This is Wiley, my German Shepard/Collie mix: Last week I brought Wiley with me to Las Vegas. We took a walk down The Strip and countless girls stopped me to pet and adore him. I need to get him cbd for dogs and a t-shirt that says, “I’m Wiley, 8 years old, Shepard/Collie.” I’ve probably answered those damn questions 5,000 times. When it’s a cute girl, I don’t mind as much though. Having a dog is one of the best hacks to meet women. But you already know that... A client in the Leverage Program asked me a question about how to know which "rules" to follow and which to ignore, and … [Read more...]

WTF does confidence even mean? I know I need it, but how do I get it?
If you don't feel confident in your dating life, it says nothing about your character. It's just an indication that you need more practice so you can stack more wins. There's a lot of nonsense out there on what confidence is, or what it takes to develop confidence. Confidence is the thoughts and feelings that result from a series of wins stacked together. It's your expectation of how you'll perform in a given situation, and it's different from self-esteem, which is your overall evaluation of yourself. I was reviewing Mate by Tucker Max yesterday and found a brilliant definition … [Read more...]

The Minimum Effective Dose for day game
Most guys know what it’s like to struggle with conversation skills during a day game approach. How many of these feel familiar? The "I have a boyfriend" response Only getting brief responses Not knowing where to take the conversation ("I run out of things to say") Having boring conversations If you can relate to any of these, it doesn't automatically mean you're doing anything wrong. It comes down to a different problem: having a day game conversation is really fucking difficult. I've had a LOT of day game conversations and I'm really fucking comfortable having them, but they … [Read more...]
The Words Don’t Matter
When you're walking up to a girl and meeting her, your first impression is crucial, but there's one step here that I see a lot of guys mess up. They're so nervous that they forget to use the same social skills they use in all their other interactions. When you're nervous, your intelligence drops. Your fight or flight system gets triggered. You get overly literal and hang onto every word she says. Contrast that to a conversation you have with a close friend or a family member. In these interactions, you're able to read the emotions beneath their words. If you came home and said to your … [Read more...]
You Should Watch Dating Shows
You guys should be watching TONS of dating shows. I've watched almost every episode of Blind Date, Millionaire Matchmaker, Elimidate, Singled Out, etc...reality TV's finest programming. I'm sure I picked up a million how to's, do's and dont's, and pop culture references. If you're not consistently meeting women this is a must do. And guess what, these shows are immensely entertaining so this exercise is easy. While nerds were playing Starcraft, I was watching reality dating shows on my 85 inch tv. Watching dates is one of the best ways to study human psychology. It is politically … [Read more...]
Where You Should Be Meeting Women
It's Friday night and you've got your dancing shoes on, except you don't actually care about dancing tonight- you're single and you are going out to meet women. You and a buddy are trying to decide where to go. "There's a new club that just opened, kinda a hipster scene, but the chicks are hot, bro!" "I'm not into hipster chicks, but whatever...If they're hot, let's go check it out!" you respond. Sound familiar? Places like that are a waste of the limited free time you have! Busy guys quickly forget how much the environment of places we go out to affects our ability to meet … [Read more...]
72: Consumerism
Intro: On this episode, we discuss the effects of our culture being completely co-opted by corporate interests, materialism, and consumerism. It affects your happiness and dating life in surprising ways. Show Notes: [00:20] I want to talk about Consumerism, why it’s a such a huge problem and why it’s the reason a lot of people are unhappy in the West; meaning America, Western Europe, and countries that are leading the way in capitalism.

Embarass Yourself to Overcome Social Anxiety
One of my favorite Inner Confidence exercises is our social freedom exercises. We do things like lie down in a crowded public area, pretend to text on our phones in a crosswalk until the light turns green and we get honked at, and go to Chipotle and ask for free guacamole. Pictured left is Leverage Program moderator, doing a social freedom exercise during this year's EuroTrip in Budapest. The point of these exercises is to embarrass yourself in public and learn to deal with whatever reaction you get. There's actual psychology behind it: the original cognitive-behavioral therapist Albert Ellis … [Read more...]
71: Masculine and Feminine Energy
Show Notes: [00:20] The way of the superior man [00:30] Should choose 150 books and read the over and over during your lifetime. At every time you read a book, you are at a different place in life and see it a different way. [01:12] Follow your excitement. Once you follow your excitement and passion, it is easier to attract who you want in your life- the energy pulls people in. [05:40] Your passion is number one, so do whatever you need to do to find it. Women are super attracted to guys who have a passion, and you should always put your passion before women. [07:20] You can make it … [Read more...]
How to Set Goals: The Pillars of Life
Guest post by James, Leverage Program moderator Sitting in the airport in Buenos Aires, after a weekend of food poisoning and partying, I was feeling pretty miserable waiting for my flight that Sunday evening. I was writing and avoiding my travel friends, just going through my normal weekly routine and trying to prepare for the week to come. Phillip, a guy I met that weekend came over and asked me what I was writing about. I really looked up to Phillip but I hadn’t been able to create the relationship I wanted with him. He was a deep thinker, entrepreneur, in great shape, and charming. I … [Read more...]
70: Group Coaching Call
Intro: Listen in on our group coaching call from clients in the Leverage Program. Show Notes: It's important to consistently check in with your girl in all forms of relationships. More so with open relationships since their are more variables involved. A great game to play that opens the communication is for both of you to rate on a scale of 1-10 how you are doing spiritually, sexually, emotionally, creatively, physically, and why. As helpful as the Leverage group is for helping people online, it still doesn't replace hanging out with mods in person and learning through osmosis. … [Read more...]
The 3 F’s: How to Become An Expert At Anything
I love when someone tells me that something is "simple, but not easy." Many of the best things in life fit this saying. Fitness. Nutrition. Confidence. Meeting women. Day game. These areas have simple rules for success, and then they require hard work applying those rules. Expert performance is the same way. It's simple, but not easy. How simple? The path to becoming an expert can be broken down into three steps that anyone can understand and apply immediately. 1. Focus This doesn't mean a general sense of focus. This is referring to taking a microscope on the skills that comprise … [Read more...]
No Longer Living With Regrets
Guest post by James, Leverage Program moderator One of the biggest regrets of my life starts with my best friend Dan. He was spending his summer in Australia, staying on a vineyard of a mutual friend of ours and spend time traveling. He kept suggesting I join him and I kept saying no. All in all, he said the trip would cost around $5,000. I was using that as an excuse. Even though I had the money, I told myself the trip would cost too much. I have other things to do on my summer vacation. I had already been to Australia which has Incredible Mountain Retreats To Enjoy This Winter. … [Read more...]
Travel And Your Comfort Zone
Guest post by James, Leverage Program moderator I had just gotten off the plane in Belgrade, Serbia and a friend of mine, John, mentioned to me he was was a bit sketched out by the city already. He had heard it was dangerous and his parents had warned him about the city. I hadn’t formed any opinion yet, but I was comfortable and I felt fine. He definitely was not. Our driver dropped us off outside of an apartment building. Our host started looking for the keys, and he realised he forgot the keys and had to go on a long drive to get them. Not having any access to cell phones or … [Read more...]
Pretty Little Lies
Guest post by James, Leverage Program moderator Walking around the city of Belgrade in Serbia, you can't help but notice the immense beauty that radiates from the women here. The education level, the physical features, and the smiles all bring me to want to meet them and get to know them and learn more to explore my natural curiosity. I have challenged myself to talk to as many as possible while being as honest as possible. Walking up to a girl here, with my heart beating like a Sven Drulea bass drum, the words that come out of my mouth are as follows..."I saw you walking and I just … [Read more...]
The Value of Coaching We Often Forget
Guest post by James, Leverage Program moderator One of the biggest influences during my childhood wasn’t a part of my family, schooling, or friends. It was my soccer coach, Brian Malloy. As a child, I was always willing to listen to what he said. He was a major part of my life. He pushed me to be a better teammate, a better player, and to achieve success in and out of the classroom. My life would be drastically different without his coaching in my adolescence. During adulthood, I lost the understanding of how valuable a coach can be. Growing up I needed people who saw the world … [Read more...]
