Love takes time. Seeing him every other day and talking all day long can't make that process happen faster. It takes time for that to happen. And a man who's after quick and casual doesn't want to put in that time. Men who are seriously dating are willing to put in that time because the most valuable thing we have is time.
The guy who's meant for you, who wants to be with you, won't mind going slower because he sees the big picture. He sees your value. Right when he met you, this is a girlfriend material. Like, I want to push this towards there. And he will be willing to put in that work to get there.
Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, I'm ready for my close-up.
Of course. What an intro.
I'm ready to break into song whenever you need. You know, I'm ready.
I do. I mean, that's why I have the handheld mic. I'm in a band. I've been a musician my whole life. So, yeah, that's why I got the handheld.
Yeah, no, it's a great question. So I think it sort of parallels with my own journey as a man, you know? So let's rewind 15 years or so, you know, getting into college. And I was always a charismatic person. I was class clown in high school.
No, but like, you know, these are my- these are my skill sets. But no, but the point is I wasn't good with women. Like I really wasn't. I was always asking my friends for advice. And because I was like, why am I not getting this? There's something I'm not getting. So at that time we're talking, I don't know, maybe 2011 or so something like that.
I started watching content creators at that time in the dating space and learning like, what am I doing wrong here? Like there is a skill to this. There's a skill to being attractive and tapping into your inner confidence and being attractive.
And just through my own, like I said, self-help journey, becoming a man, discovering myself, like really growing, I started to realize like, oh, wow, like I'm pretty good at this. And a lot of people just kind of naturally always gravitated to me for advice throughout the years. And I've always wanted a platform where I was helping people, coaching people, inspiring people.
And it just kind of took me a while to really launch it. And about a year and a half ago or so, maybe like two years ago at this point, I launched the page, the Daddy Academy, which was just like an inside joke, the name of the page between me and my friends. I go, I just send funny videos to my friends, just kind of trying to inspire them to hit the gym and stuff like that.
I'm like, come on, Daddy Academy, let's get going. So I started posting videos and it was for the first like six months or so, slow as it typically is on social media. And then one day – because I was only talking towards men. I was like – my focus was I want to help men like me who were a little lost and trying to find themselves and get that inner confidence. And I was trying to coach men.
But as you might know on the internet when it comes to men dating advice, you typically see just a lot of toxic masculinity. And I was talking about very positive self-help kind of stuff. So it wasn't really hitting. And someone mentioned to me like, why don't you make a video – Talking about men but for women. And I'm like, that's a pretty good idea. I have a younger sister.
I've helped her and her friends count for years with dating advice. And I'm like, okay, yeah, that makes sense because essentially giving advice to women from where I'm at and through my experience is just flipping the cap around and giving sort of the opposite sort of perspective. So I made a video of what it means to have daddy energy, as my page is called.
And it went viral overnight, got like 30,000 followers in a day. And I just kind of kept answering the questions like and it's all women, women, women. I'm like, well, you know, there's there's a need in this space that I just kind of naturally stepped into. And who am I to fight it if women want the man dating coach and they want me to be a women's dating coach for the most part?
I still coach with some men, but primarily it's women. So I'm like, I'm going to keep rolling with it. And I love it. And it's been great. It's been amazing. And that's sort of, you know, a year later. And that's kind of where we are today.
That's great. I love that you're talking about it from a business perspective as well. I think when it comes to that, it's always about following the passion. And if you're not tapping into that inner soul purpose of the passion and why you want to do something, it's going to feel like you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. And it's not going to fit.
And you're not going to wake up with that inspiration every morning to do it. And I saw the need. I saw the people that needed my help. And I see the reaction of people who I have helped. And I love that. And whether I'm helping men or women, I equally found that same gratification in it.
So I made the pivot and it went great and inspired me even more to realize, oh, wow, like there was this need here that I could really step in and be a really important voice in this space. And I'm going to do it. And I think it's because I never – set out to be a woman's coach, which is why it has worked so well.
Cause I didn't like try to be like, Oh yeah, I'm going to try to give women all this man dating advice. It just naturally happened, which I think sometimes if you just follow your purpose and like, I keep saying like your passion and what you're drawn to and wanting to do for others, Like there's always like, OK, we all want to make money. We all want to do this and that.
