What we’re discussing on today’s podcast, to be honest, is a bit of a thought-terminating cliché – actions speak louder than words. This is a platitude that we hear often and even say ourselves, but usually about other people. It’s a standard we hold others to, but only he who has truly elevated his Alpha really understands what it means to say it of himself. I don’t usually like little kitschy phrases like this, but this one is genuinely a [...]
I’ve talked previously on the show about separating thought from circumstance and how we’ve been pretty much raised to believe that the thoughts we have amount to facts. Well, today we’re going to dive a little deeper and really practice the idea of questioning your thoughts in a way that allows you to see exactly what you’re making your circumstances mean. The point of today’s podcast is to ask yourself, “So what?” When you start to learn how to separate [...]
We’re wrapping up our series of comparisons this week with a big one – manuals versus requests. We’ve covered manuals before, but this episode is going deep into how the Beta condition focuses on manuals, versus the Alpha state, which communicates in the form of requests. This stuff is perfect for relationships of any kind, whether it’s work, romantic, friends, family - truly anything. Out of all aspects of the human experience, relationships are the most misunderstood. As a life [...]
We’re into the third week in our series of comparisons and, guys, this is an insanely important lesson. We’re talking about bullies, the victims of bullies, and vulnerability. This is one of my favorite topics because it opens us up to a whole new way of thinking, especially contrasting this principle to what we’re taught as kids, and what we even tell adults who are “victims.” Both the bully and the victim are actually manifestations of the Beta condition. By [...]
How many times have your expectations let you down, my brother? Really think about it. Maybe you sent a drink to a beautiful woman’s table and she didn’t come talk to you like you expected she would? Maybe you do talk to her, and even buy her another drink, but you still don’t take her home at the end of the night like you were expecting after spending $54 on vodka and cranberry juice? Bummer… right? Wrong! When we set [...]
When it comes to blame versus responsibility, you can probably guess which side of the fight your Alpha is on and which side your Beta prefers. Blame is the easy option to take when things seem like they’re going wrong. We also know that, deep down, blaming everyone and everything around you doesn’t feel great. Everything happens for a reason, and it happens the way it does for a reason. There is no space for blame. If we’re all sitting [...]
Last week, I gave you guys some advice on how to approach the whole concept of meeting women as a single guy. This week, I’ve got something for my guys who are in relationships. Whether you’ve just met or you’ve been married for years, we’ve all got things in mind we’d love our partners to do for us, right? Making requests of your girlfriend is fine, but when you make it mean something emotionally for you when they don’t do [...]
Have you ever experienced this – you and your buddy are sitting in a bar and a girl walks by. One of you says to the other one, “She’s a 10…” I’m sure that sounds like a familiar scenario, especially when you’re in the phase of trying to approach women or looking for a relationship. Well, that seems like a harmless thing to do – sorting the best from the best, right? But what if I told you that this [...]
As you know by now, I’m the guy you come to if you want to elevate your Alpha. And the word “want” is key here, guys. You have to want to do it. By the end of this episode, I guarantee, you will want to elevate your Alpha. Everything that is holding you back from embodying your true Alpha and staying in your Beta condition comes from fear, a place of scarcity. It makes sense on some level to be [...]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been coming at you with some pretty conceptual stuff for you guys to try and digest on an intellectual level. It’s time to apply that knowledge to some recognizable situations. It’s easy to understand this stuff, but analyzing some other people’s Alpha state and Beta conditions will open up a whole new realm in this thinking. Now, I love comics, so I’ll be using two great examples of, admittedly fictional, people who perfectly embody [...]
