From Jay Glazer’s first pillar of an Unbreakable Mindset:
Find out who the best is… and do more than them.
That’s it.
Life isn’t complicated.
It’s simple.
Not easy—but simple.
In this episode, I break down what that really means:
• Why most people stay stuck (even with unlimited access to greatness).
• The one question you have to answer before anything changes.
• How legends like Tony Gonzalez, Kobe Bryant, and others separate themselves.
• And why time is both your greatest advantage—and your biggest excuse.
You don’t need more information.
You need a decision.
If you want the straightest path forward—this is it.
Find the best.
Outwork them.
Let’s get it!

00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:00.349
Alright.
00:00:00.349 --> 00:00:01.909
3, 2, 1. Let's do this.
00:00:01.969 --> 00:00:05.299
Welcome to another episode of What's Your Problem, the podcast.
00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:13.759
And today we're gonna rock out of Jay Glazer's book, Unbreakable I did reach out to him after I read this book a couple years back.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.989
I reached out to him, dmd him, see if he would come on and share his story.
00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:19.879
Crickets.
00:00:22.429 --> 00:00:23.809
And dude, lemme tell you something.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.230
This isn't what I was gonna talk about, but lemme tell you something.
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.144
This is the reason.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.609
Why I have done a solo podcast for so many years.
00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:39.289
I felt like I had to build up this street cred back in 2017.
00:00:39.289 --> 00:00:46.159
I built up this street cred so that way I could have the, the, the well-known people on my podcast.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:46.490
Why?
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:48.289
Because that's what everybody else was doing.
00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:53.960
And it was finally, this was at the pivotal point when I was at rock bottom.
00:00:54.289 --> 00:00:57.529
It was demoted, bankrupt, depressed.
00:00:58.475 --> 00:01:04.384
Homeless, like I was at the bottom rung in life, man, and I was like, fuck it man.
00:01:04.384 --> 00:01:19.385
I'm gonna start a podcast and I can have anybody I want to on my, on my podcast because I have books and I like to read for ideas and interpret that on what it means to me.
00:01:19.385 --> 00:01:20.974
And I'm just gonna share that.
00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:22.370
As I live it.
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.709
And that's how the podcast came about in 2017.
00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:33.950
And, you know, damn bro, we're, we're, we're almost 10 years into this.
00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:36.920
What a, what a what a ride it's been.
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:43.489
But I say that to say that no one or no thing is standing in your way.
00:01:43.489 --> 00:01:46.129
You just gotta work around whatever the obstacle is.
00:01:46.939 --> 00:01:49.280
The obstacle is the way, like Ryan Holiday says.
00:01:49.849 --> 00:01:51.890
So you just gotta work around it.
00:01:52.340 --> 00:02:01.549
And so I read Jay Glazer's book sometime back, and you know, they sometimes when you read things.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.900
You forget about him and I, in my random reading.
00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:13.219
I just grabbed his book off the shelf, haven't read it in in many years and thumbed it to the back of the book.
00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:16.949
And it was something, I don't remember reading any of this section right here.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.340
Um, but it was the five pillars.
00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:25.409
Of building or creating an unbreakable mindset.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.759
The first pillar, and this is the one I want to emphasize on, is find out who the best is.
00:02:33.169 --> 00:02:34.039
Do more than them.
00:02:35.748 --> 00:02:38.748
And I was like, oh, tell me more.
00:02:39.229 --> 00:02:41.419
He said, literally it's, it's that simple.
00:02:41.718 --> 00:02:45.649
It's not easy because you gotta put in the work, but it's literally that simple.
00:02:46.128 --> 00:02:51.769
Find out where you wanna be in life and do more than everyone else it takes to get there.
00:02:52.669 --> 00:02:53.838
Outwork the world.
00:02:54.019 --> 00:02:54.558
Love that.
00:02:54.799 --> 00:02:55.968
Outwork the world.
00:02:56.658 --> 00:02:59.000
That's the magic bullet for success.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.250
It's right there in front of your face.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.969
So the first thing I want to ask you, do you even know what you want?
00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:15.409
Napoleon Hill calls it a Definiteness of Purpose because if you don't know what you're gunning for, if you don't know what you want in life, don't, don't worry about how.
00:03:16.444 --> 00:03:18.094
The how's gonna take care of itself.
00:03:18.304 --> 00:03:21.844
Don't worry about when it's what you do for when it happens anyway.
00:03:22.025 --> 00:03:23.435
So don't worry about any of that.
00:03:23.914 --> 00:03:37.835
But if you do this, if you know what you want, I don't care how far fetched it is, bro, if I sat down and told you at going on 53 years old, what, what I want, you'd be like, whoa.
00:03:38.435 --> 00:03:43.354
And in, in, in my carnal mind, I could sit here and say, oh.
00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:47.330
You're half of a hundred is too late.
00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:50.120
No, I'm gonna show you what's possible on the other side of too late.
00:03:50.569 --> 00:03:53.810
That's the, that's the thing I bang my drum on every single day.
00:03:54.139 --> 00:04:04.009
And so number one is find out what you want to be in life and then do more than everyone else that takes to get there.
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:05.810
Now let me explain something to you.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.555
You have access to legends.
00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:11.360
Most people don't even realize this.
00:04:11.629 --> 00:04:14.210
Most people don't even take this into account.
00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:22.790
There's never been a time in life, I mean, go back, I don't know, 30 years, 40 years, go back a hundred years.
00:04:24.470 --> 00:04:26.389
Nobody had access to legends.
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:27.829
Nobody had access.
00:04:28.894 --> 00:04:35.394
Firsthand access to Carnegie or Cornelius Vanderbilt or JP Morgan.
00:04:35.904 --> 00:04:40.795
I mean, those guys created their wealth in a shroud of secrecy anyway.
00:04:41.185 --> 00:04:44.185
Like they didn't want you to know what they were doing.
00:04:44.394 --> 00:04:55.944
And there has never been a time in life where not only do you have access to legends of the past, but you also have access to living legends.
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.843
Right there in your phone.
00:05:00.473 --> 00:05:01.283
It's right here.
00:05:02.273 --> 00:05:11.182
And what most people are doing is they're scrolling, consuming what everybody else is doing in life instead of leveraging.
00:05:11.617 --> 00:05:17.348
The power of technology in creating a life that they want.
00:05:17.497 --> 00:05:19.567
You have access to legends.
00:05:21.247 --> 00:05:24.668
Find out who's the best, whatever it is that you want.
00:05:24.997 --> 00:05:41.108
Find out who the best is and do more than them, and you have access to that through digital books, through physical books, through social media, through podcasts, through YouTube videos, all of that.
00:05:41.827 --> 00:05:48.682
through AI all of that is free literally at your fingertips.
00:05:50.235 --> 00:05:50.596
Yet.
00:05:50.745 --> 00:05:51.586
What are you doing with it?
00:05:53.175 --> 00:05:59.805
See, time is the great equalizer, but it's also the greatest separator.
00:06:00.255 --> 00:06:03.165
No one has more time than you yet.
00:06:03.165 --> 00:06:05.146
No one has less time than you either.
00:06:05.896 --> 00:06:06.196
Okay?
00:06:06.745 --> 00:06:08.276
It's the greatest equalizer.
00:06:08.846 --> 00:06:11.545
You, you, there's no unfair advantage here.
00:06:11.906 --> 00:06:21.326
Everybody from the rich and famous to the, the poor and desolate, we all have the same 24 hours in a day.
00:06:22.165 --> 00:06:34.375
Yet it's also the greatest separator because even though we all have the same time, most people don't make productive use of their time by number one.
00:06:34.990 --> 00:06:36.250
Figuring out what you want.
00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:38.860
Number two, finding out who the best is.
00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:42.011
Number three, doing more than them.
00:06:43.391 --> 00:06:48.850
And while you do that, you have access anytime anywhere.
00:06:49.091 --> 00:06:51.310
Elon Musk can ride to work with me.
00:06:52.031 --> 00:06:55.721
Steve Jobs is right there on my nightstand in the middle of the night.
00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:02.021
Andrew Carnegie is right there while an NBA game is playing on tv.
00:07:03.326 --> 00:07:07.466
I'm hanging out with him, watching the game with him, reading his book.
00:07:07.975 --> 00:07:08.815
It's right there.
00:07:09.685 --> 00:07:17.425
It's right there, but most people are just sitting here floating around in life , and don't do anything with it.
00:07:19.565 --> 00:07:21.065
In this chapter, Jay Glazer.
00:07:22.266 --> 00:07:24.396
Points out as one of his best friends.
00:07:24.396 --> 00:07:27.005
Tony Gonzalez, hall of Famer, Tony Gonzalez.
00:07:27.425 --> 00:07:38.495
Yet one thing I didn't realize, the first two seasons of Tony Gonzalez, NFL career, he was mediocre at best, like as in practice squad.
00:07:38.586 --> 00:07:46.605
And I bet you, he was the best in college and I'm sure he was disillusioned.
00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:55.680
And got into the NFL thinking because he was at the highlight, the high of the high dominant in his collegiate career.
00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:59.880
And then you get to the NFL, my God, everybody is big.
00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:01.951
Everybody is fast.
00:08:02.281 --> 00:08:04.050
Everybody is strong.
00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:08.550
And the first two years, man, he had to recalibrate like he was benched.
00:08:09.331 --> 00:08:11.040
But see something changed.
00:08:11.850 --> 00:08:15.721
He caught a whiff of find out who the best is.
00:08:17.011 --> 00:08:27.031
And they do more than them because Gonzalez, he, he realized that it's one thing to be fast and strong, but then what's it take to be successful?
00:08:27.721 --> 00:08:30.571
You gotta catch the ball and you gotta do something with it.
00:08:31.021 --> 00:08:45.301
So where most people we're catching only 15 balls in practice and relying on their natural talents that had gotten them into the NFL and probably led up, they were just working out in the weight room, probably working on speed.
00:08:45.885 --> 00:08:49.066
No, he said Also, I'm gonna figure out, I'm gonna catch more balls.
00:08:49.456 --> 00:08:53.505
So before practice, he caught 50 to 75 balls.
00:08:53.716 --> 00:08:55.966
During practice, he caught 150.
00:08:55.966 --> 00:08:58.966
After practice, he caught another 75.
00:08:58.966 --> 00:09:00.765
He did that every single day.
00:09:01.035 --> 00:09:08.985
Don't you know that third year he became a pro bowler, and 13 out of 14 seasons he was a pro bowler.
00:09:09.765 --> 00:09:14.086
Now he's a hall of famer and considered one of the best.
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:25.201
Actually the best in his position because nobody has caught more balls or ran more yards in his position.
00:09:26.581 --> 00:09:29.551
Find out who the best is, and do more than them.
00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:32.890
You look at other legends also.
00:09:33.350 --> 00:09:35.510
The first person who came to mind was Kobe Bryant.
00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:36.770
Kobe Bryant.
00:09:37.475 --> 00:09:41.615
Where most NBA professionals were working out twice a day.
00:09:42.306 --> 00:09:43.745
He worked out four times a day.
00:09:44.346 --> 00:09:57.846
He did that every single day, and by the time the rest of the league figured out what he was doing, he was so far down the runway that even if they copied what he was doing, he was well beyond them.
00:09:58.475 --> 00:10:01.475
Because he even said, I'm watching a documentary on him now.
00:10:01.686 --> 00:10:04.355
He even told somebody like he was 18 years old.
00:10:04.745 --> 00:10:08.676
With the Lakers and told one of his teammates, I'm better than Michael Jordan.
00:10:10.326 --> 00:10:10.895
Boom.
00:10:11.285 --> 00:10:12.096
But he studied them.
00:10:12.916 --> 00:10:14.745
Jerry Rice, same thing.
00:10:15.466 --> 00:10:20.265
One of the best wide receivers in the NFL 49 ERs fame.
00:10:20.993 --> 00:10:32.123
He wasn't the fastest or most talented on his team or in the league, but the mechanics of, even in practice, he caught the ball and sprinted to the end zone every single time.
00:10:32.572 --> 00:10:35.692
See, what he did is he worked on that where it was muscle memory.
00:10:35.812 --> 00:10:40.852
Tony Gonzalez didn't just catch before practice, during practice, after practice.
00:10:41.633 --> 00:10:47.363
75 balls before practice, 150 balls during practice, 75 at the end of practice.
00:10:47.393 --> 00:10:48.743
He didn't just do that.
00:10:49.342 --> 00:11:04.190
He also simulated game time experience, meaning that his chin strap was buckled, his eyes were wide, he caught the ball, tucked it, and moved with it because it's one thing to just catch the ball, then you gotta do something with it.
00:11:05.690 --> 00:11:06.950
See, this is what I'm talking about.
00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:12.029
Find out who the best is and outwork 'em back to the book.
00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:20.610
A true sign of greatness is the work you put in when nobody's watching, when nobody is pushing or demanding that you finish a set.
00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:22.259
Or a workout.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:31.830
It's the hours you spend by yourself training, studying, watching, film, practicing, and working on your craft.
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:35.399
Drew Brees even echoed it sometimes.
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.429
Trying to be great, is lonely at the end of the day, man, it's your decision.
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.299
And it's really the magic bullet for success.
00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:57.296
I mean, if you wanted any hack to success, Jay Glazer even says this, if you want greatness in any field, this pillar, find out who the best is and do more than them.
00:11:57.716 --> 00:12:03.176
This pillar is the straightest path to getting there and living your dreams.
00:12:03.581 --> 00:12:09.100
But see, it all boils down to a decision, and it means that you gotta be relentless.
00:12:09.311 --> 00:12:17.583
It means that sometimes you gotta be a disaster before you become the master and you just go through it and you keep going and you keep going.
00:12:17.583 --> 00:12:21.610
You get through that messy middle man, those dark times where everybody else turns back.
00:12:22.625 --> 00:12:28.684
I get, I get tremendous joy out of just, I'm, I'm barreling in on a thousand episodes.
00:12:28.684 --> 00:12:40.144
It's not just a thousand episodes, it's a thousand episodes of commitment where everybody else, there are a bunch of people, man, that I've met along the way who were starting a podcast right around the same time.
00:12:40.573 --> 00:12:41.110
been stopped.
00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:44.169
And that's something, man I do it in the podcast.
00:12:44.169 --> 00:12:45.700
I do it in my creative career.
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.710
I do it in my professional career.
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.059
I do it in my fitness.
00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:50.080
It's the same thing.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.090
I'm dusting your ass.
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.409
I just keep showing up.
00:12:53.710 --> 00:12:55.029
I just keep being consistent.
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.169
I just keep laying the brick.
00:12:56.955 --> 00:12:59.715
Find out who the best is and outwork 'em.
00:13:00.105 --> 00:13:02.364
And that's what I'm banging the drum to.
00:13:02.813 --> 00:13:06.173
But at the end of the day, back to my point, it's a decision that you gotta make.
00:13:06.683 --> 00:13:12.683
And the decision that you make are gonna either carry consequences or benefits either way.
00:13:12.683 --> 00:13:13.464
You gotta live with them.
00:13:13.734 --> 00:13:22.014
It's the decision to not do it and to just coast and to do just enough and to just enjoy today.
00:13:22.403 --> 00:13:23.124
Fuck it.
00:13:23.828 --> 00:13:26.229
Okay, well then there's the consequences.
00:13:26.229 --> 00:13:26.798
Deal with it.
00:13:27.219 --> 00:13:38.499
But then also, if you do find out who the best is and do more than them fucking outwork the world, well there's gonna be a benefit to that.
00:13:39.609 --> 00:13:41.438
There's no other way you will succeed.
00:13:42.038 --> 00:13:42.519
Why?
00:13:43.119 --> 00:13:44.019
Because you won't quit.
00:13:44.918 --> 00:13:46.389
Alright, let's get outta here.
00:13:46.389 --> 00:13:46.958
Keep it simple.
00:13:46.958 --> 00:13:47.528
Keep it moving.
00:13:47.528 --> 00:13:48.038
Never settle.
00:13:48.038 --> 00:13:48.578
Stay tough.
00:13:48.578 --> 00:13:48.908
Peace.
00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:00.349
Alright.
00:00:00.349 --> 00:00:01.909
3, 2, 1. Let's do this.
00:00:01.969 --> 00:00:05.299
Welcome to another episode of What's Your Problem, the podcast.
00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:13.759
And today we're gonna rock out of Jay Glazer's book, Unbreakable I did reach out to him after I read this book a couple years back.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.989
I reached out to him, dmd him, see if he would come on and share his story.
00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:19.879
Crickets.
00:00:22.429 --> 00:00:23.809
And dude, lemme tell you something.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.230
This isn't what I was gonna talk about, but lemme tell you something.
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.144
This is the reason.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.609
Why I have done a solo podcast for so many years.
00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:39.289
I felt like I had to build up this street cred back in 2017.
00:00:39.289 --> 00:00:46.159
I built up this street cred so that way I could have the, the, the well-known people on my podcast.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:46.490
Why?
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:48.289
Because that's what everybody else was doing.
00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:53.960
And it was finally, this was at the pivotal point when I was at rock bottom.
00:00:54.289 --> 00:00:57.529
It was demoted, bankrupt, depressed.
00:00:58.475 --> 00:01:04.384
Homeless, like I was at the bottom rung in life, man, and I was like, fuck it man.
00:01:04.384 --> 00:01:19.385
I'm gonna start a podcast and I can have anybody I want to on my, on my podcast because I have books and I like to read for ideas and interpret that on what it means to me.
00:01:19.385 --> 00:01:20.974
And I'm just gonna share that.
00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:22.370
As I live it.
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.709
And that's how the podcast came about in 2017.
00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:33.950
And, you know, damn bro, we're, we're, we're almost 10 years into this.
00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:36.920
What a, what a what a ride it's been.
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:43.489
But I say that to say that no one or no thing is standing in your way.
00:01:43.489 --> 00:01:46.129
You just gotta work around whatever the obstacle is.
00:01:46.939 --> 00:01:49.280
The obstacle is the way, like Ryan Holiday says.
00:01:49.849 --> 00:01:51.890
So you just gotta work around it.
00:01:52.340 --> 00:02:01.549
And so I read Jay Glazer's book sometime back, and you know, they sometimes when you read things.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.900
You forget about him and I, in my random reading.
00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:13.219
I just grabbed his book off the shelf, haven't read it in in many years and thumbed it to the back of the book.
00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:16.949
And it was something, I don't remember reading any of this section right here.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.340
Um, but it was the five pillars.
00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:25.409
Of building or creating an unbreakable mindset.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.759
The first pillar, and this is the one I want to emphasize on, is find out who the best is.
00:02:33.169 --> 00:02:34.039
Do more than them.
00:02:35.748 --> 00:02:38.748
And I was like, oh, tell me more.
00:02:39.229 --> 00:02:41.419
He said, literally it's, it's that simple.
00:02:41.718 --> 00:02:45.649
It's not easy because you gotta put in the work, but it's literally that simple.
00:02:46.128 --> 00:02:51.769
Find out where you wanna be in life and do more than everyone else it takes to get there.
00:02:52.669 --> 00:02:53.838
Outwork the world.
00:02:54.019 --> 00:02:54.558
Love that.
00:02:54.799 --> 00:02:55.968
Outwork the world.
00:02:56.658 --> 00:02:59.000
That's the magic bullet for success.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.250
It's right there in front of your face.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.969
So the first thing I want to ask you, do you even know what you want?
00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:15.409
Napoleon Hill calls it a Definiteness of Purpose because if you don't know what you're gunning for, if you don't know what you want in life, don't, don't worry about how.
00:03:16.444 --> 00:03:18.094
The how's gonna take care of itself.
00:03:18.304 --> 00:03:21.844
Don't worry about when it's what you do for when it happens anyway.
00:03:22.025 --> 00:03:23.435
So don't worry about any of that.
00:03:23.914 --> 00:03:37.835
But if you do this, if you know what you want, I don't care how far fetched it is, bro, if I sat down and told you at going on 53 years old, what, what I want, you'd be like, whoa.
00:03:38.435 --> 00:03:43.354
And in, in, in my carnal mind, I could sit here and say, oh.
00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:47.330
You're half of a hundred is too late.
00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:50.120
No, I'm gonna show you what's possible on the other side of too late.
00:03:50.569 --> 00:03:53.810
That's the, that's the thing I bang my drum on every single day.
00:03:54.139 --> 00:04:04.009
And so number one is find out what you want to be in life and then do more than everyone else that takes to get there.
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:05.810
Now let me explain something to you.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.555
You have access to legends.
00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:11.360
Most people don't even realize this.
00:04:11.629 --> 00:04:14.210
Most people don't even take this into account.
00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:22.790
There's never been a time in life, I mean, go back, I don't know, 30 years, 40 years, go back a hundred years.
00:04:24.470 --> 00:04:26.389
Nobody had access to legends.
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:27.829
Nobody had access.
00:04:28.894 --> 00:04:35.394
Firsthand access to Carnegie or Cornelius Vanderbilt or JP Morgan.
00:04:35.904 --> 00:04:40.795
I mean, those guys created their wealth in a shroud of secrecy anyway.
00:04:41.185 --> 00:04:44.185
Like they didn't want you to know what they were doing.
00:04:44.394 --> 00:04:55.944
And there has never been a time in life where not only do you have access to legends of the past, but you also have access to living legends.
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.843
Right there in your phone.
00:05:00.473 --> 00:05:01.283
It's right here.
00:05:02.273 --> 00:05:11.182
And what most people are doing is they're scrolling, consuming what everybody else is doing in life instead of leveraging.
00:05:11.617 --> 00:05:17.348
The power of technology in creating a life that they want.
00:05:17.497 --> 00:05:19.567
You have access to legends.
00:05:21.247 --> 00:05:24.668
Find out who's the best, whatever it is that you want.
00:05:24.997 --> 00:05:41.108
Find out who the best is and do more than them, and you have access to that through digital books, through physical books, through social media, through podcasts, through YouTube videos, all of that.
00:05:41.827 --> 00:05:48.682
through AI all of that is free literally at your fingertips.
00:05:50.235 --> 00:05:50.596
Yet.
00:05:50.745 --> 00:05:51.586
What are you doing with it?
00:05:53.175 --> 00:05:59.805
See, time is the great equalizer, but it's also the greatest separator.
00:06:00.255 --> 00:06:03.165
No one has more time than you yet.
00:06:03.165 --> 00:06:05.146
No one has less time than you either.
00:06:05.896 --> 00:06:06.196
Okay?
00:06:06.745 --> 00:06:08.276
It's the greatest equalizer.
00:06:08.846 --> 00:06:11.545
You, you, there's no unfair advantage here.
00:06:11.906 --> 00:06:21.326
Everybody from the rich and famous to the, the poor and desolate, we all have the same 24 hours in a day.
00:06:22.165 --> 00:06:34.375
Yet it's also the greatest separator because even though we all have the same time, most people don't make productive use of their time by number one.
00:06:34.990 --> 00:06:36.250
Figuring out what you want.
00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:38.860
Number two, finding out who the best is.
00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:42.011
Number three, doing more than them.
00:06:43.391 --> 00:06:48.850
And while you do that, you have access anytime anywhere.
00:06:49.091 --> 00:06:51.310
Elon Musk can ride to work with me.
00:06:52.031 --> 00:06:55.721
Steve Jobs is right there on my nightstand in the middle of the night.
00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:02.021
Andrew Carnegie is right there while an NBA game is playing on tv.
00:07:03.326 --> 00:07:07.466
I'm hanging out with him, watching the game with him, reading his book.
00:07:07.975 --> 00:07:08.815
It's right there.
00:07:09.685 --> 00:07:17.425
It's right there, but most people are just sitting here floating around in life , and don't do anything with it.
00:07:19.565 --> 00:07:21.065
In this chapter, Jay Glazer.
00:07:22.266 --> 00:07:24.396
Points out as one of his best friends.
00:07:24.396 --> 00:07:27.005
Tony Gonzalez, hall of Famer, Tony Gonzalez.
00:07:27.425 --> 00:07:38.495
Yet one thing I didn't realize, the first two seasons of Tony Gonzalez, NFL career, he was mediocre at best, like as in practice squad.
00:07:38.586 --> 00:07:46.605
And I bet you, he was the best in college and I'm sure he was disillusioned.
00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:55.680
And got into the NFL thinking because he was at the highlight, the high of the high dominant in his collegiate career.
00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:59.880
And then you get to the NFL, my God, everybody is big.
00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:01.951
Everybody is fast.
00:08:02.281 --> 00:08:04.050
Everybody is strong.
00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:08.550
And the first two years, man, he had to recalibrate like he was benched.
00:08:09.331 --> 00:08:11.040
But see something changed.
00:08:11.850 --> 00:08:15.721
He caught a whiff of find out who the best is.
00:08:17.011 --> 00:08:27.031
And they do more than them because Gonzalez, he, he realized that it's one thing to be fast and strong, but then what's it take to be successful?
00:08:27.721 --> 00:08:30.571
You gotta catch the ball and you gotta do something with it.
00:08:31.021 --> 00:08:45.301
So where most people we're catching only 15 balls in practice and relying on their natural talents that had gotten them into the NFL and probably led up, they were just working out in the weight room, probably working on speed.
00:08:45.885 --> 00:08:49.066
No, he said Also, I'm gonna figure out, I'm gonna catch more balls.
00:08:49.456 --> 00:08:53.505
So before practice, he caught 50 to 75 balls.
00:08:53.716 --> 00:08:55.966
During practice, he caught 150.
00:08:55.966 --> 00:08:58.966
After practice, he caught another 75.
00:08:58.966 --> 00:09:00.765
He did that every single day.
00:09:01.035 --> 00:09:08.985
Don't you know that third year he became a pro bowler, and 13 out of 14 seasons he was a pro bowler.
00:09:09.765 --> 00:09:14.086
Now he's a hall of famer and considered one of the best.
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:25.201
Actually the best in his position because nobody has caught more balls or ran more yards in his position.
00:09:26.581 --> 00:09:29.551
Find out who the best is, and do more than them.
00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:32.890
You look at other legends also.
00:09:33.350 --> 00:09:35.510
The first person who came to mind was Kobe Bryant.
00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:36.770
Kobe Bryant.
00:09:37.475 --> 00:09:41.615
Where most NBA professionals were working out twice a day.
00:09:42.306 --> 00:09:43.745
He worked out four times a day.
00:09:44.346 --> 00:09:57.846
He did that every single day, and by the time the rest of the league figured out what he was doing, he was so far down the runway that even if they copied what he was doing, he was well beyond them.
00:09:58.475 --> 00:10:01.475
Because he even said, I'm watching a documentary on him now.
00:10:01.686 --> 00:10:04.355
He even told somebody like he was 18 years old.
00:10:04.745 --> 00:10:08.676
With the Lakers and told one of his teammates, I'm better than Michael Jordan.
00:10:10.326 --> 00:10:10.895
Boom.
00:10:11.285 --> 00:10:12.096
But he studied them.
00:10:12.916 --> 00:10:14.745
Jerry Rice, same thing.
00:10:15.466 --> 00:10:20.265
One of the best wide receivers in the NFL 49 ERs fame.
00:10:20.993 --> 00:10:32.123
He wasn't the fastest or most talented on his team or in the league, but the mechanics of, even in practice, he caught the ball and sprinted to the end zone every single time.
00:10:32.572 --> 00:10:35.692
See, what he did is he worked on that where it was muscle memory.
00:10:35.812 --> 00:10:40.852
Tony Gonzalez didn't just catch before practice, during practice, after practice.
00:10:41.633 --> 00:10:47.363
75 balls before practice, 150 balls during practice, 75 at the end of practice.
00:10:47.393 --> 00:10:48.743
He didn't just do that.
00:10:49.342 --> 00:11:04.190
He also simulated game time experience, meaning that his chin strap was buckled, his eyes were wide, he caught the ball, tucked it, and moved with it because it's one thing to just catch the ball, then you gotta do something with it.
00:11:05.690 --> 00:11:06.950
See, this is what I'm talking about.
00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:12.029
Find out who the best is and outwork 'em back to the book.
00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:20.610
A true sign of greatness is the work you put in when nobody's watching, when nobody is pushing or demanding that you finish a set.
00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:22.259
Or a workout.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:31.830
It's the hours you spend by yourself training, studying, watching, film, practicing, and working on your craft.
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:35.399
Drew Brees even echoed it sometimes.
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.429
Trying to be great, is lonely at the end of the day, man, it's your decision.
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.299
And it's really the magic bullet for success.
00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:57.296
I mean, if you wanted any hack to success, Jay Glazer even says this, if you want greatness in any field, this pillar, find out who the best is and do more than them.
00:11:57.716 --> 00:12:03.176
This pillar is the straightest path to getting there and living your dreams.
00:12:03.581 --> 00:12:09.100
But see, it all boils down to a decision, and it means that you gotta be relentless.
00:12:09.311 --> 00:12:17.583
It means that sometimes you gotta be a disaster before you become the master and you just go through it and you keep going and you keep going.
00:12:17.583 --> 00:12:21.610
You get through that messy middle man, those dark times where everybody else turns back.
00:12:22.625 --> 00:12:28.684
I get, I get tremendous joy out of just, I'm, I'm barreling in on a thousand episodes.
00:12:28.684 --> 00:12:40.144
It's not just a thousand episodes, it's a thousand episodes of commitment where everybody else, there are a bunch of people, man, that I've met along the way who were starting a podcast right around the same time.
00:12:40.573 --> 00:12:41.110
been stopped.
00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:44.169
And that's something, man I do it in the podcast.
00:12:44.169 --> 00:12:45.700
I do it in my creative career.
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.710
I do it in my professional career.
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.059
I do it in my fitness.
00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:50.080
It's the same thing.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.090
I'm dusting your ass.
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.409
I just keep showing up.
00:12:53.710 --> 00:12:55.029
I just keep being consistent.
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.169
I just keep laying the brick.
00:12:56.955 --> 00:12:59.715
Find out who the best is and outwork 'em.
00:13:00.105 --> 00:13:02.364
And that's what I'm banging the drum to.
00:13:02.813 --> 00:13:06.173
But at the end of the day, back to my point, it's a decision that you gotta make.
00:13:06.683 --> 00:13:12.683
And the decision that you make are gonna either carry consequences or benefits either way.
00:13:12.683 --> 00:13:13.464
You gotta live with them.
00:13:13.734 --> 00:13:22.014
It's the decision to not do it and to just coast and to do just enough and to just enjoy today.
00:13:22.403 --> 00:13:23.124
Fuck it.
00:13:23.828 --> 00:13:26.229
Okay, well then there's the consequences.
00:13:26.229 --> 00:13:26.798
Deal with it.
00:13:27.219 --> 00:13:38.499
But then also, if you do find out who the best is and do more than them fucking outwork the world, well there's gonna be a benefit to that.
00:13:39.609 --> 00:13:41.438
There's no other way you will succeed.
00:13:42.038 --> 00:13:42.519
Why?
00:13:43.119 --> 00:13:44.019
Because you won't quit.
00:13:44.918 --> 00:13:46.389
Alright, let's get outta here.
00:13:46.389 --> 00:13:46.958
Keep it simple.
00:13:46.958 --> 00:13:47.528
Keep it moving.
00:13:47.528 --> 00:13:48.038
Never settle.
00:13:48.038 --> 00:13:48.578
Stay tough.
00:13:48.578 --> 00:13:48.908
Peace.
