Today once again I feature Franco, with whom I’ve done several podcasts. We met up in San Diego over New Years and talked about a girl’s comfort on dates, which is a sticking point I had late last year, where it was difficult to tell how comfortable a girl was on a date, which made it tough to move things forward. Franco always tells me about his excellent track record on dates, as he was closing 9 out of 10 girls he would take on dates with him. What helps is his ability to gauge a girl’s comfort and where she is emotionally on a date. Knowing a girl’s comfort level and emotions are key in the moment, as this allows you to determine what you need to do to move a date forward toward intimacy – and very importantly, when. Girls also often give mixed signals to test a guy, and a good guy should know how to handle these tests as he moves the process along with a girl. In this podcast, we talk about how to determine a girl’s comfort level early on a date, the adjustments in vibe we need to make to make her more comfortable, the adjustments we should make if an emotion is too strong, how to determine when a girl is comfortable enough for touch and what type, when to start and escalate touch, how to use sexual touch when she’s comfortable, and how to close at the end of the date – whether it’s just going for the kiss or pulling her home. Podcast Details: 1:30 – Introduction to Franco and Varoon in San Diego on New Year’s Eve 2:00 – Girls want dates to go well, but they often give mixed signals, so the whole date is a bit of a test. Girls usually come into a date nervous, and this influences how it transpires. 3:20 – Varoon shares personal stories of how, for many years, he had great results approaching girls and getting them on dates, but had trouble gauging comfort and true emotions in the moment. 5:00 – Franco and Varoon talk about signs of a girl’s nervousness vs. comfort early into a date, why you want to make her feel comfortable as early as possible, and things she will do to indicate her state of mind. 7:30 – Varoon shares how he didn’t get a girl comfortable early on a date with him, and that made her eject by using “polite excuses.” This example shows how timing is key for date tech. 8:30 – How to elicit early comfort emotions and how to look for comfortable tangents for conversation 11:00 – A girl’s impression of the date is going to be based on her emotions, as she’s already showing interest in a guy by going on the date. 13:00 – A man’s job on a date is to make adjustments in vibe to make her more comfortable. He can make her laugh more, use the one compliment rule, or use sex talk and sexual tension. 15:00 – We talk about how to calibrate sex talk on a date, and the key to make sure she’s not in her “stiff” phase before talking about sex. 17:30 – The role of touch on a date, and how to touch early on, when to start touch, and when to escalate touch. 19:30 – How to transition into sex talk, and the kinds of sex talk used. 20:00 – Franco shares how he uses sex talk and touch together, how girl’s react, and how to gauge comfort during sex talk. 22:30 – Recap of the date sequence to make a girl comfortable, and how stiffness is a tell-tale sign for a girl. 24:30 – Varoon shares a story he overheard of a guy kissing a girl at the wrong moment, and how girls are super socially attuned. 27:00 – We discuss kissing at the end of a first date, and whether or not to kiss a girl. Franco shares how to leave a girl wanting more with a kiss. How to deliver the perfect kiss. 31:00 – How to end a first date with a pull-away kiss, and using it for sexual tension.

Welcome back to Dating Mechanics, our podcast here on Girls Chase! Today I feature a special guest who was recommended to me by Chase himself. Joshua Spodek (who actually used to be a dating coach himself) is now an expert on leadership, training, and taking initiative. He has several PhDs, writes a column for Inc., and has five Ivy league degrees. In this podcast, we’re here to talk about his upcoming new book, called Initiative, where Josh shares how anyone in any place in life can start taking initiative to create extraordinary results in life. Podcast Details: Taking Initiative 02:30 – We introduce Joshua, and we talk about his background in New York, and how he began teaching how to improve lives. We also talk about textbook learning versus performance based learning, and how traditional learning has failed. 05:00 – Traditional mainstream education teaches people to comply, and it tells you what’s important. Joshua shows how traditional textbook and example-based learning leaves people with fewer options. 08:00 – The path of traditional education leads to stability and keeps society going. It’s good for benefits and allows people to put their kids through college, but it may not be as fulfilling or lucrative as taking the path less traveled. 09:00 – Josh shares what inspired him to write Initiative, based on his experience in graduate school and how he started his first company – the first time he experienced full control. 11:20 – Josh’s lack of leadership skills caused him to be squeezed out of his own company. 12:45 – The number one reason people say they don’t want to start a company – they don’t have an idea. Varoon talks about Chipotle and how it evolved. 14:10 – Ideas don’t matter to the level we think. The people who don’t care about their ideas but pursue a path based on leadership skill succeed, whereas the people who look for the perfect idea do not. We always learn through our own experiences. 16:40 – We talk about the different types of ideas, and how the traditional entrepreneurial path is good for a limited number of outcomes. 19:00 – Josh talks about his book and course, and the fundamental learning tool is experience and practice. Memorizing facts doesn’t really work. 22:00 – People don’t start working on their ideas because they never figure out what they really want to do, which stalls them from even starting. Josh asks me what I remember most from school, and how I remember social skills more than my education. 24:30 – Josh talks about the example of learning how to play piano. Some things are known learning paths, in social and performance based fields. 25:30 – Josh shares his example of Rafael from his book. 28:40 – We talk more about Initiative, and how the exercises lead practitioners to unearth their real passions. 31:00 – The practice of very basic exercises can lead people to create beautiful symphonies, because repetition creates experience and muscle memory. 32:30 – We talk about working past sticking points to master skills. 34:00 – The more you serve what other people need, the more they help you succeed in your own goals. 38:30 – People fear taking action because they fear their own internal problems, and how they imagine failure will make them space. Practice always pays off, though. Working on fundamentals and basics always pays off. 41:30 – How discipline and practice allows authenticity to emerge. 43:00 – Josh shares how initiative will bring forth profit and passion into anyone’s life. 44:45 – Josh talks about guests he has had on his podcast, including Chase, available on www.joshuaspodek.com.

Today we feature a show in development for quite some time with my first female guest – Shari James – who runs a successful coaching practice based out of Los Angeles, CA called Architecture of Pleasure to help men resolve Erectile Dysfunction. Podcast Highlights: 1:50 – Introduction to Shari James, her mission in treating Erectile Dysfunction. 4:15 – Shari explains how she started her business Architecture of Pleasure as a result of a history in stripping. 7:10 – Stripping and dancing was a freedom of expression for Shari – and it pulled guys into her 9:10 – Women don’t give men enough time to talk – and Shari trained herself to give men space to be emotional. 10:40 – Shari’s journey leads her into the erotic arts and tantric massage. 13:20 – Shari’s path takes her to offering sexual healing to men, women, and couples. 15:50 – Shari wants to take the suffering out of ED for men and to educate men on sexuality and healing, using her 26 years of experience with them. 17:40 – The five branches of the sexual system: the emotional/mental issues, the circulatory system, the nervous system, sexual energy, and being state. All five cause erectile dysfunction. 19:40 – Step #1: Release Heavy Emotions. 21:40 – Men have an inner hard-on. Men’s sexual center connects with the heart – and when men have inner pain, it blocks their inner hard-on, which blocks their outer hard-on. 23:40 – Men stop having sex to emotionally distance themselves from women in relationships, too, sometimes pre-breakup. 25:30 – Shari talks about men who need to have an emotional connection in order to have sexual desire and a hard-on for a woman. 28:00 – We talk about how to understand and deal with emotional issues that cause ED. 30:40 – Case study with a client who was in an abusive relationship with a woman. 32:50 – Step #2: Increase Circulation. 35:20 – We talk about nitric oxide and how it works towards a healthy sexual function. 37:50 – Shari shares her case study of helping a man in his 60s whose circulation was compromised by diabetes, which caused ED. 39:50 – Step #3: Decrease Stress and Retrain the Nervous System. 42:10 – Most men operate full time in a sympathetic nervous system mode – which actually inhibits their erections. 45:00 – Men don’t carry over meditation mindsets into their daily life, which contributes to ED. 47:00 – Shari shares her case study of a stressed-out business owner, and how she helped him manage his stress to fix his erectile dysfunction. 48:40 – Common medical practice is to isolate ED, when actually it’s linked to a greater body system. 49:50 – Step #4: Harness Sexual Energy. 51:50 – Women get more energy from orgasms while men lose energy from ejaculations and feel tired. 53:50 – When men have morning wood, everything fixes, or has fixed, itself. 54:40 – Case study of a guy in his 40s in a great marriage who wasn’t getting aroused with his wife. 57:25 – Step #5: Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction.
