“This is not just about expanding our life span, but our healthspan. The truth is, right now in our culture, we’re not necessarily living longer, we’re dying longer. We’re kind of just living our way to the finish line when we have so many incredible examples of what’s possible with people thriving.” Bestselling Author and Health Guru, Shawn Stevenson, is back again dropping health nuggets that are meant to transform the way you think about your diet, your fitness level, and your overall health. Thriving in life and being successful is more than just your business or your career. You can’t execute to your greatest potential if you’re sick, unhealthy, and tired.

"Don't get mad at me because I want to be my best every time I get on the court and you don't. Don't make me the villain because I wanna win and you don't want to win." In life, are you inconsistent in your execution and excellence? Do you allow the environment to determine your energy? In today's episode, the guys are breaking down the importance of being internally motivated to be successful. The difference between the good and the great is that the good need something to get them going, but the greats produce it internally.

Commitment, organization, and discipline are extremely important in your personal and professional growth.

The guys are coming from you live from the suite in Mexico! Don't be fooled though. Just because they are in Paradise doesn't mean they aren't bring the juice. In this episode, the guys discuss various barriers in the pursuit of success.

Are you a producer or a consumer? In this episode, the guys discuss what it means to have a “Producing” mindset vs. A “Consuming” mindset. The reality is that in order to be successful, you have to produce more than you consume. Jemal shared that “The real value in life is the unseen work being done,” while ET added that “You take the rich (resources) that are around you, and produce wealth with them.” This episode really shows the value of putting in the work, because producing equals longevity.

In this episode, the conversation about loyalty and being exposed to greatness continues. The guys discuss the core values we all need to ensure success and ET pointed out four factors that change his life. The TIME invested on your craft, the EFFORT put in, the ENERGY provided, & how you EXECUTE the plan are factors that ensure success.

Loyalty is an important component in successful business relationships. In this episode, the guys discuss the two sides of loyalty—physical loyalty vs. the kind of collaborative business loyalty that goes above and beyond. ET made it clear that, "Running a business is deeper than just making money. Look at it from the standpoint of the impact you've made and are making on people and the world around you."

In this episode, the guys discuss Theodore Roosevelt’s "Man In The Arena" quote that provides a thoughtful perspective on criticism. In order to survive criticism, you have to adopt the mindset needed to push through it. It takes discipline to ignore all the critical chatter in your ear while you continue doing what you do even when the results are not evident.

Do you believe favor and favoritism have a place in the workplace? In this episode, the guys discuss favoritism in the workplace and what that really means. When you produce, execute, and don't need to be "managed" at work, favoritism naturally occurs. When execution is worshipped, those who regularly execute at the highest levels become the "favorites" by default. If you're not a "work favorite," there's probably a reason why.

Are you a problem solver? Do you complete what you started? In this episode, the guys discuss being solution-oriented and fixing areas in your life that need improving or things that need completion around the house. A lot of us waste time and the numerous opportunities that life gives us. Instead, we need to take Karl’s advice to, “Put your head down and focus on expanding your value so that you can cover 10 years of growth in 6 months.”

In this episode, the guys discuss the importance of making decisions and seeking feedback from the right people to help you grow rather than remaining in the same space, growing stagnant.

In this episode, the guys, alongside guest motivational speaker Inky Johnson, discuss how to change the preset narratives about race & money by operating in facts versus feelings. When it comes to past events, it's essential to have accurate information that promotes a genuine reaction rather than reacting the way someone thinks you should. We should always seek to work and move on principle, never emotion. We should value facts over feelings, always.

As you go through your life's journey, you will be presented with opportunities to work with, invest in, and support others. It is a Biblical standard for you to teach others what you know. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to share your knowledge and wisdom with others. In this episode, the guys discuss how to be strategic in providing information to others while planting the seeds, allowing you to control your life. They share words of wisdom and caution such as: Don't throw pearls before swine. By all means, help people develop but, don't just give stuff away. People respect what they have to earn. When they don't earn it, they don't value it as much. Make sure when you're negotiating with others that the outcome is win-win.

How would you describe the health of your finances? Do you know where your money goes each month? Do you invest your money? If not, are you afraid to jump into the stock market? In this episode, the guys & guest Rob Wilson discuss money strategies, investing options, and the mindset needed to thrive in the stock market.

Are opportunities given or created? In today’s episode, the guys wrestle with this concept and settle on the fact that regardless of how the opportunity originated, what matters most is what we do with it. Through colorful stories (including one about salmon) and some good old fashioned advice, the guys implore us to always seek to be faithful to the opportunities we have and get the most out of them.

In life, all of us have roles, responsibilities, and goals to accomplish and fulfill. In order to be successful, the guys discuss knowing your role and doing it to the best of your ability. No matter what your role is, whether that is being a leader or supporter on a team, make sure you're maximizing your position to ensure success. Doing so will always begin with taking action. Don't disrespect the process by looking for or taking shortcuts. That's nothing more than a waste of both time and effort. Do the work to be successful.

As we embark on the New Year, the guys take some time to wrestle with an internal crisis that many of us struggle with at one time or another. There are some situations that warrant having crazy faith. This is where you believe in a positive or promised end, that is not currently visible. This standpoint is contrasted with circumstances in which you are so blinded by what you want, that you are unable to see it for what it is, despite all the contextual clues.

This week, in the spirit of the Holiday Season, the guys are joined by nationally syndicated radio personality, activist, actor, & musician, Willie Moore Jr., who engages in a candid and moving dialogue about his life’s journey including being adopted at the age of three months, his journey as an R&B/Hip-Hop artist, rejection from his biological mother, hitting rock bottom financially, and ultimately his rise to the success that he experiences today.

“Every bite of food that I was talking, was having an effect on my genetic expression.” Those are the words of today’s guest. We have all heard the expression, you are what you eat. It’s not just a cliche’. It’s a genetic fact. In today’s episode, Shawn Stevenson, author and host of the #1 health podcast, The Model Health Show, shares his journey to discovering the truth about healthy living.

“The more rational your thinking, the more rational your decisions. The more rational your decisions, the probability of the outcomes being great are significantly higher than when you are in an emotional state.” In today’s episode, the guys are discussing the problem of making decisions based on feelings rather than on what is real, factual, and rational. Commit to making decisions rationally. Your life and legacy depend on it.

We make a lot of decisions every day, and with the right energy, we can make every decision, the right decision. The truth is, the energy you give to situations and circumstances in your life is a critical factor to your success. In this episode, the guys speak on how having the right energy, positive attitude, and follow-through can make all the difference in the outcome of decisions.

Yooo….You gotta listen to this one, let it simmer for a bit, and then listen to it again. Jemal pulls you into his journey to becoming the successful entrepreneur he is today by taking you back to some of the most vulnerable moments of his life as a police officer in Chicago. This one is real, raw, and gives you a much-needed dose of reality to embrace the urgency of this moment and do what it takes to execute on the commitments you've made to better yourself, your family, and your community.

"Focus on the process." Those are the words of Jayda, ET's daughter, on today's podcast. 2020 has been a year like no other. COVID-19 has changed everything, and it's easy to feel like your goals and dreams have been left behind. Listen up because today, the guys differentiate between two major types of people and how they plan and execute their goals. Be prepared to take lots of notes because you don't want to miss any of the life-changing actionable tips and strategies they are dropping today.

ET starts today’s podcast with the quote: ”Excellence is what we repeatedly do.” Over the weekend, CJ celebrated his bday and ET bought him a gift that he never received. ET turns this disappointment into an object lesson for people who want massive success, but their energy and effort don’t match their dreams and goals. While listening to this podcast the guys put emphasis on the importance of being excellent at all times. You can’t make next level money with average service and energy, grab your pen and pads; this one gets deep.

CJ is heated. That's how Karl and ET describe the seriousness of today's topic. Many aspiring entrepreneurs look for guidance and assistance while building their dreams. But on today's podcast, CJ talks about the people who put their success and dreams into others' hands. Do we need coaches to guide us..yes? Do we need people to bounce ideas off of..sure? But CJ's frustration boils over when people depend on others to make things happen. ET, Jemal, and Karl chime in and discuss how and why people create this false expectation when they're in close quarters with successful people.

Please go and get a pen and pad! You need to copy and remember every word ET starts this podcast with as he explains his frustration with contradictions. The contradictions of people who say they want success, they’re in the right place to obtain success, have every opportunity to make it happen, but they don’t want to do it what it takes. ET is convinced that the core problem with people who aren’t where they want to be is because they continue to contradict themselves. CJ, Karl, and Jemal chime in, and all the guys self-assess to see where and if they’re contradicting themselves in any area of life.

Today, ET and the guys talk about how Lebron has captured and planted his flag and, comparatively, how the guys are planting their flags.

Do you find yourself always giving out discounts to keep or attract new clients? When explaining your services to a prospective client, do you become nervous about sharing your services' costs because you're afraid of their response? Today on the podcast, the guys talk about how to get over the pricing hump and charge what you're worth. At the beginning of E's career, he wasn't getting 5-6 figures a speech. So, there were a few things the guys did to get him there. For today's listeners battling pricing concerns and apprehensions, do you think your anxiety has more to do with self-esteem or, is it a quality of work issue, i.e., you don't believe you're worth what you're asking? How do you stop giving discounts and stick to your price?

This week on the podcast, the guys continue discussing accountability versus bullying and the very fine line between them. The guys go back to when they started to work together and discuss how their relationships and roles developed over the years. In those early days, their relationships were different and, so were the levels of accountability between them. But, once the vision became clear, the levels of accountability clearly shifted. How did ET deal with it? Was it bullying at the beginning? The guys tell all as they reflect on where they started, where they are and, how they got there.

Accountability versus bullying. Two terms that most people don't use in the same sentence. Accountability is the obligation to explain, justify, and take responsibility for one's actions. Bullying is someone who intimidates or selfishly coerces people into doing things they don't want to do.
