The human brain is wired to overvalue the opinions of our peers....it served us back when were roaming the African savanna, but it doesn't serve us as much now. That feeling you get when your friends talk mess about you, when your parents disapprove, or when you miss a shot in a game...That feeling paralyzes many and prevents them from taking risks or doing what is necessary. You cannot be a victim to this disease, you have to learn how to overcome the fear of others opinions...but how? How can you practically and systematically build immunity to what stops so many others? In this episode, I show you how I approach this problem.     210 Time Stamps:     (1:21) Welcome to the Sports Motivation Podcast (1:31) Training on how to care less what others think (2:58) Name one high performer who wasn’t motivated (4:00) Michael Moss: Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us (4:12) Ray Dalio: Principles (4:33) Higher versus lower self (7:36) We all have the same needs and fears (8:23) Step 1- Learn how to breathe

Although you cannot always relate to the problems of these big name celebrities and superstars, a lot of times it's really easy to see how mentally weak some of them are and how much help they need in terms of developing a more dominate mindset and bulletproof confidence and certainty. I've done something very different in this episode, and I am sure it will rub some of you the wrong way. What I've done is taken Kendall Jenner, and broken down my strategy of how I would work with her if given a chance. I got the chance to see some of her mental weaknesses, and I know how these weaknesses will affect her if not addressed. How many "celebrities" have we seen meltdown and flame out after controversies or adversity? In the episode, I talk directly to Kendall, and give her a few doses of reality along with my prescribed course of action to help her take the game over and be mentally unstoppable. I'll be doing these celebrity reality checks on more athletes and celebrities as they expose their weaknesses to the gen

As you move more aggressively towards becoming the best, you'll have people who you trust and love start to take you for a joke...maybe they question you, maybe they laugh or mock your goals and visions...Maybe you're even trying to take a friend along with you towards greatness but they don't seem to be responding the way you want. How do you handle that? How do you stay focused even when they aren't taking you serious? How do you ignore that? In today's episode, I break down a simple formula and mindset that will help you to overcome that challenge.   208 Time Stamps: (1:30) Where are you at with your goals?

Being a leader is one of those cliches, that everyone says they want to be, but no one really knows how to do. It's an art and it's simple and complex at the same time. I break down the legendary Peter Drucker in this classic book and give you my take on it.

What are the REAL reasons that you want to accomplish your goals? What are the deepest dark motivators that you don't tell anyone? It's about time you come to terms with them so you can finally become the version of yourself you are destined to be. The only way to do that is by owning who you are unapologetically. This is what Floyd does brilliantly. Listen to this episode to find out his mindset towards women, vegas and strip clubs, and why I believe that is what makes him undefeated and TBE.

Are you playing chess or checkers? Do you just take action, or is your action calculated and strategic? It's part 2, and in this episode I show you how Mayweather is 50-0 because he planned it that way and he planned it like a war general plans to win war. It's complex. I show you in this episode how to apply Floyd's mindset to be a better planner, more calculated and reach results faster without half the frustration.  Episode 205 Time Stamps: (2:30) - Welcome back to the Film Room Series!

When studying and analyzing the legendary Floyd Mayweather, one of his core principles and traits is what I call CERTAINTY. It's like confidence on steroids... It's about KNOWING from your core that you're the best. But how did he create this characteristic? And is this a quality that anyone can adopt, or is he just a cocky guy who was born that way? I show you how and why he's so certain, and how you can be the same way. Episode 204 Time Stamps: (2:30) Welcome back to the Film Room Series!
