Co-Host Ed Nissen (https://mountaintoppoddast.com/nissen) Despite so many accusations of toxic masculinity out there, deep down every man of character out there wants to be a hero…especially in his relationship with the right woman. This is not to be confused with being a ‘simp’ or some kind of pushover. This also isn’t another ‘Hero’s Journey’ talk, either. We’re talking about real, actual heroism here…as the woman in your life sees it. My guest is psychotherapist and author Ed Nissin, who has thought enough about this subject that he actually wrote a book called Song Of The Hero. For starters, listen for the warning signs as Ed describes what was going on–or not going on–in his own relationship with his wife, inspiring him to make changes. What should we do when being a leader, provider and protector is met with resistance by the woman in our life? Should we just back off? Well, the good news is if you’re actually trying to be a hero, you’re probably already on the right track…or at least not being seen as a villain (not by sane women, right?) The next step is to understand women’s behavior patterns with regard to all of this, which Ed explains how to do. How does our evolution since caveman days actually make being a hero far more complex and difficult? And what’s the real world difference between simply protecting and providing and being her hero? Truly an important discussion for any man who wants a successful relationship with a high-quality woman. Check out the latest Masterclass For Men and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Scot McKay Dating Strategist

Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

He’s also the most fluff-free fountainhead of original content in his field, if only because that’s what seventeen years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given that she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot and still gets carded at her age. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.
