    #3398: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 4 of 4]

    This is part four, the final part of my series on killing passive aggression. Today I’m breaking down three more bad habits you need to kill. First, stop being the messenger for someone else’s words—let them speak for themselves. Second, don’t get others to fight your battles, and don’t fight theirs. Third, if you think something might bother someone, talk to them first—or just own what you did and deal with it. At Work On Your Game University, we turn discipline into dominance so you can win in mindset, structure, strategy, and execution. Show Notes:  [00:35]#10 Telling you what someone else said about you instead of owning it.  [05:06]#11 Never get someone else to confront on your behalf.  [13:10]#12 I didn't know it would bother you.

    #3397: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 3 of 4]

    This is part three of my four-part series on killing passive aggression. Today I’m talking about three specific tactics: withholding enthusiasm, praising someone’s competition, and pouting or sulking. These are sneaky ways people avoid saying what’s really on their mind. Women often use these methods naturally, but when men start doing them, it’s a bigger problem—because as a man, you should be direct and speak up instead of waiting to be prompted. The best way to deal with this behavior? Call it out straight up. Show Notes:  [00:32]#7 Withholding of enthusiasm. [05:54]#8 Praising someone's competition.  [13:43]#9 Instead of sharing that there is an issue, pouting and sulking.

    This is part two of my four-part series on killing your passive aggression. Today I’m talking about three behaviors you need to stop. First, vague language stops hiding behind unclear words and just says where you stand. Second, convenient memory loss deals with issues early instead of pretending you forgot until it blows up. Third, saying yes with your mouth but no with your actions if you’re out of a commitment, say so instead of ghosting on it. Show Notes:  [00:44]#4 Stop using vague language.  [06:29]#5 Convenient memory loss. [10:08]#6 Saying yes in your words, but saying no in your actions.  [18:10]Recap Next Steps: 🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

    #3395: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 1 of 4]

    In this episode, I’m starting a four-part series on killing passive aggressiveness for good, especially in men. Passive aggression is when someone avoids saying things directly, like showing up late on purpose, staying quiet when they should speak, or making a point by doing nothing. I expect that from women sometimes, but when men do it, it makes us weak, soft, and more feminine. I want men to be direct and clear, even if the truth is uncomfortable. If a few guys can change this habit, we can start changing the whole culture. Show Notes:  [06:21]#1 Stop procrastinating on a NO. [13:10]#2 Stop saying you're okay when you're not all right. [21:12]#3 Feigning a lack of understanding to avoid responsibility.

    #3394: Stop Explaining Yourself

    In this episode, I’m talking about why you need to stop explaining yourself so much. When you step into your presence and dominance, you don’t have to justify every action or decision you make. Explaining less not only saves you time and energy, but it also makes you look more powerful. The less you talk about why you did something, the more people respect it. Let’s break down exactly why this works. Show Notes:  [01:11]#1 Explaining yourself to other people is a sign unconsciously of submission and subordination. [06:58]#2  As a general rule, the more explaining you need to do to a person, the less chance they will get it, no matter what you say.

    #3393: When It Makes Sense To "Burn Bridges"

    You’ve probably heard people say you should never burn bridges. They tell you to leave on good terms, be polite, and keep the door open no matter what. But I’m here to flip that. There are times in life when burning the bridge is exactly what you need to do. In this episode, I’ll explain why sometimes you need to make it impossible to go back, and why that can be the best move for your future. Show Notes:  [01:50]#1 You never want to go back, you know you never will, and you want to make sure you never do. [08:32]#2 When you want to give yourself no option but to move forward and not allow yourself to slow down or step backwards.  [19:34]#3 When you realize the comfort and ease have been detrimental to you because of the temptation of and your easy access to them.  [22:12]Recap Next Steps: 🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

    #3392: Why Most People Are Afraid Of True Power

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what true power really is and why most people are scared of it, even though they say they want it. I’ll explain what true power looks like, feels like, and the trade-offs that come with it. If you’ve been listening to me, you know there’s no perfect scenario, only trade-offs. Once you understand what power really means and the responsibility it brings, you’ll see why most people actually don’t want it. Let’s get into it. Show Notes:  [01:40]#1 True power comes with an equal amount of responsibility and accountability for all things.  [11:22]#2 When you have true power, you can't point the finger at anybody.  [19:31]#3 When you have true power, you can actually do all the stuff that you have been thinking about and wishing you could do and talking about doing.  [24:32]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs 1824: The "Race Hustler": Who, What, Why, And What To Do About Them Next Steps: 🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

    #3391: True Discipline Must Survive Inconvenience

    Discipline is easy when things are going well, the real test is when it’s inconvenient. In this episode, I’m talking about why true discipline shows up when the situation is tough, when it’s not set up for you to win, and when showing up is the hardest thing to do. Motivation feels good, but discipline is about doing the work no matter how you feel. This is the secret sauce to professionalism, and today I’m breaking down how to know if your discipline is real. Show Notes:  [01:38]#1 It is not disciplined if it's always easy and is always convenient.  [06:14]#2 The reason people respect discipline is because we all inherently understand that it requires acting in the face of inconvenience.  [13:45]#3 The reason why most people have no discipline is because they will not act in the face of inconvenience.  [18:36]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps: 🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.
