Episode five, you are getting into the upper stratosphere of repeat guests now. I love that. Next one we'll have to do in person. I'll buy you a beer. I'm down.

I'm down. All right. Young men, if you choose the wrong woman, you are sacrificing your goals for a life spent managing her problems that she refuses to fix. The right woman will augment your life goals. She'll be a jet engine strapped to your back that pushes you ahead even faster.

I've been teaching men this lately. I got a new course out about marriage. You are supposed to be the CEO in a relationship life family that you're building. You need to pick a woman who's an appropriate COO, operations officer who's going to work with you, a co-executive. You don't need a woman that's lagging behind, that's dragging at you that you can't get to the office to work, and you also don't want to have her take the lead over you because she'll resent you.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
