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?   (2:49) The football come-up   (6:12) "Pancakes"   (8:15) It's not easy to get to the pros   (10:22) I can easily spot the "pretenders"   (11:49) Signs of a phony, Pt. 1: You think you're really good.   (12:50) Signs of a phony, Pt. 2: You don't approach nutrition without deliberation.   (14:02) Signs of a phony, Pt. 3: Your problems are always external.   (15:10) Signs of a phony, Pt. 4: You have pro-goals, but hol

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. In this episode, I share with you my journey to become fearless and the step by step formula for how you can too.   Time-Stamps:   (1:24) Welcome back to the Sports Motivation Podcast!   (2:02) Fearlessness   (2:25) Goals   (4:11) What fearless means to me   (7:11) P.

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

How do you prepare yourself to actually perform when it's time to? How do you put yourself in a position to actually dominate when it matters most? I break the formula down in this episode.     (1:22) Welcome back to the Sports Motivation Podcast   (2:18) Shoutout to Sarah!   (4:17) #1: Laser-like clarity on your vision   (5:14) #2: Set 3-6 month outcomes   (6:08) #3: Identify high-performance targets     (7:11) #4: Create a daily game plan to get better   (7:46) #5: Measure Improvements   (8:03) #6: Track your emotions   (9:22) #7: Create new emotional recipes   (10:08) www.imnotyou.com/KI   (11:13) #8: Put yourself in high-pressure situations frequently   (13:13) #9: Be Compassionate to yourself

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. Patience..... but move aggressively... sounds tricky, but it's possible, and necessary. #BARS

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.   (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code   (0:55) Introduction to "Control"   (2:03) Hypnosis Track   (6:45) "Control" Affirmation Track   (13:18) Killer Instinct     W

You must build a fearless attitude towards your mistakes, and allow yourself to learn and grow. This will lead to an excitement and boldness that your vision requires. You must condition this acceptance, and allow yourself to be free of the past.   (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code   (0:55) Introduction to "Let go of regret and guilt"   (1:47) Hypnosis Track   (6:40) "Let go of regret and guilt" Affirmation Track   (12:55) Killer Instinct   Want to work with me?

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 desire to feel confident, but the nervousness and anxiety are taking a toll on your body. You worry... 'Can I make it happen? What if I lose? Can I really do this?' You must let go of these paralyzing emotions and take on a fearless game 7 mentality that is true in all of the greats. Your goal is to feel confident, loose, excited and free...and trusting yourself fully. This is the way to win.    (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code   (0:55) Introduction to "Taste Blood"   (1:45) Hypnosis Track   (6:30) "Game 7" Affirmation Track   (10:09) Killer Instinct   Want to work with me?
