Books + Bars: Curren$y, "Example" Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

Today's bar is from New Orleans' own, Curren$y. This particular track "Example" from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don't hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta "shook the dice and rolled," he also took that step when others would "stay shook and froze". So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters.

You're not that good Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

Stop and ask yourself, "are you doing as well as you can in every aspect of your life?" If we are being honest with ourselves, the answer is no. In what ways are we restricting our growth based on the fact that we refuse to look at our own faults and shortcomings dead in the face? In this episode I give you a raw, emotional example from my life that made me stop and reexamine a particular aspect in my life and I give you 4 actionable steps you can take to ruthlessly weed out these flaws and improve on them.
