Ep 1: Dan Bolton on Relationships, Divorce, Rejection

Share

This past week my interview on the Ryan Answers podcast went live. Ryan Jakovljevic is a relationship counseller and coach, a dating coach, and also does personal coaching and counselling as well. Ryan helps individuals and couples solve their relationship problems worldwide via Skype and over the phone, and also sees clients in person where he lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. If you're interested in working with him you can learn more here.

Not only did Ryan and I hit on an extensive range of topics about rejection, recovering from divorce, and marriage, this interview was a lot of fun. We could have gone on and on. In fact a lot was edited out just to make sure what Ryan published remained within a reasonable duration for how long a podcast is supposed to go. In other words, it is chock full of great information, practical tips for improving and strengthening your relationship, ways to handle rejection, and how to rise from the ashes of a divorce like a Phoenix!

Ryan also has an extensive range of great therapists and relationship experts lined up for his podcast. He has a knack for keeping the discussion entertaining without losing any of the cutting insights into the technical workings of relationships as they happen in real life. It's not a boring intellectual discussion of therapy concepts like most podcasts by therapists are out there. I'll certianly be tuning in regularly and I recommend you tune in as well!

There are not a whole lot of things I can imagine to be more emotionally painful than keeping the depth and complexity of their emotional lives fairly well hidden. This is one major reason I started a men's group this past year... So that men don't need to feel alone in their pain. This first group I have going is for men like you who have felt inadequate, not good enough, undeserving, or reluctant to be more assertive about going after the things you want out of life.

If you're a nice guy who is tired of being left in the dust, not getting the girl, or feel like you keep getting the short end of the stick in relationships, I am running an in-person and online group called Self Respect for Nice Guys. I'm here to coach you how to use your authentic personality to your advantage to get you where you want to be in life, and the type of attraction you want and find a happy, healthy relationship or turn the tide in one that is not making you happy. No more getting walked all over by women, no more seeing only other guys get the girl. It's your turn now... It's time to make it happen! This is for motivated men who are willing to take the next step, but need some direction. If you want to sign up for this group, do so here: www.selfrespectforniceguys.com. This is more than the regular email list. This group is for men who are ready to be active in the next step in their personal transformation. 

Make sure to reserve your spot in the group! Availability is limited... www.selfrespectforniceguys.com
