#3385: A Message To The "Old Heads" [Part 2 of 2]
This is part two of my message to the old heads specifically the men 35 and up. Stop trying to fit in with the younger generation. You ain’t supposed to dress like them, talk like them, or follow their trends. Your job is to set the standard, not chase theirs. Be the example they want to live up to, not the peer they want to hang with. Age with pride and give the next generation something worth aiming at.
Show Notes:
[00:49]#4 Stop trying to relate to your younger generations
[10:09]#5 Be a standard bearer for the next generation.
[14:52]#6 Age gracefully.

#3384: A Message To The "Old Heads" [Part 1 of 2]
In this episode, I’m talking directly to the old heads of men 35 and up, especially those of y’all who interact with younger dudes. I explain what “old head” means and where the term came from, at least from my experience growing up. If you’re 40+, you definitely qualify. This is part one of a two-part message, so if that’s you, tune in today and tomorrow. I got something real specific y’all need to hear.
Show Notes:
[02:21]#1 Past stories are unwanted.
[05:22]#2 Nobody wants to hear about your past, what you used to do, who you used to be, what you used to have going on.
[15:48]#3 Keep doing things that matter.

#3382: Clarity Is A Revenue Strategy
In this episode, I break down how clarity is not just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have if you want to make real money. When your thoughts, actions, and intentions are all aligned, you move faster and with more purpose. I’ve seen it with high school athletes and six-figure entrepreneurs alike. If you're unclear, you're stuck. Clarity answers the big questions before they even become problems, and that’s what puts you in position to actually earn. Let’s talk about how getting clear can start putting dollars in your pocket.

#3381: Stop "Helping" People For Free And Undervaluing Yourself!
If you’ve ever found yourself giving away your expertise for free this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why you need to stop "helping" people without charging, especially if you’re in a service-based or intellectual property business. A lot of us do it out of kindness or because we know the person could really benefit, but that’s not a good enough reason to keep doing it. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or someone who just “can’t pay right now,” I’ll tell you why that habit has to end today. So let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[01:59]#1 People do not appreciate what they have not invested in.
[17:13]#2 You are devaluing your help and devaluing yourself when you give people help for free.
[28:07]#3 Professional level help demands professional level investments.
