We grow up learning to say the right things. Nobody teaches us that the majority of what we actually communicate has nothing to do with our words. Body language accounts for over 50% of all human communication. It was running the show long before spoken language existed and women are wired to read it at a primal level.

In this episode we are giving you both sides of the loop. How to own yours the gait, the posture, the eye contact, the handshake, and the shoe rule my grandfather taught me at 14. And how to read hers. Preening, the feet compass, when she closes the gap, and what it all means.

This isn't from a textbook. It's 27 years of Ryan the Founder of Maxximus living it. He has been on thousands of one-on-one sales calls where his livelihood depended on reading people correctly, and roughly a thousand first dates learning what worked and what killed attraction before he said a single word.

Listen to this episode and you will know things that most men will go their entire lives without knowing. Use them.

In this weeks episode we cover Flow State. What it is, how to get into flow and how to stay there.

Flow state makes you five times more productive and dissolves self-doubt completely. Most men have felt it very few know how to engineer it.

In this episode, Maxximus founder Ryan Poole breaks down the science of flow state, his personal arc from hockey and baseball at age 12 to freediving at 75 feet to the 60-day flow streak building Maxximus in March and April of this year and the exact conditions you need to build more of it into your life.

What we cover:
• What flow state actually is (Csikszentmihalyi's research + the neuroscience)
• Why your prefrontal cortex going quiet is the secret
• The four conditions that have to align at the same time
• The challenge-skill balance: the channel where flow lives
• The four phases — Struggle, Release, Flow, Recovery
• Ryan's full personal arc: hockey, baseball, tennis, bow hunting, freediving, building Maxximus
• The 60-day flow streak — what made it the longest sustained flow of his life
• How to engineer flow on purpose

The Male Friendship Recession | Ep. 8

63% of men under 30 are single. 15% of men report having no close friends. And yet the real problem isn't the number of friends in your phone.

It's that no man in your life is authorized to tell you the truth about yourself.
In Episode 8 of The Maxximus Show, Ryan Poole breaks down the Male Friendship Recession not to scare you, but to give you the honest picture, the actual mechanism behind why men lose each other, and the four concrete moves that fix it.

What you'll hear in this episode:

* The four counterfeits men mistake for brotherhood (and why the hype man is the most dangerous one)

* What the data actually says — and the part most people in the men's space won't tell you

* Why having friends didn't fix the loneliness

* The real word for what men are missing: witness

* Ryan's own story — and what it cost him

* The Brotherhood Audit: four moves you can start in the next ten minutes

Nobody is coming to tell you you're drifting. That's the whole problem. And it's the one you can fix today.
