Where To Meet Good Women - MTP430

Co-Host Lisa Concepcion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lovequest) My first-time guest today is my new friend Lisa Concepcion of Love Quest Coaching in Sarasota, FL. First of all, yes...she made it through Milton unscathed, which I was glad to hear. But just hours before the hurricane hit, she joined us for a head-on conversation about what's up with women socially nowadays, and WHERE ARE THEY? After all, you guys hammer me constantly for new and effective ways to find women AND meet them, and Lisa is the perfect one to have that all-important conversation with. Right up front, Lisa let's us know she's crystal-clear on how difficult it is for us as men out there, no thanks to what she calls a 'cocktail' of issues and concerns that complicate finding, meeting and being social with MOTOs. Lisa's first suggestion on where to find high-quality women is so obvious, yet so often overlooked, that it'll hit you like a ton of bricks. Next, Lisa shares with us what she tells women she coaches about how and where to find men. This is a massive insight because, after all, all of this works best when men and women end up at the same places at the same times, right? What does it mean to be 'heterophobic'? How did we get the crazy idea that bars and clubs are where to meet women? And what is the exact OPPOSITE place from bars or clubs to meet women...and absolutely amazing? Where do women who see themselves as 'wife-material' go? Can a woman who dresses like a slut on weekends really be a 'good girl' under there? And hey, wait a minute...if decent men and women are designed to be together and it isn't so complicated, why then is it so difficult for us to find each other?

Beaten Down - SFTS37

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  I've talked to many of you who feel as if you have plenty going for you, and by all rights should be meeting and attracting women like crazy. Yet somehow, you're not. In some cases, I've heard stories about how you've read all the books, watched all the videos and maybe even have hired multiple coaches...but the same old, shop-worn dating advice just isn't getting you anywhere. Well, the solution to this frustrating, enigmatic problem might really be a lot more simple than it seems. Simple...but not necessarily easy. It all starts with the basic mindset shift I reveal in this brief podcast, and once that happens your thoughts, words and even your behavior follow...automatically (and almost immediately) making you more irresistibly attractive to woman than ever before.

Humor, Fun And Masculinity - MTP429

Co-Host Scott Grace (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/grace) Using humor in your life is powerful, and it all starts with having a sense of humor...which is different than being funny, right? My guest Scott Grace is not only an author of a book on masculinity, he's been a professional humorist for years. So to get started, why is having a sense of humor and appreciating comedy so much more beneficial to us than we even realize? And what do dolphins have to teach us about life? And why do so many men take themselves so seriously...when we already realize it's no fun to do that? Do we have to be some sort of comedian to pull this humor thing off correctly? What else can you do in the name of humor to make women feel safer and more comfortable with you? Does it make sense for us as masculine men to indeed give levity a chance? Should we give peace (or piece?) a chance while we're at it? Last, and certainly not least, Scott 'graces' us with an impromptu unplugged concert selection, which definitely does not disappoint.

Lose The Zero And Get With The Hero - SFTS36

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You meet a woman and are wildly attracted to her. But she's has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, you're thinking she would be much better off with you than with him. Is it ever okay to try to get them to break up? What signs should you look for from her that things aren't necessarily going so well between the two of them. If and when you DO see those signs, what should you say? What should you do? How can you do the RIGHT thing instead of relying on some weird or even unethical 'boyfriend destroyer game' tactics?

Champion Your Inner Game - MTP428

Co-Host Cary Valentine (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cary) The term 'inner game' has been around for decades, dating at least as far back as Timothy Gallwey's seminal book The Inner Game Of Tennis. But since then, the concept has been applied to much more general areas of life than just tennis. My guest Cary Valentine is a deep thinker on this subject, to the point he's named his organization Champion Your Inner Game. According to Cary, a lot of people take a curious interest in the general idea of improving their inner game, but have a hard time actually defining what it means. Well, to start off, he offers a solid definition, along with the real-world goals that can be reached by focusing on it. Cary would say that the neuroscience of the subconscious is a language. What does he mean by that, and why is it so important to understand? And further, why is getting our inner game under control so hard to do...particularly here in Western 'developed' cultures? What is the simple (but apparently difficult) first step most men need to take in order to get their inner game in order? What inner game steps actually make our outer game better? What was Kobe Bryant's secret to bulletproof inner game? How did Cary set his dreams in motion and make his ambitions happen in a completely different, out-of-the-box way than most? In particular, how did his focus on inner game result in finding a great woman? How can you do the same...practically and realistically? Why does having a scatterbrained inner game prevent us from getting better as a man in just about every way? How did being a student drummer at Berklee College of Music (not unlike Miles Teller's character in Whiplash) practically force Cary to focus on his inner game? And finally...how did Cary later 'bring LA to Hawaii', starting with getting his head together?

"Women's Intuition" - SFTS35

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We've all heard the term 'women's intuition', or 'female intuition' dozens of times. But what does it mean? Well, after listening to this brief episode you'll emerge with a clear understanding of how women's brains tend to function differently from ours as men. But what's more, you'll also discover how to turn that knowledge into more women liking you, wanting more of you, feeling safe with you and...best of all...being sexually attracted to you.

Say Your Name (And Attract Her) - MTP427

Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/name) My guest Dr. Laura Sicola is a TEDx laureate with over 7 million views. As a cognitive linguist and a leadership communication and influence coach, I had big plans to do a show with her on all of the stuff she's a genius at. For starters, she's from Philadelphia, where everyone talks fast...so she KNOWS the importance of, say...slowing down and enunciating, for sure. BUT...as you'll notice when you listen to the episode, all of that got flipped on its ear when we kicked off by talking about how our NAMES relate to dating and attraction. It was such a powerful and unique topic we stayed on it for 50 minutes! After all, even Dale Carnegie himself acknowledged how everyone's favorite words are their own name, and their favorite sound someone saying it. So, how should you actually SAY your name when introducing yourself to people...especially women? And how can you know a woman is attracted simply by how she says your name? What should you do if you meet a woman and instantly forget her name (which we all have)? What is the absolute best way to introduce yourself to a woman so that she'll remember you (and your name)? Next, listen in as Dr. Laura gives you the perfect strategy if you're name is frequently misspelled or mispronounced. Then, what if you're dating a great woman...except you can't stand her name? On that front, what if you can't stand your OWN name...then what? It's a funny, entertaining show with some legitimately original actionable content...enjoy.

"Out Of Your League" - SFTS34

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We almost congratulate 'average' or 'normal' guys who land an exceptionally hot or sexy chick, don't we? And we use terms like 'out of their league' or 'punching above their weight' to describe the situation. How do those guys DO that? Well, what if I told you what's keeping YOU from doing the same is likely all in your head? In this brief episode I give you a full description of the mental trick most of us as men play on ourselves, why we're 'barking up the wrong tree' to begin with, and how to turn the tables on this whole toxic mindset. Wait until you get a load of the dirty little mind trick we play on ourselves. You'll wish you had heard this message YEARS ago.

How To Be Irresistibly Memorable To Women - MTP426

Co-Host James I. Bond (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/brainglue) My new friend James I. Bond might not be a fictional British spy, but he's even better. He's a leading behavior management specialize who has written a powerful book called Brain Glue on, well...how to make your ideas 'sticky' to people. It's all about being memorable immediately and influential over the longer-term. And of course, James absolutely LOVES the topic of how to affect women as such...all with the added bonus of attracting them. What you're going to love right away about how James talks is it's always as pragmatic and actionable as can be. In fact, one of the main premises of being 'sticky' to people is doing away with the masks and speaking your truth...simply and clearly. Another is effective use of humor, as you've probably already imagined. Similarly, quite often being 'nice' is far from the best way to be memorable. Next, how does the term 'redentigration' apply to what James teaches? And how did the 'grandfather of pickup artists' use the concept to write his most famous book? What's the biggest mistake SO many men make that makes women want to FORGET them rather than remember them? How do James' ideas about influencing people to listen to US intersect with Dale Carnegie's famous ideas on the importance of listening to OTHERS instead? And last but certainly not least, what is the absolute BEST way to be irresistibly memorable to EXACTLY the kind of woman you really want?

The Consequences Of Dating Exceptionally Sexy Women - SFTS33

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === How to handle dating an exceptionally beautiful or sexy woman definitely falls under the category of 'high quality problems'. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in that glorious situation, you can't get caught off-guard when the inevitable challenges come your way. In this seven-minute episode I reveal the most likely of such challenges, alone with how to recognize them AND handle them, of course. Hey, having a particularly desirable woman by your side is fantastic in many ways, but it IS going to involve higher maintenance. After this Snippet From The Summit, you'll be ready...and the benefits will always outweigh the annoyances from there.

The Truth About Imposter Syndrome - MTP425

Co-Hosts Anne Dranitsaris and Heather Hilliard (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/caliber) Today we're covering a topic that virtually EVERY man experiences. And weirdly, if EVERY man experiences it, NONE of us have any business experiencing it. I have to be referring to ye olde imposter syndrome, of course. My returning guests Anne and Heather from Canada have literally written the book on the subject and break it down in detail like you've never heard before. So why does every one of us typically think there's something wrong with ourselves that disqualifies us from success? I mean, if not us, then who? This insidious phenomenon rears it ugly head not only when we're approaching and relating to women, but in our careers and social lives as well. So what's up with the rumor that even 'average' women won't settle for anyone less than the perfect man? And how are we supposed to feel when we apply to like three dozen jobs on Indeed or ZipRecruiter that are absolutely perfect for us...but only get crickets in return? I mean, it's easy to believe there really IS something wrong with us under those circumstances, isn't it? What if you actually DO try but indeed fail spectacularly? And also, what if so-called 'rejection' isnt' really about you? Well, according to Anne and Heather, we as humans tend to pathologize situations that are absolutely normal, which has a way of making even relatively small make or break situations feel massive. So where's the balance between humility and utter lack of effective self-concept? And how can we stop giving our power away and reclaim it as we should?

The Good Kind Of "Sexual Threat" - SFTS32

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === The word 'threat' implies evil or dangerous intent, according to the dictionary. So what's up with the term 'sexual threat', as it used to be applied in the context of men's dating and seduction advice? Well, even though it stopped being used so much vis-a-vis the #MeToo movement, etc., there is really no better way to describe the phenomenon it refers to. That means more men than ever are caught completely off guard or even, well...threatened when it happens nowadays. This episode will give you crystal clarity about this exhilarating part of the masculine/feminine dance, allowing you to face it and master it from this day forward...whatever you refer to it as.

Mental Toughness Starts With Physical Toughness - MTP424

Co-Host Kelly Kirk (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kellykirk) Life was rolling along nicely for my guest Kelly Kirk, until it wasn't. A series of family tragedies happened rapid fire, followed by the loss of his dream business. He found himself living in a Smart Car at a highway reststop, which makes even living in a van down by the river sound luxurious by comparison. What's more, even when Kelly met the woman of his dreams she ended up passing away tragically...and suddenly. So how can one even have the audacity to bounce back after hitting rock bottom like that? Well, Kelly happens to have been a bodybuilder for all of his adult life, so he naturally realized he needed to start applying the same discipline to his mental, emotional and spiritual states as he had been to his physical fitness. In this episode, he reveals that no matter how strong we think we are, tough times can strike. How do we get out of that funk and move upward and onward? Well, Kelly's first surprising answer is exactly WHERE you should go first when you've hit rock bottom...even though most people nowadays try to find a solution in the exact opposite direction! And what do we as men in particular typically do once we start experiencing tough times that only speeds up the downward spiral? And finally, as part of his overall method of bouncing back, how did Kelly do the keto diet right, with key tweaks to the popular version?

Why Older Men Get Younger Women - SFTS31

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Classic western movies drop major hints as to why older men get younger women, which is one of many great reasons to watch them. After all, the lessons seamlessly translate to real, modern life. You see, when we're younger, we may THINK we're making all the right moves to attract women, but they're only rolling their eyes at us. And here's the thing...the older men are on to younger men's antics as well. Hey, it's not like anyone's being judgmental, at least per se. In fact, many of us 'grizzled veterans' look back at our younger selves and cringe. If only our younger selves could know what we know now, and act with more masculine maturity without waiting all those years for it to happen. Well, guess what...YOU still have a chance to skip to the head of the line.

The Tribute Cast - MTP423

With the holiday weekend upon us, here's a very special episode I've had planned for quite some time now. Having produced podcasts in the guest interview format since 2006, some of our guests have passed on over the years. This time, we remember David Wygant, Alan Roger Currie, Sean Stephenson, Doc Love and Dr. Mark Goulston; all of whom I've been proud to know. Included is a classic clip from interviews with each respective man, along with some of the fond memories about them I'm able to share. It's all in the name of doing at least my small part to keep their name and their influence alive going forward into the future. Topics are wide-ranging, and include masculine dominance, authenticity, never settling, women's interest levels and how to deal with unreasonable women. The result is a rock-solid listen that's as entertaining as it is informative, and loaded with light moments in celebration of five impactful lives. FYI, each of the full interviews are still available in the full feed of either The Mountain Top / The Chick Whisperer or X & Y On The Fly.

What's Up With "Re-Imagining" Masculinity? - SFTS29

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === For thousands of years nobody ever asked for masculinity to be 're-imagined'. So why now? And what's the purpose in doing so? In this brief episode I throw down why the idea is talked about so much, what the agenda behind it is, and most of all...what YOU should do about it as a man. Far too many of us as men are allowing ourselves to be confused, even when everything about true masculinity and femininity is as crystal clear as it always has been. Don't let the destructive notion of 're-imagining masculinity' gain any traction in your life anymore.

Approaching Women Old School Style - MTP422

Co-Host Gavin Stone (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gavin) My returning guest Gavin Stone from the UK follows up his previous episode about spy secrets to success with women with a casual, fun discussion about what it was like to go out in-field with guys meeting women back in the day. By BITD, we mean the mid-90s or so...before the Seduction Community really happened. What did Gavin happen across during his days getting better with women that brought him massive success...all without the benefit of e-books, online forums and YouTube videos? In particular, what were some of the specific strategies Gavin used which are the 'timeless', and therefore indeed transferable to today's world? How does understanding and reading body language empower any man's approach to women? Interestingly enough, Gavin also helped women get better with men. What were the differences between why women came to him compared to men? And what are his thoughts on meeting women at bars and clubs? Where are the absolute best places to meet women...and always have been? By the way, what's the simple truth about how and why Gavin got good enough with women to have so many people wanting him to teach them how to do it? Next, get Gavin's original take on why 'rejection' happens...and why it often really has nothing to do with you. And how about flirting? Where is that 'magic balance' between coming on too strong and leaving the woman clueless as to whether you're even interested or not?

Obstinance That Leads To Abstinence - SFTS29

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We as men are practically allergic to appearing less than fully informed or competent, aren't we? As such, we tend to stick to what we know and avoid situations where we can get 'alpha'ed' by someone who knows more than we do. But that mindset--and the behavior patterns that stem from it--can lead to a false sense of security. Worse, it can actually keep us from meeting and attracting the kind of women we really want in our lives. In this Snippet From The Summit, I'll show you exactly how to succeed with a woman you've just met, perhaps even right after the guy before you just struck out.

Is That A Dealbreaker? - MTP421

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) In this episode Emily joins me to address the sticky topic of dealbreakers in a relationship. Is having too many dealbreakers--or focusing on them--a dealbreaker in and of itself? You know, the 'don't bother' chick, for example? Is being 'high maintenance' a dealbreaker? And if so, what does that even mean? On the other hand, should not having any dealbreakers be a dealbreaker? Next, we list a full litany of good, solid dealbreakers that just about everyone can agree on. Does a couple have to be truly compatible, even if they're only down for a short-term fling? What if you and your partner differ on what terms like 'fidelity' and 'cheating' actually mean...specfically? How about if a behavioral 'dealbreaker' happens without it ever having been discussed as such previously? Should third-parties have any say in what your dealbreakers are as a couple? And hey, what are some specific example of unreasonable dealbreakers? Can there even be such a thing given the reality of personal preference relative to attraction? What's the case for and against building a list of checkboxes prospective mates must tick? But on the other hand, if we don't bother to even think of what we're looking for, how are we supposed to get it? What's the balance? And with that in mind, why do so many people pretty much run away from ever having to evaluate the potential of the relationship they're entering? And what if one of your dealbreakers automatically eliminates a massive percentage of your potential dating pool? As you can see, there's plenty to talk about surrounding this topic...and we pretty much cover it all.

What Does "Taking Yourself Less Seriously" Even Mean? - SFTS28

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You've heard me talk about the art of 'taking yourself less seriously' quite a bit over the years. Doing so is absolutely mission-critical to gaining respect and admiration from your fellow men, all the while putting women at ease and making sexual attraction FAR more likely.
