Work On Your Game: Dominate With Mindset, Strategy & Execution

Content is free stuff I put out to bring people into my world—whether it’s a podcast, video, or post. I’ve been making content since 2005, starting with basketball, then adding mindset, and now business. I’ve created over 40,000 pieces, including 3,000+ podcast episodes. In this episode, I’ll break down why I do it, how my content has changed over the years, and where I’m taking it next. Show Notes: [03:49]#1 One is observation and opinions. [09:41]#2 Stealing and borrowing.  [18:39]#3 Breaking down and explaining things.

Today, I’m talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Everyone knows it’s happening, but not everyone understands why or how we got here. I’m no geopolitical expert, but I know how to think logically and break things down. There’s a lot of gray in this situation, and many people are getting it wrong. Since I see so many bad takes out there, I’m stepping in to set the record straight. Show Notes: [03:35]#1 Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has been labeled a dictator.  [07:36]#2 There are myriad reasons that you can draw and talk about with regards to why Russia has invaded Ukraine.  [17:38]#3 A lot of the political left have said that Ukraine has every right to open, quote, defend itself, close quote.

This is part two of our series on psychographic alignment—if you missed part one, go back and listen so you’re caught up. In this masterclass, I talk about why people connect more with why you do something, not just what you do. I also break down how drawing a clear line between you and your “enemy” (like long work hours or bad habits) makes it easier to attract the right people. And most importantly—do people really know what you stand for? Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [01:45]#4 Someone's connection to why you do things matters more than what you specifically do. [16:33]#5 The best way to create psychographic alignment is to "do what politicians do". [33:37]#6 What you stand for must be clear to your audience.

You’ve heard of demographics—age, income, location. But psychographics? That’s where the real connection happens. In this masterclass, I break down the difference and explain why understanding how people think is more important than just knowing who they are. I share how psychographic alignment helped me build a loyal audience, even after I stopped making basketball content.  If you want people to stick with you long-term, this is a must-know. Let’s get into it—part one of a two-part series! Show Notes: [08:23]#1 People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. [16:48]#2 The stuff that you actually deliver does not matter nearly as much is that people feel aligned with you mentally, emotionally and with your values and principles.    [23:48]#3 People buy into personalities more than they buy into anything that is rational or logical.  [30:44]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1364: Rejection Marketing: Drawing People In By Turning Them Away 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!

This is part one of a two-part series on the belief that black people have to work twice as hard to get the same opportunities as others. You’ve probably heard this idea before—maybe you even believe it. But is it actually true? In this masterclass, I break down where this belief comes from, why so many people accept it without question, and whether or not it holds up to logic. Tune in as I challenge common assumptions and give you a different perspective on the topic. Show Notes: [06:27]#1 Most of you motherfuckers ain't doing shit when it comes to hard work.   [19:40]#2 You do sometimes need to be significantly better or more accomplished depending on what space you're stepping into and who you are competing against. [27:47]#3 Business and the professional world are not meritocracies. Your qualification is highly subjective.

Today, I’m picking up where we left off in The Case for Homeschooling series. In this masterclass, I talk about three big benefits: having a flexible schedule, giving kids one-on-one attention, and creating a safer learning space.  Kids learn better when they get the help they need without the pressure of a big classroom. Don’t miss out on tomorrow's episode! Show Notes: [02:33]#7 More flexible schedule.  [11:03]#8 Customize and one-on-one attention. [21:06]#9 A safer learning environment.

This is part two of our series on whether black people really have to work twice as hard. If you missed part one, go back and check it out first. Today, I’m breaking down why many black people have been conditioned to play the wrong game—falling into a victim mindset instead of focusing on strategy. Some people do need to work ten times harder, not because of their skin color, but because they simply aren’t good enough yet. And let’s be clear—equity and equality are myths. You can’t manufacture sameness among people. Tune in to hear the real game you need to be playing. Show Notes: [02:19]#4 A lot of black folks have been conditioned to play the wrong game.This is the game of victimhood. [10:51]#5 Some of you need to work ten times harder because you're garbage. You should be working ten times harder because you ain't shit.  [24:20]#6 Equity and equality are myths.  [33:15]Recap 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!

Too many people spend their time living through others instead of focusing on their own lives. In this class, I break down what it means to live vicariously and why it’s a problem. Whether it’s celebrities, athletes, or influencers, watching their lives won’t change yours. If you’re stuck in this habit, it’s time to shift your focus. I’ll explain why this happens and how to start putting that energy into your own success. Show Notes: [03:49]#1 You must see the person in the mirror as the star of your life's movie. [10:50]#2 Collective success. [2158]#3 Anything you expect of someone else, put that same expectation on yourself.  [26:46]Recap 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!
