\nDo you ever repress your desires for fear of being judged or rejected?
\nDo you know how to lead powerfully with authenticity in the dating world?
\nAre you turned off (and secretly fascinated) by the pick-up artist world?
\n
\nIn this episode, my guests, Joshua Hathaway and Robert Schwenkler, and I, mine these questions and more to make a meaningful difference in your life.\xa0
\nQuick note:\xa0 Although in this episode we\u2019ll talk largely in the context of men interested in dating, what we explore is absolutely applicable to men (and women, really) who are already in relationships, too. So please consider listening even whether or not you\u2019re currently in the dating phase.
\nI\u2019ve known personally both Joshua and Robert for a number of years now, and I have massive respect for them both.
\nAmongst other worthy endeavors, they\u2019re the co-founders of both the Brotherhood Community and Authentic Dating Secrets, a training program that helps men learn how to date with integrity, authenticity, transparency, honesty, and true generosity \u2026 essentially they\u2019re helping men learn how to connect to their hearts and their balls, and date from that place. In my experience, when a man learns to live connected to both his heart AND his balls (and his brains) well, he creates the most thrilling, most powerful, most rewarding, and most generous experiences … not just for himself, but for ANYONE who\u2019s lucky enough to date him!
\nIn this episode we talk about both the challenges and the rewards of being authentic and vulnerable while dating \u2013 which applies to long-term relationships, too \u2013 as well as the limitations of pick-up artistry, and what may happen when a man begins the shift from dating to actual relationship with someone, and a lot more …
\nAlso, I want to acknowledge that in this episode, we are basically three heterosexual men talking about the challenges and adventures of dating, and we frame most of our conversation in a heterosexual context. So, like with everything I write, record, or produce, please just take what resonates, and discard the rest.
\nThis is a profound episode, so I encourage you to definitely stay tuned for Joshua\u2019s and Robert\u2019s 3 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way.\xa0
\nAlso, they host an epic non-pick-up-artist dating course for men, where you get to work with them directly, called \u201cAuthentic Dating Secrets\u201d \u2026 and if you\u2019re interested in learning with them – and they\u2019re genuinely just good men \u2013 go find their flagship dating program at
