There are false myths about men that are unhelpful to everyone; themselves, the people who love them, and their relationships. So on this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, our mission is to understand men and "the male experience," especially when it comes to self-development. To this end, I've enlisted the support of my fellow couples counselors, therapists and life coaches, Zachary Gaiter, and Seth Bender

Here are just some of the questions about men we're discussing:

• Why can it be so hard to get men to open up?
• Is it true that men are less likely to get involved in personal growth work, or want to pursue couples counseling?
• How can women help the men in their lives get help if they're worried about them?
• What are some things that men need to figure out, that women never even think about?
• What are some of the things that men really need their partners to know, but might not know how to say?
• What is the difference between a "guy" and a "man," in terms of male identity development?
• And what are some of the unique situations that men may be struggling with, but that never even get discussed?

All here for you, on today's episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.

Ghosts, Zombies and Breadcrumbs, Oh My!

If you've been on the modern dating scene for any time at all, you've probably become aware that the way people connect with each other is changing. Old "rules of dating" that we could once take for granted are no longer the norm. In fact, dating advice from just a few years ago might now steer you in the wrong direction if you're looking for love.

On this edition of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast I'm joined by Match.com's lead researcher and scientific advisor Dr. Helen Fisher, as well as Denver dating coach Markie Keelan, to talk about their latest dating advice and how you can make it work for you.

Here are just some of the dating questions we're discussing:

• What does it mean when someone you like disappears, only to show up again weeks or months later?
• How do a significant percentage of long-term relationships start these days? (Hint: Not  with a first date!)
• How can you tell if you're in a "situationship" that's going to turn into a real relationship? (Or not).
• Why does keeping your options open sometimes reduce the chance of finding authentic intimacy?
• How is the evolving political landscape impacting the way people behave when they're dating?
• Why are some parts of the country notorious for "Ghosts, Zombies and Breadcrumbs" - and what you can do to avoid this trap?

All for you, on this edition of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.
