    Thank you so much for sharing this podcast. After listening I texted my guy thanking him for ‘putting a pin in it’ and focusing 100% when I talk to him. (He listens laser focused). And a few other things…

    This is part of the note he sent this morning:

    “Oh baby, I just woke up with a big smile on my face, you have no idea how good it feels to have you in my life”

    We’re going to try the ‘lay down together’ to connect between dates.

    Thank you for the multiple EASY buttons.

    Amazing

  • A Podcast for "Real Men"

    Some people believe successful men must be unemotional, macho machines. Some people believe that, to be successful, men have to be soft Mr. Nice Guys. Bryan and Tait have a more realistic, or "real" version of men that is at neither extreme. We need to stand up and fight for our loved ones and what is right, and we need to be confident and assertive and go for what we want. But we also need to be good to people, especially our loved ones, and to try our best to be men of good character and good ... more
