EP15: Being Real, Post-Show Weight Gain, and the “My Way or the Highway” Mindset
Brains For Brilliance
As individuals, we form our own ideas about people based on their social media. That’s why it is so important to be as real as possible whether you are online or offline. When you’re real, people know exactly what they’re going to get when they enter your life. This can help you avoid surrounding yourself with the wrong people and getting into the wrong relationships. Having the the right people in your life is vital because you need people to support you when you’re having self-confidence issues or when you’re training for a show or for any number of reasons. Remember, stay away...

Brains For Brilliance
A lot of people listening to this focus on surviving instead of thriving. Having that mindset will hold you back from success. Everyone wants to eat better food and safest car and comfiest clothes.

Brains For Brilliance
Being multi-passionate keeps you from feeling burnt out and helps you stay passionate about all of your different projects. Your days have much more diversity that you normally would if you stuck to one thing. The reason that people become burnt out on their careers is because they find themselves working for the benefit of the company. They don’t get to see the impact of their job or the value that they bring. Doing the same thing every day can become monotonous and cause you to lose your passion. Organized chaos can be healthy for the mind and allow you to keep killing it in your multitude...

EP11: The power of trying new things
Brains For Brilliance
There is nothing wrong with trying different routes to achieve the big vision. What’s the worst thing that could happen when trying new things? Negative visualization is key because it prepares you for the worst, thus creating more confidence. You will feel pressure and judgement from society as well as family and friends but if you really work hard you can achieve what people say you can’t.

EP10: Staying true to your morals in the sea of sales and criticism
Brains For Brilliance
As human beings we influence people on a daily basis, whether you have Instagram or not. You don’t have to wait until you have 10,000 followers on Instagram to have a positive influence on people.

Brains For Brilliance
Before you can achieve constant growth, you need to know who you really are. As human beings, we don’t like to change because it makes us uncomfortable, but there is both pain and pleasure on the path to knowing who you are. Letting yourself go in a new direction is just a way of becoming who you are truly meant to be. When we refuse to change, we limit our ability to grow. Our potential is limitless, and when we stick to one thing we label ourselves as only that. Every different path in your life is part of your journey, and like all paths, there are many shifts and turns. We have been...
