I see many guys walking around with what I call “crisis face.” They look worried, stressed out, almost on the verge of tears. Record your next few on-camera Zoom meetings. Look closely, and be honest with yourself. Do you have “crisis face?” Studies have shown that impoverished or low-status people actually develop higher cortisol thresholds and lower dopamine thresholds … meaning they get MORE STRESSED when they’re under pressure and LESS HAPPY when they’re in a state of joy. In other words, your “crisis face” could be giving “broke.” People can READ your low status in that permanent grimace you wear. Don’t be alarmed. THIS IS FIXABLE. Challenge for the week … Can you catch yourself in moments where you’re not smiling and remind yourself to smile? Smiling – even a fake smile – changes your brain chemistry. It’s also proven to make people like you more. Do you think you can implement this in your life this week?

Hi, I just finished school and moved to Houston to work at NASA. I am looking forward to building up my social circle and life after spending the last 6 years grinding in grad school. Let me know if anyone is in H-town and wants to network. -Will

Greetings, gentlemen, I hope you're all well today. I'm here to discuss a matter close to my heart, a conversation I had with my wife that I believe warrants your insight. I usually keep such matters private, but I've come to value the wisdom and perspective of this group, which is why I'm sharing it here. To provide some context, my wife and I have been undergoing counseling, and we've received varying opinions from different psychologists, including the esteemed Dr. Jordan Peterson. Despite our differences, we have a strong foundation, especially when it comes to our responsibilities and commitments, particularly as parents. The essence of our recent conversation revolved around the advice from these psychologists and how we can apply it to our relationship. We acknowledge our compatibility, which makes these changes challenging. However, I took the initiative to suggest that we should work on achieving certain goals together to foster continued growth in our relationship. Her initial response took me aback. She mentioned that it was my fault, asserting that all I do is focus on the children and spend time with them. I responded by reminding her that we were discussing these issues precisely to find solutions. I asked her what we could do differently to ensure that we continue to evolve as a team. Her reply, somewhat frustratingly, was that I needed to stop placing her last and make having a wife a priority rather than an option. She then walked out of the room. I must admit, I was quite upset at this point, but I decided to take some time to reflect, which led me to seek your valuable perspectives. My confusion stems from why she wouldn't engage in a discussion about potential solutions that could benefit us both, rather than placing blame solely on me. I acknowledge my part in our challenges, but I'm puzzled as to why we couldn't focus on finding clear, mutual solutions. I eagerly await your thoughts and insights on this matter. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

I'm curious if anybody here has done Cole Gordon's RCA program. If so what was your experience like? Would you way it's worth it, especially for someone with zero sales experience.
