#3352: The Truth About Dominance
In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about dominance. It connects to what we talked about yesterday having power and influence over others and why not everybody actually wants that. I talk about how dominance works in sports versus how it works in business, and why trying to crush your opponent in business could backfire. Sometimes you need the people you're competing with to still function after the game is over. Let’s get into how to be smart, not just hard.
Show Notes:
[02:13]#1 Dominance is about control, not necessarily aggression.
[10:24]#2 Dominance must be claimed or taken because it is never given.
[15:53]#3 Dominance requires sustained performance.

#3351: Why Most People Can't Be Trusted With Power
In this episode, I’m talking about why most people can’t be trusted with power, not just power over others, but even power over their own lives. We all say we want control and influence, but the truth is, a lot of folks aren’t ready for it. Being powerful requires responsibility, discipline, and the ability to manage yourself, and most people just don’t have that. Today I’m breaking down why that is, and what it really takes to earn and handle power the right way.
Show Notes:
[01:52]#1 Power is a magnifier.
[09:29]#2 One trade off of power is that for the price of having this influence, you are also responsible for the outcomes of those events even.
[20:03]#3 Power is not free.

#3350: The Hidden Flex Of Predictability
In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden flex of being predictable. Back in my hoop days, I spent way more time practicing than playing, and while my drills were full of fancy moves, my game play was simple and repeatable and that’s what worked. Some people said I was “predictable,” like that was a bad thing, but they were missing the point. Predictability, when it’s backed by skill and consistency, is a strength, not a weakness. Today, I’m telling you why doing the same thing well—over and over—can actually make you unstoppable.
Show Notes:
[02:22]#1 Predictability and consistency have a calming effect on both the users and the recipients.
[08:23]#2 The more predictability you have in your life, the easier it is to think long term and plan for
the bigger picture.
[15:07]#3 Predictability frees up your most powerful weapon.

#3349: A Guide To Masculine Movement
In this episode, I’m giving y’all a literal guide to masculine movement—yes, how you physically move and carry your body as a man. This ain’t metaphorical; I’m talking real body language and presence. Ladies, don’t skip this one—listen so you know what to look for in a man or share it with one who needs it. Fellas, this is about the nonverbal signals you’re sending every day, whether you realize it or not. Let’s break down how to carry yourself like a man without saying a word.
Show Notes:
[01:35]#1 Posture equals presence.
[07:37]#2 Control equals power.
[14:54]#3 Stillness equals dominance.

#3348: Why Social Media Will NEVER Be Real Life
Today I’m flipping the script and telling you why social media will never be real life. Yeah, yesterday I broke down how it has become real life for a lot of people but today I’m giving you the other side. I like to argue both angles so you can think for yourself and see where you stand. If you live on your phone more than you talk to real people, this one’s especially for you. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[01:45]#1 Real life in the flesh, human engagement still matters and you still need the skills that come with it.
[06:45]#2 Social media provides a robust platform for people to live out their unlived fantasies through a smartphone and that's pretty much what social media allows people to do.
[16:00]#3 Artificial intelligence and automation are only getting better, which means there are fewer people developing real intelligence, real skills, and real know-how. So the opportunity is in having those skills.

#3347: Why Social Media Has Become Real Life
In this episode, I’m breaking down how social media has literally become real life for a lot of people.

Even if it ain’t true for you, you still need to understand it because it’ll help you make sense of how people think, talk, and act these days. Let’s get into it.

#3346: How Feminism ENDS
Today I’m breaking down how feminism ends and yes, I got a plan for it. I’ve talked about this before, whether it was toxic femininity, feminized men, or how men need to stop being soft. But today, I’m laying out the actual steps to shut feminism down completely. I explain where it came from, why it’s a bad idea, and how we reverse engineer it to end it. If you really want to understand the root of it and how to fix it, this episode is the blueprint.
Show Notes:
[03:09]#1 Men must be willing to tell women to shut the fuck up with no equivocation.
[13:17]#2 Men must carry himself and perform in a way that motivates women to aim for his approval.
[23:48]#3 Bring general masculinity back to society. No more weaponizing feelings.

#3345: Why Today's Men Are (Artificially) Controlled By Sex
Today I'm talking about how men are being artificially controlled by sex. This ain’t about the natural biological drive—we all got that—but about how the modern world, with social media and all these ass models, is using sex to control men in ways our grandparents never dealt with. I break down how this weakens our discipline and how that’s playing a big role in the collapse of Western society. If the men are off, the whole culture goes down. I’ve touched on this in other episodes, but today we’re going deeper.
Show Notes:
[02:38]#1 Life in general used to be relatively hard, especially for a man.
[11:18]#2 Sex is the top selling product of all time, and it is part of the convenient and exploitative package of easily available distraction.
[21:29]#3 Women have jumped into the game head first and men have followed.
