I often find myself at a crossroads.

I have jokingly said that my job as VP of Charisma

Arts is to have the difficult and uncomfortable conversations that no one else wants to
have.   In an industry where everyone is grasping desperately for air, I have become very
comfortable at holding my breath. Oftentimes the choices I have to make are not the
easiest.  This industry, the seduction industry or whatever you want to call it is full of
marketers and creative writers that manipulate men - and women - with hype marketing
and bold and grand stories that never happened. In reality, my job as VP of Charisma
Arts is to make sure that we offer the absolute highest quality of instruction in an industry
filled with manipulators and illusionists.  It’s my job to staff the company with the best
people.  It’s my job to maintain integrity of our content, even though right now it’s not
the cool thing to do in this industry. And how do I do that? I do it by having the right
people.  Because people is what this industry is about.  Not marketing.  Not clever
business plans. Because, and maybe I’m crazy for believing this, I don’t believe that a
man has to be manipulative and sneaky to attract the woman of his dreams. And I don’t
believe that a man has to hide his real self to be attractive. And I don’t believe that a man
should have to work incredibly hard at attracting and being able to keep a woman. I don’t
know why I feel this way while so many guys seem to feel differently, but I believe that a
man should remain as unfiltered as possible. And when he likes a girl, he should just tell
her “I like you, you make me laugh.” Be vulnerable.  Be willing to take the punch. Or in
my case, “I like you; you laugh at all my bad jokes.” And I know this bothers some of
you guys, because you write me emails and start threads in our alumni forum
complaining, and say that you want more techniques and tricks to attract women. But
techniques and tricks aren’t what you need.  You just need to be really comfortable being
you. Stop trying to buy into that fantasy that you can attract every woman.  Go out and
find the women that like you just because you’re you.  They’re so much more fun than
the others. And I know, because I used to be all into those same techniques.  And now
when I read some of my old posts I cringe.  “Did I really think and feel that way?” I’ve
thought about deleting some old posts, but I haven’t.  Maybe it will help some of you see
the progression of a guy as he figured himself out. Anyway, here is what I believe is all
you need to get your inner game handled:

 Be the world’s absolute, number one authority on yourself.   When someone asks
you a question about you, BOOM, you should be able to answer it.  You are not a
subject you should have to think about.
 Have an opinion.  Believe in something.  The point of this is not to start
arguments with people that feel differently, but instead to FEEL something about
something.   MEN believe in something.  Man-boys go with the flow.  Teaching
these skills is something I believe in.  Maybe I’m crazy.
 Have a battle to fight.  The world cannot resist a man on a mission.
