    Episode 611: The diamond mine (men are the prize)

    2026/04/06 | 12 mins.
    Who is the prize in modern relationships: the man or the woman? In this episode, I break down the viral debate and offer a comparison between top-tier men and women. While a top-tier woman is a diamond – dazzling and expensive – a top-tier man is a diamond mine – productive and valuable. Men are the prize because assets that generate value always outperform liabilities that consume it.

    Episode 610: Turning it around (how to start winning in life)

    2026/04/03 | 10 mins.
    Feel like nothing is going your way? In this episode, I break down the psychology of turning it around when you're stuck in a rut. The key is to understand the role of inertia and momentum in human behavior and why small, strategic wins are essential to changing direction. Learn how to start winning in life by (temporarily) lowering your threshold of achievement and building “win chains” that create real emotional force.

    Episode 609: Performative masculinity (it's not what you think)

    2026/03/30 | 11 mins.
    We hear a lot about performative masculinity these days – but it's not what you think. In this episode, I argue that this term has been widely misused and clarify that women have been performing masculinity on a mass scale. Behaviors like protectiveness, dutifulness, and aggressiveness become hollow signals when they produce no real-world effects. Do not mistake the theatre for reality.

    Episode 608: You do not need entertainment (how to get more done)

    2026/03/27 | 11 mins.
    The average American now spends 11 hours a day consuming media – and it's quietly draining our collective vitality. The truth is that you do not need entertainment nearly as much as you think you do. In this episode, I'll discuss how to get more done by cycling effort rather than defaulting to screens when you feel tired. If you're serious about building a meaningful life, this episode is for you.

    Episode 607: Protecting against gold diggers (show them the money)

    2026/03/23 | 13 mins.
    Successful men often ask me how to effectively integrate protecting against gold diggers into their dating strategy. The answer is simpler than you think. The key principle? Show them the money, but never allow them to separate your resources from your presence. Gold diggers will attempt to do so and will resort to emotional manipulation strategies when they encounter resistance – non-exploitative women won't.
