The Great Man Within

#11: Dominick shares his secrets that he's used with clients to reduce their screen time by 30 minutes to 2.5 hours per day. If you're like most people, you don't know the answers to these 3 essential questions: 1. How many times a day do you check your phone? 2. How much time are you spending on your cell phone? 3. What are your heaviest use times per day (morning, afternoon, evening, late night)? Studies show people underestimate how much cell phone screen time they're spending by 50%. In other words, if you think you're spending 1 hour per day, it's likely 2. Dominick was unwittingly spending 4.5 hours per day. The 5 techniques he teaches in this episode got him down to under 2 hours per day. That's 2.5 hours back in his life EVERY SINGLE DAY.

#10: This is Part Two of a two-part series where Dominick shares the lessons learned from 4 years off of porn (and why he's back on the sauce in a healthier, more intentional way). How to create your own temporary porn abstinence experiments, and the benefits you can expect. Dominick and Bryan finish steps 4 and 5 of the "5 stages every man unwittingly goes through in his lifelong relationship with porn. A quick recap of stages 1 through 3 (described in detail in Part One) A deep dive into stages 4 and 5, where only 5% of men will ever venture How to create a powerful, healthy and intentional relationship with their use of porn  

#9: Why did Dominick take a 4 year hiatus from porn, only to go back on the sauce in 2017? How did temporary abstinence from both porn and masturbation influence Dominick's decision to leave a 15 year career in financial services and start his own business? Dominick explains why roughly 50% of the newcomers in his Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings were there for porn addiction. Men: This is a must listen if you want to understand the potential impact porn may be having on not only your sex life...but on the energy you bring to your entire life. Parents: Telling your kids "not to watch porn" is ineffective and irresponsible. This episode will help you understand the effects of trying to hide your children from porn, or creating an environment of guilt/shame when your child comes across it. Dominick and Bryan outline the first 3 of 5 stages a man unwittingly goes through in his lifelong relationship with porn (and why 95% of men will get stuck at stage #3)...and how that may lead to real-life impact to their intimate relationships and drive for life. Bonus clip: Award winning spoken word poet Max Stossel's live 6-minute performance from our Discerning Dick event on Porn on how porn taught him what it meant to be a man, sexually (a universal teenage male's experience).

#8: "Be a man...don't be a p____,"  Masculinity is not something we as men are simply given. It is something we must earn, and then vigilantly maintain over a course of life's actions. The consequence: We unwittingly build an entire life defending micro-threats to our manhood, even when it goes against our own natural desires. The result: We live a life of drift. This episode presents the essential questions for you to ask yourself in order to intentionally define your role as a powerful, intentional man amongst men.   Also in this Episode: The effect of the “don’t be gay” phenomenon How to handle the friend who, when it comes to women, only cares about “did you bang her?” Dominick is confronted by a woman who finds one of his Facebook pictures offensive to women

#7: Why the "unhappiest person in the world" is a 45 year old man, based on global happiness surveys.  Dominick's CEO clients in their 40-50s quietly - and puzzlingly - lose their fire, despite never having more responsibility on their shoulders.  How inner work led both Bryan and Dominick to more fulfillment, more money, better relationships with women.  Bryan comes clean about thinking it was weird - at first - to do personal development with other men.  When being a lone wolf works...and where that reaches its limitations. Emotions are data, and you are data illiterate...and how inner work allows you to read your emotions in a way that leads to faster, simpler more confident decisions. 

#6: Dominick answers your most common - and potent - questions about Part 1 of the Sex Addiction Podcast. Here are the 6 questions: 1. Does being a sex addict mean you just want to have sex all the time? 2. What about all the women? Were they just tools you used to meet your urges? 3. What do your parents think? 4. Is it hard telling your history to new dating partners? 5. When did you realize you had a problem? 6. Are men surprised by how much support you're receiving from women about disclosing this publicly?

#3: Recorded live at The Discerning Dick: Sexual Wisdom For The Modern Man event in New York City at The Assemblage NoMad. The Discerning Dick has been recognized by The New York Times and NPR's All Things Considered for it's unique approach to bringing sexual conversations to mainstream men.  If you are a man who has never inspected his sexual behaviors or desires...listen to this episode. If you are a man who wants to have more and better sex...listen to this episode. If you are a father raising young men, you MUST listen to this episode.  Most men will never do more than a surface level exploration of this (potential) weapon of mass destruction that dangles between your legs.  This leaves you with underwhelming, chaotic or secretive sexual behaviors that don't serve you or your partner.  Learn about the 3 (early childhood) forces that have shaped your lifetime of sexual behaviors, and how to make subtle, powerful and intentional changes to upgrade your sex life immediately. 

#2: If you are a successful man yet feeling internally unsatisfied or underwhelmed, you need to listen to this. If you are a woman who has a man in her life who she cares about, and sees that he is disconnected from happiness, purpose and power, you need to listen to this.  Too many high-performing men are only playing the games in life that they know they can win.  Their B effort yields A payoffs, but deep down inside they know they aren't truly connected to their power.  As a result, they end up publicly decorated and privately confused.  It doesn't have to be this way. In this short 11-minute talk, Dominick shares the ONE STEP a man needs to take on a new journey. A bold journey. A journey women want us - and need us - to take.  Dominick was asked to deliver this speech at a women's conference - TEDxWilmingtonWomen - because of the importance of men doing work on themselves and how that impacts the women in their lives.
