The Jungle Series: Rule #3: Anticipate and Plan Everything
Nov 29, 2019
The importance of planning and anticipating cannot be overlooked. It's not enough to set goals and face reality; you must be able to design plans that help you move quickly and efficiently towards what you want.
 
In this episode, I share with you a powerful and practical 5-step plan to get what you want, based on the wisdom and philosophy of billionaire Ray Dalio.

(12:32) Next step: Ask yourself the following questions... "How realistic is your plan right now?"
The Jungle Series: Rule #2: Boldly Face Reality
Nov 28, 2019
If you want to set aggressive goals the only way to make things happen is to- immediately after setting the goal- FACE REALITY.
 
Part of the reality is that you aren't nearly as talented, prepared, or skilled enough to reach your goals. And if this reality makes you run for the hills, you don't belong in the jungle.
 
In this episode, I show you how to more fearlessly face your reality so that you can accomplish goals systematically, and certainly.
 
Time Stamps:
(1:22) Welcome back to the Jungle Series!
(4:14) RULE #2: Boldly face reality.

(14:11) Next step: Ask yourself the tough questions.
(15:40) Next step: Evaluate things consistently and systematically.
The Jungle Series: Rule #1: Set Aggressive Outcomes Without Limits
Nov 27, 2019
So many people limit themselves. They set their goals too small and reasonable... why go after something when you could fail, embarrass yourself, and fall flat on your face?
 
This is the code of someone in the Zoo, not the Jungle. In this episode, I show you the first rule, which is about setting big goals, and operating under no limits. By doing this, you not only set yourself up for next level results, but you evolve and grow so much in the process that living by this law becomes a no-brainer.
 
Time Stamps:
(1:22) Make sure you listen to part one of the "Jungle Series"
(3:00) Your mindset is the most in your control
(4:48) Find yourself that power circle
(7:00) Create what you want.
(8:32) RULE #1: Setting (and claiming) aggressive outcomes, without limits
(14:05) Reality: No one knows the future
(15:16) Reality: Small goals aren't guaranteed
(15:54) Reality: Is "harder" work always the answer?
(17:18) Don't let fear prohibit your journey
(18:34) The logical breakdown: "What you doing today?"
(21:41) The logical breakdown: "What happens when you fail?"
(22:56) The logical breakdown: "Why not set that big goal?"
(29:14) What is it that you are actually going after?
The Jungle Series: I'm Yo Daddy Now
Nov 26, 2019
In the first episode of this podcast series, I break down what it means to be in the jungle, why victimhood will be the death of you, and the reason why I am the way that I am...
 
It's important to understand the motivation behind the I'm Not You movement, because it will be challenging to create the level of results you want, to become a level of great you've always aspired to be. The Jungle can be harsh, and that's why I must teach you in the way that I do.
 
Enjoy.

(1:22) Oh you gave up, huh?
(3:34) Victims.

(24:10) How I was a victim in my childhood.
(37:17) "Im yo daddy now"
(40:19) Adopt this new mindset of control
(47:08) What to expect over the course of these next episodes...
 
Mental Reps Mixtape, Vol. 3
Nov 22, 2019
Belief is everything....and leads to every result you accomplish (or DON'T accomplish).
 
The problem is that most of us approach belief passively, and with no plan. We need to build belief with same level of intensity, intention and consistency as we do with our physical body.
 
This is why I created Mental Reps. It is one of the most powerful, effective and fun ways to build belief, increase confidence and reach your goals with more speed and efficiency.
 
This is the 3rd mixtape installment of Mental Reps, and it will have you floating and feeling like you can take over the world.
 
Use this daily, before workouts, in the morning while you get ready, or before games.
 
This is explicit, so those of you with sensitive ears, you would be wise to skip this episode.

How to cleanse yourself of victimhood
