  • Why Are Some Men So Good With Women?

    Why Are Some Men So Good With Women?

    Seduction. Desire. Play.

    Let’s be real—we love to be swept off our feet by a lover.

    There’s nothing like a woman so stunning she stops you in your tracks.

    And sure, we all know true beauty is on the inside, but let’s not pretend we don’t appreciate it when it’s on the outside too.

    Here’s the thing—feminine women feel the same pull.

    Only for them, it’s not about looks.

    They notice:

    ? Strength

    ? Self-confidence

    ? Momentum/Leadership

    That’s what draws her in.

    That’s what keeps her interested.

    And if your Relationship is struggling, it’s time to take a good hard look in the mirror.

    The Hard Truth About Attraction in a Strained Relationship

    It’s easy to let yourself go once you’re married.

    You settle into routines.

    You get comfortable.

    You assume she’ll always be there.

    And then one day… she isn’t.

    Now, let’s be clear—getting a fresh haircut or dropping 20 pounds won’t save your marriage.

    But let’s use some common sense—if you care about your house, you paint it and fix the roof when it leaks.

    Your body, your presence, your energy? Same thing.

    Neglect yourself, and you send a message—you’re not serious about LIVING.

    And if you’re not serious about living, why should she be excited to live it with you?

    This is where most men go wrong.

    They wonder, Why are some men so good with women?—and assume it’s about tricks, gimmicks, or even luck.

    But the truth is much simpler.

    It’s about presence.

    It’s about energy.

    It’s about being a man who lives with purpose rather than looking to others to give him those things.

    The Inside & Outside Game of Seduction

    In the pickup world, they call haircuts, jawlines, and money “Outside Game.”

    It’s what turns heads.

    It can attract women fast, but like a beautiful storefront with nothing inside, if there’s no substance, she’ll walk right out the back door.

    That’s where Inside Game comes in.

    Inside Game is about who you are when it counts:

    ? How you hold yourself when things get tense

    ? Your tone when she pushes back

    ? The way you look at her when she’s in her own storm

    That’s when she feels who you really are.

    And if what she feels isn’t grounded, strong, and certain—she pulls away.

    It’s why some men seem to have natural success with women while others struggle.

    They embody strength and certainty—not to seduce, but as a way of being true to themselves.

    Your Wife Wants to Be Seduced—Even Now

    Yes, even now.

    She wants to be romanced.

    She wants to be wooed.

    She wants to feel something real.

    Because let’s be honest—the daily grind? It’s the exact opposite of seduction.

    Even one of the best pickup artists of all time, stage-named “Mystery,” said married women were his easiest targets.

    Why?

    Because they were starving for attention, excitement, and connection.

    Can you blame them?

    We’re all racing toward the grave.

    How many truly great memories are you going to make before you get there?

    Women seem to be most aware of this.

    She won’t waste her time on a sinking ship.

    And if you’re wondering, Why are some men so good with women?, here’s your answer: They live their PURPOSE from the INSIDE-OUT.

    How You Can Become A Purpose Filled Man

    I know a man is living from the OUTSIDE-In when he:

    ? Complains

    ? Blames others

    ? Seeks validation


    Here’s the truth—when your purpose and mission are clear, you should walk, talk, and behave like a man who loves every damn minute of it.


    And that’s all any woman truly dreams of feeling from her man.


    If you’re ready to do what it takes to bring that energy back—Then let’s talk.

    Stay grounded, brother.

  • Being a Man Who Defies the Odds

    Being a Man Who Defies the Odds

    I get goosebumps and feel instant respect for a man who defies all odds and creates what he wants.

    A man who doesn’t play small.

    A man who looks at the odds stacked against him and moves forward anyway.

    I wasn’t born into wealth.

    No silver spoon.

    No handouts.

    Everything I have—I built with my own two hands.

    At 12 years old, I spent an entire summer busting my ass doing yard work for neighbors until I made my first $100.

    Then I reinvested it—bought better tools, worked faster, and made more.

    By my late 20s, I’d rolled several million through my company.

    And I did it despite the odds:

    ? A recession

    ? Living in a town where most people made $20K a year

    ? My wife’s affair and a brutal divorce

    ? Heavy state taxes and red tape

    ? People criticizing my success, calling me an “evil business owner”

    You know what? Didn’t even matter.

    Because I was too busy doing the work.

    I wasn’t sitting around worrying about whether it was supposed to be possible—I was too busy making it happen.

    2008? One of my best years.

    I didn’t even realize there was a recession until people told me.

    COVID? Another great year.

    While the world locked itself inside, my crews and I were out doing clean-ups for wildfire prevention—even when the state threatened to arrest us.

    A Man Who Defies The Odds Takes Action NOW

    Fear makes you second-guess yourself.

    It convinces you to hesitate when you should be moving.

    But here’s the truth: The right time to act is always NOW.

    I want to introduce you to a client of mine—let’s call him Chuck.

    Chuck is a go-big or-go-home kind of guy.

    Hard worker.

    No excuses.

    He thought he had masculinity figured out.

    He had the truck.

    The military background.

    The paycheck.

    But at home? Different story.

    Over the years, an emotional gap grew between him and his wife.

    Like a lot of us, he was successful everywhere—except in his marriage.

    She started pulling away.

    He figured as long as they still had sex, things were fine.

    She didn’t see it that way.

    Because to a woman, a relationship isn’t worth it unless there’s emotional safety, a heart-to-heart connection, and a man who knows his value—independent of her moods.

    Right before Christmas, she filed for divorce.

    Chuck was wrecked.

    But even through the pain, he made a decision: He was gonna do the work—not just to save his marriage, but to become the man he was always meant to be in his relationships.

    The Light Switch Flipped

    A few sessions in, something clicked.

    I asked him what changed.

    He said:

    “I realized I can accept that my wife no longer loves me… or I can keep wishing it was different and keep suffering.”

    Boom.

    That was it.

    Clarity.

    Clarity about what he’s worth. Clarity about his standards. Clarity about who he gives his value to.

    And once that switch flipped?

    Everything changed.

    Suddenly, he had the power to create an emotional connection with anyone, anytime.

    Now? Women blush when he talks to them—not because he’s running some kind of game, but because they feel seen in a way most men never learn.

    And get this—Chuck lost everything in a matter of weeks. His home, his wife, his dogs, his future plans.

    If that wasn’t enough reason to give up, wildfires hit California.

    Instead of throwing in the towel, he got to work fighting fires with his crew while still pressing forward in his personal development with me.

    What Are You Waiting For?

    Chuck is a man who defies the odds.

    He’s putting in the work while pulling long shifts, rebuilding his life, and starting over from scratch.

    I asked him what he’d tell another man who’s waiting for the right time to act.

    He said: “Life is short, and hard sometimes. So make the decision to be the man you want to be. Be the hero of your own story. Get educated, do the work, and change your life faster than trying to figure it out alone.”

    That, my friend, is the mindset of a man who refuses to be a victim.

    Chuck owns his power now.

    He told me: “The power to be sad or happy is mine, and no one else’s. Anxiety tells you you’re unprepared for what’s happening. The books, the coaching, the work—it gave me the tools to be ready.”

    Phew! That gives me tears.

    Those are the words of a champion.

    He’s walking, head high, through his right of passage to join the ranks of great men.

    A man who defies the odds and takes action is the kind of man I love working with.

    Are you that kind of man?

    If so, we should talk.

    Stay grounded, brother.

  • How To Face Marriage Distress With Confidence

    How To Face Marriage Distress With Confidence

    Feminine women are drawn to confidence like a cat to catnip. This week, one of the men in our Vital Formula To Masculine Confidence Course saw a change in his marriage. His wife, (who had been disagreeable and cold) warmed up! Her change was in response to his new calm/understanding masculine frame. This article provides two key ingredients to be a husband who can face marriage distress with confidence.

    Be A Confident Husband: 2 Key Ingredients

    Love Being A Man

    One thing I’m passionate about is empowering men to take life by the horns and create their dreams.

    Yet, many men quickly lose any sense of confidence when it comes to tension and conflict with their wives.

    One major reason for this is due to BRAIN differences!

    A study at the Brain Science Centre in Minneapolis revealed that female brains can process data 5 times faster than a man’s brain.

    This may be why many men tell us their wives can talk circles around them in an argument and always seem to be 5 steps ahead!

    That’s cool, though.

    Good for her.

    She’s got a gift you don’t have.

    Don’t fight against it.

    Appreciate it…and realize that YOUR brain has a gift of it’s own.

    Your brain likes to process data more slowly…at an even pace in a way that makes logical sense to you.

    The data your brain processes needs to pass through various phases of contemplation in your mind before making conclusions.

    It’s a gift and a strength, brother!

    And it’s THAT gift that might make her feel like you’re not listening to her or just staring at her like a deer in the headlights.

    This is nothing for you to be ashamed of.

    Instead, be AMUSED!

    The path to confidence is about being comfortable with who we are authentically and not trying to live by other people’s standards or abilities.

    There are two key ingredients to face marriage distress with confidence:

    1. Be a confident husband by knowing you’re OK
    2. Be a confident husband by trusting your intentions

    Face Marriage Distress With Confidence Knowing You’re OK

    If our wife is talking circles around us in a discussion, she’s doing what people with her brain are supposed to be doing. 

    She’s OK. 

    We’re OK. 

    Everyone is OK.

    If our logical brain tells us she’s way off base or that she isn’t seeing things clearly, take a breath…Our brain is just doing what it’s supposed to do, everything is still ok. 

    A man who knows deep down that he’s OK can face chaos with confidence. 

    The Vikings were unstoppable in battle because they believed they couldn’t die except on the day the gods had chosen. 

    In other words, they believed they would be OK no matter what. 

    The Vikings had what we call spiritual confidence, and it made them a fearless force to reckon with! 

    Face Marriage Distress With Confidence By Trusting Your Intentions

    How other people decide to interpret us is their choice. 

    Honestly, others can never with 100% certainty know what our intentions are, only we can. 

    When we trust our intentions, we can let go of needing to be right, better, or understood by others. 

    For me personally, If I’m not breaking new ground in areas of location independence, time, or financial freedom, I feel like I’m half-assing life. 

    These are the hills I’m willing to die on. 

    I know that I’m disserving the universe of my most potent version of myself if I don’t pursue these routes because they are what energizes me.

    What do you need to create, face, or apply yourself towards to be an energized, inspired, powerful man? 

    Your intentions are honorable when they align with your standards for creating what energizes you. 

    We can relax in our intentions to be a confident man. 

    How You Can Take A BIG Step Towards Confidence This Week

    Right now, men from all over the globe are learning how to have a masculine frame and how to have standards they value in our Vital Formula To Masculine Confidence Course. 

    Trusting our intentions requires a first step: Knowing our values. 

    When you join the course, Mark & I will teach you how to narrow your values down to a few key components of your energizing masculine frame.

    Your masculine frame will enable you to face marriage distress with confidence by being clear, strong, and sure of yourself.

    If you want something more exclusive than the confidence course, consider personalized 1:1 mentorship.

    Learning my masculine confidence framework in a private setting is the most powerful way to make dramatic changes in your sense of well-being and mojo.

    Book a “Get Grounded Now” consultation to have a meaningful, raw conversation that will get you clear on your next steps.

    Much love brother,
