Episode Summary

In this mini-episode, Trevor pulls from everyone's favorite hype man, Lil Jon to implore you to take ALL OF YOUR LEAVE. Sick days, holidays, vacation, it doesn't matter; YOU HAVE ALREADY EARNED IT. Do not let your job guilt you into not using up your PTO. That is time that you've earned and if you don't use it then you're giving away money that belongs to you.  Capitalism will survive without you. It's okay to take a vacation.

Episode Summary

On this Mini Episode, Trevor uses the song Spar by Dreezy featuring 6lack and Kodak Black to encourage you to be selfish with your own time. It doesn't matter if the people around you don't see the brilliance in your idea, as long as you do. Run at it with everything you have, the worst that could come out of it is the knowledge that you put your whole effort into something and came out a better person. In the words of a previous guest on the show, "Knowledge is the only thing separating me from where I want to be."

Episode Summary
 
Today’s episode is called “Beating Procrastination."  Does this sound familiar? Something is due and even though you have a ton of lead time, you pushed it off until the last minute. You beat yourself up about it and say that you’ll be better next time…. but when the next time comes around, you’re back to waiting until the last minute again. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that you’re better under pressure, or that you have to be in the mood to get started ( even though, coincidentally, like clockwork, you magically get in the mood just before it's due). Either way, whether you see it or not, procrastination is not a habit you can take with you to where you want to be. We’re going to be talking about mindset. Coming up are some ways you can beat procrastination.

Key Points: 

1.    If you don’t do it somebody else will - Drake

2.    Consider the opportunity costs - Nas

3.    Do the Work - Outkast (Cee Lo Green)

4.    Set some goals - Too Short
