133 - Bold Yet Respectful 23.06.2026 16分

How can you meet a great lady without being creepy or inappropriate in the modern MeToo world? Opportunities in life to connect with that great lady might pass you by if you are too afraid to act or let the world know you are there, or even exist. Being afraid to speak up will likely get you nowhere. Is there a balance that can be struck for well-intentioned guys, for guys with unrivaled integrity? I say yes, and that is central to our approach in the Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting book. The book shows you how to be bold yet respectful. It shows you how to be playful yet impeccably well-behaved throughout the process.Background: Book's website: Gentlemen's Guide to Flirting (available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736798405) and anywhere else you find your favorite books.

081 - Career Advice, Gentlemen’s Guides Style 21.04.2026 18分

Career advice. When I talk to young men graduating college, or men of any age who are trying to change jobs or apply for employment, I am hearing too much entitlement. I am hearing too little confidence and not enough of a grasp of reality when it comes to what it takes to make someone want to hire you, to see your value. “Give me a job" is what I am hearing, especially from younger guys out there. You shouldn’t be thinking “I hope someone will give me a job”. You should approach a job search with the mindset that you need to earn the job. In figuring out your career, or applying for a job, or competing in business, you need show your value. I am going to talk about how to do all of that today.
