Chapter 1: Why do we overcomplicate our goals?

0.109 - 22.455 Host

You want to talk to somebody, you don't need to have a script. It's just, hey, my name is Jeff. My name Jeff. I was the person that every new year I would whip out my journal, nay-nay my pen, and write down 20 things that I wanted to complete by the end of the year. 11 months would pass, it would be December, I would open that same journal and realize I had done nothing.

But I was, I was so motivated to lock in. Yeah, but I also had 20 things to do and I didn't do the first one so I thought, well, maybe I'll do the second and then I didn't do the second and I was like, well, maybe I'll do none. Keep it simple. My coach used to always say that when we would play soccer.

because I would be doing a Ronaldo chop, I would be going left when I was supposed to go right because I wanted to do a crossover, and then I wanted to send a Messi-like pass, a De Bruyne-level pass, and he's like, Zerky, keep it simple, what are you doing? It's one pass back to the goalie. That's it. Oftentimes we complicate things that could be so simple. And a lot of it is our own wrongdoing.

We think that we need to overcomplicate things because that's the way that we're going to get to our goals. When it's cap. Not true. You want to start making content. You want to start making videos. Awesome goal for this next year. Maybe you wanna make videos about lacrosse. Maybe you wanna make videos about your own personal life. Whatever it is, you should do it like yesterday.

Chapter 2: How can keeping it simple improve your learning?

97.754 - 126.304 Host

But you're gonna start this new year, that's cool. You think, okay, I gotta learn how to shoot on a camera. I gotta learn how to edit. I gotta learn how to post. No! Keep it simple. Learn how to talk in front of the camera, first thing. Everyone has a phone. Set up your phone, yap into it. Do you feel comfortable? If yes, continue. If no, maybe it's not for you.

Chapter 3: What should be your first step in content creation?

126.924 - 142.007 Host

Maybe you wanna just be behind the scenes. You wanna learn how to edit. Download an editing software, tap in. Keep it simple. The more complicated we make things, the less motivated we get to actually try them.

If something is within our grasp and we know we can learn it pretty easily, or it's a little bit challenging, but we know we can learn it, we're more keen to putting our energy into actually learning it. When something is so crazy, it seems like an astrophysics equation, you don't even wanna start. You're done before you even started, bye. So keep it simple.

Chapter 4: How does simplicity affect motivation?

168.997 - 192.199 Host

You wanna talk to somebody, you don't need to have a script. It's just, hey, my name is Jeff. My name Jeff. How are you doing today? I saw you were wearing a Daft Punk shirt. I love Daft Punk. What's up? Oh, I love Daft Punk too. My favorite song is Get Lucky. Keep it simple. By making the easy pass, like my coach said,

You don't need to overcomplicate the simple things because the simple things are already pretty difficult. You need to show up day in, day out, and do it every single day, every other day. You need to get in a flow where you're doing it. That's what it's about. And you won't do that time and time again if it isn't simple.

If your gym routine every time that you go is four hours and you don't like spending four hours in the gym, guess what you're not going to do? Go to the gym. Now, if it's an hour and a half and you're hitting some cardio and you're hitting calves that never seem to grow, all right, we can work with that. That's... Hashtag simple.

Chapter 5: What role does routine play in achieving fitness goals?

Chapter 6: How can you start a conversation without a script?

193.206 - 217.37 Host

You don't need to overcomplicate the simple things because the simple things are already pretty difficult. You need to show up day in, day out, and do it every single day, every other day. You need to get in a flow where you're doing it. That's what it's about. And you won't do that time and time again if it isn't simple.

Chapter 7: Why is it important to show up consistently?

Chapter 8: What is the impact of complexity on your efforts?

142.507 - 167.716 Host
