In this episode, the guys discuss Theodore Roosevelt’s "Man In The Arena" quote that provides a thoughtful perspective on criticism.

Do you believe favor and favoritism have a place in the workplace? In this episode, the guys discuss favoritism in the workplace and what that really means. When you produce, execute, and don't need to be "managed" at work, favoritism naturally occurs. When execution is worshipped, those who regularly execute at the highest levels become the "favorites" by default. If you're not a "work favorite," there's probably a reason why.

Are you a problem solver? Do you complete what you started? In this episode, the guys discuss being solution-oriented and fixing areas in your life that need improving or things that need completion around the house.

In this episode, the guys, alongside guest motivational speaker Inky Johnson, discuss how to change the preset narratives about race & money by operating in facts versus feelings. When it comes to past events, it's essential to have accurate information that promotes a genuine reaction rather than reacting the way someone thinks you should.

As we embark on the New Year, the guys take some time to wrestle with an internal crisis that many of us struggle with at one time or another. There are some situations that warrant having crazy faith. This is where you believe in a positive or promised end, that is not currently visible. This standpoint is contrasted with circumstances in which you are so blinded by what you want, that you are unable to see it for what it is, despite all the contextual clues.

“The more rational your thinking, the more rational your decisions. The more rational your decisions, the probability of the outcomes being great are significantly higher than when you are in an emotional state.” In today’s episode, the guys are discussing the problem of making decisions based on feelings rather than on what is real, factual, and rational.

While listening to this podcast the guys put emphasis on the importance of being excellent at all times. You can’t make next level money with average service and energy, grab yo...

CJ is heated. That's how Karl and ET describe the seriousness of today's topic. Many aspiring entrepreneurs look for guidance and assistance while building their dreams. But on today's podcast, CJ talks about the people who put their success and dreams into others' hands. Do we need coaches to guide us..yes? Do we need people to bounce ideas off of..sure? But CJ's frustration boils over when people depend on others to make things happen. ET, Jemal, and Karl chime in and discuss how and why peopl...

Please go and get a pen and pad! You need to copy and remember every word ET starts this podcast with as he explains his frustration with contradictions. The contradictions of people who say they want success, they’re in the right place to obtain success, have every opportunity to make it happen, but they don’t want to do it what it takes. ET is convinced that the core problem with people who aren’t where they want to be is because they continue to contradict themselves. CJ, Karl, and Jemal chim...

This week on the podcast, the guys continue discussing accountability versus bullying and the very fine line between them. The guys go back to when they started to work together and discuss how their relationships and roles developed over the years. In those early days, their relationships were different and, so were the levels of accountability between them. But, once the vision became clear, the levels of accountability clearly shifted. How did ET deal with it? Was it bullying at the beginning...

Accountability versus bullying. Two terms that most people don't use in the same sentence. Accountability is the obligation to explain, justify, and take responsibility for one's actions. Bullying is someone who intimidates or selfishly coerces people into doing things they don't want to do. Earlier this week, ET discovered that many people live a "bullied life," they've been coerced into, and they're confusing it for accountability. If you're not happy with your life and you find yourself sayin...
