Bars: Ball Later, Ball Now (ft. Nipsey Hussle)
EOn the road to what you ultimately desire, you will be faced with choices... Do I invest, or do I wait? Do I make a move, or do I sit still and continue to grind? It is confusing, and sometimes in our quest to be "wise" and "intelligent', we end up hoarding resources, only to further reinforce the results we don't want, and it prevents us from growing. Nipsey Hussle had a different approach. He didn't spend recklessly, without a plan... and he also didn't sit on his money, waiting for "the promised land". He had a "ball later, and ball now" mentality. In this episode, I break down his philosophy, and show you how this is relevant to you and your process. #BARS

EControl is the name of the game. One of the biggest reasons why so many lack a sense of control, as they navigate towards their ultimate visions and goals, is lack of aggression.

How to acknowledge wins without losing your hunger or competitive edge
EYou 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.

Up On Game: How to increase your discipline through TRACKING
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
Books and Bars: You think it's easy, then go ahead and try (ft. Jeezy and Gary Vee)
EIn 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.

To All My Killas, Vol. 1

I wanted to say thank you...I love you....and I see you. Keep huntin'. Don't stop.
For The Women: How to become fearless, fierce and confident

EYou'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!"

Books and Bars: Being Self-Made Gives Me So Much Leverage (ft. Rick Ross & Nipsey Hussle)

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
