#3415: Why Effort Can Never Beat A System
Raw grit alone will never beat a system. I’ve always told you discipline, effort, and showing up matter but if you don’t put that inside the right system, you’re just burning energy. Too many people buy into hustle culture, thinking effort by itself equals success. The truth is, grit and energy have value, but a solid system will always win. In this episode, I’m breaking down why you need both, and why the system is the real game changer.
Show Notes:
[02:45]#1 Grit eventually burns out.
[10:31]#2 Grit, tries to swim against the currents of chaos.
[15:32]#3 Grit is personal, as is talent, as is willpower as his hard work.

#3414: How The Disciplined Person Still Loses
Discipline is the foundation of everything I teach, and it’s the #1 trait I point to when people ask me what creates success. But here’s the truth: being disciplined alone won’t guarantee the outcome you want. A lot of disciplined people still lose because they use it the wrong way. In this episode, I break down how discipline can backfire, the traps you need to avoid, and what it really takes to make your discipline work for you instead of against you.
Show Notes:
[02:32]#1 Discipline still requires direction.
[05:38]#2 Consistency is not clarity.
[11:49]#3 Discipline is not to be confused with effectiveness.

#3413: The "Failure Hustler"
A lot of people are busy, working hard, trying new things but not actually making progress. That’s what I call failure hustling. It’s when you use “I’m busy” or “I work hard” as a cover for the fact that nothing’s really moving forward. In this episode, I break down what failure hustling looks like, how to know if you’re doing it, and most importantly what to do about it.
Show Notes:
[02:07]#1 You are always grinding but never growing.
[07:47]#2 Your hustle is an identity rather than a strategy.
[17:38]#3 You must outgrow hustling.

#3412: Dominance Is A System - Not A Personality
Dominance is not about personality it’s about systems. A lot of people want to dominate in their space, to be the best and number one at what they do. But the key is understanding that dominance comes from consistent behaviors, not just who you are or how you act in the moment. In this episode, I break down the difference between personality and system, and why getting this distinction right is what will actually put you in that dominant position.
Show Notes:
[01:54]#1 Dominance is repeatable.
[07:21]#2 Systems create consistency.
[11:29]#3 Presence as a systematic byproduct.

#3410: The Lies Of Hustle Culture
Hustle culture has been lying to you. I’ve hustled more than most, so I’m not against hard work, but the way hustle gets sold is all wrong. They make it seem like the only reason someone is successful is because they just outworked everybody else, and that’s simply not true. Yes, hustle and effort matter, but success is not an effort-based game it’s a results-based game. In this episode, I break down the lies of hustle culture and why hard work alone will never be the thing that separates you.
Show Notes:
[06:45]#1 More power equals less sleep.
[17:43]#2 More effort is required for more results.
[24:36]#3 You win by working harder than everybody else.

#3409: #1 Rule Of Marketing: Location, Location, Location!
Location is everything. Just like in real estate, the spot matters more than the house itself, and the same rule applies in business and marketing. You can have the best product or service, but if it’s in the wrong place, it won’t win. On the other hand, something not-so-perfect in the right spot can outperform. In this episode, I break down why location is the number one rule and how it applies to your success.
Show Notes:
[01:15]#1 A big piece of marketing is about how and where you show up.
[09:19]#2 Show up where you can stand up.
[17:47]#3 Branding.
