There's an old saying that goes "he who fails to plan, plans to fail" that refers to how important planning is in achieving our goals. And even though we all know this saying is a fact, we often fail to plan, which opens the door for our failure. In this episode, Blueprint and Illogic break down how their lack of planning in certain areas has caused delays in their art and discuss the subtle signs that indicate you haven't been organized or planned out enough.   Hit the link to watch or listen to episode 250 of Super Duty Tough Work podcast with Blueprint and Illogic, "Planning To Fail."

This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC are joined by first-time guest, Paco @blk_paco.

Has anyone ever lessened your value or had little faith in your success?

Short Yellow Bus (Ft. Paco) (Ep: 227)

While we've done our fair share of criticizing Nas for his hit-or-miss albums, it always comes from a place of love because we know what he's capable of making some great music.  With the release of his latest album King's Disease, Nas has once again got our attention, but this time for the right reasons.  In one album, it appears that Nas has addressed all of our past criticisms and finally gotten it right.  In this episode, we talk about the album and whether Nas finally got it right.  Let's go!

Christal Clear's Relationship Segment - Radical Truth Vs. Over Communication

This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC are joined by Tunisia Offray @tunisiaoffray, mother of 4, business owner, and a boss. Becoming a single mother at age 16 could feel like a future ruined, but what about being a mother of 2 by the age of 18? What if your child was the product of spousal rape? It took our guest roughly 20 years to heal from a trauma that caused her to continually put herself in the same toxic, and abusive relationships with men, often being left feeling alone and discarded. Through learning to heal, Tunisia has been able to help others who have experienced similar relationship trauma. Sometimes, you never know where you'll find your "village."

While we often speak about the need to be as ambitious as possible when it comes to achieving your goals, we've rarely spoken about what happens after you do. One unfortunate thing that can happen is feeling burnt out and that is where we find ourselves this week as we push into the final few weeks of our 90-Days of Discipline Challenge. In this episode, we break down how easy it is to feel artistically burned out after you achieve a goal and what to do when you feel that way.
