Episode 76: Jerrod "J-Rod" Sullivan. If you're a drummer, chances are you've seen J-Rod pop up in your feed. He's one of the most exciting drummers to watch, and now he's holding down the drum chair for Janet Jackson. From uploading his first drum video to YouTube back in 2006 to building an audience of over 700,000 followers, J-Rod is living proof that consistency and passion pay off. We get into everything from his early days playing in church to building an online community of over 700K+ followers with his drum videos and how he creates them. We talk about staying consistent while on the road, and why authenticity is everything. Plus, we go deep into the Janet Jackson gig, talking about how it came together from a DM and the sacrifice he took dedicating 2 months to turn this Janet Jackson opportunity into a closed deal. I had to find out how in the world he plays the infamous “Control” drum fill, his gear setups, how he makes his social media videos (both the cameras, the audio, and the process), creating drumless tracks with the Moises app, his band The 4 Korners, staying sharp, and why it pays to act as if you already got the gig. J-Rod came through to my hotel room in Las Vegas to link up the next day after his show with Janet Jackson. I went to the show and it was incredible. After the show, we went out with Zedd until 5 a.m., and the next morning he went straight to AMA rehearsals with Janet, then soundcheck at Resorts World with Janet, then to my hotel room to do the interview, and then straight to his show with Janet that night. We were running on fumes for this convo, which made it fun in it's own way. We dive into his story, his viral rise, how he landed the Janet gig, and so much more.

Ep #315: My 7 Powerful Principles, the same ones from my College Success Habits book, are the foundation for my lifestyle, let alone my sobriety and recovery. Today, we bring them back and give them a two-episode spotlight.  Where are you developing your growth mindset in your life? Believing you are courageous starts with the courage to feel emotions. Being decisive and taking action doesn't mean just making the decision and acting upon it. It means staying steadfast in your determination to see the decision through and continuing to take action, even the smallest of steps, so that each and every day your head hits the pillow and you feel good about what you accomplished.  You do not have to move a mountain every day to feel like you are accomplishing your goals. Do things to get better at doing things. That is the pattern to build, the habit loop to forge. Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place at the right time—right now! ******************************************** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW, RATE, AND REVIEW my show on your preferred streaming app. Every little bit helps this show reach those who need it most. ******************************************** Please support the show!

Introduction: The Power of Decisiveness and Persistence I understand that decisiveness and persistence are vital for transforming my dreams into reality. I've seen how many people remain in the “what if” stage, which I can overcome by adopting these two principles. I appreciate the supporters of the show's Indiegogo campaign. I know I must act on knowledge through decision and persistence. Decisiveness: Making Firm Choices I need to make firm decisions to avoid losing momentum. My decisiveness involves choosing a definite course of action while eliminating alternatives. I understand the distinction between choices, which offer fallback plans, and true decisions, which leave no room for alternatives. I know my hesitation and indecision waste time and lead to missed opportunities. To enhance my decisiveness, I'll set clear criteria aligned with my vision, as I learned from Katya's interview. I'll use the “five-second rule” by counting down from five before making decisions. I recognize how too many choices can lead to paralysis, just like in restaurant menus. Persistence: Overcoming Setbacks and Staying Committed I know persistence means sticking to my chosen path despite facing setbacks and failures. It connects with my discipline and grit, helping me overcome obstacles and learn from mistakes. I'll focus on having a clear purpose, a definite plan, ignoring naysayers, and cultivating my support system. I'll break down my vision into smaller, manageable steps and focus on daily progress. I'll work with accountability partners and revisit my “why” every day. I'm inspired by J.K. Rowling's story of persistence through numerous rejections. Synergy of Decision and Persistence I understand that my decisiveness initiates action, while my persistence sustains it through challenges and doubts. I look to role models like Steve Jobs who demonstrate how bold decisions, coupled with persistence through failures, can lead to success. I'll reflect on decisions I need to make and areas where I need increased persistence. Conclusion I know that decision propels my progress, and persistence ensures I stay in the game, building success through bold choices and relentless effort. I'll share my stories of decisiveness and persistence, and I look forward to learning about mastermind groups in the next topic. Core Points: I believe decisiveness and persistence are essential for turning my visions into reality. I need to make firm decisions quickly to maintain momentum. I must differentiate between choices (with fallback plans) and decisions (no wiggle room). I understand that my indecision allows time to decide for me. To improve my decisiveness, I'll set clear criteria aligned with my vision, use the five-second rule, and limit my options to avoid analysis paralysis. I'll cultivate persistence by knowing my purpose, planning, blocking negativity, and building my supportive network. I can build persistence by breaking my visions into smaller steps, finding accountability partners, and revisiting my “why” daily for sustained commitment. I know decision initiates action, while persistence sustains it through challenges. I'll embrace failures as learning opportunities.

This conversation will make you think about your life in new ways. This is a two-hour segment of a 4.5-hour interview I did with Graham last year. It stands alone as remarkable, but those who subscribe to Colossus Review will gain access to the full conversation. This will be true in future issues, too. In 2006, in his early 30s, Graham convinced Stuart Miller, CEO of home construction company Lennar, to let him manage $50 million of his family's wealth. A year later, Miller gave him the rest of his capital outside of Lennar. That investment turned into East Rock, where Graham built an incredible investing track record managing billions for a select group of families by focusing on people. Our conversation explores a wide range of topics—from what makes a great investment partnership to the power of positive feedback loops to starting a restaurant. I'm thankful to Graham for showing me the way so many times and for being willing to be so incredibly open in this conversation. Please enjoy this discussion with Graham Duncan.  Subscribe to Colossus Review.

Hello beloved. Today, your guides are bringing you decisiveness, trust and clarity. The journey from the Page to the Queen of Swords in terms of personal power is one of growth from a place of nascent curiosity and potential to a state of realized wisdom and autonomy. Here's the narrative:Your journey starts with an awakening to your own thoughts and ideas (Page of Swords). You're learning to express yourself, to think critically, and perhaps to challenge hierarchies and lies.As you progress, like the Queen, you evolve into someone who can cut through illusions, who uses their intellect not just to speak but to lead with integrity and honesty. You become someone who listens, discerns, and then acts with precision.This duo advises that personal power for you involves both the courage to voice your truths (Page) and the maturity to understand when to hold your tongue or when to act decisively (Queen). It's about balancing enthusiasm with experience, learning to wield your mental sword with both the innocence of the Page and the seasoned judgment of the Queen.Your path to personal power is thus one of intellectual and emotional maturation, where you learn not only to think independently but also to live by your convictions with grace and strength.I love you, Kassandra Get full access to The Light Between at thelightbetween.substack.com/subscribe

You learned which streets you could walk on and which ones you did not dare to. However, by 1983, when we lived off of “Six and Gratiot” the city was taking a hard turn for the worse. My mother was born and lived for a time in rural Ohio in her youth. My parents decided that we needed a change from city life so, like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse, we packed up the truck and moved from the bright lights of the big city to the cornfields of rural Holmes County, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the best and most important experiences of my life.      A “Hobby Farm” Leaving Detroit behind, we moved into a small farm house that had previously been built by the English, but most recently owned by the Amish, therefore it had no electricity, telephone, etc. when we took occupancy. There were indoor plumbing and fixtures, but they weren't hooked up. For the first few weeks we roughed it, lighting the house with kerosene lamps in the evening, using an outhouse and drawing water from an outside well. There was a genuine wood-burning cook stove in the kitchen where my mother prepared our hot food until the electrician came to hook up the power and the plumber got the inside water running.

Yes, factoring in various viewpoints is the way forward for empathetic leaders - and enables us to see more opportunities and avoid more risks. But we must combine that with swift and decisive action to make a call. Leaving your people in limbo or avoiding difficult conversations is unkind.

And I'll hone in on six strategies that you can start using today to be more decisive. More details, examples, and tactics to try can be found in The Empathy Dilemma, so don't forget to snag your presale copy now at TheEmpathyDilemma.com.

Not knowing what decision to make, no matter how you mask it, demonstrates fear and insecurity.Learn to be clearer more quickly. Talk openly about the choices you're making whenever possible.Put a deadline on your thoughts. It's not about making good choices, it's about making good choices in a timely manner. "Perfection isn't the goal, even when it comes to high-stakes choices. Don't succumb to analysis paralysis. Instead, gather input, decide, and move forward with a sense of curiosity and experimentation." — Maria Ross Join the community and discover what empathy can do for you: http://red-slice.comPRE-SALE SPECIAL!

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them." – William Arthur Ward "Your big opportunity may be right where you are now." – Napoleon Hill Consider those who have soared: athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists. They didn't wait for opportunity to land on their laps. They stood up, sought it out, and seized it. They looked at the mountain and said, "I will climb this, step by step, until I reach the top." So I challenge each of you to find that spark, that passion, that idea that sets your soul on fire. That is your opportunity calling, and it's waiting for you to act. Whether it's a career move, a creative project, or a relationship that needs mending, don't wait for the perfect time. The perfect time is now. So seize your opportunity. Create your own door where one does not exist. And take that leap. The future belongs to those who dare to pursue it. This is a short reading from Orison Swett Marden called seize your opportunity.

The SPEED and DECISIVENESS with which you execute those plans! I've witnessed firsthand, time and time again, that the true movers and shakers possess an uncanny ability to act without hesitation. This is what I like to call the POWER OF NOW. The energy, the pure vibrational potential of an idea, is at its peak the instant it hits you. Waiting around, second-guessing, or drowning in the need for more information kills more great ideas than almost anything else. It stifles the momentum before it even has a chance to build. Now, I'm not saying there's never a time for patience. But let's be real — those moments are few and far between. The vast majority of victories come when you strike while the iron's hot, transforming that initial spark into a roaring fire. In this episode I'm teaching you: How swift action frees up your mental capacity The undeniable link between quick victories and the surge of CONFIDENCE and MOMENTUM they bring. The pitfalls of procrastination and overthinking, and how they barricade the path to success. Effective tactics to harness the POWER OF NOW, turning this mindset into your default mode.
