    Tristan Yoder teaches cold approach, talking to women in daylight without tactics or games, just genuine conversation and masculine confidence. The old pickup artistry lines got overused, and women started calling them out, so now direct interest works better than playing it cool.

    He breaks down the biggest mistakes: men think they need to be jacked, rich, or have game, when really you just need to not be scared to say hi and genuinely make her feel special instead of generic. Most Americans stay broken at dating because materialism and a limited worldview convince them they need external validation before they deserve women, just go say hi to her.

    E143 - Modern Men Are Soft, Tired & Lost (Here's How To Become Strong Again)

    31/05/2026 | 1 h 45 min

    A generation of men are checking out, living at home, avoiding dating, gaming and scrolling instead of building lives. Connor Beaton breaks down the cultural narrative that's convinced boys they're faulty from birth, how fatherlessness and job market discrimination created the perfect storm, and why suppressing emotions doesn't make you stronger, it makes you fragile. 

    Mike opens up about losing his mum at 11 and how that shaped every relationship since, never processing the grief properly, just getting on with it. Connor explains how unprocessed pain doesn't stay quiet, it sabotages your relationships, your business, your health until you deal with it. 

    The conversation covers why male guides matter more than therapists for men with father wounds, how emotional consistency beats sexual polarity in relationships, and why confronting hardship is how you actually mature instead of staying stunted.

    00:00 Introduction
    01:55 Addressing struggles faced by young men today
    06:32 Cultural perception of masculinity affecting men
    11:53 Gaming and other distractions are hindering ambition
    20:58 Effects of losing a parent on emotional development
    26:26 Processing grief and emotional expression
    30:51 Importance of processing pain for mental health
    38:10 Recognising when professional help is needed
    44:30 Gender of therapist influencing therapeutic outcomes
    50:11 Navigating vulnerability in relationships with women
    56:13 Pushing gender roles and their societal impacts
    1:09:52 Influence of social media on relationship dynamics
    1:25:14 Feminism's impact on modern gender relations
    1:30:08 Misleading influencer messages on masculinity
    1:35:21 Redefining what it means to be an alpha male

    Matt Morsia is back on the show to talk about detaching his bicep, building his dream house, shutting down his energy drink, and why his new book actually tells you what to do instead of just theory.

    Matt explains how his bicep literally came off and now has two anchors making it indestructible, why you get used to dream houses quickly unless guests remind you it's cool, and how Gladiators killed Morphe Energy, minimum orders were 750,000 cans, and he lost all mental capacity and financial desire when BBC came calling. This covers why his new book gives exact training plans instead of theory, how his face ended up on an erotic novel cover, leading to book signings with middle-aged women in New York, and why training should be guided by goals, not gender.

    E140 - Billionaires Brutal Lessons On Wealth, Discipline & Building From Nothing

    Gediminas Ziemelis is Lithuania's wealthiest entrepreneur, who started his first business at 19, and this conversation reveals what separates founders from managers, why treating business like a three-life computer game keeps him motivated, and how being born in a small country forced him to think globally from day one.

    Gediminas explains growing up in the Soviet Union where businessmen were criminals, how poverty and limitation shaped his drive to be rich, and why selling his first company at 27 pushed him toward building something unrepeatable in aviation. The key insight: work-life balance doesn't exist when building something big; your lifestyle becomes the business, and you risk everything while managers sell hours for the highest price with no social life at stake.

    This covers why he has four assistants but stays hands-on daily, how spending money on relationships beats marketing, and why the only thing he fears is losing motivation.
