Man Alive

Have you had experiences where you were “in the flow” — where things were synchronistic, easy, or where your mind expanded beyond right and wrong thinking? If you have, those tastes are powerful and can often lead to a life-long quest to have more of that. If you have not, there is a way to find it, both in your day-to-day and as a larger fundamental shift in consciousness. Today’s Man Alive podcast guest, Oren Harris, is one of the worlds leading experts on "flow," the highly sought after, peak performance state of consciousness known for its inherent ease, power, grace, and next-level performance.    Oren helps high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives tap into the incredible power of flow and intuition to have a profound impact on the planet through the full expression of their souls' gifts. In our conversation we discussed: What flow state is and how to access it more regularly Flow in day to day vs. in the larger evolutionary context Integrating the heart for the high performer What men tend to resist that actually is a doorway into flow How to gain access to greater power than your personality   Connect with Oren Harrishttps://www.orenharris.com/ Connect with Shana James    shanajamescoaching.com/3ways   Curious what you’d need to become a better leader and lover? Take the quiz For Women: Modern dating doesn’t have to be a nightmare for women

Since no one hands you a manual when you're born (or when you're young, or even as you get older), that tells you what life is for, you have to choose for yourself.

If you are struggling with dating, you may be caught in old paradigms, beliefs and habits that stop REAL love from igniting and staying strong over time. Today's Man Alive podcast guest is a brilliant and open-hearted therapist, podcast host, and creator of the Deeper Dating platform -- where people connect with others who are interested in experiencing love and dating in a genuine way.  There are many outdated ideas about love and relationships that cause a lot of pain and struggle in this modern day world. Men often tell me they feel the weight of expectations to look and act certain ways, to try to be who they think women want them to be.   The good news is that times are changing. From dating, all the way to business, authenticity and vulnerability are being welcomed more and more. You no longer have to be the rock, or the "got it all together" man to be respected or admired. You can relax and allow more of your humanity!  In this episode, we discussed: Why your strongest attractions can lead you astray Attractions of deprivation vs inspiration The gift-wound defense matrix and how your biggest wounds reveal your core gifts How attraction ebbs and flows in dating and relationships and what to do about it The 7 skills of deeper dating Ken says, "If we only focus on immediate attraction, we may well end up unhappy.

Today's guest, Connell Barrett, has a mission to help men attract a soulmate while being authentic and confident. He is the founder of Dating Transformation and shows men a new way to date with his new book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t.  We all know dating can be challenging. And as you get older it can become more challenging. Your body may not work the way it used to. You may not know what women are looking for as they get older. Online dating can be confusing and exhausting as you try to present yourself in a way that stands out.   But one of the hardest parts many of my clients talk about is the self-doubt dating tends to bring up. It can make you question yourself and your worth, even if you normally don't.  In this episode, we discussed: Why Nice Guys finish first, not last How you can use a great mindset to attract women, instead of a great line  Focusing on connection rather than conquest  Using courage as the currency to buy you confidence Why you get to be uniquely you, rather than trying to be who you think a woman wants Also, if you haven’t yet registered for next week’s FREE event — the REAL ATTRACTION REBOOT — don’t miss it!   >>Learn more about the Reboot and register here!

After a crazy accident where he drove off a bridge, today's Man Alive Podcast guest was  paralyzed from the waist down. He had such severe nerve pain that he was given a life expectancy of only a few years (similar to Christopher Reeves). Miraculously, while watching a movie in the hospital, his understanding of pain changed and he set out on a quest to relieve his, and others', pain.    Richard Hanbury has experienced more pain than many of us will in a lifetime, but the important part is he did not give up. Amazingly he created a device that allows people to enter into the brain states that long term meditators reach to relieve many types of pain, sometimes even forever!
