work in Medellin, Colombia with the task of taking down Pablo Escobar. They were directly responsible in large part for the ultimate success of that operation. While there, both of these guys did their jobs with the spectre of six-figure bounties on their respective heads. Needless to say, this is one of the most badass accomplishments by any men within the last forty years, for sure. But these days, both Steve and Javier are retired after 38 years of service each, and you won't believe how down-to-earth and easy-going they are. It's like I've always observed, when real men accomplish great things they typically don't act as if they have anything to prove...because they don't. Experiencing how these guys carry themselves and hearing their insane stories is reason enough to tune in to this amazing episode, but the pure gold is mined when the topic du jour is covered in earnest. I brought up a direct quote from the Narcos series: 'Sometimes you gotta do bad things to catch bad people.' I was both amazed and thrilled to find that neither of my guests had ever been asked about that, so you're in for a world exclusive from the quintessential experts on the subject. What do men of character do when good seems to be the enemy of best? How does a man embrace his dark side when there's really no other choice? You'll love the discussion.

David DeAngelo famously said, 'Attraction isn't a choice.' But what then IS it? The first notion that comes to mind is that it has to do with looking good. 'Attractive' is synonymous with 'beautiful' or perhaps 'sexy' for many people. But the true connotation of the word is more, well...magnetic, isn't it? In this episode my co-host Kimberly Holmes and I delve into the intricacies of attraction. As you may have already guessed, there are many facets to it, most of which go way beyond the surface of it all. Indeed, if you want to achieve true connection with a significant someone, it's all about depth rather than superficiality. So what then are those deeper aspects of attraction? How do we recognize them...and explore them? How do we get past swiping on pictures and vapid profile narratives to recognize true potential for real attraction? How do we cultivate it once we find it? And for sure, how can we ourselves be as attractive all-around as we can possibly be? It's a huge, important topic that ironically isn't often discussed with the amount of depth it truly deserves. But this sometimes scientific but always fun and decidedly rambunctious episode changes that once and for all. And by all means, if you're finally ready to enjoy the great benefits of mutual attraction in your life, talk to me free for 25 minutes about how to achieve that with the right woman.

My co-host Shawn Harper was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams and went on to play several years in the NFL and NFL Europe. Since then, he has spent years empowering men to WIN in all areas of life. That's fantastic, after all...just about the worst insult a man can endure is being called a 'loser', right? But here's where it gets super intriguing. Shawn believes there is a massive and very real difference between truly winning and what is commonly referred to as 'success'. And if you're thinking that success is a cleaner, friendlier term because it can exist in an abundance mentality rather than necessarily involving victory at the expense of someone else, you're in for the first of many surprises in this action-packed episode. I'll tell you, after what we've all been through this past year with COVID, wouldn't we all love to see the triumphant return of sweet victory in our lives? Well, Shawn has practical steps. First among those involves the straight-up truth that victims by definition cannot emerge victorious. What happens when we pressure our kids to succeed...or even the opposite, perhaps unwittingly? Meanwhile, what are Shawn's surprising thoughts on 'participation trophies'? Also discover why men love American football so much. And what is the proper mindset with the right woman by your side to win together? One of my favorite raw truths in this show is that each and every one of us has already defied 1,000,000-to-1 odds at least once in our life, so every other potential victory shouldn't intimidate us so much. Let Shawn prove to you without a doubt that you were born to win. Indeed, Shawn's message make you stand up and cheer (but not for the Colts)! Stand up also to claim victory in your life, with that fantastic woman by your side. Talk to me for 25 minutes absolutely free about how to put a plan in place. All that and more is there for you at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
