I didn't think he was done. It felt too anti-climactic for the GOAT to go out the way he did. Sometimes you need a break and perspective and clearly sitting at home isn't enough for Tom Brady.

Part 2 of "Your First 6 Figures" series covers the HOW. The blessing and curse of entrepreneurship is you can do whatever you want provided you sell the product/service and give a great experience and result back. While it seems pretty straightforward on the surface, there is a lot of nuance that goes into building a business and one that is profitable and allows freedom in your life rather than being the hamster on the wheel. I'll explain very candidly how I have structured my offer and lead generation strategies so far. My hope for you for this episode is to give you inspiration and tactics on how to grow and grow in a way that you want to. Topics include:   - Why it All Started with a Cold DM  - The Value First Approach - Offer Details, Referrals, and 100% Client Delivery - The Concept of Retention, Churn Rate, and Recurring Revenue - The Art of Systems and Workflow - Progressing to My Mind Design 1-1 Coaching Offer - Future Aspirational Growth and Front End Offer Additions ----------- Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Personal and Professional Development?

Whether you are an athlete looking to make money on the side for supplements and training or a rookie coach in the "side hustle" phase of their coaching, money is an obvious obstacle and stress in your life if it isn't where you want it to be. I went from making great money working 9 months out of the year living on Long Island for free to paying for a 20k plus graduate degree and merely surviving for a couple of years as I cut my teeth in the online media and coaching world as an assistant along with going back to school.

A tale as old as time... the story of the round peg and the square hole. Trying to fit these two items together is impossible and they just aren't meant for each other. However, if that round peg is... made of jello for instance... then it would fit into that square hole easier (try to ignore the sexual innuendo) but it would be a mess and that round peg is some gelatinous pile of gunk on the other side.   I don't want you to be the gunk.

I want you to take a step back, a deep breath, and take 20 minutes today or whenever you listen to this to really do an evaluation and checkup on yourself during this time.  It is very easy to slip back into old, bad habits, let parts of our lives go and ignored, and become so clouded with fear and uncertainty that we let what we can't control do irrefutable permanent damage to our lives. I have a tremendous amount of empathy for those suffering right now. This episode is a reminder to check back in with yourself and address the areas of your life that have fallen off track and get back to the standards you've set for yourself. These areas of life, straight from the book "The Code of the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen Lakhiani", include: - Love Relationships - Friendships - Adventures (and not just another trip to the refrigerator) - Environment  - Health and Fitness - Intellectual Life - Skills - Spiritual Life - Career  - Creative Life - Family Life - Community ----------- Do you want to not only perform and execute in these uncertain times but GET BETTER?

Emotions, scarcity, and uncertainty are at an all-time high right now. Comfort and old habits will creep back into your life. I want you to remember who you are wanting to become in this life and how to act like that person today regardless of the status of the world right now.  The world needs leadership and today's episode is all about establishing and maintaining principles and bright lines in your life. These principles will allow you to make better decisions faster without having to second guess and beat yourself up (most of the time we are human after all).

Remember sports? I have a throwback for you in today's Monday Momentum and the thesis is this: know so much they can't ignore you. While Deshaun plays at an elite level and is so good nobody can ignore him (although unfortunately sometimes he is), he has world-class knowledge and understanding of his craft. You need that too in order to dominate. ----------- Do you want to not only perform and execute in these uncertain times but GET BETTER?

There are so many emotions I want to express but I want to center around one right now: gratitude. Grateful for what Kobe taught me both growing up and into adulthood. Kobe was my childhood athlete. Drafted in 1996 and winning his first championship in 2000, those were my prime adolescent years. The 2010 Laker Celtic Championship series will be one I will never forget. His Achilles injury was reminiscent of Tiger's ACL injury. Pure grit to power through. What he gave us after basketball was nothing short of remarkable as well. Thank you Kobe for everything you gave to not only basketball but to everything you pursued in life. Your dash reads, "Champion, Cleaner, Father, and Icon." Rest easy Mamba and Gigi.

Let's get down to brass tax here: SMART goals are engineered for you to fail. Why? You'll want to listen to this episode to find out why. More than anything, those who go after what they want in life and don't care about if it's attainable and realistic are the ones we look up to the most. They are also the ones who get there faster than anyone else. If you want to be the best and get there as fast as possible, this episode is for you. I dive into how I set time-bound goals using 1 year (Campaigns) 3 month (Operations) and around 1 month (Projects) to create and sustain emotional buy-in, create outcomes, and identify key tasks to execute on to get me to where I want to go.

Do you follow someone on Instagram and see them explode from consistent, valuable action and wonder how they did it? Me too so that's why I had on now my friend Charlotte Jones ACE-CPT, PN1. Charlotte has grown her social media following (specifically Instagram) to over 50k followers and did it the right way.   No ass pictures. Just value based on real and tangible advice. We get into a lot of different topics that I know you will find extremely valuable but what I took away the most was that Charlotte's obsession comes from a deep desire to want to help people and help the best way that she can. I vibe 100% on that and if you do, I know you'll enjoy this episode (and apologies in advance for some dog noises in the background but they are adorable so it's okay).   Time Stamps:   (0:00) Intro (1:00) Hit that Subscribe Button!

Tired of not reaching your goals? Do you set resolutions every year and never reach them? This is the wakeup call you need. There's a different way to approach goals. It's called systems. What are systems? Systems allow you to have clarity and control over what you really want. So much of resolutions and goals set at the beginning of the year have no plans, no strategy, and no measures of improvement and success. They don't have time assessed to them daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. There is no thought to possible automation opportunities or what will excite you when and if you reach the goal you set out for yourself. What if you did lose those 5 pounds? What's after that? What if you did make 6 figures or became captain of your team?  Now what? I have a saying: What else are you doing? To be an elite performer, you need to address these issues and solve them. Take a listen as I walk you through an example from my life so you can start to create systems in your life as well.   Time Stamps: (0:00) Intro and New Format (1:58) Goals Vs.

We've been told this from "authority" figures that never pursued their own dreams and desires and have passed that reckless advice down. There are too many examples of individuals who broke from the mold and achieved seemingly impossible feats in their life. Their body, mind, business, relationships, and money.   Steve Jobs, Dwayne Johnson, and Jamie Foxx to name a few had a powerful tool in their lives that helped them break from the normal and achieve greatness. That's what I am sharing with you today.    The power of vision allows you to not only gain clarity on what you truly want in life, but who you want to become. Identity shift to the person you want to become is the second step but first, you need to be very honest with yourself of what you truly want in life. The how comes later but first, you need a what and a why.    There will be setbacks and struggles in your life. Remembering who you are working to become and what is in store for you will allow you to endure the cost and pain associated with the growth. I hope you take a lot away from this episode as I share my struggles before crafting a powerful vision for my life and I share with you both my ultimate vision and my perfect day. I hope you are then propelled to create your own perfect day and start improving to reach that perfect day.    Time Stamps:   (0:05) Housekeeping (0:38) Rappflex Radio Standard (1:10) Vision (1:45) Starting with Awareness (3:47) Biggest Lie Told to Us (7:02) What Most People Do (9:40) Conscious vs Subconscious Mind (12:10) My Story with a Lack of Vision (20:25) The Moment (21:20) Quick Case Study (24:22) The Rules of This Exercise (26:07) My Vision (30:01) The Perfect Day Exercise (30:27) Guiding Questions (32:20) My Perfect Day (39:30) Email me Your Perfect Day!

You don't have the results you want because you are distracted and it's not your fault. There are too many damn options these days. Have you looked at Netflix recently?! We can't use this excuse anymore though. You need focus. Listen in as I explain the one question you need to ask yourself daily to get what you want. 

This interview is a re-release interview I did on the Strength N Mind podcast with my friend Sam Demma. Sam is a former soccer player out of Canada who's injuries sidelined and ultimately cut his promising career short. He didn't let that affect the rest of his life. He put a theory his world issues teacher provided him and put it into practice. He later shared that story on the TEDxYouth@Toronto stage a year after. He created and founded Pickwaste with his friend Dillion Mendes, which rapidly became a top environmental movement in Canada, eclipsing 70 cleanups and over 850 trash bags filled. Sam was named a top 25 environmentalist under the age of 25.   His mission now is to speak to youth through his own brand, helping them answer the question: "Can I make a difference?" Sam is just getting started. Listen in as we dive deep into his story surrounding soccer, his injuries, and what his purpose is now and going forward. I promise you, you will not want to miss this episode.   Topics Covered:   How Sam and Kyle Met Sam's Story and Injury The Moment Sam Knew to Move On Advice to Others Dealing with an Injury Transition to the Next Phase of His Life Breaking Down the Best Influencers Why Small Consistent Actions are Important Creation and Evolution of Pickwaste Sam's TEDx Experience Sam's Future and Mission to Reach 10,000,000 Young Individuals   Where to find Sam: Check out Sam's Website!

Do you feel like there is a part of you that's missing? Maybe you don't feel whole or fully alive compared to your friends or someone you see on Instagram. Those people are able to articulate exactly what they are feeling and who they are and they have this confidence about them. Have you ever been envious of that confidence? That confidence stems from awareness and that is what today's episode is all about. Awareness, specifically self-awareness, allows you to show up confidently because you know yourself deeply and understand yourself. Yes, you are always growing and improving, but it's important to understand your baseline patterns, your habits, and your current beliefs. That way, you are able to dictate change and growth based on who you ultimately want to become. I believe so many of us walk around without truly knowing who we are because we haven't done the necessary reflection and work on ourselves. I want to show you how to do that practically, much like a physical training plan would be given to you.    Time Stamps:   (0:00) My Question to You (1:00) Are you a Polymath?

Do you know what it takes to truly become a professional? Both the mindset and the tangible skills necessary? Don't take it from me, take it from someone who won at the highest level. My guest today is former Miami Hurricane cornerback and Super Bowl Champion Tanard Davis. Tanard and I met about 2 years ago at the NFL Broadcast Boot Camp in Bowling Green and I was very impressed with how he showed up and his level of professionalism. Come to find out he was also an actor, professional Jai-Alai player, a Sport Extra on 11alive, in the Sherriff Reserves in Miami, and a father. He is able to do all of these things well because he shows up as a professional in all categories of his life. We discuss his college and pro days, how coach Tony Dungy influenced him, and what I now call the Rapid Fire Rappup (nice right? Partial credit to my mom) where we discuss current football topics. I really hope you enjoy this episode!    Time Stamps:   (0:40) Tanard’s Story (1:53) Pop Warner Days (3:30) The U and Lessons Learned (7:22) Going Undrafted (11:10) College vs Pro Football (14:55) Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison (18:04) Reggie Wayne and Nick Harper’s Mentorship (19:39) Being a Professional (22:40) What Winning a Super Bowl Felt Like (25:06) Coach Tony Dungy (28:04) After the Super Bowl (30:52) Andy Reid (31:46) Jai-Alai (33:43) Discipline (36:41) Law Enforcement (38:00) NFL Broadcast Boot Camp (43:15) Rapid Fire Rappup (50:46) Where to find Tanard   Follow Tanard on Instagram and Twitter!

Jim Carrey, Wentworth Miller, and David Goggins have a perspective on suicide and depression that I needed to share in this short episode that I hope will give you a new perspective on what causes depression and what we can do about it.

Our first interview on Rappflex Radio is my current fitness coach, Cody! His company, Boom Boom Performance, is one that I admire a lot in the amount of content he provides consistently and his value ladder as an entrepreneur. He has e-books, a membership platform, and a 1-1 coaching program that all overdeliver on their value. I wanted to pick his brain more on the business side and his growth and progression as a company and brand. You can check out his podcast, The Boom Boom Performance Podcast if you want to nerd out on some training and nutrition concepts. Cody brought it though and I was really happy with how our conversation went and I hope you enjoy!   Time Stamps:   (2:57) Cody’s Story (10:39) Cody’s First Mentor (14:35) Mentors vs. Masterminds (19:39) Obsession  (26:54) Misconceptions in Fitness (30:52) Failing In Order to Succeed (32:26) Under the Hood of Boom Boom Performance  (33:54) Nutrition for Fat Loss Series (40:10) The One Thing By Gary Keller (43:50) Transitioning between Coaching and Leading  (46:10) How to Build a Company Culture (47:23) Rapid Fire Questions    Follow Cody on Instagram!
