Co-Host Owen Marcus (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/meld) My first-time guest Owen Marcus is a proponent of Polyvagal Theory, which is about how our body and brain work together to respond to stress, be that everyday annoyances or more significant trauma. It has a huge impact on how we as men carry ourselves physically. So you can easily figure out how understanding this theory and the somatic awareness that comes from it would mak...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's the nightmare scenario. You're out and about, minding you own business...and then BOOM, there she is. Your ex. What do you say? What do you do? Is it useless to try to avoid her? What if she's with another guy...or worse, you're with another girl? Does it matter who broke up with whom? Does it matter if you were on decent terms vs. it being a knock down, drag out dramafest? Well, in this brief ...

Co-Host Amanda Johnson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/amanda) Well, we're finally going there. My first-time guest is a licensed counselor in the traditional sense who also does psychedelic-assisted therapy. She's willing to throw down the truth about how therapy can leave men worse than before they ever went...and how that's a problem. Have you ever been dragged to relationship or even marriage therapy, only to feel singled-out, ...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Check it out...there's a weird mental trick we play on ourselves when we think of "cold approaching" women. It causes us to completely overlook something so obvious, yet so important to achieving success in nearly anything we do in life. And although you wouldn't think to enter into any kind of "performance" such as athletics, singing on stage, etc. without taking this step, I've never even heard it...

Co-Host Clifford Myers (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/myers) My first-time guest and new friend Clifford Myers is more than just a comedian. He's a self-proclaimed "comedy practioner". That means he doesn't just tell jokes, he works with individuals and even large companies to help people use comedy to do better in every aspect of their lives. This makes him the perfect guy to talk about how comedy and humor can help skyrocket our...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Two weeks ago I hypothetically offered to grant you every advantage over me except ONE when it comes to attracting women and relating to them. Well, several of you had a pretty good comeback for that. You hit me with another possible #1 advantage that's not easy to argue with. However, after some deliberation, I'm still reserving the same advantage for myself after all. For sure, the one you suggest...

Co-Host Cyndi Olin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cyndiolin) My long-time friend and erstwhile co-host for Dogs And Cats On Clubhouse is back, this time talking about a topic in one of her newsletters that caught my attention. She started talking about "shape shifters" in the dating world. Now, I realized up front she wasn't talking about "deer ladies" or something out there. This had to be figurative. So I had to have her on the ...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Remember last week I offered you every advantage over me when it comes to attracting women...except ONE. ICYMI, that led to the conclusion that the third pillar of the Big Four traits that universally attract women needed some adjustment. Well, after giving it some serious thought, the truth is times have changed and the NEW third pillar reflects the evolution of society over the past couple of deca...

Co-Host Melissa Schipke (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/pitchafriend) By now, you know I'm on record with my firm belief that dating sites and apps are dead. About a month and a half ago I ran a Masterclass For Men detailing 40 different ways to use your smartphone and computer to meet women in IRL...NONE of which are dating sites and apps. Well, wouldn't you know it? There's a 41st. My new friend and first time guest Melissa Schip...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Let's have some fun today. Years ago, famous copywriter Gary Halbert challenged an entire audience, saying, "You and I are starting hamburger stands. I'll grant you every advantage over me except one, and I'll have a more successful business than yours." Well, since attracting women isn't too far off from marketing in a sense, I'll challenge you the same way. Grant me just ONE advantage over you, an...

Co-Host Frank Kermit (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/franktalks) He's Frank because he has to be. After years and years, I finally have my long-time friend Frank Kermit back on the show. He has always been about straight talk when it comes to women, men, sex, dating and relationships...which is probably why he and I made friends immediately and that friendship has endured. In this long-overdue episode, we talk about the strange ris...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Okay, so first off I'm not about to go off on a rant about how women can't be trusted. Far from it. Instead, this is about human nature in general. There are lots of areas of life where we'll keep allowing ourselves to get lied to rather than facing cognitive dissonance for what it is. Obviously, this can mess things up for us in this life. Nowhere is this phenomenon more dangerous than when it come...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Most men want to find a great girlfriend and live the dream with her. But somehow, in this world of constant media and an overwhelming onslaught of marketing messages, we often let 'shiny objects' distract us. The end result is we end up chasing after dating and relationship goals we actually don't even care about, let alone actually want. In this brief episode, discover the #1 rule to staying focus...

Co-Host Dr. Craig B. Wiener (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wiener) My first time guest, Dr. Craig B. Wiener is a licensed psychologist and best selling author on a variety of topics. Central to today's episode, much of Dr. Wiener's important work has snowballed since he first questioned the growing tendency to make behavioral problems medical disabilities...especially for boys. His groundbreaking work with ADHD shows that the beha...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Many men are doing great in their careers, either ascending the corporate ladder or building a great business. But meanwhile, their success with women isn't quite where they know it deserves to be. Did you know there's an alarming similarity between what causes you to be successful at work AND with women? That's a huge reason why I coach men on BOTH areas of their lives. So this all adds up to the s...

As you might have already imagined, this went in probably every direction you could think of and then some...starting with Emily's thoughts on how men who have cats are p*ssies. Yeah, well...is that always the case? Isn't there such thing as a masculine pet cat? Should men be '...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As you know by now, we're all about agency over victimhood around here. Too many of us as men adopt a poverty mentality when it comes to women, thinking that some other guy who won the proverbial 'genetic lottery' will get all the women instead of us. But ironically, many of us also believe in picking ourselves up by our bootstraps and taking personal responsibility when it comes to our education, o...

Our 'social muscles' have been toned back up into shape, people have rediscovered self-awareness and best of all...women are actually bolder and more fun in certain ways than EVER before.
