You're listening to Snippets from the Summit with your host Scott McKay.
All right, gentlemen, this is your main man Scott McKay coming at you again with anothersnippet from the summit as part of the mountaintop podcast from X and Y communications.
Hey, today I'm to talk to you about something that happens, you know, really prettyovertly every time I ever do a 10 plus live with one of you guys who comes to visit me
(00:28):
here in San Antonio.
And I've never really talked about it at all and newsletters podcasts or anywherepublicly, but it's definitely.
something very much baked into a 10 plus live experience and for good reason.
Whenever a guy comes here on typically a Thursday afternoon, what happens is we spend sometime getting to know each other.
Then we go out and have a nice dinner where I know the waitresses are going to be verycute and very social and there are no expectations.
(00:57):
There's no pressure, but what we do is we interact with the women there.
Sometimes we interact with the people around us.
We just get to interacting with people and particularly female human beings.
And that makes for a low pressure and fun and enjoyable casual evening.
Because you see, once we wake up the next morning, we're going balls to the wall, meetingwomen all day long.
(01:23):
It's mentally exhausting.
So the truth of the matter is just like in basketball, football, baseball, track andfield,
Even if you're about to sing opera, what do you got to do before you get on stage?
Well, unless you want to be stiff and frankly not ready for what you're about to do, yougot to do a warmup, right?
(01:47):
And as silly as it sounds, probably even cheesy to think of us doing warmups before wetalk to women, it's absolutely necessary.
Now you're not going to do calisthenics.
You're probably not even going to get in front of a mirror and do the Stuart Smalleyroutine where I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and women love me.
Not anything like that.
(02:08):
Not necessarily.
What actually works best is simply, and this is about as elegant as it gets in terms ofsimplicity.
Ready?
Just go talk to people.
Anyone.
I mean, especially female human beings, but once you get a few reps in, just having
simple conversations with whomever you talk to, you're going to find sooner than lateractually.
(02:33):
It just takes a couple minutes, a couple quick interactions.
You're going to be more than ready to have a conversation with a woman you'd like topotentially ask out.
More so than you would have without the warm up time.
So we're certainly not talking about any strenuous exercise or doing jumping jacks orsomething silly like that.
(02:55):
Not even anything as strenuous as say an NBA shoot around before a game.
For example, let's say you're going to the grocery store and you know that women who areparticularly desirable to you shop there.
Well, you would go in there and you would talk to someone who works there and ask themwhere you can find something.
You would make conversation with anyone about anything just to get your lips moving, tofind your words.
(03:18):
And then when you actually go talk to women, you're going to have much greater facilitywith that.
Gentlemen, this warmup process that I'm talking about, however brief and simple as it is,seems almost obvious now that I've put it on the table for you, right?
I mean, we warm up for everything in this life.
You don't even go out for a jog or a bike ride without maybe stretching a little bit firstand et cetera, et cetera.
(03:41):
I mean, your warmup for a bicycle ride might be to check the air pressure and other minormechanical checks like that.
So it only makes perfect sense that when we're gonna go out and potentially meet women andtalk to them,
And yes, attract them that we just don't go into it cold.
As a matter of fact, it's almost as if the phrase cold approach has trained us to think ina completely different direction than even having to warm up at all.
(04:09):
Right?
So if you want to have a warm approach instead of a cold approach, every way that applies,right?
It makes sense to warm up before you talk to anybody.
This isn't cheesy.
This isn't
a time consuming unnecessary step.
It's the same thing you would do for every area of endeavor that involves any kind ofperformance at all.
(04:34):
And don't kid yourself, even though you're not a dancing monkey, you are going to have todo something.
You're going to have to be ready to make a good first impression whenever you talk to awoman.
Gentlemen, as a career coach, I can also tell you that if you want to have a successfulinterview with a hiring manager,
you should probably get on ChatGPT and do a mock interview.
(04:56):
And the more you can tell ChatGPT about who the hiring manager is, the company that you'reinterviewing with, and maybe even give ChatGPT a URL of the actual job rack, you know, a
mock interview is certainly not going to hurt.
You're going to go into that interview with much more confidence than you would havewithout that warmup.
Same principle, whatever we're doing in this life that involves doing something right,
(05:22):
that you're wishing for success at instead of willing to accept failure, whatever it is,it involves a warmup.
And yes, that includes talking to women.
Try it.
Let me know what you think.
Just 30 seconds worth of conversation, a minute or two minutes, even better with whomeveris in front of you, especially female human beings is really going to help you.
(05:43):
Let me know how it works out for you.
