This is the final part of my street smarts series: the what, why, and how. Today, I talked about three key skills. First, conflict resolution—calming situations by reading people, building relationships, and using good judgment. Second, having a hustler mentality—finding or creating opportunities where others see nothing. And third, operating in chaos—staying flexible when things don’t go as planned and even using chaos to your advantage. Thanks for sticking with me through this series!

This is part two of my four-part series on street smarts—what, why, and how. In this episode, I talk about three important skills: reading people (understanding who they really are, not just how they want to be seen), building relationships (knowing people from all areas of life so you always have someone to call when you need help), and resilience (staying strong and learning to push through challenges). Come back tomorrow for part three, where we’ll go even deeper into building your street smarts. Show Notes: [02:22]#4 Reading people. [09:36]#5 Building relationships. [18:24]#6 Resilience.

We’re on part three of my street smarts series: the what, why, and how. Today, I’m talking about three big skills. First, recognizing opportunities—they’re always around, but you have to take action to grab them. Second, independence—handling things on your own makes you stronger and even draws more support your way. And third, instincts—listening to your gut by shutting out distractions and finding what helps you connect with yourself, like working out, meditating, or just taking a quiet walk. Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode—the final part of this series! Show Notes: [02:14]#7 Recognizing opportunity.  [09:12]#8 Independence. [16:11]#9 Instincts.

In this masterclass, I’m talking about street smarts—a topic I’ve never covered before, thanks to a suggestion from someone who caught one of my live streams. Street smarts are all about using common sense, being aware of your surroundings, and handling real-world situations in a smart way. This is part one of a four-part series, where I’ll share 12 skills to help you build and sharpen your street smarts. Show Notes: [03:54]#1 Situational awareness. [10:18]#2 Resourcefulness.

This is part two of why mainstream media is dying. If you missed yesterday’s episode, go back and listen so you can get the full picture. Today, I’m diving into how the media no longer controls the story—they’ve lost their power. Now, independent platforms are leading the way, and people are embracing unpolished content thanks to smartphones and social media. Plus, I talk about how advertisers, especially pharmaceutical companies, are calling the shots in mainstream media. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [02:23]#4 Mainstream is used to shaping the story and having a populace in their pockets, but now people can easily double-check the information.  [11:35]#5 Independent platforms do not have a mandate as to what to say or what slant to take.  [25:35]#6 Smartphones and social media have made unpolished production cool.

In this class, I’m talking about why the mainstream media is dying. I first brought this up during one of my live streams—by the way, I go live at 8 AM Eastern, Monday through Friday, on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and more. This show is where I put my thoughts on the record, so if you ever wonder if I’ve talked about a topic, you’ll probably find it here. I’ll break down why the media is losing its influence and what it means for all of us. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [04:18]#1 Social media influenced the mainstream to play a different game. [12:21]#2 The Mainstream Media lost their game.  [19:13]#3 Five stages of grief-denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The mainstream media is only on stage two.

In this class, I’m talking about "Who over How." This idea came to me while I was trying to figure out some software that could help my business. I quickly realized that spending hours learning how to set it up wasn’t the best use of my time. Instead, I needed to find someone who’s good at that stuff and let them handle it. The lesson? Focus on what you’re great at and find the right people to handle the rest. Let’s break it down. Show Notes: [04:43]#1 Know what you do best and focus on doing that and only that.  [12:43]#2 There is someone out there who can do everything else that needs to be done that are not your areas of expertise.

In this class, I’m talking to anyone who presents to an audience—whether you’re a speaker, teacher, lawyer, or student. The message is simple: don’t try to be “too smart” for your audience. I explain what that means and how trying to sound impressive can actually hurt your ability to connect and communicate. My job is to share knowledge in a way you can use, and I want to make sure you can do the same when it’s your turn to share your message. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [07:06]#1 Many people have a bad habit of trying to prove to everyone else how smart you are, and this is done incorrectly.  [14:27]#2 College degree holders are the most susceptible to this bad habit and you are the most guilty of executing on this bad habit.  [19:43]#3 My superpower is my ability to take a complex topic, break it down, and make it simple enough for a fifth grader to understand it.  [25:29]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1738: Brevity: The Skill Of Making Your Point Without Talking TOO MUCH Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

In part two of this series, we focus on the key things that separate the average from the exceptional. First, you need to master your time—your 24 hours should be by design, not by default. Next, become a master communicator, both in speaking and listening, so you can effectively get your point across. Lastly, relentless discipline is the foundation of success, from showing up on time to consistently performing at your best. Let’s break down how these habits can set you apart from the average.

In this class, I talk about quitting—not the smart kind, but the kind where you give up even though you still want the outcome. This type of quitting can become a habit, and if you keep doing it, your mind starts to think it’s okay to walk away when things get tough. I’ll explain why we don’t want to let this kind of quitting take over and how to keep pushing forward, even when it feels hard. Show Notes: [03:38]#1 Life is being made easier and easier for all of humanity, which means it's easier to start, access and try things than it ever was before.  [11:31]#2 There are several reasons why you should quit. Because sometimes you're just in a place where you should not be.  [17:46]#3 Most people lack resilience, determination, and persistence .Opportunity lies in possessing these traits.

Do you want to be average or stand out? In this episode, I talk about the steps you can take to separate yourself from the masses and perform at a higher level. Whether you're already above average or aiming to improve, I’ll show you what you can do to avoid the pull of the “average” and keep leveling up. Let’s dive into how to make sure you’re moving forward, not stuck in the middle. Show Notes: [03:23]#1 Show up early. [15:29]#2 Stick to something once you have begun doing it, actually follow through on things that you start. [19:51]#3 Stop changing your mind and jumping from one thing to the next and instead lock in and focus.  [22:23Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!
