DIPSET!! Today’s books and bars episode features Juelz Santana’s “Days of Our Lives” track. As an athlete at Oregon State University, I’d relate to Juelz’ hustle-mode as depicted in the song; to my efforts on the field and in the gym. Patience is a virtue man. Keep working; you’ll get to where you need to be.

As we wrap up Kobe’s Film Room series, today we examine the importance of curiosity. The Black Mamba was a true student to the game of basketball, with an unbeatable desire to learn EVERYTHING he could. Even if it took a few cold calls here and there, Kobe followed through… What does this mean for you? How will you interpret this past week’s deep dive into Mr. Bryant’s mind? Will you soak it in and do nothing, or will you adopt this mentality? The choice is yours. Time Stamps: (2:21) Part 3 of the FILM ROOM! (4:37) A brief review of parts 1 of 2 (5:48) CURIOSITY.

Welcome back to the Film Room… Today’s focus is on Kobe’s commitment to the game. He knew handouts didn’t exist.

Your ability to accept the hardships and painful realities of life, is an important skill that you must implement. Don’t adopt the mindset that life is hard, and that’s “the way it is”... Accept, then move strategically. Powerful stuff… Today’s pages are straight out of The Dalai Lama’s, “Beyond Religion”, on page 37 of chapter 10. Hit the link below to grab your copy!

Today’s bar is from New Orleans’ own, Curren$y. This particular track “Example” from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don’t hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta “shook the dice and rolled,” he also took that step when others would “stay shook and froze”. So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters.

Stop and ask yourself, “are you doing as well as you can in every aspect of your life?” If we are being honest with ourselves, the answer is no.

In this episode I give you a raw, emotional example from my life that made me stop and reexamine a particular aspect in my life and I give you 4 actionable steps you can take to ruthlessly weed out these flaws and improve on them.    Time Stamps: (1:22) Intro and new website launch.

At the time when Nipsey Hussle’s “Mailbox Money” tape came out in 2015, IMNOTYOU was just the beginning. I listened to the first track, “Killa”, and it gave me an urge to push my brand to a whole nother level. A couple years later, and I’m “tightroping” at an insane height, but I ain’t concerned with looking down. BARS.

Over the course of the next three episodes, we’re gonna knock the unnecessary habits that distract you from getting things done. I’m here to teach you TIME DOMINATION, based off of my own life experiences. If there’s improvements to be made, why aren’t you acting upon them? Remember, I’m here to coach you up and get your wheels rolling, so expect to hear the necessary language. Sound good?
