#3440: Why Powerful Men NEVER Masturbate [Part 3 of 4]
We’re in part three of this four-part series on why powerful men never masturbate. In this one, I talk about how porn-based masturbation disconnects you from real women and messes up your sense of real intimacy. It also trains you to quit by giving in to easy urges instead of building discipline and power. And lastly, it flips the dominance polarity, turning you from an assertive man into a passive consumer. If you want to keep your masculine energy strong, you need to hear this one. Show Notes: [01:00]#7 It disconnects you from real women. [07:54]#8 You are teaching yourself to quit...
#3439: Why Powerful Men NEVER Masturbate [Part 2 of 4]
We’re back for part two of the series on why powerful men never masturbate. In this one, I talk about how releasing your energy too often weakens your presence — your eye contact, your voice, even the way people feel your energy. When your energy drops, everyone feels it, from women to kids to even your dog. I also break down how masturbation trains you to be alone and kills your social and sexual drive. If you want to keep your energy magnetic and your presence strong, this episode is for you. Show Notes: [01:01]#4 You are draining yourself. [08:01]#5 Tension is releas...
#3438: Why Powerful Men NEVER Masturbate [Part 1 of 4]
This is the start of a four-part series on why a powerful man should never, ever masturbate. I’m breaking down the difference between sex and masturbation — because they’re not the same thing. Sex is creative energy. It’s giving and dominant. Masturbation is escapist energy. It drains you instead of building you. In this episode, I explain why that difference matters if you want to stay in your power as a man. Show Notes: [03:27]#1 You are leaking your life force. [07:45]#2 Masturbation is a choice to chase pleasure over power. [15:37]#3 You are making yourself spiritually softer. [20:16]Recap Next Steps --- 🎓 Work O...
#3437: Do Companies Exploit Their Employees? [Part 2 of 2]
We’re back with part two of “Do Companies Exploit Their Employees?” In this one, I explain why your problem isn’t exploitation — it’s lack of leverage. When you have no leverage, you get controlled. When you build leverage, no one can exploit you. I talk about what leverage really means, how to create it, and how to make yourself unexploitable by changing your mindset, your actions, and the way you show up in business. Show Notes: [01:01]#4 Do workers matter? Yes, they do. [08:07]#5 To remove the cap on your upside, you got to remove your downside. [12:54]#6 Your problem is you lack levera...
#3436: Do Companies Exploit Their Employees? [Part 1 of 2]
Are companies really exploiting their employees? That’s what I’m breaking down in this episode. A lot of people are quick to blame the rich, business owners, or “the system” for why they don’t have what they want, but that frame leaves out one key thing: personal responsibility. I talk about how this mindset became popular, why it’s so convincing, and why I don’t buy into it. Let’s dig into the real reason some people stay stuck while others rise. Show Notes: [05:18]#1 Hell no. [10:35]#2 Entrepreneurs are the one who took the fucking risk. [14:46]#3 If you take no risk, you g...
#3435: Strategies Vs Systems [They're NOT The Same Thing]
Most people mix up strategies and systems, and that’s why they stay stuck. A strategy is your plan of action; it tells you what to do. A system is what helps you do it consistently without burning out. You need both if you want long-term success. In this episode, I break down the difference and show you how to make them work together so your results don’t depend on how you feel that day. Show Notes: [02:57]#1 Strategies are what we aim to do. [08:21]#2 Systems are about how you do things. [22:09]#3 Clear strategies make for easier systems. [27:55]#Recap Next Steps ...

#3433: How To "Escape The Matrix" [Part 3 of 3]
This is part three of my Escape the Matrix series, and we’re closing it out strong. In this episode, I’m breaking down three more traps that keep you plugged in: the feminization of men, false freedom, and the pharmaceutical industry. I talk about why men aren’t being trained to be men anymore, how you’re being sold the idea of freedom when your choices are really controlled, and how the medical system keeps you scared and dependent. Listen in so you can see these traps for what they are and start taking your power back. Show Notes: [01:05]#7 The ongoin...
#3432: How To "Escape The Matrix" [Part 2 of 3]
We’re back with part two of my three-part series on how to Escape the Matrix. In this episode, I’m breaking down three more traps that keep you plugged in: social media, the financial system, and the celebrity world. I explain why you should treat social media like a tool — not a place to build your life — and why you must learn about money outside of school if you want to stop being kept in the dark. I also talk about how celebrity culture is designed to keep you distracted from living your own life. Listen in so you can start...
#3431: How To "Escape The Matrix" [Part 1 of 3]
You’ve heard the red pill, blue pill idea from the movie — blue pill means keep living how you live, red pill means you wake up and see the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable. Today I’m breaking down what the Matrix really is in everyday life in sports, school, government, relationships — and why most people stay inside it. If you’re ready to stop blinding yourself to what’s real, this episode is about taking that red pill and seeing things for what they are. Show Notes: [03:28]#1 Use mainstream media sparingly and as entertainment, never as the main course. [09:04...
#3430: Moonshot Thinking And Why You Need It
Most people spend their lives chasing small problems and getting small rewards. That’s like a lion hunting mice — the effort isn’t worth the payoff. In this episode, I’m talking about moonshot thinking and why you need it. Moonshot thinking is about aiming at bigger targets, giving yourself the chance to win big, even if it’s harder. This is about possibility, stretching yourself, and asking the kind of questions that can change your whole situation. Show Notes: [05:08]#1 Moonshot is about what is one thing you could do or start working on that would change the entire trajectory of your situa...
#3429: Batching: The Value Of It, And How To Start
In this episode, I’m breaking down batching — what it is, why it matters, and how you can start doing it. Batching simply means grouping tasks and knocking them out all at once instead of spreading them out day by day. I’ll share how I use batching to stay 50 episodes ahead on this show, and how you can use it for things like content, emails, or any repeat task in your life. Not everything can be batched, but the things that can will save you time, energy, and stress. Show Notes: [05:48]#1 You want to do things in bulk, all at once...
#3428: The Scary Future About AI
For some of you, it’ll be a problem if you move too slow or sit around doing nothing. But for others, it’ll be a huge opportunity. In this episode, I’m talking about the scary future of AI. I’ll break down what’s really happening with AI, how it’s already in your life even if you don’t notice it, and what you need to do so this future works for you instead of against you. Show Notes: [02:43]#1 Most people don't think, don't read, and they're lazy. [07:40]#2 AI is making it easier for people to be this type of per...
#3427: Knowledge = Addition; Wisdom = Subtraction
Knowledge is about adding more, but wisdom is about subtracting what doesn’t matter. Yesterday we talked about editing, and today I’m doubling down by showing you how high-level decision makers cut through noise and focus only on what really moves the needle. If you want to rise above distractions and get to the next level, this is the mindset shift you need. Show Notes: [02:02]#1 Knowledge is about adding on more. [09:06]#2 Knowledge fills your head while Wisdom clears your path. [19:09]#3 The world rewards clarity.

#3426: The Essence Of Editing For Success
In this class, I’m talking about the essence of editing and why it matters for success. Editing isn’t just about books or writing, it’s about cutting out what doesn’t fit so only the best remains. I’ll share how I use editing in my own writing process and how you can apply the same idea to your mindset, your habits, and even your relationships. Success is not about adding more, it’s about knowing what to cut. Show Notes: [04:37]#1 When you edit, you are creating clarity and addition by deletion. [10:46]#2 You get to do more effectively by needing and...
#3425: My Cure For The "AWOL Effect"
Yesterday I broke down the AWOL effect, when you’ve got the skill but your results are missing in action. Today I’m giving you the cure. If you’ve confirmed you’ve got the AWOL effect, I’ll show you exactly what to do about it. Remember, every problem has a solution, and this one is no different.

#3424: Are Your Results AWOL?
In this class, I’m bringing back the concept of the AWOL effect — when your results are missing in action. You might not have a name for it, but you know the feeling: working hard, yet not seeing the outcomes you want. I’ll explain what the AWOL effect really is, why it happens, and how to deal with it so you can get back on track. If what I describe sounds like your situation, you’ll know exactly what steps to take next. Show Notes: [02:12]#1 Ability Without Outcome or Leverage.

#3423: Where The World Is Going (And What To Do About It)
In this episode, I’m breaking down where the world is really going and what you need to do about it. Some of you may not like it, some may not agree — but it’s happening whether you want it to or not. I’ll share the truth about the future, why ignoring it won’t help you, and the adjustments you need to make to be ready. I also touch on voices like Andrew Tate, not to co-sign everything, but to point out where he’s been accurate about what’s coming. Show Notes: [03:11]#1 Power will continue to be consolidated am...
#3422: How To Be Inevitable
Becoming inevitable doesn’t happen by chance, it’s a conscious decision, and today I’m giving you the format. In this episode, I’m talking about how to be inevitable. I break down the difference between someone who just hopes to succeed and someone you know is certain to win, it’s only a matter of how and when. I’ll show you what being inevitable looks like, how it feels, and the choices you have to make to step into it yourself. Show Notes: [02:07]#1 Decide the outcome before you begin. [07:06]#2 Your habits should be stronger than your emotions. [12:17]#3 Master repetiti...
#3421: Stillness Is A System: Dominance Via Emotional Containment
Stillness is a system. In this episode, I break down how to dominate through emotional containment and why real power comes from channeling your emotions, not hiding them or faking hype. A lot of people think being calm or stoic means you’re missing something, but I argue it’s actually a winning strategy. I’ll show you how to take any emotion you feel and turn that energy into productive action based on your standards, systems, and goals. Show Notes: [04:08]#1 Stillness is about control, not about silence. [09:34]#2 Stillness triggers discomfort in the weak. [17:16]#3 Stillness is not a mood or emotion...
#3420: The Confidence Loop
In this episode, I’m breaking down the confidence loop. Everybody wants more confidence, no matter who they are—athletes, business people, or even retirees. I’ll walk you through the process of how confidence actually works, why it matters, and how each piece connects to the next. When you put this into motion, it becomes a cycle that keeps building on itself. This is how you create real, lasting confidence.Let's get to it. Show Notes: [01:52]#1 Discipline.

#3419: Dominance Without Noise: The Quiet Power Of Precision
In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet power of precision. When you’re truly sharp and exact at what you do, you don’t need to make noise or announce yourself your work speaks louder than anything you could say. Precision is dominance without the extra flash, because people will see it, feel it, and talk about it for you. The question is, do you want to be the one telling the world how good you are, or do you want the world to be the one telling you? Show Notes: [02:36]#1 Noise is the hallmark of the insecure. [14:17]#2 Precisi...
#3418: Eliminating "Decision Fatigue"
In this episode, I’m breaking down decision fatigue and why it should never even happen. Most people get tired of making too many choices, but that’s only because they don’t have the right structure in place. Your brain gets tired just like your body does, but the solution is to set things up so you don’t have to keep deciding over and over. I’ll share how to reframe this whole idea and give you preemptive solutions so you never hit that wall of decision fatigue again. Show Notes: [02:09]#1 Decision fatigue is a symptom of poor decision sy...
#3417: How A System Forces Progress
In this episode, I’m talking about how systems force progress. A lot of people want growth, but the problem is most rely only on willpower. What I’m sharing here is how setting up the right systems and structures makes success automatic; you don’t even have to think about it. When you put a system in place and actually use it, it removes the chance of staying stuck and forces you to keep moving forward. This is how you make progress inevitable. Show Notes: [02:05]#1 Systems replace motivation. [07:30]#2 Systems turn success into a process. [16:13]#3 Systems eliminate drift and guarantee progress...
#3416: Self Discipline Vs System Discipline
In this episode, I’m breaking down self discipline versus system discipline. Discipline is the foundation of success and the mark of any true professional—you’ve heard me say this hundreds of times. A system’s discipline will always beat a person’s discipline, because systems don’t need rest, food, or breaks like people do. I’ll explain the difference, why systems outlast individuals, and how this matters for your success at the professional level. Show Notes: [02:03]#1 Being self discipline is an internal trait. [07:16]#2 Self discipline requires energy. [16:29]#3 Self discipline is personal system discipline is scalable. [21:15]Recap Next Steps: --- 🎓 Work...
#3415: Why Effort Can Never Beat A System
Raw grit alone will never beat a system. I’ve always told you discipline, effort, and showing up matter but if you don’t put that inside the right system, you’re just burning energy. Too many people buy into hustle culture, thinking effort by itself equals success. The truth is, grit and energy have value, but a solid system will always win. In this episode, I’m breaking down why you need both, and why the system is the real game changer. Show Notes: [02:45]#1 Grit eventually burns out. [10:31]#2 Grit, tries to swim against the currents of chaos. [15:32]#3 Grit is personal...
#3414: How The Disciplined Person Still Loses
Discipline is the foundation of everything I teach, and it’s the #1 trait I point to when people ask me what creates success. But here’s the truth: being disciplined alone won’t guarantee the outcome you want. A lot of disciplined people still lose because they use it the wrong way. In this episode, I break down how discipline can backfire, the traps you need to avoid, and what it really takes to make your discipline work for you instead of against you. Show Notes: [02:32]#1 Discipline still requires direction. [05:38]#2 Consistency is not clarity. [11:49]#3 Discipline is not to be confused with eff...
#3413: The "Failure Hustler"
A lot of people are busy, working hard, trying new things but not actually making progress. That’s what I call failure hustling. It’s when you use “I’m busy” or “I work hard” as a cover for the fact that nothing’s really moving forward. In this episode, I break down what failure hustling looks like, how to know if you’re doing it, and most importantly what to do about it. Show Notes: [02:07]#1 You are always grinding but never growing. [07:47]#2 Your hustle is an identity rather than a strategy. [17:38]#3 You must outgrow hustling. [21:47]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1824: The "Race Hustler": Who...
#3412: Dominance Is A System - Not A Personality
Dominance is not about personality it’s about systems. A lot of people want to dominate in their space, to be the best and number one at what they do. But the key is understanding that dominance comes from consistent behaviors, not just who you are or how you act in the moment. In this episode, I break down the difference between personality and system, and why getting this distinction right is what will actually put you in that dominant position. Show Notes: [01:54]#1 Dominance is repeatable. [07:21]#2 Systems create consistency. [11:29]#3 Presence as a systematic byproduct. [15:32]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2013: The SAME Things, The S...
#3411: How To Shift From "Trying Harder" To "Taking Over"
In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between just trying hard and actually taking over. Effort matters—you can’t win without it—but there are levels to this game. The truth is, no matter how hard you work, someone out there can work harder, so you need more than hustle. I’ll show you the strategy to go beyond effort and become the dominant player in your space. Show Notes: [01:19]#1 You have to stop hoping and start deciding. [07:43]#2 You have to shift from output to ownership. [14:05]#3 You have to raise your standards. [18:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2174: There Are No Perfect Sc...
#3410: The Lies Of Hustle Culture
Hustle culture has been lying to you. I’ve hustled more than most, so I’m not against hard work, but the way hustle gets sold is all wrong. They make it seem like the only reason someone is successful is because they just outworked everybody else, and that’s simply not true. Yes, hustle and effort matter, but success is not an effort-based game it’s a results-based game. In this episode, I break down the lies of hustle culture and why hard work alone will never be the thing that separates you. Show Notes: [06:45]#1 More power equals less sleep. ...
#3409: #1 Rule Of Marketing: Location, Location, Location!
Location is everything. Just like in real estate, the spot matters more than the house itself, and the same rule applies in business and marketing. You can have the best product or service, but if it’s in the wrong place, it won’t win. On the other hand, something not-so-perfect in the right spot can outperform. In this episode, I break down why location is the number one rule and how it applies to your success. Show Notes: [01:15]#1 A big piece of marketing is about how and where you show up. [09:19]#2 Show up where you can stand up. [17:47]#3 Branding. [21:25]Reca Ne...
#3408: Where My "Systematized Discipline" Came From
In this episode I share how I came to lean into systematized discipline, what it is, where it came from, and why I’m the one talking about it. Before I ever had a brand or business, I was already living this even before I could put a name on it. Now I’m giving it to you with a clear explanation and a label so there’s no confusion. The goal isn’t just to understand it, but to use it, apply it, and get real results. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [02:12]#1 This was baked into me from my chi...
#3407: Seduction Is A Business Skill
In this episode, I’m explaining why seduction is more than just a dating thing, it's a business skill. Seduction can also be applied to any area where you want to pull people into your world. Whether you’re selling, leading, or building a brand, your ability to attract attention and interest is key. I’ll break down why this matters for your career and business, and how to use it to your advantage. Show Notes: [01:48]#1 Every sale is a courtship. [08:53]#2 People buy energy more than they buy products. [15:24]#3 The best closers in the sales world never have to actually close. ...
#3406: Extremity Becomes Identity
In this episode, I’m breaking down how extremity becomes identity. When you live at the very edge of your craft, you stand apart from the dabblers who only do it halfway. I share how, back in my basketball days, players admired Kobe Bryant’s extreme work ethic even though most couldn’t match it. To make something part of your identity, you don’t have to be the only one doing it, you just have to take it further than anyone else. I’ll explain how to push to that level so your extreme becomes who you are. Show Notes: [0...
#3405: What To Eliminate From Your Calendar
In this episode, I’m talking about how to filter out what needs to be eliminated from your calendar. Time is your most valuable resource, yet many people treat it like it’s unlimited. As a professional, every minute should be moving you forward making money, serving people, or improving your position. The goal isn’t to add more to your plate but to remove the stuff that’s wasting your time. I’ll show you how to cut out the clutter so your calendar only holds what truly matters. Show Notes: [02:24]#1 Good ideas that are not priorities. [07:50]#2 Recurring does not equal r...
#3404: "Nice" People Are Just Liars
Being “nice” is not the goal and if you’re just trying to be nice, you’re lying. You’re putting on a fake version of yourself to make people like you. I’ve said it many times: being important matters way more than being nice. This is a results game, not a nice person contest. Get important first then you can choose to be nice if you want. Show Notes: [02:08]#1 Being “nice” is a costume. [10:04]#2 Nice people rather be comfortable than to get to what's real. [18:54]#3 Nice people cannot be trusted as leaders in any type of relationship. [23:29]Recap Episodes Mentioned...
#3403: You Are Not Depressed
You don’t have depression. Just like I said yesterday about ADHD, a lot of people use this label as an excuse for not doing what they need to do. The drug and therapy industries push this so you’ll keep needing them. That's how they make money. Today, I’m breaking down why most of what you’ve heard about depression is not true and why you have more control than you think. Show Notes: [03:48]#1 You are much more disconnected than you are depressed. [09:42]#2 Your brain's turning inward, you're thinking everything's bad. [18:19]#3 Emotional pain is not a permanent identity. [21:37]Recap Next St...
#3402: You Do Not Have ADHD
I don’t believe you have ADHD. A lot of us got that label as kids because a teacher or counselor said we couldn’t focus like the other students. The truth is, this whole ADHD thing was created by the system and drug companies to give schools and parents an excuse. They just wanted us to sit still, be quiet, and follow boring lessons from people who never actually did what they teach. In this episode, I’m breaking down why you don’t have ADHD and why it’s time to stop using it as an excuse. Show Notes: [0...
#3401: Why Most People Have No "Presence"
Most people never build a real presence that feeling you give off that makes people notice and respect you without you even trying. I’m not talking about just being in a place, I mean having a vibe and confidence that people can feel anywhere, even if you’re just at the grocery store. Presence is self-assurance and the way you carry yourself. In this episode, I talk about why most people never develop it and what’s stopping them. Show Notes: [03:24]#1 Most people chase attention more than they anchor energy. [12:11]#2 Movement and noise addiction [24:12]#3 Most people don't know who they ar...
