I jump on a Twitter argument about James Harden vs. Michael Jordan to show a bigger point: people try to diminish other folks' success by saying “they just tried harder,” like that makes the win smaller. Trying harder and getting results isn't shameful — it's the point. If you want more, stop making excuses and try harder.

As a Black man, I hear “pro-Black” or “anti-Black” all the time, mostly from what I call race hustlers—people who turn every issue into a racial one to stir emotions and gain attention.  In this class, I break down how this manipulation works, how it ties to movements like BLM, and why words alone don't prove where you stand. Being for or against Black people isn't about what you say—it's about your behavior, your alignment, and your results. Show Notes: [05:99]#1 Black is not a way of thinking nor acting.  [17:15]#2 No one is required to stand up, speak up or get active on a subject just because of the color of their skin or their proximity to a situation.  [25:41]#3 Life is a results based business.

Most people think they're the same, but they're not. Effort is what you do, the physical work. Energy is the presence and power behind that work. You can put in effort without strong energy, but real impact comes when your energy moves the room.  Let's talk about why that difference matters and how to use it to your advantage. Show Notes [01:51]#1 Effort is physical. Energy is spiritual.  [11:04]#2 Effort depletes while energy multiplies.

In every room, from business to social settings, men respect action, not talk. When you make clear decisions, especially under pressure, you earn instant respect and stand out as a leader. Decisiveness is what separates strong men from weak ones, and that's exactly what we're getting into today. Show Notes [02:37]#1 Leaders are trusted to make decisions.  [09:39]#2 Most people, men included, have a head full of noise.

From my work with hundreds of guys, I've seen that hesitation kills attraction. Women are drawn to men who know what they want and move with confidence. Being decisive isn't about controlling others, it's about taking charge of situations instead of letting them control you. I'll break down how to build that decisiveness and how it instantly changes your dating life. Show Notes [02:56]#1 Decisiveness signals certainty. [10:48]#2 Indecision creates anxiety.  [16:10]#3 The end game of everything that we do as men, especially in working in our behaviors, is having presence.  [21:09]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3311: How To Be A "High Value Man" 3332: How To Be A "High Value" Woman Next Steps ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com 

If you've got skills or specialized knowledge that people would pay for, you can't just keep it all in your head. You've got to organize it, structure it, and turn it into something that can be taught, shared, or sold.  In this episode, I talk about why you need to codify your knowledge as soon as possible. 'll break down why this matters so much, especially for entrepreneurs and professionals who want to scale their impact and income. Show Notes [02:27]#1 Codifying your knowledge means to organize or arrange systematically, especially writing. [10:03]#2 Codification isn't just about putting your knowledge on paper. It's about making it clear, easy to follow, and able to create consistent results without you. 
[17:53]#3 The sooner and better you get your knowledge codified, the more potential you give yourself for expanding and multiplying the ROI from the knowledge you possess.  [21:56]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1101: Codification Of Your Knowledge Next Steps ---

As your business grows, you'll deal with more people, and managing those relationships becomes key. A good CRM helps you organize and maintain those connections, whether they're clients, prospects, or future partners.  In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about CRMs — what they are, why they exist, and how to use them. I'll explain why strong relationships can often matter more than skill or value alone, and how a proper CRM system keeps you winning in business. Show Notes:  [02:54]#1 CRM is any software that allows you to manage the context, the relationships, the communications that you have with other people.  [09:41]#2 The point of a CRM is to keep your communications organized.  [18:48]#3 The most important thing any human being can do when dealing with other humans, whether in business or not, is to be consistent and thorough in your communication.  [25:00]Recap Next Steps ---

A lot of people talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur even though they've never actually done it — and that's where the nonsense starts.  I share why these false ideas spread, what the truth really is, and how to think with logic instead of assumption. If you've ever wanted to know what being an entrepreneur is really about, this episode clears it all up. Show Notes:  [03:30]#1 You have to work 60 hours a week when you're an entrepreneur.  [10:07]#2 You need credit and capital and an LLC and a website.  [17:31]#3 Entrepreneurship is all about freedom.  [22:51]Recap Next Steps ---

In this part two of my series on the main modalities of professional work, I talk about what it really means to be a pro. You can't call yourself a professional if you're only training or practicing — you have to get in the game and perform. Winning is the goal, whatever your “game” looks like — sales, business, sports, or life. I also share what makes a great consultant or trainer: experience, communication, and the ability to sell. Show Notes:  [01:10]#4 Playing in the game. [06:54]#5 Be a professional. [16:28]#6 The ideal analyst or trainer is someone who has done all four consistently and they have the ability to talk about it and explain it and your ability to sell it.  [23:59]Recap Next Steps ---

Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, or corporate professional, there are key ways top performers operate.  In this episode, I break down the main modalities of professional work and this applies no matter what field you're in. I use lessons from my sports background to show how these same principles apply to your career or business. By the end, you'll understand exactly how to engage at each level of your work like a true professional.

Systems are what make success repeatable. Unlike talent or personality, a system works for anyone when it's built right. I talk about how I design, test, and install systems that help you get consistent results in business and life. If you want real progress, you need systems. Show Notes:  [02:07]#1 We start with outcomes, not activities.  [07:28]#2 Keep track of and document everything that works and discard everything that does not work.  [19:45]#3 Systems are boring on purpose.  [23:21]Recap Next Steps ---

In this final part of the series, I break down why powerful men never masturbate. If you want to be elite, you can't afford to leak energy. You need every bit of it to stay sharp, focused, and at the top of your game. Every time you give in, you lower your standards and kill your drive for real-world success. The top 1% don't waste energy; they channel it into presence, achievement, and leadership. Show Notes:  [01:05]#10 You cannot be elite while leaking energy. [07:11]#11 You lower your standards without even knowing it. [14:28]#12 You disqualify yourself from being in the top 1%.  [20:45]Recap Next Steps ---

We're in part three of this four-part series on why powerful men never masturbate. In this one, I talk about how porn-based masturbation disconnects you from real women and messes up your sense of real intimacy. It also trains you to quit by giving in to easy urges instead of building discipline and power. And lastly, it flips the dominance polarity, turning you from an assertive man into a passive consumer.  If you want to keep your masculine energy strong, you need to hear this one. Show Notes:  [01:00]#7 It disconnects you from real women. [07:54]#8 You are teaching yourself to quit. [15:10]#9 It reverses the dominance polarity.  [23:24]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3311: How To Be A "High Value Man" [Part 1 of 2] 2730: Knocking Down Your "Big Dominoes" Next Steps ---

We're back for part two of the series on why powerful men never masturbate. In this one, I talk about how releasing your energy too often weakens your presence — your eye contact, your voice, even the way people feel your energy. When your energy drops, everyone feels it, from women to kids to even your dog. I also break down how masturbation trains you to be alone and kills your social and sexual drive.  If you want to keep your energy magnetic and your presence strong, this episode is for you. Show Notes:  [01:01]#4 You are draining yourself. [08:01]#5 Tension is releasing. This costs you magnetic presence. [14:29]#6 You condition yourself to be alone.  [18:56]Recap Next Steps ---

This is the start of a four-part series on why a powerful man should never, ever masturbate. I'm breaking down the difference between sex and masturbation — because they're not the same thing. Sex is creative energy. It's giving and dominant. Masturbation is escapist energy. It drains you instead of building you.  In this episode, I explain why that difference matters if you want to stay in your power as a man. Show Notes:   [03:27]#1 You are leaking your life force.  [07:45]#2 Masturbation is a choice to chase pleasure over power.  [15:37]#3 You are making yourself spiritually softer. [20:16]Recap Next Steps ---

We're back with part two of “Do Companies Exploit Their Employees?” In this one, I explain why your problem isn't exploitation — it's lack of leverage. When you have no leverage, you get controlled. When you build leverage, no one can exploit you. I talk about what leverage really means, how to create it, and how to make yourself unexploitable by changing your mindset, your actions, and the way you show up in business. Show Notes:  [01:01]#4 Do workers matter? Yes, they do.  [08:07]#5 To remove the cap on your upside, you got to remove your downside.  [12:54]#6 Your problem is you lack leverage. [17:16] Recap Next Steps ---

Are companies really exploiting their employees? That's what I'm breaking down in this episode. A lot of people are quick to blame the rich, business owners, or “the system” for why they don't have what they want, but that frame leaves out one key thing: personal responsibility. I talk about how this mindset became popular, why it's so convincing, and why I don't buy into it.  Let's dig into the real reason some people stay stuck while others rise. Show Notes:   [05:18]#1 Hell no.  [10:35]#2 Entrepreneurs are the one who took the fucking risk. [14:46]#3 If you take no risk, you get no reward.  [18:41]#Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1788: Destroying "Antiracism" 3406: Extremity Becomes Identity Next Steps ---

Most people mix up strategies and systems, and that's why they stay stuck. A strategy is your plan of action; it tells you what to do. A system is what helps you do it consistently without burning out. You need both if you want long-term success. In this episode, I break down the difference and show you how to make them work together so your results don't depend on how you feel that day. Show Notes:  [02:57]#1 Strategies are what we aim to do. [08:21]#2 Systems are about how you do things. [22:09]#3 Clear strategies make for easier systems.  [27:55]#Recap Next Steps ---

I brought back my Daily Motivation text messages, and yes, they're officially live again.

This is part three of my Escape the Matrix series, and we're closing it out strong. In this episode, I'm breaking down three more traps that keep you plugged in: the feminization of men, false freedom, and the pharmaceutical industry. I talk about why men aren't being trained to be men anymore, how you're being sold the idea of freedom when your choices are really controlled, and how the medical system keeps you scared and dependent.  Listen in so you can see these traps for what they are and start taking your power back. Show Notes:  [01:05]#7 The ongoing feminization of men. [09:03]#8 The idea of false freedom.

We're back with part two of my three-part series on how to Escape the Matrix. In this episode, I'm breaking down three more traps that keep you plugged in: social media, the financial system, and the celebrity world. I explain why you should treat social media like a tool — not a place to build your life — and why you must learn about money outside of school if you want to stop being kept in the dark. I also talk about how celebrity culture is designed to keep you distracted from living your own life.  Listen in so you can start unplugging and building your own Matrix. Show Notes:  [01:07]#4 Social media is a hoe, not a housewife.   [07:38]#5 The financial system. [17:07]#6 Celebrities and entertainment.  [21:59]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3309: What School Does NOT Teach... And Why Next Steps ---

You've heard the red pill, blue pill idea from the movie — blue pill means keep living how you live, red pill means you wake up and see the truth, even if it's uncomfortable. Today I'm breaking down what the Matrix really is in everyday life in sports, school, government, relationships — and why most people stay inside it.  If you're ready to stop blinding yourself to what's real, this episode is about taking that red pill and seeing things for what they are. Show Notes:  [03:28]#1 Use mainstream media sparingly and as entertainment, never as the main course. [09:04]#2 Depend on and trust the government for absolutely nothing. [16:03]#3 Be wary of the educational system.  [20:08]Recap Next Steps ---

Most people spend their lives chasing small problems and getting small rewards. That's like a lion hunting mice — the effort isn't worth the payoff.  In this episode, I'm talking about moonshot thinking and why you need it. Moonshot thinking is about aiming at bigger targets, giving yourself the chance to win big, even if it's harder. This is about possibility, stretching yourself, and asking the kind of questions that can change your whole situation. Show Notes:  [05:08]#1  Moonshot is about what is one thing you could do or start working on that would change the entire trajectory of your situation.  [10:44]#2 Why do you need this? [13:14]#3 Why do most people never do this? [18:33]Recap Next Steps ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down batching — what it is, why it matters, and how you can start doing it. Batching simply means grouping tasks and knocking them out all at once instead of spreading them out day by day.  I'll share how I use batching to stay 50 episodes ahead on this show, and how you can use it for things like content, emails, or any repeat task in your life. Not everything can be batched, but the things that can will save you time, energy, and stress. Show Notes:  [05:48]#1 You want to do things in bulk, all at once. [08:44]#2 The value of batching and doing it all at once is that mentally you're already focused on doing that thing.  [18:23]#3 Pick one thing and block off time to batch that thing.  [22:43]Recap Next Steps ---

For some of you, it'll be a problem if you move too slow or sit around doing nothing. But for others, it'll be a huge opportunity. In this episode, I'm talking about the scary future of AI. I'll break down what's really happening with AI, how it's already in your life even if you don't notice it, and what you need to do so this future works for you instead of against you. Show Notes:  [02:43]#1 Most people don't think, don't read, and they're lazy.   [07:40]#2 AI is making it easier for people to be this type of person - who does not think, does not read and they're lazy.  [13:44]#3 The big future opportunity of AI is being a person who thinks, reads and gives effort.  [17:45]Recap Next Steps ---

Knowledge is about adding more, but wisdom is about subtracting what doesn't matter. Yesterday we talked about editing, and today I'm doubling down by showing you how high-level decision makers cut through noise and focus only on what really moves the needle. If you want to rise above distractions and get to the next level, this is the mindset shift you need. Show Notes:  [02:02]#1 Knowledge is about adding on more.  [09:06]#2  Knowledge fills your head while Wisdom clears your path.

In this class, I'm talking about the essence of editing and why it matters for success. Editing isn't just about books or writing, it's about cutting out what doesn't fit so only the best remains.  I'll share how I use editing in my own writing process and how you can apply the same idea to your mindset, your habits, and even your relationships. Success is not about adding more, it's about knowing what to cut. Show Notes:  [04:37]#1 When you edit, you are creating clarity and addition by deletion. [10:46]#2 You get to do more effectively by needing and using less.  [17:36]#3 The point of doing or saying anything is to achieve the desired outcome.  [22:04]Recap Next Steps ---

In this episode, Patrick Francey sits down with Dre Baldwin to explore what it really takes to command a room, win consistently, and translate athletic rigor into business results. Dre opens by defining presence as an energetic signal people feel before they know your resume. It is not height, clothing, or a pasted-on smile. Presence is the outward expression of inner order built from discipline, structure, strategy, execution, and confidence. Patrick shares a story about receiving feedback that his natural intensity could feel intimidating. By loosening his look and adding a conscious smile, he noticed people approached him more easily. Dre explains that strong presence creates productive tension. You can dial that tension up or down, but easing it too much can reduce your impact. Dre draws on sports to explain why presence cannot be faked. In basketball, the scoreboard is objective. Talent gets you in the door, but disciplined habits keep you there. The pros and the “plumbers” both know thousands want their spot, so work ethic matters most on the days you do not feel like showing up. That same logic applies in business. Leaders with true presence raise standards without speeches. Their very arrival makes others sit up, focus, and perform. Mindset is the first lever. Dre uses the BE → DO → HAVE model. You become the person, then you do the work, and only then do you have the results. Because most thoughts are subconscious, you must reprogram the mind through repetition, immersion, and emotional intensity. Practical cues like posture, eye contact, and putting your phone away can spark a quick confidence reset, but lasting presence comes from living your structure daily. Dre also addresses life after sport. He intentionally planned his transition rather than defaulting to coaching or training. The concept of “credibility fusion” allows you to carry forward lessons from different arenas and combine them into a coherent value proposition. He closes with his GAME model for achievement: define what winning looks like, build the skills and tools, install structure that produces discipline, let discipline create consistency, let consistency build confidence, and let confidence power performance and results. Patrick wraps by highlighting the episode's central insight: presence is a way of being that anyone can build through disciplined execution and a trained mind.

In this episode, I'm breaking down where the world is really going and what you need to do about it. Some of you may not like it, some may not agree — but it's happening whether you want it to or not. I'll share the truth about the future, why ignoring it won't help you, and the adjustments you need to make to be ready. I also touch on voices like Andrew Tate, not to co-sign everything, but to point out where he's been accurate about what's coming. Show Notes:  [03:11]#1 Power will continue to be consolidated amongst the elite few.  [09:18]#2 Masculinity continues to be attacked while at the same time it is fighting back.

Becoming inevitable doesn't happen by chance, it's a conscious decision, and today I'm giving you the format. In this episode, I'm talking about how to be inevitable. I break down the difference between someone who just hopes to succeed and someone you know is certain to win, it's only a matter of how and when. I'll show you what being inevitable looks like, how it feels, and the choices you have to make to step into it yourself.  Show Notes:  [02:07]#1 Decide the outcome before you begin.  [07:06]#2 Your habits should be stronger than your emotions. [12:17]#3 Master repetition and build proof.  [24:04]Recap Next Steps: ---

Stillness is a system. In this episode, I break down how to dominate through emotional containment and why real power comes from channeling your emotions, not hiding them or faking hype. A lot of people think being calm or stoic means you're missing something, but I argue it's actually a winning strategy. I'll show you how to take any emotion you feel and turn that energy into productive action based on your standards, systems, and goals. Show Notes:  [04:08]#1 Stillness is about control, not about silence.  [09:34]#2 Stillness triggers discomfort in the weak.  [17:16]#3 Stillness is not a mood or emotion, it is built in a way of being, it's a system.  [19:14]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2745: Your Mental & Emotional Immune Systems 2839: Why You WANT To Be Emotional 2853: The Emotional Challenge Of Success 1781: How To Emotionally "Detach" And Still Produce Results 560: You're In The Emotional Management Business 1294: How To Be The "Lion For A Day" Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down the confidence loop. Everybody wants more confidence, no matter who they are—athletes, business people, or even retirees. I'll walk you through the process of how confidence actually works, why it matters, and how each piece connects to the next. When you put this into motion, it becomes a cycle that keeps building on itself. This is how you create real, lasting confidence.Let's get to it.  Show Notes:  [01:52]#1 Discipline. [07:25]#2 Execution. [14:01]#3 Proof. [19:02]#4 Presence. [24:04]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1925: Do Your Homework! Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about the quiet power of precision. When you're truly sharp and exact at what you do, you don't need to make noise or announce yourself your work speaks louder than anything you could say. Precision is dominance without the extra flash, because people will see it, feel it, and talk about it for you. The question is, do you want to be the one telling the world how good you are, or do you want the world to be the one telling you? Show Notes:  [02:36]#1 Noise is the hallmark of the insecure. [14:17]#2 Precision is about knowing exactly where to strike and striking only in that spot. [20:41]#3 Precision is more intimidating than aggression.  [24:40]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down decision fatigue and why it should never even happen. Most people get tired of making too many choices, but that's only because they don't have the right structure in place. Your brain gets tired just like your body does, but the solution is to set things up so you don't have to keep deciding over and over. I'll share how to reframe this whole idea and give you preemptive solutions so you never hit that wall of decision fatigue again. Show Notes:  [02:09]#1 Decision fatigue is a symptom of poor decision systems. [15:50]#2 High performers don't have to make a ton of decisions.  [21:12]#3 Fatigue is a byproduct of friction, not a byproduct of effort. [26:17]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about how systems force progress. A lot of people want growth, but the problem is most rely only on willpower. What I'm sharing here is how setting up the right systems and structures makes success automatic; you don't even have to think about it. When you put a system in place and actually use it, it removes the chance of staying stuck and forces you to keep moving forward. This is how you make progress inevitable. Show Notes:  [02:05]#1 Systems replace motivation.  [07:30]#2 Systems turn success into a process.  [16:13]#3 Systems eliminate drift and guarantee progress.  [18:38]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down self discipline versus system discipline. Discipline is the foundation of success and the mark of any true professional—you've heard me say this hundreds of times.  A system's discipline will always beat a person's discipline, because systems don't need rest, food, or breaks like people do. I'll explain the difference, why systems outlast individuals, and how this matters for your success at the professional level. Show Notes:  [02:03]#1 Being self discipline is an internal trait. [07:16]#2 Self discipline requires energy.  [16:29]#3 Self discipline is personal system discipline is scalable.  [21:15]Recap Next Steps: ---

Raw grit alone will never beat a system. I've always told you discipline, effort, and showing up matter but if you don't put that inside the right system, you're just burning energy. Too many people buy into hustle culture, thinking effort by itself equals success. The truth is, grit and energy have value, but a solid system will always win. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you need both, and why the system is the real game changer. Show Notes:  [02:45]#1 Grit eventually burns out. [10:31]#2 Grit, tries to swim against the currents of chaos.  [15:32]#3 Grit is personal, as is talent, as is willpower as his hard work. [19:54]Recap Next Steps: ---

Discipline is the foundation of everything I teach, and it's the #1 trait I point to when people ask me what creates success. But here's the truth: being disciplined alone won't guarantee the outcome you want. A lot of disciplined people still lose because they use it the wrong way. In this episode, I break down how discipline can backfire, the traps you need to avoid, and what it really takes to make your discipline work for you instead of against you.

A lot of people are busy, working hard, trying new things but not actually making progress. That's what I call failure hustling. It's when you use “I'm busy” or “I work hard” as a cover for the fact that nothing's really moving forward. In this episode, I break down what failure hustling looks like, how to know if you're doing it, and most importantly what to do about it. Show Notes:  [02:07]#1 You are always grinding but never growing. [07:47]#2 Your hustle is an identity rather than a strategy.   [17:38]#3 You must outgrow hustling.

Dominance is not about personality it's about systems. A lot of people want to dominate in their space, to be the best and number one at what they do. But the key is understanding that dominance comes from consistent behaviors, not just who you are or how you act in the moment. In this episode, I break down the difference between personality and system, and why getting this distinction right is what will actually put you in that dominant position. Show Notes:  [01:54]#1 Dominance is repeatable.  [07:21]#2 Systems create consistency.  [11:29]#3 Presence as a systematic byproduct.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between just trying hard and actually taking over. Effort matters—you can't win without it—but there are levels to this game. The truth is, no matter how hard you work, someone out there can work harder, so you need more than hustle. I'll show you the strategy to go beyond effort and become the dominant player in your space. Show Notes:  [01:19]#1 You have to stop hoping and start deciding. [07:43]#2 You have to shift from output to ownership. [14:05]#3  You have to raise your standards.  [18:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs Next Steps: ---

Hustle culture has been lying to you. I've hustled more than most, so I'm not against hard work, but the way hustle gets sold is all wrong. They make it seem like the only reason someone is successful is because they just outworked everybody else, and that's simply not true. Yes, hustle and effort matter, but success is not an effort-based game it's a results-based game. In this episode, I break down the lies of hustle culture and why hard work alone will never be the thing that separates you. Show Notes:  [06:45]#1 More power equals less sleep.  [17:43]#2 More effort is required for more results.  [24:36]#3 You win by working harder than everybody else.  [26:30]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1881: A Vaccine For Hustle Porn 1767: Secret Ways For Hustlers To Cure "More Work" Syndrome 1314: Hustle: Learning To Play The "Game" 794: Hustle Is A Choice 736: How To Hustle Without Being "Thirsty" 621: Always Have Multiple Hustles Going 2599: How To Turn Your Side Hustle Into Your Main Hustle 734: Keep All Your Opinions Flexible Next Steps: ---

Location is everything. Just like in real estate, the spot matters more than the house itself, and the same rule applies in business and marketing. You can have the best product or service, but if it's in the wrong place, it won't win. On the other hand, something not-so-perfect in the right spot can outperform. In this episode, I break down why location is the number one rule and how it applies to your success. Show Notes:  [01:15]#1 A big piece of marketing is about how and where you show up.   [09:19]#2 Show up where you can stand up.  [17:47]#3 Branding. [21:25]Reca Next Steps: ---

In this episode I share how I came to lean into systematized discipline, what it is, where it came from, and why I'm the one talking about it. Before I ever had a brand or business, I was already living this even before I could put a name on it. Now I'm giving it to you with a clear explanation and a label so there's no confusion. The goal isn't just to understand it, but to use it, apply it, and get real results. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [02:12]#1 This was baked into me from my childhood.  [09:51]#2 Personal necessity.  [28:08]#3 Professional strategy.  [37:25]#4 The system separation system.  [41:13]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3300: Why I Am Not - And WIll Never Be - A "Content Creator" Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm explaining why seduction is more than just a dating thing, it's a business skill. Seduction can also be applied to any area where you want to pull people into your world. Whether you're selling, leading, or building a brand, your ability to attract attention and interest is key. I'll break down why this matters for your career and business, and how to use it to your advantage. Show Notes:  [01:48]#1 Every sale is a courtship.  [08:53]#2 People buy energy more than they buy products.  [15:24]#3 The best closers in the sales world never have to actually close.  [20:40]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3045: Always Be The Buyer 1925: Do Your Homework! 2956: The Different Ways To "Do Your Homework" [Part 1 of 3] Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down how extremity becomes identity. When you live at the very edge of your craft, you stand apart from the dabblers who only do it halfway. I share how, back in my basketball days, players admired Kobe Bryant's extreme work ethic even though most couldn't match it. To make something part of your identity, you don't have to be the only one doing it, you just have to take it further than anyone else. I'll explain how to push to that level so your extreme becomes who you are. Show Notes:  [03:07]#1 Things you do at the extreme are how people come to define you.  [10:47]#2 Repetition at the edges forces recognition.  [17:54]#3  Extremity creates separation.  [25:28]Recap Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm talking about how to filter out what needs to be eliminated from your calendar. Time is your most valuable resource, yet many people treat it like it's unlimited. As a professional, every minute should be moving you forward making money, serving people, or improving your position. The goal isn't to add more to your plate but to remove the stuff that's wasting your time. I'll show you how to cut out the clutter so your calendar only holds what truly matters. Show Notes:  [02:24]#1 Good ideas that are not priorities. [07:50]#2 Recurring does not equal required.  [11:58]#3 Delegate what can be delegated.

Being “nice” is not the goal and if you're just trying to be nice, you're lying. You're putting on a fake version of yourself to make people like you. I've said it many times: being important matters way more than being nice. This is a results game, not a nice person contest. Get important first then you can choose to be nice if you want. Show Notes:  [01:40]#1 Being “nice” is a costume.  [09:36]#2 Nice people rather be comfortable than to get to what's real.  [18:26]#3 Nice people cannot be trusted as leaders in any type of relationship.
