A dire dissection of a CINEMATICALLY toxic relationship, bad game, pitfalls of prominence & poisonous passion 🎙️ with Stephen Paul Edwards

Friday, March 20, 2026

There's a trite piece of advice that every man has heard a thousand times, and is bored of hearing: Choose a woman for her character, NOT her beauty.

And I won't repeat that advice; I contend that the savvy seducer can get both virtue and beauty in one package. That's what I did, and I wrote a 500-page book about how to make that magic happen. Recently, I finished a book that makes an almost comically perfect companion to mine: "Venus Fly Trap" — the memoir of a man who seduced the enduring affections of a succubus from the ninth circle of hell. I’m speaking metaphorically. Just barely.

I'm joined by Stephen Paul Edwards, who has a PhD in Spiritual Counseling and 20+ years working alongside leaders like Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, and Dean Graziosi. Stephen brings an experiential lens to personal growth, and he's the author of "Venus Fly Trap."
