He adds, “Even in my most hardcore, pimp-or-die days, I could only go so far because I would always hear the voices of the women who influenced my life.”

With plans to take his show on the road in live seminar forum, Geno will no doubt soon be considered an expert on male-female relationships, or perhaps a “love doctor.” In fact, many women who have read or heard Game Recognize Game admit that if the info had been available to them sooner in their lives, many unnecessary wounds would have been prevented.
