A New Name! The B.Rad Podcast (And My Commitment To Deliver The Most Intentional And Impactful Programming)

On this momentous day, I hereby re-christen this show as the B.Rad podcast! Why change the name after nearly 250 awesome shows? Why not, when my name is a double entendre and wonderfully in alignment with my main message of maintaining passion and competitive intensity throughout life! Besides, we’ve probably all gotten over ourselves by now, thanks to many life changing shows about healthy eating habits, how to live an active, fit lifestyle, pursue evolved relationship goals, minimize the damage caused by constant distraction and hyper connectivity, live a lifestyle that’s congruent with your stated goals, and of course try to not take yourself too seriously along the way. Seriously, I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to engage 1:1 with thought leaders of the world and I’ve made an effort to maximize these gifts by taking the insights to heart, making a devoted effort to apply them to everyday life, and of course share everything with you. Seven years down the road hosting Primal Blueprint and Primal Endurance podcast and 2.5 years into this podcast I figure it’s time for an updated mission statement and communication of my vision. In this show, I’ll discuss striking a delicate balance between the often cited recommendation to be honest, authentic, and vulnerable against the reality that any public interaction is not really “authentic” in the true sense of the word, but rather a deliberate effort to deliver a specific message. Some of this discussion flows from the surprising insights I experienced in the show where Dave Rossi interviewed me, and I became a bit rattled when Dave asked, “So, what do the listeners still not know about Brad Kearns?” You’ll hear me discuss the topic in detail, but a sneak preview is that I resolve to be a little less conciliatory and a little more bold and direct when I have a difference of opinion or when something smells like BS to me, especially popular notions about healthy eating and exercise. I recorded this show on the heels of two amazing and inspiring interviews with Dr. Paul Saladino and Robb Wolf. These guys are bold, confident, well informed and extremely direct and aggressive in calling out flawed and dated conventional stupidity. Whether or not you agree with them, it’s something to respect and appreciate, and it helps advance the quest for the truth and continued personal growth. Well, I greatly appreciate your support of the podcast; I’ll hope you’ll dig the new name, and look forward to continuing our journey together. Share the show with a friend or loved one! My awesome podcast app called “Overcast” allows you to grab a sound bite at any time while listening to a show and then text the file over to a friend with a few button pushes.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Healing Attachment Wounds For Successful Dating and Relationships

Get ready for another fast-moving, hard-hitting show with Dr. Wendy Walsh! Dr. Wendy is back for a third appearance to break down all the reasons why healing attachment wounds is integral to a healthy and successful relationship, and as always, brings her fresh and spicy perspective to the table as we discuss all things related to dating and relationships.In this episode, we confront the possibility that you (and all of us) are replaying a story of relationship dysfunction, get to the bottom of where this repetitive dysfunction is stemming from, and learn a practical, step-by-step approach for healing the root of these issues.Some key takeaways from this conversation with Dr. Wendy:Relationships are less about luck than they are about skill: “It’s not about finding the right mate, it’s becoming the right mate.”A solid couple that lasts a long time is based on three things: 1.) Sociology (what the dating apps look for; what somebody looks like on paper)2.) Biology (whether your pheromones are a good match)3.) Psychology (mainly relating to early life attachments)The most vulnerable period of a person’s life are ages 0-3. This is because you are preverbal, so you can’t process events, especially painful events, like a story. This is why this time is so critical for development. You can absolutely change your attachment style in life, and a huge part of that is choosing a partner that does not feel familiar. A relationship is an “exchange of care.”“Our unconscious processes in our early life experiences shape our personality and dominate our behavior through the lifespan.” “Someone who has a secure attachment style can give and receive care equally.”Dr. Wendy has a favorite metaphor for personal growth: “You’re walking down the street, you don’t see a hole, and you fall in that hole. That’s the level that most people are operating at. But when you decide, I’m going to make a change and I’m going to grow and understand. So then, Stage Two is, you’re walking down the street, and now, you see the hole! And you fall in it. Stage Three is when you walk down the street, you see that hole, and you very carefully use your mind to step around that hole. And Stage Four? You take a different street. And that’s how attachment injuries and so many other physiological injuries get healed.”Catch up with Dr. Wendy’s podcast, Mating Matters, here, and if you missed her first two appearances on the podcast, click here for the first show, Evolutionary Psychology Applied To Modern Love, and here for the second show on Successful Long-Term Relationships, Gratitude, Positive Attitudes, Healthy Parenting, The Future of Humanity, and Matters of Mating.TIMESTAMPS:Brad introduces Dr. Wendy who talks about how the injuries from early childhood influence your choice of partners. [01:35]Four relationship attributes are physical attraction, emotional regulation, empathy, and impulse control. [04:38]Why don’t dating apps include negatives along with the positives? [06:04] What is the chemical process of attraction? [07:31]If your own psychological attachment styles are not a good match, you're going to have problems. [09:38]Women place far less emphasis on looks because they’re more tuned to go for intelligence, which is often showcased through humor. [10:27]What is attachment theory? We form kind of a blueprint for love based on the kind of attachment we had with our primary caregivers. [12:34]What works is: See it. Realize it. Understand it and process it from your emotional brain. [16:13]The one common denominator in a relationship and is you! [21:35]We subconsciously seek a person representing our loving experience from childhood. [22:12]Some people say therapy is reparenting. [24:02]Your parent-child relationships can be a do-over for you, the parent. [26:34]What is the difference between somebody with a secure attachment and somebody who’s avoidant and just physically there? [27:43]In long-term relationships, couples therapy is important because everyone is constantly growing and changing and you need to learn to accommodate. [32:35]In an emotionally fused relationship, it is not about time spent, it’s about mental energy space. [37:12]When questioning, if this is too much work, the best thing to do is to go to personal therapy and learn your part of the interaction. [38:21]You could have unrealistic expectations about being a perfect person or an expectation of what love is. [39:50]Kids are little sponges. They know what’s going on. [41:35]LINKS:Brad’s Shopping PageWendy WalshMating MattersWendy Walsh Podcast with BradHarry Harlow Monkey StudyVenn DiagramQUOTES:“At the end of the day, we are wired to bond….there are so many mental and physical health benefits of being able to show yourself to somebody in an intimate way.”“Relationships are a Venn diagram: they’re two circles overlapping. And if the circles are too close, you get a fused relationship, where nobody can remember whose problem is whose. But if they are too autonomous and separate, then there is no intimacy. So you want to keep a good chunk of your circle, your sense of self, your autonomy, growing — so you have something to bring back in to the relationship.” Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-get-over-yourself-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listener Q&A on MOFO Supplementation, Building a Healthier Metabolism with More Movement, Fat Adapted Endurance Training, HIIT vs HIRT, and Combining Micro workouts with Full Workouts (Breather Episode with Brad)

Enjoy insights on a variety of topics during this breather show, including: the best time to supplement with MOFO and detox reaction considerations; second guessing the concept of caloric efficiency to introduce the concept of moving more frequently, eating more nutritious calories, and coming out healthier; and the correct way to implement the Tabata workout protocol (hint: it only takes four minutes!). I also touch on the issue of struggling with energy during prolonged workouts after switching to a low-carb carnivore eating pattern, and talk about the importance of acknowledging (and healing) from the mental scars caused by overtraining/burnout, so you don’t elicit a fear reaction when it comes to challenging your body with difficult workouts. An important takeaway from this show is that we all have the same ability to utilize our intuition to determine what the right workout is on any given day, and to not let things like peer pressure and the plethora of misinformation one can find on the internet get in the way of listening to that inner voice. I wrap up by sharing some life-changing advice from Mark Manson, who says that the path to happiness is through using self discipline to make choices that make you happy, and that you should view your life more simply, as a series of decisions and actions, and work to maintain an identity that is “defined by as little as possible.” That’s all for today! Thanks for listening, and please send me an email if you have any questions you’d like answered in a future Q&A show!TIMESTAMPS:Mac McGruder says after taking MOFO, he has experienced an increase in energy and focus but has noticed a change in his sleep. [01:48]Daniel brings up a question about minimizing calories. Do we need to slow metabolism for a longer life? [07:23]Chuck Sims is concerned about the carnivore diet and his energy level being low when he participates in endurance sports. [12:52]A listener named Brad is asking about HRT versus HIT. The Tabata idea has been abused. Look for periods of luxurious rest intervals. [16:26]Mark Sisson still recommends combining micro workouts with longer, more structured strength training sessions as part of a complete toolkit. Given that, how would you recommend distributing these with other workouts in a given week? [20:38]Tom Verdich from down under was quite ill after massively over-training. He heard about   the book Biology of Belief and changed his beliefs about exercise. [22:33]All of us at all levels of performance, have this wonderful intuitive ability to determine the right workout to do on a particular day, month, or year. We just ignore that voice so frequently due to peer pressure and misinformation from the internet. [26:19]Tom asks for Brad’s tips on getting over yourself. See your life as simply a series of decisions and actions.

Eric Frohardt: Taking the Easy Route Up Mt. Denali, Overcoming Long Odds By Not Giving Up, and Other Navy SEAL insights

What an amazing journey Eric has been on, tackling incredible challenges with minimal preparation or specific skill sets, but armed with an incredible mindset of positivity and resilience. Let’s go backstage into the world of the legendary Navy SEAL BUDS training program that has the huge dropout rate and the unimaginable “Hell Week” designed to break even the strongest of physical specimens. Eric is an understated guy and makes things sound like no big deal. He describes how he “burned the boat” when he landed in Coronado, CA for BUDS training - he was certain he was going to finish no matter what. Eric went on to a long and storied 12-year career with the SEALS, featuring climbing the highest peak in North and South America with no mountaineering background, climbing El Capitan with just a few days of climbing experience, and jumping out of the airplane on the third flight he ever took in his life! Listen as Eric describes how the Navy has invested millions of dollars in discovering the “winning formula” for a candidate to succeed at the highest and most demanding level of service, but has come up empty to date. I think we can discern the secret from how Eric concludes certain comments in the interview. He offers a low-key, matter-of-fact attitude that certain tasks and goals will be achieved no matter what if you believe it to be so. While on active duty, Eric served at various SEAL Teams. He deployed numerous times to hot spots around the world, in support of the Global War on Terror. He received various medals and commendations in the process. As a SEAL, Eric was trained in the use of various firearms, demolition, explosives, radio and computer communications, combat diving, parachute operations, combat casualty care (first aid), survival in various environments, climbing, hand-to-hand combat and tactical driving. He was also a sniper. While on active duty, Eric also climbed El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park, CA. 2007 Honnold there. He also completed 2 of the 7 summits, Denali and Aconcagua both without the use of supplemental oxygen. Wow! He also co-founded a number of different businesses, most notably the BluCore Shooting Center, an indoor shooting range, gun store and firearms training facility. He is currently the CEO of StrongFirst – a premium strength and fitness education company with a global presence of more than 2,000 instructors. He is also currently involved with a program called Heart Led Leadership, which offers a yearlong intensive behavioral change program for senior leaders.Combining the skills acquired from nearly 12 years of active duty as a Navy SEAL, an entrepreneur and CEO, and a passion for heart led leadership, Eric truly has learned how to manage fear, while delivering consistent excellence. He will have you on the edge of your seat as he shares real-life stories of overcoming impossible odds and team success, and his spellbinding style will keep you engaged as he ties his experiences as a SEAL to experiences in the business world. The Q&A session is also always a highlight.

Listener Q&A: Endurance Training, Carnivore Diet Experimentation, and Being Strategic About Helping Others ( Breather Episode with Brad)

(Breather) Enjoy some really thoughtful questions from listeners on an incredible variety of topics relating to healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle. In this breather show, you’ll hear a little bit of my amateur attempt at an Irish accent (by request!) before I dive into some great questions from listeners. I touch on the importance of being strategic when it comes to whom you try to help/convince with lifestyle changes (wait till they are “ready to receive,” says Mia Moore) and the benefits of being reasonable, open-minded, and avoiding the all too common polarization that’s so common today in so many areas of society, including health advice. I also offer a sneak preview of my new triathlon training book called How To Improve Your *Triathlon Time: A Healthy, Balanced Approach to an Obsessive Sport, and share my thoughts on the best ways to experiment with strict carnivore if you are already a high calorie burning endurance athlete. I also talk about the powerful effects of nose breathing and why you should be doing it throughout the day, as well as the importance of taking some deep, diaphragmatic breaths to engage your lower abdomen.That’s all for today, and thanks to everyone who sent in questions! If you’d like to submit a question to be answered in an upcoming show, shoot me an email!TIMESTAMPS:Breath through your nose. [01:29]Maciej says keto lifestyle is not for everyone. We often perceive ourselves to be more open-minded than we really are. [04:08]Mick from Ireland asks about adding pigs’ ears when making bone broth at home. A true bone broth will be gelatinous when refrigerated. [06:36]John Bennett describes the progress is 15-year-old son has made since he, as a weight lifter, has changed his diet and training regimen. [11:22]A note from Patrick Hall mentions Brad’s old book about improving triathlon. Brad is republishing it and it will be on Amazon soon. “How to Improve Your Triathlon Time” [13:46]Dennis in Seattle asks: Do you have a rough template for the season after the two-month aerobic base building period? Make sure you’re ready and start slowly. [14:36]When you decide to go into an extreme restrictive diet like the carnivore diet, you could have a bit of a problem if you are a typical endurance athlete in training. [16:47]Steven Raider is questioning the idea that if you go carnivore it means fruits and vegetables are bad. [21:21]If you are going to try a carnivore diet, be sure to eat the most nutritious and best products. [28:19]All the antioxidant benefits we hear about in the superfoods can be surpassed by fasting.

Cameron Rogers: Making Anxiety Your “Secret Weapon,” And Transitioning From Wall Street To Health Coach

Enjoy this interesting interview from popular health coach and Instagram sensation, the Freckled Foodie, aka Cameron Rogers!After working on Wall Street in Sales & Trading for 5 years, Cameron had a life-altering moment, and decided it was time to wave goodbye to the corporate world and pursue the Freckled Foodie full-time. Since then, she’s grown her community, worked with notable companies on creating content, helped dozens of individuals achieve a more healthy and balanced lifestyle through her health coaching practice, and developed her personality as a podcast host on Freckled Foodie & Friends. By doing all of this, she was fortunate enough to be named one of the five entrepreneurs changing New York’s wellness scene by Forbes.In this show, Cameron goes beyond the success story of quitting Wall Street for a career in health to talk about her longtime struggle with anxiety and the coping strategies she has used successfully, and recommends to her clients. A great sound bite is that we must accept anxiety as inevitable, but figure out a way to make anxiety spur action and accomplishment. Cameron also relates an evolved approach to dietary transformation, where she encourages her clients to stay away from the stress of orthorexia by allowing occasional or regular sensible indulgences. Enjoy this interesting and wide-ranging show with Cameron and check out her podcast here!TIMESTAMPS:Cameron Rogers is not only describing her life transition of moving into the world after college, she talks about her dietary strategy that she uses in her coaching others. [01:22]The more Cameron got into cooking, the more she became focused on how her body was impacted by what she ate and drank. [04:32]When seeing a physician about her severe abdominal issues, she learned she had mercury poisoning as a result of some dental work! [06:14]Focusing too much on the food journey led her to realizing her lifelong anxiety struggle was attached to eating. [09:37]How does one manage anxiety? Alcohol is not the solution. [16:50]What recommendations does she give to her clients? She deals with each individually. Once you restrict something, you usually crave it more. [20:08]When she’s working with clients, looking at diet is important, but talking about how one feels when eating, while eating, and after eating are important. Are you actually paying attention to the food you eat? [24:09]Her approach is a bit different from traditional therapy. Cameron calls herself an accountability coach. [26:24]Cameron tells of her journey from her job, to Instagram, to her business model. [31:47]How does she help someone who struggles with the assignments they are given?

Brad’s Quick and Actionable Healthy Lifestyle Tips (Breather Episode with Brad)

(Breather) This is a great show to share with a friend or loved one to get going on a healthier path without getting too deep into the weeds on the various health topics that are covered in detail in many other episodes. You learn the most important immediate changes you can make to increase energy, improve fat burning, and minimize disease risk factors and why they are so important. In this show I give you some basic assignments in four different areas--here is a sneak preview of everything covered on the show: Diet: Ditch the “Big Three” as your #1 health and disease prevention objective: Refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils. Establish a zero-tolerance policy with extreme devotion for at least 21 days to give your body a chance to escape carb dependency and get good at burning stored body fat. Exercise/Movement: Increase all forms of general everyday movement (walking, Morning Movement Routine, yoga/pilates/tai chi, foam rolling, movement breaks from work desk); conduct formal cardiovascular workouts at MAF heart rate or below; perform regular brief, intense strength training sessions with the body under resistance load (body weight, free weights, cords/straps); perform occasional all-out sprints--short duration, long recovery interval, consistent high quality.Sleep/Recovery: Minimize artificial light and digital stimulation after dark, power down from technology with extreme discipline, schedule in solo, reflective timeStress Management: Discover stress-reducing behaviors/activities and prioritize them in daily life: Breathing/meditation, temperature therapy, gratitude practice, cultivating positive attitude/mindset. Enjoy this focused message and perhaps listen to the show every few months to keep focused and motivated to cover the basics of healthy living every day!TIMESTAMPS:Let's start simple with eliminating the toxic modern foods that are directly resulting in excess body fat and accelerated disease risk factors. [01:17]Within the list of meat, fish, fowl, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, you have a variety of choices to select from for the healthiest of meals. [03:09]Refined industrial seed oils confuse your body. [05:20]A 21-day commitment to eating only a nutrient-dense diet will teach your body not to depend on the carbs. Reach for a nutritious snack, rather than sugary snacks. [06:05]Move more in everyday life.  A heart rate of 180 beats per minute minus your age should be your goal when exercising. [08:38]We also have an obligation to put ourselves under the resistance load and perform brief explosive movements in order to maintain muscle mass. [13:17]Sprinting is one of the best efforts to enhance your fitness. [15:11]Sleep, rest, and rejuvenation are so important in today’s digital world. [18:47]When you awaken at or near sunrise, make a point to expose your eyeballs to direct sunlight. [24:27]Stress management is something we all have to figure out. Take six deep breaths.

William Shewfelt #4: Protein-to-Energy Ratio For Fat Loss And The Benefits Of Being A Generalist With Disparate Peak Performance Goals

William Shewfelt returns to the show for a historic fourth time to discuss the hot topic of losing excess body fat quickly and efficiently. William has locked into a highly effective strategy that is working for his clients at 21daycarnivoreshred.com. It revolves around prioritizing protein intake (since of course that is the body’s most critical dietary objective) by consuming foods that have a favorable protein-to-energy ratio. Protein also happens to be highly satiating, so you are enjoying delicious meals without deprivation and suffering from calorie restriction diets. Protein also has a high thermic effect, meaning if a significant portion of the protein calories you consume (some studies say up to 20%) are allocated toward metabolizing the protein. As Mark Sisson says often, there is a legitimate argument that you don’t even need to count protein calories, because they are used for building block purposes instead of calorie energy. William is a high energy guy who follows his passions at all times. As you learned from his first Get Over Yourself podcast show, he has an extremely disciplined, methodical, and quantified approach to pursuing goals that he has applied in numerous disparate areas, from writing, online coaching, acting and also his latest passion of music. Listen to his Disfruta single on YouTube! You will love his enthusiasm and youthful energy. Who knows, maybe the protein-to-energy ratio concept will give you the breakthrough you are looking for in fat loss! Read more in his book with Dr. Ted Naiman called The P/E Diet.TIMESTAMPS:How do you drop excess body fat once and for all? [01:44]Catching up with Shewfelt leaves you breathless with diet, coaching, acting, singing, writing. [05:59]The carnivore focus of Will’s diet includes two steaks and 6 eggs yolks in a shake daily. [08:34]What is the protein to energy ratio? [09:26]        Protein is a building block, not a calorie burning energy.  Focus on your protein requirement. [14:55]It is a huge task to sift through all the diet information to which we are exposed. [23:17]Protein is number one, exercise is number two. Fasting and an 8-hour sleep are there on the list. [24:34]When your mindset has been firmly implanted with the colorful vegetables on your plate, it is hard to absorb the carnivore diet information. [25:33]How is Shewfelt dealing with helping people lose excess body fat as a group? [30:59]It is common when one achieves a goal to celebrate the success, and then fall back.  How can we deal with that? [34:57]What is the role of carbohydrates in a healthy athletic person’s diet? [37:23]        No one diet is appropriate for everyone. [43:45]When you are able to develop your inner intuition, you are able to prevent yourself from doing too much.

Expert Insights, Part 3: Health Optimization (Breather Episode with Brad)

This episode is full of life-changing insights from an assortment of experts on the subject of health optimization and biohacking. Sure, we all already know about the importance of building healthy habits, but taking it a step further and learning why your brain prefers to engage in the familiar will leave you more motivated to actually make those necessary changes that optimize your health. And this goes beyond the physical — mental health obviously stills falls under the umbrella of health optimization, and this show will prompt you to ask yourself many thought-provoking questions, like: can I make it through one day with no whining, no complaining, and no excuses? Some other key points covered during this episode:The importance of service. Tom Bilyeu of the popular Impact Theory YouTube channel says: “Work your ass off at something you care very deeply about to get very good, so you can serve not only yourself, but others.”Because the brain tends toward down wiring to save energy, try to be intentional about creating new habits. One of the best things you can do for yourself is create a morning routine you can stick to, as it sets you up to be a more disciplined person throughout the day. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself slipping into old habits.Do your best to protect yourself against EMF exposure. “We don’t know certain effects on humans, but we do know that rates of autism have risen from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 68 in a very short time, a few generations,” Tommy Wood comments, and chances of developing Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and other cognitive decline conditions are now 1 in 2. Experts believe this is strongly correlated with environmental pollution, particularly EMF, as well as dietary choices (forget about Type 2 Diabetes, watch out for Type 3!). Fast on days you fly. When you’re in a plane, you’re exposed to a lot of EMF. But when you are in a fasted state, your internal antioxidant production is boosted. Also, if you fast and wait to eat until after you’ve arrived at your destination, this will greatly help your body adapt more quickly to the time difference.Protect your personal reputation.Value your time more than your own possessions. Be early. Pete Caroll points out that there is a difference between being early and being on time: Being early demonstrates not just a high regard for yourself, but also for others, while showing that you have discipline and focus. Thanks for listening!TIMESTAMPS:Work your ass off at something you really care about. [01:39]When you build good habits, you free up more energy to work on peak performance. [02:51]Building good habits at bedtime is very important. The same routine helps get optimal sleep. [07:14]Take five deep breaths before responding to a stimulus. [08:06]From 12 to 3:00 AM are the critical hours where the remnants of mammalian hibernation lie for our species. [09:07]Electromagnetic Field exposure and poor diet are of real concern. The brain cells are most sensitive to dysfunction. [10:29]Before plane travel, it’s a good idea to fast and/or do a high-intensity workout before boarding a plane. [13:34]Pete Carroll, the football coach, gives tips for success. One is always to protect the team; two is no complaining, and three is to be early. [17:13]Remember that you will die. Value your time rather than possessions. Put your life up for review.

Jonathon Aslay: Better Dating Through Cultivating Self-Love And Healing Childhood Trauma

Get ready for a fast-moving show that will offer you a brand-new perspective on dating, self-worth, and self-love. In this episode, Jonathon Aslay reveals why dating itself can trigger our deepest fears, shares the 4 Pillars of A Successful Relationship, and breaks down the ways in which we can transcend the flawed modern dating scene to have deeper, more meaningful, more successful dates and long-term romantic partnerships. And it starts with the common denominator in all of your failed relationships: you! That’s right, dating success starts with cultivating self-love and healing childhood trauma. Jonathon is the author of What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway, a book about healing from grief and childhood trauma to cultivate self-love. Jonathon leverages his message to the unique challenges of the modern dating scene. He is a dating coach specializing in mid-life and purposeful dating ― helping clients transcend the usual obsession with chemistry to become more self-aware and understand what Jonathon calls the 4 Pillars of successful relationships: Chemistry, Common Values, Blendable Lifestyles, and Emotional Maturity. Jonathon is the real deal, having overcome an assortment of personal setbacks to rebuild his life and gift his message to others. After losing his 19-year-old son Connor in 2018, Jonathon was forced to acknowledge what he’s suspected all along: that dating strategies are often too one-dimensional to have a meaningful impact. Instead, it’s the act of dating itself that brings out what he feels is the number one emotional health issue facing singles today: a soul-deep lack of self-worth and self-love. Today, Jonathon is on a mission to encourage both men and women to adopt a daily practice of self-help, personal development, and spirituality, so that they may find true inner happiness, purpose, and peace. With these practices, individuals will attract the relationship of their dreams — and Jonathon is here to help along the way.Enjoy listening to this fun, informative (and quite useful!) show with Jonathon, and if you want to connect with him or learn more about his work, check out his website here.TIMESTAMPS:Jonathan Aslay is a dating coach and expert specializing in midlife and purposeful dating. [01:38]Jonathan’s four pillars for successful dating are chemistry, shared values, a blendable lifestyle, and emotional maturity. [03:00]In the dating realm, old memories of “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not lovable” come up. [05:15]After using the dating profile system, Jonathan realized that he was good at interpreting both men’s and women’s profiles and that’s how his business came about. [07:35]The greater issue in dating is not just biology and attraction, it is more a healing of our childhood wounds and traumas. [08:44]Emotional maturity is one of the key pillars of a relationship. If people don’t take responsibility for their choices, they are not emotionally mature. [11:12]The physical connection is nice but to sustain a long-term relationship, you need blendable lifestyles. [16:33]Romance should be reserved for relationships and not just for dating. [18:13]More women than men ask for help from this dating coach. [21:22]In modern times, the way people meet and get together is so different from the past. [23:15]It took Jonathan over 100 failed dates to realize the common denominator in them all was Jonathan himself. [27:23]Self-love means self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-reliance, self-respect. [23:45]Can we assume that most everyone has some wounds from their childhood upbringing and are lingering? [30:54]We can either look inward or look to blame the outside world. [31:58]Sadly, people are dating myopically….just thinking about what am I getting here? rather than respecting the other’s feelings. [41:18]Ask value-based questions on that first date. [46:38]It is important to be honest and straightforward in communicating how you see the relationship. Are you looking for a partner? Are you just having fun? Benefits? [52:40]It’s not necessarily rejection. It is a misalignment. It is an awareness. [54:09]Biology makes up a small percentage of the other person’s personality. [56:15]Meeting up with a stranger is a challenge, these days.
