Ego Mastery, Part 2: What a Loyal and Aligned Ego Looks Like
In Part 2 of the Ego Mastery series, we break down what an aligned, trained ego actually looks like in elite athletes and peak performers, and how it shows up under real pressure. You'll learn: What's happening internally when an athlete is calm, decisive, and locked in Why aligned performers experience low mental noise and faster decision-making How mistakes become data instead of danger The difference between pressure that sharpens and panic that hijacks Why elite performers conserve energy, adapt in real time, and show up when it matters most We also break down what prevents ego alignment, including: No clear vision or higher purpose Lack of structure, plans, and direction for the ego Corrupted internal rules and meanings (the Superego) Unresolved childhood wounds and trauma Protective mechanisms and body-based stress responses that sabotage performance This episode shows you why you can only ride your ego so far, and why real dominance requires clarity, leadership, and alignment from the inside out.

Ego Mastery, Part 1: Ego is NOT the enemy
You've been lied to about the Ego. "Ego is the enemy." "His ego got in the way." "Get rid of your ego." Wrong. Your ego isn't a villain — it's a survival system you created as a child. It's your internal brand, the identity you built to stay safe, get approval, avoid shame, and maintain control. The problem? The same strategies that protected you then are sabotaging you now. In this episode, you'll learn: • What the ego actually is • How and when it was formed • Why it protects you the way it does • How ego strategies create anxiety, procrastination, pressure, and self-criticism • And most importantly, how to retrain your ego so it works for you instead of against you Ego mastery is the foundation of high performance, emotional strength, discipline, and dominance. And if you want real change...deeper confidence, calmer pressure, stronger results...you need someone who can help you see the blind spots your ego hides from you.

BARS: Keep SCORING (Bar from Philthy Rich)
Episode Summary In this Bars episode, Niyi Sobo breaks down the line from Motivational Purpose: "Playas don't keep score, they just keep scoring." Most people chase results out of desperation, hoping wins will finally make them feel worthy. But true killas don't play that game. They align their goals with their core mission, focus on mastery of the process, and act from conviction and power. Wins are just the natural byproduct. If you want to keep scoring, this episode will show you how. Key Takeaways Most people obsess over results, acting from anxiety and desperation. Results can never complete you—they won't give you worth or value. Killers align their goals with their mission and identity. Mastery is about process, not results; power comes from conviction, not need. Keep scoring by enjoying wins without tying them to your identity.

BARS: How to find a good OG (Wisdom from Philthy Rich)
Episode Summary In this Bars episode, Niyi Sobo unpacks a line from Philthy Rich's Searchin: "Listening to the OG's they got the most game!" But not every OG is worth listening to. Niyi breaks down what makes a true OG—someone who leads with mindset, protects the game, has earned their wisdom through scars and experience, and lives as a real example of success. He also exposes the signs of a bad OG: outdated, bitter, tactical without depth. If you're looking for guidance, this episode will help you find the right mentors and avoid the wrong ones. Key Takeaways An OG isn't just older—it's a mentor, guide, and source of wisdom. Good OGs are rare; family, fame, or money don't guarantee wisdom. A true OG leads with mindset, protects their knowledge, and has earned it through real-life wins and losses. A good OG is still learning—they never "retire" from growth. Bad OGs are stuck, bitter, and focus only on surface-level tactics. Next Steps To get coaching and to work with me, Niyi Sobo, go to imnotyou.com/ki and book a free consultation.

The discipline of FOCUS
Winning comes down to one thing: focus. In this episode, Niyi Sobo breaks down why your point of attention determines your thoughts, your actions, and your results. If your focus is off, your actions will be off. But when you learn to control and discipline your focus—directing it toward your goals, your process, and what's actually in your control—you put yourself in position to win. Key Takeaways Focus is the root driver of results—what you focus on shapes everything. Stop wasting energy on problems outside your control. Put your attention on your purpose, your plan, and your process. Daily discipline of focus is what separates champions from everyone else.
