Author Ryan Holiday Speaks On Working With Birdman & His New Book

[@versacepockets]

Awesome to see the breakfast club talk on self help books, they're all helpful books.

[@shawn8847]

Stoicism is a self help book+

[@kynshii]

Very interesting interview. Always good to soak in other's experience because there's always a learning point. I know we love the nigga shit but a break from it is refreshing

[@HealthyFoodBae_]

Tony Brown 😂

[@strengthandhonor9334]

Agreed. 💪🏾

[@emmamay7453]

In the words of W. Buffet "circle of competence" and reinventing yourself time and time again. And perhaps, knowing when to jump ship. I enjoyed this interview. thank you for your time.

[@NoJumper]

congrats on this ryan!

[@theDanDeleon]

24:30 so much mind was blown. Prob one of the best guests y'all have had.

[@VlRUSS10]

I love this guest... he makes great points. Dumb people on the comment section just want another thug talking shit. I'm gonna purchase the 48 laws of power because of this interview.

[@l.pmoonstone5067]

Me too.

[@SeizedaJay]

Irving Flores if youre really interested in the book theres another youtuber who has made videos for each law, illacertus. Check him out.

[@howtoheal8003]

Irving Flores no one complained shows what u really think about it

[@codeninja100]

All of Ryan Holidays books are 10/10. I would suggest buying all of them

[@wggraffix5157]

I really appreciate the Breakfast Club for controlling the narrative (Pun Intended) as far as making Books/Reading "COOL" again. We gotta FEED OUR MINDS!

[@JayRemy2120]

some people need to grow up........you don't want to watch the interview cause it's not a person talking about bullshit and drama.......watch the interview and learn something

[@IllMatic97]

Jeremy Jones like?

[@wha-whereyomamastayatvlad1642]

Jeremy Jones those are that victim's

[@123AFTERMATH]

Jeremy Jones yup!!! AMEN. Bullshit and drama, same shit all the time just different people and theirs people that feed off that. Brainwashed, and just stupidity!

[@tifftreads]

lmao

[@MLFlagg]

Anyone reading your post obviously went to watch the video. So who are you talking too? maybe your post is subconsciously directed to you. Thats what I learned

[@vincentstark7093]

His book "trust me I'm lying" is a MUST read for understanding today's media.. Check the book out when you can.

[@mzdontcallmefish8189]

It's 3 years after you made this comment, but thank you for the recommendation🙂

[@neish9520]

Now THIS was a fantastic interview. Learned a LOT. Will be adding a few books to my library. And Envy clearly stepped his game up here, with his questions...

[@elizeebz]

Neish ego is the enemy is amazing and deep

[@neish9520]

Indeed! I'm still learning that very point...

[@neish9520]

Trevon Womack no, I hadn't seen that one. gonnna check it out now...

[@maindigital6549]

The obstacle is the way is my shit...Charlamagne be on his job

[@MichelleNgome]

Jay Jones Ryan is the truth.

[@sqwale7]

a really good interview. Highlight paraphrased : "Understand what success looks like after undertaking any endeavour, for too many people do things because they are social norms and not knowing what success is at the end of it "

[@LeekBrimah]

Envy actually asked some good questions this time lol

[@GmoneyGcode]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ScreamGeronimo]

lol YOO!

[@SublimeAbstraction]

celticeagle1000 okay!! Hahaha.

[@HealthyFoodBae_]

celticeagle1000 made some good points too

[@jsan2586]

He actually has a good guest.

[@sewfishy1]

I am a total Ryan Holiday devotee. I own every one of his books. My two favorites are The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy. Ryan has a incredible intellect and he is able to communicate in a effectual way. His books have had a incredibly positive influence in my life. The thing is, stoicism is a great practice to learn and relearn. This is a great interview.

[@KG-sp9ym]

This is a dope interview. I just read Ego is the enemy, it is my fav book right now. Ryan Holiday is the truth & now is my fav author. Can't wait to read his other books.

[@msneetbaby]

I love when they interview people that work outside the music industry

[@Supermoney97]

They need to get Robert Greene on the breakfast club or BI

[@sohaibahmed226]

Right difference between ego and confidence. Man i have to say after reading his book really did humble me.

[@TinuolaVictoria]

For once Envy's constant interruptions of "explain..." helped this interview.

[@leshaB81]

Tinuola Victoria 😂😂😂

[@CamdenMcInnis]

Glad to see that the breakfast club is actually bringing in intelligent people. Time to get rid of the ratchet shit

[@kevingleason6239]

Yeah revitalize the breakfast club. Why does it have to be one way or another. Authors and rappers can both be interesting interviews to the same audience and if you think not then I don't know what to tell you

[@joshsimi8680]

Finally some of the best DJ's and radio hosts bringing on some intelligent people for once.

[@lorilondon4410]

i'm so weak at envy saying american apparel isn't expensive. "envy you're rich" lol

[@Lilyrose23]

I read both "Ego is the enemy"and "the obstacles is the way"and I loved them, especially obstacles is the way, it summarized all the important advises that you'll find in all self help books into a small, easy to read book.

[@rithyros8408]

That was a good interview...they al did a good job on this one, salute

[@Msboochie2]

This is a must watch interview! It's especially good for the youngsters, but everyone can learn something.

[@YourLBN]

Great interview. A break from the norm and I love how respectful the club is with interviews they care about.

[@usupoalaeluaable]

This guy needs to comeback. Enjoyed this interview.

[@45Dre]

magneficent interview beginning to end

[@mikeboss98]

Envy was impressively smart in this interview. Good for you.

[@22redwing93]

The 48 Laws of Power is the sociopath's manifesto. Take some things from it and add it to your own life, but never follow it to the T.

[@theshining8923]

22 Redwing Yeah I guess but it is a dog eat dog world...

[@Allanakgurl1]

yeees! I think following those laws or taking them to heart is quite dangerous. take some and leave some

[@JWillDrums]

great interview! good perspective on the formulas to being successful.. its hard to find mentorship tho... most ppl in successful positions only help their kids/family.. and not help as far as handouts but running a successful business or giving u that one piece of invaluable info you need to get to the next level.. These days many "mentors" disguise themselves as being helpful to your situation and you end up in a very uncomfortable position. Have to be careful out here and if you are blessed to find someone willing to pour into you w/no expectations in return you are the rare exception and like I said BLESSED.

[@matthewmoseslee]

j will Check out the book by JT McCormick - "I Got There"...we must learn the rules to the game...in many cases we have to look at the key distinctions that has allowed an apprentice to get their mentors...be careful about your beliefs and how they may limit your opportunities...If mentors only hired family members...what do you say about all the successful people that didn't have a family member mentor them?...just don't limit your ability to see key distinctions that allowed successful ppl to find a mentor

[@JWillDrums]

Matthew Lee not limiting myself and def not saying that only family members find mentors.. i was just giving perspective... u can't rely on "people" to give you the tools u need to be successful. Especially when starting from scratch or a book you may have read.. ive been a self-managed musician for years and many mistakes Ive made have been thru trial and error I wish I could have prevented by having a mentor or even a family member to turn to..its hard to find ppl willing to take you under their wing and teach you everything they know.. it just doesn't happen as often as u think.. we are separated by class for a reason some doors have to be broken down to get thru them... just a thought..

[@matthewmoseslee]

j will i do understand your struggle of not having family members to help teach me how to navigate my circumstance and have felt the same way. You're right being born into a certain class does give you certain privileges, such as being born in the US or being born in the internet age. Books will not level the playing field they simply provide a way to become aware of the game and the rules of the game...when applying the rules to your individual circumstance there will always be some trial and error, and they may not even work the same because of your individual circumstance...I applaud your work ethic & commitment to make a way when no mentors existes...just remember that "human beings are still prone to human nature" they always want to serve the best interest of themselves and their familes...as a result hopefully you can use knowledge from books & OPE (Other Ppl Experiences) to give you new approaches on how to develop the skills & ability to persuade, influence, and create Value that can serve a mentor's best interest so you simply can use the key and "unlock" the door, and therefore you don't have to "break" it down...I have had to "break down" plenty of doors that is until I started to learn more about influence & persuasion and how to apply it to my situation to gain and advantage...I wish you the best with your path and journey and that you help pass along the knowledge

[@JWillDrums]

Prince Vegeta yea def not ballin but I do more than the avg internet troll like urself.. actually playing Ryman Auditorium tonight with an artist.. What's ur plan? 1. wake and bake 2. play 2k 3. get ready for work 5 mins b4 u suppose to be there.. 4. be 15 mins late for work.. 5. get yelled at for not having the fry grease hot enough.. i could keep going..

[@matthewmoseslee]

Prince Vegeta died laughing...just imagined living your life for 2 minutes...sad that your life had lead you to this point commenting on YT videos...

[@ramanarc]

Haa my favorite author, obstacle is the way changed my life, like literally.

[@wha-whereyomamastayatvlad1642]

this is really good i like this dude

[@X29488]

Give this man an hour interview next time

[@sheenapinkney2215]

more interviews like this!

[@kinggodtravis]

Great Interview, learn so much will have to watch it again.

[@mchicago01]

Love Ryan Holiday. Great interview

[@StephenMykal]

I read his book years ago. Dude is brilliant

[@nathanbeltran3523]

Need to check out some of this boys books. Sounds like a smart guy!

[@NawehMusic]

I agree with mostly everything he said except for the going to the college part. Maybe it's because I come from a family where they really stressed education. I knew that I want to do music but I didn't study music in college. I studied sociology and social work and it helped me to really educate myself on social justice issues (current and historical), build friendships with people in different fields (I have friends that are lawyers, nurses, teachers, etc) and I was able to perform my songs at shows on campus and connect with other musicians on campus.

[@devib06]

Great interview. I think I'll pick up one of his books.

[@fatou8011]

amazing interview. ill definitely check out ego is the enemy.

[@stephaniejoseph9584]

I love when my two interest collide, amazing conversation.

[@dnwanja]

My favorite author...😊

[@ireashaford5915]

Great interview! Thanks!

[@riobodiba9619]

[@AnnieDreaXO]

Sick interview 🤘🏾

[@marromorrison]

Good morning black brothers and sisters. Hope y'all have a wonderful day today and for the days to come. As strong ppl of the black continent, we must always remember what me grandma always told me "the stone that the builder refused shall surely be the head corner stone". Always remover that you're all Homo sapiens shape in the beauty and strength as our ancestors, always keep good family and friends around you at all times, and waste no time on frauds. I love y'all, take care ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #blackways

[@Dan_Therapist]

let this not distract you from the fact logic Is Half black and half white, not half white and half black stay woke yo

[@donniejuanstar2484]

Marrow Morrison well what about the white brothers and sisters? kinda left us "hanging" there you're a racist

[@Mandology575]

What a load of rubbish! Just looking for upvotes aren't you?

[@donniejuanstar2484]

ELLIS HATES POTATOES!!! with your name is potatoes code for white people?

[@acebroward9012]

Jennifer Showalter everyday on TBC ULL see this post smh so sad. sad people want to break us apart as brothers and sisters. Not black and white. justb US

[@kevinkim5341]

This is why we need an adult hip hop/news show. He's basically explaining crap everybody who's paying half attn knows, but we gotta watch this crap for the groovey people

[@thehungryorchid3099]

Very very interesting. Thanks for putting me on to this author! I loved loved what he said about how we love to emote about our problems but we don't like to solve them because complaining feels good. #truth

[@wolfsandgoldchains8247]

im impressed Envy

[@jasonmcintyre22]

I love how you all are mixing up the hip hop guests w Malcolm Gladwell, Angela Rye, Dick Gregory as well as this guest 🙋🙋🙋👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@realdylanmadden]

Great interview!

[@Kimjunun12345]

This guys book is amazing

[@MrKingRoyalty]

YOOO ......ENVY ACTUALLY MADE A GOOD ASS POINT BRUH lmaoooo 10:10

[@zarinparis2214]

Great interview , you have to be open to soaking in information from different sources , even if it's not something your into.

[@iman3832]

This was amazing

[@meekbeing]

I watched the whole video and this is why BBB / The Ball Family will be extremely successful in their independent branding ventures. #my2cents

[@Dontcallmebruh]

Excellent question envy👏

[@willemdee]

Its hard for me to take Charlamagne serious because his immature/ratchet side overshadows it so much at times I look at him as a class clown more so than a motivational speaker.

[@aoclive6710]

+Bethsaida Romelus new information or adding facts will do that to a persons opinion.

[@HS32153]

Bethsaida Romelus Absolutely!! He said on his podcast that he really didn't believe hardly anything in the Bible. In his interviews and The Breakfast Club he stays quoting scriptures. Why use scriptures for examples, when you don't believe what you're reading or saying?

[@HeyJoEllen]

I don't think it overshadows. But im a different individual. I can separate it.

[@AnnaMishel]

Ryan, I think the most of you and your intellect . . But you’re wrong about Trump. HE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

[@badgerboyxd]

Envy: Now explain to the people out there what a book for all those who don't know. (A lot of these young niggas may need that explanation today)

[@SublimeAbstraction]

Good interview.

[@richbrass12]

I love how he said what damon dash said with ownership.

[@literaryartist1]

I'm surprise y'all had Ryan their. Loved it.

[@kemicalyemster]

This guy is fucking intelligent. Great interview!

[@spongebob03]

People talk a lot of shit about Charlemagne, but I admire him. I don't think TBC would have had people on like Ryan Holiday, Gary Vanyercuk(sp?) or Malcolm Galdwell if he wasn't on the show.

[@thembelani1]

Wow Envy sounds smart in this interview. Well,he does that when you talk about cars.

[@howtoheal8003]

Envy finally asks some good questions

[@Agnelum1]

How can y'all not want Birdman to come back up to your studios, but you want to stay talking about him??? He told all tree ah y'all lass time, put some respek on his name.

[@Ducksauc3]

YES TOTALLY

[@StellaAdora]

Being an apprentice is easy when you don't need the money and you dont got bills to pay

[@sewfishy1]

The Obstacle is the Way love sponge

[@cutdepiefails6596]

He dropped out of college, so he didn't spend the money on it, so he actually came positive.

[@codeninja100]

It was a paid apprenticeship. If you want something out of life you make the necessary sacrifices. Like living in a studio apartment to be able to learn from one your idols..

[@acesafi2144]

Chris Hadfield is a famous Canadian astronaut! GO CANADA

[@BARSCIENCE101]

did anyone here read any of his books? if so, how are they?

[@Mangyalleycat]

good interview

[@Musertzi]

I honestly think the breakfast club should interview lenny cooke.

[@gjhunny8927]

Go ENVY ON THE GREAT QUESTIONS

[@clarencematthews1154]

He looks like Justin Tucker from the Baltimore Ravens

[@princess876ify]

this was interesting. i learned a lot.

[@marc07112]

go to boarding school, college was a waste of time. I met more ppl from around the world and learned more from it. college was like public school

[@nkwakutoure]

Everyone is a philosopher nowadays. However Kanye said it best. 'You don't have the Answer!' If this cat had the answers he wouldn't be up there try to convince you to buy his book. The answers are in you, not from outside of you. People like this chap gift wrap words to entice you, to influence you. and ultimately to exploit you. You want to learn? observe nature! I am not a philosopher but I think very deeply. I encourage all to read/research these authors to so that we can end all this health care scam in our community: Raymond Francis, Jerry Tennant, Terry Wahls, Peter Glidden, Joel Wallach, William Walsh, Bruce Fife, Julia Ross, Trudy Scott, Hal Huggins, Gerald Pollack and MJ Pangman. These authors will change your mind about all you know regarding health.

[@kngknowledge7051]

Breakfast club have Kyle from Secular Talk on

[@stevenconnors9198]

I hope he cite all of the classical and modern philosophical sources that he "researches" in order to write his work. So people can realize that he's not just coming up with all of the stuff that he's writing. It's translation. Weird how that can work for an "author" today.

Trump does not have a minority of support. it’s about 50:50. that’s NOT A MINORITY

[@astheskylarksings]

Anyone know about 5 other white dudes who talk similar and look similar to this dude and who have similar personalities with this guy?

[@HeyJoEllen]

These comments are sad. Real sad. sigh. 😔 (loved this interview by the way) I haven't read the 48 Laws of Power and don't plan on to. Just from the posts on twitter of some of the laws, its telling us to do stuff to others that we wouldn't want friends and family to do to us. Unless y'all can help me see another point of view I won't be touching that book.

[@anthonyg2889]

I'm just clicking on shit to see if cth gonna be there

[@mikedabeast360]

He does a lil bit lol. "The Man Show" with Jimmy Kimmel & Adam Carolla, used to be my joint in the late 90's- mid 00's.

DJ Envy: "Explain to the people what a self help book is?"

[@chitownhb7477]

I actually enjoy these type of BFC interviews more than I do the ones with entertainers. 50 Cent & Master P are two recent entertainers that come to mind that gave interviews that were filled with stuff that even folks outside of the entertainment world could relate to. Theres a few more, but I cant think of them right now. Envy and them asking dumb ass questions could be part of the reason why the celeb interviews turn out shitty. But Ive heard Envy and C. Da God ask some great questions as well and the celebs still seemed like dumb asses who couldnt comprehend the questions that were being asked.
