The guys have an eventful fun filled weekend. Karl and his family took a trip up north for the first time, CJ and his family hung out in Michigan for a family reunion, and ET and his church family holds their first annual kick ball game. Have you ever been on a flight with a jerk ? CJ had the experience over the week and he admits to almost losing control and possibly getting into a fight with another passenger. CJ explains the situation and then poses the question to Karl and E and asks them what would they have done if they were in the same situation. ET explains how he’s been able to set boundaries to prevent situations from getting out of hand since he’s been baptized again. Every misunderstanding doesn’t have to turn into a full blown argument or even a fight. If you’re struggling with anger issues ET explains that you need to self-assess and figure out what’s really making you angry. Most of the things you blow up over aren’t as serious as you make it but you have to self-assess and see where the ange

The guys are still in Houston after the Stay Ready conference and their experiences are the subject of this week’s podcast episode. After meeting gazelle’s on two occasions the guys dive deep into the difference of an owner’s mentality and a worker’s mentality. Essentially when you’re operating like a gazelle in the workplace it’s because of this mentality. After discussing the difference CJ asks the guys what do you do when you’re doing something you’re not passionate about for a living and it’s hard to give 120. There are many people who fall into that category and ET gives some practical tangible advice on how to overcome this mentality. The key principle to it all is, “Whatever your hand find to do, do it with ALL your might.” Time Stamped Topics: [03:49] - Am I Tripping Or ?

The guys recorded their first live podcast in front of an audience last week and it’s probably the best podcast episode ever. Karl kicks off the episode with the introduction of ETA’s first children’s publication. My Secret Super Power: Trey’s Jungle Adventure . CJ talks about the process of writing the book and gives some advice on how to handle unexpected setbacks while working on projects. After writing the book CJ discovered that although it’s a children’s book many adults can benefit from the message. The main focus of the episode is the importance of shifting from a consumer mindset to a producer mindset. The guys explain how we are conditioned to consume as much as possible and that stops most people from actually producing anything. After listening to this episode you should walk away with a few key nuggets of information that involve going from a consumer to a producer, how fake confidence doesn’t work, and how to understand and adjust your view of the world.        Time Stamped Show Notes   [0

In this Tuesday Power-Up, ET talks about choosing to take control of your life and staying ahead of your competition. 

We’ve seen some of the best dynamic duos create history in their fields and ultimately break up. The most recent break up is with ESPN’s Mike & Mike who have worked together for 18 years and are now calling it quits. This caused CJ to think about the possibility of the squad breaking up. Could it happen ? CJ challenges the guys and ask them have they ever thought of the squad possibly breaking up.The guys all explain how they safeguard those thoughts and keep their ego in check so that it doesn’t happen. ET makes a very important point that in order to keep things like this from happening he makes sure that the guys understand and know how much he appreciates them. CJ talks about his real reason for not having his own social media pages as it could possibly cause a distraction to what his role is. No one wants to see great duos or trios that make history break up but it’s a strong possibility in the world we live in today. You'll learn in this episode that as long as everyone stays in their lane it's hard f

The guys are back this week and they kick off today’s episode with a weekend recap. Baby Avery turned one, the guys in Lansing did more demolition on the ETA compound, and Josh’s son Hudson won the state championship in golf. CJ starts off the conversation by asking the guys a question that he was asked by a listener. What do you do while you’re waiting to blow up ? You’re applying the principles you’re learning, you’re studying your craft, but things just aren’t moving as fast as you want them to. So what do you do ? ET explains that at one point in time he actually stopped speaking and found other ways to serve and add to his craft. When he stepped away is when he, CJ, & Karl started working together at MSU. Karl discovers that even back then the squad was doing the same thing that they are doing now. The key principle in this episode is to stay in go mode and master your craft. Even while waiting to blow up you should be working on your craft. ET says that for many aspiring speakers, they only speak when
