"Sometimes I think all I want to find is a mean guy and make him be nice to me. Or maybe a nice guy who's a little bit mean to me. But they're usually too nice too soon, or too mean too long."

~Carrie Fisher

Some say nice guys finish last.  Others say that nice guys are running a different race, and that nice guys are the tortoises in a world where being a hair is a guilty want among all men.  Here is the quandary: if being a nice guy is so good, why are nice guys never nice to themselves?  If you can't give yourself love, how in the world can you give it to someone else?  Maybe… Nice guys, as people sling that slur, aren't so nice after all.  For your consideration...

In this episode, we're talking about what it means to be a "nice guy".  And if you identify as one, we talk about why and how you may want to consider evolving into your true greatness and power, so you can give your light like never before!  Men's Transformational Coach Tim Neal is my guest, and we dissect this idea of the behavioral virus: "Nice Guy Syndrome".  We both talk about our experiences, including personal identifications with it, as well as our experiences in helping other people through this not-so-nice behavioral parasite.

We do talk a lot of testosterone, and there's plenty of gold for women in this discussion, too.  People-pleasing -- a hallmark of being a "nice guy" -- is universal to everyone; and so are the healing techniques we can all employ.  Our goal is for everybody to become more self-actualized and self-empowered.

Leveling up, expanding, and becoming more aware all require us to look in the mirror, and see the darkness within us that may unconsciously be running us.  There is a lot we will not like, and we don't have to.  Once we accept all of that for which we are shamed, then we unleash our ultimate potential, and no one can hold anything over our heads again.  This is how you regain and keep your power.  And what a gift to the world this is, for you to be in your truest and highest power.  Yeah, buddy, let's go!

"I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.'  There is an African saying which is: 'be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.'"

~Maya Angelou

We are all so quick to judge others based on the shortcomings we project onto them, where the reality is that we should be shining that spotlight on ourselves, and into our deepest shadows. When we love ourselves completely, we love others completely, and without expectations. We will even love them enough to let them go if that serves us better. Are you willing to be in that spotlight?

This week in a week devoted to dating, I'm here with Men's Motivation Coach Tawny Loveless, author of the amazing dating and personal development book Red Flags Explained: A No Bullshit Guide to Identifying and Understanding 69 Red Flags in Dating.  She is going to give us all a crash-course on what to look out for while you're seeking out your perfect match. We dive into everything, from what red flags are, why they matter, what they are (and are not), and what YOUR potential red flags might look like. Yes, you have them too.  Aren't you're glad someone is making you aware of these self-development opportunities?

We touch on a lot of factors of why we develop red flags, and how we can see our own flags, and do something about them.  Our own flags may give us a window into our own inner world, personal woundings, and opportunities for growth.

Around here, we always say to fall in love with yourself.  Wouldn't you like to know what your own red flags are so you know what you're getting into?  Let's go!

"Research suggests that people are typically unaware of the reasons why they are doing what they are doing, but when asked for a reason, they readily supply one."

~Daniel Gilbert

Awareness is the gateway to consciousness.  When we live our lives in autopilot, we truly miss out on the meaning of life, and the opportunities to bask in the light we desire.  Bringing consciousness and purpose into how we live is the key to seeing where we need to grow, and appreciate where we are.

I'm joined by Spiritpreneur and Success Coach Samantha Gillis for a very exploratory episode that asks us how we're showing up in every area of our lives.  Samantha and I go deep in our personal experiences of how our past decisions informed us to showing up better for our successes today, and how we evolved to ensure that we keep on our desired paths.  Samantha is an extraordinarily gifted success and mindset coach, and she spins a fantastical tale of how she went from acting and modelling into empowering people like you and me in their everyday lives.  We learn how to flex our "awareness" and "consciousness" muscles, so that we can stay in control of our boats as we sail through life.  This is an episode that you will not want to miss.
