In today's episode, we dive into a powerful truth: becoming more magnetic and attractive doesn't require abs, money, or status—it starts with how you see yourself. If you've ever felt like you're just not desirable enough, that something is wrong with you, or that others wouldn't want to be close to the “real you,” this conversation will shift everything. Dr. Aziz shares his personal journey from years of insecurity, social anxiety, and rejection to finding genuine freedom and connection. You'll discover why your belief that you're not attractive is the actual block—not your looks, your personality, or your past. The secret? A willingness to let yourself be seen and known. And not just intellectually, but emotionally—fully and courageously. If you want more magnetism, more connection, and more real confidence in every area of life—from friendships to dating to your career—this episode is for you. Tune in now, and take the first step toward living life unhidden.------------------ Most people think being magnetic and attractive is about perfect abs, flawless hair, or saying all the right things. But the truth is, the biggest obstacle to your natural magnetism isn't your appearance at all—it's what you believe about yourself. In this post, you'll discover why your “fantasy self” is quietly sabotaging your confidence and how you can start becoming irresistible right now, without changing who you are. The Biggest Block to Attraction (And It's Not Your Looks) When I ask clients why they hesitate to approach someone, they'll grimace and say, “It's not going to go well.” Underneath that is a story: I'm not magnetic, I'm not attractive, and I'm not desirable. This story creates a trap. We tell ourselves, “I'll finally put myself out there when I'm thinner, richer, more interesting, or more confident.” That version of you—your “fantasy self”—never gets anxious, always knows what to say, and looks amazing. Until you become that version, you stay hidden. But here's the cost: life passes you by. You miss out on connection, love, friendships, and opportunities that are available right now. The real obstacle isn't that people wouldn't be drawn to you—it's that you're telling yourself you're not attractive enough to try. The Real Secret to Being Magnetic: Willingness to Be Seen and Known Let me give you the great secret right now: attraction begins with a willingness to let yourself be seen and known. Being “seen and known” isn't dumping your deepest trauma on a first date. It's showing your aliveness—your thoughts, your feelings, your humor, your enthusiasm—in the moment. It's being curious about someone else while allowing them to experience you. Most people try to connect without vulnerability. They hide behind a performance, hoping to look perfect enough to earn approval. That doesn't create magnetism; it creates distance. Real magnetism is showing up as yourself—5% more real than you were yesterday. My Turning Point (And Why It Matters to You) I know this because I lived it. For over a decade, from middle school into college, I believed I was unattractive and undesirable. Even when a girl clearly showed interest—like the first time someone kissed me at a sleepover—I avoided her the next morning. My story (“she'd never really want me”) was stronger than reality. Later, I dove into pickup advice, learning how to act bold and impressive. It helped me get dates but not real relationships. Why? Because I was still hiding my true self. It wasn't until my late 20s, when I began practicing vulnerability, that everything shifted. You don't need to wait as long as I did. The sooner you practice letting yourself be seen and known—even a little—the sooner you become naturally magnetic. Your Action Step: Be 5% More Real This week, don't try to overhaul your whole personality. Instead, experiment with being just 5% more real. Share a genuine thought or feeling when you'd normally stay guarded. Show a little more curiosity, warmth, or enthusiasm in your next conversation. It's not about being perfect. It's about gently retraining your nervous system to see that revealing yourself is safe—and often rewarding. Closing Inspiration You don't have to wait until you're flawless to be magnetic. You're already more attractive than you think. All it takes is the courage to be a little more real, a little more open, and a lot more you. And if you're excited to go deeper into these skills, stay tuned: in October I'll be leading a live, virtual workshop called Supremely Confident Conversation Master where we'll practice these tools together in real time. Pencil in the dates—October 10th–12th—you won't want to miss it. Until then, remember: have the courage to be who you are. On a deep level, you're awesome.
#16. What was Notre Dame like before Viollet-le-Duc's 19th Century restoration? Was it worth visiting or just a crumbling ruin to be ignored? And were the guidebooks of the day accurate or even more creative than today's social media “guides”? Join us as we rejoin David W. Bartlett's travel adventures in mid-19th Century Paris (and correct some of his “history” along the way)!Speaking of corrections, yes, I did indeed misspeak the name of Bartlett's book.

What does it take to create a convincing bare metal finish without tearing your hair out? How can simple pencils transform your weathering game? And is it even possible to complete a quality model in just 48 hours?In this episode, we're joined by Chris Wallace of Model Airplane Maker fame to tackle some of modeling's most intriguing challenges. Chris shares his surprising success using Vallejo metallics for bare metal finishes—a method that proves both bulletproof against masking and remarkably straightforward to apply. The secret? A proper black base coat, vigorous shaking, and a wider spray pattern that delivers smooth, consistent coverage.We also dive into the subtle art of pencil chipping techniques, where Chris candidly admits his journey from creating "airplane measles" to achieving realistic wear patterns. The key insights? Keep those pencil points razor-sharp and work from good reference photos that show authentic wear patterns. This approach delivers scale-appropriate weathering that can be easily adjusted or completely removed if things go awry—a rare second chance in the modeling world.The conversation shifts to the concept of speed builds, with Dave revealing plans for a five-day Hellcat build challenge with fellow modeler Jim Bates. We debate the merits of compressed building timelines, strategic approaches to quick builds, and how to select appropriate subjects for these time-limited projects. Whether you're a methodical builder or someone looking to increase your completion rate, there's wisdom here for every approach.From upcoming model shows to exciting new kit announcements (including Fine Molds' eagerly anticipated F-104), this episode celebrates both the technical challenges and pure joy of scale modeling. Join us for an hour of insights, techniques, and the camaraderie that makes this hobby so rewarding.What's your most challenging modeling technique? Have you ever attempted a speed build?

What if the real revolution isn't coming from the Left — but from the forgotten champions of free markets and personal freedom?In this special edition of Despatch, former Conservative MP Steve Baker lays out a bold and urgent case for a political reawakening. With the UK economy stumbling under the weight of high taxes, ballooning debt, and bureaucratic drift, Steve argues that the real danger isn't populism — it's the slow death of freedom under a stifling managerial consensus.Launching his new movement Fighting for a Free Future, Steve says we're facing a huge crisis and we need a paradigm shift: a return to the principles that once lifted billions out of poverty and could do so again — if only we had the courage to unleash them.Drawing inspiration from Leonard Read's classic essay "I, Pencil" and Argentina's dramatic turnaround under President Javier Milei, this episode is a passionate reminder that voluntary cooperation, not state coercion, lies at the heart of human progress.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Have you ever wondered what true generosity looks like in God's eyes? In a powerful message, Pastor Pencil challenges the conventional view that generosity is solely about financial giving. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:6-15, he reveals that authentic generosity flows from a transformed heart and encompasses our time, talents, and treasure. Through the compelling example of the Macedonian churches, who gave sacrificially despite their poverty, Pencil illustrates how genuine generosity stems from understanding God's abundant grace rather than our material wealth. He shares a touching personal story about his "Grandpa Van," who, though unable to give financially, faithfully prayed daily at 10 AM – demonstrating that impactful giving takes many forms. Pencil weaves together biblical wisdom and practical application, emphasizing that investing in eternity requires remaking our mindset, recognizing God's generous character, and reproducing that generosity in our own lives. The message culminates in a clear call to action: stop merely thinking about giving and start living generously today, understanding that everything we have is a gift from God and every act of generosity is an act of worship.

There's a tiny tool in your backpack with a giant history. In this kid-friendly history-sode, Auntie Jo Jo traces the pencil's journey from a 1500s graphite discovery in England to the first wooden pencils in Germany, the invention of the rubber eraser, and why so many pencils are painted yellow.We'll also peek at how pencils helped soldiers, artists, and even early astronauts put ideas on paper—anywhere.Sources used:Encyclopaedia Britannica — “Pencil” (history, materials, manufacturing)Smithsonian Magazine — “Why Are Pencils Yellow?” (branding and 19th-century graphite trade)Royal Society of Chemistry — Joseph Priestley and the discovery of “rubber” for erasing (1770)NASA History Office — Early writing tools in space (pencils and later pressurized pens)Henry Petroski, The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance (Knopf)
