ADAM LANE SMITH | Are You Anxious, Avoidant, or Secure?
I’ve spent a lot of time over the past 18 months looking into the various attachment styles of men – anxious, avoidant, and secure. I think we all intuitively know that “secure” is the best place to be, but the question is, “How do we get there?” It’s especially difficult considering our engrained attachment style drives so much of our decision-making process – much of which is subconscious. My guest today is licensed psychotherapist and attachment specialist, Adam Lane Smith. Today, Adam and I discuss building secure, sustainable relationships, why responsibility breeds security and why we subconsciously avoid it, how the chemicals, Oxytocin and Vasopressin, drive our emotional and problem-solving connections, and why every man needs to work on building his “male solution network.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Building secure and sustainable relationships Why responsibility breeds security, and why we subconsciously avoid it How the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin drive our emotional and problem solving connections Why ever man needs to work on building his male solution network The different attachment styles seen in men Modern day dating The 5 clusters that are relied on to create healthy and secure attachment Modern femininity versus masculinity Building emotional intimacy JOIN the Iron Council brotherhood.

MICHAEL GERVAIS | Get Over What Others Think of You
Fear keeps most men from pursuing meaningful and fulfilling opportunities in life – whether romantic, a business start-up, having a hard conversation, asking for a promotion or the sale, etc. But it really isn’t what we think it is – the fear of failure. More often than not, it’s the fear of what others may think about us that keeps us from going after what we desire. My guest is Dr. Michael Gervais, a psychologist who studies mastery and what keeps us from obtaining it. In fact, he has worked with Super Bowl Champions, Olympic Gold Medalists, and some of the most elite performers in the world. Today, we discuss FOPO (fear of people’s opinions), the first rule of mastery, why we care so much about what others think, how we over-index approval as a necessary part of tribe building, and the dangers in being a one-dimensional man. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS What keeps us from obtaining mastery Fear of people’s opinions The first rule of mastery Why we care so much about what others think The dangers in being a one dimensional man Single focused mindfulness and contemplative mindfulness How to be present JOIN the Iron Council brotherhood.
