You feel me, Salute to you man, I really truly genuinely appreciate you. Hey man. This episode we covered that true leadership is not a performance reserved for big moments. Y'all know those big moments. Y'all know those big moment leaders. Yeah, it's a pattern built through repeated habits. The objective is to help the family, understand how habits how a habit, identity, self trust, and intentional systems remove friction, making leadership the natural expression. Of who they have become. You feel me, man, Salute the phoenix, newon thea is junior in a building aka the artist. What's up with you? Bro? Yeah? Yeah, so top of the day, man, top of the day. Grab your coffee, and I want to ask you something. Have you ever noticed how some people only become leaders when everybody's watching? Y'all? God, hit on it, y'all, don't be y'all. Don't don't short me on my theme emojis today, don't show don't short me on my theme emojis today, because we definitely most certainly finna come with it. Yeah, because you know I ain't lying. Do you. Notice how some people only become leaders when everyone is watching, When the lights are wrong, they know exactly what to say, uh uh, they know how to sound discipline, they know how to how to look responsible, they know how to how to inspire others. Yeah, but then the meeting ends, you feel me. Then the meeting ends and the. Lights go off. Who shut the lights out? The lights go off, nobody's watching anymore, and then suddenly the leadership disappears. Yeah, suddenly the leadership disappears. Why why because they were not leading. They were not leading. They were merely performing. You feel me. They were merely performing. That's it. They were performing. Yeah, yeah, See, performance requires an audience. Leadership, doesn't, you feel me. Leadership is who you are when no one is looking. That's what I've learned in my forty eight years of living. You understand what I'm talking about. That's what I've learned in my forty eight years. Yeah, whole lot of gen X shit. Performance requires an audience. Leadership, doesn't Leadership is who you are when no one is looking. And that's today's verdict. You know, I'm judgmental in a little bit. I'm more judgmental than a little bit. And I'm coming in and I'm telling you that that's my verdict for the day. Leadership reaches its highest level when it no longer depends on motivation and it becomes your default behavior. Yeah. See, family, the goal isn't to become a better actor. The goal isn't to become a better actor. The goal is to become the kind of person who naturally does the right thing, who naturally does the right thing, without applause, without recognition, You feel me, without any external pressure, because real leadership is not an event. It is not a theatrical performance. It's not an event. It's a habit. Let's get it. One. So I'm hustled harder than the moment. I'm a feast on these streets. Got a revolver. I talk for these niggas trying to take me off the block where I points up daily sit Bailey's out the bottles. Smoke, Yes, indeed, yes, indeed. Salute family, y'all, y'all. Shout out to the family.

Man, come on over to the hub. Salute to you all, man. So let's let's let's get to it. So let's talk about identity for a minute. Let's talk about identity for a minute. You know, I'm a hold on. Let me show the new let me show the new drop. You know what I'm saying. Let me let me let me show the new drop. Man. You feel me? They say, Man, you gotta come on, man, where the brand and that? Where the new drop? How how you got the black Coffee Club and you're not up there with your black Coffee club? Mug duh duh. So let's talk about identity. People love saying I'm trying to become disciplined, trying to become organized, I'm trying to become a leader. You feel me. Here's my here's here's my question. What are you repeatedly doing? What are you repeatedly doing? Because I don't really I'm not really in this world of I'm not really in this world of trying. It's either we're doing it or we're not. You feel me. It's too much, it's too much bullshit that can get in a way when you try. I'm trying to become more disciplined, I'm trying to become more organized, trying to become a leader. I'm trying try and try and know, what are you repeatedly doing? Because identity, your identity is not built by intention, you feel me, It's not built by what you're intending to do. Nah, it's not. It's built by repetition. Yeah, you are the shit that you do repeatedly. I don't know if you feel me. You know how you you know, you got people in your life that like do suck a shit and they always, no matter how, they come back to them doing some sucker shit. Might be your kinfolk, might be some of y'all got siblings. Y'all know, y'all got siblings that be on that sucker shit. Some of y'all got cousins, aunties, uncles. I ain't you know, your mama, your daddy, some of y'all grandmas be on some on that sucker shit. I ain't gonna lie to you, and they do sucker shit repeatedly, and I ain't. I'm not trying to talk about your grannies. I don't want no smoke with nobody like I don't want no dust up. Not talking about your daddy, not talking about your mama, I'm not talking about your punk ass kids. But just maybe they just might be suckers because they do sucker shit repeatedly. So maybe, just maybe, just maybe it's a shot in the dark, but just maybe consider the fact that they might be suckers because your identity is what you do repeatedly. You feel me. It's not built by it's not what you intended. Do you intend to be a good person? Growing? What's all? What's up with your hommie? You? You intend to be a man of integrity, you feel me, you intend to be a woman of standard. But what do you do repeatedly? Why sports battan my sister in a building? What's up with you? What are you repeatedly doing? Yeah? Every habit casts a vote. Everything that you do, every habit casts a vote. Yeah. Every decision that you make leaves evidence. Every repeated action tells your mind. This is who we are, you feel me, this is who we are. Yeah, So for a second, we always got to come back to the fundamentals. Think about brushing your teeth. Think about brushing your teeth. When is the last time you brush your teeth, and then you stood up on the sink and raised your arms in victory. You feel me? When is the last time you brush your teeth and started screaming in celebration. You don't celebrate it, right, You don't need an external motivation. You don't watch a motivational video first and then go brush your teeth. You feel me? Nah, you simply do it. You simply do it. Why because it has become a part of your identity. Yeah, yeah, jelly Bean said, we too, He said, we too big to stand up on the sink. Junior. Hey, man, Yeah, but I ain't. I'm stupid enough to try it. Bro, salutor Ab, what's up with you? Yeah, I'm stupid enough to try it. Man, Hey, shout out big days. They're having a new addition to the tribe today. He said, his daughter is having his new grandson and today fam congratulations, man, congratulate the daughter. And I'm really petitioning the ancestors, man and the spirit guys and the creator for a smooth transition into this world. Man. That's that's excellent news, bro, excellent news. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, excellent news. Man. Yeah, but you don't watch a motivational video first. You just simply do it because it's become a part of your identity. Leadership should become just as normal. Leadership should become just as normal. Yeah. Hell thh hell hell shit showing up on time? Do you understand? Like I've really got into this space and I'm always running behind? You feel me? I'm always running behind, and so I've come to this space now and this is like a very very new thing, right. I hate being late, Like I hate being late every time that I'm behind schedule or I'm walking in at the time, something starts like I hate being late, and then I'm also hard on myself because like I literally have written a self help book on time management, you feel me, I literally curate an annual planner for people to get control of their lives and control of their schedules and so on and so forth, And then I got the asinine ou dacy to show up somewhere late, you feel me? Nah man, showing up on time keeping, your word, preparing, following through, telling the truth, managing your emotions, these should not feel extraordinary, Like these things that I just said should not feel extraordinary. Did you hear what I said? Showing up on time keeping your word, following through, preparing, telling the truth, managing your emotions. These should not feel extraordinary. They should feel expected, like those are expectations that you should have for yourself. Yeah, yeah, they should feel expected, King Vonney, what's up with you? Hammy? This is something, This is something I want you to remember. I think this might be a bar too, Nella, Nella, I think this one might be a bar. This one might be a bar. I just spoke to King Vonnie like he ain't been here. Salute to my brother, King Vonnie. This is something I want you to remember. For those of y'all that be writing down all my note takers, write this down. Leadership becomes automatic when good behavior stops being a special event. Leadership becomes automatic when good behavior stops being a special event. Period. Don't rise to leadership by accident. You repeat it, and you repeat it until it becomes your identity. Now, this is now, now, now, this is a warning, though, This is the warning. Habits don't care whether they're good or bad. Have you already said that before? Your habits they don't care if they're good or bad? Like your habits don't care your cabins. Don't give up, don't give a shit if they're good or bad. Bad habits also become automatic, you feel me. Procrastination becomes automatic. Y'all can give me my y'all can give me my theme emojis because I'm talking to you. Procrastination becomes automatic. Excuses become automatic. Complaining becomes automatic. You ever talk to somebody and the first thing come out their mouth is a complaint? You feel me. You can't even say hi, good, You can't speak, y'all, can't have a conversation without a motherfucker complaining. Complaining becomes automatic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Avoidance becomes automatic. Yeah yeah. So the question, the question most certainly ain't will my habits lead me? The question is which habits are already leading me? And that's a question that you have to ask yourself. Which of your habits are already leading you right now? Which habits are leading me? Yeah? So let's go deeper, Come on, Nell, let's go deeper. Why does leadership feel difficult for so many people? Because the last thing people want to do is be a leader. People say, no, I don't want to be a leader. When it's opportunities for people to lead, they go, they move to the back. I don't want to be a leader. I don't wait. I don't want to make no decisions. I don't want that responsibility. I'm cool with just being a team player. I just want to be a part of the team. I'm cool. Why does leadership feel difficult to so many people? Y'all ready for this, because this, y'all gonna y'are probably gonna be mad mad at me because some of y'all are those I don't want to be a leader, man, I just want to be I just want to be a part of the team. I want to come do my job and hit the dough. I don't want to be a leader. Why does leadership feel difficult to so many for so many people, y'all gonna. Be mad at me, man, y'all gonna be mad at me. Why does leadership feel so difficult to so many people? Because they don't trust themselves? Because they don't trust themselves. You welcome, you welcome, You welcome because they do not trust themselves. Think about it. Every time you promise yourself you gonna wake up early, you gonna wake up early. I'm going to work out. I'm gonna stop procrastinating today, I'm gonna start that shit, I'm gonna make that call. I'm gonna finish that project. I just push myself in the nose. Ooh, I just pushed myself in the nose. I'm gonna finish that project. And then you don't you leave a crack in your own credibility. You leave a cracking your own credibility. Let me hurry up and get out of here before I get emotional. Yeah, and eventually your mind starts expecting disappointment. Ain't that some shit that your mind starts expecting disappointment from you. I disappoint myself so tough that my mind expects disappointment. I'm disappointing myself right now. You feel me? I get man, my mind expects disappointment. That's dangerous, man, that's dangerous because self doubt is gonna create hesitation, while self trust creates movement. Think about these spaces, in these areas where you actually trust yourself and it's automatically, it's automatic, You automatically move you feel me automatic and automatic. Self trust creates movement. And here's one of the most important pieces of truth that you're gonna hear today. Shit, probably this week, probably this week. You know, we get around and we listen to these videos, and we listen to these people talk, we listen to these gurules, we go listen to these motivational speeches and all of that shit. And this is I mean, it's with all due respect, shout out to those those people who create those those content, those pieces of content, so on and so. Forth, saluted them. This is no by no means it's this any disperspect But you you do not need any more hype. Did you hear me? You do not need any more hype. You don't need any more hype. You need more evidence. You need more evidence. Yeah, yeah, you need more evidence. You don't need no more hype. You don't need no more motivation. You need more evidence, evidence that you keep your word, evidence that you finish, evidence that you show up, evidence that you execute. Every kept promise to yourself becomes another receipt, let alone, to the external world. Every kept promise becomes another receipt. It's another reminder I'm someone I can count on. You feel me. Think about that and think about us, and I'm and and come on, jen X, think about us, and think about how we in these spaces where you feel like you ain't got nobody that you can count on. You ain't got nobody that you can trust. You ain't got nobody that you can call when the chips is down, Like, nah, man, I ain't I gotta rely on me, I gotta trust mes, so on and so forth. So imagine being in this space and being honest with yourself and realizing that I can't count on myself. Yeah, and that's why it's so powerful for you to provide that evidence. I'm someone I can count on. You feel me, I'm someone I can count on. And that's why leadership eventually feels effortless, not become life. Not because life becomes easier, that ain't it. It's because you have accumulated enough evidence to stop questioning yourself and eventually the whole conversation changes. You stop asking, man, can I do this, and you start saying, shit, this is what I do. Like this is what I this is what I do. That's identity. That's leadership. You feel me when you come in here every day, or when we come in here. I ain't gonna say every day, but when we come in here, you're going to get We're gonna have a conversation and it's gonna be chuck chock full of news that you can use because this is what I do. You feel me, This is what I do, This is what we do. This is what we do. Now, let's make this shit practical, because if you can't practically apply it, you can't use it. Let's make this shit a practical. Salut to somebody on TikTok came through the educated crash out. Salute to the educated crash out. I don't even know if you're gonna hear this. That's a hell of a name. Educated crash out. Now, that's probably you. Nella came in under the educated crash out. Man. But listen, let's make this practical. Leadership becomes automatic because good leaders remove unnecessary friction. Yeah, my sister Angie said, she said, I always say I run this oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, this is what I do. Leadership becomes automatic because good leaders remove unnecessary friction. What's friction? Friction is anything that makes the right thing harder. Man, I really wish I would just walk with me, and let's just make let's simplify this shit. Let's simplify this shit. What is friction? Friction is anything that makes the right thing harder, or the right thing the wrong thing easier. Friction is anything that makes the right thing harder or the wrong thing easier. Yeah, my sister Angie writing that down in their Simple Truth Man and Men, your planner, Yeah yeah yeah, Phoenix do next said so my phone, laugh out loud, Yeah, that phone, It can be friction. King Vonnie said his resistance is anything that makes the right thing harder or the wrong thing easier. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah. If every workout begins with finding your shoes, then you creating friction. Did you hear what I said? If every time you go to workout it begins with you finding your shoes, you gotta find your gym shoes, you are creating friction, Felix. If your phone is sitting beside you while you're trying to focus, did you hear me, Felix, let me bring you up, Let me bring you up here. Bro. If your phone is sitting beside you while you're trying to focus, you are creating friction. My brother. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Hey man, TikTok, hold on pause for a second. Somebody M Mass I think you just say MS comes in and says, hey, I was watching Sweetie Fox and I switched back to TikTok. I don't know what. I don't understand. I think this on. I think that's some lind They just sent me a freak message or something. This is weird, these folks is weird. Bro, Why ya ain't tell me? Why ya ain't tell me TikTok is a special place, Bill, I ain't tell me that. Hey, man, listen to me. If your phone is sitting besides you while you're trying to focus, you creating friction. If you decide what you're doing uh for the day only after you wake up, then you're creating friction. Family, Stop making your future negotiate with your present. Stop making your future negotiate with your present. You gotta design your environment, design your environment, and make that shit conducive to your productivity. Yeah, lay your clothes out the night before, prepare tomorrow's priorities. Today, I'm talking to myself. Schedule your deep work, like the shit that you gotta get down deep in. Schedule it, block it out, hell, put your phone in another room, Create checklists, build routines, and here's here's I'm gonna say something, And I hope that this changes the way you think, and I hope it changes the way you think forever. If every good habit requires a fight, then your environment is working against you. If every good habit requires a fight, then your environment is working against you. You do what you will with that. Leadership shouldn't require unnecessary battles. Systems reduced reduce those battles. Preparation is going to remove your excuses, and then your structure is going to create your consistency, and consistency is what's gonna build your character. Period. Reduce the friction. If you reduce your friction, then you're going to reduce the excuses. And that's all lead is to it. If you reduce, If you reduce the friction, then you reduce your excuses. So when I sat there and I just talked to you all about friction, you had things that popped up in your mind that you have identified that you know is friction that keeps you from being productive. Man, let's close this out. I gotta go imagine waking up tomorrow without having to negotiate with yourself. You ain't gotta negotiate what time you getting up. You ain't got to negotiate what you're wearing. You ain't gotta negotiate what you're gonna eat for breakfast? You feel me, You ain't. You ain't gotta negotiate what time you leaving. Imagine getting up on Thursday, July thirtieth and not having to negotiate any of those things. Do you understand how powerful your morning will be? Imagine waking up tomorrow without having to negotiate with yourself. No debate, no no emotional committee meeting. You ain't gotta wake up and figure out how you feeling for the day. No wake no motivation. You ain't gotta wait for the Black Coffee Club to feel motivated. You gonna wake up fared up. Felix asked me when I come in here, like, Man, are you always like this in the mornings? Right bro? I'll really be I'll really be on some fared up shit most mornings. Y'all really be on some. I really be on some. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's if it's you know, just winter conditioning and workouts and you know, being having to be on the field at five am. I don't know what it is. But I'll really be waking up on some fired up shit like on some let's get it. And at the same time, though I started yawning about eight thirty, I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't no good. I was trying to kick it with my little brother for his birthday this weekend, and he told me he was he was heading out to go to the spot at eleven thirty at night. I said, huh, you heading out? Let me get this right. You're not leaving your house until eleven thirty cause I had to hit him with that Klaik Davis sit be cause I'm generation X. It's over with. You feel it's over with? Yeah, yeah, it's over. No emotional committee meeting tomorrow. No waiting for motivation, just execution, because that's who you've become, you feel me. That's the destination, not becoming perfect, but becoming predictable. The most dependable people in your life that you love, that you grew up admiring, are the most dependable ones. Those are the people who you can set what they're going to do by your clock, you feel me. The most reliable people in your life, yeah, now, the most fun people. You know, there might be the sporadic every now and again, you see them here, you see them there. Those might be those folks, but the most reliable people in your life, pop on them. You can set their life and their movements by your watch. Yeah, they're predictable, and that's the goal. Become perfect. You gotta become predictable. Predictable in your standards, predictable in your discipline, predictable in your integrity, predictable in your leadership. Yeah. Yeah, people should People shouldn't know. People shouldn't know. What version of you they're getting, and most importantly, you should know. Most importantly, you should know. Yeah. So here's today's challenge. Choose one leadership habit, just one, keep your word, wake up on time, read exercise, journal, call your parents, lead a meeting, whatever it is, and repeat it until it feels strange not to do because repetition creates identity. Did you hear me? Repetition creates identity, and identity creates trust. Then trust is going to remove your hesitation and leadership becomes automatic. You feel me? Remember this. When leadership becomes automatic, you stop asking yourself to become someone new every morning. I think that's a bar. When leadership becomes automatic, like when you are able to lead yourself and leadership becomes automatic. You stop asking yourself to become someone new every morning. You've already built the habits, you've already earned the trust, you've already reduced the friction. So leadership simply becomes the natural expression of who you are. Yeah, family, this ain't about trying harder. It's about becoming different, one repeated decision at a time. Becoming different, one repeated decision at a time. Man, I'm junior, the Truth.
