franchise again. 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.039 Um obviously they didn't really ask him anything about the the investigation that went on. 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:54.160 I think the league kind of smashed that and made sure that that shit wasn't gonna be a tough topic of conversation. 00:17:54.319 --> 00:18:03.519 Uh being a distraction headed into the season, obviously for Kawhi, obviously for the league, and you know, even more so for the Toronto Raptors after they finally approved and you know got the trade pulled off. 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.319 So Kawhi kept a super vanilla, which I respect, you know. 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.640 So it's good to see him finally make that transition. 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:15.759 Um and you know, make the East Coast, the East Conference, I would say, a little bit more interesting this year coming up, you know. 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:35.359 Uh from there, we got other Eastern Conference teams kind of uh going through their media days and saying some things, and most notably, you know, we all saw it on the online with social media or over the ESPNs, whatever sports outlets man LeBron, his first time speaking at the Philadelphia Media Day, uh gave the biggest sound bites that we'll say in the NBA. 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:40.559 Uh just because it is who it is, it is LeBron, and you know, it is a big deal that he's going to Philadelphia this year. 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:51.759 I do think that it kind of showed a lot about, you know, well, he basically admitted to where his thought process was at, uh headed into free agency and how we and the Knicks, you know, fucked up his plans about coming to New York. 00:18:52.160 --> 00:19:00.160 Like, you know, like we said before, bro, like you you you had the opportunity multiple times, you could have came to the Knicks at least a good two times before your career. 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.480 Three maybe if we want to, you know, stretch it out. 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.559 But at least a good two times you could have came to the Knicks. 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:10.799 And now we're just seeing how much he kind of, you know, where his heart is really at, is the way I'm putting it, you know. 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:18.480 You know, just from the fact that he was talking about how he put out there basically that the Knicks were going to be his selection had the Knicks not win the championship. 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.880 And I thought it was kind of it's LeBron, so it obviously he's gonna say what the fuck he wants to. 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.720 He's the biggest face in the league, you know, over the last however many damn years. 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.480 So it is what it is as far as that goes. 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:37.680 But like for him to even say that at the Philadelphia press conference, it kind of gave off, like, okay, second fiddle is is is where we at right now. 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:46.400 Um and I don't know how the teammates would take that or would feel about that, but it does show that he was really planning on trying to go to the New York Knicks. 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:53.920 Um even more so the fact that now he's saying he's gonna split time between Philadelphia and New York as far as where he's living while playing with the Sixers. 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.240 Like the man wants to be in New York. 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.920 Like we we know that. 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:02.079 Like at this point, I feel even more validated in my thoughts on that. 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:11.039 But the man wants to be in New York, and I don't know why you ducked the smoke for so long, bro, because you could have made this thing a thing uh a long time ago, and we could have had some some different years in the past. 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.839 But that said, it is what it is, it's water under the bridge, bro. 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:19.200 Rock out of Philly, we're gonna see you on opening night, and then we're gonna see how things go throughout the rest of the season. 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.079 But big champs, we're still living off champ energy. 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:28.960 And speaking of the champs, you know, I like how they how they came out in their media day, you know, the all-business mentality that they kind of go on into the season with. 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:37.920 Um recognizing that they went through a crazy summer, um, and the Knicks were everywhere once once the championship was actually in hand and brought back to the city. 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.720 Jalen Brunson just did Saturday and Saturday Night Live. 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.079 I've seen a few clips from that. 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.519 Uh was I would say he did a good job, you know. 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:54.079 Athletes when they get into the acting and definitely that kind of acting uh as far as the comedic side of things, it doesn't always hit, but I think he did a decent job with that. 00:20:54.319 --> 00:21:05.920 But that said, I know that the whole championship run shit was a thing, and respecting everything the Knicks have done and making themselves that, you know, I guess that much of a hot hot topic all summer. 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.839 Um but it's kinda locked the fuck back in. 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.200 That's all I'm gonna say now. 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:15.519 Like the Eastern Conference is going to be a gauntlet this year, and we ain't got no time to fuck around as far as that goes. 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:20.160 Like we got Miami down there, not too many really people, not too many people really talking about them. 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:25.200 I still think that you know they they might not be the cream of the crowd, but we gotta worry about them. 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.039 Gotta worry about Philly, you know that. 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:31.279 Gotta worry about Boston just because of you know the way the system is around Boston. 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.960 And then we got Jason Tatum over

there. 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.960 We gotta worry about Toronto, we know that. 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:39.920 So I think the Knicks have done a great job of putting themselves in position to have a good summer. 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.359 That shit's over now. 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.640 And that's all I'm gonna say. 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.799 You know, and especially with all the people talking big shit about how the next championship was a fluke. 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:47.599 This, this, that. 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.000 Like, hey man, everybody's opinions, everybody's opinions. 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:55.200 We will not have to wait too long to find out what's going on this season with all these moves that have been made. 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.839 We ain't even talking about the Western Conference and all that shit going on out there. 00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.759 They still got the Spurs poppin' big. 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:05.839 Make sure that they press conferences, OKC's back, like you know, it it'll be an interesting season as far as how things go. 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:14.799 But I think the Eastern Conference will be the stronger conference of the two, uh, which is a little bit of a pivot from things have how things have been historically, and definitely in recent years. 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.839 So, hey, October's almost here. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.160 End of October, those first games kicking off, man. 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.200 But right now, we still got other sports that are being played. 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.960 Uh, and the main one that I won't even talk about really is just the football situation. 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:31.440 Uh, American football, you know, we ain't talk about my the football football. 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:45.839 Uh American football here, and after this last weekend, some interesting developments that we've seen happen, uh, especially within the NFC East conference, uh, the conference that I pay the most attention to because it is a conference that my New York Giants are a part of. 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.240 I will say right now that the NFC East is looking real open and real sweet uh at this point, you know. 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.920 Uh Philadelphia Eagles just took that L, just took the L to the Bears and got their ass whooped. 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.920 Like that was a belt-to-ass game, for real. 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.759 Like, belt-to-ass game in the true sense of belt to ass. 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.559 And I gotta check on all my Philly people. 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.279 Like, you know, I know we do this back and forth banter. 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:10.720 I fuck with y'all. 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:18.559 I'm just asking y'all how y'all feel all day today and headed into the next game when y'all get a chance to maybe prove that you you'll fall on the other side of things. 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.599 But right now, man, the NFC East is looking sweet. 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.200 Cowboys, Duty. 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:29.519 We we we did our thing with them the first game, and now they ain't really spared too well behind that. 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:34.480 You know, the loss to the Ravens, again, my second favorite football team was beautiful to see, man. 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:35.599 Was beautiful to see. 00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:39.519 Uh uh went down to the wire for sure, to the truest sense of down to the wire. 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.599 And I'm happy that one came out the way they came out. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:46.079 Uh, but listen, man, we're sitting at the top of the NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles, tied for two-on-one. 00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.000 We play Arizona this week coming up. 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.480 You know, I know our quarterback situation is a little bit testy. 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.200 Um, I am of the mindset that we got to do something. 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.440 This Jameis Winston shit ain't gonna get it done. 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:05.759 You know, shouts to Jameis for all the the memes, all the social media allure that he has, but bro, like as far as playing quarterback, we need something else. 00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.359 You know, Jackson Dark shit is over. 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:08.960 We're not gonna sit and dwell on that too long. 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:10.319 Hopefully you got yourself together. 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:17.200 Hopefully you put yourself in a better, better space after witnessing what we did as far as how he went out and you know where he's at. 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.880 I ain't really spoke about it too much because it it's kind of it's kind of whack, you know. 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.880 And I understand for all the Giants fans who had the heartbroken feeling, but fuck all that, bro. 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:25.680 Don't nobody care. 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.799 We got to do what we gotta do. 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.960 And I think we have a chance to be competitive within the NFC East and to make the playoffs. 00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:39.519 We just gotta figure out this quarterback shit and you know, pray that we can get JJ McCarthy to do something bigger than what the fuck he's been doing right now. 00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:44.000 Um, not really a fan of that sign either, but hey man, they gotta take a swing or something. 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:50.720 I'm of the mindset that what Stephen A said that we probably should have tried to see if we could finagle the Shador situation. 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.759 But hey, man, we gotta do what we gotta do. 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:58.160 You know, right now, it's very early in the season and we're still competitive, so we'll take it. 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:03.440 It is a win for Giants fans three weeks into the season compared to how the last few years have been. 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.640 So just live with that, man. 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.920 It's a week-to-week thing.

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:07.839 We're gonna see how it goes. 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.640 Moving on, moving forward from the sports realm. 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:26.400 Um, we'll tap in for you know stuff going on with EFS uh and just kind of getting into what the the last quarter of the year is gonna look like like with uh my announcing of the fourth quarter challenge uh as part of the EFS training center. 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:32.319 Uh, for those of you that are you know members of the center and podcast listeners, because we got a few of them on a few of them on here. 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.160 Um we launch it, man. 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.039 We're doing this thing. 00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:39.759 Uh the actual date will be determined as far as when we start pretty soon. 00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:44.799 Uh gotta figure some things out on my end as far as you know making sure that I can execute everything properly. 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:51.119 Uh, but we're gonna rock this thing from October into January, closing out the fourth quarter of the year on a strong note. 00:25:51.359 --> 00:26:06.319 Um now, reason being uh that we all get through you know the the holiday times, uh the into the fall, the Halloweens, the Thanksgiving, the Christmas, like a lot of people head into this time of the year and they kind of take their foot off the gas pedal. 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:18.000 Um, but from my you know, my perspective and my like uh what I like to try to live by, you know, the the last quarter of the year is the time you really want to close things on a strong note, you know. 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.319 Um uh whether that be in business, you know, the fourth quarter is always a big thing in business. 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.519 How are you closing a year? 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:40.880 You know, right now with this challenge, what we're talking about is kind of like a from a uh a health and wellness perspective, you know, heading into the holidays with the right mindset of how you're gonna treat your body and focusing on, you know, what you want your next two and a half to three months to look like before you even start off 2027. 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:47.519 And I know when we get to New Year's, we we often give ourselves a good resolution and try to, you know, make the best of it. 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:53.039 But then we get into the year and get into the same cycle of the shit that we used to do uh the year before. 00:26:53.119 --> 00:27:01.279 Uh so for me, when you get to the point where you want to make transitional change, you got to be ready for it by the time you get to that point. 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:19.599 Um, and with the fourth quarter challenge, what we're looking to do is help you can create some sustainable habits headed into 2027 uh while having something to focus on here at the end of 2026 uh that's a little bit lengthier and that you have to put a lot of effort and time and planning and you know, just making sure that

you got your T's crossed and I's dotted too. 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.160 You know, that is what the fourth quarter challenge is all about. 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:50.319 Uh to give some small details for the time being, there's gonna be like a combined style uh uh testing of different things and different capabilities that you have, uh, whether it be like your vertical jump or your bench press, just to name a couple things uh that we are gonna actually do, uh not to give you the fullest just yet, but once we test those things, the goal is to have a consistency through the three months that the challenge is uh gonna run, or roughly around three months that the challenge is gonna run, um, to be able to see progress in those areas. 00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:56.000 And then through seeing the progress, the goal will be to retest at the end of the challenge itself. 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:01.200 Um, and there'll be a scoring like rubric to kind of determine who gets the most points for this and that. 00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:06.160 Um, and I know people's different levels of fitness are are, you know, one's one and another's another. 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:19.119 So it's not about being the most athletic person uh that's gonna get you to win this challenge, but it will be about the person who has the most consistency and has the most improvement in their overall fitness and overall regimen. 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.359 Um, that is, you know, the person that'll eventually win. 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.920 So it'll be$100 to register for the challenge. 00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:29.680 Uh and the winner of that can receive$500, you know, the person who you know comes out on top. 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:38.880 Um, and it is open to all of my clients who are at the center, um the people that are there for group sessions or the people that are there for personal training sessions with myself. 00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.880 Um, so challenges coming. 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:42.400 Official data will be launched soon. 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:51.200 Uh, but yeah, man, really want to kind of spice things up to head to the close of the year and give myself something to kind of put my foot on the gas pedal uh to make my way towards 2027. 00:28:51.279 --> 00:29:04.240 You know, it's over a year, you know, since I've left my last gig and kind of took on this whole entrepreneurial journey and have learned a lot within it and just been in a position to really, really like kind of mold myself and mold the business into what I want it to look like. 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.920 And it's been very fulfilling. 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:13.440 But, you know, I think this with running this first challenge that as a staple for the you know the year, because the plan will be to do this every single year. 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:23.279 Um, so I think it'll be something that that that's great to kind of brand the facility and and again bring some community and bring some progress to people who are looking to do something a little bit special. 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:25.599 Uh again, the close of the year for themselves, you know. 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:46.160 Um, and with that said, it's not really a thing to make it seem like you have to be that that make that much improvement, as I said a little bit before, but just something to get you into the mindset of like what you can do within the time you have now uh with your own eating your life and the things that you want out of it, you know, uh from a fitness sense. 00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.759 Outside of that, you know, hopefully the the personal life is great. 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:57.200 But you know, either way, moving forward from there, we will tap in for a couple things just all on the EFS side. 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:05.680 Uh, wanted to talk about something that kind of came off of our last conversation, our last episode we had uh with Christine Jehoo. 00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.119 And thank you for her for coming out for the episode um to do that episode with me. 00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.079 It was very, very fulfilling conversation that we had. 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:34.880 Um, but she did give me some kind of perspective off-mic and you know, throughout some of the conversation we were having on mic, uh, and uh one of the things that stood out the most was the unsexy work that she was talking about when it comes to like entrepreneurialism, um, and just the repeated, the unsexy things that you do repeated over and over and over and over again, that is what leads to you know the bigger outcomes or the bigger success for yourself. 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:50.319 Um, so with that, I just was in a space to where I was kind of just reflecting on the conversation that we had, uh, but going through my paces, and like the week after it was a point where like I was kind of burnt out a little bit just because I, you know, grinding and putting the hours in. 00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:57.359 And uh I was falling asleep more than my significant other, who you know is historically the one who falls asleep first. 00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:01.359 And it put me in a space of like, damn, okay, I'm really like kind of tired this week. 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:08.960 But then being self-aware enough to understand that, like, yeah, you are putting a lot of hours, so just get a little bit more sleep, bro. 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.440 That's it. 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:15.759 But you know, understanding that right now I'm going through the unsexy times is is what I kind of wanted to touch on. 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:30.480 Um, and just being in a position to kind of figure things out on a month-by-month basis, uh, because with this business, there's something every single month that it's like kind of hangs in the balance early, or just like things we got to figure out and just make sure that they are they are running smoothly. 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.519 And then again, having a chance for the business

to grow little by little. 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:53.599 Um, so the times now where I'm really busting my ass to get the the promotions of everything out there, make it more visible, make people aware of the fact that, you know, we are a facility and we're you know offering services and it just grow in the brand in all senses, you know, with the podcast, with apparel, with all those other things that I'm trying to do. 00:31:53.680 --> 00:32:00.480 It's like, you know, right now is like the very unsexy time where everything feels like a little bit of a struggle, everything feels a little chaotic. 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:15.200 Um, but through that on a month-by-month basis, this is from last year when I was kind of like planning to start the facility, like everything on a month-to-month basis makes me feel a little bit sharper and a little bit more uh, I guess, seasoned at what I'm doing. 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:20.319 And I'm not gonna sit here and again, I would never appreciate like I got it all figured out because I do not. 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:43.200 Uh, but I think that appreciating the unsexy work that you're doing does not have to come later, you know, once the the success and the big goals are right in front of you and the things you really want to achieve, once you cross those benchmarks for yourself, I don't think it's always the time to look back and say, like, oh, like, you know, now have the the moment of appreciation for all the things that you've been through. 00:32:43.359 --> 00:33:11.119 Like, I think while you're going through it is also a time for you to recognize and appreciate it, just because it's kind of seeing your success happen little by little in real time, whether it be two more people signing up to be members of the facility, whether it be a few more people like listening to the podcast and the network on a month-to-month basis, like seeing the downloads for the podcast increasing little by little with the consistency of me putting it out over the last few months or so since I locked back in on it, was even more encouraging. 00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:16.880 Like, damn, like I'm I got, you know, and not to throw real big numbers or anything out there because I ain't got that yet. 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:24.319 But to see like 250 to 300 people downloading my episodes on a month-to-month basis now is like, okay, that's super encouraging. 00:33:24.480 --> 00:34:06.799 Because I remember when it was five to ten, not so long ago as far as the years, like, you know, so the little steps and the little growth while you're doing all the unsexy things uh that aren't aren't the most glamorized when you get to the big big achievements, you gotta appreciate those times too, because just knowing that staying in the midst of those and being so locked in on what you actually want to achieve, but understanding that these small things that I'm doing are these small little achievements of the things that are happening to me right now in the midst of me looking to get to the bigger thing are things you also got to take down and appreciate, you know, and just you know, stay in love with the grind, like a la Jalen Brunson at the beginning of the podcast, like the magic is in the work. 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:14.000 Like the the things you should appreciate are the small, small things that you're working on to get you to that big, big goal. 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:26.639 Um, and don't look back at it and not be one to kind of appreciate what you actually had in the moment, which is a time to be sharp, a time to go through getting your ass kicked and then pick yourself back up and then get a little bit better on the other side of it. 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:45.679 So, you know, my message to those, anybody who's out there who's you know working towards anything, whether it be an athletic goal, whether it be a business goal, whether it be a life goal or anything, like you you gotta also appreciate the the struggling times that you're going through it, and and you know, just knowing the other side of it that the the outcome will be there, you know. 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:46.800 And that's that. 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.840 So, as always, man, as we wrap this thing up, gonna tell you to stay safe in this crazy world. 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.119 Um, and guard you said mentally, physically, and spiritually. 00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:58.239 Until the next time, the EFS podcast is out. 00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.159 Catch you in peace.
