Why Working Smarter Beats Working Harder: Quit Making Excuses (Ep. 106)

[@day-dreamer1313]

As a woman, I aspire to be like these men (in my own way). Especially as they talk about putting in the work. I respect and admire them all very highly. Edit: at least until I heard the cheating justification on the Love and Respect episode, towards the end. I still think these men have a lot to offer, and I'm on board with most of what they say, but I just can't support that particular mindset.

[@instrinsiclove]

Agreed!

[@jasminepetway601]

Same girl, same! Definitely inspiring!

[@onanakonadu]

I definitely agree with this.

[@kadeshabarnard6320]

Literally the reason why I watch this podcast!

[@latoyadobson5698]

This episode was great! I never thought I'd enjoy a podcast hosted by men, but to hear it from their perspective is insightful. This podcast is amazing & I'm glad it's three black educated men to show there are still healthy men in the world‼️

[@Essy_B]

The topics and content gets better with every episode as well as seeing the significant amount of growth in you fellas. Hoping to see a lot more men gravitate towards these types of podcasts where they can continually make valuable deposits into themselves.

The moral of the story is you have to RESPECT THE PROCESS and have a STANDARD! Great episode!

Entering into my own entrepreneurial journey, I found this episode really enlightening; falling into my grind season is easier when I know I have that “rest” as a sort of reward, on top of the goal accomplished.

[@jasjetoi]

Jalon spoke to maximizing time and Omar was talking about wisdom, I think both were expressing the importance of ✨delegating✨There’s definitely power in outsourcing and delegating to buy back your time.

JALON cuts are always CLEAN, but then I remember he is a barber lol, God bless y’all!

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

🙏🏾😂🥃🥃🥃

[@RoyalTrevion]

This was real insightful. Especially being that I never really had many men that I could get game from about specifics like time blocking/ management or the importance of rest! Y'all are needed for sure & are all a wealth of knowledge

[@whatitdosue8640]

God made sure this episode was the one I had to watch today ! Everything from working smarter, not trying to fill that extra time with productivity to disciplining yourself to rest! I've been working since I was 16, had 2 jobs since college, and always felt like i had to keep myself busy because time doesn't come back or the next day isn't promised. But, by watching this episode made me realize that rest is actually better for my well being and using it to live more in the present than live to prepare for the future. Thank you guys! #1 Podcast ❣️

[@randyvixamar3072]

great episode couldn’t have come at a perfect timing for me. being a hard worker one thing but learning how to work smart is key. still on working it great episode. 💯

[@Nolllag]

I found this episode to be truly insightful. It arrived at a moment when those around me were urging me to rest due to my busy schedule, yet I am attuned to my body's needs. Balancing two jobs had left me feeling overwhelmed, especially when trying to manage a side hustle. Jalon's breakdown of allocating time for both sleep and pursuing goals deeply resonated with me. Appreciate y’all boys.

“You don’t gotta be strong, be smart” 👏🏿 Loved this episode, touched on so many good points. Proverbs 13:4 Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.

[@myriam6351]

I’d like to say that change is hard because it requires us to be in a space of unknown/uncertainty. There’s a sense of safety that comes with knowing how something will happen as it allows us to prepare for what is to come. And I’d say that building new habits can actually help counteract the fears that come with change because it gives us more control over ourselves, in the process of change. It forces us to rely on self and build the internal sense of security that we might not feel as though we’re getting externally. But the challenge with habits, I’d say, is often not knowing where to start and not feeling as though we’re capable enough of accomplishing the thing we need to do; and in the long run that creates the lack of change we might be seeking and/or forced into.

[@TradingJacob]

Everytime I come back to this podcast, I don’t regret it. Appreciate you brothers.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Love! 🥃🥃🥃

[@KelsiDanielle]

I absolutely LOVE the discussion surrounding discipline! If you want it work for it!ale a plan and work the plan!

[@daja3163]

Discipline says I’m here for the results…well said!! 😮‍💨 so TRUE

[@shekinahnoelle]

This is by far the best episode!! So much knowledge dropped !

[@WhenSaraiSpeaksUListen]

I really love this episode. Very insightful.

[@robzzzzzz1]

Pausing this podcast to say Jalon is talking different ! I don’t know if it’s me but I see him glow up since having a child ! Deeper found purpose , more direct clear and focused in speech mannerisms and tone ❤ Children give you an unmatched blessing and I can see it on him now .. great job guys God bless yall

[@CurrentsandCommerce]

Work smarter not harder but smart work is hard… that was a bar

[@triciajohnson9379]

I also am curious, you guys never speak about your siblings, only parents or “family”. Can you guys talk about that? If you have any, their impact on you, how you’ve been shaped by family ?

[@williamhinton8471]

This was a nice intro for me to this podcast I’ll subscribe and watch more

[@deshawnforte]

Appreciate these brothers for a healthy podcast space. 📈

[@siennagrantmitsak8864]

Thank you for a new and beautiful perspective in this episode! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@davonteanderson5232]

I can move the flow somewhere else - that’s MAJOR

[@ciaraclement3089]

Just the opening had me like “this is exactly what I was looking for” I was just rewatching the episode on the importance of a routine . I am officially on Chanel’s shape and sculpt challenge and that’s caused me to set up a routine to get my workouts in. I get up at 5:30 am and I definitely sacrifice my rest because of my wants . 💚💯💪

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Shout out to you!!! 🥃🥃🥃

[@ciaraclement3089]

Thank you ! Shout out to y’all!

[@TR3Y225]

Duke on point. They wasn’t understanding him with regard to work, sacrifice, and flow state. Meanwhile Jalon gone do minimum work, make all the money, spend infinite time with family, instantly transfer flow state from task to task and sacrifice nothing. 😅😅 He did say he was a DOG!

[@TiffanysSmile]

This is my type of episode! Really enjoyed it. Prefer these over the dating/ relationship episodes.

[@briannaberry6607]

I think another issue is this race against time. What may take someone a year may take you else 2 years to do regardless of how hard you work. Great episode though!!💯💯

[@warrenford8915]

"You be in the bed at 9!!!" 😂 had me crying

[@triciajohnson9379]

I thought about something when you said saving for a home and 2500 a month for 2 years. It’s a 2 year plan, yes you can add more money to your savings each month. You can do that but if that ends up being you reach your goal in a year and a half or a year versus 2 years, you may not find the home that you want even with an extended budget. The 2 years give you the time to look for the perfect home, versus the home you’d settle for! I thought that would be a good point to add😊cheers! 🥃

Jalon really thought they be sleepin late talmbout “wooow” 😂 love🤍

[@beu2543]

Um wth is Jalon talking about?? Sacrifice is inevitable for success. Ask anyone who’s great at anything. Whether he wants to “label” it as a sacrifice or not. It’s sacrifice.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Facts!!! 😂😂😂

[@Sterlin-f3f]

It's a toast a Disciple I am attracted to

[@breannstewart9123]

Just a thought:… People who try to achieve rest like Jalon, struggle with staying motivated if they function similar to Omar. Know how you rest friends 😅.

[@Sterlin-f3f]

Working I am a Disciple so able to announce myself or prove myself a man. Im still working on my toast a Disciple. I was dukey butt whole duuduu. This black man is in discussion not discover anything. Do what he says. Im Disciple
