KEITH YACKEY | The 5 Dials of a Better Marriage
Summary
Host Ryan Mickler interviews Keith Yackey, founder of Married Game, on building attraction through self-improvement rather than chasing validation. They discuss Yackey’s "five dials" framework—parent, partner, producer, player, and power—and how men must become the best version of themselves to foster intimacy. The conversation covers overcoming divorce trauma, the importance of boundaries, and why scheduling sex can enhance desire.
