Today we're talking about how to master presence. When I say presence, I'm talking about that "in the zone" feeling, like athletes get, but for everyday life. It's about the way you carry yourself, how you show up, and how you command attention and respect just by being you. You don't need to be on a stage or a field to have it. I'm breaking it all down so you can start using it right now, no matter who you are or what you do. Show Notes:  [03:00]#1 Be exactly where you are while you are there.  [10:17]#2 Master the silent amplifiers.  [15:02]#3 Internal certainty.  [19:26]Recap Next Steps: ⭕️ The Circle in Work On Your Game University: http:// WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com/circle

In this episode, I'm talking about how to fast forward your life. I break down how to get the important stuff done quicker, thinking faster, acting faster, achieving faster. You already have a certain amount of time on this earth, so why not squeeze more wins and more progress into that time? Imagine hitting your five-year goals in just one year. That's what I mean when I say fast forward your life.

This is part two of our mini-series on how manifestation works. I talked about how the universe responds to boldness, not hesitation if you don't try, you don't get. I gave a couple real-life stories to show how confidence makes a difference. I also explained that manifestation ain't magic you gotta be clear, stay mentally locked in, and take action. And the biggest key? You attract what you are, not what you say so get your mindset right first, then everything else can fall into place. Show Notes:  [00:31]#1 Be bold.  [10:52]#2 Do not believe in magic.  [14:04]#3 You attract what you are, not what you say. [20:14]Recap Next Steps: ---

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 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: ---

If you're serious about leveling up, not just looking the part, today's episode is for you. In this episode, I'm breaking down Part 2 of our now-concluded mini-series on How To Be a High-Value Man. We're not talking about theory. This is about practical, real-world value that you bring to the table, with or without the flash.Listen in.

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.

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.

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.

Today, I'm diving into my biggest issue with the liberal view. A lot of people think I'm conservative, but I don't side with any political party. I've always tried to think logically and objectively. The liberal idea of equity—giving people different levels of help based on their needs—sounds good, but I don't agree with it. I'll explain why I'm not a fan and why I believe in a different approach. Show Notes:  [06:45]#1 Life isn't fair.  [14:29]#2 Some people have head starts and others get the opposite of a head start or ass start.This can't be denied and this is fair and exactly how life is supposed to be.  [21:53]#3 The easiest way to get support from anything or anyone in life is to build momentum by doing something yourself.

In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to have the standards of a true professional. I got the idea when I was looking at the weather forecast here in South Florida. I wasn't excited about the high temps, but the low temps—that's what made me happy. It made me realize that just like how I expect the lows to stay high here, a professional's standards should always stay high, no matter what. I'll explain how this all connects to being a real professional in your field. Show Notes:  [03:52]#1 Your low is higher than everybody else's high.  [08:36]#2 In your line of work, you are never caught off guard or caught by surprise.  [15:34]#3 You always solve all the problems.

In this episode, I'm talking about why I believe everyone deserves a platform. I've seen people get mad—not just at what someone says, but at the fact that they even got the chance to say it. That makes no sense to me. I used the Joe Rogan podcast as an example, because he brings on people with different views, and folks lose their minds over it. I don't care if I agree or not—people should be allowed to speak. Let's talk about why that matters. Show Notes:  [06:04]#1 Free speech and open discourse, United States of America.  [14:18]#2 Avoiding a guest or avoiding a topic is a form of censorship.  [18:28]#3 There is no such thing as "platforming" a person. The term itself is oxymoronic.  [22:12]#4 Audience backlash.  [25:32]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2219: The 12 Work On Your Game Commandments Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about what it really takes to win as a professional service entrepreneur. I'm talking to coaches, consultants, lawyers, doctors—anyone who sells their expertise. A lot of people in these spaces are messing up, not because they're bad at their work, but because they're focused on the wrong stuff. Your skills aren't the problem—it's that you're not fully serving what your clients actually want. I'll break down how to shift that and get your business on track. Show Notes:   [02:49]#1 People skills.  [07:29]#2 You must understand needs that are not specifically related to your expertise or service.  [14:59]#3 Touch.

In this episode, I talk about the war we're already in — and no, it's not World War Three. A lot of people ask me if that's where we're headed, and I always say, I hope not. But the truth is, we're already at war — an information war. Most people don't even realize it, but it's happening right now. And in many ways, this kind of war is even more dangerous. Show Notes:  [03:48]#1 The war between the people who believe what they are told  vs. people who think critically. [11:11]#2 What the people who accept everything they hear do not understand. [19:06]#3 The most important people we have in society today are those who are willing to challenge the accepted ideas [22:15]Recap Next Steps: Episodes Mentioned: 1826: How To Be A Critical Thinker [1/2] 1827: Habits Of A Critical Thinker [2/2] 2073: Signs That You're NOT A Critical Thinker 3156: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained [Part 1 of 3] Next Steps: ---

Today's topic is simple: all politicians are liars. And no, I'm not saying that to insult anyone personally. I'm saying the system in the U.S. is set up in a way that forces politicians to lie—it's built into the job. I've talked about politics before, but today I'm going deeper on why this happens and what it means for you. If you live in America, you need to hear this. Show Notes: [03:03]#1 To be successful in politics in the United States of America, you have no choice but to lie. [11:43]#2 The game of many politicians today. [24:22]#3 To be successful for a long time working in the public sector, you've got to get really good at spin, which is basically taking a story that is looking one way and make it look another way.

Today I'm talking about the three keys to intelligence. Most people think being smart means knowing a lot, but the real definition is your ability to get, understand, and use knowledge. That changed how I look at intelligence. In this episode, I'll show you how to become more intelligent based on that definition—not just opinion. If you want to level up your thinking, lock in for this one. Show Notes: [03:38]#1 Way to increase intelligence is you must seek knowledge. [13:18]#2 Know where to look for and where to find the knowledge that you want.  [23:34]#3 You got to apply the knowledge that you found. [30:10]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today is part two of my mini-series on why people use logical fallacies. Yesterday, I gave you the backstory, and before that, I did a four-part series on the fallacies themselves.  I explain how people use them to redirect uncomfortable conversations. Most don't even realize they're doing it, but you can defend yourself by controlling your emotions. Stay calm and logical to stay in control—reacting emotionally only gives power to others. Show Notes: [02:14]#4 Logical fallacies take conversations that are about topic ABC and turn them into a conversation about topic X, Y, Z.  [16:20]#5 People use logical fallacies all the time when they talk, but they're completely unaware of it, and they go through their entire lifetimes doing it simply because few people are keen to notice it, let alone can someone point it out or explain it.  [20:29]#6 The key to making yourself immune to having logical fallacies used against you, or you using some yourself is that you must first learn to control your emotions and reactions.  [23:08]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3110: The Most Common Logical Fallacies 1667: Dre For President?

In this episode, I'm breaking down how and why people use logical fallacies, even when they don't realize they're doing it. This topic is fun for me because once you know what to look for, you'll see it everywhere—especially when folks argue online or talk about current events. Most people lean on emotion instead of real logic, and that's where things start falling apart. I'll show you how to spot these fallacies so you don't fall for them, and also how to catch yourself before you do the same thing. Let's get into it. Show Notes: [06:40]#1 A person hears something with which they disagree.  [14:20]#2 Most people's knee jerk reactions to things that they disagree with are often based on their emotions, not their logic or rational thinking. [22:33]#3 Logical fallacies occur when someone is using, as I said, an illogical explanation for their position.
