Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top Podcast

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  It's pure coincidence that I'm releasing this on election day here in the United States. Trust me, this is completely apolitical (perhaps to the disappointment of some of you). Yes, we're talking about women of course. And in this brief episode I'm blowing the lid off the myths the PUA movement perpetrated about hot babes at clubs, their little black dresses, thei...

Co-Host Jim Wolfe (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wolfe) The term 'propaganda' in and of itself is both sensational and polarizing. Most of us have a definition of it in our heads, but is it truly accurate? And is the political realm really the only place we are subject to it? My returning guest Jim Wolfe and I are both firmly of the opinion that not only dating but also male/female relationships...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As we all noticed, and I've talked about on this show, it's as if everyone let their social muscles atrophy during COVID. But now it's been way too long since the lockdowns ended for anyone who wants to be social to not be out there getting after it. But nevertheless, lots of us as men are still, well...alone. And despite what we may be telling ourselves, we're fla...

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching) Okay, I'm going to admit right up front that Emily and I obviously believe relationships are worth getting into, since we've shared a great one together for almost 19 years. But we also completely get that YOU might not be like US. In this episode we acknowledge all the legit reasons why perfectly good, decent and sane people might just...

==== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Way too many of us as men put way too much pressure on ourselves to be absolutely perfect with women. The irrational fear is that if we mess up even ONCE, women will dump us for some other, apparently more 'perfect' guy. Well, here's the thing. No matter how good you are--even at a world-class level--you're never, ever going to get EVERYTHING right. And yes, women...

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? Af...

=== 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...

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 beneficia...

=== 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...

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 Ch...

=== 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...

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...

=== 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...

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, J...

=== 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...

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 subje...

=== 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 mea...

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...

=== 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...

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 int...

=== 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 everyth...

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...

=== 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 me...

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 a...

=== 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. But lots of guys have reported that the term seems kind of esoteric to them. Well, once an...
