A significant influence in Michael’s journey was James Amoureaux of TantraLogic, a highly skilled psychologist and sex therapist. Under James’s mentorship, Michael underwent a profound two-year personal transformation. Initially characterized by "nice guy" tendencies and beta male behaviors, Michael evolved into one of the leading young alpha males in Chicago’s social scene. During this transformative period, he became adept at pickup artistry, achieving an average of a same-night lay every time he went out. This transformation was not just about mastering social interactions but also about fundamentally changing his mindset.
James’s guidance was instrumental in helping Michael deprogram negative neuroassociations and replace them with positive, resourceful beliefs and behaviors. This process allowed him to fully embrace and embody the alpha male persona he calls "Hercustotle," a combination of the strength of Hercules and the wisdom of Aristotle. This new identity represents a well-rounded, confident, and intellectually sophisticated individual who excels in both personal and professional realms.
Michael’s journey is a testament to the power of personal growth and the importance of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable mentors. His experience highlights the significance of continuously working on oneself to achieve a state of self-actualization and fulfillment, both in love and in life.
While being mentored by James Amoreaux (a leading PUA from Chicago) from TantraLogic, michael also attended lectures in person from legendary pickup artists including Brad P, Zan Perrion, Nick Sparks. All which helped michael to become one of the rising stars in the Chicago pickup scene as Hercustotle.
