DIPSET!! Today’s books and bars episode features Juelz Santana’s “Days of Our Lives” track. As an athlete at Oregon State University, I’d relate to Juelz’ hustle-mode as depicted in the song; to my efforts on the field and in the gym. Patience is a virtue man.

As we wrap up Kobe’s Film Room series, today we examine the importance of curiosity.

Will you soak it in and do nothing, or will you adopt this mentality? The choice is yours.

Today’s bar is from New Orleans’ own, Curren$y. This particular track “Example” from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don’t hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta “shook the dice and rolled,” he also took that step when others would “stay shook and froze”. So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters.

Stop and ask yourself, “are you doing as well as you can in every aspect of your life?” If we are being honest with ourselves, the answer is no. In what ways are we restricting our growth based on the fact that we refuse to look at our own faults and shortcomings dead in the face? In this episode I give you a raw, emotional example from my life that made me stop and reexamine a particular aspect in my life and I give you 4 actionable steps you can take to ruthlessly weed out these flaws and improve on them.

 

 Time Stamps:

(1:22) Intro and new website launch.

(1:38) 8 habits of the dominant athlete video series.

(5:52) Commitment consistency bias.

(8:11) The overoptimism bias.

(9:02) Where are you deluding yourself?

(9:36) My experience as a firefighter.

(12:48) The disliking/hating bias.

(15:06) You can be better.

(16:38) Step 1: You have to look for the flaws before other people do

(17:42) Step 2: Feel the pain before others make you feel it

(20:14) Step 3: Have a system for reviewing and keeping yourself in check

(21:16) Step 4: Congratulate yourself when you feel the pain

(25:44) Reality check: You’re not as good as you think you are.
