🔥 If you’re so smart, so successful, and so in control… why do your relationships keep blowing up?


📘 Episode Description

In Part 2 of this belief rattling conversation, Tim Ash, bestselling author of Unleash Your Primal Brain, rips the curtain back on the uncomfortable truth that most elite leaders refuse to face:

.

Your rational mind is not in control—your primal brain is. Especially when it comes to love, lust, and long-term relationships.

.

You’ll learn why:

  • Most dating behavior is a neural con—driven by ancient evolutionary imperatives, not conscious choice

  • The same brain that makes you a business killer may be the reason you keep wrecking intimacy

  • Oxytocin, trust, and mate selection are part of a primal system that doesn’t care about your rational goals

  • Monogamy is a biological outlier, and acknowledging that could save your marriage

  • The deeper reason self-control fails, even for high performers

  • Why the illusion of “free will” in love is both liberating and terrifying

.

Tim and Dov dive into how modern relationships are wired to fail unless we reprogram our understanding of human nature. This episode isn’t relationship advice, it’s a long hard look in the mirror.

If you're bold enough to confront the primal forces that shape who and how you love… press play.


🎯 Who This Episode Is For:

  • Visionary leaders, founders, and CEOs who have succeeded in business but struggle in love

  • Anyone brave enough to ask, “Is it really them—or is it my wiring?”

  • High performers willing to rethink everything they’ve been told about dating, marriage, and monogamy


🧠 Episode Aways:

  • The biological truth behind trust and betrayal

  • Why intelligent people make unintelligent romantic choices

  • A neuroscience-backed lens for decoding your own relationship patterns

  • How to stop blaming your partner and start understanding your brain
