Speaker 0
03:16 - 03:19
Thank you. Thank you for the great introduction.
S2
Speaker 2
03:21 - 03:25
You're welcome. And is there anything else you would like to add?
S0
Speaker 0
03:25 - 03:44
The only thing I'd add right now is that one of the things that I am doing is I am a men's life coach. OK. And I work with men, most of the time who are financially successful, who have issues in their relationships with their spouses, their kids, and fitness.
S2
Speaker 2
03:47 - 03:54
OK. Well, we will talk since you started there. What led you into life coaching?
S0
Speaker 0
03:56 - 04:18
Somebody that I knew suggested who knew me relatively well suggested I do it. I've actually had several people tell me I should do this. And so I, I started this about a couple of years ago and it's been an interesting journey. I have conversations with men that they would never have with anyone.
S4
Speaker 4
04:19 - 04:19
Hmm.
S0
Speaker 0
04:20 - 04:21
Including their spouse.
S4
Speaker 4
04:22 - 04:22
Hmm.
S0
Speaker 0
04:24 - 04:44
And so it's sometimes they're brutal. Sometimes people are crying. Sometimes they're laughing. But my job is to sift out the ball stick and make sure that they're speaking honestly. The harder the obstacles are.
S2
Speaker 2
04:45 - 05:27
Hmm. Dr. Oress, wow, wow. You have such an edgy approach with your clients. How is that received? One, and secondly for women, we have to maybe trust our doctor, our coach, our therapist before we open up. and it can take a few sessions, it can take months. What is the timeframe with your clients?
S0
Speaker 0
05:29 - 06:11
Well, okay, so let me try. I think, Missy, you kind of asked this question earlier and I didn't really answer it. Maybe I started to and then I get off track quite often and I spend a lot of time talking. So, and I realized that. My kids tell my dad all the time. Uh, so the process is very simple. The process is, oh yeah, because we got off on the intimacy thing. The process is an analysis of where you are. Okay. Very honest about where you are. Uh, because you need to know as a starting point, you know, where you are in intimacy, where you are in terms of your fitness, your health, what you can do, what you can't do, to a certain extent finances.
S0
Speaker 0
06:11 - 07:02
I also spent a little time, I also spent some time on faith. Uh, which is, that's kind of the hardest one to quantify, but that also is quantifiable. Um, and then once we know where you are and your, your relationship with your spouse spills over into your business. Okay. Your fitness spills over in your business. I've had, I I've asked, I've had men that are obese. in my program. And I've looked at self, I've looked at them, I go like, would you like to screw yourself? Do you think your wife finds you attractive? With a big old belly in front of you?
S0
Speaker 0
07:03 - 07:55
Yeah, so it's not a safe space, Missy. But when I'm like that, they know I speak the truth. It's not deniable. I mean, my onboarding process is flawless. So we get into a lot of detail. But the first step is to find out where are you. The next step is to find out what you want. And this is where Simon Sinek has it all wrong. You don't start with why. First, you find out where you are, then you find out what you want, and then you ask yourself, why do I want that? And if you don't have a good enough why for that what, you have the wrong what.
S2
Speaker 2
07:58 - 07:59
Wow. I
S1
Speaker 1
08:00 - 08:01
love that.
S2
Speaker 2
08:01 - 08:03
Repeat that. The where, what, why.
S0
Speaker 0
08:05 - 08:39
And if you don't, like I said, if you don't have the right, if you can't get a good why, you probably have a wrong what. And a lot of times this is, this is around things that people think that they should do. Okay. Well, there are things that I should do that I don't want to do. I don't even, I don't even pretend that I want to anymore. There are things, you know, probably not a good idea that I have a cigar two or three times a week. You know, I shouldn't do that. Well, I don't give a shit.
S0
Speaker 0
08:40 - 09:24
I like my cigars. I like my vices. So I'm not gonna say, oh, you know, I'm not gonna make up a why about what a load was. I know all that shit, but I don't want to. That's not what I want. And then the last thing is the how. And the how, you have to have a plan. But that plan at the same time has to be adjustable because as you progress, you may see certain things are not working the way you thought they would. And so it has to be, you have to be able to pivot and do so by looking at the results.
S0
Speaker 0
09:24 - 10:10
I mean, I'm gonna be getting on a call here later on where a gentleman wants to reach a certain target, wait. And he's been on course to do that, but now we're going in the wrong direction. It happens all the time. I mean, I'm not perfect. I, you know, sometimes I start to do something and it just doesn't work out, you know, something, or I'm screwing it up. I'm weak. So, so we need to figure out what he's doing, uh, to modify it and modify his approach to things. So your, your how needs to be malleable.
S0
Speaker 0
10:10 - 10:50
And if people, people always like go, people want to start with how and they're screwed. They're screwed there. They'll never get to, they'll never get that. That's, that's, you see that it's a, at meetings sometimes where all these people are to the speaker's podium and they start asking you how, how, how, how, how, and they're like, I could tell you how, but that doesn't make, I could tell you, you could get all the hows of how to ski by watching videos, but that's not gonna make you a great skier. It'll just make you an expert watching videos and skiing, which won't get you closer to what you want if that's what you want.
S0
Speaker 0
10:51 - 11:42
So that's the process. And then once, once we do that, then we sell on the house and just keep track. Typically my program is a 12-week program that we set goals that will expand where you are, but they're not going to be totally unrealistic goals that will only lead to frustration. And the other thing I tell you, no. You can't be anything you want, okay? That's stupid when people say that to someone. I could practice basketball all day, 20 hours a day. I will never play in the NBA. Even when I was at the height of my athleticism, it wasn't gonna happen.
S0
Speaker 0
11:43 - 12:20
You could tell me, you could give me all those positive self-talk and affirmations and this and that and da, da, da, da. It just ain't gonna happen. It's the same thing. People say, oh, I want to be a billionaire. Well, you haven't even made $100,000 yet. Why don't you make $100,000 and then make your first million and then move on from there before you start talking about wanting to be a billionaire? Because it's usually somebody who's working a minimum wage job that thinks it's just a matter of luck. That's the other one where I kind of go off.
S0
Speaker 0
12:20 - 12:57
Sometimes I just go off. And sometimes people see you driving a nice car and they go, oh, you're lucky. And I look around, I look at him and I go like, what have you done in the last six months to improve who you are as a human being, officer? And usually it's like silence. That's why you have a crappy life. That's the reality. You don't do anything to improve yourself as a human being. So again, don't say, what's that? it's a it's a sometimes it's a wild ride with my wife sometimes she's used to it she just just goes okay
S1
Speaker 1
12:58 - 13:31
this is great i have one other question which i've seen sort of come up and it's not something we've kind of gotten towards at all which is the other aspect of sort of a guy who's been very career focused and he's now you know retiring and he's you know he was the chief engineer at somewhere he had a lot of title and circumstances pomp and he sort of felt, you know, he had a certain vision of himself and now he's retiring and it's like he's lost his identity and trying to find himself again. Can you talk a little bit about that aspect?
S1
Speaker 1
13:31 - 13:37
Cause I think there was probably a lot of men that that is something that comes up for them or
S0
Speaker 0
13:37 - 13:38
maybe I'm
S1
Speaker 1
13:38 - 13:38
wrong. Okay. I
S0
Speaker 0
13:39 - 14:28
don't plan on retiring. And part of that is there's a study from Shell Oil Company a while back that talks about what happens when dudes retire. They die. Okay, not just literally, they die. And the younger they retire, the younger they die. So, and I, we, we had, we had a friend who's very successful, had a eight figure exit from his business. And I think the first number was a six or something. So basically $60 million or whatever. So, you know, we had a friend of mine, she said, she referred, he also had a big exit from her business.
S0
Speaker 0
14:28 - 15:02
And she said, she said, Oh yeah, that's, that's my fuck you money. That's my money that I don't care what you think. But he was the, he was the most, he played golf every day and he was the most miserable person that I knew. As a matter of fact, he was so miserable, he stopped hanging around with me. He would just constantly complain, and then he wouldn't do anything to improve the condition of his life. But he'd always be asked. He'd always ask, and then he wouldn't follow. And so there's a term for that. It's called ask-holes.
S0
Speaker 0
15:03 - 15:42
They continually ask you for advice. And I've literally said this to people, too. Like, will you stop fucking asking me the same question? You asked me that six months ago, and you haven't done anything. Don't ask me again. unless you're ready to commit to change. Again, it's kind of like, yeah, people, you know, at some point, people need to take responsibility. But the retirement thing is a real issue. For a while there, we lived in a 55 and older community. And I hated it. I hated it because everyone there was half a half a step or a full step in God's waiting room.
S0
Speaker 0
15:45 - 16:13
And they, you know, the gym was the worst. I lift very heavy. I still lift very heavy. I mean, a hundred pound dumbbells for bench press and things like that. So when I went into the gym and I would grunt at this 55 and over for me, people were thinking you're having a heart attack. They'd be coming over and asking you, why don't you call 911? Get away from me. So now I go to like a regular gym where, you know, I'm, first of all, I'm not the strongest person in that gym by no means, but I don't have every time I grunt.
S0
Speaker 0
16:13 - 16:44
Uh, you don't have everyone coming over and trying to see you, you know, I had one woman was yelling at me. I've got these heavy weights over my head and lifting heavy weights is mental. I mean, you have to be physically strong, but a lot of it is mental, you know, being the focus and concentration to form everything. It's really mental. And she started yelling at me that I'm going to give myself a heart attack and this and that. And she's like two feet away from me. I'm laying on my back at the bench press with these hundred pound dumbbells over my head.
S0
Speaker 0
16:45 - 17:23
And first of all, I yell at her to get away from me. And I said, are you nuts? Are you nuts? Do you realize how much danger you put me in and yourself? If I drop these weights and they land on your foot, you'll never walk again. You'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. And I'm not going to drop these weights on myself and injure myself. Um, so yeah, no, it was, but a lot of times you get the retirement thing is really a bad thing for dudes. It's really a bad thing, you know, get involved in some civic organizations, um, you know, things like that.
S0
Speaker 0
17:24 - 17:56
But my wife used to sell companies and that was one of the things that they found was that after a year or so, a year, over a year ago, the people that, that sold the company. were looking to buy a company because they were bored stiff and they needed that purpose. Now, if you hate your job, that's a whole nother ballgame because there's lots of people that hate their job. But if you love what you're doing, why would you stop?
S1
Speaker 1
17:59 - 18:13
Yeah, you can just adjust for it. Maybe you're doing it three days a week versus five days a week or mornings and then doing your hobbies or other adventures or charity work or what have you in the afternoons, shifting it around or finding that second career as you did.
S2
Speaker 2
18:16 - 18:25
Dr. Oress, what are some of the misconception of aging for men? I
S0
Speaker 0
18:26 - 19:06
think the biggest one, again, I'm gonna go back to this whole thing about testosterone and all the fallacies. And there's actually been a major study just came out in 2024 that talked about all the things that we were told that testosterone would cause. The biggest thing is what most people don't realize is outside of all the physical benefits of maintaining muscle mass, all sorts of other things, testosterone is a monster antidepressant. And that's in my opinion. I'm not a physician. But that's been my experience. It's been the experience of men that I've helped get on testosterone.
S0
Speaker 0
19:07 - 19:54
And when they have to get off for short periods of time, they hate it. They hate it. And so it is a monster antidepressant for men. It makes you more basically decisive. They have a can-do attitude. I think in some ways, I would say for me, my experience is that I feel younger. I don't feel like I'm 72. Now, sometimes my body tells me that I'm 72, when I get injured and things like that, or stuff happens. As you get older, sometimes stuff comes out of nowhere. And one of my mantras is, every day is a battle to keep the decrepit old man out.
S0
Speaker 0
19:57 - 20:28
And it happens. You see this in the gym. You see some guy, you know, in the 60s, 70s, you know, in the gym, really active. They vanish for a few months. Next thing you know, they come back and they're a shadow of who they were. My cardiologist was like that. When he came in, I hadn't seen him in two years. He came in, I looked at him and I'm going, what the fuck happened to you? It turned out he had back surgery and light threatening staff. They had the air back in Las Vegas to the USC in Los Angeles and things like that.
S0
Speaker 0
20:28 - 20:52
So he was beat up physically. So that is probably one of the major things is to be really good about it. And stuff comes out of nowhere. So in January of 2022, Oh, it's a word that's banding around diverticulitis.
S3
Speaker 3
20:52 - 20:53
Okay. And I
S0
Speaker 0
20:53 - 21:36
don't know if you're familiar with that is yeah. Yeah. Basically you can't ship. Uh, and so, uh, that's a, that's a problem. And I've had, I had several bouts of it, um, you know, in, in, in the previous two years. And so, uh, I had to go and get it cut out. Now, what happens when that happens is that. God gives you two ears, one nose, two eyes, one mouth, and one asshole. When you have your diversity lights cut out, there's a surgeon who comes and separates your intestine from your rectum, and you shit out your stomach into a bag.
S0
Speaker 0
21:38 - 22:23
Okay, so my morning consisted of waking up and shitting on myself for two hours. And that was from January to May. Now that's life-altering. And my wife's an angel, and you know, she played up. You know, it was amazing. But that's life-altering. And it was the whole time that I was fighting that, mentally, I had to work on making sure that mentally I was strong. And to a certain extent, it made you, you know, we couldn't get the bag to stay on for a while. It took several weeks to find out, you know, a wound specialist that was able to show us how to keep the bag so we could go out a little bit.
S0
Speaker 0
22:24 - 22:54
I remember we were being ready just to go out and I looked at my shoes and there was some shit on my shoes. So much for that even. And so life like that happens, but you have the whole point of keeping the decrepit old man out. You're not going to stop getting old, but it's the decrepit part that you need to work on. and to never, ever, ever give in. I mean, there's some certain realities, but you just never really give in mentally.
S2
Speaker 2
22:55 - 23:16
May I ask how you overcame the diverticulitis? Because it's a common diagnosis now. And I'm saying common because I have had the experience and had the surgeries where they cut out a piece of my intestine. So that's why I'm asking the question.
S0
Speaker 0
23:17 - 23:57
Yeah, basically, you know, they they did that and then it was started in January, then May, they put them back together. OK, so that was, you know, there was some relief knowing that it was essentially a temporary matter. And so we were able to deal with it knowing that. But it was it was trying. I'm facing another challenge now. I fainted a couple of times and we can't figure out why. And so I went to go see a neurologist. I had a heart work up in December and my cardiologist told me I was one of the healthiest patients in his practice.
