00:00You will learn here how to gain power, status, and the friends and mates you want.
00:04Power to us means the ability to get what you want, so we share the mindsets, strategies,
00:09and behaviors that help you live life the way you want it.
00:13But we don't want to serve just about anyone. We want to serve the people we refer to as good men.
00:20Now, I think there is a risk using the expression good men, and the risk is to sound naive, childish,
00:27or even grandstanding and virtue signaling.
00:30It may even come across as disempowering, because good men can be dangerously too close to
00:36too nice guy, and many men are rightfully tired to be nice guys.
00:41We do not want you to be a too nice guy, and actually we teach men how to stop being one.
00:48So to avoid any of that, let's define what we mean by good men.
00:52A good man is not a martyr, he's not a do-gooder, and he's not a good Samaritan,
00:57but he is someone with a conscience. A good man is also not necessarily a selfless man,
01:04but instead he wants to advance in life and do well for himself.
01:09He prefers to advance in life while also adding value to the people around.
01:14A good man may not be in the position to always and only tell the full truth and
01:19nothing but the truth, but he prefers talking straight,
01:23and he prefers engaging with people with whom he can talk straight.
01:29Finally, a good man believes in at least the possibility of win-win.
01:34Win-win means to engage with others and both of you being better off.
01:39A good man prefers the win-win rather than, say,
01:43taking from others and leaving them worse off.
01:47Now here comes the problem though.
01:48A good man doesn't necessarily make for an effective and successful man,
01:53and that is where we enter the picture.
01:56If you felt anything close to the good man description, we are here to help.
02:01We are here to help you become more effective and successful.
02:04And here is the good news for you.
02:06Good men benefit the most from our work,
02:09and that is because many good men need our work the most.
02:14Good men are often low in dark trial traits, narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
02:21Good men often also have little intuitive sense
02:25for the game of power that is necessary to advance in life.
02:30That leaves them at a marked disadvantage.
02:32At a marked disadvantage to gain leadership roles, status, power, or attraction from women.
02:39And to cut it all off, good men are often clueless about manipulation.
02:43That means that these good men aren't only failing to maximizing their potential,
02:49but they also make for easy targets for the not-so-good men and women of this world.
02:56Those not-so-good men and women can easily take advantage of good men.
03:00As a matter of fact, Machiavelli said it first,
03:04a good man is ruined among the many who are not good.
03:08And he was perfectly right.
03:10The good news, with us on your side, there is no ruining you.
03:15You, my friend, are going to be a life winner.
03:19Now a quick note on who we do not serve.
03:22We do not serve the opposite of good men.
03:26Bad men are men without a conscience.
03:30Men who constantly lie, gaslight, and manipulate.
03:34Men who cannot even manage to talk straight.
03:37These are what we call here takers, because they always take.
03:42They either prefer win-lose, or they don't even see the possibility for win-win.
03:48And that colors every interaction they have.
03:51In business, they seek to scam.
03:53In friendships, they undermine.
03:55And in relationships, they seek to control women with coercion and manipulation.
04:00Their approach is to push others down instead of pulling up.
04:04Their approach is to force others instead of making others want them.
04:09If that is you, this is not the place for you.
04:12Leave the website right now and please do not purchase our products.
04:16Again, same for the intro on good men, we need to make a crucial note.
04:21We do not endorse psychopathic and predatory approaches,
04:24but we carefully study and share them.
04:28And that is because we teach here what is effective.
04:31And we do that very realistically.
04:34We know that what's most effective sometimes is not win-win.
04:39Win-loses and more predatory approach
04:42can sometimes be more effective than honest behavior.
04:46Of course, that is the case.
04:48You just need to look around.
04:49Only dumb, naive self-help lulled the masses
04:53to believe that being good is always the best policy.
04:57It is not.
04:58And we also teach you how more predatory approaches work.
05:03So we also teach aggression, disempowering dominance,
05:06manipulation, dark psychology, etc.
05:10Why do we do that?
05:11Well, there are several reasons why.
05:13Number one, because our very first value is truth.
05:17The power moves cannot stand comfortable lies and naivety.
05:21So we describe the reality of what works, even when we may not endorse it.
05:27Number two, because most situations aren't fully black and white.
05:31Most situations are actually grey areas,
05:34and some grey areas can be fair to pursue,
05:37especially when they mean a lot to you and have a little cost to others.
05:41We call that a utilitarian approach and we believe it's fair.
05:45Third, because sometimes, in some situations,
05:49and especially with some people, win-loses can be fair.
05:53Number four, because this knowledge is essential to assess other people's characters.
06:00Finally, it's because you need to know
06:03how covert coercion and manipulation work to defend yourself.
06:09Ultimately, the truth is foundational for life effectiveness and for self-defense.
06:14So we teach everything that works here.
06:16But we embrace and promote the more win-win and what we call straight approach.
06:22Our approach is to always prefer to be straight and honest.
06:26But number one, to be aware of the limitations of that approach.
06:30And number two, to only be straight and honest with the people who deserve so.
06:36And depending where you are in life, there may be a tiny minority of people.
06:41So why do we prefer this straight approach?
06:44Number one, because it's my preference.
06:46Honestly, as simple as that.
06:49I do not want hassles in my life and we do not want to deal with them as a business.
06:55But it's not only my preference.
06:57That is the preference of almost every single individual on earth,
07:02especially high quality people with the freedom and power to choose.
07:07And number two, also because the straight approach we propose tends to be more effective.
07:13It tends to be more effective with the people that matter most
07:16and in the environments where most people live.
07:20What do we mean by that?
07:21Straight behavior from a high power, high value man works wonders.
07:26It makes for much better and stronger relationships and friendships.
07:30It makes men look up to you and it makes women naturally attracted to you.
07:35And it works better with higher quality people,
07:38which are exactly the people you want in life.
07:41Finally, win-win and making people want to associate with you
07:45works a lot better in free society and democracies.
07:50Again, so truth first.
07:52There is an important caveat here.
07:54The straight approach works much better
07:57once you start becoming a higher value and higher power man.
08:01Luckily, you can most certainly do that.
08:04I've done it, many people in the community have done it
08:07and it's exactly what we teach here, how to become higher value and higher power.
08:13Once you do that, you can add on top being a straight-talking, upstanding man
08:18and you will reap all the rewards and benefits.
08:21We call that stage of self-development the eagle stage,
08:25hence our logo and our tagline,
08:28growing, soaring higher and flying with the eagles.
08:31Finally, about our mission.
08:33Empowering good men is part and parcel of our mission.
08:36It supports our mission.
08:38And we do have a lofty mission.
08:41Our mission is to revolutionize the way we humans develop civilization.
08:46Dark triads acquiring power and beating good men
08:50is one of the biggest bugs of civilization
08:54and it's one of the most underappreciated and unaddressed problems.
08:59We help fix that issue by empowering good men to win and advance,
09:04one good man at a time.
09:06When good men win, it's great for them and it's great for all.
09:11We see it as our duty at TPM to help good men become successful men.
09:16But we also see it as your duty.
09:19Your duty as a good man to become a high power, high quality, effective man.
09:25Because when good men remain ineffective,
09:28more wrestlers reach the top, more wrestlers date the best women,
09:32more wrestlers take more from us all and more wrestlers make the world a poorer place.
09:38So when good men lose, we all lose.
09:41So you, my friend, must take it upon yourself to become an effective man.
09:47So how do we give you the best possible chance of winning?
09:51We utilize a novel approach to self-development and self-advancement,
09:56centered around the science and partially the art of power.
10:00We call the discipline Power Dynamics.
10:03This new Power Dynamics lens allowed us to provide more effective solutions.
10:08We share this new approach to self-development on this website,
10:12on our channel and of course even more in our products.
10:16And we focus particularly on people's skills.
10:19Socialization, power, seduction and dating, frame control, self-promotion, advancing at work,
10:25assessing people's characters, manipulation, etc. etc.
10:29We start from the mindset, then the strategies and down to the practical techniques,
10:34including exactly what to say.
10:36Everything we teach is either scientific, tested, logical or proven to work over and over,
10:43often by many people and in many situations and scenarios.
10:47Often all of them that I just said.
10:49In short, that means what you learn here works.
10:53And with our work, we turn good men into high-quality, high-achieving winners.
10:58Eagles.
11:00In a nutshell, that's about us, what we stand for, who we serve and how we can help you.
11:05So welcome here, read on and start winning.
11:09Cheers, my friends.
