Today I introduce you to a rising star, both in his sport and on the microphone. Ivory Frimpong is a collegiate athlete, aspiring pro football player as well as host of his own podcast and leader of a new movement. The movement is called "Think Gold", and it's all about inspiring and teaching this young generation of ambitious youth to value mindset and be leaders.   I had the privilege of being on his show, and this is part 2 of the interview.

In any industry, sport, or business, there are always invisible standards, rules and values. And what's true is that very often these values are not the same as your own.   What we usually see is people who make it to a level of success, yet end up sacrificing what they really want and who they really are. They allow themselves to be a victim of their environment.   Jay Electronica is not one of those people, and he explains how and why, on his new album "A Written Testimony". #Bars

In this episode, I share with you an exclusive live masterclass I hosted on Zoom (on April 28th), detailing my philosophy on mental toughness, and how to practically build more of it.

You're a leader, but its hard to get those who you serve to really buy-in and get down with the plan.

In this episode, I share the very framework of the meeting that my wife and I have every week. It serves the purpose of clarifying our goals and objectives, unifying our energy, and enlisting the support of one another.   Begin implementing this framework asap if you want to align with your spouse on an entirely different level, and take your relationship to new heights. #UpOnGame   [email protected]

As hungry and motivated as you think you are, those around you can be uninspiring, lazy and not willing to attack. This is most likely frustrating to you - it will, and can, cause you to spend too much time complaining and whining about how nobody is as hungry as you.   In Dave East's new song 'Handsome", he explains a different philosophy. The mindset of going out to get it, by yourself, regardless of who's with you. Take a listen. #BARS

Waking up early sounds simple enough, but for anyone who has tried to make a habit of getting up when it's dark outside, it's much easier said than done.   In this episode, I break down the mindset and philosophy behind the early riser, as well as the practical approach to developing a habit that really sticks.   Time Stamps: (1:22) What today’s episode is all about (3:35) Misconceptions about early risers (6:00) Step 1: Your morning “equation” (7:18) Your enemy = mental softness (8:33) Physical and mental factors that will affect your sleep (11:32) Check your sources (15:59) Consider what your goal is (16:35) Valuing sleep, more than other things that are just as important (18:30) KEY: Decide that you MUST get up early (20:05) KEY: Through failures, keep holding the standard (22:09) KEY: Once it’s a habit, double down (23:06) Practical tips to help you get up early (26:16) Remember your reasons for getting up early.

Success won't always do for you what you thought it would. Sometimes you will win, yet you'll feel more lost, depressed, and uncertain. How do you handle these emotions? What does this mean? How can we get ourselves to feel good, no matter the wins or losses? Listen into today's episode, where I break this down in a special feature from a Killer Instinct Q+A call.   Imnotyou.com/KI

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.   (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code (0:55) Introduction to "Control" (2:03) Hypnosis Track (6:45) "Control" Affirmation Track (13:18) Killer Instinct     Want to wo

It can be difficult to accumulate a few wins, without starting to "eat the cheese"...This means feeling complacent, and letting your foot off the gas so you can feel "comfortable". This is dangerous, and in this episode, I break down how to consistently win, and still feel hungry and motivated.    Imnotyou.com/KI

Isn't it nice to be acknowledged for your growth? To be told “Good job”....”I’m proud of you”.   Unfortunately, these things don’t get the results. Your work does. In this episode, Dave East lectures us on the importance of getting to the work, no matter what you hear or don't hear. #BARS

In this episode I break down an excerpt from a classic book by Sun Tzu, "The Art of War". Too many of us try to go for the “Kill”, when we should be taking advantage of each win, particularly the easy wins. Doing this ensures momentum; and with momentum, we become unstoppable. #BARS
