Work On Your Game: Mental Toughness, Confidence & Discipline From A Professional Basketball Athlete

This is part two of my two-part mini-series on why the Red Pill movement is great for society. It’s actually part of a bigger four-part series. If you didn’t hear part one, go back and check that out—I’m picking up right where I left off at point number four. In this episode, I’m breaking down more reasons why the Red Pill helps. Then in the next two episodes, I’ll talk about the other side—how it might actually be bad. Show Notes:  [01:53]#4 The Red Pill movement warns men about the legal and social risks they face in relationships, especially when things go wrong. [10:44]#5 It creates a male center space and a place for building brotherhood. [13:39]#6 The Red Pill movement helps men build discipline and accountability through guidance from other men.

#3282: Why The "Red Pill" Movement Is GREAT For Society [Part 1 of 2] by Dre Baldwin

Where do I get the energy? One of our Work On Your Game University members, Jen, asked me that recently — and I gave her an answer on the spot. But the more I thought about it, I realized this is something many of you might be wondering too. So in this episode, I break down where my energy comes from and how you can get more of it for yourself. Energy is one of the five key things you need to succeed — and today, I’ll show you how to get more of it. Show Notes:  [03:01]#1 I do things that I like and enjoy.  [11:10]#2  Energy is a skill, it is not a talent.  [17:58]#3  Momentum is a self serving mechanism.  [22:22]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2466: The Law Of Inertia Next Steps: ---

Today, I’m diving into my biggest issue with the liberal view. A lot of people think I’m conservative, but I don’t side with any political party. I’ve always tried to think logically and objectively. The liberal idea of equity—giving people different levels of help based on their needs—sounds good, but I don’t agree with it. I’ll explain why I’m not a fan and why I believe in a different approach. Show Notes:  [06:45]#1 Life isn’t fair.  [14:29]#2 Some people have head starts and others get the opposite of a head start or ass start.This can't be denied and this is fair and exactly how life is supposed to be.  [21:53]#3 The easiest way to get support from anything or anyone in life is to build momentum by doing something yourself.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to have the standards of a true professional. I got the idea when I was looking at the weather forecast here in South Florida. I wasn’t excited about the high temps, but the low temps—that’s what made me happy. It made me realize that just like how I expect the lows to stay high here, a professional’s standards should always stay high, no matter what. I’ll explain how this all connects to being a real professional in your field. Show Notes:  [03:52]#1 Your low is higher than everybody else's high.  [08:36]#2 In your line of work, you are never caught off guard or caught by surprise.  [15:34]#3 You always solve all the problems.

In this episode, I’m talking about why I believe everyone deserves a platform. I’ve seen people get mad—not just at what someone says, but at the fact that they even got the chance to say it. That makes no sense to me. I used the Joe Rogan podcast as an example, because he brings on people with different views, and folks lose their minds over it. I don’t care if I agree or not—people should be allowed to speak. Let’s talk about why that matters. Show Notes:  [06:04]#1 Free speech and open discourse, United States of America.  [14:18]#2 Avoiding a guest or avoiding a topic is a form of censorship.  [18:28]#3 There is no such thing as "platforming" a person. The term itself is oxymoronic.  [22:12]#4 Audience backlash.  [25:32]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2219: The 12 Work On Your Game Commandments Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really takes to win as a professional service entrepreneur. I’m talking to coaches, consultants, lawyers, doctors—anyone who sells their expertise. A lot of people in these spaces are messing up, not because they’re bad at their work, but because they’re focused on the wrong stuff. Your skills aren’t the problem—it's that you're not fully serving what your clients actually want. I’ll break down how to shift that and get your business on track. Show Notes:   [02:49]#1 People skills.  [07:29]#2 You must understand needs that are not specifically related to your expertise or service.  [14:59]#3 Touch.

In this episode, I talk about the war we’re already in — and no, it’s not World War Three. A lot of people ask me if that’s where we’re headed, and I always say, I hope not. But the truth is, we’re already at war — an information war. Most people don’t even realize it, but it’s happening right now. And in many ways, this kind of war is even more dangerous. Show Notes:  [03:48]#1 The war between the people who believe what they are told  vs. people who think critically. [11:11]#2 What the people who accept everything they hear do not understand. [19:06]#3 The most important people we have in society today are those who are willing to challenge the accepted ideas [22:15]Recap Next Steps: Episodes Mentioned: 1826: How To Be A Critical Thinker [1/2] 1827: Habits Of A Critical Thinker [2/2] 2073: Signs That You're NOT A Critical Thinker 3156: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained [Part 1 of 3] Next Steps: ---

Today’s topic is simple: all politicians are liars. And no, I’m not saying that to insult anyone personally. I’m saying the system in the U.S. is set up in a way that forces politicians to lie—it's built into the job. I’ve talked about politics before, but today I’m going deeper on why this happens and what it means for you. If you live in America, you need to hear this. Show Notes: [03:03]#1 To be successful in politics in the United States of America, you have no choice but to lie. [11:43]#2 The game of many politicians today. [24:22]#3 To be successful for a long time working in the public sector, you’ve got to get really good at spin, which is basically taking a story that is looking one way and make it look another way.

Today I’m talking about the three keys to intelligence. Most people think being smart means knowing a lot, but the real definition is your ability to get, understand, and use knowledge. That changed how I look at intelligence. In this episode, I’ll show you how to become more intelligent based on that definition—not just opinion. If you want to level up your thinking, lock in for this one. Show Notes: [03:38]#1 Way to increase intelligence is you must seek knowledge. [13:18]#2 Know where to look for and where to find the knowledge that you want.  [23:34]#3 You got to apply the knowledge that you found. [30:10]Recap Next Steps: ---

Today is part two of my mini-series on why people use logical fallacies. Yesterday, I gave you the backstory, and before that, I did a four-part series on the fallacies themselves.  I explain how people use them to redirect uncomfortable conversations. Most don’t even realize they’re doing it, but you can defend yourself by controlling your emotions. Stay calm and logical to stay in control—reacting emotionally only gives power to others. Show Notes: [02:14]#4 Logical fallacies take conversations that are about topic ABC and turn them into a conversation about topic X, Y, Z.  [16:20]#5 People use logical fallacies all the time when they talk, but they're completely unaware of it, and they go through their entire lifetimes doing it simply because few people are keen to notice it, let alone can someone point it out or explain it.  [20:29]#6 The key to making yourself immune to having logical fallacies used against you, or you using some yourself is that you must first learn to control your emotions and rea

In this episode, I’m breaking down how and why people use logical fallacies, even when they don’t realize they’re doing it. This topic is fun for me because once you know what to look for, you’ll see it everywhere—especially when folks argue online or talk about current events. Most people lean on emotion instead of real logic, and that’s where things start falling apart. I’ll show you how to spot these fallacies so you don’t fall for them, and also how to catch yourself before you do the same thing. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [06:40]#1 A person hears something with which they disagree.  [14:20]#2 Most people's knee jerk reactions to things that they disagree with are often based on their emotions, not their logic or rational thinking. [22:33]#3 Logical fallacies occur when someone is using, as I said, an illogical explanation for their position.
