The ManTalks Podcast - 63: Joe Solmonese Joe Solmonese is a fighter. Just ask President Obama (we talk about this in the interview).  Under Joe Solmonese's leadership, the Human Rights Campaign (the largest LGBT civil rights organization in the United States) became the model other organizations look toward to create effective social and political change. By using the anger raging from the social injustices he was witnessing, the anger of his adversaries and his followers, HRC was instrumental in passing landmark national legislation such as the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act; repealing “Don't Ask, Don't Tell”; and passing marriage equality acts in eight states. How did Solmonese do it? In our interview Solmonese tells Roger that for him, the key to success was learning to harness his anger. Essentially it's just a form of energy.

Zachary Stockill is an award-winning Canadian researcher, writer, podcaster, and educator. Zachary is the author of Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy and discusses with Roger a lot of the shame men experience when trying to find resources or help to overcome their irrational jealousy. Zachary knows the subject all too well because he too was once a man who obsessed over his then-girlfriend's past. Discover more about the unhealthy and obsessive habits jealous men often fall into.   Key Takeaways: [2:20] What was one of Zachary's defining moments? [5:05] What does Zachary do? [4:50] Zachary unpacks what 'retroactive jealousy' means. [7:00] Out of nowhere, Zachary came up with ridiculous scenarios about his then-girlfriend and became jealous.  [8:00] Despite realizing his jealousy, Zachary couldn't find the right resources that would address this issue for him. [8:20] Both men and woman experience this equally. [9:35] Men tend to have extreme double standards towards women who have done the same sort of sexual activities men have done in the past.

[14:50] Sometimes people lie about their past just to sooth their partner. [15:30] Own your problem. This is not your partner's problem. [17:40] Some men might believe that if they hooked up with an angel of a woman, then their relationship would be so much better. Of course, this is just not true. [19:10] There's a lot of shame around jealousy. Zachary still feels ashamed by the way he used to act. [19:15] What can men do to open up this conversation? [19:25] A lot of men don't have real friends. [20:10] The problem doesn't resolve on its own. You have to step in and do the work. [21:00] Keep focusing on personal development. Focus on your insecurities. [21:30] Meditation is huge! [22:25] The reality is we're never going to be perfect. The learning never stops. [23:05] How does Roger stay off depression? [24:20] Make an effort to be friends with older men. Seek out worldly people. [27:55] What gets Zachary out of bed every day? [29:25] When Zachary first wrote the book, he wrote it under a pen name.   Mentioned in This Episode: www.mantalks.com/ info@ManTalks.ca www.zfstockill.com/ www.retroactivejealousy.com/ www.travelsinmusic.com/   Music Credit: Parlange & Latenite Automatic (www.jesusparlange.com – www.lateniteautomatic.com)

Greg McKeown is the author of Essentialism and the CEO of THIS Inc., a leadership and strategy design agency located in Silicon Valley. Greg tells the audience that if you want to break through to the next level and contribute more to your life, you must go big on fewer things. If you say yes to everything, you will simply stretch yourself too thin and exhaust yourself.    Key Takeaways: [2:55] Don't forget ManTalks is hosting another event! [4:25] What was Greg's defining moment? [7:00] Our failures lead to some of our biggest lessons. [8:10] The only time we really learn is when we have expectation failure. [9:05] True wealth is the ability to be present at any given moment. [9:20] Don't let a defining moment in your life pass you by. [10:00] Are you just too busy living to think about life? [10:30] Greg believes there's only two kinds of people in this world – the people who are lost and the people who know they're lost. [10:50] To be in the second category requires humility, self-awareness, and courage. [11:45] Don't run on auto pilot. [17:15] The first part of the book goes into the mindset of an essentialist. [20:15] How can we accomplish more things that are important to us? [21:05] An essentialist explores their options. [21:55] An essentialist is very aware they have the ability to choose. [26:45] Who really spends years working on a single masterpiece project? [31:15] Our society is very achievement-based and we've been rewired to accomplish it all. [32:00] What's possible when you start practicing the principles of essentialism? [34:05] If you say yes to everything, you cannot contribute to your highest ability. [34:25] If you try to do it all, you'll just do it averagely well. [35:45] When given the choice, people will choose fewer things done better.

[59:35] Stop making this journey about you, start making it about other people. [63:50] Letting go and giving up are two very, very different things.
