The Chick Whisperer Podcast

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 retur

=== 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.

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

=== 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.

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

=== 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.

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

=== 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.

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 th

=== 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 and for all, in today's episode I'll define it and give specific, practical examples of both taking oneself TOO seriously and taking oneself LESS seriously.

Co-Host Dominic Brightmon (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dom) Let's face it, every time you watch a biopic about a massively successful businessman--like, say, Steve Jobs, Ray Kroc from McDonalds or that guy from Blackberry--they're almost always a real jerk. Most of us as men would love to be massively successful, but do we really have to be a d*ck about it? My returning guest is author and podcaster Dominic Brightmon, and let's just say this conversation is 'game on'. For starters, businessmen aren't the only successful men out there. Does the power of being a jerk--or not--depend on what you actually do for a living, and or what you're trying to accomplish? And by the way, being a ruthless nasty guy isn't the only way to be a d*ck on the road to success, is it? And on the other hand, there's GOT to be a secret to being an effective self-promoter while still being likable and even charismatic, right? How can some (and I mean VERY few) truly arrogant men still pull that off, for example...say, Muhammad Ali?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  You've been hammered with commentary and complaints about 'toxic masculinity' to the point where you're sick of it. After all, if you're NOT that guy, then all the negativity towards us as men can weigh on you. But have you ever stopped to think about how there must be 'toxic femininity' as well? There most certainly is. But since we never hear about it, it can be difficult to visualize just what it would look like. Well, here's a quintessentially perfect example of it...and one that is WAY too common in relationships between men and women nowadays.

Co-Host Monica Irauzqui (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/yampu) My guest Monica Irauzqui is a lifelong world traveler and comes to us from Yampu Tours in California. She has fantastic ideas not only for dudes who feel the need for more adventure in their lives, but also for couples who want to go way beyond the boring, conventional getaway to the beach or the mountains. For starters, she claims the absolute best trip for an adventure-minded couple would be to go on an African safari. She even claims it's a great idea for a honeymoon...just watch out for the black mambas and the night-stalking cape buffalo out there on the Serengeti. Before you even get around to that, however, Monica is also all about helping you plan the most memorable proposal to your future wife ever...and has done it lots of times. Like me, she also firmly believes that a good, solid road trip is a fantastic indicator of whether or not a dating couple is truly compatible with each other or not. Meanwhile, however, can bickering between cou

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  As a man, there's a time to be assertive, stand up for what you believe it, and possibly even fight about it. But nowhere does a man's lack of character in that regard tend to rear its ugly head than on social media. 'Silent tantrums' and 'safe rebellion' are two key examples of how men tend to betray their lack of manliness in this way. What do those concepts mean? They're both oxymorons and therefore sound alike, so how are they related...yet different? Once you know how these two dynamics work, you're sure to NEVER fall into their trap...even when the opening ceremony at The Olympics draws everyone else in.

Co-Host Todd Kashdan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/todd) The term 'insubordination' carries a negative connotation, for sure. But sometimes, it's exactly what's necessary in politics, your social life, your household and even--yes--in the workplace. But even when we truly care about whatever the cause is, we often worry about being at best 'high-maintenance', or at worst other than a 'team player' if and when we challenge the status quo. My returning guest is the author of The Art Of Insubordination, and in this episode we tackle the intricacies of combining bold manhood with our tendency to want to keep the peace. What is the true tradeoff between being a curious, independent thinker and simply keeping your head down? And aren't people who are disrupters like this usually jerks? In situations where we suspect 'groupthink', how do we find the right words and/or the right person to talk to about it? And what's the right approach to take in such scenarios? When should we seek to find a 'co-subordinate' to hel

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  Lately we've been talking about confidence, and rightly so. After all, it's the very prerequisite for any kind of success with women. That all starts with actually having the stones to approach and meet a woman, right? Well, in this episode I'll reveal the EXACT five-word phrase that immediately communicates confidence to women when you approach them. The real magic, however, is that it not only presents a confident first impression, it powerfully instills confidence in HER. And that, gentlemen, is a major key to making her feel safe and confident with you. Add it all up and you have an unbeatable winning combination...all in five words.

Co-Host Nick Shelton (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/introvert) A whole lot of guys who aren't exactly where they want to be with women are introverts by nature. But here's the deal...most of the time they aren't seeing the success they want because they either THINK introverts aren't as good with women, or they've been TOLD introverts aren't good with women. My returning guest Nick Shelton literally wrote the book on this subject, and he and I are all about empowering YOU to have the kind of women you really want in your life. First off, what are the misconceptions about introversion? What if you're an 'ambivert', and your frame is somewhat variable from situation to situation? Why are the new paradigms for not only socializing but workplace environments a very real paradise for introverts? And what about social media? Even though it doesn't involve physically interacting with a big crowd of people, it still seems to be the extroverts who are drawn to it. What's up with that? Can introverts actually be bette

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Obviously, women are attracted to confidence. But how are we supposed to be confident if we're not 'genetically gifted', or otherwise lack some of the stereotypical traits we're told over and over again that women want in a man? I mean, do we even have the right to be confident? For some of us as men, it hits our mindset so hard that we can start believing we shouldn't so much as have the audacity to attempt to approach a woman, let alone expect anything good to come from it. Can you overcome that? If so, HOW? Stay tuned... More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The content in this show is NEVER generated by AI.

Co-Host Young Han (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/girldad) A quick Google search will reveal tons of info on masculinity and attracting women. But fatherhood, not so much. Why don't men talk much about fatherhood, whether we have sons, daughters or both? Well, my guest is none other than the host of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han. Despite the title of both his show and this episode, we end up talking almost as much about fathering sons as daughters...and you'll see why. To kick things off, Young and I consider how men often fear fatherhood...and how if if they don't, they typically want sons. But what is it about fathering daughters that is just as amazing, if in a completely different way? Is it true that daughters are often easier to handle as little kids than sons, but more difficult as teenagers? But wait a minute...what is the unique challenge teenage sons often bring? Can you avoid the widely-reported tipping point where your kids apparently turn on you in their teen years? How do you handle that "awkward

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === If you've ever experienced the specific scenario I describe in this episode, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And yes...there is a certain situation where everything you've ever been taught about 'The Rules Of Dating' go out the window. And with them, all the game playing, all the fear of looking needy or desperate, all the fake 'waiting periods', etc., etc. No more 'three second rules', let alone 'three day rules'. Sound great? It is. But there's a catch...this decidedly happier and more evolved situation is only there for those who truly deserve what they want.
