Summary

I’m never too proud to use a personal anecdote to illustrate my point, even when the experience was a near-disaster. So, if for no other reason than you’re curious to hear the story of my failed TV show and the moment that a nasty contestant tried to tear my credibility to shreds in front of a live studio audience, you should check out this episode. But you should stay for my advice, because I’m going to use my own example to show you how to step into your personal power and control any tense situation without taking on anyone else’s negative energy. It’s my ultimate secret to having impact, and I’m sharing it with you today.

Matthew Asi here with Love Life. I am super excited about today's show because we have a great topic to discuss.

0:09.0

But first I have a question for you. If I told you there were five things you could say to get a man positively addicted to you,

0:17.0

would you try them? If the answer is yes, then be sure to listen until the end of today's show,

0:23.0

because I'm going to tell you how you can get your hands on those five magic phrases.

0:28.0

Now let's get to the episode.

0:33.0

I'm going to reveal something that happened to me a little while back when I first got to LA.

0:38.0

I got brought to LA for a TV show called Ready for Love, which if you don't know the story of that show was a terrible miserable failure.

0:47.0

But there were some interesting things that the show taught me and being part of the show was a very interesting experience.

0:54.0

There was one particular moment about midway through the season, which was incredibly difficult or could have been difficult and could have been disastrous for my credibility if it was handled wrongly.

1:07.0

And I'm going to take you through this step by step because I think there are things that we can all learn from this in our own lives.

1:14.0

Essentially there was a woman on the show called Taran.

1:17.0

And I was on stage during the live show. There was a big stage element to the show with a live audience.

1:24.0

And the women were on stage and we were critiquing them on the dates and talking about what they did right and wrong.

And I was speaking to Taran, who I didn't have much love for. I think it's safe to say and thought she wouldn't go well with the guy.

1:40.0

And also that there was a whole more negative side of her that we weren't seeing right now because she was playing it very well.

1:47.0

She was playing a very kind, positive person, but actually underneath it all there was quite a nasty person I felt.

1:54.0

And so I went on this slight rant about what I think was the problem and why they didn't go well together.

2:03.0

She didn't take this very well. And I think probably had been building up for a few weeks because I hadn't shown too much love towards her since the beginning.

2:12.0

And she proceeded to try and eviscerate me in front of the entire audience on TV.

2:21.0

She said, I'm sorry, how old are you Matt? You're what? Like this self-professed guru. I mean, are you even in love?

2:31.0

What do you know about any of this stuff? I mean, most people in your profession have actually lived a little and know something about you.

She went on and on and on. Now the first thing I didn't do was interrupt.
