Books and Bars: Focus more, hate less (ft. Young M.A)

Jul 31, 2019

Young M.A is one of my favorite rappers, and one of the reasons is because of her potent and dangerously-practical bars.

In this episode of #BooksandBars, she describes exactly what she did in order to get to the MONEY, and what you should do if you want to be and do more than what you were yesterday, and be a real heavy hitter.

Books and Bars: Hit the ground running (ft. J. Cole)

Jul 17, 2019

Most leaders are scared and timid, especially when they get doubt from their peers... "What are we going to do? What if it doesn't work out?"

True leaders have a way of building certainty and confidence, regardless of the circumstances, and then get others to buy in. In this episode, I break down a bar from a J. Cole freestyle, that illustrates this mentality perfectly. #BARS

Books and Bars: How to move with a sense of urgency (ft. Bas of Dreamville)

Jul 10, 2019

In any industry, especially with the speed of the INTERNET, time flies, and being relevant can last a lot shorter than you'd like. Your windows of opportunity are not as big as you think, and the need for speed is critical. People are coming for you....the competition is hungry.

This becomes a problem for the people who are so convinced they need to be "patient". In this episode, I argue against that, and use the powerful verse from Dreamville's Bas, in "Down Bad", to back me up. Move faster. #BARS

G-Code: Control

Jul 2, 2019

You've boldly taken on so much...you're a leader, responsible for results, and a true lion in the jungle. You’ve given up the security so many crave so that you can be truly free...the problem is that right now, you are overwhelmed with the amount of things that are simply outside of your control. People, circumstances, changes...it makes you feel hopeless and helpless, and these feelings are leading you to turn to vices, procrastinate, and even shirk your responsibilities.

Your challenge is giving up the childish need to control the wrong things, and instead focus on complete self mastery... the ultimate high and feeling of control that is elusive to so many. You must take real control, and condition these feelings until every cell of your body stands at attention to you... your body is a slave to your mind, and your mind becomes the fearless captain.
