In this episode, I interview Devin Williams. Among many things, Devin is a basketball trainer, video editor, GoPro and Adidas brand ambassador, and overall creative mastermind. His deep love for basketball allowed him to excel further past his dream of playing in the NBA one day. Failure wasn't an option for Devin. In fact, his craft was discovered "randomly"...

It's important to realize that life will test you. Obstacles will drop right in front of you to prevent you from reaching your goals and dreams... When that day comes, what will you do?

Whether it be your education, career, or relationship, you need to figure out how to power through the tough parts. Taking responsibility of your current situation, using my "Owning Technique" will teach you to stand your ground, and commit to everlasting growth! Ready to take it up a notch?

A conversation with Trinidad & Tobago's boxing ambassador and middleweight champion, Daniel Hayes, is my next step to getting nicer with the hands! Training as a boxer takes an incredible amount of endurance, agility, and mental strength (among many other skills of course). It's a whole other world, competing individually as opposed to team play. Daniel breaks down the beginning of his athletic career as he played for many team sports, with the reason for switching up his main focus, to become an absolute monster in the ring. Got your gloves handy? Listen up!   Some Questions I Ask: Why'd you choose to become a boxing? How does it appeal to you? How did you feel without picking up sports after college? How do you stay motivated for long-term goals? Are you calm/focused before your fights? Do you have any pre-fight routines? What is the key, to remain calm under pressure? What were some specific mistakes of yours? How'd you learn from them? What are your most critical daily habits?   How to get in touch

Gratitude is a word that's thrown out there a lot...But if you think it's "corny" or "positive thinking", then you're not doing it right. In this episode, I share with you a very special piece of me. And you'll be surprised at the guest I have in the studio with me. Get ya mind right!

Let's be real here... In order to outlast your opponent in whatever it is that you do, you must be better. It's common sense, ain't it? Anyone can compete just as well as you; but what separates you from your opponent, is the HUNGER within. It's that drive... That strength... That, killer instinct! Here's the truth. Everyone has that 'killer instinct' within them, just waiting to be unlocked. How you ask? That's why I'm here. Take notes and listen up. It takes practice to be unstoppable. Key Points: Knowing what prevents the instinct to become real Understanding the power of belief Preventing the weakness to outweigh our potential 15 tips to bring out the best version of you Why creating an alter-ego is the best move for you As always, if you're diggin' the podcast, please rate and review the show on iTunes!
