 A macro thinker, a micro thinker, extroverts, introverts, someone who is really good at connecting with people one-on-one, someone who is a social butterfly, who's good at holding the attention of groups. And if you look at the groups that I hang out with, I'm the macro thinker and the person that makes deep connection with people one-on-one. Liam is very extroverted, he's very good at dealing with group dynamics and he's also a deal maker, somebody who finds out what somebody is good at and immediately brings them into the fold and gets something happening with them. He's also the guy that as soon as an idea appears, he takes action on it, whereas I'm actually more of a cautious thinker and I'll plan and plot things for too long. So he and I work really well as a team together. The idea appears, Liam's like, let's do it immediately, and I go, hang on a minute, buddy, let's think about it. And then we think about it a little bit and then we do it immediately. Tony Solo, who's one of our coaches, is an absolute workhorse, incredibly disciplined person who once he gets something in his mind, moves meticulously and moves in a linear way. Then we bring in outside plug-ins such as Gareth Jones, who you guys would have all seen a couple of days ago, who is an amazing people person, very, very social, very good at keeping a party going, great social butterfly, and so on. So in amongst that group, it means that we have access to all different types of people, all different ways of thinking. And of course, it has the advantage that when a woman comes into that group, it's really fun, it's really a dynamic place to be. Because if you want to just be one of those lone wolf seduces, and I have met guys like that, who really just, you know, the American psycho seduces, where they just go out meticulously, do their game, bring the girl back to the cave, have sex with her, and then do their push-ups and look at themselves in the mirror. That can work, and if you're looking at the two ways of getting girls into your life, which most men work on, one of them is to try and build a social circle that's like some kind of Venus flytrap, which attracts women into it. And that was the old way of doing things, where you would try and become part of a social scene, join a band, that's why I started music, was to try and get girls, because there would be girls in the vicinity. And I've worked with clients who've owned nightclubs, owned modeling agencies, owned hairdressing salons in places where there's lots of girls, and it has the effect of bringing people into the social orbit, but it doesn't actually close a deal. It's not enough in and of itself. And then on the other side, you have the guys that only do cold approach, and it's just about them and the girl, each time. If you want to learn to be the most effective seducer possible, then what you want to do is both those things. You must be able to see a girl that you like, somewhere on the bus, in the park, wherever, go over there and make an impact. Otherwise, you are limited to a very scarce pool of choices. But at the same time, if you can do that and then bring a girl into a social circle, which is fun and interesting and dynamic, and where the men respect each other, and when you walk in with the girl that everyone has your back, then that makes your job so much easier. Because of course, at the end of the day, the girl is going to be interested in you. If she's going to have sex with you or start a relationship, it's because of you. But it certainly doesn't hurt having a group where she comes into it. And it's interesting where there's people who are holding more of the social atmosphere together. And that's, I know for me, I'm not very good at that in big groups. That's not my, I mean, I can stand up in front of a big group and talk, but holding together big social groups is not my forte. But having someone like Liam or Gareth around means that that element is done for me. So I can bring the girl in and then the social circle act as this seduction washing machine and out the other end comes a relationship. So whether you're in a situation where you are living a fairly standard life where you're working in a job in one city and you want to stay there. And you, I mean, that is totally a fine option. Or whether you are someone who's thinking, okay, how can I take advantage of the planet? How can I start to maneuver and leverage my resources? Which is, I think the best time and place to be able to do that is now on this planet. This is the only time where travel is so incredibly cheap, where through the power of the internet you can create dynamic networks around the world before you've even moved to a place. When I moved my business from Melbourne, Australia to Eastern Europe, the decision, although it seemed like a big risky one in the sense I was moving to a country where I didn't understand the culture, didn't speak the language, had very limited resources arriving. It was actually a very smart decision, because the cost of living there is a third of what it is in Australia. I could afford to live double the lifestyle and still have more capital to invest in my business. It was central to the rest of the world, whereas Australia's at the bottom of it, well, 24 hours away from anywhere. Even though it's a strong economy, it did not have the opportunities that moving to Europe allowed me. So whether or not you want to take advantage of this amazing globalised world, or you want to be in a position where you're making your own city work for you, then it is important to take a stock take of your social world and recognise that doing it alone is actually the hardest way. Of course, at the end of the day you need to have personal vision, you need to have your own plan and you need to be able to let people just go if they're not going to come with you and join. But building an X-Men crew that is going to support you in your seduction, in your business, in your lifestyle goals is absolutely vital to do. And it can be done very, very fast if you target the people. And sometimes it's not even about going into a super cool group. It's looking around and going, all right, I need to find one other guy who wants to go and pick up girls, one that I like, that I enjoy spending time with. I want to find two other people that want to build a social night, that want to put on a picnic and bring some girls to it, that want to put on events or start a small business, or whatever it is that you're deciding to do, and then use the seductive economy to supercharge that. Ask, offer, trade, collaborate, make sure that if you're in debt to somebody that you pay them back. Make sure that if you offer something that you ask them for something in return. And see, and you'll just see that, you'll see very quickly where people's boundaries are. You'll recognize very quickly that, okay, I gave a little to this person, I asked them for something, they kind of fucked me over on the deal, all right, I'll distance that person, doesn't mean I need to cut them out of my life necessarily, but okay, that is not the person that's going to roll with me. Or I've asked a favor of someone who is higher in the social strata or has got access to a world that I want to be part of, and I've gone in there and audaciously asked for something, make sure I make it worth their while, and in this way, these bonds of trust will start to be created. Because at the end of the day, sitting on the beach with the laptop, with your amazing muscles and your perfect health, but doing it alone with no chicks and no friends sucks. So that's all I have time for, I'm going to open it up for questions, thank you. All right, James Marshall, who has got questions? I know earlier in your speech, great speech by the way, you were talking about men who make good wingmen, and men who basically just suck. Where do you find in the 20s age bracket men that don't suck? To be friends with. Sure, one thing is you don't only have to be friends with people your own age, the groups of people that I hang out with are from a vast range of ages, and I think that's really important, especially as you get older, it's good to hang around people who are younger, it keeps your mind young. And like when I first started rolling with seduction, I was, what I did was I went out and just tried to meet dudes, and I did that initially through online forums, so seduction forums, layers, and there's a lot of strange people in those places for sure, but I met some guy that we sort of had a link with, and then we went out and rolled together, and then I met some other dude who was out, and I saw him gaming, and I went over and talked to him, and then started a friendship that way. So basically it took me, because I remember I was 26 at the time, and I had six friends in the city that I was in, and they all had girlfriends, and I wanted to go out and meet girls, and I wanted to have a crew to do that with. And so initially that requires just going out and saying yes to everything, and just putting yourself into strange social situations, and recognizing that the first group or the first guys that you come along will not necessarily be the ones that you roll with forever. So for me it was a matter of gradually upgrading until I met guys like James and the early guys that I started the business with, and then went, okay, these are guys that really know what they're doing, we connect as people, and so let's do this. And it's also that you don't need to initially wing with people who are excellent at seduction, they need to be really into trying to get good at this and be somebody that you trust and get on with. It's not that you need to be around an absolute killer seducer, because the guys that I originally started with, we were just all figuring it out, and then sometimes someone was better than the other person, but it was more that, okay, we had each other's back and we were also willing to help coach each other and figure out what was going on and wing each other properly, and then people rise together. So, yeah, I mean you can certainly do it, there's plenty of online forums these days, back then there was a few, dozens of places that you can figure this out. What city do you live in? Okay, cool, all right, so yeah, and that is another important thing that you recognize, if you want to get good at seduction, you can't be in a city where there's 50,000 people, all right, we get guys sometimes who work out on oil rigs and writing it to how do I get good at seduction? I said, well firstly gonna need some women around, that'll be useful. Or in like hyper-conservative cultures, we sometimes guys write to me from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and they're like, how do I do day game? I'm like, don't do day game, do not. I don't want to be responsible for what happens. Yeah, so I mean the environment absolutely matters, that there are some places where there's a bangin' social scene, when there's great nightlife, where there's really, like L.A. for example, I find to be a really difficult place for seduction because no one walks anywhere, everyone's driving. And so there's no foot traffic for day game, whereas New York is exceptionally good because everyone's walking everywhere. So yeah, location matters. And yeah, as I said, it's a matter of testing it out like you would in order to find a girlfriend, you need to go and hang out with lots of different guys. And a lot of guys are uneducated on how to wing, right? It's not that you're born with that skill, it's definitely a dynamic skill that you have to understand and I've, back in the past, had to talk to friends about it and go, all right, here's the rules, when I go and talk to a girl, if you come and talk to her as well, no one's gonna win here, okay? So it has to be two on two. Or you never, you always back your wing, if the girl teases you, then your wingman teases you, this is not gonna help anyone either, because she's gonna think you're both dickheads. So actually having a clear code of what it means to wing whilst in the actual seduction is really important and that may just involve sitting down and discussing it and figuring it out. Yeah, so yeah, I guess that's my answer. So we have a question from the live stream. Oh, David wants to know, how do you reduce regret? I feel that everything in my life has happened for a reason, but there are many things that come back from my past that are so easy to regret. Yeah, okay, the things that you regret, the things that you most regret typically are not taking risks that you wanted to take and staying in something that is ineffective or negative for long periods of time. So I don't know why I'm talking to you, because you're like, I didn't ask the question. You're nodding for that guy, all right, thanks. Oh, okay, I'll talk into the camera for him. It's when you stay in something for years, particularly relationships, jobs, those are the things that people are most likely to chew up years of their life in. And so I made a lot of mistakes. I've failed at many businesses. My first business was, I lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment with my girlfriend when I was 18 and I bought a huge wooden cupboard from eBay and then I put a big light inside it and then I put some plants inside there and then I grew them hoping that I would be able to become a mad drug dealer by selling marijuana. And after the three months, I harvested the weed and sold it and it paid for about 48% of the electricity bill of growing the weed. So that was my first big attempt at business. I don't regret that because it's a funny story and I got to smoke a little bit of my weed before paying for it all and it started to teach me some of the basics of economics. So if you're going to, the things you regret is looking back on going, ah, fuck, I really did want to be a conceptual dancer in my 20s and then I got married and had kids and now I can't do that anymore because I have to look after the fucking kids. It's that, oh, I was in a relationship with that girl 50% longer than I should have been. You are going to get hurt in relationships. You're going to have business ideas collapse and fail. You're going to have friendships where the people betray you at the end. This is inevitable if you are going to put yourself out into risky situations which is life. The regret is not moving away from something when you know that it's not serving you anymore or not moving towards something that you really want to try out of fear. All right, that's all the time we have. Let's give it up for James. Thank you.
