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

Today we’re getting into Part 2 of my four-part series on Why Western Society Is Collapsing. If you haven’t heard Part 1 yet, go listen to that first so you know where I’m coming from. Each part connects to the next, so it all makes more sense when you hear it in order. Let’s keep it going. Show Notes: [02:09]#4 The dream of massive success is not being realized.  [10:34]#5 Political corruption and distrust in the government.  [17:44]#6 Mass immigration without forced assimilation.   [25:01]Recap 3143: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 1 of 4] 3214: How America Does Immigration WRONG Next Steps: ---

Today we’re getting into part one of a four-part series on why Western society is falling apart. Yes, it’s collapsing—and if you live in the U.S. or Western Europe, that means you. I talked about this on a live stream earlier this year, but this topic is too important not to be on the official record, which is this show right here. If this is the main place you hear from me, you're in the right spot. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [03:52]#1 Cultural and social fragmentation.  [09:34]#2 The breakdown of the family structure.   [17:51]#3 The middle class is disappearing.  [23:05]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3143: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 1 of 4] Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three key laws of economics—but not the kind you hear about with money and taxes. These laws are about how the world works based on people’s choices and actions. Most folks don’t even know these laws exist, but they affect you every single day. I’m here to explain what they are, how they work, and why they matter, even when money’s not involved. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [03:12]#1 Law of economics is supply and demand.  [13:26]#2 Diminish marginal returns.  [21:30]#3 Opportunity cost. [30:30]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3203: Why Instagram "Ass Models" Exist 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs Next Steps: ---

In this episode, I’m talking about speed of outcome. We don’t have forever on this planet, so the faster you can make moves, adjust, and reach your goals, the more time you’ll have to enjoy what you worked for. If you’re listening to this show, you probably want to go further in life. That’s why speed matters—so you can get there while you still have time to enjoy it. Let’s talk about how to make that happen. Show Notes: [02:59]#1 How fast you achieve a result matters just as much as the outcome itself. [10:57]#2 Most human beings move at a default speed of no speed.  [19:58]#3 The one thing that makes life what it is accumulated experiences. [23:27]Recap Next Steps: ---

Elon Musk is now running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and a lot of people don’t like it. In this episode, I break down why his plan to cut government waste is making powerful people nervous. Some don’t want the system to change, and DOGE is a big threat to their control. I’ll explain who feels threatened, why it matters, and why so many people are against Musk and this new role. Show Notes: [03:37]#1 They hate it because it's run by Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is standing next to Donald Trump. [11:26]#2 What Doge is actually doing, in case any of you didn't know, they are draining the proverbial swamp.  [29:45]#3 The deeper they look, the more people are getting exposed who really don't want to be exposed. [41:31]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3101: Facts Don't Matter Anymore Next Steps: ---

The best professionals don’t just show up—they show up every day and do the work the right way. In this episode, I talk about what makes some people stay at the top, even in a tough field like the NBA. I share my experience playing with NBA players and what I learned about the difference between the top 1% and everyone else. It’s not just about talent—it’s about habits, instincts, and consistency. Listen in to see how you can use these same traits to stand out in your career. Show Notes: [05:29]#1 Consistent Delivery Without Missing. [12:41]#2 They are skilled enough to be a professional, but not so skilled that they can coast or half ass on execution.  [24:45]#3 They know their role and they play that role perfectly to a T with no mistakes.  [35:30]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1187: 3 Necessary Roles To Fill On A Successful Team 1173: EVERYONE Is A Role Player 891: How To Assume A Leadership Role Anywhere You Go 834: Knowing And Accepting Your Role In Sports, Business and Life Next Steps: ---

Feelings don’t care about your facts—yes, you heard me right. We always hear that facts don’t care about feelings, but the truth is, feelings ignore facts even more. In this episode, I break down why emotions often take over and how you can manage them. Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [03:51]#1 Emotions are more effective and last longer on the human psyche and are more potent on affecting the human psyche than facts and logic. [12:36]#2 You cannot outlogic emotions if your goal is to move someone to action.  [17:47]#3 With a strong enough emotional reason, energy can overcome logical barriers that stop those who don't have strong reasons.

Today, I’m talking about Andrew Tate again. I first spoke about him in episode 2699 when he was getting canceled, and my view was different from what most people were saying. Since then, he’s stayed in the spotlight, and now that his legal issues seem to be winding down, more people are talking about him. Many still have a negative opinion, but I want to break down why that is. I’ll share my perspective and challenge some of the reasons people dislike him.

Winning changes everything. Joel Embiid is a great player, but his team hasn’t won big. In sports and in life, stats and awards don’t matter if you’re not winning. People talk about winners differently than they do about those who fall short. In this episode, I break down that difference and challenge you to think about which conversation people are having about you. Show Notes: [04:23]#1 When you win, there are no sob stories or sympathy necessary.   [11:57]#2 Narrative is optional, not necessary. [27:46]#3 You don't have to explain yourself because your results do all your talking for you.

Men, be smart, not just tough. I share a story about a guy who wouldn’t take no for an answer and how I handled it. I also talk about LeBron James confronting Stephen A. Smith and what we can learn from it. Being tough isn’t always the right move—sometimes, being smart is the real power. Show Notes: [12:15]#1 Ego is expensive.  [20:27]#2 Time cannot be recovered.  [24:49]#3 You do have things to prove as a man.  [31:08]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3224: Men: Stop Being Pussies 3013: Ego & Emotions: Enemies Of Success & Progress 777: How Your Time Perspective Determines Your Success Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audibl

Some say never take no for an answer—but that’s not always smart. At the mall with my son, a guy tried to recruit me for something. I ignored him, but he kept pushing. Two weeks later, he approached me again. He didn’t get it. In business and life, knowing when to walk away matters just as much as persistence.

This is part two of my series on how and why I create so much content. Yesterday, I talked about why I started, what it does for me, and how I use it. Today, I’ll break down the real benefits of making content and why you might want to do it too. You don’t have to create as much as I do, but the strategies I share can still help you.

You’re doing too much, and it’s slowing you down. This episode is all about focus—why having less on your plate actually helps you get more done. You have a job to produce results, and if that’s not happening, I’ll help you figure out why. Let’s cut the extra stuff and get back to what really matters. Show Notes: [02:09]#1 What is your number one goal? You need to know what it is, and your energy and actions should reflect your priority. [10:50]#2  Prepare for the competition. You cannot get the best out of yourselves unless you isolate and prepare just for that and don't do anything else.  [22:48]#3 If you were trying to excel at more than one thing at the same time, you're doing too much.  [24:34]Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiob

Content is free stuff I put out to bring people into my world—whether it’s a podcast, video, or post. I’ve been making content since 2005, starting with basketball, then adding mindset, and now business. I’ve created over 40,000 pieces, including 3,000+ podcast episodes. In this episode, I’ll break down why I do it, how my content has changed over the years, and where I’m taking it next. Show Notes: [03:49]#1 One is observation and opinions.

Today, I’m talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Everyone knows it’s happening, but not everyone understands why or how we got here. I’m no geopolitical expert, but I know how to think logically and break things down. There’s a lot of gray in this situation, and many people are getting it wrong. Since I see so many bad takes out there, I’m stepping in to set the record straight. Show Notes: [03:35]#1 Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has been labeled a dictator.  [07:36]#2 There are myriad reasons that you can draw and talk about with regards to why Russia has invaded Ukraine.  [17:38]#3 A lot of the political left have said that Ukraine has every right to open, quote, defend itself, close quote.
