I really don’t know where to start with this review for fear of doing injustice to the workshop! Just 2 words…..LIFE CHANGING!!!!

I never knew it was possible to stop women on the street and tell them they were gorgeous! I thought I would be hawked on and be given dirty looks! But my reality was shattered.

In the four hours infield time I did about 20 approaches , some went not too good…lol…but I didn’t care. I said fuck it and kept approaching the hottest girls around and enjoying the look in their lovely blue eyes...( I am from Trinidad so blue eyes is rare!)

First of all the students. This was a really cool bunch of guys who looked out for each other. Everyone did really well and by the end of the day you could see the confidence in these guys. To me that was a very good feeling. Two of the guys flew in……one from Dubai and one from Japan. And of course me from Trinidad! Guys it may sound like a lot of money but it is nothing compared to what you will learn.

Now the instructors. I cannot find words to describe Soul. This guy is just passionate about what he does and cares about his students. I know it has been mentioned before but Soul exudes a charm that even James Bond and Cassonova cannot emulate. He is the embodiment of confidence and smoothness. As soon as he walked in the seminar room you could sense his down to earth demeanor and the power and charm in the way he speaks and moves. Soul felt like a good friend that I have known since childhood. Very easy to speak to and very observant infield. I was lucky to work with Soul for the infield portion and this guy got game. He actually charmed a very sweet and hot model from Kentucky who was visiting NY. I just stood there as the girl went speechless. I also stayed quiet to learn and observe a true master in the field. At the end she told Soul “OMG you are so awesome” and she repeated it a couple time. He was also able to point out common mistakes that I was making. Simple mistakes that can make or break a set. And btw we both got hugs from the model…don’t know if that counts….lol

Another guy named Mark was there helping out as an approach coach. This guy was very chill and relaxed. I liked his demeanor and what struck me most about him was his willingness to analyse and explain in detail what we were doing wrong. He really looked out for me and gave me some valuable feedback. If you are reading this thanks a million Mark!!

There were other instructors who I didn’t work with but from the comments from the other students they were just as good. There was Biskit. Thanks man for the tips in the seminar on hoops. This guy is very chilled and oozes confidence by the way he speaks. I also had the pleasure of meeting Daax. Didn’t work with him but all that I have said about the other instructors goes for him. Very helpful guy who wants to see you succeed. There was also an approach coach known as Peter…really tall guy who looks a bit like Braddock….Again didn’t get to work with him but from what I heard he was very good at making the students approach and giving valuable feedback.

The seminar portion was simply awesome. Soul has really perfected the art of Day Game and as we went through the seminar the more I realized that this is exactly what I am looking for! Now I can give myself a chance at attracting and dating any girl that I see…be it in a food court, malls, grocery, weddings, streets, hospital….fuck….even on the Moon!!! Soul went through the mindset behind day and direct game. You need strong inner game to pull it through. He then went through the different stages of the EPM model as it applies to day game. His talk on comfort was mind blowing….all I can say is that what this man does is Soul Reaching!!!! Soul showed us how to speak in emotions when telling a story. He took a story and retold it in such a way that even the best Hollywood director cannot. As he told his story you could see the passion, the smoothness, the charm, the tonality. Everyone went silent as Soul told his story in such a way that we were actually feeling the emotions he spoke about….as if we were also part of the story. Even the other instructors were all taken up on what he was saying. He spoke about qualification and how to truly compliment someone. He gave many tips and tactics to use infield and to demonstrate value to a woman.

This has truly changed my life. I now feel that I have the skill set that I have been looking for. Direct and day game is all about being passionate and just expressing it to someone whom you really feel that for. You give value….it is up to her to take it or leave it.. you did your job.

Highlights of the day include a beautiful Australian girl going speechless as and saying thank you like 3 times when I told her how gorgeous she was, me running about 50 feet to catch up a beautiful Oriental girl who was pleasantly shocked…lol… me running in to catch up this beautiful black girl to tell her how gorgeous she looks and her friends standing behind me and saying “wow this guy is brave’! and me stopping this girl who bought just bought some food and she telling me that she has never been approached in that way before….very fond memories….but the biggest highlight of all was chilling with Soul and watching and observing how a true master works and seeing how happy the other students were at the end of the day!

I highly recommend this workshop….but if you do please take the infield portion to. This is where the real learning takes place.

Also special thanks to a good friend of mine whom I know through the forum by the name of Spinstorm. He really helped me make up my mind on taking this workshop when I was undecided. Thanks man.

Thank you Soul!!!!!!

I second everything that Stormboy said in the above post, had an amazing time and met a bunch of really chill people.

I didn't get the pleasure of going infield with Soul, but his guidance in the seminar was easy to understand, relate to, and put into action. I don't want to give away his material he goes over, but everything from filling "cups" to inner game philosophies direct (no pun intended) and easily broken down. Something that stood out in my mind was his statement, said in a charming english accent, "when you go to sleep tonight, ask yourself, did you do everything you wanted to do today? if not then you are living with regret" Now I doubt he meant things like go to the store and clip your toe nails. his passion for living life the way you want to leaks out onto you and inspires you to do the same. That make in itself makes this seminar worth while, then adding the material, concepts, emotional model tailored specifically to day game with different ways to display value and his qualification & comfort stages, I mean he really hit everything and was adamant in making sure you understand. I feel as though you won't truly understand what I'm saying unless you take the course, because it really is something that just hits you, as he describes the tipping point, and you get that "ahhhhh ha" moment.

The only recommendation I can make for improvement would be to have some sort of manual offered for the students.

In-field was definitely a learning experience, I had the pleasure of going in with Daxx, and Peter. Pete is a very friendly guy with an aura of positivity, my only concern is his obsession for whole foods

. they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Pushing you into sets, reminding you that it's fun and anything is possible. Pete had to then help coach others and Daxx remained with us. He is a very chill guy who can easily relate to anyone. Encouraging in both his criticism and applause, he has a very warm and charismatic approach to life and people. Pete and Daxx are definitely 2 extremely chill guys and great coaches.

At the end all of us met back up and went over our days, and it was successful for everyone, we learned, had a great time, and met some wonderful people in the process. This is where soul broke down what we needed to work on and how to go about doing it, again it was very insightful and informative.

Bottom line is, I used to try day game and had some mild success with it, but after this seminar I realized how much I was missing, and to be honest makes me question my past successes haha. Soul's structure, dedication, passion, and way of teaching make this seminar a MUST TAKE if you want to improve and be successful in your Day Game.

Again, a sincere thanks to Soul, Daxx, Pete, and Biskit...you guys are truly inspiring and some of the most chill people I've met... Lovesystems was on its P's and Q's when it released this seminar

You guys were all awesome. Thanks for making the last workshop of my Winter US tour go out with a bang!

Don't forget all the individual feedback. Sometimes a small comment made by someone who knows can have a massive impact if you utilise it correctly.

If anyone saw me approach that brunette yoga teacher girl (in Union Square), we went on a date that night and I took her home.

She was a great girl, and honestly I was kinda sad that I was leaving the next day. Life of a travelling dating coach!

As the "old man" among the students, day game is important skill for me to develop as I am not a club person. That said, it was truly an honor and a privilege to learn day game from Soul: a life changing experience. In the class he dispensed with the jargon and made the principles very accessible" simple but not simplistic. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was was enjoying the privilege of learning from a master and an accessible one at that! In the field I worked with approach coaches Biskit and Peter who were great guys, they helped me adjust and self-correct my approach so that by the end of the day my approach anxiety was dramatically reduced and I got a number close. I am so excited and feel so fortunate for having learned day game from Soul. He has given me the tools to (as he emphasized) expend my horizon and live a life with no regrets. Even though words are inadequate, thank you Soul, this was truly life changing.

If you thinking of learning, I have two words for you: DO IT!
