One thing that the guys feel strongly about is healthy relationships. It Doesn't matter if it's friends, family, or business; interpersonal relationships play a big part in each of the guy's daily lives. On today's podcast, CJ starts the conversation off talking about two good friends who are at odds with each other, and he's found himself in the middle. From the outside looking in, he realizes both parties are highlighting the other's faults that they could each clearly see before the beef kicked off and chose to say nothing about. Now, because they're fighting one another, those problems have taken center stage. Have you ever had a situation where you were at odds with someone and didn't know how to fix it? ET and the guys give practical advice on keeping and sustaining healthy relationships in all areas of your life.

Self-discipline is a much more reliable predictor of one’s future success than an IQ score. There are a lot of smart people. They score highly on tests, their comprehension is off the charts, and they always do well in school. But there aren’t a lot of disciplined people. They can’t make or keep commitments; they allow things to distract them when they need to be doing something else. Most importantly, that inability to discipline themselves keeps them from accomplishing their dreams and goals. This week, the guys break down how your approach to self-discipline is the anchor that either keeps you tethered to or away from living the life you’ve always wanted.

The Secret to Success Topics:

[08:08] - Don’t Ask My Opinion
[12:07] - ET & The NBA
[17:40] - Fight For Your Spot
[30:50] - Which One?
[41:00] - Worship The Commitment
[1:00:00] - The Reminder

The Secrets 2 Success:

Self discipline is a much stronger predictor of one’s future success than IQ.
When you’re average when the resources run low you’re the first to go.
When times get tough you have to be in producer mode not consumer mode.
The true dog is not letting yourself stay in the same spot.
Find your triggers of things that get you undisciplined.

You did everything they told you to do; you took the course, read the book, yet you're still in the same place. On today's podcast, the guys talk about what it takes to get real sustained, permanent change in your life—a change in behavior, and your mindset will lead to the results you want.

One of ET's favorite quotes and one he lives by is, "Where your focus goes, your energy flows." On today's podcast, CJ plays a clip of a viral ET moment where E calls out multiple excuses given for why he can't be successful. These excuses are all based on emotion instead of rational thought. Right now, across the country and the world, emotions are running higher than usual and, given current events, this is understandable and, expected. But, we know from experience that decisions and actions taken based on emotion instead of facts and principles don't always give us the outcomes we've sought. Today, ET and the guys offer tangible, strategic steps to creating real and, sustainable change whose roots are anchored in facts, not feelings.

Last week's podcast was heavy, with the guys being painfully transparent about their experiences with racism. This week the conversation focuses on solutions with honorary 5th member of the podcast squad, Josh Hatch, joining the discussion. What are the next steps to educating White people on the realities of systemic racism? How do we make permanent changes in the hearts and minds of the people that will shut down systemic racism and allow equity for everyone? The American Dream should be available to everyone, regardless of skin color, and today, we're going to look at building the blocks to make that happen.

231 - Pick A Side Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

Today's Podcast is being released during one of the most tumultuous and tragic periods in our country's recent history. The past several weeks have seen the murders of innocent Black Americans at the hands of law enforcement-Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. And, the revelation that earlier this year, Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man out for a run in rural Georgia, had been hunted down and murdered by a band of emboldened and empowered racists. His crime, jogging in a neighborhood they felt he had no business. In the face of these excruciating losses, and after hearing the same bigoted arguments made in justification of their deaths, our country and, the world screamed in unison, "ENOUGH!" We've all had enough. We're fed up with Bigotry, fed up with our communities being underserved and underrepresented and blamed for the ills that lack of support has nurtured, fed up with institutionalized, systemic racism, fed up with blatant in your face racism, inequality and injustice. Collectively, we are tired. Sadly, but not surprisingly, each of the guys has experienced racism and knows it's as American as Apple Pie and Baseball. Today, they've brought their perspectives and experiences to the Podcast. Jemal King, a former police officer, CJ, a bi-racial man, Karl, a native of Barbados, and ET, who grew up in the inner cities of Chicago and Detroit, who's seen it all. Rich or poor, educated or not, racism considers none of that. It discriminates equally and plays itself out in the daily lives of people of color worldwide. Today's Podcast will shed some light on what that continues to look like for this fantastic foursome. The Secret to Success Topics:

[01:45] - Trey’s Comedy Corner
[07:21] - George Floyd
[14:00] - Forever Ago
[28:00] - It Ain’t For Them
[40:00] - Walk With Us
[48:25] - As A Officer
[1:03:00] - The Disconnect
[1:20:00] - Where Do You Stand?
[1:41:00] - Don’t Quit

Secrets 2 Success:

If you’ve never lived in the jungle you don’t know how the Tiger and the Bears move.
Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
White people can’t thrive in this country without black people.
Cry if you will, rest if you must, but don’t quit.

Show notes

The topic of money is one that most people shy away from. Like, politics, religion, and sex, money is a subject so taboo it's never to be discussed casually, among strangers or, at Holiday, family functions. At least that's what we've always heard. On today's podcast, ET recalls a segment from a recent 1% Conference, where he told attendees to change the way they think about money. Did you know that there are 10 myths about money that are keeping people from being wealthy and prosperous? It's true. Today, ET tears down a few of these myths and shows how holding onto these limiting beliefs about money is holding you back from living your best life.
