United Statesa year ago - Real talk for men ready to grow
As a dating coach for midlife men, dad, starting over is one of the few podcasts, I consistently recommend to my clients. Ralph speaks directly and compassionately to men who’ve been through heartbreak, divorce, and disconnection, and are finally ready to reclaim their confidence and sense of self.
His episodes with Dr. Robert Glover are especially impactful. I share them with many of my clients who need that exact message and Ralph delivers with honesty, humor, and zero fluff.

Great and very understandable discussion on TRT. I’ve listened to a lot of the podcasts and YouTube videos but this one was really good
Apple Podcasts5Number Two.United States3 years ago - Never listening again
I just listened to your August 4th podcast and I am disgusted. I can’t believe you called this wife and mother a loser. If her husband truly wanted to be a good partner he would help her with their kids (not her kids) and with things she struggles with at their home instead of running to the gym. I’m married with 2 kids and my husband and I both have stressful jobs. Taking care of two young children while dealing with depression and anxiety is no joke and absolutely no reason for you to call thi... more

6’3’’ 205lbs 12%bf, 425lb deadlift, perfect frame control, well over 200k income. Doesn’t matter. DSO is attempting a decent run-around modern women, but you will never, EVER, outcompete reality. Every modern woman is an alpha widow, and if you marry one, she WILL disrespect you and treat you like her inferior. This approach is a fun journey, but nothing will work. Modern women are, all of them, toxic. Divorce them if you’re married. Ignore them if you’re not. DSO assumes modern women will respo... more
