#3251: Dre Defends Andrew Tate - AGAIN
Today, I’m talking about Andrew Tate again. I first spoke about him in episode 2699 when he was getting canceled, and my view was different from what most people were saying. Since then, he’s stayed in the spotlight, and now that his legal issues seem to be winding down, more people are talking about him. Many still have a negative opinion, but I want to break down why that is. I’ll share my perspective and challenge some of the reasons people dislike him.
Show Notes:
[09:15]#1 The world that we live in today is supposedly.
[19:51]#2 Moralizers.
[29:04]#3 Complainers

#3250: What Happens When You Win
Winning changes everything. Joel Embiid is a great player, but his team hasn’t won big. In sports and in life, stats and awards don’t matter if you’re not winning. People talk about winners differently than they do about those who fall short. In this episode, I break down that difference and challenge you to think about which conversation people are having about you.
Show Notes:
[04:23]#1 When you win, there are no sob stories or sympathy necessary.
[11:57]#2 Narrative is optional, not necessary.
[27:46]#3 You don't have to explain yourself because your results do all your talking for you.

#3249: Men: Be Smart, Not "Tough"
Men, be smart, not just tough. I share a story about a guy who wouldn’t take no for an answer and how I handled it. I also talk about LeBron James confronting Stephen A. Smith and what we can learn from it. Being tough isn’t always the right move—sometimes, being smart is the real power.
Show Notes:
[12:15]#1 Ego is expensive.

#3248: Be Smart Enough To Take "No" For An Answer
Some say never take no for an answer—but that’s not always smart.
At the mall with my son, a guy tried to recruit me for something. I ignored him, but he kept pushing. Two weeks later, he approached me again.
He didn’t get it. In business and life, knowing when to walk away matters just as much as persistence.
Show Notes:
[12:10]#1 Your time is limited.
[17:30]#2 Dignity and Respect
[25:03]#3 Persistence and tenacity are indeed virtues in the sales world.

#3246: How (And Why) I Create Endless Content [Part 1 of 2]
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.

#3245: You're Doing Too Much
You’re doing too much, and it’s slowing you down. This episode is all about focus—why having less on your plate actually helps you get more done. You have a job to produce results, and if that’s not happening, I’ll help you figure out why. Let’s cut the extra stuff and get back to what really matters.
Show Notes:
[02:09]#1 What is your number one goal? You need to know what it is, and your energy and actions should reflect your priority.
[10:50]#2 Prepare for the competition. You cannot get the best out of yourselves unless you isolate and prepare just for that and don't do anything else.
[22:48]#3 If you were trying to excel at more than one thing at the same time, you're doing too much.

#3244: On The Russia - Ukraine Conflict
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.
[25:39]#4 Ukraine is a beautiful place.

#3243: Psychographic Alignment: The Key To Your Business Future [Part 2 of 2]
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.

#3242: Psychographic Alignment: The Key To Your Business Future [Part 1 of 2]
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.
