First Impressions – MTP353

First Impressions - MTP353 Scot McKay 42:30

Co-Host Kimmy Seltzer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/seltzer) My returning guest is a Style Consultant and a dating strategist, so who better to join me for this long-overdue show about how to make a brilliant first impression? Well, it might surprise you, but Kimmy Seltzer hasn’t always been the queen of style. In fact, like many of us, she went through a devastating breakup that sent her into the doldrums. It was only after what I jokingly renamed her ‘moment of redress’ that she realized how far just a little bit of self love could go. Nowadays, of course, she’s all about empowering others to make a big splash when meeting others. Kimmy explains how she went from thinking ‘inside out’ as a therapist to giving due credit to working from the ‘outside in’ as well. Is it really so bad to compare a good first impression to product marketing? What is ‘enclothed cognition’…and is it anything like ‘costumed confidence’? What’s the one thing you can do that’s not only fall-out-of-bed easy, but actually FUN to make your first impression better? How do you maximize your first impression online when you have mere milliseconds to make it happen? It used to be women would go shopping in curlers…but now it’s actually worse! And hey, why is it that we STILL notice the frumpy ones anyway? Is the joke on us? As a special bonus, listen in as Kimmy somewhat inadvertently reveals what’s really going on in many women’s heads when most of us as guys think women are repulsed by us (hint: Oh no, it’s most certainly NOT your fault. In fact, it’s not even YOU). The website has been updated AGAIN, featuring links to the new programs, new videos on YouTube and more… 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.
