Yo it's been a while. But we're back with a special guest, Pierce. He's a student at USC and hosts a podcast, just like us. We talk about our first contact with personal growth books and videos and about ways we maximize our own efficiency. Enjoy!
We are back from our hiatus! And we have another UK guest this time, Mr. Oliver Rutherford. He is the co-founder and COO of UniRise, a startup that aims to help students get into their dream universities. We had a blast talking to him this episode and hearing his fresh perspectives on productivity and changing the way we frame education. Take a listen :)
Like we talked about last episode, this episode is a sequel to whether or not you have what it takes. If you have what it takes, how do you go about making a difference? That's the main meat of this episode. So stay tuned if you're curious :)
In this episode, we talk about whether or not you have what it takes to be successful. As we've talked about in all our previous episodes, all it takes is belief in yourself and having the right work ethic in accordance with your ambition.
Hey guys. Sorry for not posting last week. We were both super busy. However, we have a value packed episode today about putting yourself out there. Kevin just recently got an internship at Tesla so we talk about what qualities he had that allowed him to get an internship. On that same note, we talk about how no one is ever going to know what you've done if you never talk about it. So stay tuned and enjoy!
Yes. It's true. You heard it. In this episode, we mainly focus on why pushovers don't do well in the business and work environment. There are 2 key areas at work that being a nice guy causes problems in: compensation negotiations and salary raises. Tune in to learn more!
In this episode, Kevin and Andrew discuss how each person should frame work and life balance in their own life. It all comes down to knowing what it is you want in life and where you are in your life. Who you are today and who you want to be should determine how you balance your time. Enjoy!
Today, we have a shorter episode for you guys. This is the sort of format we'll be doing in future episodes as it's more succinct and also includes less rambling from the two of us :). Anyway, this episode is all about stress. We hit home the point that stress is all about the frame you look at it on. Look at stress as a catalyst to push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to grow. We also talk about how environment(the people you surround yourself with) can either negatively or positively affect your stress levels. Enjoy!
In this episode, Andrew and Kevin talk about why your own self perception is holding you back. In order to be who you want to be, you have to be able to think like who you want to be. We address misconceptions like who you want to be versus what you're actually capable of being and more. Stay tuned!
What is pain? Is it bad or good? In this episode, we debunk everything about pain and talk about what kind of pain is good or pointless. We talk about how school is nuanced, action makes pain worth it, and the pain you experience when taking certain advice. Just remember, life is a never ending hill you will keep climbing so don't let a bit of pain stop you :)
Yo PEEPS, as Andrew says. Today we've got an episode with a bit less rambling as we usually do and more directed talk about social pressure. We talk about how YOU can overcome your social pressure when talking to others and in general. Like we always say, at the end, it always comes down to the action you take.
It's the episode you all have been waiting for. We think you will all find a lot of value in it. We talk about why a meaningful morning routine starts with being calm and not checking your phone first thing in the morning. We also talk about various caveats and what you can do to avoid them. In addition, we mention the various benefits for creating a meaningful morning routine like more efficient studying.
Yo guys. This episode, we tried a different intro where we share with you our thought process in regards to coming up with the episode. Hope you like it! Anyway, for today's episode, the main topic we delved into was how does one determine how important a problem is in their life? We go on a few tangents about biases and relationships that serve to present the thought process of how someone actually determines the magnitude of a problem. Then we cycle back to talking about how we can use this to our advantage and the principles we should follow in life.
Today, we have a short episode for y'all. With all the recent #metoo accusations going on, Andrew and Kevin decided to have a chat about it. They present their take on current issues and how it's always better to be critical about certain things. They also talk about the psychology behind why these things happen in the first place
Yo what is up guys. Today's episode is definitely super interesting, especially for guys :^). We talk about what kind of alpha qualities are necessary to pull girls, from our own experience. We also touch on many points we've hit in past episodes about mindset and the confidence shift. We hope you guys enjoy.

In this episode, Andrew and Kevin touch base on a topic they've mentioned in a lot of episodes before, getting through tough times. They go in depth about what it takes to navigate difficulties and the change involved. The first step is to realize that you are going to get through whatever difficulty you're in, the mental shift. The next step is to take action on solving your difficulty, whatever it may be, the action shift. Listen till the end for some humor ;)

Creativity is stealing. What a phrase from the guest of our 30th episode, Ava Wettrick, who is actually our SECOND female guest.
Beside the bout of small talk in the beginning, the rest of the episode is filled with tons of valuable information that Ava herself uses in her daily life to maximize her efficiency and stay motivated. We also talk about consuming too much information and how that can be bad. You should be taking action on the things you read.

In this episode, we share our tips and tricks when it comes to networking with others. By no means are experts at this but we have failed countless times and have a rough idea of what works and what doesn't. Ultimately, it comes down to being genuine with others and taking that action. The more people you talk to, the better you get at networking and the more doors that open.

Hope everyone is doing well in quarantine right now. In this episode, we directly relate to our own experience in quarantine and how this time of solitude can be beneficial to us. It's the perfect time for everyone to flex their creative muscles and experiment with new things - you could make a dish you've never made or play a new video game. We also talk about how to negotiate with our intentions because a lot of us can grow despondent in times like these. At the end of the day, it comes down to setting the right intentions and reaping the benefits.
What up peeps. Today we walk about excuses and how they prevent us from achieving the things we ultimately desire. More people need to stop making excuses. More people need to face reality and the failure involved. Telling yourself it's hard isn't helping you, so stop telling yourself it's hard and start telling yourself it's soft. ;)
In this episode, Andrew and Kevin discuss the phrase, "the odds aren't in your favor," and talk about why the odds don't matter. The odds are just odds, but they don't define your success. Listen on all major podcasting platforms.

In this episode, we talk about whether or not you should take the advice of others. Personally, we think that it's a mix of both. We are all different ,so advice for one person may not work for you. You need to add your own touches to lessons learned by others because nobody will ever truly know you. And really, when it comes to taking advice from others, they are just telling you advice that they would take, but they aren't you. Never take advice from someone you would never want to trade places with.

In this episode, we discuss why there isn't such thing as good or bad motivation. We genuinely think that any motivation that gets you to take action is what should be sought after. Often times, people can fall into the motivation trap, where all they do is consume motivation without doing anything after. This is why action is important because action helps convert external motivation into internal motivation, making it easier for you to do desired tasks.
