Make More Love
Are you a male business leader who wants a hot and healthy marriage but feels consumed by the relentless demands of growing your company? Welcome!
Make More Love is the podcast for high-performing male business leaders who want to achieve the business of their dreams—without losing the love of their life.
Join host Ellen Dorian, veteran relationship expert and business coach, as she reveals practical strategies to maintain connection and intimate intensity in committed relationships.
The show is a space for straight-up, judgment-free conversations about how listeners can be extraordinary in every way that matters—from handling the complexities of business to creating a deeply passionate relationship with their life partner without losing sight of what makes them uniquely themselves.
Ellen brings her extensive expertise to challenge obsolete notions of masculinity, transactional thinking, false hierarchies, and the “work-life balance” myth—all of which can get in the way of building passionate, fulfilling life partnerships.
This isn’t therapy. Traditional marriage counseling doesn’t resonate with everyone, so this show delivers practical, relatable advice that leverages the skills business leaders have already mastered in their work to strengthen their relationships.
Tune in weekly for actionable ideas tailored to the unique relationship challenges male business leaders face. The segments are short, so you can listen whenever you have a few minutes—in the car, at the gym, or on the john. Ellen's insights and guest conversations with men who’ve been where you are will resonate and inspire. Plus, with captioned episodes, you can engage anytime, anywhere, with or without sound.
Make More Love gives you a strategic advantage in cultivating a partnership built on mutual respect, appreciation, and true intimacy. Prepare to hear transformative ideas that deliver fast and lasting results. It’s time to focus on what matters most and Make More Love—in Your Life and With Your Wife.
