From Dull to Dynamic: How Passion and Authenticity Make You Magnetic to Women, Featuring John R. Miles
07 Dec 2024
Does your life lack excitement and passion? Do you worry that women find you boring—or worse, dull? A passionless life can sabotage your dating success, leaving women to gravitate to men with more exciting stories to tell. (Picture your date saying, “Wait, your only hobby is playing video games? Cool, cool... well, I should go now.” Yikes.) Women crave men who live with passion and purpose. In this episode of “How to Get a Girlfriend,” Connell sits down with bestselling author John R. Miles, host of the top-rated “Passion Struck” podcast, to explore how finding your passions can transform your love life and bring you more fulfillment as a man.Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:2:30 The Life-Changing Power of Facing Your Fear12:05 Why Self-Doubt is Your True Enemy—and How to Build Self-Worth17:32 How to Get Unstuck and Start Living a Passionate Life20:21 The Secret to Turning Powerful New Behaviors into Daily Habits21:03 How to Talk to Women with Passion on Dates—and Why They Love It28:15 How John’s Improv Comedy Experience Helped Him Defeat Fear33:53 The Healing Power of Gratitude: Lessons from Losing a Loved One40:47 How to Show a Woman You’re Dating that She Truly Matters42:22 The Right Way to Talk to Women About Your Career46:52 A Fun Improv Game You Can Play to Get Women LaughingListen now and take your love life from dull to dynamic—because you want to talk to women about much more than Minecraft.TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JOHN AND HIS COACHING:www.johnrmiles.com/TO GET JOHN’S BESTSELLING BOOK ‘PASSION STRUCK’:https://www.amazon.com/Passion-Struck-Powerful-Principles-Intentional-ebook/dp/B0CGS248NR/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1707604358&sr=1-1TO LISTEN TO JOHN’S TOP-RATED PODCAST:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283TO HIRE JOHN AS A KEYNOTE SPEAKER:www.harrywalker.com/speakers/john-r-milesWATCH JOHN’S INSPIRING YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW7cQNjZTEAFOR A FREE STRATEGY CALL WITH CONNELL TO LEARN HOW TO HAVE GREAT FIRST DATES:http://www.datingtransformation.com/contactTO GET FREE ACCESS TO “THE FLIRTY 30,” CHARMING QUESTIONS TO ASK WOMEN ON DATES, ON THE APPS, AND WHEN YOU APPROACH:http://www.datingtransformation.com/FLIRTY30WANT A FREE COPY OF CONNELL’S NO. 1 AMAZON BESTSELLING BOOK, “DATING SUCKS BUT YOU DON’T”?
