#489: Your WORTH, Your RULES: How to Set Boundaries & ATTRACT the Right Person with Niko Emanuilidis, Founder of The Daddy Academy

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.
