Some choice bits:
Urb: What process do you go through each time you are faced with the decision to choose a new adventure?
LS: I ask my heart. Then I listen to its advice. Then I act on it.
Urbasm: What do you think a man can do to prepare himself to not only survive the wild, but also the urban jungle?
LS: One of the best ways to gather confidence in oneself is simply to learn some of the techniques needed for all kinds of survival. Knowledge is power and creates a self confidence that is hard to take away. Take courses. Read books. Listen to keynotes. Watch intelligent documentaries.
Urb: What do you think are a few of the biggest points that a lot of ‘manly men’ get wrong when it comes to being a gentleman?
LS: (Laughs) How much time do you have? Being a gentleman is not being soft or lame. It’s sexy as hell and it adds to the machismo. Self confidence is the key. Women adore a man who is confident. And a confident man has no issues acting like a movie star of old: opening doors, pulling out the chair at a restaurant, bringing home flowers, never striding in front of his lady when walking—I hate when I see that.
A woman wants a man to be a man. Strong, confident, caring, sensitive to their moods and feelings, attentive to discovering their nuances. Rugged, strong, rough hands from hard work, a good chest for a woman to lay her head on after… well… just after.
