The Science of Attraction, Status & Success with Michael Sartain

I sit down with Michael Sartain, a former U.S. military officer turned high-performance coach for men. We dive deep into evolutionary psychology, social dynamics, and the importance of networking, leadership, and risk-taking.

Michael shares insights from his extensive experience coaching thousands of men, explaining how status, social circles, and competence play a crucial role in success—both professionally and personally. We also explore why taking calculated risks is essential for growth and how modern dating dynamics are shaped by evolutionary principles. If you're looking to level up in life, this conversation is packed with game-changing insights.
