We’re back with part two of the four-part series on future-proof skills. If you missed the first episode, make sure you check it out so you know what this is all about.
Today, we talked about three key skills: contextual understanding (seeing the full picture, not just the surface), original thought (standing out by thinking for yourself), and artistic expression (creating things only humans can make). These skills will always matter, no matter how much the world changes. Part three drops tomorrow—don’t miss it!

#3136: Why People Complain
In this class, we talk about why people complain and how to make it useful. Complaining can actually help you get moving if you use it to push yourself to take action. But here’s the thing: keep it in your head, not out loud, and use it to find a solution. I’ll explain why you might still complain even after hearing this, and how to turn that energy into something positive.
Listen in to learn how to turn complaining into progress!
Show Notes:
[03:16]#1 Complaining is a mental and emotional crutch used to avoid and stay away from responsibility.
[11:27]#2 Professional and career growth hack.

#3134: The Power Of Showing Up [Part 2 of 2]
We’re picking up right where we left off in this second part of The Power of Showing Up. Here’s the key: when you show up consistently, you build momentum, and things start moving in your favor. This works for both positive and negative actions, but let’s assume you’re aiming for the positive. Consistency also helps you stand out because most people aren’t reliable, and being dependable can set you apart in a big way. Lastly, success builds when you tackle multiple goals at once instead of waiting to do them one at a time.
That’s how you create big changes in life. Tune in now to hear how to apply these ideas!
Show Notes:
[02:12]#4 Creating momentum through consistent showing up.
[12:10]#5 Building a reputation for reliability.
[17:30]#6 Compounding success.

#3133: The Power Of Showing Up [Part 1 of 2]
Today, we’re talking about why showing up is so important. It’s not enough to know what to do or even be good at it—you’ve got to actually show up and do the work. Whether it’s hitting the gym, recording a podcast, or just being where you need to be, showing up is how you give yourself a chance for good things to happen.
If there’s somewhere you know you need to be but haven’t been going, this masterclass is for you.
Show Notes:
[03:02]#1 Most people don't stick to anything long-term or consistently.
[12:37]#2 Not everything reveals itself as a winner on the first day.
[16:49]#3 Preparation can't meet opportunity if you're not present.

#3132: You Don't Want "Work-Life Balance"
Let’s talk about work-life balance. Back in the day, nobody was talking about this—it wasn’t even a thing. People just went to work, did their job, and figured out life around it. But now, everyone seems focused on making more time for life outside of work.
In this class, I’m breaking down why focusing on work might actually be the key to creating the life you want. I’ll explain it all in three simple points.
Show Notes:
[04:34]#1 What you do is who you are.
[10:51]#2 The sales industry is not regulated by the clock.
[16:38]#3 The more you excel at your work, the easier your life will be because you'll be able to afford whatever it is you want your life to look like.

#3131: How Journalism Destroyed Itself [Part 3 of 3]
In this masterclass, we continue our series on how journalism lost its way. We discuss how consolidation and corporate control are shaping news reporting. As smaller companies are bought by larger ones, journalists face pressure to follow the company's agenda or risk losing their jobs. This has led to a loss of trust from the public, who can see that the media isn’t always being truthful. With the rise of citizen journalism, everyone is now looking for information on their own, which makes it hard to agree on what’s true. This shift in how we get our news has created confusion and division.
Show Notes:
[02:17]#7 Consolidation and corporate influence over news reporting.
[11:29]#8 Decline in public trust.
[17:32]#9 Citizen journalism.

#3130: How Journalism Destroyed Itself [Part 2 of 3]
We’re back with part two of the series, How Journalism Destroyed Itself. Today, we’re picking up with point number four: how platforms started leaning heavily to one side, forcing the public to pick sides too. From there, we dive into point five—how journalism has cannibalized itself by doubling down on biases to keep their audiences happy—and point six, the chaos caused by 24/7 news cycles, where they create stories just to fill the time.
Whether it’s “fake news” or straight-up lies, the truth is simple: they know exactly what they’re doing. Let’s break it all down.
Show Notes:
[02:09]#4 Journalism started leaning heavily to one side, forcing the public to pick sides too.

#3129: How Journalism Destroyed Itself [Part 1 of 3]
This is the first of a three-part series about how journalism killed itself. I’ve been saying this for years—since episode 2016, to be exact. In this series, I’ll break down the choices the journalism industry made that led to its downfall. These weren’t things that happened to them; they did this to themselves.
Listen in to understand why most mainstream media can’t be trusted and why you should think twice before believing anyone who calls themselves a journalist. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[04:03]#1 Journalism is designed to get to the truth.
[10:21]#2 Social media got popular and journalists decided that they should start trying to compete.
[22:52]#3 The result is they started fishing for serving dopamine hits instead of serving the truth and serving journalism like they're supposed to be.
