Mind Tasting

The Mamba Mentality is characterized by unrivaled work ethic, composure, focus, and self-belief. However, there’s a more core attribute in Kobe’s approach to life that contributed to his greatness: Mentorship.

In this episode of Mind Tasting, I discuss how Kobe was a student of life, who learned from everyone around him and then inspired others by generously sharing what he learned. He was the ultimate mentee and mentor.

How can we integrate mentorship in our own lives and embody the Mamba Mentality?

George Floyd was murdered by police officers on May 25, 2020. And now we want justice. But who will give this justice? The same legal system that’s responsible for the injustice? How can we expect the oppressor to become the rescuer? Decades ago Malcom X knew the government would not hold itself accountable for the injustice it perpetuates. Still today his message holds true. Presented by Kyle Romero @kyrotechnics.

Are you primarily focused on the result of what you do? What do you do for the simple joy of doing? Last week I took a two week break from the podcast, because I noticed it was starting to add stress into my life. Although I believe discipline is required to build healthy habits, I also believe it is healthy to have certain practices that are pressure free and discipline free. Activities we enjoy for the simple joy of doing, detached from outcomes or results. Presented by Kyle Romero @kyrotechnics.
