    Ep. 620: The Single Tax

    Being in love is great and all, but the real benefit to being in a relationship is the opportunity to split costs. It’s ridiculously expensive just to be alive, which leaves single people unfairly disadvantaged—they have to take care of everything on their own. And it’s not just the financial burden you face when you’re single, there are social struggles, too. While everyone else has a person to celebrate the ups with and get support from during the downs, you have to ride the waves mostly on your own. We think it’s time to start sending a little more support to your single friends… and maybe a few hundred bucks, while you’re at it. An awful first date [2:13] Everything costs more when you’re single [8:28] Making time to celebrate your people [12:34] No where is left that’s affordable [14:21] The older generations aren’t keeping up with the times [18:36] Wanting to celebrate with someone [20:28] You have to allow people to show up for you [24:16] Thoughts on divorce registries [24:52] Starting from scratch costs an arm and a leg [27:28] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 619: Can We Force Our Partners to Go to Therapy?

    We all probably agree that men, as a group, need to be going to therapy. But when it comes to your individual man… is it okay to demand that they go? We know firsthand exactly how therapy can make relationships better so of course we’d want our partners to try it out, but therapy still carries a lot of stigma, especially to men. We can try to lead them to therapy, but there’s no good outcome when forcing it, so your best bet is to draw your line in the sand, and be willing to let the chips fall, even if it means walking away.  You deserve a partner who values you, Bestie. Danny’s new bangs [0:51] Asking your partner to go to therapy [3:38] Continuing to de-stigmatize therapy [5:48] Know what your goal is [8:25] A you issue, a me issue, or a we issue [10:58] “Fix this or I’m leaving” [13:13] Being honest about your line in the sand [15:32] No one wants a mother-child dynamic [18:22] Easier said than done [20:43] You can’t always control the outcome [24:41] Men struggle understanding their feelings [27:04] Walking away with self respect [33:13] Being aware of someone’s capacity [34:20] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 618: Dating Someone With Children

    We’ve chosen not to have children of our own, but would we date a man with kids? Becoming a step-parent is no joke—it’s a lot of responsibility, often with very little credit, and you’ll rarely, if ever, be the priority in your partner’s life. All of that goes double if the kids in question are under age 10, too. There’s a special place in heaven for people willing to take that on, but at this point, it ain’t gonna be us.  Dating someone who has kids [1:47] Being a step-parent is rough [4:57] A different level of responsibility [7:48] Looking for red flags [11:07] What’s Danny’s type now?

    Ep. 617: Navigating Friendship Breakups

    We’ve been friends for a decade now and we’re not at all the same people we were when we met. Luckily, we’ve grown together, but not every friendship is so lucky. Sometimes we travel in an entirely different direction from our loved ones and it makes maintaining a relationship tricky, and sometimes that growing apart leads to a friendship breakup. Whether you slowly go ghost or have “the talk” is ultimately up to you, but we always advocate for leaving things open—you’ve grown apart now, but you could always grow back together in the future. Hyrox and leaving Vegas [2:06] Outgrowing a friend [10:16] Letting the friendship fade away slowly [12:44] People change over time [15:26] Asymmetrical friendships [16:57] Be ready to let the chips fall [20:26] Let the friendship evolve [24:40] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 616: Your Cringe Archive

    When’s the last time you looked into your cringe archive? Everyone who has a personal brand has to go through some less than perfect posts before they get better—it’s a rite of passage. Too many people quit before they even begin because they’re too embarrassed to be seen posting something “cringe,” but you have to be willing to be cringe if you want to be seen and to make a difference. We’ve all been cringe at one point or another… Hell, we’re *still* cringe, but we show up and share our lives, and that’s what really matters to us. Danny J’s name change [0:56] A marriage mishap [5:33] Your cringe archive [9:13] Cringe just keeps happening [12:16] The phone followed us everywhere in 2017 [13:24] Cringe is most cringe-worthy to ourselves [17:12] You have to start in order to get better [19:50] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 615: Selling Courses About Selling Courses About Selling Courses

    Have you ever seen a course being sold by someone who teaches you how to sell courses about building courses? We love the internet business space and we think there’s so much good shit out there you can learn, but unfortunately for as many honest and hard working entrepreneurs there are, there are even more scammers, grifters, and snake oil salespeople. Sure, you can make a great living online, but it’s never been as simple as just “make a course and then sell tons of units,” as much as we’d like it to be. Selling courses, building an online business, and developing a personal brand is tough work, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Or trying to sell you something. Most likely, they’re lying in order to sell you something.  Selling courses about selling courses [3:49] If it was that simple, everyone would do it [6:50] It lacks integrity [10:22] A course on how to make money on OnlyFans [12:22] Not everyone can have the same level of success [15:14] We attract who we are [18:29] The beginnings of a pyramid scheme [21:02] Do the ends always justify the means?

    Ep. 614: Pretty Girls Make More Money

    We know pretty-privilege exists, but is there another layer we haven’t been paying attention to? Some studies show that women who wear makeup make more money than their female counterparts that don’t. We’ve definitely noticed how much better people treat us when we look good—we do still live in a patriarchal society, after all—but is it worth it to start investing more money into your Sephora budget in order to get a raise at work? Whether it’s a case of feeling confident and therefore performing better, or just a case of good ol’ misogyny, this doesn’t feel like something we should ignore. Women who wear makeup are paid more [3:28] Grooming vs. pretty-privilege [6:49] Doing better when you look better [8:17] Are people putting more effort into their looks? [11:01] Everything is “viral” now [14:51] Looksmaxxing, softmaxxing, and hardmaxxing [15:58] Average is attractive [18:09] The difference teeth make [19:36] The energy component [21:37] Looks in business [25:06] Unfortunately, the patriarchy still reigns [28:43] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 613: Asking Your Partner's Permission

    Look, we’re not into asking permission from our partners to do anything, but there’s something to be said about being mindful of how they feel. Your partner’s feelings should (hopefully!) matter as much as your own, and if you can make them feel loved and cared about, why wouldn’t you? All that said, let’s get one thing straight: no man will ever stop us from doing what we want due to their insecurity. Asking your partner for permission to do something [3:01] Feeling some type of way [6:25] What’s the compromise? [9:13] Consideration without concessions [11:24] What is mine? vs. what is yours?
