In this episode the hosts breakdown ZBA's favourite book of all time: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene. Greene is regarded as a modern day machiavelli by many business strategists, athletes & celebrities across the world. He has written best seller books such as the 48 Laws of Power, 33 Strategies of War, Mastery, the 50th Law with 50 Cent (close 2nd favourite) & The Daily Laws. He is now working on his upcoming book called "The Sublime", deconstructing the unexplainable phenoma of subjects that make us feel small in our existence. (Space, Death, Time, Consciousness) .
The hosts also discuss 50 Cent & Courtney Kemp's hit TV Show: Power:
50 Cent(Curtis Jackson) created his TV empire through calculated risk & delaying gratifcation for long term rewards (Earning $17,000 per episode in Season 1 to rising up the ranks as a producer/director of the show). Eventually being able to use his social intelligence to leverage existing business relationships & cultivate new ones. This allowed Courtney & the rest of the executives of the show to give him more ownership; moving from an actor in the show to a key player. With time, he was recognised for the "NAACP Outstanding Director Image Award in a Drama Series".
Curtis Jackson cited in past interveiws that if he wanted to make more money he could have easily just continued club appearances as a rapper and earn 6 figures for waving his hand to his fans. But he took a bet on himself to navigate into the unknown. Taking time to learn the rules, regulations & principles of the directing game. 50 Cent also runs hit shows such as "For Life" hosted by ABC.
The hosts discuss how The Power Universe (Power Book II-V ) is going to shake the entertainment space for years to come. The exclusivity & benefits of the STARZ platform only streaming the show on its platform vs other online subscription platforms. (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix)
The conclusion of Season 2 of Power Book II, what it means for fans of the show (NO SPOILERS) The conclusion leading to the beginning of Season 1 of Power Book IV starring your fav's fav, Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan in a spinoff set in Chicago. #PowerNeverEnds

Joined by my brother Kev Malomo to deconstruct mindset, confidence & habits. Mindset is everything. Confidence is magnetic and will draw others to you. Habits build you up or tear you down in adherence to the Law of Compound Interest. In the end, it all starts with your mindset. Mould it into the undeterred Warrior who imposes his will on reality.

This episode is titled "You Are What You Eat x How Do You See Yourself. "
The mirror never lies. It tells the raw truth, staring back at us. Out of shape, lack of fulfillment and self respect? Normal, we are all works in progress. You can't BS yourself with the mirror. It tells you how it is. There's always another level to ascend, when you get there, "there" is no longer there. When you go back to the comfort of solitude, the mirror gives you the facts. The only competition is yourself. The self actualization of your potential. It's easy to feel behind in the digital age. Where everybody is winning, going on holidays and portraying perfection. The mirror conveys the pure unfiltered truth that is not distorted by filters of social media. This is where character is revealed. When nobody is watching and the cameras are nowhere in sight.
