You and I are plagued with the same disease.....no matter how hard we work, how much we accomplish, there is still a nagging feeling of "I gotta do more".   This is not necessarily a bad thing, but when it causes you to be so hard on yourself that you don't give yourself encouragement, props, and kudos, it begins to eat away at your confidence.   You need to learn how to give yourself the right amount of praise without negatively impacting your hunger and drive. In this episode, I break down why.     Time Stamps:   (1:22) Are you this type of person? Do you have this mindset?   (6:28) New mindset: "I am a BEAST"   (7:04) New mindset: "I love results"   (7:21) New mindset: "My hunger always remains"   (7:46) New mindset: "I'll never fully satisfied off a win"   (8:12) New mindset: "Comfort should come from knowing I am a killa"   (8:42) New mindset: "Failure is an illusion"   (9:14) New mindset: "When I fail to hit a result, I am still worthy"   (9:35) New mindset: "The more I hunt, the more I kill"   (10:10)

One of the easiest ways to increase your discipline is by tracking everything that matters. I used to be pretty old school- from printing, to all types of charts, and quickly I realized how overwhelming that can be...   That's why in this episode I am introducing you to an app that has absolutely changed the game for me in terms of tracking, and increasing my discipline levels. Search for the "Strides" app (and you'll see a blue logo with white lines).   #UpOnGame

In this episode, I break down one of the best intros I've ever heard on a hip hop album. This is a clip from Jeezy's new album "TM104: Legend of the Snowman"...   Most people respond to trauma and unfortunate events with a child's mentality, and grieve for too long. Jeezy shows us how to turn pain into powerful action, and instead of being debilitated by the traumata, you become MOTIVATED.   Song: "the enTRAPreneur" Artist: Jeezy (featuring Gary Vaynerchuk) Album: TM104: The Legend of the Snowman

When you decide to be the best in the world at what you do, you automatically shrink your circle. It becomes difficult to find people who relate to you, who encourage you, who challenge you to be better.   In this special edition episode, I send a special shout out to all my "Killas", including Killer Instinct Alumni and important people in my life who have been there for me.   I wanted to say thank you...I love you....and I see you. Keep huntin'. Don't stop.

From #MeToo to unequal pay in sports and the workplace, the amount of noise surrounding what it means to be Women, is loud. And depending on who you are and what you believe, the impact that all of this has on today's Women needs to be a positive one...but is it?   I've got 2 daughters, a wife, a sister, and tons of clients who are Women... I've been holding my tongue for a while, as it relates to some of the hard doses of reality that I have for them. But in today's episode, I let it go, to give Women a very detailed and practical prescription to build confidence, fearlessness, and the poise that is required to produce results in today's world. Listen up.     Time Stamps:   (1:22) My son wants to play football like me...   (2:34) If you don't have goals, don't listen to this podcast.   (4:44) The inspiration for today's episode...   (7:05) This episode is for you if you are THIS kind of female   (11:22) The sad reality about America's perception of Women   (14:04) The reality: Testosterone levels.   (16:06)

It's surprising, how many grown adults act helpless, when we live in the most prosperous time in human history, and making money is as easy as it has ever been...   In this episode, I show you a mindset and approach that was inspired by two mormon teenagers who came to my home and knocked on my door.....and they weren't trying to recruit me to their religion. Take a listen.   #UpOnGame

I hear so many excuses: "he grew up with the..." "but I didn't have this..." "he's so much more talented though..." "you got in early..." "it wasn't that easy for me..."   To those with that mentality, Juelz Santana has some words for you, and I help break it down in more detail. I want to show you how to get it, and also that, there's equal opportunity out here in the jungle.   Song: "Wherever I Go" Artist: Juelz Santana (featuring Jimmy Jones) Album: From Me To U

You've been working your tail off.....but the coach is still not showing love. You're starting to think this may be a conspiracy. "What does he have against me? This dude isn't even better than me!"   What most do is spiral out of control, and prove to the coach that the decision made was right because of your meltdown.   What I train you to do in this live call is to approach it differently, and approach it with a mindset and strategy that will make the decision to put you in the lineup a NO BRAINER.     (1:22) Blood sweat and tears... and no results?   (2:00) Don't let this situation get the best of you...   (3:38) Intro to a special clip from one of my LIVE coaching calls   (4:08) IMNOTYOU.COM/KI   (4:58) "Why am I not getting playing time?"   (5:49) The right mindset: "I'm responsible for my results"   (6:14) The right mindset: Most coaches value results over anything else.   (7:06) The right mindset: Don't blame the politics.   (8:27) The right mindset: I'm a baller, but I can improve... and no one can

Every once in awhile, a track comes along that has "books and bars" written all over it... Big Sean's "Overtime" is one of those tracks.   Listen as I break down the most potent (no doubt) powerful bars from his new track, and why one bar in particular hits me so hard personally.   #BARS   Song: "Overtime" Artist: Big Sean Album: Overtime - Single

One of the purest and most exclusive benefits of being a boss is having the ability to make moves, on your terms, when you want to....leverage.   If you don't have leverage, you have to work extra hard, with minimal room to move... That's why bosses like Nipsey and Ross speak on ownership and independence with such consistency and passion.   In this track, they both speak to what it means to be a true BOSS.   #BARS   Song: "Rich N Lifestyle" Artist: Rick Ross (featuring Nipsey Hussle & Teyana Taylor) Album: The Port of Miami 2

You're working hard, getting results...but still not seeing the "recognition" you deserve.   In this episode, I use the lyrics of Nicki Minaj and Lil Durk to show you how to keep the "Goat" confidence when the accolades aren't coming....because believe me, they will.   Song: "Slide Around" Artist: Chance the Rapper (featuring Nicki Minaj & Lil Durk) Album: The Big Day

Your vision sounds nice....but the problem is that you're starting from the bottom. You are still in the "zoo", and your dreams are in its infancy stages.   The key to making your dream a reality is having a plan. And for you, that may have to be an "escape" plan.   You have to find a way to build your vision, while you're still in an environment that feels like is holding you back.   It's tough, and that's why A$AP Rocky sends a shoutout to all of the jungle's lions. Listen as I break down this bar.   #BARS   Song: "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" Artist: A$AP Rocky (featuring Skepta) Album: TESTING

When anyone asks me the question...."What's the most powerful book you've ever read?".. I always answer the same.   "The 50th Law" by Robert Greene & 50 Cent   This book changed the way that I think, and remains a powerful tool in my mental conditioning arsenal. In this episode, I break down a sequence that highlights the importance of mastery, and how to change your relationship with boredom.   IMNOTYOU.COM/KI

In this episode, I show you the myths you hear, why they are preventing you from growing at the rate you want and what the truth is instead.     (1:22) Welcome back to the Sports Motivation Podcast!   (1:25) Are you on social media?   (2:00) Flashback story   (7:08) 3 recurring ideas on social media   (8:21) Myth #1- If you work hard, things will work out for you   (14:22) Myth #2- There’s a way to get what you want GUARANTEED   (21:23) Myth #3- You have to be positive and focus on what you want.   (26:37) Which one of these do you fall victim to?   (27:09) Ray Dalio, “Principles”

Having low energy and a lack of motivation towards your goals is not a good sign, and is certainly not a standard for high performers….So we must find a way to keep and maintain a solid and persistent feeling of motivation and excitement towards what we want. In this episode, I show you how I do that, and it's super simple. #UpOnGame
