Bars: Wisdom of the Samurai (Hagakure) May 21, 2020

Show notes

Under pressure, most people wish it were different. Some stay calm. And then there are the Killas....they find a way to be more reckless, more aggressive and even more dominant under the pressure. This is not a gift. It is a choice. In "Hagakure" this mindset is brilliantly stated. and in this episode I break down this mindset from the classic book. #BARS Imnotyou.com/bookclub

Bars: "Every Jab, I've Parried It" ("Fruits of the Spirit", by Jay Electronica) May 13, 2020

Show notes

In any industry, sport, or business, there are always invisible standards, rules and values. And what's true is that very often these values are not the same as your own. What we usually see is people who make it to a level of success, yet end up sacrificing what they really want and who they really are. They allow themselves to be a victim of their environment. Jay Electronica is not one of those people, and he explains how and why, on his new album "A Written Testimony". #Bars
