The Final Episodes: 11 Things to Understand About Dopamine, How to Dopamine Detox, and Building Dopamine Baseline for Your Bold Move (#2 of 6)

  #. 331 In the finale of The Great Man Within podcast, I give you my most vulnerable gift: An intense 85-minute audio recording of me and my coach (David Waldas) during one of the most raw and exposed moments of my life: Friday, December 23rd, 2022 (just 3 days before this episode aired). I open up about a terrifying panic attack, fear of death, feelings of despair about my health situation and a humbling admission of how far I feel right now from the “greatness” I’ve set out to achieve. You’re getting the 100% unfiltered and unprecedented fly-on-the-wall access to the deepest parts of me… …because this recording was never meant to be shared publicly (David records all of our coaching sessions). But something tells me this look into my life, will make a meaningful difference in at least one of yours. It’s my most special, vulnerable, and final gift to you… …as we bring to an end, The Great Man Within Podcast. -DQ To Stay Connected to the Community and Dominick:   Get free daily texts on Purpose, Personal Leadership & Masculinity Click Here (once you click the link, press “send” to text the keyword to me to get the daily texts)   Follow Dominick on Instagram: @DominickQ   To Email Me: [email protected]   Join the Facebook Group for Men: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithin   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------   Great Man Within Spotify Playlists  Our Top 10 Most Downloaded Episodes of All Time Our Top 6 Most Downloaded Episodes of 2021 Our Top 10 Most Downloaded Masculinity Episodes The “New Listeners Start Here” Playlist Great Man Within Episodes for Women Bryan's Favorite Episodes   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------   David Waldas Website: https://davidaronwaldas.com/

We let shit get really bad (the unsatisfying relationship that devolves into spite and hatred, the business that’s hemorrhaging money, the deteriorating physical health that leads to a heart attack, the anxious workaholism that turns into insomnia and a panic attack, the bad habit that turns into a rock bottom addiction). Or even worse, we normalize the problem, acclimate to it, and live it with for extended durations…and sometimes a lifetime. This is DRIFT. The consequences: Mack Truck Moments: Very expensive wake up calls Discontent: A chronic sense of underlying dissatisfaction Hopelessness: An unconscious acceptance that “this is how it is” #1. How to Know When It’s Over Key Question: Is this a plateau, or is this complete? Emotional Fluency: tuning into your inner navigation system Status Quo: Over the long term = low grade poison for a fulfilling life Pain of Change Equation: When Perceived pain of change > pain of same, nothing will change #2. How to End with Integrity How you finish things says a lot about you Run through the finish line #3. Making Space for New Beginnings “Every new beginning came from some other beginning’s end.”

Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are two great examples of this – two shows famously about nothing (the trivialities of life), yet turned into art that makes us laugh and relate. In long term relationships, there are no shortage of mundane moments…infuriating moments…and all the other moments in between that can be dismissed as forgettable or necessary evils you have to endure. Our guest today, Madelyn Moon, encourages us to take these relationship moments and make art out of them – just like Larry David would – to bring more life, play and heat into your relationship. Fellas, this might be a good episode to invite your ladies to listen along with you.  Who is Madelyn Moon?  Madelyn is a guide for women seeking to discover, claim and own all of her inherently wild and artistic sides so that she can express her true self in all areas of life, especially her love life Madelyn is the author of Artist of Love, The Modern Woman’s Guidebook to Unleashing Her Creativity, Deepening Her Relationships and Becoming the Leading Actor in Her Own Life Madelyn has been on the show before with one of our most popular episodes of all time, 5 Ways Men Lose Credibility with Women In this Episode: What it means to “create art” out of the mundane and frustrating moments in relationships How a man who knows how to create art out of these moments becomes a more trustworthy man How an artful physical touch can calm your woman’s nervous system in a heated moment How lack of defining a shared purpose for your relationship…leads to a relationship who’s default purpose is merely “staying together”  4 ways to create art in your relationship
