 My name is Cole. I'm from California and I'm a sports tirebacker. I took the program for a few reasons when I wanted to listen to the podcast I really enjoyed them and I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and I knew going to the AOC and going through the program and and talking to you know girls at bars all that was gonna help get out of my comfort zone and I want to turn that around and use it for my business because I figured if I could meet beautiful people in LA everything else would be a lot easier. I when I listened to I chose the art of charm because it was a total immersion and it was going to be a week of you know they talked about in the podcast you know being learning to be comfortable being learning to be comfortable when you're uncomfortable and I just felt like I needed that I needed the action and actually commit because you know you can listen to the podcast and you can read but I needed I needed some structure and you know maybe like a more accountability and with other people they kind of do two good things and get things rolling. You know I was a little bit even when I got there on Sunday night you know you just you meet all these random you meet these strangers you don't know them so you're already uncomfortable and but after a while you start you know you go out you meet people and then the coaches come in and you don't really you don't really want to end it's actually there was a really great time being there and mainly because of the information and the relationships you form from it as well. My favorite part of the week and I didn't think it was I didn't think it was gonna be that big a deal but the body language and the eye contact and what I actually looked like because when you're when you're filmed and you watch yourself on video is a game changer because I was like oh my gosh I'm you know I'm squared up with this person I'm staring at them and I'm not relaxed at all and after a few repetitions you start to make changes that it totally makes things different and I use it every day talking to people at work or at gyms or at marketing events. Yeah, my favorite moment of the program was one night we were all out in a group and there were these there were these two girls that looked pretty intimidating because they're about six foot one and very very gorgeous and I walked up to one of the coaches and I was like it you know they did not want to talk to me there's no way and he's like dude that's such a distortion just go up and each just go up and talk to them there's nothing wrong with talking to strangers so I just kind of walked up and actually I think I even used that like That's not weird talk to strangers or anything they kind of laughed and give him a high five and next you know you had a great conversation so it totally kind of removed that fear from me and That was for those are pretty cool moment Well, I got a boot camp that I couldn't get on like gonna get on my own was the action steps and the accountability because you can read something and you can listen to a podcast and it's great and makes sense but then putting it in action and You're moving the fear that's that's what the group helped me out with the most so they kind of just take the They take the the cognitive distortions that you might have and you put in action and then at the end of the day If in the night you realize it wasn't that big a deal and actually was kind of easy in social I Use I use the information every day, but more for marketing and meeting people. I'm not out picking girls up every day I actually have a six-year-old daughter. So I use it more for just building my network making contacts and and and meeting people for work and I use it every day and it's helped me out tremendously since I since I returned I've recommended the podcast to my friends just to kind of open their eyes up to What the art charm is all about and I definitely would recommend it to people who? might be shy who feel a little bit nervous talking to to Two girls are just meeting new people in general because once you go through the week the art charm when you come back you feel just very comfortable talking and being social with With with strangers and even and even your own even your own friends. It seems to get a lot easier. I'm more relaxed or I think people the people that benefit from a program the most Are those who want to? Expand their network make new contacts make new friends meet me girls And they they just might feel stuck because of that fear inside of them of rejection or you know They can sat they catastrophizes everything So I think people who just want to build and expand and meet new people Would benefit the most from the art of charm One thing about our charm when you first hear about it, and you if you listen to some of the first podcast It's about meeting girls and approaching girls, but for me Business-wise it's helped me out Tremendously because since I've got back I'm actually already working on my own podcast my own webinars and show and talking about exercises and videos to help get patients out of pain and It was through the art of charm the week of the art of charm That's helped me get to the point where I am now and I'm just gonna keep on building and rolling and and taking the right steps
