From being in the airforce, to a watch company executive, to spiritual music band manager to transformational events producer to (now) a thriving life and relationship coach and author of the best-selling book (and one of my all-time favorite books) “Choose Her Everyday Or Leave Her”, host of the “Men, This Way” podcast… Our guest today is Mr. Bryan Reeves.

Why so many men go into relationship with confidence and great intentions, but struggle mightily once in relationship.

How to thrive in relationship and not simply survive.

Why being vulnerable with other men can bring safety to your relationship to your partner.

Why for many men, it's "not the burden that they carry that breaks them, but the way they carry the burden" (by carrying it as a lone wolf, without the support and love of others).

Why relationship is a "team sport".

What "Masculine Check-Out Syndrome" is, why it is so common and how it can be one of the most painful things for a woman to experience.

How most men have a "little tyrant king" inside of them, hungry for more possessions, success and money. And how the feminine plays a role in suppressing the desires of the little tyrant king and orienting the man towards love.
