Podcasts about Nice Guys

We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day. October begins with reviews of three very different films: GOOD BOY, a lean and clever horror movie told from a dog's perspective. Indy, who's director and co-writer Ben Leonberg's own retriever, is actually the best boy. And in case you're worried: He's OK at the end. In theaters. PLAY DIRTY, a listless action comedy from director and co-writer Shane Black, who's had a much better track record with this kind of movie in the past ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "The Nice Guys"). Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield lead an ensemble cast. Streaming on Prime Video, but you should avoid it. ARE WE GOOD?, an intimate documentary that looks at the life and career of comedian and "WTF Podcast" host Marc Maron. In particular, it focuses on how he's working through grief after the death of his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton. We liked this. In theaters. Next week is nuts, with about eight movies coming out that have awards potential, or at least year-end buzz. So keep your ears open, and we'll help guide you through this busy time.

It's Strickland's birthday? And I didn't even get him a present. How old is he going to be? Fucking ancient, I'd say, but he and Doug fail to mention an actual age on the episode. You should call 4242-DJ DOUG and leave him a happy birthday message for the show next week, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. If you're anywhere near Katy, TX (West of Houston) on Saturday Oct. 4 between 1-3 you should drop by Dig World and wish him a happy birthday in person.

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, host GG Hawkins sits down with legendary screenwriter and director Shane Black, known for iconic films like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Nice Guys, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The two dive deep into Black's creative process, his latest project Play Dirty (an adaptation of Donald Westlake's Parker novels), and how his filmmaking journey and sobriety have shaped his vision. From staying true to source material while adding his unique voice, to building character-driven action scenes and navigating Hollywood with integrity and purpose, Shane shares invaluable insights for filmmakers at every stage. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Shane Black discuss... What drew Shane to the Parker novels and how he approached adapting them The balance between honoring Westlake's tone and injecting Shane's signature wit How to structure complex stories while preserving ambiguity and character depth Creating blue-collar, competent anti-heroes as a more grounded alternative to spy thrillers The role of pre-visualization, animatics, and spontaneity on set How Shane leads a creative and collaborative environment with his cast and crew The power of post-production and the art of shaping the final story in the edit Building creative stamina and the importance of structure in a writer's day Advice for filmmakers entering a fear-based industry with confidence and authenticity The impact of sobriety and self-awareness on creativity and leadership Memorable Quotes: "Parker is a lot of things. Sentimental is not one of them." "You're comparing your insides with their outside. So they look great... So are they." "You don't die from a feeling.” "Be so good they can't ignore you."

Co-Host Owen Marcus (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/meld) My first-time guest Owen Marcus is a proponent of Polyvagal Theory, which is about how our body and brain work together to respond to stress, be that everyday annoyances or more significant trauma. It has a huge impact on how we as men carry ourselves physically. So you can easily figure out how understanding this theory and the somatic awareness that comes from it would make you more attractive to women. After all, when you gain mastery over your body in the way Owen talks about, your physiology is less likely to, well...sort of betray you. That may sound complex, but Owen describes it all in a way that not only makes perfect sense, but its practical and actionable. For example, this concept finally makes the concept of "emotional availability" more tangible, and even influences how we find ourselves being "Mr. Nice Guy". What is "co-regulation", and why is that social/physical phenomenon central to the whole theory? How does understanding Polyvagal Theory assist us greatly in the quest to make women feel safer and more comfortable with us? What are some physical manifestations of us not being in tune with really feeling what our bodies are telling us? (HINT: A lot of guys make themselves look like dorks without even realizing it.) What does Polyvagal Theory have to do with either you OR her feeling something is just a bit "off"? And how does it finally help us understand what it really means to "relax"? Next, there's fight or flight, or something WAY worse...and we as men do it ALL the time. Meanwhile, how does Polyvagal Theory contribute to being more charismatic? How can it help us not only mesmerize and attract women, but make more male friends as well?

PETE HEGSETH SAYS NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! FEDERAL JUDGE MESSED AROUND IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT! COMEY UPDATE! IT'S ALL ABOUT HILLARY! SHOW #21! 09302025

The underworld is crowded with thieves, but Parker has always stood apart. Created by Donald Westlake in the early 1960s, the character has been portrayed on screen by actors including Lee Marvin, Mel Gibson, and Jason Statham. He's a blunt-force professional who isn't Bond, isn't Batman, but something rougher, hungrier, and coded by his own ruthless blue-collar sense of order. With "Play Dirty," filmmaker Shane Black takes his own crack at Parker, bringing the character to Prime Video on October 1 and casting Mark Wahlberg in the role. The film follows Parker, a ruthless thief, and his expert crew who stumble onto the heist of a lifetime that pits them against the New York mob. The film also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Keegan-Michael Key, Nat Wolff, and more. This version doesn't come with gadgets or acrobatics. Black describes a Parker who thinks fast, hits harder, and feels closer to the blue-collar world than to the spy fantasy. It's the kind of material that lets him indulge his taste for pulp grit, sly humor, and the holiday backdrop he's made famous. But it also opens the door to some bigger questions: what draws audiences to men this uncompromising? How do you make crime fun without sanding off the edges? And what happens when you cast Wahlberg instead of Robert Downey Jr.?READ MORE: ‘All Of You': Brett Goldstein On Love, The Science of Soulmates, ‘Shrinking' Surprises, & ‘Ted Lasso' [The Discourse Podcast]Writer/Director Shane Black joins The Discourse to talk about the journey of bringing his Parker film to the screen, which started all the way back during the making of Black's first film, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2005. When asked what itch hadn't been scratched by earlier adaptations, Black pointed to Parker's uniqueness. “Each one represents the era in which it was produced. 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin is a very specific film for that time period. And each actor who's played Parker from there on, like Robert Duvall, Jason Statham, and Mel Gibson in "Payback." There has been a history of incarnations of this powerful, relentless character. But he's not James Bond, which is why I liked him. He's sort of blue collar. It's almost like an American entrepreneur's story. But he happens to be a really awful, bad person and a criminal anti-hero.”

Men today are facing a silent crisis. Suicide rates are climbing, loneliness is at epidemic levels, and society continues to confuse men about what it truly means to be masculine. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's life coach and Groups for Men co-founder McKenzie Beeby to unpack the cultural forces at play, the hidden dangers of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the tools men need to reclaim their strength, purpose, and faith.   Together, Frank and McKenzie explore the historical roots of the men's crisis, the role of shame and ego, and how distorted views of masculinity fuel brokenness in men's lives. They highlight the importance of community, vulnerability, and brotherhood and provide a roadmap for men who are ready to stop hiding and start living the life they were created for.   About McKenzie Beeby McKenzie Beeby is a life coach for men, speaker, writer, and co-founder of Groups for Men, one of the largest online support communities for men in the U.S. With a background as an entrepreneur, business owner, filmmaker, and mentor, McKenzie has dedicated his life to helping men overcome destructive cultural narratives about masculinity. His mission is to equip men to step into lives of strength, compassion, and integrity by breaking free from Nice Guy Syndrome, healing past wounds, and cultivating brotherhood.     Expect to Learn Why men today are facing the greatest identity crisis in history   The hidden costs of Nice Guy Syndrome — and how it sabotages marriages, careers, and faith How shame and ego create toxic patterns in men's lives The influence of media and cultural narratives on masculinity Why loneliness and isolation fuel addiction, anger, and despair Simple tools men can use to communicate better and live with integrity How vulnerability and brotherhood create true masculine strength The role of faith in helping men reclaim purpose and freedom Why defining success on your terms is key to becoming the man you were created to be   Key Takeaways Men are struggling with rising suicide rates and epidemic loneliness. The men's crisis has historical roots dating back to post–World War II cultural shifts. Success must be clearly defined in today's confused world. Toxic masculinity is often just shame in disguise. Brotherhood and community are non-negotiable for men's growth. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.

We're back to our roots, friends... talking about Nice Guys. And today's subject may just be one of the most notorious Nice Guys I've ever known... and now he has a podcast.    Ned Fulmer was once not just a "nice guy" but a Try Guy. The Try Guys were an uber viral content creation group with 8 million followers, billions of views, and one main character trait - they were nice guys. That is, until Ned was busted doing something... not nice at all.    Three years later, he's back to capitalize on what he did by talking to the person he hurt the most. Buckle up, friends... we're going for a ride.

Nathan Schiess is a personal branding strategist and marketing expert who helps real estate professionals build authority, create visibility, and attract aligned relationships through strategic content. With a background in psychology, personal development, and real estate investing, Nathan blends storytelling and strategy to position his clients as trusted leaders in the industry.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways A personal brand is not vanity — it's a system for communicating credibility to investors. Social media should be treated as a business tool, not a personal diary. High-net-worth individuals invest in people they trust, not just in advertised returns. You don't need tens of thousands of followers — a small, targeted audience can raise millions. Content should focus on solving your ideal client's problems, not showcasing yourself.     Topics From Investor to Branding Expert Nathan built a 40-unit portfolio before transitioning to focus on branding. Learned the importance of documenting and marketing expertise after losing everything in a divorce. Why Personal Branding Matters Without a brand, every investor interaction requires retelling your story. A curated online presence creates confidence and trust before the first meeting. Overcoming Objections to Social Media Branding isn't about you — it's about your Ideal Client Profile (ICP). Being shy or reluctant isn't an excuse if your goals require visibility. Branding can be outsourced like any other business function. Content That Builds Trust Define your ICP clearly and tailor content to their problems, questions, roadblocks, and desired results. Consistency and clarity build authority over time. Followers who won't invest aren't your audience — focus only on those who will. Monetizing Without Vanity Metrics 1,000 quality followers can generate six figures in deal flow. Followers must know exactly how to work with you — clear calls to action are essential. Avoid content that entertains without converting.    

FX and Sterlin Harjo team up again for The Lowdown. We dig into the first two episodes—“The Sensitive Kind” and “The Devil's Mama”—of this Oklahoma dark comedy/noir. Ethan Hawke's battered “truthstorian” Lee Raybon chases the skeletons in the Washberg family's closet. From a sus “suicide” to dodging neo-Nazi haymakers, we break down what worked, what didn't, our favorite moments, and how it connects (and doesn't) to Reservation Dogs. Shout-outs to the acting, some Tulsa texture, and a bunch of quick comparisons (ex: Fargo, The Nice Guys, Bored to Death). Welcome to Today's Episode!

Are you struggling with Nice Guy Syndrome? Always putting others first, avoiding conflict, and trying to please everyone, yet still feeling stuck in love, relationships, or your career? In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Lange, men's embodiment coach and certified No More Mr. Nice Guy coach, to explore the dark side of being the so-called “nice guy.” We dive into why being kind isn't the problem, but rather the hidden patterns of people-pleasing, neglecting your own needs, and suppressing your true desires. If you've ever thought, “I'm doing everything right, so why am I still not getting the results I want in love and life?” this conversation will give you the clarity and tools you need to stop living on autopilot and start showing up with real power, presence, and connection.

The Conservative Movement is striking back. No more "turn the other cheek" as we hunt down those who publicly declared their hatred for us. No more Mr. Nice Guy, and for good reason. We've allowed the Left to wreak havoc long enough, and now the worm has turned. I get joy watching people who thought they were impervious to harm lose their jobs and lose their sh*t.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Woody Allen, a filmmaker whose personal history is already mired in controversy over his marriage to Soon-Yi Previn and long-standing abuse allegations, managed to sink his credibility even further when discussing Jeffrey Epstein. Instead of acknowledging the grotesque reality of Epstein's trafficking network, Allen bizarrely chose to describe Epstein as a “nice guy” and downplayed any evidence of underage girls in his presence. Coming from a man whose own personal life has been a lightning rod for accusations of exploitation, the comments land less like naïveté and more like willful denial—or worse, an attempt at reputation laundering for a known predator. The sheer tone-deafness of calling Epstein “nice” in any capacity betrays either a profound lack of moral clarity or an unsettling affinity for normalizing criminality among the elite.Allen's remarks are not just tasteless; they are revealing. They expose the insular world of celebrity and power where predators are granted the benefit of the doubt simply because of shared social circles and mutual interests. For Allen to stand behind Epstein, even in the softest terms, is to spit in the face of survivors who have spent years fighting to be heard. His choice of words reeks of privilege and self-preservation, signaling to the public that, in his view, the comfort and reputations of men like him matter more than the trauma inflicted on countless young women. These comments confirm what many critics already believe: that Allen remains indifferent, insulated, and dangerously dismissive of crimes that should never be excused, let alone minimized.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Epstein's 'House of Depravity' dinner party with Prince Andrew and Woody Allen: Duke of York was 'a dullard' at star-studded event held after paedophile financier's release from jail | Daily Mail Online

With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc. But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and- "Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy".

The Infinite Escape Room is a comedy escape room podcast where a group of friends make and solve audio escape rooms for one another. It's one part tabletop RPG, one part escape room with a bit of Monkey Island humour sprinkled over the top.

In this candid episode, host Ned Schaut sits down with author and speaker Eric Rogell to confront the trap many fathers fall into—trying to be the “nice guy” who's always liked instead of the man who leads with courage and conviction. Eric shares why advice often misses the mark, and why children need fathers who live out wisdom through the Sacred Seven Core Values: courage, honesty, integrity, commitment, duty, honor, and love. From fatherhood and step-parenting to manhood at “Level 60,” Eric unpacks how dropping the need for approval allows dads to guide their kids with strength, presence, and authenticity. This conversation challenges men to stop chasing validation, embrace their role as mentors, and build a legacy rooted in love and honor.Chapters:00:00:00 – Welcome to Fatherhood Field Notes Podcast00:01:19 – Meet Eric00:03:25 – Late 50s accomplishments: writing a book, producing a documentary00:04:24 – Turning point through meditation and taking command of life00:06:16 – No plans to retire from purposeful work00:07:28 – Untapped wisdom in older, retired men00:08:29 – Difference between advice (head) and wisdom (heart)00:09:47 – Using “wisdom, not advice” by sharing stories and mistakes00:14:25 – Value of letting kids make mistakes: “prepare the child for the road”00:16:35 – Creating healthy challenges, like running an excavator00:18:44 – The Sacred Seven Core Values: Courage, Honesty, Integrity, Commitment, Duty, Honor, Love00:22:26 – The “King and Kingdom” principle: care for yourself to care for family00:25:42 – Navy SEAL lesson on why most commitments fail after five days00:28:10 – Advice for men in the stepfather role00:28:34 –Don't try to be liked; earn respect00:31:25 – Three Lights of Leadership: Friend, Guide, Guardian00:38:14 – What will your kids think of you at 60?00:38:58 – Complex relationship with father: once seen as villain, later as hero00:42:16 – Discovering father's generosity through stories after his passing00:43:37 – Importance of a father's attention, not just time00:46:28 – It's okay to be the “villain” when acting as guardianGuest Link:Lions Raised as Lambs WebsiteEric's WebsiteEric on InstagramLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Ever wonder why the "nice guys" often finish last in love and life? What if everything we've been taught about being likable is actually sabotaging our relationships and success? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Robert Glover to discuss the hidden psychology behind "nice guy syndrome" – and why it's not actually nice at all.  We explore how people-pleasing becomes a manipulative strategy and why women aren't attracted to overly accommodating men. We also discuss why vulnerability with other men is crucial for growth and practical strategies for becoming authentically confident instead of just "nice." Dr. Robert Glover is a licensed marriage and family therapist, bestselling author of "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and founder of men's development programs worldwide. For over 25 years, he's helped thousands of men break free from people-pleasing patterns to become integrated, authentic leaders in their relationships and careers. What We Discuss:  (03:05) What defines a "nice guy" vs. someone who's genuinely nice  (08:27) Why nice guys are often underachievers stuck in middle management  (21:30) What women actually want vs. what nice guys think they want  (32:02) How long before nice guys show their true colors  (42:01) The difference between being nice and being authentic  (46:09) Why successful men can still be "simps" in relationships  (51:27) The dating crisis: why fewer people are in relationships  (57:02) Creating positive emotional tension in relationships  (1:03:17) What makes a strong, lasting relationship work  (1:05:04) Practical strategies for polarizing your partner  (1:13:07) The masculinity crisis and why men are isolated  …and more!

Send us a text[Insert description here]Breaking free from narcissistic abuse requires recognizing patterns most of us never knew had names. Laura spent 33 years married to someone everyone thought was "such a nice guy" while enduring emotional manipulation, constant boundary violations, and the slow erosion of her self-worth behind closed doors.On this raw and illuminating episode, Laura shares how she finally found the courage to leave after experiencing what she now recognizes as a "reverse discard" – a manipulative tactic where narcissists orchestrate situations to make victims appear responsible for ending relationships. This allows them to control the narrative and play victim while avoiding accountability for their actions.The conversation explores the painful reality of trauma bonding, where victims become psychologically attached to their abusers through cycles of intermittent reinforcement. Laura describes how gaslighting left her questioning her own perceptions for decades, only to have memories surface after divorce when her brain finally felt safe enough to process them. This delayed recognition is common among survivors who often don't realize they were in abusive relationships until they've escaped them.Beyond the trauma, this episode offers profound hope for healing and reinvention. Laura transformed her experience into purpose by becoming a coach, author, and podcast host helping other midlife women recover from narcissistic relationships. She discusses how writing her book "Married to a Nice Guy" became part of her healing journey, allowing her to document her growth while helping others recognize similar patterns in their lives.For anyone who has ever minimized their dreams, walked on eggshells to keep the peace, or felt the confusion of loving someone who treats them poorly, this conversation offers validation, understanding, and a roadmap to reclaiming your life. As Laura powerfully demonstrates, midlife after narcissistic abuse isn't the end of your story – it's potentially the beginning of your most authentic and joyful chapter yet.Ready to heal from betrayal trauma or toxic relationships?

Dr. Phil has a new hobby: ICE raids. The daytime television fixture bewildered fans when he began touring with the Trump campaign last year, ending his decades-long streak as a seemingly apolitical celebrity. Like so many 2000s stars, Dr. Phil has found a career revival in right-wing media, advocating for everything from deportations to zionism. But what could explain such a radical shift from the man who spent decades trying to bring families together? In this episode, the inimitable Aubrey Gordon and I take a journey through the 2000s, encountering a motley crew including Oprah, Bhad Bhabie, and Benjamin Netanyahu along the way. Come to find out, the Dr. Phil we know now is the Dr. Phil we knew all along. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon! Thanks to today's sponsors! Sleep and dream well!

So what does today's title mean? You'll have to ask Carnac the Magnificent! Don't know who Carnac the Magnificent is (which is not surprising, because if you did, you probably wouldn't know what a "podcast" is)? That's Johnny Carson's Tonight Show character that Doug likes to quote. OK, spoiler alert, the answer is "What is today's episode about." Now you're probably thinking "But I thought it was a bit and it was supposed to be funny?" Well, that's true, but that was no less funny than most of Carson's jokes. Don't believe me? Here, check out a clip: Carnac The Magnificent - Yahoo Serious, Turner and Hooch, and Hershey Bar | Carson Tonight ShowAnd if you'll be anywhere near Austin or Houston, TX on Oct. 4, you can meet Doug and Strickland in person and drive some cool construction equipment.

Filmmaker Christopher Jason Bell (Miss Me Yet, Attention Shoppers) joins us to discuss Last Action Hero, a meta action comedy featuring too many ideas, a healthy serving of great jokes, and a fascinating reckoning for its star Arnold Schwarzenegger as he was aging into the second act of his movie star career. We begin with a conversation about the action hero vehicle, its dominance in the 1980s, and its turn to self-reference and parody in the early 1990s. Then, we explore Last Action Hero's bizarre combination of action movie tropes and lighter cartoon comedy logic that makes its satirical targets more difficult to identify. After, we address the ways the film incidentally exonerates itself from some of the more ideologically thorny tendencies of police films by embracing fantasy and drawing attention to its artifice. Finally, we spend some time discussing Chris's latest brilliant and beautiful film Failed State, how its component parts all came together, and what it means to be a filmmaker in our moment of constant crises and social alienation.Follow Christopher Jason Bell on TwitterWatch Chris's films on Means.tv Watch the trailer for Failed StateGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

Our culture says kindness is about being nice, agreeable, and making people feel good. But what if that definition is actually making men weak? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick and Garrett tackle the misunderstood fruit of the Spirit—kindness.They dive into the original Greek meaning of the word, chrestotes, which points to being useful, beneficial, and fit for service. Real kindness isn't about avoiding hard truths—it's about speaking life, giving what's needed (not just what feels good), and helping people grow even when it stings.From mountain hikes and brotherly banter to biblical examples like Jesus and the rich young ruler, this conversation will challenge your view of kindness and equip you to live it out God's way. What you'll learn in this episode:Why cultural kindness is about feelings but biblical kindness is about purpose.How to discern when telling hard truth is real love.Why being “liked” is a poor substitute for being useful.Practical ways men can embody Spirit-led kindness in their homes, friendships, and leadership.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Apply to join Giant Killers here if you're a man that wants real accountability and training to become a leader.Level up your greatest asset with us in Mindset Mastery.

Should We Legalize Prostitution? The Sexual Frustration Crisis Men Are FacingThis episode tackles one of the most controversial questions of our time: Should prostitution be legal? But it's not just about policy — it's about the sexual shame, frustration, and isolation that's destroying men in silence.Faisal, Chuck, and Ari dive deep into the reality that most people won't discuss: Men are sexually starving in sexless marriages, endless single streaks, and a culture that celebrates women's emotional needs while shaming men's physical ones.What we unpack:Why men have 20x more testosterone but nowhere to express their sexual needs without being labeled "creepy" or "predatory"The double standard: Women get therapy, safe spaces, and sex toys while men get shame and secrecyHow sexual repression creates the very dysfunction we're trying to avoid — porn addiction, affairs, and dark obsessionsReal stories from strip clubs and escort experiences that reveal what men are actually seeking (hint: it's not always what you think)The difference between sexual gratification and true intimacy — and why men confuse the twoWhat happens when couples have mismatched sex drives and one partner holds the other "hostage"Whether legalizing prostitution would help or hurt men's ability to form real relationshipsThe hard questions: Is denying men a healthy sexual outlet forcing them into dysfunction? Are we already "paying for sex" through expensive dates and gifts? If women can seek emotional support outside marriage, why can't men seek physical release?This isn't about promoting or condemning — it's about having the honest conversation that society refuses to have. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge how you think about male sexuality, relationship dynamics, and what we actually need versus what we think we want.Warning: This conversation goes places most won't. If you're uncomfortable discussing male sexual needs openly, this episode will push your boundaries. But that discomfort might be exactly what you need to examine.Subscribe to the Nice Guy Show newsletter to get tips and insights on how to lead a high-value life:https://niceguyshow.com/Connect with Faisal Khokhar:https://masculine.co/https://instagram.com/coachfaisalkhttps://youtube.com/@coachfaisalkConnect with Chuck Chapman: https://chuckchapman.com/https://instagram.com/chuckchapman.ma/https://youtube.com/@chuckchapmanConnect with Dr. Ari Graff:https://drarigraff.com/https://draribgraff.com/register [divorce recovery program]https://youtube.com/@AriGraff

Lauren sits down with Pete Nordstrom, co-C.E.O. of the Seattle-based department store group. They cover a ton of ground, from how he got into the family business, to how the company has remained family run for four generations (without that much trouble). They also discuss the recent take-private, the state of multi-brand retail, Sir Phillip Green (pre-cancelation), Pete's hiring philosophy, the hardworking Rickie De Sole, why he still loves being a merchant (really), and plenty, plenty more.

If you listen all the way through, you'll hear that they boys cut the episode because Doug needed to meet a college student to cut his palm fronds down. Guess what? Total scam! Well, not a "total" scam, but it wasn't a "struggling college student" as advertised, it was a full-blown landscaping company that wanted $750.00 to do about 30 minutes of work. That's some bull-shit, I'm sure he'll talk about it more on next week's episode. Do you want some cool merch?

Co-Host Frank Kermit (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/franktalks) He's Frank because he has to be. After years and years, I finally have my long-time friend Frank Kermit back on the show. He has always been about straight talk when it comes to women, men, sex, dating and relationships...which is probably why he and I made friends immediately and that friendship has endured. In this long-overdue episode, we talk about the strange rise in bitter, hurt, resentful people--both men and women--and how so many of us got this way. Resentment is the quiet poison that eats men alive. It wrecks your masculine presence, makes you unattractive to women, and slowly destroys your edge in life. Naturally, we kick off the conversation with a searing discourse on self-imposed limiting beliefs, and how the media actually reinforces them. And then, what's with all those long checklists women schlep with them on dates? And on the other hand, why is it that the less success with women a guy has had, the "pickier" he might become? And what's up really going on when we play "Whack-A-Mole" with one excuse after another for not succeeding with women, to the point where we just get angry rather than actually doing something about it? Why is it so true that 'hurt people hurt people'? And what if 'Mr. Nice Guy' really has something pent up under the surface? As it turns out, getting over any resentment that's built up within us--especially toward our family and women--has to come from a place of genuine desire, not to mention raw, masculine courage. Does that mean actually confronting those who have hurt you? That's for you to decide. If you've been into men's dating and relationship stuff for years, you might wonder why you haven't heard from Frank in a few years. Well, as it turns on he was on one hell of a personal journey...losing 260 pounds (!) You'll get the lowdown on that as well.

Margaret Qualley is a true one-of-a-kind force in film and television. Her work is always appointment viewing because her filmography is brimming with variety and unique characters that challenge her to swing big in new ways. From The Leftovers and The Nice Guys to The Substance and Honey Don't, those roles don't work unless they're filled with an actor willing to pour every ounce of themself into bringing them to life on screen, and that right there is a consistent truth of Qualley's work.In her latest, Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke's Drive-Away Dolls follow-up film, Honey Don't, Qualley headlines as the title character. Honey is a private investigator in Bakersfield, California who gets caught up in a series of deaths tied to a mysterious church. With the help of her assistant (Gabby Beans), Honey's attempt to crack the case puts her in Reverend Drew Devlin's (Chris Evans) orbit and overlaps with her budding relationship with Aubrey Plaza's MG, and her role as a supportive sister and aunt to Kristen Connolly and Talia Ryder's characters respectively.With Honey Don't now playing in theaters nationwide, Qualley joined me for a Collider Ladies Night chat during which we revisited her days as a dancer, including what prompted the switch to focus on acting. She also looks back on memorable lessons learned making The Leftovers and The Nice Guys, considers how working on The Substance changed her, and talked about her top-tier scene partners in Honey Don't.
