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

Today, we’re talking about how to argue. Arguing isn’t just about jumping in and yelling your opinion—it’s about sharing your reasons and backing them up with evidence to make your point clear. I’ll teach you how to do it right, so people understand where you’re coming from, even if they don’t agree. You won’t always win, but you’ll know how to stand your ground and make sense. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [04:46]#1 What Is the goal? [09:13]#2 Learn to seed ground and use the Steel man approach. [21:15]#3 Make fewer solid points over many weaker points.

In the final part of our three-part series, we break down "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and its connection to cognitive dissonance. What happens when beliefs clash with reality? Most people avoid the hard truth—the red pill—because it challenges their intellect and ego, opting instead for the comfort of the blue pill. We also discuss how access to endless, out-of-context information has made society more divided and ignorant. The question is: will you face reality or stick to what feels safe? The choice is yours. Show Notes: [02:46]#8 When Trump wins another election people experience this cognitive dissonance of their beliefs clashing with reality. [10:26]#9 Most people live their entire lives taking the blue pill rather than the red pill.  [20:11]#10 The world we live in now, where we can access information anywhere at any time, was supposed to make us smarter and more informed, but it's actually made us dumber, more divided, and people have dug into their own belief systems.  [24:02]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!

In part two of this series on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), I break down where it comes from and why it happens. The key idea is cognitive dissonance—when beliefs clash with reality, how do you respond? Most people avoid challenging their beliefs because their ego is tied to being "right." Highly educated individuals are especially vulnerable to this because they often believe their credentials make them immune to being wrong. Stay open-minded and willing to question what you think you know. Show Notes: [02:26]#5 What do we do in the moment when our beliefs clash with reality? [06:17]#6 Challenge your beliefs.  [20:47]#7 Here's the problem: Most people aren't critical thinkers.  [32:53]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2337: Eat The Meat, Spit Out The Bones 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, I’m talking about Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase before, or maybe this is your first time hearing it, but you probably get what it means right away. I’ve touched on this topic a lot during my live streams, but I wanted to record it here so it’s on the official record. This platform is where I share my thoughts clearly and completely, without distractions. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [04:46]#1 TDS is actually cognitive dissonance as the tension that occurs when reality and your beliefs come into conflict.  [16:30]#2 First belief: Trump is a bad, unqualified person. [18:52]#3 Second belief: Most people are smart, logical, and morally upstanding. [24:37]#4 Third belief: There's no way the majority could vote for Trump.

In this masterclass, I’m talking about what preparation looks like. This question came up during sales training sessions I’ve done, and it applies to anyone in sales—or anyone who’s selling something, even if it’s just yourself. Since we’re all in sales in one way or another, this will help everybody.  Today, I’ll share four points, and I’ll cover the rest in the next episode. Let’s get started. Show Notes: [04:11]#1 What is the goal? [10:10]#2 Knowing your offerings or your products or your services, whatever they happen to be, inside and out.  [17:05]#3 Know your clients and know your opposition better than either knows themselves.

In part two of this series on why college is a scam, I break down a few more key issues. First, not all degrees are equal, and simply having one doesn’t always put you in a better position. Then, I talk about credential inflation—how companies started requiring more advanced degrees while colleges and banks profited by charging more and giving out more loans. Finally, I discuss how degrees used to mean a lot, but that’s not the case anymore, even though many people still hold onto outdated beliefs. It’s important to understand where others' beliefs come from to avoid being misled. Show Notes: [02:39]#4 People have bad ideas of what a degree means because they are not all created equal.  [20:07]#5 The credential inflation. [28:52]#6 Degrees meant a lot between 1970 and 2000, but that’s not the case anymore.

In part three of this series on why college is a scam, I focus on three key points. First, college courses often teach theory but lack practical skills—you don’t truly know something until you’ve done it and can teach it. Second, the money you’re borrowing is funding those beautiful campuses, not necessarily your education. Finally, some careers like medicine, law, or engineering need a degree, but for many others, relationships and real-world experience matter more than grades. Think carefully about what you need before committing to college. Show Notes: [02:10]#7 College courses teach theory and information, not practical skills.  [16:44]#8 The high cost of tuition pays for campus amenities and staff salaries. [24:58]#9 Some careers need degrees, but many don’t.

In this class, I talk about why I believe college is a scam. I’ve been saying for a while that the whole education system in the U.S. is messed up. The government and colleges teamed up with good intentions, but now people are stuck with student debt they can’t pay off. I also talk about the book The Debt Trap by Josh Mitchell, which goes into how the system got so bad. Even if you're not dealing with student loans, understanding this can help you make smarter choices. Show Notes: [07:11]#1 I went to college and I would go back.  [16:33]#2 How did college get pushed on us?  [27:20]#3 Increased costs that are not balanced out by wages.  [33:18]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 199: The SCAM that is The American Education System 1578: How I Would Do My College Years Differently 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!
