The host Ryan Poole built an AI coaching platform to help men become who they were always meant to be. This is what that sounds like. The Maxximus Show is hosted by Ryan Poole founder of Maxximus, the AI-powered men's coaching platform. Each episode, Ryan sits down with coaches, founders, athletes, and experts from the worlds of dating, relationships, and masculine development — plus Maxximus (the AI coach of the platform) and Marcus (the AI CEO that helps build Maxximus) for conversations you won't hear anywhere else. Ryan spent 27 years in real estate sales, has been on 1,000 first dates with women from over 60 countries, raised a son as a single father, and spent decades studying what separates the men who thrive from the men who drift. Out of that came Maxximus AI and the Maxximus Method — built on stoic philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and real-world coaching. Every episode covers what men actually need to hear: — Dating and attraction: confidence, communication, and building something real — Masculine identity: leadership, fatherhood, brotherhood, and purpose — Life performance: focus, fitness, and financial clarity — The mindset: stoic philosophy meets modern psychology meets lived experience Want to try Maxximus now?

    Why Men Give up on Dating (And How to Get Back in the Game) | The Maxximus Show Ep. 17

    Something is happening right now that nobody is talking about honestly. 30.4 million men between the ages of 20 and 39 are unmarried in America. That is up from 20.7 million in 2000 a 50 percent increase in 25 years. More than half of men under 30 are not in a relationship. 63 percent of young men describe themselves as single. And somewhere between 53 and 63 percent of single men are not actively dating at all. Those are not numbers about the dating market getting harder. Those are numbers about men who stopped showing up. Most of them didn't make one big dramatic decision to quit. There was no moment in front of a mirror where they said "I'm done." It happened the same way most men lose things - slowly, quietly, one small decision at a time. Until the door was closed and they called the closed door peace. In this weeks episode 17, Maxximus Founder Ryan Poole breaks down what's actually happening underneath the surface the real reasons men drift out of dating and the one question that gets you back in the game. This is not a motivation speech. You cannot think your way to motivation. Motivation follows action, not the other way around. This episode is about what happens before that first move the honest look at where you actually stand, so you stop operating from your worst moments and start operating from the truth. The door is not locked. It never was. 📖 Read the full journal entry:https://maxximus.ai/journal/why-men-give-up 💬 Talk to Maxximus your AI Mens Mentor, Life and Dating Coach  FREE at: https://maxximus.ai --- 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week --- The Maxximus Show is hosted by Ryan Poole, Founder of Maxximus — the AI men's coaching platform built to help men reconnect with themselves, with women, and with purpose.

    What Every Son Needs From His Father (That Nobody Is Talking About) | The Maxximus Show Ep. 16

    Most men focus on what they build. Careers. Businesses. Bank accounts. None of it outlives you the way your son will. In this episode, Maxximus Founder Ryan Poole talks about the most important thing a man will ever build - and why so many fathers are getting it wrong, not because they’re bad dads, but because nobody ever told them what their sons actually need. 1 in 4 boys in America right now is growing up without a father in the home. 63% of youth suicides come from fatherless homes. This is not a parenting problem. This is a civilization problem. And the men who can fix it are watching this right now. What you’ll learn: - The statistics on fatherless homes that should stop every man coldRyan’s own story: divorced dad at 5, raised by a father who leaned in - and how that template shaped everything. - The 200,000-year unbroken chain - and what it means that you are holding it right now. - The Maxximus Method applied to raising sons: 5 pillars, lived in real life with his son Everett (10) - What every divorced dad needs to know about staying in the fight - A direct message to the men who grew up without a father This is the most personal episode Ryan has filmed.  📖 Read the full journal entry: 👉 https://maxximus.ai/journal/what-every-son-needs-from-his-father 💬 Talk to Maxximus - AI men’s coaching, free to start: 👉 https://maxximus.ai/preview Maxximus is an AI-powered men’s coaching platform built for dating, confidence, and masculine development. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week. #MasculineDevelopment #FatherhoodAdvice #DadAdvice #RaisingBoys #FatherAndSon #WhatSonsNeed #FatherSonBond #RaisingMen #BecomingABetterFather #ModernFatherhood #MaxximusAI  #TheMaxximusShow #RyanPoole #MensCoaching #BecomeTheMan #Fatherhood #DadLife #Parenting #MensMentalHealth #PersonalDevelopment

    Your Dating Market Value Score: The Number Everyone Needs to Know | The Maxximus Show Ep. 15

    Most people walk into the dating market completely blind. No idea where they stand. No idea that lack of information could cost them matches, dates, and relationships.  I spent 27 years in real estate. The first thing a competent agent does before listing a home is run a Comparative Market Analysis — a CMA. It tells you where your property stands relative to the market. Without it, you are guessing. Dating works the same way. In this episode I break down what dating market value ( some times called sexual market value or SMV) actually is, how it is calculated, which categories matter most for men and women, and why understanding your score is the single fastest way to improve your results in dating. I also built a free dating market value calculator that scores you on a scale of 1-10 across 7 categories. It takes under 2 minutes, shows you your highest-leverage gap, and gives you a shareable score card to share on social media and dating apps.  Thousands of men and women have taken it. Men and women are posting their scores on their dating profiles. Some are using it as an opener. Take the calculator. Know your number. Then build. ⚔️ Link to the FREE Dating Market Value Calculator: https://maxximus.ai/dating-market-value-calculator  📖 Full Article: https://maxximus.ai/journal/dating-market-value  🔬 Scoring Methodology (every category, every weight, the research behind it): https://maxximus.ai/dating-market-value-calculator/methodology  📱 Talk to Maxximus now for FREE to raise your score. — https://maxximus.ai/preview

    How to Win the First Date (and Get the Second) | The Maxximus Show Ep. 14

    Most men walk into a first date trying to impress her. That is the wrong move. The man who wins the first date is not the most impressive one he is the most present one. The one who leads. The one who makes her feel seen. The one who already knows how the night is going to end before he walks in. In this episode I break down the exact framework I have used across nearly 1,000 first dates with women from  60+ countries. What to do before you arrive. How to own the space the moment you walk in. The two questions that open her up completely. How to read her body language in real time and lead every transition. When and how to close the date on your terms, while the energy is still high. And the one text the next day that makes the second date inevitable. This is Episode 14 -  the final chapter of the Dating Trilogy. If you have not watched or listened to Episode 12 (Cold Approach) and Episode 13 (Texting Women 101) go back and start there. This episode is the payoff. 📖 Read the full first date breakdown: https://maxximus.ai/journal/first-date-tips-men 💬 Want Maxximus your AI mens mentor, life and dating coach to coach you 1-on-1 before your next date?

    Texting Women 101: How to Go From Match to First Date | The Maxximus Show Ep.13

    Most men are texting themselves out of dates they already had. In this episode Maxximus founder Ryan Poole breaks down exactly how to text women in modern dating: how to open, how to banter, when to move, and the one thing most men can’t pull off that changes everything. Ryan has been in sales for 27 years and been on roughly 1,000 first dates with women from over 60 countries. This isn’t theory. This is what actually works from the first message to having her excited to show up on the first date. What will be covered: → Why your profile has to be right before you send a single text → The specific opener that gets responses (and why “Hey, how was your weekend?” kills you) → The banter phase — 4-6 messages max, then you move → The alpha texting move most men can’t pull off (but should learn) → Logistics only — then go completely silent until the date → What to do when she doesn’t confirm If you’re sitting there texting for days and going nowhere this episode is for you.

    Guest: Ricky Aiken - Founder Inner City Innovators | Free & Alive Beyond 25 | Maxximus show Ep. 11

    Free & Alive Beyond 25: Ricky Aiken’s Mission to Save Young Men | Ep. 11 When Ricky Aiken was growing up in West Palm Beach, his male role models were the neighborhood dope dealers. He knows what that does to a boy. Today, he runs Inner City Innovators — a boots-on-the-ground non-profit organization that shows up at shooting scenes, Started Hope Dealers that operate in the highest-violence neighborhoods in South Florida, and gives young men something real to belong to before the street claims them. The numbers don’t lie: 86% of ICI mentees are not charged with a new crime after joining 93% say they feel more hopeful and better able to handle life’s challenges 88% show improved behavioral health This is not a polished nonprofit story. This is a man who was headed toward a very different ending and chose to become a Hope Dealer instead. We talk about where he grew up, who wasn’t there, the friends he lost, the path he was on, and the moment Johnny Davis’s death turned grief into mission. We talk about what it actually looks like to show up at a shooting scene. What a young man looks like when he first walks in the door and what he looks like a year later. And at the end, Ryan asks Ricky one question for the young man watching this right now who grew up without a father, who has nobody showing up for him, who doesn’t know Ricky Aiken exists. His answer is worth staying for. DONATE TO INNER CITY INNOVATORS: 👉 https://innercityinnovators.org/donate This episode’s only call to action donating to Ricky’s mission.

    The Maxximus Show Ep. 10 | Body Language: The Language Most Men Never Learn

    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. 📖 Read the full body language guide here: https://maxximus.ai/journal/body-language-men-guide 💬 Talk to Maxximus 1 on 1 for FREE — 25 free coaching sessions, no credit card: https://maxximus.ai/preview
