My guest today is a long-time Wall Street Journal reporter who has followed the political lives of presidents, senators and governors.  Her new book is called, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals and Hidden Agendas Of Eight Political Wives.

Now, I already know you’re probably not tuning in to hear tabloid gossip. But Anne Michaud‘s work is immensely valuable to us as we look inside the relationships the most powerful men in the world have with the women in their lives.

Wait until you discover some of the golden truths you can readily apply to your own life, as well as many of the potential relationship pitfalls you can avoid. Indeed, this episode is loading to the hilt with 20/20 foresight.

For starters, what behaviors and habits do so-called ‘power couples’ uniquely exhibit? What do wives of powerful men seem to have in common?

Do women necessarily marry high-achieving men simply to leech off of them? Or is it they’re seeking to ride ‘coat tails’ in search of their own power, money, fame as opposed to love? Do some women honestly enter into a relationship with a certain man with a belief they’ll change the world together? Is that a turn on for them?

On the other hand, if a relationship feels purely transactional, can it still ultimately work? What happens if and when a powerful man loses status, or even falls from grace completely? Is it pure coincidence that only one president was a bachelor?

Discover Anne’s five factors that tend to decide whether or not a powerful man’s wife will stick around no matter what.

Finally, objectively speaking, what should high achieving men think about when considering a life partner? Which good traits should we be looking for? What are the warning signs?

One thought on “Episode 276 – The Successful Man’s Guide To Choosing Women

  1. Scot’s analytical abilities are not only informed and insightful but also wide-ranging yet to the point. It is clear by this interview that Scot is well-read in current events both in the U.S. and overseas. I chuckled at Scot’s comment regarding the sensibilities of Eastern Europeans and how Americans in particular are so easily offended by them; Scot was spot on in his assessment. This was an enjoyable interview to listen to.
