The poems in *Crushing It* by Jennifer L. Knox are characterized by their darkly imaginative and surreal nature, traversing a wide range of subjects from history to true crime to epidemiology. The collection is marked by its expansive and autobiographical poems, which explore the complexities of identity and the difficulty of words. Knox’s poetry is known for its assertive and daring voice, combining self-deprecating humor with a wide-ranging imagination. Despite its morbid and disturbing elements, the book grounds readers in the knowledge of underlying tenderness and compassion[1][3][4].
I gave this keynote at the NAC Success Resources event in 2019 — and I went deep on the real shit that holds people back. It’s not lack of resources. It’s not bad luck. It’s entitlement, insecurity, and the need to impress others instead of doing what actually makes you happy.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck or not moving fast enough, this episode is a wake-up call. I break down the 5 core pieces of value that I believe will unlock your path to success — and most of them have nothing to do with business tactics and everything to do with mindset.
Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this talk will push you to get brutally honest with yourself and start executing.
👇 We talk about:
Why accountability is the gateway to happiness
How entitlement is sabotaging your growth
What I learned from immigrants about money
The illusion of success on social media
Building businesses around what you love
Why you need to stop buying dumb sh*t 💳
Crushing it on LinkedIn and Instagram with $0
Why losing early builds you up later
The real ROI of patience and long-term execution
🧠 This isn’t just motivation — this is a blueprint. Let’s go.
