I've been working as a male companion for more than a decade now, and it's not at all what it seems. Presence, discretion, emotional intelligence, and making whoever is in front of you feel like the only person in the room — that's a far better way to describe it. Through this work, I've learned more about what people actually want and need from each other than most will encounter in a lifetime. PRESENCE is where I put all of it. Honest, unfiltered insight from a decade of human connection at the highest level — and what it taught me about the things that actually matter. Welcome to PRESENCE. New episodes every Wednesday. —LUXE

  1. The Twelve Types Of Intimacies

    The Twelve Types Of Intimacies

    When most people hear the word intimacy, a picture shows up. Same picture every single time, and everyone knows the one I’m talking about… Here's what I've learned after years of sitting with people who are starving for connection and can't figure out why: 'That’ picture is one of twelve, and it might be the least intimate one on the list. In this episode, I delve into all twelve different forms of intimacy, what they actually look like in real life, and why so many people end up fluent in one and completely empty in the others without ever understanding why something feels missing. There's even a story about a marriage everyone admired from the outside and a friendship nobody took seriously. Full disclosure: it might change how you look at every relationship in your life after hearing it. Enjoy. - LUXE FREE PDF — 10 Habits That Make a Man Unforgettable Reach me HERE.

  2. The Idea of Happiness

    The Idea of Happiness

    Most people spend their entire lives chasing happiness without ever stopping to question what they're actually chasing. They assume they know what it is; that they'll recognize it when they get there, and then they do, and realize something is still missing. In this episode, I dive into 'The Idea of Happiness', and what that actually looks like. Not the version we've been sold, but the real version. The one that doesn't care about your bank account. Rather, the one that adapts to every new level of circumstance and keeps moving the finish line. The one that the most successful people I've ever sat across from couldn't buy their way into. What I've watched produce genuine happiness in people who had everything, and in people who had almost nothing. The answer was the same both times. It's always the same.

  3. The Five Lonelinesses

    The Five Lonelinesses

    Most people think they know what loneliness is. They point at an empty Friday night. A holiday spent alone. Some chapter of their life when they didn't have anyone. And they call that loneliness... But that's not loneliness. That's being alone, and those two things are not the same. In this episode, I'm talking about the five specific types of loneliness I've watched play out over and over in the people I've spent time with. The loneliness of being surrounded, of being misconstrued, of being self-concealed, of being accomplished, and of being untethered. And how a single person can end up carrying all five, stacked and compounded, inside a life that looks completely full from the outside. This one is for the person who has never been alone and has been quietly lonely their entire time. Enjoy. — LUXE FREE PDF — 10 Habits That Make a Man Unforgettable Reach me HERE.

  4. The Real Reason They Hired Me

    The Real Reason They Hired Me

    Most people who reach out say the same thing. "I'm just looking for some company." But some of them have told me, looking back, that the company alone wasn't really the whole answer. Because if it had been, they would've called a friend, and they didn't. In this episode, I wanted to highlight a pattern I've noticed in a number of the people I've spent time with, and what starts to shift when someone spends real time in genuine presence. More specifically, what some of them have told me months later, or sometimes longer, about what they thought they were actually looking for the night they first reached out. There's a story in this one that I've thought about many times since it happened — about a question that costs nothing to ask, but changes everything about the dynamic of an interaction.

  5. The Hidden Loop — Presence, Reciprocity, and What People Are Actually Chasing

    The Hidden Loop — Presence, Reciprocity, and What People Are Actually Chasing

    Most people think presence is about what you give someone. Your attention. Your time. Your focus. That's definitely part of it. But, there's a second half to the equation that almost nobody talks about, and it's the part that actually completes the connection. In this episode, we delve into reciprocity and what happens when you let someone give something back. A lot of the people I've spent time with, especially the ones who seemed to get the most out of our time together, weren't the ones looking to take all they could get. They were the ones who couldn't wait to make it about me. Sometimes, a home-cooked meal (for me) can mean more than a 5-star fine-dining experience (for them). Then, there's the other half of what I do — the more subtle half — the one nobody taught me how... Holding space. Being aware and intuitive enough to let someone drop their shoulders. Sometimes, it's about what people are actually looking for. Other times, it's about what it actually takes to give and receive it in return.

  6. What People Actually Want — Presence, Attention, and Human Connection

    Apr 23

    What People Actually Want — Presence, Attention, and Human Connection

    Most people have never experienced what it actually feels like to have someone's complete, undivided attention. Not partial attention, or attention divided between a phone and a conversation, but full, genuine presence, directed entirely at them, and with no agenda behind it. In this first episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what my work as a male companion has actually taught me about human connection. What people are really looking for when they seek out company, what real intimacy looks like, and why it has nothing to do with what most people assume. Candlelit dinners, late-night conversations, and with nowhere to be; evenings that end with people feeling more like themselves than when they started. It all comes down to human connection, and it's the thing most people are starving for and have never been shown how to find.
