Be Great and Dominate Podcast

Is Comparison Killing You? We live in a world of continuous comparison and it's hurting so many people. With constant communication and social media, the comparison trap is hard to fight against. Depression, anxiety, stress, and mental health are at an all-time high and it's being linked to the comparison issue. We all need to stop comparing ourselves to each other's highlight reels and focus on ourselves. We need to wake up and focus on our own race, goals, dreams, strengths, and accomplishments. You're unique, special, and one of a kind!! Nobody will ever be like you ever again!! That's amazing already!! There will never be another you again!! This is your life!! Don't compare and just be YOU!! #begreatanddominate

Axe & The Oak Tree Story!! To take down an oak tree with an axe takes a ton of effort. You have to keep swinging blow after blow after blow and It still might not come down. You have to continue again and again and again. Those blows will eventually get the job done and the big mighty oak will fall. You must endure until the job is done. No matter how difficult the task. Even if you don't see progress, change is happening!! No matter how challenging it gets you CANNOT give up. You have to continue. You must remove these ideas and mental clogs from your life like quitting, can't, failure, impossible, retreat, and surrender. You have to always try again and again. You must continue to take blows and if it fails!! Do it again!! When others give up!! You continue!! You'll be the one to succeed in the end!! This is a story of grittiness, persistence, and a will to win at all costs!! This applies to life as well. When you have goals you must persist and keep going even if obstacles are in the way. Your goals and achievements are at the end of it all. #begreatanddominate

SEEK THE STRUGGLE. This is a training concept I use in the gym to achieve great results but it's a game-changing concept used in my life as well. You want to reach the point of struggle when you train and workout. You must do this in order to stress the muscle so it will grow and strengthen. You don't want to stop when the struggle or difficulty begins but train yourself to push through it to grow. That concept is a dual-threat, that can be used in the gym or in life. Go full attack on everything you do that is hard, difficult, challenging, and keep going until you truly cant anymore. That's when the real magic begins!! There is NO REWARD for easy!! #Begreatanddominate

Infinite Game of Success!! The hard truth about real success at anything. It doesn't stop once the dream is achieved. You have to give your absolute best FOREVER. It's a tough pill to swallow but once you accept it then you'll be better off. Examples- -Health: When you get your dream body then you must work to keep it or you'll lose it. It's an infinite game!! -Relationships: When you get your dream partner then you must work to keep it or you lose it. It's an infinite game!! -Career: When you get your dream job or business then you must work to keep it or you lose it. It's an infinite game!! I'm pretty sure you're catching on to the point now. You must work incredibly hard to get your dreams but the true test is keeping it until your eyes roll back and your heart stops beating. You see it everyday!! Dreams, goals, accomplishments being conquered then vanishes in a blink of an eye because the habits, rituals, and actions that worked stopped being applied. If you're living your dreams then never back off. Keep doing everything you've been doing that got you the results you wanted and earned. If you lose it all then fault only lies on you!! #begreatanddominate

The Umbrella Theory- It's explained and a powerful story is told!! Imagine a world full of darkness, rain, wetness, and it's completely uncomfortable but everyone has an umbrella. The umbrella theory is about how everyone in the world is using their umbrellas to protect themselves and others. The umbrellas have 5 notches on them. 1 notch being closed and 5 being fully opened. What type of person are you? Is your umbrella closed or opened? TYPE 1-Notch Level 1 This is a group that doesn't have its umbrella opened at all. They don't know what to do with themselves. They are struggling to get by and feel lost in the world. The world of destruction is showing no mercy on them and it's difficult for them to take action. TYPE 2-Notch Level 2 or 3 The majority are walking around with their umbrellas at notch 2 or 3. That is the type only protecting themselves. That umbrella is opened just enough to help themselves. They are only worried about keeping themselves protected and well. They don't care if type #1 is crushed. It's them and only them. TYPE 3-Notch Level 4 or 5 This is a very small group of individuals. They are focused on protecting themselves but keep their umbrella fully open to help others stay covered as well. They walk the earth fully committed to their wellness and the wellness of everyone they touch. Imagine a world where everyone's umbrella is fully extended. It could be dark, wet, rainy, chaotic, and insane but everyone is committed to the betterment of all. A world where everyone is protecting themselves but opened enough to help others as well. That would be a beautiful world to live in!! If we all keep our umbrellas fully opened then the world could throw anything at us but there would be so much protection we'd all be safe!! Ways to open your umbrella: Opening your umbrella means finding ways to make other people's lives better in a difficult world. -You can do this by simply smiling at everyone you walk past. -When you are at the grocery store say hello to the checker by name and thank you when you leave. That is rare. -Saying hello to the homeless person you walk past every day and make them feel known again. -Start a conversation with your Starbucks barista and becoming friends with those you continuously encounter. -Every engagement matters. You want to make others better with every interaction you encounter. Simple acts of kindness are opening your umbrella and its spreads in the world. You can take control of your world, make your life and the lives of all that you touch better. Making them feel known, loved, safe, and protected. It would be an incredible world to live in!! I'm going to try to live my life with a fully extended umbrella!! #begreatanddominate

Ryann shares his childhood struggle with learning disabilities and his difficulties with reading. School was always challenging but reading and self-education became the key to high achievement. His love for books evolved and eventually learning became one of his favorite hobbies. Books are like mentors. They can be used to teach about any area of life, history repeats itself and we all can learn from those before us. You can learn from presidents, CEOS, elite athletes, experts in their fields. People spend their entire lives gathering information and put it into a few hundred pages for your benefit. The ones that take the time to actually consume the material will prosper and learn. Self-education is one of the most powerful habits any person can start doing. You can transform your life, learn anything, develop skills, and grow by studying on your own. If you don't like to read or learn, it's because you haven't started learning about the subjects and material that interest YOU. Just because school ends doesn't mean you have to stop learning. That's where people make a huge mistake in life. Stay informed and never stop learning. #begreatanddominate

The Pleasures of Extreme Discipline When you're extremely disciplined most people around you won't understand. You can't expect them to understand because the odds are they've never done what you are doing. They believe you are missing out on the fun things in life and truly believe you're not enjoying the finer aspects of living. When you skip the party, when you turn down the bad food, when you avoid drinking, when you avoid compulsive shopping, and many other vices out there. The whispers will start!! They might like the quick pleasures of these normal vices but never have experienced the real pleasures of discipline. When you work out every day for months, when you don't eat junk and avoid alcohol, control your finances, when you are continuously learning, and control every impulse you have it's a rush. They don't understand that being a disciplined person has pleasures of its on like this. You have energy that can't be matched because of your lifestyle. Your mental clarity is superior because you've been caring for yourself. Your confidence is unmatched because you love who you see in the mirror!! You become a Superhuman!! These are the pleasures the successful want in life. Most people have never put together a disciplined plan and stuck to it for a long period to understand. The people who have tried both sides will agree that they feel like a superhuman when disciplined. It's a hard lifestyle to live and that's why a small percentage fit in this group. It's just funny because they think your not living and the disciplined don't think they are living. They just seem correct because it's the norm of society. I'll tell you right now that if it's the norm then it's probably misguided information and you should go the other way. Stay disciplined!! #begreatanddominate

VICTIM MENTALITY VS VICTOR MENTALITY We all have faced adversity, obstacles, and problems in our lives, but everyone decides to handle these situations differently. Usually, everyone's mindset falls under two categories. Victim Mentality or Victor Mentality. What category do you belong to? Most people make excuses and give themselves a reason to fail. Most people find something or someone to blame for everything in life. Victims!! Very few individuals put all the pressure on their shoulders no matter what the issue is in life. Very few individuals find ownership within and decide to take control of the outcome. Victors!! At some point, we all have absolute control of ourselves, and you have to decide to break the mold. You have to decide you're going to create the life you want for YOURSELF. You have to look within for the solutions!! Just remember to set the bar high for yourself, realize you are worthy of the life you want for yourself, and if you don't like the circumstances you were given in life!! Change it!! Stay relentless and be victorious!! #begreatanddominate

Rare Disease and Still Winning Have you ever been paralyzed? I have!! I have a rare disorder called Hypokalemia Period Paralysis and I continue to live a successful life no matter what life brings my way. I dove headfirst into wellness once I realized it was the key to me overcoming this disorder. I dedicated so much of my life to discovering the ways I could control my problem and now I want to share them with others. Hopefully, someone doesn't have to endure the pain, struggle, and suffering I had to go through to figure it all out and their journey will be a little easier. I believe you can counter any disease, disorder, illness through a healthy lifestyle. I control my disorder through nutrition, exercise, proper hydration, sleep, supplementation, and other health-related habits. I encourage everyone to eat right and take care of your body. It'll take a complete lifestyle to overcome!! TIP: If it was hunted, You can eat it!! If it was picked from the earth, you can eat it!! If man made it, ITS POISON!! Stay Healthy and Well!! #begreatanddominate

Positively Programmed People wonder how some individuals are so positive and how this miracle happened. Most of the time this because these people practice positivity in everything they do. They practice positive actions day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year until it they transformed. They practice so often positivity became habitual in all aspects of life. Ultimately changing their identity into a “positive person” and becoming a negative filtration system where you can filter the bad and only keep the good in every moment, situation, circumstance, and conservation. Stay Positive!! #begreatanddominate

Wakey wakey shakey shakey!! The words that have sparked a rage to succeed for a long time. It's a moment in my life that stays with me and those words have helped me outwork everyone in my path. When I was a kid my family had some very hard times. We lived in a homeless shelter in order to survive. While we were there we had to wake up extremely early so everyone could wake up, shower, get dressed, eat, and leave. I can't fully remember the exact time but it around 5 am. This isn't about waking up early is a problem, Its about HOW we were woken up each day!! One of the workers would kick open the doors to the main hall where everyone slept and would repeatedly yell "WAKEY WAKEY SHAKEY SHAKEY” over and over and over again until we all got up!! Countless people including the Elderly, babies, kids, and disabled. All of us being treated with absolute disrespect. He did that every morning with complete enjoyment!! As I got older I never forgot that feeling of rage it gave me and I use wakey wakey shakey shakey as my daily motivation to wake up!! I've used the bad times as a driver to take me to high levels!! Every time I see that phrase it reminds me of where I never want to go again!! It reminds me that I need to give my Best!! Find your similar moments and let them propel you to unimaginable heights of success and happiness!! #begreatanddominate
