The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

Gaining Momentum- A 4 - Step Process For Starting Every Day Productively - College Info Geek

For my friend Thomas Frank, he got a head start by focusing his college time on making money, learning, and writing blogs about his findings and journey.  He thought it would be cool to submit a guest blog post to a reputable site only to find out they would deny him. That didn’t stop him.  He decided to create his own site.  After doing multiple blogs, one finally took off and got many views.  Then he knew he had something.

14: Finding Work You’re Passionate About with Thomas Frank, the College Info Geek

I know you've ALL been waiting for this one. My man, the hustler, the hip hop legend Russ stops by to dive into his background, the music industry, and why putting out content at scale really does work. I admire this man's hustle and really know this is an episode you can't miss, call-in questions included &lt;3&nbsp;

#AskGaryVee 265 | RUSS

This entire keynote in Idaho was on FIRE. Besides a funny interaction with a couple fans, the content here is absolutely incredible. So much love and inspiration in this room, and dove deep into a number of topics, including why audio is so important, how important it is to be first in emerging platforms (because you'll never know what's going to skyrocket) and how to measure ROI with influencer marketing. You're not gonna want to miss this one, trust me. Shoot me a note on Twitter and let me know what you thought ;)

It's all about finding a way to tell your story while finding a way to respect your users' time. Just remember that this time around it's more about CONTEXT than CONTENT. This can boil down to creating platform specific content, or simply respecting and engaging the way that a specific platform requires. This is one of my favorite keynotes, hope you enjoy ;)&nbsp;

A Mashup: 5 FIRE Clips From September | Russ, Tony Conrad, Nicholas Megalis & the Atlanta Keynote

If you're still looking at Monday morning as a chore, and dreading it on Sunday night, your shit is BROKEN. These clips will help push you over that barrier and start getting you fired up for Monday, and to stop living for Friday. Get ready, because here it comes :)

A Rant To Get Your Monday Morning Fired Up

This was a fire keynote that I gave in Amsterdam a few weeks back to the Bookings.com crowd. One of the main themes here is why you should always keep Dying on your own sword in the back of your mind. As long as you keep this theme constantly in mind, and are doing this for yourself it keeps you at the top of the crowd. Another big theme here is practicality. If you're too far behind on emerging platforms and networks, you're not practical because you're not taking advantage of the massive potential there is to grab onto new audiences. I loved this one, and I hope you do too ;)
