Co-Host Justin Stenstrom (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/eliteman) My long-time friend and fellow men's coach Justin Stenstrom from The Elite Man is back to talk about one of his favorite subjects, men's mental health. Unfortunately, a lot of guys feel like even acknowledging the need for support in this area is an indication of weakness, but hey...we're only human. If we don't deal with our darkness and our demons, they'll ruthlessly deal with us until we do. So first off, how does our mental health affect both our attitudes and our actions toward women? What are the two main external factors that greatly affect our ability to, well..stay sane as men in this world? And why is it the more we as men care about being better men, the more susceptible we seem to be to mental health crises? Could all this be at least tangentially related to how most of us as men are allergic to fun...and feel almost guilty relaxing? And how do our lifestyle choices affect our overall mental health? What does our sense of value and purpose have to do with it? Could we have been raised to go crazy? And what if this is coming back around to how 'safe' everything is in today's world? Are we going 'stir-crazy', if not anything else? So how do we wrap our heads around this and reclaim our sanity? Well, as you might have already guessed, the first step is simply removing the blinders and recognizing there is a problem. Fortunately, Justin has other practical steps so you can take it from there. For a crazy amount of free goodies, get on over to: https://mountaintoppodcast.com

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Have you ever noticed that we as men tend to evaluate our own potential attractiveness to women the same way we evaluate how attractive women are to us? It's true...and the result is we conclude a small percentage of men who are naturally handsome are the ones who will get all the women. Well, this brief episode explains why those guys may actually suffer a disadvantage that 90% of the rest of us don't have to worry about. And what about the other small group of men who have been hit with a proverbial 'ugly stick'? Wait until you hear the true advantage they can leverage...if they're smart enough to figure it out.

Co Host Kim Ades (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/struggle) My returning guest is Frame Of Mind coach Kim Ades. She has observed that high-achieving, driven men tend to struggle in four key, and quite valid areas. The first is 'isolation', which encompasses a lot more than you might be guessing. It's not only about relationships, but also about carrying responsibility and the expectations of others. What a mess already, right? Well,that's just the beginning. Stay tuned as Kim talks about why high-achieving men often experience friction in their relationships. This friction can either be overt or covert, which Kim goes on to explain. But either way, it's invariably a source of massive frustration. But wait, there's more. High-achievers can also feel chronic dissatisfaction...at work, at home, their social lives, and for sure in their relationships with women. So what's up with THAT? The fourth struggle Kim has identified is based on a term she has coined herself, and that's 'slippage'. It's probably not what you're guessing it is. How do these four ways we struggle affect our dating lives and ultimately our relationships with women? What is it that's making so many men feel beaten down in general? Why is it that billionaires often can balance their lives to the point of having plenty of 'free time', yet most of the rest of us struggle mightily just to keep up with our daily grind? And by the way, what does our upbringing and/or our birth order have to do with any of this? Add it all up, and you'll likely not only relate to much of what is talked about in this show, but also LOVE the solutions Kim comes up with.
