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

There's a lot of "truth" you hear on social media that is entirely misunderstood and can get you into a lot of trouble. Mainly, frustrated results and ineffective action.

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

Habits CAN be hard to create. But all of the impractical, vague advice we get about habits is usually to blame for that. So how do you actually create habits that stick and that last in any environment? Let me share my experience and advice. (1:22) Welcome back to the Sports Motivation Podcast (3:30) Habits (5:59) The 10,000 hour rule (8:15) Decide you really need to do this habit/get sold (9:56) Examine your current reality (11:34) Diagnose the cause of the bad habit (12:45) Create a plan to replace a habit (15:01) Visualize your habit going perfectly (16:50) Craft with someone who's practical (18:29) Review the results (20:26) Acknowledge wins (22:53) Focus more on building the new habit (24:24) The "p" habit (27:26) OREOS (28:27) An excerpt from "The Way of the Superior Man" (31:31) www.imnotyou.com/KI

Young M.A is one of my favorite rappers, and one of the reasons is because of her potent and dangerously-practical bars. In this episode of #BooksandBars, she describes exactly what she did in order to get to the MONEY, and what you should do if you want to be and do more than what you were yesterday, and be a real heavy hitter.

You've been holding onto this "vision" for so long, yet you keep seeing the same results over and over. What's worse is that you seem to "know" you need to change, but you're taking no action. In this episode, I show you how you can take that vision and make that into a real standard....how to make your current standard old news, and to keep growing. I lay out the details in a how-to format, covering key points like... what to do when you come across obstacles, and the reality of what it looks like to actually create new standards in wealth, skill, health, and relationships.

Now more than ever, there is an abundance of "aspiring" pro athletes and "Millionaire" business leaders. And it's getting harder and harder to tell who is for real and who is faking it all. In this episode, I detail the signs that I have witnessed from athletes and entrepreneurs that show me that they are kidding themselves - and the closest thing they will get to a professional, is when they sit court side at a laker game. Don't let this be you. The first step is awareness, so take notes, and listen at the end for your solution to this problem. (1:22) Were you raised with high-standards?

So you want to be "world class"....but what then? What if no one knows who you are? In order to be at the top, especially in today's digital climate, you must be a master at marketing yourself. Business, sports, leadership....you must know how to position yourself as an expert, and someone that people should follow. In this episode I put you up on 2 of the most game changing books I have read on marketing that have lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit. "22 Immutable Laws of Marketing", and "Positioning", by Al Ries and Jack Trout

It's easy to be dependent...don't you sometimes wish you could be in the safety and warmth of your mother's bosom.....ahhhh, how safe... This craving is why there are so many 'zombies' and 'minions' in the world. This CAN'T be you. You must be a part of the 2%, and in this episode of "Books and Bars" Big K.R.I.T. lays out the simplicity of this philosophy. And this track, "KRIT HERE" goes HARD. #BARS

It's easy to be motivated at the beginning of a goal or when things are going well...but what happens when resistance sets in and you lose your drive? What happens when your teammates aren't as motivated as you and it starts to weigh on you? In this episode, I break down how to attack that problem, get to the root cause, and get back on your grind. Because that's what needs to happen. (1:22) Welcome back to the Sports Motivation Podcast!

Your only hope to separate yourself from the masses and become successful in the way you know you can is to become FEARLESS. Problem is, most people are not and most don't know what that even means.

How healthy are you? How much money do you invest in being "healthy"? Sometimes it can be tough to afford all of the things that we need to be healthy, and that can intimidate you from buying something you feel you should have. In this episode, I share with you a powerful resource (and mindset) that will make you healthier and lead to growth in all areas. #UpOnGame

Most leaders are scared and timid, especially when they get doubt from their peers... "What are we going to do? What if it doesn't work out?" True leaders have a way of building certainty and confidence, regardless of the circumstances, and then get others to buy in. In this episode, I break down a bar from a J. Cole freestyle, that illustrates this mentality perfectly. #BARS

Affirmations are a powerful mental conditioning tool that can help you overcome negative emotions and establish a new identify. The problem is, most people don't know how to use affirmations; either they are unsure of what to say, or they don't use it with enough repetition because it's boring. In the first G-Code mixtape, you can listen to all of the G-Code affirmation tracks back-to-back, and immerse yourself in powerful, confidence-building ideas and beliefs.

"How you do anything is how you do everything".... in this episode, I make the case for why you need to prioritize cleanliness, as well as keeping yourself in order. It's often overlooked, but I have found that it has a powerful effect on your attitude and emotions on a day-to-day. Listen for how to implement this. #UpOnGame

In any industry, especially with the speed of the INTERNET, time flies, and being relevant can last a lot shorter than you'd like. Your windows of opportunity are not as big as you think, and the need for speed is critical. People are coming for you....the competition is hungry. This becomes a problem for the people who are so convinced they need to be "patient". In this episode, I argue against that, and use the powerful verse from Dreamville's Bas, in "Down Bad", to back me up. Move faster. #BARS

"The heaviest tanks always move the slowest".....the message of patience and diligence is what rapper Rick Ross is preaching in today's episode, and the practicality of this message is relevant for any high performer.

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.

Anytime we see the success we crave, we begin to think that it happened overnight, and this can lead to chronic feeling of frustration, and even envy. In this episode, I share with you a clip from a J. Cole concert, where he takes a short break in order to drop some wisdom on the crowd. He helps to put things into perspective, and shows why he is also one of the wisest and smartest emcees in the game. #BARS

You are in a game 7 scenario...results are on the line. You have prepared as much as you can, now it's time to perform and create the success you've wanted.

You must let go of these paralyzing emotions and take on a fearless game 7 mentality that is true in all of the greats.

Malcolm X was known for his fearlessness and bold mentality, and is someone who absolutely embodies the I'm Not You spirit. While he is no longer here with us physically, his words remain just as relevant today as they were in the 60's, and they have an even broader appeal. Listen and see if you can take the Malcolm X approach to your goals, society's pressure, and your old tired mindsets. #BARS

How far away does your goal feel like? To go after "Ambitious goals", this means you have to deal with the pain that comes from being "far away". This leads to feelings of apathy, failure, and lack of urgency. This can also breed a feeling of "who cares….will I ever make it?" Any goal worth having takes time. Listen and let these affirmations bleed into your subconscious and create feelings of confidence and control.

In this debut mental conditioning series, I show you how to design your new dominant mindset by challenging negative beliefs with strategic and tactical affirmations. What happens when you set a goal, only to fall short again and again? What feelings show up for you? If you're not careful, you will develop feelings of failure and disappointment, and this will lead to more of the same. We must learn how to take control of our own minds, and condition the right emotions. I walk you through how to create your own "G-Code" -your mindset - in a way that feels good. Enjoy, and use this tool over and over in order to condition your mind. Take this tool seriously; as it is wildly effective. You will enjoy how you feel afterwards.

It's easier to hear advice about how to "be the best" from someone who isn't that....but what about when you hear it from someone who is the best? In this episode, I break down a clip from a Draymond Green interview where he explicitly breaks down his mentality towards being "great", which has become somewhat of a cliche....but Draymond removes the vagueness and highlights what he truly believes. #InterviewBars

There's this idea going around that you can't accomplish more than one "big" goal at a time, and you need to focus on only one area of life at a time. Hmmmmmm. My experience says otherwise, and in this episode, I want to show you how to go about making big things happen in more than one area of your life, at the same time.

Your relationship with God is supposed to empower, embolden and clarify your life....yet so many people seem to be more confused, less confident, and even castrated by the ideas and unwritten guidelines that their religion imposes.
