Elite Level Status Podcast

In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott, I sit down with Damien Rivera for a candid conversation about social media, trust, and what men actually want from women in today’s dating market.Damien explains why he believes social media has created an “illusion of options,” how men evaluate a woman’s Instagram before taking her seriously, and why boundaries need to be communicated without becoming controlling. We also talk about the qualities men value beyond physical attraction: peace, ambition, appreciation, and feeling genuinely seen by your partner. The conversation gets deeper as we discuss whether money and material success really help men attract women, and whether a woman’s past should still matter as people get older. Damien also shares why he wants a woman who has her own goals but is still capable of supporting the relationship when life gets difficult. Then we jump into Crazy or Not, where Damien gives his take on sharing phone passwords, sharing locations 24/7, opposite-sex friendships, and even the idea of marriages renewing every five years. The discussion ultimately comes back to trust, respect, vulnerability, and finding someone who feels like a safe space rather than another source of stress. Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott is about having honest conversations that help men and women understand each other better, build healthier relationships, and hopefully fix the modern dating market. Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share the episode with someone who needs to hear this conversation. Follow the show on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/letsfixmoderndating/Follow Damien Rivera on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dame_kutz/ This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/ 

In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating, I sit down with Jocelyn Cañas for an honest conversation about love bombing, boundaries, and what men and women may be getting wrong about modern relationships.We start with one of Jocelyn’s biggest dating pain points: love bombing. She describes it as someone trying to create an intense emotional connection too quickly through attention, gifts, constant communication, and saying all the right things before genuinely knowing you. She shares a personal experience where the relationship started intensely, but once she became emotionally invested, the consistency disappeared and boundaries began being disrespected. That leads us into an important question: When does effort become manipulation? We discuss why the version of yourself you present at the beginning of a relationship needs to be sustainable, and why people should date with honesty and intention instead of creating an unrealistic version of themselves just to win someone over. We also have a deeper conversation about masculine and feminine roles. Jocelyn says she prefers a man who can take the lead, especially in the early stages of dating, because it allows her to feel more comfortable in her feminine energy, but she also emphasizes communication, transparency, and making sure both people actually agree on what “traditional” roles mean. From there, things get even more interesting when we talk about money and marriage. Jocelyn says she would not want to financially support a man and explains why she believes women should still maintain some financial independence even if they have a partner capable of providing for them. Then she gives one of the most provocative takes of the episode:Marriage should be viewed as a business transaction.Jocelyn explains why she believes women who want children should be extremely intentional about who they marry because pregnancy, motherhood, career impact, physical health, and mental health can create major sacrifices. We also bring back Crazy or Not, where I give Jocelyn unconventional ideas that might, or might not, help fix modern dating.We debate:Should you run a background check before entering a relationship?Should couples share phone passcodes?Should couples share their locations 24/7?Should opposite-sex friendships be banned once you enter a relationship?The goal of Let’s Fix Modern Dating is not to blame men or women. It is to have honest conversations about what each side experiences, expose the misunderstandings between us, and find realistic ways to create healthier relationships.Question for the comments:Do you agree with Jocelyn that marriage should be treated more like a business decision? Or does that take the romance out of it?Subscribe to Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott for honest conversations about attraction, relationships, masculinity, femininity, dating standards, communication, and modern romance.Follow the show on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/letsfixmoderndating/Follow Jocelyn Cañas on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.flan.queen/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/ An Elite Level Status Podcast

In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott, I sit down with Dana Erzha for an honest conversation about why dating feels so difficult and what we can actually do to make it better.Dana shares what she believes men are getting wrong in modern dating, including a lack of accountability, consistency, respect, and follow-through. We break down what women actually mean when they say they want a confident man, why confidence has less to do with money or status than many men think, and how a man can demonstrate leadership without becoming controlling.We also dive into one of the biggest disconnects between men and women: loneliness. I argue that women only notice 1 out of every 10 men they see. Due to this, they may feel lonely because they don't like the options available to them. However, a large number of men experience a completely different reality where they literally have no romantic options at all.Dana then explains why women may only notice a small percentage of the men around them and says confidence and “leader energy” can make a man stand out even if he isn't the best-looking or richest guy in the room.And for the first time, we introduce “Crazy or Not”, a new segment where I present unconventional ideas that could potentially fix modern dating and ask Dana whether they're brilliant…or completely crazy.The goal of Let’s Fix Modern Dating isn't to blame men or women. It's to understand the experiences both sides are having, identify where we're misunderstanding each other, and find practical ways to create better relationships.Question for the comments:Do women overlook too many good men? Or do men need to become better at making themselves stand out?Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share the episode with someone who needs to hear this conversation. Follow the show on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/letsfixmoderndating/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Blu Fouch for her third appearance on the show and one of our most honest conversations yet about modern dating.We start by discussing phone behavior in dating and whether keeping your phone face down should be considered a red flag. Blu explains why transparency matters so much to her and why a man being honest about dating other women can actually make her respect him more, not less. From there, we get into whether couples should live together, the difference between being a true partner and simply becoming someone’s roommate, and how cohabitation can expose immaturity, poor habits, and a lack of consideration. Blu shares how living with a partner once made her feel more like a mother than a girlfriend, and why maintaining your own life and individuality is still important inside a relationship.The conversation then shifts into the biggest problems affecting the modern dating market. Blu reveals that she has gone on more than 60 dates in a year but genuinely liked only a few of them. She explains the patterns she sees in men who have not healed, constantly jump from one relationship to the next, and use new women to avoid being alone.We also debate why so many good men never receive the opportunity to prove themselves, why women may overlook average men who would treat them well, and how men can create attraction through healthy consistency, confident persistence, genuine effort, and intentional courtship.We close by discussing the importance of building a fulfilling life before expecting another person to complete it. A healthy relationship should add value to an already meaningful life, not become the only source of happiness, identity, or purpose.This episode is thoughtful, honest, and guaranteed to create debate. Let us know in the comments: Are women overlooking good men, or do men need to do a better job creating attraction?Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share the episode with someone who needs to hear this conversation. Follow the show on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/elitelevelstatus_podcast?igsh=MXM2Zjg1dTlhazNheA==Follow Blu Fouch on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/blulv.xo/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/ 

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Justin Brown again for another real conversation about modern dating, professionalism, and self-improvement.We start with something simple but powerful: professionalism. We talk about why responding in a timely manner, telling the truth, showing up on time, and moving with respect says a lot about how much someone actually values you. Justin also shares his thoughts on phone transparency in relationships, age gaps in dating, why women often don’t date the same type of man they claim they want, and why attraction has to be built before all the other relationship traits even matter. We break down why so many men get frustrated in dating, how social media has distorted expectations, and why men need to focus less on resenting women and more on becoming the kind of man women are naturally attracted to.This episode also touches on why life is not always fair, but that still doesn’t excuse men from putting in the work. Justin gives a lot of honest perspective on what women respond to, why some women seem “crazy” with one man and peaceful with another, and how desperation in today’s dating market has inflated a lot of people’s self-perception.This was one of those episodes that blends dating advice and life perspective in a way that a lot of people are going to relate to.If you enjoy this episode, make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this conversation.Follow for more conversations on relationships, self-development, and becoming elite in every area of life.Follow Justin Brown on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jsnoww101/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/elitelevelstatus_podcast/

We talk about her journey from dance to singing, how performing arts helped shape her, and why music became the place where she could fully come alive.We also get into the songwriting process and how some of her best songs have come from heartbreak, disappointment, and real-life experiences. Harmony explains how she writes from personal emotion, why pain tends to inspire her the most, and how music becomes both her therapy and her way of helping other people feel seen. She also talks about writing songs that are deeply relatable, the “downloads” that hit her when inspiration comes, and how she’s been able to create her own sound by blending country, pop, and rock influences into something that feels true to her.On the dating side, this episode gets very honest.

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Brittney Carter for a real conversation about modern dating, dating apps, and emotional connection. Brittney shares her perspective on why meeting people in person still matters, why dating apps can feel superficial and disconnected, and what makes it hard to build real chemistry through a screen. We talk about why emotional connection matters more than material flexing, why genuine conversation and intentionality go further than showing off money, and why so many people are craving something deeper in relationships.We also get into what a man needs to show for a woman to take him seriously, how men can take initiative without coming off cocky, and why character, humor, emotional intelligence, and follow-through matter so much more than surface-level attraction. This episode also has some great practical dating advice around in-person approach dynamics, why so many potential relationships never happen because both sides get nervous, and how men can send better DMs by actually paying attention to a woman’s content instead of sending generic compliments. This was one of those conversations that was both thoughtful and useful, especially for anyone trying to date with more intention in a world that often feels disconnected.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this conversation. Follow for more conversations on relationships, self-development, and becoming elite in every area of life.Follow Brittney Carter on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittinspires/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/elitelevelstatus_podcast/

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Gage Fitzwater for a deep conversation about modern dating from a male perspective.We start by talking about Gage’s background as a business owner, how he scaled his construction company, and why personal discipline, hygiene, presentation, and self-respect matter more than a lot of men realize when it comes to standing out in dating. We also get into why so many people struggle in modern dating. It's not because there are no good options, but because they don’t have a strong enough filter.From there, we get into one of the biggest disconnects in dating today: the difference between what women say they want and what they are actually attracted to. We talk about why strength, stoicism, competence, and success create real attraction, why material assets can help but only get you in the game, and why a man’s financial success says a lot more about him than just the money in his account.We also discuss what makes a man take a woman seriously, why peace and submission matter so much to high-performing men, why a woman’s past and purity matter more to men than many women realize, and why men and women both need to stop trying to change the rules of the game and instead become the best option on the table.This was one of those episodes that really breaks down dating in a direct, logical, and high-level way.

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with my Pilates teacher Nina Waldman for a powerful conversation about health, emotional healing, communication, and what it really takes to build a lasting relationship. We discuss why so many people are overstimulated, overtrained, under-rested, and disconnected from themselves, and Nina breaks down simple but powerful practices that can improve your mood, health, and mindset. We get into the importance of breath, gratitude, recovery, warm nourishing food in the morning, and why suppressed emotion does not disappear, it stays in the body and eventually shows up physically. Then we get into relationships. Nina has been married for 29 years, so I really wanted her perspective on what actually lasts. We talk about the traits people should prioritize in a partner, why your happiness is your responsibility, why so many people put too much pressure on their partner to fill a void, and why shared values, feeling safe, and strong communication matter so much more than surface-level attributes. She also shares some of the best marriage advice I’ve ever heard: when you’re feeling unloved by your partner, give it twofold, and the biggest mistake people make is when they try to change their partner instead of choosing the right one from the beginning. This was one of those conversations that gives real perspective on both wellness and love at a much deeper level.

In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down for the second time with guest Divine Vega for a deeper conversation about courting and chivalry in modern dating. We break down the difference between attraction, development, and true courting, and we really get into why men often see courting as risky while women often see the lack of effort as disappointing. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level dating advice.

Why aren’t young men excited about marriage anymore?In this solo episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I ask a question that most people are thinking but not saying out loud:Has marriage developed a branding problem? From social media divorce horror stories to public celebrity humiliation, to being told “don’t rush” and “protect yourself,” the messaging around marriage doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. If something is constantly described as sacrifice and risk, but rarely as reward, why would anyone run toward it?In this episode, I break down:• Why marriage feels risky to modern men• How messaging shapes the dating market• The “risk vs reward” gap in marriage• Whether prenups are misunderstood• Why permanence feels intimidating in a culture that values flexibility• The difference between marriage as restriction vs marriage as amplification• How fixing marriage perception could stabilize the dating marketI personally do want to get married but I think we need to have a more honest conversation about what men actually gain and why marriage should be seen as powerful, aspirational, and stabilizing.If we don’t fix how young men view marriage, we can’t be surprised when dating feels unstable. But if we can market marriage as aspirational and powerful then everyone wins.Let me know your thoughts in the comments: Is marriage misunderstood?Are men anti-marriage or just pro-freedom? Is the risk overblown?This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines: Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.Special offer for listeners: 15% offVisit: https://elsfinewine.com⁠Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/elitelevelstatus_podcast?igsh=MXM2Zjg1dTlhazNheA==Subscribe for more conversations on dating, discipline, relationships, and building an elite life.#Marriage #DatingMarket #ModernRelationships #MensPerspective #EliteLevelStatus
