 Hi, my name is Eric, and I live in Minneapolis, and I am a technical consultant. I decided to take the program because I had been doing some online dating and just wasn't happy with what was happening, it just seemed like when I met people it wasn't quite what I expected. So I wanted to improve my skills in meeting women in social situations so that we could get to know each other a little bit better before deciding to move forward. I chose AOC because I had heard from Jordan on another podcast and decided to contact him and get some tips and we got to talking about the program and after discussing what my speaking points were and so forth, I decided that it sounded like a great idea and I decided to move forward with it. Yes, I was skeptical at first. I knew that AOC had an excellent reputation and so I knew it would be helpful, but before you actually do it, it's hard to imagine what you're going to be like after doing a transformational program, especially one that includes so many different parts of life. While I was out in LA doing the program, there was definitely a lot of emotions that I went through. It was good to meet a lot of great guys, so every guy who was involved in the program was a really super dude and it was also good to challenge myself, but with that, of course, requires some uncomfortable situations or things that you're not normally used to. Luckily, with the support of the coaches and the other guys, I felt like I was able to move through that quite a bit and do a lot of things which I didn't think would be possible or hadn't ever done before. Well, my favorite moment of the program was when we split up into teams and we each did a scavenger hunt, so this was kind of after quite a bit of other work and so it was kind of an easy, relatively easy, let's say, fun thing where you're working together with other guys that you've been hanging out with that week and just cruising around, getting clues and making other people laugh and smile and just generally lifting everyone's mood when you meet. Before the AOC, I had been doing some work to try to improve my social skills on my own. However, signing up for it made it real like, okay, A, I need to get ready to do this camp in a couple months because, you know, I've already put the money down, so this is definitely going to happen and, you know, so I've committed to it and so it just makes everything up to that point easier because, you know, okay, got to get going, get the prep work done, then during it, you're getting a support system of coaches who have been out in the field for a really long time and know all the kind of different ways to handle social situations, the things to look for, any potential problems, they'll talk you through them. So that's one thing I couldn't have done by myself and then also having a support system afterwards of guys who are also trying to improve themselves, improve their life, you know, that makes things a lot easier than just trying to do everything by yourself. Yeah, I use what I learn literally every day, so even down to if I'm running up in the elevator with someone, I'll try to say something, you know, at least make them laugh or say something to get a conversation going, brighten their day up a little bit. These days I go out a lot more than I used to, so I go to happy hours, different kind of social events, business networking, I'm out at least three or four nights a week with friends or meeting new people and so my social life is astronomically better than it used to be. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who wants to improve their social skills, so it gives you some very clear notes and ideas about how to proceed. So without the help of the program, if you want to improve your social skills there might be resources out there but there's a lot of different things to consider and do your own research and then implement them, figure out whether you're doing them right. Whereas if you sign up for the program, all that has already been done, all you need to do is actually do it yourself and you know that there's been hundreds, if not thousands of guys who have done the exact same thing before and have worked and it's worked for and so you have confidence that if you just go through the steps then you'll get the changes. So before I started the program, you know, I knew about AOC as a company but once I really got in I learned what great guys all the coaches in the AOC program are and they actually really care about you quite a bit and they know how to help you and what your particular problems are so they've dealt with hundreds of guys and while everyone's different there's probably patterns that they see a lot and so you know they can definitely help you to improve what you are what you need and I really respect all the coaches in the AOC program and would listen to them for guidance and really appreciate the fact that they are in my life.
