Hey guys,

I’m in Austin right now filming a promo video and am looking for guys who are okay with being filmed during a 2-day coaching session. Your face may or may not be shown, though we’re not going to tag you or write your name or anything.

Regular price for my boot camps are $2997. But because this is a promo event, I’m going to give a 90% discount to those who are interested/accepted. That means that instead of paying $3000, you’re going to get about $2700 off. Total price is therefore $300.

This is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime deal so if you’re in the Texas area and you’ve been thinking about coaching, now would be the time to act.

The date for this event is Nov 11-12, 2011 and you must be either in the Austin area or be willing to travel.

Note that we obviously can’t take everyone — this is first come, first serve, and you’ll need to fill out an application in order to be considered.

If you’re interested, you can fill out the app here.

Hey all,

Quick update here on the blog. I’m sure by now you’ve all heard of both the NYC Dating Conference in Manhattan and the Hollywood PUA Summit going on this month. I’ll be speaking at both events, and as usual, will be presenting never-seen-before content. None of this “recycle the same speech for 2 years straight” stuff. Sure it’s easier as a speaker, but it’s also disappointing to show up to see someone speak and then you realize it’s the exact same stuff you heard last year.

This year I’m also going to throw in some cool bonuses for guys who are on the fence. This is your opportunity to not only see me speak along with dozens of other top-rated instructors, but to get hooked up with free coaching! Starting this weekend, I’ll be speaking at the NYC Dating Super Conference and then I’ll be heading back to Hollywood for the annual PUA Summit the weekend of Sept 24th.

So here’s the deal:

The next 3 people who sign up for either event get a FREE half hour sticking point strategy session ($100 value) with me LIVE! (Just use the contact form on my website after signing up.)

Sign up here:
NYC: 2011 Dating Conference
Hollywood: PUA Summit 2011 or PUA Summit 2011 VIP Ticket

And for those of you who are looking for infield coaching, it gets even better. For the next 2 people who sign up for discounted infield coaching with me during either event, I will BUY you a ticket to attend the conference for FREE!

Remember, this is only good for the next few sign ups so do NOT procrastinate on this or you’ll miss out. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Every year the stragglers ask and every year the answer is no).

It’s been a few weeks now since returning home to California and I feel like I’ve barely managed to make a dent in this pile of email that accumulated during my travels. The count for unread email should NEVER be in the 4-figure range. But I digress. If you’ve emailed me and haven’t heard back, rest assured, I’m working on it. If it’s of an urgent nature, of course, send me another email or give me a call.

For those of you who came to see Nick and I speak on my Americas Tour, thank you for the support and especially to those of you who lent a hand along the way with rides, places to stay, etc. The tour was once again an unforgettable experience meeting hundreds of motivated guys, making new friends, seeing new places, and just experiencing all that life has to offer. Over 15 cities in 30 days including 3 in South America and two in the Caribbean. Read the rest of this entry »

Halloween comes early for Colombia

Finally back from the 2010 Americas Tour and definitely overdue for a bunch of updates to the blog but rest assured, those are coming soon along with a bunch of goodies, prizes, and new content. For those of you who came to see me speak on tour, make sure you send in your “applications” for the prizes I’ll be giving away soon. Check back here for more updates and winner announcements.

In the mean time, my colleague Brad has put together an interesting little quiz. Well, if I’m being honest, he put together what *I’ve* been meaning to do for a long time now. I’ve always wanted to put together some sort of computer program that asked you a series of questions and then gave you an analysis of your sticking points. That’s essentially what I do in 1-on-1 sticking point analysis, only more in-depth. So when I heard about this quiz he had put out, I was jealous that he got to it first happy to see that great minds think alike.

Anyhow, take a look and let me know what you guys think in the comments. I did it with a bunch of sample data and it was pretty damn spot on. Maybe Brad’s not really that smart and it’s really just a coach sitting there behind the computer typing answers. Hahaha

Take the Quiz here.

It’s that time again.

Yesterday I arrived in Seattle — the first leg of my 2nd annual “Americas” Tour where I travel around North and South America stopping in nearly every major city to do free lair talks and presentations. Last year’s trip to Colombia was one of the greatest growth opportunities and experiences of my life, and I expect no different this year. Read the rest of this entry »

I normally don’t do this because I’m a hardass and expect men to be men and be responsible adults. But I suppose I’ve gone soft because I’m giving you procrastinators one last chance.

Today is the deadline for applications for the free boot camp offer for those who attended T21C Orlando 2010. That’s right, for a measly $150 ticket price, some lucky-but-deserving-guy is going to get a $2000 boot camp — free. To my knowledge, I’m the first and only coach to give out actual training vouchers as prizes at live events. But it’s no longer going to be random. From now on, training voucher prizes are going to be more like scholarships — they will be awarded to the most worthy candidates.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, then I highly suggest you attend next year’s 21 Convention Event, either in Europe or Orlando. You just might get a free boot camp out of it.

I originally wrote this in like 2006 and it spread around all the forums back then. Stumbled across it recently and decided to update it for 2010 as pick up has changed a lot since ’06. You old-timers will probably remember some of the references from back in the day.

10. You know who Eben, Erik, Neil, and Owen are, but you refuse to call them by their real names unless they insist. Sometimes not even then.

9. Every time you hang out with your friends/wings, you crack at least one joke “asking for a female opinion”.

8. Your former porn hiding space is now overrun with pickup books and DVDs.

7. When people mention “Tyler Durden” from Fight Club you’re not thinking of Brad Pitt. It’s actually weird to watch fight club again because all the references have different meanings to you. The project mayhem cult references are twice as funny in an inside-joke sort of way.

It’s that time again, gents. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already since the last 21 Convention event. For those of you fairly new to the blog, last year’s convention was my first major speaking engagement after having resigned from the old company and starting out on my own. Even though I had decent media exposure from my previous employer, I was, for the most part, walking into the convention as a “nobody.” In fact, I was technically a fill-in for someone else who couldn’t make it. And even when I gave the speech, I thought I was bombing it.

But to my surprise, the reviews, emails, and feedback started pouring in and apparently people liked it. That one little speech seemingly launched my career, giving way to MTV deals, interviews, documentary appearances, and tons of exposure. But even more important than that were Read the rest of this entry »

For this week’s tip I decided to give away some of my favorite routines, sound bites, and humor techniques. “Sound bites” is a term that I stole from my old wing Philos (who was featured on the infield insider and who is still to this day one of my most skilled wings) who confessed one day that much of his amazingly effective humor came from the thousand of so soundbites that he had memorized over the years. I didn’t understand this at the time (Philos, if you’re reading this, this was in 2006 when we were at the kaleidoscope mall together), but I later started to acquire my own “sound bank” of witty quips, comebacks, and funny one-liners and it all made sense.

In a ‘pickup’ type interaction, most humor comes from combining general technique (e.g., sarcasm, Read the rest of this entry »
