A short YouTube monologue (April 12, 2024) advising viewers to use time productively by "being a sponge": observe successful people, find verified mentors in fields you care about, and commit seriously (e.g., six months) to learning—contrasting this with wasting time on entertainment and social media.
Have you had any other mentors or big influences in business and in life? I'm a firm believer in just being a sponge. So there's two ways you get to spend your time wasting time watching basketball or football and scrolling through Instagram looking at women, or women looking at a man, or looking at something that's not going to benefit you. Or you can invest your time being a sponge, learning things, being observant, and seeing what these successful people are doing, learning different tricks, learning different trades. My advice I give to everybody is find something that you have a passion for and just go find the mentor in that industry that has a blueprint that you can verify with his actual mentees that it works. And then from there, just take it serious and lock yourself down for six months. And then I promise you, you'll come out victorious.
