Co-Host Merrick Rosenberg (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/flight) My guest, Merrick Rosenberg, is the CEO of Take Flight Learning. He has an interesting take on how our personality traits affect our lives and our relationships with others. For starters, how come we aren't all naturally self-aware enough to know what our inherent strengths and weaknesses are? Discover the insidious ways we become our own worst enemy when we don't have an adequate grasp thereof. What's up with the masculine obsession with proving people wrong when they tell us we can't do something? And worse, why do we tend to be stubborn about doing things our way? What's the difference between determination and stubbornness? Next, we outline the relationship dangers associated with mismanaging one's own personality traits. What is the ironic truth about how our ego tends to actually keep us from maximizing our potential? Are empathy and compassion masculine? Is there such thing as an alpha 'Mr. Nice Guy'? How is it that so many of us end up getting taken advantage of so badly? What are the secrets to knowing how you come off to other people, and how your personality affects others? How do we recognize the expected social response associated with positive personality traits? And importantly...how can we handle people who are struggling with their own negative personality traits? Is being a 'chameleon' personality a good thing? What is indisputably the single worst personality trait anyone can exhibit?

Co-Host Sarrah Rose (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/rose) There's a treat in store for you this time. I've discovered yet another fun, happy-go-lucky female sexpert who is virtually unoffendable. You're going to like her immediately. The topic, however, is indeed a challenging one. Lots of high-achieving men tend to be low-achievers in the bedroom. Yet, almost all of us really do want to be better in bed, and especially at giving the women in our lives the pleasure they deserve. With that in mind, there's nobody better than Sarrah to cover the topic du jour. So how do we as men transform mere sex into true intimacy with women? How has 'hookup culture' influenced our sex lives in general? Did you know that you have four different sexual bodies? Sarrah explains it in detail...and it's a game-changer. If we truly insist on being so left-brained and analytical regarding sex, what's one positive way we can direct that kind of energy? Next comes an eye-opening discussion of one key way we tend to overanalyze sex, which leads to an ironic misunderstanding of what women want and need. I mean, do women even like sex at all? Hint: they're not as different from us as we think...if only we'd have the guts to find out. Are there weird Freudian Oedipal elements to core sexual hangups men encounter? What's up with slut-shaming when women are attempting to reclaim the word 'slut' themselves? What should we do if performance issues keep us from rising to the occasion? How long should foreplay last? And of course, what are those practical steps to being more of a tiger in bed? And wait a minute...how did we get to this point of over-analyzing and over-thinking sex to begin with? All of your sticking points--including sexual ones--are solved in my free book, available for you right now at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE ===

Co-Host Dr. Gleb Tsipursky (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gleb) We welcome back a crowd favorite, none other than the whip smart and laugh-out-loud funny Gleb Tsipursky. Now, despite being way too easy-going for a serious scientist, Gleb specializes in shining the harsh light of reality upon our blind spots. In this show we specifically go over the ways we fool ourselves, shoot ourselves in the foot and otherwise mess up when dating and relating with women. To start with, how does self-motivation affect a two-way relationship in hidden ways? Why do we withhold our true intentions? What's up with women treating sex as a weapon...and is that really different from how men weaponize relationship promises? Why does this type of manipulation often backfire? How does love addiction (or even obsession) pertain to the infamous 'Madonna Whore Complex'? Why shouldn't we just give in to our primal instincts and urges? Wouldn't that be a lot more fun and pleasurable than evolved maturity? Sorry MGTOW guys, but you've got a serious peer-reviewed blind spot...and it even has a scientific name. What about double-standard and one-sided agendas instead of give and take? Discover what the Projection of Causation is...and Gleb's even fancier name for it. Once and for all, find out why being Mr. Nice Guy doesn't work. Do we really have to be a jerk instead? And yes, we were certain not to overlook 'Captain Save-A-Ho', along with the fallacies associated with so-called 'missionary dating'. Why can't you wish someone else into attraction? What really happens psychologically when we try to talk women into being attracted? How can it be that so many humans dismiss plain truth, even when it's staring us in the face? And what about the pattern of excusing a woman's major faults because you don't want to lose her? Why is fearing loss in general a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Co-Host Jan Edwards (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/edwards) Child trafficking an uncomfortable subject, which is a big part of why it's not talked about enough. But as men, we're responsible to protect those we love and look out for their best interests. That means we can no longer ignore this essential conversation. This is not a problem that happens to 'someone else'. All too often, it occurs close to home, even right under our very noses. The shocking part is it's FAR easier for it to affect your family than you think. You might not even realize it's happening at first. My guest Jan Miller is President of Paving The Way Foundation, and she offers straight talk about what human trafficking really is, the insidious ways traffickers and abusers weasel their way into our children's world, and--of course--what we as men can and should do about it. Listen in as Jan explains how it's not only girls who are sexually abused, and not only men who are the abusers. Moreover, child trafficking isn't necessarily synonymous with sexual assault. How is human trafficking different than human smuggling? Is it possible most victims don't even realize they're victims? How are we being gaslit with regard to acceptance of pedophilic influences and activities? How does society's cognitive bias against believing there are real monsters out there enable the problem? Next, we go over both the online AND offline aspects of how our kids are groomed by traffickers, often with alarming success. Yet, most grooming patterns are predictable and absolutely identifiable, if only we look past the carefully choreographed outward appearance of the aggressor. Meanwhile, it's tricky to stop offenders because trafficking can occur in relatively unlikely places. And what if you find yourself face to face with an organized trafficking cabal that's potentially dangerous? DISCLAIMER: Yes, this has affected my life personally, so I've done my own extensive research...and you'll hear the passion in my voice. https://mountaintoppodcast.com
