Gentlemen’ s Guide to Excellence

029 - About Recent Events

This week we talk about intersection of the life philosophy proposed by the book and what I think is ultimately behind why so many people are angry, upset, and feeling despair about their circumstances and their futures that expressed itself in recent violence  in the United States.  To be clear, I intentionally don’t talk about politics in this podcast because it is off topic, but since things got so serious recently in the United States, it got me thinking I should offer a perspective on the subject.  I promise I won’t talk about politics on this podcast normally, but hear me out this time.  I feel there is a lot of overlap between what is behind a lot of the angst in the United States right now and the mindset and philosophy we advance in the book.

028 - Finish Strong!

This episode is another in our morale boost series, which is something we are doing every few weeks to help us all get through the pandemic together in the highest-quality way possible.  It is intended for anyone out there feeling social isolation, loneliness, depression, anyone feeling anxious about the future, suffering unemployment, or worried about yourself, your family, or others.  I am going to share concepts from the book, Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting, that I think might help.  The book, as the title suggests, is focused on meeting women, but the concepts covered in the book have MUCH broader applicability than that, especially in part 1.  Let’s dig in to this a bit because I think a lot of people might benefit from it.

016 - MORALE BOOST #2

Do not crack.  DO NOT START FALLING APART as this pandemic drags on,  Do not break discipline AT ALL, no matter what your circumstances are.  It is November 3rd 2020, and we are 8 months into the COVID-19 pandemic.   Yes, there are still millions of people out there suffering various health, financial, physical and emotional impacts.  Maybe you have family or friends suffering, and you feel for them.  Maybe the person suffering is you.  We ALL miss normality. Yes, there might be a second wave for the next several weeks.  Yes, parts of the world are going back into some form of lockdown again to try to better weather the storm.

Being a ROCK, even in tough and trying times, no matter how long any crisis lasts, is core to our approach and philosophy.  Doing whatever it takes to not just survive, but to thrive, is core to our beliefs.  The people you care about need you more than ever to support them, to be absolutely reliable, and to be a strong positive example.

This pandemic will end soon enough.  Maybe by the end of 2021 things will be much better.   Maybe 2022, I don’t know.  What I do know is that the worst of this won’t last forever.  Not matter HOW LONG it takes, when this mess is over, and you think back over it down the road, you want to be PROUD of how you conducted yourself EVERY DAY OF IT.  You want to be proud of how you acted from start to finish.  You want to be proud of how you held down your job or your business, and how well you treated and showed up and supported your family, friends, coworkers, colleagues, and customers.  You want to be proud of how you were someone that your family and friends, and your neighbors, and your community could count on.  You didn’t complain, or run and hide, or mistreat people around you.  You went HARDER AT what you needed to do EVERY DAY because that is what tough times demand of people like you.  You’re a leader!

You also want to be proud of how you improved yourself during this time, how you advanced toward your goals DESPITE the environment turning bad.  You find ways to thrive no matter what.  And that is part of what I mean in the book and this podcast when I keep talking about how you think, and act, and conduct yourself forms much of the basis for - is the source of -  that natural confidence that you will develop that people, including women, will find SO appealing.  That is the same mindset and approach that makes you such as asset to those around you, and that sets you on a good path toward prosperity.  People are naturally drawn to that type of consistent and effective positivity.

013 - Self-improvement Series: Best Things About Dwayne Johnson

In this episode we explore all the best things about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, looking back over the course of his whole life. We do this to see what we can learn from his example relevant to our topic, and involving personal conduct, relationships, family, and life.

This is another installment in the self-improvement series that we showcase as part of this channel and podcast. Excellence (in all ways) is a vital part of our whole approach to being the best man that you can be. You work on that personal excellence every day, and one of the several outcomes that flow from making that effort is increased confidence. That increased confidence is something you automatically will project in how you walk, how you talk, how you conduct yourself, and how you treat other people. As you do what you need to do to improve every day, little by little and step by step, you will see that will draw people to you. They’ll feel your ever-increasing positive energy. People like having that around them, including the ladies. They’ll feel drawn toward you, and want to be a part of your world.

Episode 002 - A fresh look at the Will Smith/Jada Pinkett Smith/August Alsina controversy, 3 August 2020

In this episode, we take a fresh look at a recent news event involving Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and August Alsina through the lens provided by the book Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting. The Smiths released a video on Facebook to discuss their view of the matter, and help clear the air. I felt there were some valuable lessons to be learned from that interview, both good and some not so good.
