    Podcast Summary

    • Focus on making meaningful connections in datingInstead of focusing on the negatives, focus on making genuine connections and enjoying the journey towards finding love.

      While we cannot control when we meet the right person, we can control our attitude and approach towards dating. It's natural to feel contradictory emotions towards dating, wanting to find love but hating the process. Many of us dislike the idea of spending hours on dating apps or participating in activities we're not interested in just for the sake of meeting someone. This can be compared to other aspects of life, such as wanting wealth but disliking the hassle of starting a business or wanting an action hero body but hating the gym. However, it's important to remember that even if we don't see immediate results, every effort we make towards dating counts. Just like going to the gym or building a business, progress may not be instant, but it's still a step towards our goal. So, instead of focusing on the negative aspects of dating, let's focus on making meaningful connections with people and enjoying the journey towards finding love.

    • Finding value in dating experiencesEmbrace new experiences in dating as valuable, not just for finding love but also for personal growth

      In our love lives, it's easy to feel like every effort we put in is a waste of time if we don't find the person we're looking for. However, it's important to remember that the experiences we gain from these efforts have value beyond just finding love. Engaging in new activities, even if they're outside of our comfort zone, can enrich our lives and give us new things to talk about. As Anthony Bourdain showed us through his travels and adventures, embracing new experiences can be a way of "dating life" itself. So next time you feel disillusioned with the dating scene, try to focus on the value of the experiences you're having, rather than just the end goal of finding a partner.

    • Connecting with diverse individuals and spreading positivityEngage with diverse people, give energy to spread positivity, and learn to say no to negative influences for a richer, more fulfilling life

      We can draw inspiration from Anthony Bourdain's approach to connecting with people and apply it to our own lives. First, by making an effort to engage with diverse individuals, we can enrich our experiences and broaden our horizons. Second, by focusing on giving energy for the sake of spreading positivity, we can attract people and create a more generous and joyful spirit. Lastly, learning to say no to those who do not serve our best interests will help us conserve energy and make room for more meaningful relationships. Ultimately, by embracing these principles, we can live richer, more fulfilling lives and make a positive impact on those around us.

    • Control the number of people we meet and hold on to the right oneDespite uncontrollable circumstances, focus on growing and adapting in love life, keep moving forward and never give up.

      While we cannot control when we meet the right person, we can control how many people we meet and how long we hold on to the wrong ones. It's okay to take breaks or slow down, but don't let those breaks become dead ends. Focus on the person who will appreciate your love and persistence in the future. This year has been a time of adaptation, and while some changes have been forced upon us, we also have the power to consciously adapt and grow. Remember, even during difficult times, there is someone out there hoping to meet someone like you. So keep moving forward and never give up on your love life. Additionally, the video was recorded pre-COVID but released now as a reminder that adaptation is a necessary part of life, and we all have the power to decide how we will grow and change from the challenges we face.

    • Virtual Retreat: Overcoming Challenges and Thriving in ChangeAmidst the challenges of COVID-19, a virtual retreat offers an opportunity for personal growth and transformation, helping attendees adapt and thrive in the new reality.

      Despite the challenges brought about by COVID-19, including financial constraints, logistical issues, and personal responsibilities, people now have the opportunity to attend a retreat and work on their personal growth. The retreat, which is going virtual for the first time, aims to help attendees conquer their existing challenges and adapt to the new realities of the world. The speaker, who is also committed to using this process to reset her own life, invites everyone to join her in this journey of transformation. The retreat is not just about coping with the current situation, but thriving in it and turning it into something beautiful. To learn more, visit the virtual retreat website.

    (Rewind): Why We Get Attracted to the Wrong People

    Do you ever find yourself getting attracted to people who are unavailable (emotionally or otherwise)? Treat you poorly? Or simply aren’t interested in you?

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…
    Sometimes we avoid speaking up about what we really want with a person because we're afraid we will "make waves" in the relationship.

    We come from a place of fear and anxiety. "What if me telling him I want something to be different makes him walk away altogether?" we think to ourselves.

    So we ignore the conversation and silently suffer.

    But then nothing gets better. We just put off the conversation for another day while time keeps moving on.
    If this is you, this episode is for you.

    (Rewind): Ready to Give Up on Dating? Watch This . . .
    I can’t tell you how many times a week someone online says to me: “Matthew, I’ve had enough. I’m just going to give up on dating altogether.”

    It may be because they are sick of getting their heart broken. It may be that they are exhausted from going on dates that don’t go anywhere, or online conversations that never even get to the point of a date in the first place.

    It could be the frustration of never meeting people they have true chemistry with, or when they finally do, discovering that they aren’t looking for a relationship.

    If you feel any of these things, I made this for you.
