PODCAST 🎙️: In 2005, investigative reporter Neil Strauss published "The Game", his first-person account of joining a "seduction community" that taught him the ways of pickup artistry. The controversial book was a blockbuster, selling millions of copies.

Since then, Neil has reinvented himself, and I wanted to talk with him about walking away from his identity of success. This led to a much deeper conversation about what success even is.

Neil and I don't see eye-to-eye on everything in this conversation, but I loved talking with him because he challenges my ideas. I hope this episode challenges you as well—to continue questioning what the definition of success should be.
