“I see a lot of dudes who perpetuate what I call the myth of the influencer. In New York, specifically, where I’m at every day, I see a lot of these dudes who aspire to be what I call a professional cool guy. But nobody who ever ended up as a professional cool guy ever started out saying ‘I’m gonna be fucking cool.’ What it really comes down to is refining your skills and figuring out what you bring to the table. Then, learning over time how you can then convey that honestly to someone else so that they trust you and they fuck with you, to the point where down the line you’ll get to do the kind of stuff that you see certain people brag about on Twitter and blog about. If you start out from the get-go with that as your aim, you’re never gonna fucking get there. It’s never gonna happen.”

Henry: That once you realize you can do anything… you’re free. You could fly. Nobody can touch you… nobody. Mark… don’t be afraid to fly.

Audio: Kid Cudi Talks About Life After G.O.O.D. Music:

There are honestly so many amazing things said in this short clip. It is an absolute must listen..here is my favorite:

“A lot of kids are down on themselves, they feel like they can’t do things ‘cause there are people out there telling them what they can and can’t do. Kids need to understand, that as human beings, we are SO CAPABLE, of doing whatever the fuck we want.” ~Cudi

“Kid Cudi is my personal favorite artist in the world right now. His music, whenever you see his performances, just his whole take on the whole game. It’s just proper, unfiltered, uncensored artistry. And thats something me and Jay all look up to. Even once we get the commercial success, you’d like to take everything down to an unfiltered space. That’s what he’s delivering, his album comes out next week; everybody has to go and listen to that. If you want to hear raw, uncut, un-apologetic, ill ass melodies, everything, thats what Kid Cudi’s thing is.”

Sharing Is The New Networking

Sharing Is The New Networking :

bombtune:

With the rise of collaborative business practices and professionally-geared social networks, sharing has become a better form of networking.

Digital relationships are your starting place. What you share makes people interested in you. People can also tell when you try to impress. Phonies get caught avatar or not.

Social networking pushes expression. This audacity translates to the real world. Face to face meetings verify digital identities. Be yourself behind the keys and in the open.

Kobe: “So that’s the psychology of it. Growing up, I used to hear kids say all the time ‘I can’t guard you, but you can’t guard me.’ And when I hear somebody say that, I see it as an opportunity. ‘OK. So you’re conceding the fact that you can’t guard me. OK.’

Kobe: “So now you’re saying I can’t guard you, that’s the only chip you have.”

Kobe: “So now if I take that chip from you, then what you gonna do?”

Kobe: “You can’t play poker no more, you ain’t got no chips.”

Marbury: “You’re dead.”

Kobe: “So now you know you can’t guard me. You openly admit you can’t guard me. Now I guard you and lock you up, now what? Now how you feelin’?”

“Hey, uhh Rob, I hope I’m not disturbing anything right?”

“Uhh no, what’s up Kob?”

“Just wondering if you could just help me out with some conditioning work, that’s all.”

I checked my clock. 4:15 AM.

“Yeah sure, I’ll see you in the facility in a bit.”

It took me about twenty minutes to get my gear and out of the hotel. When I arrived and opened the room to the main practice floor I saw Kobe. Alone. He was drenched in sweat as if he had just taken a swim. It wasn’t even 5AM.

We did some conditioning work for the next hour and fifteen minutes. Then we entered the weight room, where he would do a multitude of strength training exercises for the next 45 minutes. After that we parted ways and he went back to the practice floor to shoot. I went back to the hotel and crashed. Wow.

I was expected to be at the floor again at about 11 AM. I woke up feeling sleepy, drowsy, and almost pretty much every side effect of sleep deprivation. Thanks, Kobe. I had a bagel and headed to the practice facility.

This next part I remember very vividly. All the Team USA players were there, feeling good for the first scrimmage. LeBron was talking to Carmelo if I remember correctly and Coach Krzyzewski was trying to explain something to Kevin Durant. On the right side of the practice facility was Kobe by himself shooting jumpers. And this is how our next conversation went — I went over to him, patted him on the back and said, “Good work this morning.”

“Huh?”

“Like, the conditioning. Good work.”

“Oh. Yeah, thanks Rob. I really appreciate it.”

“So when did you finish?”

“Finish what?”

“Getting your shots up. What time did you leave the facility?”

“Oh just now. I wanted 800 makes so yeah, just now.”
