The Chick Whisperer Podcast

My co-host for this episode is originally from Moscow and has the accent to match. She's a dating coach for women who recently wrote an article called '5 Ways To Get A Man To Do What You Want'. When I first found the article I was expecting something very different than what it was really about...at least until I saw who the author was. Polina absolutely adores men, and teaches women all over the world how to charm us in a way that makes us want to be their heroes. Listen in as Polina outlines her five secrets for women on how to absolutely mesmerize us as men. Not only will you agree that you'd likely do anything for a woman who knows and practices these secrets, you're going to wonder aloud where the hell they've all been hiding lately. But rest assured...as much as Polina's going to compel you to consider Russian mail-order bride services, that's still a BAD idea in the long run. There are amazing women who 'get it' all over the world, including right there where you live. After all the talk about intrigue

Co-Host Elliott Katz (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/katz) No kidding...my co-host Elliot Katz and I had to work pretty hard to come up with a topic for this show. That's because he and I think so much alike that probably his first half-dozen ideas were quite literally the very cornerstones of everything we've done here at X & Y Communications for a dozen years. But using the previous episode on happiness as a jumping-off point, we decided to talk about happy women...and more specifically, what it takes to MAKE them happy. After all, as the adage goes, 'if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy'. Wait, is that even true? And how come men typically try to do everything they can to make their woman happy, yet she still isn't? What do you do when you do EVERYTHING for her, and she still wants MORE, MORE, MORE? Far too many men willingly emasculate themselves in a relationship, complain about it, and then are surprised when the woman respects them even less. We cover why women 'test' men, and how to make it

My guest co-host has figured out the three cornerstones to happiness...and I think he's on to something significant. We define them up front, followed by ways to look inwardly for happiness despite the pull of external influences and even external energies. Then we explain why the obstacles from the past seem to keep haunting us, and how to finally hurdle over them. Next, we talk about the obvious and not-so-obvious ways our 'advanced' post-modern culture is actually contributing to our personal and collective unhappiness. How can your self-perceived weaknesses actually become touchstones of personal fulfillment and happiness? What happens inside our minds when we compare ourselves to others? Plus, discover the most effective antidote to destructive envy and jealousy. Next, hear about the almost supernatural connection between love and happiness...even if love doesn't exactly turn out the way you wanted it to. Does speed kill happiness? Get the surprising answer. Find out how happy people deal with adversity.

You'd think after twelve years of running a shop called X & Y Communications I'd have done a show on communication by now. Well, that all changes right now thanks to my new friend and fellow 'old bull on the hill' Robert Manni from The Guy's Guys" Guide To Love. Plan on hearing a dogpile of wisdom we just didn't have in our twenties, including my 'mansplaining' is a thing (and a brilliant response to it), why women want a man who 'listens', and the basic reasons why men and women have been missing each other for thousands of years. We'll also reveal the weird paradox between women who are leaders in their daily lives and the relationships they have with their significant others. We also talk about why women aren't so quick to bring their ideas to the table when talking to men...and it's NOT why you think. Plus, we reveal the truth about women's 'tests', along with how to deal with the new anti-male narrative while living your truth. Why do so many people stay in bad relationships with horrible miscommunic

Co-Host Morten Hake (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/morten) Know this...my main man Morten Hake is back in the saddle again, after having ascended to great heights only to come crashing down before he even realized what happened. So what's his story? How did he find his way back after hitting such a low point? Well, in this episode he spills all the secrets, starting with a brilliant tactic he learned from one of his closest mentors. He also reveals the subtle but dangerous traps he fell into that caused him to squander his early success. Then we talk about why we run away from our own truth, the keys to feeling more ALIVE and passionate, and what finally caused Morten to stop running from failure and face it head-on. We also cover the weird 'on again, off again' dynamic on Facebook that few people ever notice, plus the insidious enemies to resilience and reaching our personal potential. Then we discuss how to dig out from under shame and doubt, and the specific ways Morten has bounced back...including his

Co-Host Renee Piane (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/renee) This seems like a superficial, if not downright crass topic for a show, doesn't it? It sounds so, well...transactional. But when you really think about it, it's exactly what everyone who is successful with MOTOS does, just like what everyone who is successful in business does. After all, marketing is really all about promoting one's 'brand' as positive, intriguing and alluring. Simply put, you have to make others want what you've got. My long-time friend Renee Piane has been in the personal marketing business since 1992. In this episode you'll hear about what Renee calls 'Prince Training', which works even if you're not rich, royal and/or classically good looking. You'll also get Renee's Hollywood-insider perspective on why there's such mass hysteria surrounding sexual harassment and assault at this very moment in time. Discover the central most important part of establishing positive vibes with women, along with what's involved in branding yoursel

Over time I've learned--sometimes the hard way--that no matter how cool you are or how cool the stuff you do is, there's always someone who's cooler than you and doing cooler stuff. But one of the great ironies in this life is the sooner you realize that and "get over yourself", suddenly you're infinitely cooler to everyone else...along with all the stuff you do. Given this simple (but not easy) social principle, it follows logically that being an arrogant douchebag, when taken to an extreme, is ultimately one of the loneliest existences imaginable. This is an all-important life lesson that too many of us learn far too late in our adult lives, if we ever learn it at all. That's why I want you to meet Jeff Shapiro. Fair warning: Your first impression of him will likely be that he's a bigger badass than you and I put together. I found out about Jeff because he kept turning up as a "brand ambassador" for some of my favorite adventure gear companies, including Keen and Kavu. And that's no wonder. Dude is not only

What I appreciate about my long-time friend and female dating and relationship coach Suzanne Oshima is how level-headed her advice is. That made her the perfect co-host for this particular episode, where we uncover the ways approaching women and relating to them has evolved over the last decade. Suzanne starts off by offering her take on the top two things women want in a man, then gives her startlingly up-front--and encouraging--take on how most women view the #MeToo movement. We also talk about the definition of what it means to be charming, why average guys often get amazingly sexy women and the effect of swiping and social media. Are you really damned if you do and damned if you don't when it comes to talking to women nowadays? Is the 'Mike Pence Rule' a solid strategy, or is our own faulty self-perception actually getting in the way? Well, get ready...because I eventually drop a bomb on this entire discussion, exposing the truth that's been hiding in plain sight, despite the shroud of politics. With that

How have we gone over ten years without covering this topic? Dating and relationship coach Benjamin Ritter of Live For Yourself Consulting joins me to talk about what cheating is, people who cheat and why they do it. We reveal the huge mistake people make when beginning a relationship that practically dooms them to cheating accusations in the future. I also share the shocking conversation I had with Emily that has cheat-proofed our relationship for nearly 12 years and counting. We talk about whether or not to tell your significant other if and when cheating happens. Does having sex with someone else really have to mean a horrible, cataclysmic end to the relationship? Meanwhile, is distaste for the thought of someone else having sex with your partner simply a social construct...or even a limiting belief? Plus, hilarious observations about how Facebook actually compels people to cheat. Finally, we'll show you how to know if she's been cheating and a genius way to confront her about it. My first all-new program

Okay, here it is... Even though there are more high-profile men being outed as sexual assailants every day, that doesn't necessarily mean YOU'RE a monster simply for being male and attracted to women. Yet more guys than ever before are at a total loss as to how to even TALK to women, let alone express romantic interest. And an even more profound challenge seems to be even finding a woman who still loves, adores and appreciates a real man...especially US. Meanwhile, the greatest tragedy of all is it seems the most significant collateral damage to angry 3rd-wave Feminism has been femininity itself. Well, for this show I'm joined by none other than Relationship Theory host and Quest Nutrition co-founder Lisa Bilyeu, who was genuinely excited to discuss how we as men can find a strong, empowered yet FEMININE woman who is all about honoring your masculinity. If you've found yourself feeling a bit jaded by all the gender politics swirling around in today's world, you'll find Lisa's message--and her whole persona, r

When you think of 'futurism' your first thoughts are probably of Ray Kurzweil, Elon Musk and talk of 'The Singularity'...when machines will become smarter than humans. All that techie stuff is ridiculously cool and all, but have you ever noticed how little speculation there is out there about the future of sex, dating and relationships? Well, after a bit of going back and forth in one of my mastermind groups for relationship coach types, I discovered my friend Jason Silver was pretty much the only guy thinking about these ideas as much as I was. So I invited him on the show for a uniquely mind-blowing discussion about men, women, sexbots, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and much more. We kick it all off by thinking about the relatively near-term future of social media and male/female relationships. But where it all gets completely out of hand is when we start considering the next hundred or two hundred years and beyond. Basically, Jason and I go back and forth rapid-fire trading face-melting

Co-Host Rich Gosse (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/trump) First of all, let's clarify something important: This show is NOT about politics, and this episode is no exception. Rich Gosse is head of the world's largest singles group and the author of The Donald Trump Syndrome: Why Women Choose The Wrong Men To Love. What got my attention most about this guy is he's actually hosting mixer parties in California for women who can't stand Donald Trump. So who are the guys he's inviting? Well, get this... Rich's hypothesis is that women SAY they want a man who's older, taller, richer, better educated and more 'alpha'. But since The Donald represents all of those traits and women still seem to abhor him, why not introduce these ladies to men who are younger, shorter, poorer, less-educated and incredibly shy? If you're like me, you've GOT to be wondering how well these parties have been going. Let's just say Rich swears they're incredibly successful for everyone involved. Does this mean the whole paradigm of what wo

This time I'm joined by a true legend in the world of men's dating advice, none other than Clifford Lee. His claim to fame, of course, is the notorious Cliff's List, which started out as a cornerstone of the 'underground' pickup artist movement back in the early '00s and has evolved with the times to remain one of the top men's portals.  As such, there's no better guy to talk about how men's dating and seduction advice is different nowadays than it used to be. But now that the PUA movement is dead and gone, it's not like men have stopped needing to get better with women. So now what? Can there be another group of men as united in the cause of excellence with women as the Seduction Community was?  The truth is that because of changes in the socio-political climate, more men are looking for 'natural' ways to meet women without 'running game' or anything else that would appear sleazy.  Is that an overreaction, or simply a much-needed mindset correction? How have social media and dating apps contributed to the tr

Lots of couples move in with each other these days, and there are more reasons why than you might think. My special guest Damona Hoffman spends as much time thinking about 'cohabitation psychology' as anyone. After all, she's the resident dating expert on the new FYI Network show A Question Of Love, featuring three couples about to embark on the adventure of living together. We talk about the hurdles couples have to overcome, the three discussions that MUST take place before moving in together and our three best keys to living with a significant other without tearing each other apart. Does the sex get better...or worse? What about cross-cultural misunderstandings and misguided expectations? Should you sign a 'pre-hab'? On top of all else, we rant about how smartphones and online dating have changed people's expectations and brought about unexpected relationship challenges. If you haven't yet joined the new Mountain Top Summit Facebook group, it has over 300 members and is rockin'. Come join the discussion wit

Co-Host Chris Hammond (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/dream) People talk about making their dreams come true all the time. But what if your dreams WERE truth? My co-host for this episode is Sydney's own Chris Hammond, the Chief Lucidity Officer at World Of Lucid Dreaming. You sleep up to a third of your life, so why not make the most of it? Lucid dreaming is a learned skill that allows your conscious mind to take over your dreamscape...without waking up. If you've already done it before, you know it's not only freaking EPIC, it leaves you challenging your very perspective on what 'reality' actually means. After all, your mind manufactures both your internal perceptions and your complete external reality on the fly...even including original works of art and music in the mix.  Chris and I dare to talk about the most insanely bizarre aspects of lucid dreaming including time travel, superhuman skills, putting your unconscious mind into 'auto' mode so you can compete against it and yes...how to call any woman i

How is it that we can wax our car, tune race engines to perfection, make sure our guitars stay immaculate and keep the dust off of our trophies...yet we don't give a rip about our own health most of the time? My co-host Jed Diamond from Men Alive has been wondering aloud about that for the last forty years. Jed is a long-time advocate for men's health, true masculinity, strong character and functional male/female relationships. What's more, he's a hell of a great guy. In this episode we explore why so many of us seem so hell-bent on finding what we love and letting it kill us. Discover all the warning signs that you're letting your health slip, including the ones that the women we love issue to us. What is 'Irritable Male Syndrome' and how do you keep it from happening to you? How can you take back control of your health today, living a longer, happier and more masculine life? You can also look forward to my epic closing rant on doctors and health care...one I've had pent up for YEARS now, just looking for th

One of the biggest fears most guys have is being boring...especially to the very women they're trying to attract. But let's face it, it's hard to make every conversation stimulating, let alone every date night the biggest adventure ever. The pressure to keep her interested can be crushing...and we haven't even gotten to the part where you're in a long-term relationship and trying to keep things fresh and exciting. Well, my co-host is the always-effervescent Jessica J, who you know from Playboy Radio. Jessica's freewheeling, happy-go-lucky personality makes for a hilarious and shocking episode that hits the ground running and only gains momentum from there. Oh, and she's one of the least boring people you'll ever meet, which makes her perfect for the job at hand. Given that easily-offended people are boring, and being 'Mr. Nice Guy' so as to not offend them is even more so, we somehow talk about politically-incorrect Warner Brothers cartoons, our shared penchant for streaking in the middle of the night, Jessic

Emotions are at a fever pitch regarding the state of male/female relationships nowadays. We as men are told our masculinity is 'toxic', even as the very women who say so seem to claim masculine traits for themselves. Worse, guys are finding themselves in bad situations with virtually zero recourse...and not even a chance to defend themselves. Well, my co-host for this episode is Linda Gross, a female men's rights advocate who is about to fry your circuits. Why are men so trivialized in the family law system? Can women really cry 'rape'...even with consent? Are good, well-meaning women truly just as damaged by the current state of affairs as men, whether they even realize it or not? Get thought-provoking answers to all those questions and more. Plus, receive golden advice from both Linda and me on how to make sure you're never accused of rape...which goes WAY beyond the obvious. What can good men of character like us do to make a stand for men in today's world? Stand up and cheer when you hear my final take on

The idea of 'radical transformation' appeals to nearly everyone. Most of us would love to be the best version of our most authentic self. But what do you do if you don't even know what you want...or who you even are? My co-host this time is serial entrepreneur and former ESPN SportsCenter host James Swanwick, who has done more thinking AND acting on this topic than most. Among the deep, life-changing questions we tackle in this episode are: Do we recognize when we're the ones causing ourselves problems, purely because of the bad habits we've let creep in over time? What if you know you a certain habit is killing you, yet you somehow can't find the will power to stop? Is the status quo really 'safer' than the risks you take by making changes to your life? You'll discover weird but powerful ways to live your passion and achieve wild success without burning out like a workaholic. Why the part of your life most people treat as a 'throwaway'--or even a total waste--might be the most strategic time you spend in you

Forget the stereotypes about hypnosis that you may have heard along the way. Clovis Colley is a well-known hypnotherapist who specializes in helping people gain greater access to their skills and maximize their personal power in areas they haven't even tapped into yet. As you listen to this episode, we'll expose common limiting beliefs that lead to anger and bitterness toward women, profoundly affecting your relationships and interactions with them. The crazy part is that you may have never even considered them before. This goes way beyond what your Dad modeled for you...birth order, high intelligence, parental over-protection, even the bombardment of media and the public opinions of virtually everyone via social media. Clovis can eliminate such limiting beliefs and install charismatic and magnetic new positive ones very quickly. As an added bonus, be sure to listen closely from 23:44 through 26:23 for my secrets to why men with a higher view of women tend to have better relationships with them for reasons th
