Work On Your Game: Discipline, Confidence & Mental Toughness For Sports, Business & Life | Mental Health & Mindset

In this episode, I'm breaking down how manifestation really works. A lot of people talk about it, but most don't fully understand what it actually means or how to do it with intention. I'm walking you through a simple definition and showing you how to use manifestation on purpose not by accident. This is about getting the results you want in life, on your terms, and making it happen by design. Show Notes:  [01:37]#1 Clarity of Outcome  [07:44]#2 Your thoughts are the constant instructions.  [15:01]#3 Emotion and aligned actions.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what a disciplined man does. Discipline is the foundation of everything we do here. It's the first thing I mention for a reason. I believe the biggest reason society is slipping is because too many men are not handling their business. If men stepped up, things would start getting better real fast. So today, I'm laying out the steps every man needs to follow to be disciplined and do his part. Show Notes:  [02:33]#1 A disciplined man is discerning about women and men who make themselves and their offerings too easily available. [09:21]#2 Stick to script and process even when success is "late to the party" [16:06]#3 Disciplined men naturally draw admiration from both women and men for reliability and consistency without trying [21:11]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3331: How To Avoid Traps 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1431: Discernment: Your Skill Of Perception And Judgement 3012: Happiness Is NOT The Goal 582: Being Motivated Does Not Require Fun, Joy or Happiness Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down what you should be doing with AI chatbots like ChatGPT right now. And I don't just mean ChatGPT I'm talking about any AI tool out there: Claude, Grok, whatever your favorite is. The key is not which one you use, but how you use it. I also explain why this tech is moving faster than most people realize and how you need to get ahead of the curve starting today. Plus, if you didn't know, I got my own custom chatbot you can try for free DreGPT. Show Notes:  [01:56]#1 Replacing Google.  [06:18]#2 Get the paid version and create a custom GPT.  [15:47]#3 Ask multi-layered questions and get solid directional insights.  [22:35]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about why debate culture is useless. You see it all over social media two people arguing just to get views and likes. Most of the time, they don't even believe what they're saying. It's all fake, planned out just to keep people entertained. I don't waste my time on that kind of stuff. I'd rather use my energy on things that actually help me grow, and I know a lot of y'all feel the same way. Show Notes:  [04:46]#1 Debates in school are the ones that should be about winning. [11:59]#2 Debates these days are all about the gotcha. [16:04]#3 Actual debate should occur between honest dealers.  [23:29]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about something a lot of people say to me: “It's not that easy.” And you know what? I agree with them. It's not supposed to be easy, that's the whole point. I've had all kinds of people say this to me over the years, and today I'm explaining why that phrase actually proves why the work matters in the first place. Show Notes:  [02:02]#1 The third law of economics.  [08:44]#2 If it were easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone will have it and thus it would not be valuable.  [17:29]#3 The fact that it's not easy is not a reason to stay away from a thing.  [24:56]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down Newton's three laws of motion. If you don't remember them or never learned them, that's fine I got you. I'll explain each law in simple terms and show you how they apply to real life, not just science. I like clear rules because they help us stay focused and not make excuses. These laws will help you look at your actions and results in a whole new way. Show Notes:  [02:01]#1 The law of inertia.  [10:16]#2 Force equals mass times acceleration. [15:54]#3 Action and reaction. [25:35]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2466: The Law Of Inertia Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I wrap up part two of our mini-series on how to be a High Value Woman. I break down the last three points: low sexual history, fitting into a man's program, and feminine presentation. I explain why these things matter both in private and in public, and how they reflect on the man you're with. If you missed part one, go listen to that first. Let's finish what we started. Show Notes:  [00:38]#6 Low sexual history.  [14:29]#7 Willing to fit into a man's program.  [18:05]#8 A feminine presentation.

In this episode, I'm talking to the ladies about how to be a high value woman. A few episodes back, I laid out what makes a man high value now it's only right I do the same for the women. If you want to position yourself to attract high value men and stand out in the dating marketplace, this is the game you need to understand. I'm breaking it down in a simple, honest way, no fluff. This is part one of a two-part series. Show Notes:  [02:12]#1 Physical beauty.  [07:09]#2 Cooperative and submissive nature.  [18:41]#3 Supportive and nurturing energy.  [23:02]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3311: How To Be A "High Value Man" [Part 1 of 2] 3312: How To Be A "High Value Man" [Part 2 of 2] Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about how to avoid traps. A trap is something that looks fun, easy, or like a good deal but in the end, it costs you more than you thought. People fall into traps all the time because they don't see the danger until it's too late. I'm breaking down how to spot these setups before you get caught. This all comes down to discipline and learning to think before you jump. Show Notes:  [02:05]#1 Beware of the free lunch. [09:18]#2 Think about your exit strategy before you enter.  [14:03]#3 Ask yourself how much, whoever is making the offer, benefits versus how much you benefit.

In this episode, I'm talking about the N-word—what it means, who uses it, and the unwritten rules around it. A recent situation sparked the idea for this topic, but the episode isn't about that specific event. As a Black American, I've used the term myself in the past, so I'm speaking from experience. This is a real conversation that needs to be had, and we're going to break it all down right here. Show Notes:  [01:49]#1 You're white, you probably shouldn't use the word. [07:18]#2 Addressing black people, we have made the word popular.  [13:19]#3 We created this, sold it, defended it… and now we wanna act surprised it came back to us? [22:03]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today's topic is part two of our series on artificial intelligence — AI is your employee, not your boss. In this class, I break down why you still need to think for yourself even when AI gives you feedback. If you're letting AI run the show, you're not the boss anymore, you're the worker. I also talk about how AI can either replace you or work for you, depending on how you use it. Plus, I introduce my Dre GPT chatbot and tell you how to get access Show Notes:  [00:36]#4 When you are using artificial intelligence, you are still required to think, interpret, discern, and decide what to do after receiving feedback from your help. [06:08]#5 Many people falsely believe that the emergence of AI means that you will not have to think as much or do as much because the AI will be doing the work for you. If you think that way you're going to be replaced.  [16:06]#6  If you put yourself in a position where AI can work completely independent of you, then in that space you become effectively unnecessary.  [22:38]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about artificial intelligence. I know a lot of people are using it, but let me be clear, AI is your employee, not your boss. I had a conversation during one of my live streams where some folks got confused. Just because I used ChatGPT to check a fact doesn't mean I need to use it for everything. I'm breaking down why you should use AI as a tool not let it run the show. Show Notes:  [02:08]#1 You use AI as necessary and not use it when it's not necessary. [08:03]#2 AI is designed based on the aggregated information grabbed from the Internet. [17:38]#3 You must Learn how to use AI and automation as your employees, not let them use you as your bosses.   [20:37]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3102: Give Advice ONLY If... Next Steps: ---

This is part three, the final piece of why I'm not a politician. In this one, I break down three more reasons: limited income potential (compared to entrepreneurship), the fact that politics puts your whole life on blast, and how people will lie and attack you just because they disagree. I'm not signing up for that circus — and I explain exactly why. Let's wrap this series up. Show Notes:  [00:38]#7 Limited income potential Compared to entrepreneurship. [05:45]#8 Everybody's in your business when you're a politician. [14:23]#9 Logical fallacies abound.  [20:59]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm picking up with part two of why I'm not a politician. Today I talk about how I don't like having to answer to people I don't respect, how no matter what you do, half the people will hate it, and how the system is so stuck with red tape you can't get anything real done. You basically get blocked just because of who you are. And that's another big reason why politics ain't for me — but trust me, I've got more coming tomorrow. Show Notes:  [00:34]#4 Having to listen to, answer to, or be subordinate to others who have more seniority than me.    [07:13]#5 No matter what you do, half the people, actual citizens, will be pissed off at you.  [13:46]#6 High levels of bureaucracy means it's hard to get anything substantial done.   [20:24]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1663: Your Favorite Flavor Of "Shit Sandwich" Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about why I'm not a politician and why I wouldn't be good at it. Some people on my live streams say I'd make a good one, but they don't really get how politics works. Just having good ideas and meaning well isn't enough. There's a big cost that comes with being in politics, and most people don't see that. I'm breaking it all down today and over the next two episodes. Show Notes:  [02:00]#1 You have no choice but to lie for a living.  [10:09]#2 Lowercase politics. [18:08]#3 Receiving donor money to fund my campaigns. [26:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1667: Dre For President? Governor? Mayor? Why I'd FAIL In Politics Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about the discipline problem a lot of men are dealing with right now. Too many guys are slipping, being reckless, not handling their responsibilities, and just not showing up every day like we're supposed to. I've been covering this in other episodes and live streams, but today I'm coming at it from a new angle. This isn't just about personal mistakes it's why society is falling apart. And I'm here to help fill in the gaps for the men who don't even know what they're missing. Show Notes:  [03:08]#1 Doing the shit that you know you are supposed to do. [10:36]#2 You must know when the job is done and not overdo it or do it too much. [15:41]#3 Being accurate more than being right.

Today's topic is about what you think other people think of you. I'm using the race conversation specifically the nonsense from race hustlers as the frame, but this really applies to everybody. These folks make money by telling black people that white people hate to see them succeed. But the crazy part is, these same race hustlers usually got their success working for the very people they claim are the problem. I'm breaking it all down and showing you why what others think about you especially when it's based on lies is not your concern. Show Notes:  [04:47]#1 It's not your business what other people think of you.  [0813]#2 You cannot read nor police thoughts. [17:29]#3 What you think shows in your energy and your actions was projection onto others what you think of you.  [26:15]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1788:  Destroying "Antiracism" Next Steps: ---

Today I'm talking about why ambitious men should be monogamous. I know some other guys say different things, and that's cool—but I see it another way. A lot of successful men mess up their careers by getting into drama with women. Most of the time, that doesn't happen to men who are in a real, committed relationship. If you're a man trying to do big things, being with one woman helps you stay focused. Show Notes:  [04:33]#1 Your five forms of investment - time, money, attention, energy and focus, all of those need to be going towards your purpose.  [14:02]#2  When you start achieving, you're going to start to draw attention that has nothing to do with your purpose. You will be tempted by them. A committed relationship can serve as a guardrail that keeps you focused. [32:33]#3  Rarely do you see a single man become mayor, governor, or president. Because a man who's on a pedestal with power is going to attract women. And that has nothing to do with what you are being hired to do.

In this episode, I'm talking about boss requirements—what it really takes to be in charge. A lot of people want to be their own boss these days, call their own shots, and set their own schedules. I get it, and there's never been more opportunity to do that than right now. But before you start running a team or a business, you've got to know what it takes to lead—even if it's just leading yourself. Whether you're raising kids, running a company, or planning to fire your boss, this one's for you. Show Notes:  [03:09]#1 Hold yourself to a higher account than anyone else holds you. [09:39]#2 Be willing to stand and walk alone.  [23:49]#3 Temporarily sacrifice security and exchange in exchange for freedom and autonomy. [26:12]Recap Next Steps: ---

People say you “rise to the occasion,” but that's not really true. What actually happens is you fall to the level of your preparation. If you don't prepare, the moment will beat you. In this episode, I'm breaking down what that really means and how to make sure you're ready when the pressure hits. Show Notes:  [02:37]#1 Hallmark of a professional is that they are always prepared.  [08:44]#2 You battle test yourself.  [17:43]#3 Stoicism. [20:56]Recap Next Steps: ---

The biggest problem most people have is that you're too slow. I'm not talking about being slower than other people. I'm saying you're moving slower than you could be. You don't know how much time you have left, so you gotta treat every day like it matters. In this episode, I'm breaking down why speed is everything and how you can start moving faster, right now. Show Notes:  [05:49]#1 You think slow.  [11:32]#2 You decide slowly. [15:33]#3 You are slow to take action. [20:00]Recap Next Steps: ---

We're on part three of this series and we're talking about the information war and why it's never going to end. This is a fight you'll be in for the rest of your life, like it or not. Let's go. Show Notes:   [02:06]#7 We have no universal referee, at least not in the secular world.  [06:05]#8 Outrage is a business model.  [13:46]#9 Most people do not have the time nor the skill set to vet everything that they hear.  [18:06]#10 Narrative and Persuasion Beats Data and Information. [22:53]Recap Next Steps: ---

This is part two of my mini-series on why the information war will never end. And I mean never. In this episode, I break down why the fight for attention is always happening and what you need to know about it. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:55]#4 Everyone is a broadcaster.  [12:29]#5 Algorithms reward attention over substance. [18:26]#6 More than ever, facts are just filtered through personal beliefs.

We're in a war right now not with soldiers or bombs, but with information. I'm talking about the information war, and it's already happening all around us. Whether you watch the news, scroll social media, or post anything online, you're part of it. In this episode, I explain what the information war is, how we got here, and why it's never going to end. This is part one of a three-part series, so stay tuned. Show Notes:  [03:40]#1 Facts no longer matter.  [09:42]#2 Information moves faster than we can keep up, so the battle never ends. [17:03]#3 The so-called trusted sources have lost their credibility, so it makes sense not to trust them anymore.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the only two ways a man can make things happen in life. If you're a man, listen up, and if you're a woman, pass this on to the men in your life. I'm going to tell you why there are only two ways to reach your goals no matter where you are or what you want to achieve. This isn't about over-complicating things; it's about focusing on the two paths that actually matter. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:41]#1 Chase after everything you want and when you don't have it all yet, run faster.  [13:00]#2 Decide on your essentials.  [25:24]#3 If you can get yourself to this level of discipline and focus, the outcome of this win is 100 times more than the outcome of all the small wins added together.

People out here keep saying you can have it all. I'm telling you straight up—you can't. I don't care what you saw on Instagram or who told you otherwise. Nobody has everything, no matter how good it looks. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that idea is fake and what's really real. Show Notes:  [03:34]#1 Third law of economics. [12:44]#2 Anything you see that looks like 'having it all' comes at a cost you just don't see it, haven't heard it, or aren't willing to pay for it.

In this episode, I'm telling you not to start a podcast. Yeah, I said it. These days, everybody's trying to create content just because it looks easy or popular. But most people are doing it for the wrong reasons. I'm breaking down why you should think twice before jumping into podcasting or any kind of content creation just because everybody else is doing it. Show Notes:  [04:58]#1  You do not have something to say that you absolutely cannot not say. [11:28]#2 You are not ready to commit to the long game of building an audience and building trust within that audience. [22:05]#3 You do not have a clear angle nor a clear audience to deliver or to whom you will deliver a clear angle.  [27:21]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3203: Why Instagram "Ass Models" Exist Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to be a high value man. This idea was made popular by Kevin Samuels, a guy I came across a couple years ago when one of his videos went viral. Kevin had a straight-up, no-nonsense way of speaking that reminded me of how I talk and that pulled me in. He used to have deep conversations about dating and relationships, especially around the kind of man women say they want.  I'm breaking down the points he made about what makes a man high value, but explaining them in my own words. This is part one of a two-part series, and just so you know this isn't a pick-and-choose thing. You need all the qualities if you want to be that guy.

In this episode, I talk about a conversation I saw on X (formerly Twitter) where some business owners said their companies took a big hit after tariffs went into effect during the Trump administration. While that's a real situation, this episode isn't about tariffs. I'm not here to talk about news. I leave that for my live streams every weekday at 8am Eastern. What I'm really breaking down today is the mindset behind how people react when things go wrong. The main point: blaming others should never be part of your approach. Show Notes:  [04:26]#1 When you are a leader, you don't have the luxury of blaming anyone for anything. [09:16]#2 Everything that happens is your responsibility, even if it's not your fault.  [15:26]#3 The opportunity is always in opposites in life.  [18:07]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1343: How To "Solve The Problems" And Add Value 2889: Entrepreneurs: You Are In The Problem Business 2726: How To Solve "Unsolvable" Problems 2723: How To Solve Problems 2623: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems 2340: Your Top 5 Problems AFTER Your Business Is Making Money 2079: Good Players Vs Difference Makers 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: ---

In today's episode, I'm talking about some important things school never taught us, stuff everybody needs to know in real life. This isn't about hating on teachers, it's about the system itself and what it chooses to leave out on purpose. I'll break down what those things are and why they matter so much. And if you feel like I'm calling you out personally, that's on you, not me. Show Notes:  [04:03]#1 Entrepreneurship. [11:22]#2 Sales [17:15]#3 Personal finance.  [22:54]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about how to survive when the economy takes a hit. Every time a new president gets elected, people blame them for everything going wrong especially if they didn't vote for them. But here's the truth: if things go bad, they go bad for all of us, no matter who you voted for. So instead of wasting time blaming, focus on what you can do. I'll show you how to handle a downturn and even find ways to win during it.

Today's episode is part two of our miniseries about staying out of court and I mean that literally, not as a metaphor. I'm breaking down why it's so important to avoid the legal system, even if you think you're right in what you're doing. Courts can mess up your life, so trust me, you don't want to go there. If you missed yesterday's episode, go listen to it first, then come back and we'll dive deeper. Show Notes:  [02:07]#4 Exceptions don't prove the rule, being right can cost you everything.

I'm mostly talking to men today, but this is for women too, especially if you're quick to pull a weapon or use your hands to make a point. The bigger message is this: stay out of the legal system in America. I know some lawyers listen to this, and I'm not trying to hurt your business, most people just won't follow this advice anyway. Remember, I'm not giving legal advice, but what really matters is the result of what you do, not how you explain it. I'll explain why the result matters today and tomorrow. Show Notes:  [03:38]#1 America is the most litigious society in the world and is getting worse.  [11:25]#2 For the men and the women who have aggressive tendencies or carry a weapon, understand the continuum of force. [18:44]#3  There are crazy people in the world and it may come a time when you do need to defend yourself.  [20:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3249: Men: Be Smart, Not "Tough" 3224: Men: Stop Being Pussies Next Steps: ---

Today, I'm talking about the adult immaturity problem — yeah, us adults need to take a hard look at ourselves. We adults are letting down the younger generation because many of us act like we're their age instead of being the grown-ups they can look up to. We're acting like kids when we should be leading. In this episode, I explain how we're messing up and share some ideas on how we can fix it. If we don't step up, who will? Show Notes:  [02:26]#1 You cannot cut yourself off from information or resources just because you have a supposed personal issue with the source of information or with the information itself.  [08:40]#2 You've got to break out of your information tribe and listen to people you don't agree with..

Today, I'm talking about something I just made up called White Derangement Syndrome. I'll explain what it is, where it comes from, and how it works. It mostly shows up with some race-hustling Black people who use it to push their own angle. If you heard my three-part series on Trump Derangement Syndrome (episode 3158), you'll get the idea — people going crazy over stuff Trump says or does. This is like that, but about race.  Show Notes:  [02:45]#1 Some black people have been indoctrinated into believing anything that goes against white people or allegedly upsets or annoys white people. [09:59]#2 The Real White Supremacy. [18:51]#3 Too many people in general, regardless of race or background make the mistake of thinking that other people are thinking about you a lot more than they're actually thinking about you.  [21:26]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3158: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm picking up on a topic we've been talking about—credibility, credentials, and who people choose to listen to. I've got a college degree in business from Pennsylvania State University, so I'm not speaking as someone who's against education. But I'm asking a real question today: does a college degree actually mean you're competent? Some folks with degrees might not like what I have to say, but I'm here to tell the truth. Let's not delay the inevitable. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [02:28]#1 Holding a college degree does not make you competent.  [10:47]#2 Having a degree or credential doesn't automatically make your words valid or worth following. [20:06]#3 Your argument should stand on its own merit, not on your credentials or resume.

In this episode, I talk about why I call people out online sometimes. It's not to argue or win debates with random folks, most of them have way more time to waste than I do. I do it because it helps me sharpen my message and create better content for you. It's not really about them, it's about making my point stronger.  Show Notes:  [02:59]#1 Noticing the fallacies and flaws in most people's reasoning.  [09:17]#2 It sharpens my argumentation skills. [15:21]#3 It provides me with content ideas for future material.  [21:08]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2167: Being "Right" Vs Being Accurate [They're NOT The Same] Next Steps: ---

People call me a content creator, but I'm not and I never have been. I put out a lot of content, more than most, but creating content is not my job title.  In this class, I explain what I do consider myself, why I don't fit into the “Content Creator” box, and how the business side of things changes the game. I also break down why these platforms are set up to keep you creating even if you're not really building anything real.  Let's talk about what it really means to be in business and why that's a whole different lane. Show Notes:  [05:45 ]#1 Creating content is part of what I do, but it's not the main thing that I do. I use content to move people to the main things that I do.   [10:21 ]#2 I knew early on I couldn't build my business on YouTube because I didn't control the platform. [18:50 ]#3 Content creation is not a business model. [27:30 ]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3261: The First 3 Laws Of Economics 1862: Want To Be A Creator Or Influencer?

In this episode, I'm sharing more great books you should read and why. I've done a bunch of these episodes before, but it's been a minute since the last one.  I read a lot, so if you want to grow, these will point you in the right direction.

In this episode, I'm talking about why you need to be important, not nice. I know that goes against what most people say, but that's exactly why I'm saying it. The whole “it's more important to be nice” idea sounds good, but it doesn't actually help you win. ‘ I'll break down why that phrase is nonsense and what really matters if you want to be respected and make things happen. Show Notes:  [02:42]#1 It is much more important to be important than it is to be nice. [09:30]#2 People who emphasize being nice over being important also often do so as a rationalization, as a compensatory action, because they are not important enough to not be nice. [24:36]#3 When you're important, you have a significant impact on success. [27:50]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2338: The TRASH That Is The American Medical System Next Steps: ---

Today I'm talking about the most racist group in America. These days, everybody says they want to fight racism and make things better, but a lot of folks are lying or just missing the point. I'm not sugarcoating anything in this episode. I'm getting straight to the truth. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:56]#1 The black liberal is the black person who is brought into leftist dogma.  [06:43]#2 Black on black physical and verbal violence. [20:08]#3 Black conservatives often face the most backlash from other Black people. [24:54]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today I'm talking about the misdirection of the Black liberal. This isn't really about politics or parties—it's more about how I see a lot of Black liberals thinking and moving in ways that don't actually help us. I'm sharing my personal thoughts and what I've noticed happening. You can call it political if you want, but to me, it's more of a social thing. Either way, it needs to be said—so let's get into it. Show Notes:  [03:07]#1 What's happening in politics is the same thing they did to music. They took something that was generally respectful and professional and they ghettofied it.  [18:36]#2 Many black people believe being authentically black means being ghetto from the hood. [29:15]#3 The black community used to have a problem with people using N words, and behold them accountable. Now we've come to celebrate not only N words, the people, but also the N word itself.  [36:55]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2255: Why I Don't Do "N-Word" Business Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm finishing part two of my talk on whether the little guy can still make it in America. This time, I'm breaking down the reasons some people say no—like AI taking jobs, student debt, and the system favoring the rich. I get where they're coming from, but I'm showing you how to flip those things to work for you. I still believe anyone can make it here if you're willing to think differently and take action. If you're ready to do that you should listen now!. Show Notes:  [02:15]#4 Artificial intelligence and automation are effectively replacing jobs and replacing people. [06:31]#5 People are trapped in debt from education.  [14:21]#6 The financial system favors the wealthy.  [19:38]#7 Pay to play. You need money to get in the game.  [22:49]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm starting a new two-part series—this time, I'm arguing the other side. Last time, I told you why I believe the little guy can still make it in America. Now, I'm giving you the reasons why some people say the little guy can't make it—and why some of those reasons actually make sense. I don't agree with them, but I want you to hear both sides. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [02:33]#1 Cost of living plus inflation make it harder.  [07:12]#2 Big businesses are dominating and controlling the markets. [14:44]#3 The rich continue to get richer while everyone else is stagnating.

This is part two of our talk: Can the little guy still make it in America? The answer is yes, and I'm telling you exactly why.  Right now, it's easier than ever to get money, make money, and connect with people—even all over the world. The playing field is more level than it's ever been. But I know some people still don't believe it. Let's stop being the little guy—let's become the big one.

In this episode, I'm starting part one of a two-part mini-series where I'm answering one big question from both sides: Can the little guy still make it in America? Today, I'm making the case for yes—why someone starting from zero, with no help, can still succeed here. Then in the next couple of episodes, I'll flip the script and break down why some folks would say no. I do this often—lay out both sides, so you can think deeper. Let's start with the reasons why the little guy still has a shot. Show Notes:  [03:30]#1 Access to opportunity. [09:38]#2 We are still living in a performance and results based business, and there is still a chance for anyone to make it in America, regardless of where they started.  [13:11]#3 America rewards innovation.  [15:00]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today, we're talking about a question you've probably heard a lot: Are billionaires keeping everyone else poor? This is something people—politicians, family, friends—love to blame on the rich. But I'm going to break down why this "us vs. them" idea isn't the whole picture. It's easy to blame billionaires, but the real issue might be closer to home. Let's dive in and talk about it. Show Notes:  [06:12]#1 Human nature.  [14:38]#2 You can make the smaller group easy scapegoats.  [24:48]#3 Political posturing. [30:20]Recap Next Steps: ---
