The Graffiti MachineShould we add graffiti interviews?I'm going to start doing interviews with graffiti writers and have a question for you. Would you like to see/hear this kind of content on this show, or would you prefer it just stays the way it is? Right now, what I'm thinking is, I'll start releasing two episodes per week. One personal development style like we've been doing, and one graffiti interview style episode. Would love your feedback. Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @bus166, or if you're seeing this on YouTube, feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts. I appreciate all of y...2024-05-2405 min
The Graffiti MachineSharpen Your Axe Most have probably heard the quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” or some variation of it. There's also a version of the concept in the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People talking about sharpening the saw. Sharpening the axe or saw is about preparation and being more effective. The concept of taking time to prepare rather than just powering through with a dull tool is can be applied to pretty much any aspect of your life. I was listening to a podcast recent...2024-03-2225 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Two Sides of MomentumWe all find ourselves in a rut from time to time. Whether it's an artist block, work related, fitness or whatever, sometimes we aren't feeling the motivation to get it done. The best way out of a rut I've found is to simply force yourself to start rather than waiting to be motivated. Sometimes it feels nearly impossible with motivation being so low. To effectively force momentum, a good way is to find easy tasks that get you moving. The more you get done, the more momentum you'll build. Eventually, you don't even need motivation at all. You'll be fully o...2024-03-1520 min
The Graffiti MachineMind Control When we think of mind control, we may think of it as some kind of science fiction shit, but if you really think about it, we allow people to control our minds all the time. If someone says something that offends you, you might get pissed and let thoughts grow like weeds in your mind. Some people can spend hours, days or even longer in this state. The person that orginially offended you has probably moved on with their life, but there you are running through it over and over. You've allowed that person or situation to control your mind. Yo...2023-05-3018 min
The Graffiti MachineWho are you?An interesting concept to ponder is our identity. If asked who we are, we might respond with our name, occupation, hobby, or another label we've chosen to identify ourselves with. However, in reality, none of these things truly represent us. Some argue that even the voice in our heads isn't truly us; rather, we are the listener to that voice.2023-05-2420 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Massive Value of Combining Urgency and PatienceThere is a balance between urgency and patience when it comes to working towards your own true potential. Urgency keeps you motivated until things take longer than you expected. That's where patience comes in. Losing patience can sap motivation and you'll lose your urgency. Balancing the two can be the answer to maintaining forward momentum.2023-05-1024 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Last TimeThere isn't anything in your life that is permanent. Every single thing you do, there will be a last time you do it. The last time you pet your dog, the last time you go to your favorite restaurant, even the last time you breathe. Given that we never know when that last time will be, it is vital that we learn to be present in the moment, because you don't know if that's the last time you'll have that experience. In a society filled with distractions, we can very easily spend those last times completely distracted...2023-05-0229 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Universal LawsIn this episode, we dive into the 12 universal laws that govern the universe and explore how they can help us live more fulfilling lives. We discuss each law somewhat in detail and examine how they are interconnected. I truly believe that whether or not you believe in them, living your life and making decisions with these laws in mind will lead to a better life.2023-04-2045 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Power of ProximityThere's a phrase that says you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. I'm not sure how true this is, but I know there is a lot of power in being around people. Putting yourself around people that are further along than you can have a huge effect on helping you progress.2023-04-0626 min
The Graffiti MachineBelief Follows ActionHow many things have you had trouble starting becuase you didn't believe in the outcome? There is a simple, but often not easy formula to follow. Even if you don't believe you can achieve something, if you start working towards it, then get some results, you'll start to believe. Keep going, even when shit gets hard and eventually you'll believe in it.2023-03-1816 min
The Graffiti MachineYou Get What You Focus OnYou've likely seen this happen where you decide to buy a certain car or something like that, then all of a sudden, you're seeing them everywhere. Today, we talk about how focusing on negative or positive things can have a similar effect. The more you focus on negative the more you see, so why not focus on positive things to see more of that?2023-02-0912 min

The Graffiti MachineYou Might Not Have Time I’ve been thinking about time a lot lately. On one hand, you could look at things like Gary Vee where he says you have a lot more time than you think you do. Sometimes I think, “man I’m almost 50 and I’m not where I feel I should be”, but the way Gary looks at it is, I got a shitload more life left to make things happen. I agree with this to a certain extent. The reality is, we may not have the time we think we do. Not just in how much longer you have on the planet...2023-01-0115 min
The Graffiti MachineMystery BeefHow many beefs have started over complete misunderstandings? I would imagine more often than not, these are how they start. Then we jump in and fire back, which makes it worse. The cycle continues until it is resolved in one way or the other. There is a famous quote by Viktor Frankl:“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” What if we all took that space between the stimulus and response? How many conflicts coul...2022-11-1017 min
The Graffiti MachineDon't Burn The SpotWe have a phrase in graffiti that goes “Don’t burn the spot”. It’s one of the unwritten rules of the game. In general it’s meant to keep people from fucking up things for other people. What if we applied this thinking to other aspects of our lives? Treating little things that we may not think they matter as if they do.2022-11-0213 min
The Graffiti MachineDeveloping the skill of quieting your mind.There's a simple way to quiet your mind, but it takes a lot of practice.

The Graffiti MachinePrioritize and ExecuteWe all get overwhelmed at times. Sometimes it gets to the point where it causes inaction. Everything seems to be occupying your mind at the same time. With everything feeling the same importance, it’s nearly impossible to decide how to move forward. This is where one of the laws of combat can be applied. Decide on the priority and execute. I learned about this from the book The Dichotomy Of Leadership.2022-10-1907 min
The Graffiti MachineThree Things That Improved My Life In All AreasIf I had to break down three daily habits that have drastically improved my life, it would be the three things I discuss in this episode.2022-10-0618 min
The Graffiti MachineThe Action Is the GoalSometimes—maybe even most of the time—making the action the goal rather than focusing on the actual goal is the best way to go. It can be overwhelming when you have big goals to get paralyzed by the enormity of it all, but if you focus on the day to day actions required to achieve it, it can really help you continue moving forward.2022-09-2813 min
The Graffiti MachinePersonal Excellence Is the SolutionIf you're committed to making the world better, the best way to do it is starting with yourself. Being committed to personal excellence will not only improve your life, but it will spread to those around you. Developing yourself isn't just about you. It's about anyone that is paying attention to you. It's about being the example of what is possible so other people can believe they can do the same.2022-09-2211 min

The Graffiti Machine075: What are the odds?The odds of us an individuals is so low, it can't really be measured. If you look at your life and the things you have, it's possible that any number of things could have either happened, or not happened that would have completely changed everything. It's something we can look at to maintain perspective. We could have so easily never existed, so why not be happy every day just to be here?

The Graffiti MachineNegative Thoughts, Positive ActionNegative thoughts are very common. There is research that says that our brains look for negativity for survival. Back when we were in the food chain, we had to pay attention to things to avoid becoming some predator's meal. Now, we have less concern about this kind of thing, but our brains are still the same. Negative stress and anxiety often comes in the form of negative "what if" questions that can plague us. We can use the feelings these thoughts produce as a trigger to remind us that we are thinking negatively and also trigger us to take positive a...2022-07-1212 min
The Graffiti MachineAre you interested or committed?Often times we try to do something and set ourselves up for failure because we "try" to do it rather than commit. It seems like a subconsious way of giving ourself an out in case we want to give up. If we commit, we know it's going to hurt more if we give up.

The Graffiti MachineAct on Your Good ThoughtsIn chapter 1 of How Successful People Think, John C. Maxwell mentions that our ideas have a short shelf life and we need to act on them before they expire. He quotes World war 1 flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker “I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through—then follow through.” How many great, potentially life changing ideas do we let expire?2022-04-1909 min
The Graffiti Machine065: IntentionThere is something to be said about setting your intentions, visualizing, and putting in work to accomplish your future goals.

The Graffiti MachineDeep WorkWe live in an age of distraction. Data and our attention are the most valuable commodities on the planet and there are lots of things fighting for it. Our phones, the news, apps, notifications, social media, the list is endless. Learning, or in some cases, relearning to fully focus our attention on one thing at a time is becoming more and more valuable.2022-03-1128 min
The Graffiti MachineOrder and ChaosThe line between order and chaos is very thin. There is no avoiding chaos. In fact, the more you try to avoid it, the less prepared you will be when it comes. Making everything safe may not be making us safe. It may be leaving us very unprepared and not mentally tough enough to overcome adversity. Enjoy the times of order, but prepare for chaos every day.2022-03-0327 min

The Graffiti MachineF*ck It MomentsWe all know it takes effort to change ourselves. The further away you get from your old ways, the easier it is to resist the urges that may be pulling you back. What is interesting is, when you do say "fuck it" and revert back to old behavior even for a moment, it can take a large amount of willpower to get back on the path.2022-01-2814 min
The Graffiti MachineDon't Break the StreakThe idea of don't break the streak or don't break the chain is a simple but powerful concept. It's about creating a streak of wins. If you're trying to build a skill, or form a habit that will benefit from daily activity, every day you complete that activity is another link in the chain. The longer it gets, the more motivated you'll be to not break it.2022-01-1910 min

The Graffiti MachineCore ValuesEstablishing core values is a fairly common thing in the business world. It’s a vital tool in creating and maintaining a strong company culture. Less common is establishing them for your own personal life. We all have them to a certain degree, but few of us have them written down and revisit them often. Some people use the shopping cart analogy. Putting the shopping cart away or leaving it next to your car when you’re done is a reflection of your core values.

Have you ever thought about how much money is being made off of people being fat, sick and lazy? We're programmed from a very young age to desire terrible ‘food’. Look at the messaging on sugar and chemical filled cereals, kids menus, sugary drinks, etc. and this carries over into our adult lives.

The Graffiti MachineThings Can and Will Go WrongWe know that anything we do has the potential to not go the way we intended. It often catches us off guard and negative emotions can come from it. One thing the stoics teach us is to take some time to acknowledge that things can go wrong.

It doesn't pass through. Maybe something that bothers you or triggers a bad memory. We hang onto it, let it invade our mind and sap our energy.
