This Saturday, August 31, will mark the 3 year anniversary of launching this podcast.  It amazes me how fast time can fly by when you’re head down, focused and putting in that work day after day trying to build your baby into a monster. Since the jump, I’ve treated this project as if my back was against the wall and the only direction I could move was forward. The mindset was, there is no option B, we will find a way to make this work - to go all in. So what does it take to go all in? Discipline Consistency  Patience Self-belief  Work Ethic Health Willingness To Learn Sacrifices  Responsibility Gratitude  Check out the full podcast with Ben Nemtin, Episode 141 - The Ripple Effect  - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback OR screenshot this Episode, post it to your Instagram Story tagging @Bobbbaaaay!  - Support the Bearded Man Content via Patreon!

JZAC is a hip-hop artist from New Hampshire. During his sophomore year at Plymouth State University he recorded his first song on his friends Macbook internal microphone. The passion grew quickly and so he decided to go all in and bought himself recording equipment, software and began investing all of his time and energy into the craft. Graduating with an Integrated Marketing & Communications degree, he worked at a local Frito-Lays warehouse and Market Basket to continue funding the music career. What helped gain him exposure early on was creating freestyle videos that would go viral on Twitter. With all the inbound traffic he was getting from the videos, he was prepared and had some of his newest projects and singles for people to check out or music videos they could watch.  Fast forward seven plus years since he started writing and recording, he’s now living in LA full-time off of his music. What he believes separates himself from other artists is his ability to be honest and authentic by telling his st

I treat the content I consume on social media as if it’s a diet. I’ve been constantly cutting out all the junk and doing my best to only consume the “pieces” that are helping me, inspiring me or entertaining me. This isn’t about me trying to be the “cool” kid in town that follows less people than the number of people that follow the bearded man. This is about me getting super disciplined about the images, videos, text etc that I consume on a day to day basis. All of these pieces of content are fueling my mind and I want that premium quality baby, FILL ME UP! For the people or pages I do follow, I let their success inspire me to keep going. Thank you for the daily inspo! Seeing these people succeed in all areas of life gets me hyped! There is no time to fall into the comparison trap of getting jealous, there’s only time for me to make moves myself. If I’ve realized anything it’s that there’s enough room for everyone to win. Period. It doesn't matter what your career goals might be. If you see someone doing som

The key is creating routines that reinforce our new habits that will help us achieve whatever our goals might be. Routines Breed Habits: Write A Contract To Yourself (enforces commitment) This is what I want to do and there is no option B Stick it to your wall, background on Phone, sticky note in car Pick a certain day of week or time of day you’re going to do “the thing” (reinforces discipline) Weekly podcast, gym 6 days a week When it hits that “time” you know it’s time to do the thing Focusing In On ONE step forward TODAY (builds consistency) Forget about how long it’ll take, we’ll eventually get there Assess progress, make changes & keep going How is my progress? What’s working? What changes do I need to make? Repeat, repeat, repeat. These Habits don’t magically happen overnight, they take weeks or even months to build. How long something will take is besides the point, that time will eventually come! - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast
