Dontae Smiley is a husband and father who strives to be an example of what it looks like to be the “hardest worker in the room.” 

Once upon a time in Dontae’s life, he was once lost not genuinely being who he was, being addicted to drugs, and had a victim mindset to where he felt he was a by-product of generational curses and sub-categorized groups that he would never be able to grow from.

Then one day he was challenged to elevate his thinking and realized that God made him to be more than what he felt this earth was trying to tell him he was and more than the coats he wore.

Dontae has gone from working and hopping around the corporate gym system to owning his own training business in Prime Time Fitness!

He has gone from having many doors closed in his face in wrestling to breaking the glass ceiling and creating his own opportunities and is now signed to the independent promotion OIWA (Organized International Wrestling Association).

He is also a public speaker/podcaster and an artist with albums on all music streaming platforms!

Now steadily pushing the needle on being his most elite self, Dontae strives to motivate and inspire other individuals that he comes in contact with so they know they can too regardless of what “they” say about them, win in life!

53. Sort Your F*uckin' Life Out w/ Samuel Smith

Samuel has always been an entrepreneur, from mowing yards and delivering newspapers at age 12, to building two seven-figure companies before his mid 30’s. Poor stewardship and an unchecked addiction

to alcohol saw the meltdown and total collapse of his life and marriage, leading to rock bottom and broke when he should have been enjoying the fruits of his labor. Samuel has since been sober for over 3 and a half years, and now has two companies that he had built back into the mid-six-figure range, this time with the proper fundamentals and stewardship to ensure long-term success. In 2020 when the world shut down, he began to follow his natural desires to teach and lead other business owners and help them avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that he went through. He talks openly

and frankly about his failures in life and in business and how sobriety and focus have turned his life around helping other men realize that they are not alone and that they too can overcome their dependence on alcohol and addiction. He lives by the fact that there are no superhumans in this world,

only normal humans who decide to do super things and commit to them, one step at a time.

Since August of 2019,  he has worked with one of the top 20 Brewery in the mountain west, Epic Brewing in Denver, where he manages sales across Colorado, Southwest, Midwest, and East Coast distribution.

25. Turn Knowledge Into Action & Get Massive Results

25. Turn Knowledge Into Action & Get Massive Results

Episode Notes:

4 steps to turn knowledge into action and get results.

Knowledge without action = failure


1. Developed Discipline

  • Discipline is the commitment to do whatever it takes to get things done.
  • It's the difference between being in control of your future and letting your environment dictate your destiny.
  • It means freedom.
  • Like anything else, it’s a skill you can develop, so stop making excuses.

2. Take Imperfect Action

  • You can’t develop any new skills if you don’t practice and implement what you learn.
  • Stop putting shit off because you think conditions are not right. The right moment is now!
  • You're not afraid of failing, you’re afraid of being judged. Stop listening to other people’s opinions.
  • Life is not about perfection, it’s about progression.

3. Consistency

  • Newsflash: There’s no shortcut to get to the top, it takes handwork, day in, and day out, over a long period of time.
  • Success takes time. Consistency helps you create the skills you need to be successful.
  • To be consistent means you have to replicate a positive behavior day after day until it defines you and becomes a habit.
  • It requires patience.
  • Best way to be consistent? Stop focusing on the big goal! Take your goals and break them into practical, small daily actions, and stick to it until it becomes a new habit.

4. Accountability

  • You have to be responsible for your actions. God or bad, stop blaming others and own your shit.
  • When you hold yourself accountable, you don’t allow yourself to look for the opportunities to make excuses, you find a way to make it happen because you know it needs to happen.

2 types of accountability

    -Self-accountably

    -Accountability from others

  • Take inventory of the people around you. If you are hanging with losers you’ll become a loser. If you are hanging with winners, you’ll become a winner.

        “Birds of a feather, flock together”

  • Surround yourself with the right people.
  • Find a group (network, mentorship program, etc.) that can help you grow and hold each other accountable.
  • Be humble.
