Work On Your Game: Discipline, Confidence & Mental Toughness For Personal & Professional Development

This is part two of the series on why there will be no middle class. Today, we’re talking about three big shifts: automation and outsourcing are taking jobs from people in the U.S. by using cheaper labor overseas, education and health care are getting cheaper because of technology, and while it’s cheaper to build houses, that doesn’t mean they’ll sell for less—prices depend on what sellers can get.  Tune in to see how these changes will affect your future and what you can do about it. Show Notes: [02:16]#4 Automation and outsourcing. [09:29]#5 Education and healthcare costs are increasing. [15:48]#6 Housing affordability.  [20:43]Recap Episodes Mentioned 3045: Always Be The Buyer 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/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

Today’s topic is simple: there will be no middle class. This is the first part of a four-part series where I’ll explain why the middle class is going away and what that means for you. In the future, you’ll either move up to the upper class or drop down to the lower class—there won’t be an in-between. If you’re in the middle class now, you need to start planning.  Let’s break it all down so you can understand what’s coming and what to do about it. Show Notes: [07:29]#1 The US government's $35 trillion in debt. They cannot give you money because they don't have any. [13:36]#2 Every time they put more money in circulation, the value of your dollar goes down. [26:12]#3 If you are not getting raises as quickly as your costs are going up, you are sinking and you're about to be underwater.

When you meet someone who’s great at what they do, do you know what to ask them?  In this class, we’ll talk about the key questions to ask high performers—whether you’re one yourself or not. I’ll explain how to spot a high performer, even if you don’t know much about their field, and why most people either ask the wrong questions or nothing at all. These simple, universal questions will help you learn from the best no matter what they do.  Ready? Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [05:46]#1 What are you doing that everybody else is not doing?

Here’s the final part of our series, The Future-Proof Skills You Need. We’re covering four big ones today. First, personalized care—because some people just want to deal with a human, not a machine. Next, relationship building—who you know and who knows you can help you get more done. Then, persuasion—the skill to move people to act or make decisions. And last, storytelling—because stories stick with people way more than facts ever will. Let’s finish strong! Show Notes: [02:12]#10 Personalized care.  [10:00]#11 Relationship building.

We’re back with part three of our series, The Future-Proof Skills You Need. Today, we’re talking about three big ones. First, inspiring and motivating people—because humans need other humans for that, not just computers. Then, learn from experience—yours and other people’s—so you don’t keep making the same mistakes. And finally, resilience—showing up and sticking to it, no matter what’s going on. Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [02:34]#7 Inspiring and motivating others.  [12:15]#8 Learning from experience.

We’re back with part two of the four-part series on future-proof skills. If you missed the first episode, make sure you check it out so you know what this is all about. Today, we talked about three key skills: contextual understanding (seeing the full picture, not just the surface), original thought (standing out by thinking for yourself), and artistic expression (creating things only humans can make). These skills will always matter, no matter how much the world changes. Part three drops tomorrow—don’t miss it! Show Notes: [02:28]#4 Contextual understanding. [09:39]#5 Original thought.

This is the first part of a four-part series on future-proof skills. I’ve talked about this idea before, but I realized I’ve never done full episodes breaking it down. These are the skills that will always matter, no matter how much technology or society changes.  In this class, we’ll talk about what these skills are, why they’re so important, and how to start building them. The more of these you have, the more valuable you’ll stay—no matter what’s going on in the world. Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [04:13]#1 Communication skill.  [12:45]#2 Conflict resolution.

In this class, we talk about why people complain and how to make it useful. Complaining can actually help you get moving if you use it to push yourself to take action. But here’s the thing: keep it in your head, not out loud, and use it to find a solution. I’ll explain why you might still complain even after hearing this, and how to turn that energy into something positive.  Listen in to learn how to turn complaining into progress!

Confidence is what most people want, and discipline is what they know they need, but many get it wrong when trying to build or use confidence.  In this class, I’ll break down the common mistakes and show you how to fix them.

We’re picking up right where we left off in this second part of The Power of Showing Up. Here’s the key: when you show up consistently, you build momentum, and things start moving in your favor. This works for both positive and negative actions, but let’s assume you’re aiming for the positive. Consistency also helps you stand out because most people aren’t reliable, and being dependable can set you apart in a big way. Lastly, success builds when you tackle multiple goals at once instead of waiting to do them one at a time.  That’s how you create big changes in life. Tune in now to hear how to apply these ideas!

Today, we’re talking about why showing up is so important. It’s not enough to know what to do or even be good at it—you’ve got to actually show up and do the work. Whether it’s hitting the gym, recording a podcast, or just being where you need to be, showing up is how you give yourself a chance for good things to happen.  If there’s somewhere you know you need to be but haven’t been going, this masterclass is for you. Show Notes: [03:02]#1 Most people don't stick to anything long-term or consistently. [12:37]#2 Not everything reveals itself as a winner on the first day.

Let’s talk about work-life balance. Back in the day, nobody was talking about this—it wasn’t even a thing. People just went to work, did their job, and figured out life around it. But now, everyone seems focused on making more time for life outside of work.  In this class, I’m breaking down why focusing on work might actually be the key to creating the life you want. I’ll explain it all in three simple points. Show Notes: [04:34]#1 What you do is who you are. [10:51]#2 The sales industry is not regulated by the clock. [16:38]#3 The more you excel at your work, the easier your life will be because you'll be able to afford whatever it is you want your life to look like.  [22:25]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 956: What You Do IS Who You Are 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/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

In this masterclass, we continue our series on how journalism lost its way. We discuss how consolidation and corporate control are shaping news reporting. As smaller companies are bought by larger ones, journalists face pressure to follow the company's agenda or risk losing their jobs. This has led to a loss of trust from the public, who can see that the media isn’t always being truthful. With the rise of citizen journalism, everyone is now looking for information on their own, which makes it hard to agree on what’s true. This shift in how we get our news has created confusion and division. Show Notes: [02:17]#7 Consolidation and corporate influence over news reporting.  [11:29]#8 Decline in public trust. [17:32]#9 Citizen journalism.

We’re back with part two of the series, How Journalism Destroyed Itself. Today, we’re picking up with point number four: how platforms started leaning heavily to one side, forcing the public to pick sides too. From there, we dive into point five—how journalism has cannibalized itself by doubling down on biases to keep their audiences happy—and point six, the chaos caused by 24/7 news cycles, where they create stories just to fill the time.  Whether it’s “fake news” or straight-up lies, the truth is simple: they know exactly what they’re doing.

This is the first of a three-part series about how journalism killed itself. I’ve been saying this for years—since episode 2016, to be exact. In this series, I’ll break down the choices the journalism industry made that led to its downfall. These weren’t things that happened to them; they did this to themselves.  Listen in to understand why most mainstream media can’t be trusted and why you should think twice before believing anyone who calls themselves a journalist. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [04:03]#1 Journalism is designed to get to the truth. [10:21]#2 Social media got popular and journalists decided that they should start trying to compete. [22:52]#3 The result is they started fishing for serving dopamine hits instead of serving the truth and serving journalism like they're supposed to be.

In today’s class, we’re talking about the difference between what contributes to your situation and what determines your outcome. External stuff might play a role, but it’s your internal decisions that make the final call. I will break it down and explain why you’ve got to make decisions for yourself—because if you don’t, life will decide for you, and you probably won’t like the result.  Tune in to learn how to take charge and own your outcomes. Show Notes: [03:28]#1 A contributing factor is externalities.  [15:46]#2 Determining factors are the internal stuff. [25:20]#3 Contributing factors exist to give you the option to use or not use your determining factors.

In today’s class, we’re talking about how to "turn on" and stay on. Inspired by Vince Carter’s Hall of Fame career and the critics he got about not always being fully activated, I will break down how this applies to all of us. Whether it’s in life, work, or anything you care about, the key is knowing how to turn yourself on and keep the momentum going. I’ll share simple tips to help you show up and bring your best every time. Show Notes: [05:33]#1 Have a reason to be on all the time.  [14:12]#2 Remind yourself of your reasoning until it becomes a habit.  [18:56]#3 Allow yourself to be pushed by outside sources.

In today’s class, we’re talking about the other part of the 80/20 rule. You’ve probably heard of it—80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. This is a real principle, not just a theory or opinion. We’ll look at that final 20%, why it matters sometimes and why it doesn’t always. You can use this rule in your work, sales, happiness, and productivity.  Let’s figure out when that last 20% actually makes a difference! Show Notes: [02:42]#1 Once you have achieved 80% of results with 20% of inputs, that's often good enough.  [13:25]#2 You can afford to invest 80% of your resources in getting to the last 20% of results because that last 20% can make a big difference. [22:18]#3 The mistake happens when we have already achieved 80% of the result, yet we keep working at giving inordinate amounts of resources to get small returns that do not produce rewards.  [25:45]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2177: When "Good Enough" Is Good Enough 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/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

Today’s class is about the power of negative thinking. You might not think negative thoughts have any value, but they do—if used the right way. It’s not about letting negativity take over, but about using it strategically when the time calls for it. I’ll explain how to use negative thinking to your advantage, when it’s helpful, and why it’s just as important as positive thinking. Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [03:10]#1 Negative energy is still energy, and it can be transmuted into action that produces positive results. [10:55]#2 Considering where things could possibly fail or not go according to plan is a good strategy.  [17:03]#3 Some people are more wired to respond to negative words or thoughts than they are wired to respond to positive material.  [21:28]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2704: The Positive Power Of Negative Thinking 1068: Why You Need To Play More "Road Games" In Life 362: How To Win The "Road Games" Of Life 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/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!
