    Running Away From Comfort to Find Growth (Sales, Skills & Tactical Stress)

    What happens when you voluntarily walk away from comfort, good commission, and an easy sales campaign, to start from scratch?  In this episode of The Sav Show, I break down the concept of tactical stress—the idea of deliberately choosing hard things in order to unlock growth. I share my real story of leaving an "easy" sales campaign where I was hitting targets monthly, to jumping into one with a lot more work and a lot less certainty. This episode is for anyone who feels like they've gone soft, comfortable, or is watching an opportunity to grow pass them by. In this episode: → What "tactical stress" means and why you should seek it out → My 9-month journey in a great, easy-to-sell insurance campaign → Why comfort can silently erode your skills and confidence → The moment I decided to put my hand up and leave—before anyone asked me to → How I went from barely surviving week 1 to hitting target on the final day → Alex Hormozi's framework for building unshakeable self-belief If the obstacle is the way—are you running at yours? 🎙️ Subscribe for weekly episodes on mindset, sales, and personal growth 📩 Read the full newsletter on Substack: https://champcamp.substack.com 0:00 - Intro: Welcome to The Sav Show 0:13 - What is Tactical Stress? 1:30 - How I got into selling private health insurance 3:00 - The "easy" campaign — where the product sells itself 5:00 - When the cracks started to show 6:30 - Seeing the writing on the wall 8:10 - Volunteering to leave before being asked 9:30 - Starting over in the broker space (15 funds, new everything) 11:30 - The brutal first two weeks 13:00 - The turning point: having a real conversation with myself 14:30 - 12-14 hour days, 200 dials — going all in 16:00 - Hitting target on the final day 17:39 - What it really meant (beyond the result) 18:24 - Alex Hormozi on building self-belief through evidence 19:00 - The message: Run towards the fire

    How I Stay Sane in an Insane World (A Stoic Code for Modern Life)

    The world feels unhinged right now. War. Violence. Political division. A mental health crisis is playing out in real time. It’s easy to lose your footing—and even easier to lose your humanity. In this episode, I share the Stoic toolkit I actually live by. Not theory. Not alpha TikTok BS. Practice. Seven Stoic tools that help me stay grounded, clear, and human in a world that rewards rage and reaction. This isn’t about avoiding pain. It’s about meeting preparation for it. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, cynical, or mentally cooked—this one’s for you. With gratitude, SAV PS.

    I Stopped Escaping My Life — And Everything Changed

    In this video, I explore a different way of thinking about rest, burnout, and personal growth — not as something you find by escaping your life, but by learning how to build a mind and a life you don’t need to run from.Drawing on Stoic philosophy, especially the words of Marcus Aurelius, I break down why the deepest form of peace isn’t found in another country, a new job, or a better routine — but inside your own mind.We talk about why modern culture misunderstands rest, how ancient thinkers approached mental clarity, and the simple daily practices that helped me stop escaping my life and start enjoying it.This isn’t about hustle or toxic positivity.It’s about building discipline, gratitude, awareness, and a relationship with your own mind that feels like home.If you’ve ever felt burned out, restless, or constantly chasing the next escape, this one’s for you.With gratitude,SAVIf you’re into MMA, rap music, resilience, and real stories, you’re in the right place. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Join the 28-Day Gratitude Sprint 👉 https://savilian.kit.com/sprint-signup💿 Music for the grinders still in the fight 👉 https://www.even.biz/r/champ-camp📧 Stoic lessons & hip-hop stories—read now 👉 https://champcamp.substack.com/⁠📲 You can also find me here:⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/savilianhttps://www.threads.com/@savilianhttps://www.tiktok.com/@savilianFor inquiries: sav@savilian.me👉 Hit Subscribe and join the journey.👉 Stream my new project CHAMP CAMP EP on Apple Music & everywhere you listen.👊 ATG Music Video: https://bit.ly/ATGMusicVideo📒 Gratitude Journal: ⁠⁠⁠ https://payhip.com/b/5CZH7#Rap #HipHop #Stoicism #Savilian #MMA #UFC 00:00 The Holiday Nobody Talks About00:45 Why We Look for Rest in the Wrong Places01:40 What the Stoics Understood About Peace02:35 Retreating Into Your Own Mind03:30 Why Escaping Your Life Doesn’t Work04:25 Practices That Make the Mind a Better Place05:30 Discipline, Knowledge & Gratitude06:25 Final Reflection: Building a Life You Don’t Need to Escape

    A Stoic Guide on How to Prepare for Sh*t C**ts

    I live by a very simple code. A code that informs almost everything I do—from my politics to my daily decisions, my philosophical views and my vision for the future. I’ve seen the absolute worst of humanity; hell, I’ve even been the worst of humanity! But I’ve also seen and been myself the best that humanity has to offer. I understand the difficulties and complexities of life, but I am also acutely aware of the power of the individual to sidestep demise and empower themselves. Life is tough, but we are all infinitely powerful. So my very simple code can be boiled down to these 7 words: Expect the best, prepare for the worst With gratitude, SAV 💿 Music for the grinders still in the fight 👉  https://www.even.biz/r/champ-camp 📧 Stoic lessons & hip-hop stories—read now 👉 https://champcamp.substack.com/ ⁠📲 You can also find me here: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/savilian https://www.threads.com/@savilian https://www.tiktok.com/@savilian For inquiries: sav@savilian.me 👉 Hit Subscribe and join the journey. 👉 Stream my new project CHAMP CAMP EP on Apple Music & everywhere you listen.

    Relationships Are Like Bank Accounts (Garry Vee, Circa and The Art of Reciprocity)

    I'm such a huge believer in giving uncomfortably to people I care about; fans, family, friends etc. Because I know how much value that creates and how much it can strengthen the bond. It's the art of reciprocity. There is a selfishness in selflessness. In giving, we receive.

    The Entitlement Trap (Kanye West, 360 & The Modern Man)

    If you are alive, have a roof over your head, purpose in life and people who love you... you have it all. Like, it literally does not get any better! But, instead of seeing the good, so many see the bad... and that... that is what I call the entitlement trap!

    Overcoming self-doubt is not a straight line...

    One of my all-time favourite sayings. "If not me, then who? If not now, then when?" It is a simple call to arms, a self-reflective commentary on one's duty or willingness to do the work. The saying has been reserved for big moments or moments of crisis. When the chips are stacked against a person or movement, it is a rallying cry to all those listening—responsibility and ownership of the outcome starts now, with us. I used the sentence recently. Let me explain...
