Even men at the top of their game find themselves wanting more from life. Man Alive is the resource for men who want more meaning, a bigger impact, unshakable confidence, a hotter sex life, more money, deeper love, solid friendships or a powerful legacy.

I’ve heard people talk about the intersection of sales and relationship in a way that puts a bad taste in my mouth. Some sales and dating advice involves manipulating people or winning them over in a less than genuine way.
But I’ve found there are powerful overlaps in the skills and qualities that can make you great and authentic at both sales and relationships.
I had a Man Alive Podcast conversation with a long time colleague and friend Ray Brejcha. We’ve taught dating and relationship skills together for almost a decade. He also has 24+ years of experience in strategic and solution sales in several industries and 12 years of business and leadership coaching experience. He has worked with more than 200 leaders and small business owners to help them improve their business results and leadership skills.
In this conversation Ray and I cover:
- The key to communication that causes others to trust, respect and believe in your abilities
- A powerful way to handle people’s upset so you don’t create irreparable conflict with a client or someone you love
- How to re-visit moments in a romantic or sales conversation that were awkward or off track, so they don’t wreak havoc later
- The seemingly invisible contributors to executive presence
- How to master the skill of being aware of yourself and others at the same time
With our decades of relationships, business, and leadership experience, this podcast is a new way to look at both sales and romantic relationships!
