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 He also exposes the signs of a bad OG: outdated, bitter, tactical without depth.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.
