In this Dear Guyset episode, I answer the questions guys actually search for but rarely say out loud.

I start with a big one: how to handle farting in a relationship, especially early on when you are trying to avoid making things awkward. Then I get into commitment anxiety and the real question behind it: how do you know if you are ready for a relationship, or are you just scared you will mess up something good?

I also break down what it means if a girl likes your Instagram story, why an Instagram story like can be a form of indirect flirting, and what to do when it feels like the ball is suddenly in your court.

I talk about dating uncertainty, mixed messages, rejection, and the pressure guys feel to have everything figured out before they commit. Just the honest perspective from someone who has been there and is still figuring it out too.

The questions I answer timestamped:

02:32 – How do you handle farting in a relationship?
09:27 – What does it mean if a girl likes your Instagram story?
14:03 – She said she's not ready for a relationship. Is that a cop-out?
18:37 – How do I know if I'm ready for a relationship?
29:59 – My girlfriend never plans dates. How do I ask her to plan more?

Feeling jealous of a friend and not sure what that says about you? In this episode, I break down what jealousy actually means, why it shows up, and how it can reveal way more about your life than you think.

This question came straight from a listener who asked, Is it bad to be jealous of my friend? My short answer is no. My real answer needed a full episode. A lot of guys wonder the same thing and also ask, Why do I get jealous of my friends and how do I stop it? Jealousy is one of the most common emotions guys feel, and most of us have no idea what to do with it.

I talk about why "jealousy is rooted in insecurity. And I mean deeply rooted in insecurity" and how it can function as an indicator, a mirror, or even a motivator if you learn how to use it. I also get into the messy parts no one wants to admit. The comparisons. The resentment. The quick thoughts you do not mean but still feel.

By the end of this episode, you will walk away knowing what your jealousy is actually trying to tell you and how to turn it into something positive instead of something that eats at your confidence.

If you have ever compared yourself to a friend, felt behind, or wondered why someone else has something you want, this one will hit home. And like I say in the episode, "If one person's thinking that, at least 10 or a million other guys are feeling that way too."

Ever wanted to borrow someone's confidence? Well now you can. In this episode, I break down the mindset shift that helped me stop overthinking, start taking action, and actually feel more confident in situations I used to avoid altogether. If you've ever looked at someone and wondered how they walk into a room like they belong there, or how they talk to people so easily, or how they seem unfazed by the things that make you second guess yourself, this episode is for you.

I talk about what "borrowing confidence" really means and why it is the most practical version of fake it till you make it. You can literally try on someone else's confidence the same way you'd try on a jacket. You study what they do, you put the mindset on for a few minutes, and you see how it fits. And if it works, it becomes yours. If it doesn't, you return it and try something else. It is that simple.

In this episode, I share exactly how I used this idea in real life. Learning how to speak up in meetings by watching someone with decades more experience. Borrowing someone's social confidence to walk up to a girl at a bar. Using Alix Earle's consistency framework to build my own posting schedule. And most recently, channeling Emma Chamberlain on a red carpet while interviewing the Succession cast for the first time. All of it came from studying people who already had what I wanted and using their momentum to build my own.

This episode is packed with real examples, practical stories, and a clear framework you can use today. Borrow someone's confidence. Borrow their mindset. Borrow their discipline. Borrow whatever trait you need until it becomes yours. That is how you build the version of yourself you've been trying to become.

If you feel stuck, unsure of yourself, dealing with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, or tired of wondering why other people seem so confident, start here. Confidence is not something you wait for. It is something you borrow until it becomes part of you.

See you guys next Tuesday!

In this episode, I talk about what actually happens when you feel stuck in life, why motivation disappears, and how to rebuild momentum when you feel burnt out or unsure of yourself. I walk through the moments where you lose belief in your abilities, the pressure guys put on themselves, the end-of-year slump, and the thoughts that make you question what you're doing.

I also break down the mindset shifts that help you get unstuck in a way that finally feels practical. You'll learn how to recognize when you're in a fixed mindset, how burnout affects your sense of direction, and why getting out of a rut is something you practice one small step at a time, not something you magically wake up feeling ready for.

Then I introduce the idea that changed everything for me: You can borrow momentum. You can borrow belief. You can look at someone you admire, study how they started, and borrow the patterns they use to move forward. It's the simplest way to find clarity again when you feel disconnected from yourself. I'll be following up on this idea in next week's episode eyes emoji!

If you've been wondering things like:

• Why do I feel stuck right now
• How do I get out of a rut
• Why does my motivation disappear
• How do I feel like myself again
• What mindset shifts actually help

Then this episode is for you.

By the end, you'll have real tools you can use today. You'll know how to act like the person you want to become, how to borrow pieces of someone else's momentum while you build your own, and how to make small mindset shifts that help you move forward again.

This is your guide to getting unstuck, finding clarity, and rebuilding your momentum one choice at a time.

Dating should be simple, but somehow it never is. In this Dear Guyset episode, I'm answering the questions guys actually deal with every week. How long should you wait after she cancels a date? What do you text after getting her number at a bar? And what are you supposed to do when someone you like suddenly starts pulling back or straight up ghosts you?

I talk through the mistakes most guys make when a date gets rescheduled, what the first text should really sound like, how to keep the momentum going, and the signs that she might be losing interest. I also break down what ghosting usually means, how to respond without overthinking it, and how to move forward with your confidence intact.

If you've ever stared at your phone trying to figure out the right move, this episode will help you understand timing, tone, and what actually matters when you like someone. Think of this as your guide for rescheduling dates, sending the first text, dealing with the aftermath of getting ghosted, and many more.

Ever had a conversation go so badly that you replay it in your head for days? In this episode, I'm sharing my most awkward networking moment yet: approaching a successful movie producer and completely fumbling the interaction. From forgetting everything I planned to say to asking cringe-worthy questions, this is a masterclass in what NOT to do when introducing yourself to someone successful.

But here's the thing: awkward moments are still better than never trying at all. I break down why I'm glad I went for it, what I learned about pitching yourself on the spot, and how to build confidence when approaching people out of your league. Whether you're navigating networking events, professional conferences, or just want to get better at introducing yourself, this episode covers the uncomfortable truth about making connections in your 20s.

I share how to prepare better introductions, what to say when you meet someone influential, and why embarrassing yourself is actually part of the process. Plus, I talk through practical tips for following up after awkward interactions and turning nervous energy into action.

Topics I cover:

• Networking strategies for guys in their 20s
• How to introduce yourself to successful people
• Overcoming social anxiety at professional events
• Career development and making meaningful connections
• Learning from awkward social moments
• Building confidence in uncomfortable situations

In this episode, I talk with Simon Gervais, a former counterterrorism agent who once protected presidents like Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II, and Ryan Steck, founder of The Real Book Spy. Together, they co-wrote the new book, The Second Son coming December 1st.

What happens when you leave a life of danger for a life of storytelling? Simon opens up about trading high-stakes operations for high-stakes writing, how discipline still drives everything he does, and why believing in yourself sometimes means betting it all. Ryan shares what it was like to go from critic to creator, how he deals with self-doubt, and why collaboration can make you sharper.

We get into:

• How to push through fear when there's no safety net
• The mindset shift from control to creativity
• The truth about ambition, burnout, and purpose
• Why discipline and self-belief matter more than motivation

If you've ever wondered how to reinvent yourself or stay grounded under pressure, this one's for you. It's about learning to keep your edge, build discipline that lasts, and create a life that actually feels worth living.

I've been on both sides of the hiring table recently, and I'm sharing exactly what makes candidates stand out (and what makes them forgettable) in today's virtual interview world.

This isn't your typical "straighten your tie and walk into a high-rise" interview advice. This is real talk about going from your bathroom to your Zoom call and still landing the job. I'm breaking down the interview turn-ons and turn-offs I've noticed while conducting interviews, plus the confidence strategies that actually work when you're nervous.

You'll learn:

• Why being yourself beats "perfect" prepared answers every time
• The biggest mistakes candidates make in virtual interviews
• How to stand out when competing against dozens of similar applicants
• Confidence hacks to use right before you hit "join meeting"
• What to do after the interview to leave a lasting impression

Whether you're fresh out of college, between jobs, or ready for a career change, this episode gives you the insider perspective most job seekers never get to hear. I wish I'd heard this type of advice when I was in college. Perfect to listen to right before your next interview.

New episodes every Tuesday covering career advice, lifestyle, dating, and everything us guys in our twenties (and beyond) should be talking about.
