Hello again!

Todd here, back with my second installment on the front page, and today you are in for a special treat because I’ve prepared an Inner Circle Mission Impossible video for you. Normally these video missions will be distributed ONLY to Inner Circle members as one part of your monthly membership. To see the other monthly benefits, have a look at my previous video here:  http://www.rsdinnercircle.com

For those of you lucky enough to be in a city where I’ve been running a beta-test group, we’ll be arranging a gathering soon where you can do this mission along with local wingmen. But I encourage everyone to go out and give it a try. Get out in the field, push your comfort zone, and report back to RSDNation. I’ll start a thread for this mission and try to reply regularly to your questions and field reports as they come in.

Before I get into the video itself I wanted to take a chance to answer a couple of questions about Inner Circle that I’ve been hearing a lot since last week. Actually these were answered by Papa in the last thread, but I keep hearing the questions so I think it bears repeating.

Q. I’m interested in signing up for a leadership role. How do I interview?
A. Interviews will take place with people who sign up for RSD Inner Circle on or after August 29.

Q. I live in a small city. Will we have a chapter?
A. Any city in the world will be able to participate in both local and global events, but the larger cities will have more visits by RSD Instructors. The schedule of programs will be determined based upon how many people signup in each city whereby cities with more members will have more benefits.

Q. How much does inner circle cost?
A. Full details will be given out on August 29th; however, we expect that it will probably be priced around $30/month for a full membership to RSD Inner Circle.

Okay, so on to the video itself:

The theme for this mission impossible assignment is stopping moving sets. Most guys miss tons of opportunities in the daytime because they either refuse to, or don’t know how to, stop moving sets. As someone who has always done a ton of daygame and has been approaching moving sets from day one, I find this to be a massive waste.

In this video I break down every aspect of how to stop a moving set, from psychology, to body language, to distance and spacing and voice. I even give physical demonstrations of spacing and angles using an assistant. I end with a mission for you to go out, either alone or with a wingman, and practice moving set approaches on your own. This is a good example of what an Inner Circle mission impossible video will be like.



Keep an eye out for information regarding Inner Circle on the forums over the coming weeks as we’ll be looking for a final round of feedback before the official launch. For more information on RSD Inner Circle, check out the video I created all about it and get on our VIP Interest List by visiting:  http://www.rsdinnercircle.com

For those of you experiencing this as text only, the mission is to approach four moving sets, show intent, and attempt to instant date or number close. If you successfully get an instant-date, that also counts as completing the mission, even if it’s your first set.

And the biggest points about stopping moving sets are:

1. Assume that they will stop
2. Chase with your voice rather than your feet
3. Make her stop rather than having the half-mile walk to nowhere
4. Figure out her logistics (instant-date vs. phone number)
5. Time constrain yourself as necessary
6. If all else fails, chase like a desperate madman because you have nothing to lose  (aka be persistent)

The second video I’m bringing you today comes from a revelation I had this weekend on bootcamp. I had one of the worst nights of bootcamp in a long time on Friday, at least in terms of my own personal in-field performance. And ironically the reason it went poorly was that I had done so well the previous week that I was almost literally expecting girls to fall over at my feet just because I had showed up and said “hi” to them.

Obviously it doesn’t work like that. On the flipside, I came up with two good twitter posts about this concept, which you can see at https://twitter.com/rsdtodd … where I share my favorite lines and Insights on a regular basis. If you are more of a facebook person, all my tweets are also at http://www.facebook.com/RSDTodd

In any case, this was pretty frustrating to me, but it really made me realize that no one is above the process.

The theme of the blog is Entitlement vs. Complacency.

In a very life following art sort of moment, two interesting things happened while shooting the blog.

1. I overslept and almost had to leave Chicago before shooting the blog, so in the end I shot in front of a big phallic column in a random park rather than a magnificent scene on the waterfront as previously intended.

2. After I finished shooting the blog, a random guy addressed me and said “I was wondering if someone would feel entitled to your wallet with you being so complacent.” And he indicated my wallet lying on the ground behind me as I had shot the blog. OOPS!

In the end I didn’t lose my wallet or miss the plane (made it with one minute to spare!). And although I shot the video blog in one take, I think it came out really well in terms of the speaking. ENJOY!



So while I still clearly need work on my video skills, I think there were a lot of great concepts in these two videos. From the second one, the biggest thing I can emphasize is that game will always be about fundamentals first and foremost, and that nobody is above the process, no matter who they are or how long they’ve been doing this.

Hope you guys enjoyed the blog and I look forward to your questions and comments. In particular I really look forward to questions and comments regarding Inner Circle, and to updates from those of you who go out and do the Mission Impossible and report on RSD Nation.

Until next time,
-Todd
