I’ve been having an issue with one client. We’ll go into that a bit below, but first a little precursor on my coaching so you know the scene. One of the big things I do in my coaching practice is “deep work.” It’s something I pride myself on: long conversations with the client, psychotherapeutical in […]
As many of you know I’m from around Philadelphia. And though I’ve moved onto NYC I return often — it’s still my home. One such return was this past weekend for Super Bowl LII. I was determined not to miss this. Back in 2008 I was living in Philadelphia when the Phillies won the World

Hang around the self-improvement community for even a little and you’ll start to audit your life on an almost unconscious basis. You’ll realize which behaviors are helpful, which are self-destructive, and you’ll think almost incessantly how to cultivate the former and stop the latter. It takes a bit more time to learn this is not

Yesterday I talked a bit on Twitter about an interesting topic for men: sexual shame. I don’t mention sexual shame very often, which is strange really, since it’s a cornerstone piece of the work I do with my coaching clients. But I want to explore it a bit today — not only because it’s a key

Some examples? – Trying to get a girl when the very act of pursuit undermines your frame– Gaming a girl who is not a good fit for your broader relationship goals– Orienting

Hey hey, I’m back. Thanks for waiting around. The last 6-7 weeks have been good for me. A lot of changes inside and out, and I’m finally ready to get back in the writing game. Today I want to talk about the interplay between Personality and Persona. As you know, Personality is your psychological type, psychological health,

Yesterday I put out a little thread on tactics / strategy in the realm of Persona. We’re going to explore this a little deeper now as it involves attraction dynamics.
