S3. Ep.81 - Thought of the Day: Name Your Price

#InMyMind: Name your price, but also understand your costs! Don’t spend any time trying to prove your value or worth to anyone. Prove it to yourself! Simply put, you set the price and let them decide if they are willing to pay it. Ain’t no negotiation bih! #Message

S3. Ep.79 - Thought of the Day: Change Your Expectations to Acceptance

#InMyMind: Do you want to know the quickest way to restore peace, balance and harmony in your life? Change your expectations! Here’s what I mean. Change your expectations to acceptance. Stop expecting people to be what they are not and just accept them for who they are. Stop expecting things to be what you want them to be and just accept it for what it is. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

#InMyMind:
“The same mind and body that you’re in now and experiencing the pain you’re feeling now is the same mind and body that serves as the vehicle that can and will drive you to great joy.” Winning has to be joy, not relief. And in order to enjoy winning you have to enjoy the game. #MESSAGE

S3. Ep.77 - Note To Self: When I Became A Man...

#InMyMind: “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” - 1 Corinthians 13:11
As boys, we reason as young men, but at what point do we decide to put away toys, games, distractions, etc., to become men? And how do we do that? Today is a special day that required a special message. Today is my oldest brother's birthday. Being able to watch this human being develop into the man he is today has been so instrumental and inspirational to me. I am so glad, blessed, and honored that he is in life not only as my big brother but also as my friend. Happy birthday, bro!

S3. Ep.76 - We Are What We Repeatedly Do

#InMyMind: When you really think about it, outside of being a kid, you determine your own reality. So you can sit back and blame, point, and pin all your faults on others but at the end of it all, nothing will change until you do. The responsibility lays with you. Your own habits determine your reality more than any other human being can impact your life, so if we are what we repeatedly do, what are you gonna do to change it?

S3. Ep.75 - Don't Be Your Best, Beat Your Best!

#InMyMind: You are your own competition in a contest of one. No one else is running your race but you, so as Ric Flair said, "to be the man, you have to beat the man." So you have to ask yourself are you ready to compete against your former self, and lose the parts of you that are so familiar, so that the future you can live and thrive? Think about it...

S3. Ep.74 - To Thine Own Self Be Aware, Acceptant, Aligned and Accountable

#InMyMind: It is too easy to blame others for what is going on in our own lives, but they don't control you, you control you. With that said, and as soon as you take control of your own life by being aware, accepting, aligned, and accountable for what is, you can prepare for what's next. To thine own self, always be true. Thank you!

S3. Ep.73 - All We Have Is T.I.M.E.

S3. Ep.73 - All We Have Is T.I.M.E.

#InMyMind: When I think about time, I usually associate that with what I gotta do. Meaning I quickly start to think about what I have to do, meaning my responsibilities, but what if I change that? What if I thought about what I get to do versus what I got to do. And how I break that all down is segmenting how I think about my temperament, intelligence, mindset/mentality, and energy i.e., my T.I.M.E. 

What will you do with your T.I.M.E.?

S3. Ep.72 - Forty-five…nall Forty-fine: A Life Lived on Purpose is a Life Worth Living

#InMyMind: Happy birthday to me! The BIG 45!!! Nall scratch that The BIG FORTY-FINE!!! Age ain’t nothing but a number, right?! A number that signifies how many revolutions you’ve been able to make since your entrance into this world. Oscar Wilde said, “With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.” Man that is so true. To me, the sum of a person’s life is the total sum of expansion we observe through our lived experiences. And being aware of this is critical. Once you are aware of this paradox you have to own your experience. And to own your experience means you have to do things on purpose and with purpose. To do this, I gave my life an equation. My life’s purpose equation are my (intentions x actions x opportunities) = results which determines my reality. Because a life lived with intention met by actions prepares you for your opportunities, thus leading to results. Now that’s a life lived on purpose, nall that’s a life lived through purpose! #Message

#InMyMind: Life’s a b***h! However, the beautiful thing about life is it’s like those tests from high school. Do y’all remember, those fill-in-the-blank tests, right?! It’s the same with life, it’s fill in the blank, so it can either be a bitch or a beach, but the good thing about it is you get to choose. So choose your own adventure, and choose wisely, but you must choose! And thank you to those that decided to press play to listen to In My Mind: Everybody Knows Chris. Enjoy! #Message

S3. Ep.70 - Note To Self: Ain't Nobody Hatin' on You

#NoteToSelf: Ain't nobody hatin' on me and let's be honest, ain't nobody hatin' on you either. Now, that is not to say that you don't have people that don't rock with you. And you may also have people that offer criticism and feedback, but that ain't the same as hate. Hate is something much more insidious and stronger than critical feedback. In fact, critical feedback, if used properly, can be something that sharpens your blade and makes your product, performance, or whatever it is you are putting out there that much better. Just look at MJ, Michael Jordan, legend has it that he got cut from making the varsity basketball team, and well...the rest is history. He didn't let that make him bitter, it made him better. Well, he is still a lil' bitter...lol! Anyway, go ahead and press play to this episode of #InMyMindEverbodyKnowsChris and like always, you'll be glad you did. #Enjoy #Message

#InMyMind: Do we all remember making it a "Blockbuster Night"?

Do you also remember opening that box and reading these words, "Be Kind, Please Rewind!" Listen, that is my message for you today, no not remembering to rewind, but remembering to be kind to yourself and reminding yourself that you are special and important and have a purpose for being here today!

S3. Ep.68 - Note To Self: What's Your Purpose?!

#InMyMind: And in my opinion, you can't find your life's purpose if you are not aligned to your life's passions. What I mean by this is your purpose in life is usually directly fueled by your passions. You know the things that make you, you! You know those things that you like doing no matter the cost, expense, etc. Who would you be if failure wasn't an option or money wasn't an issue? If you can answer that, I am sure your life's passions and purpose are not too far behind. Thank you for tuning into "In My Mind: Everybody Knows Chris" enjoy!

S3. Ep.63 - In Real Life Observations: Because Joy Cometh In The Morning

In Real Life: The process of living, as an adult, has to be solution based. Life has to be based on solutions or you’ll never accomplish anything. The fight against racism has to be based in solutions, not emotions, not words, or grand gestures but solutions. And those solutions have to address the real-life economic issues and hardships or racism in this country and abroad. And in those solutions we have to stay committed. The commitment to those solutions will lead us to the answers to properly address our problems. For it is written though weeping may endure for a night, joy cometh in the morning! #MESSAGE

However, some of us forget that with this and other freedoms come with responsibilities. Yes, as an American citizen, you are free to speak. And no, you are not free from the responsibility that also comes with that freedom to speak. #MESSAGE

#InMyMind: The life you live and lead is all about the approach you take and the #mambamentality requires that you don’t make excuses.

S2. Ep.56 - Note To Self: The Jewels You Made are from the Dues You Paid

#InMyMind: Doing these podcasts has given me an increased audience. Most that have known me have always said that I was wise beyond my years or as the kids would say, "I was dropping jewels" and I may have been dropping jewels, but those jewels came at a cost.

The cost was my blood, sweat, tears and also having the strength and courage to face my fears. I paid my dues. You see we are like diamonds and like a diamond was once a piece of coal crushed under immense pressure to form into a precious gemstone, it too must be cut and hewn into a jewel.

So the next time the pressure is on, just relax and know that you are being formed into a precious jewel and the jewels you made are from the dues you've paid.

S2. Ep.55 - Note To Self: You Asked For It But Are You Ready For It?

#InMyMind: In life we do a lot of asking but are we ready to receive. Are we willing to give. My cousin use to have this tagline on his business card, "Win/Win or No Deal" and I absolutely loved that because it is a Universal Principle. It was all about the give and take that comes with life.

So as you go through life please remember these two important things that should proceed any ask. Ask yourself , "am I ready for it?" And, "what do I have to offer?" And if you have an answer for those two questions you already have what you've asked for.

Now click your heels three times and say, "there's no place like home...there's no place like home...there's no place like home." Listen sometimes you need to go where everybody knows your name and they are always glad you came! We need to make sure we all have a place where we can where everybody knows our name to help us remember who we are.  While I was visiting home and recharging my batteries my boy Corey "Wiseman" Curtis blessed me with a beautiful message that meant the world to me. He said, "we need to learn to grow love instead of always trying to show love." MESSAGE!  I'm glad I have a place where everybody know my name and they are always glad I came. I'm also very blessed to have friends and family to help me to remember who I am. Somewhere I can go to get a message, a hug and a good meal. I'm blessed to have a place called home.

I use to love to grab a commemorative t-shirt or something like that to wear around to show-off where I've been...ya know been there done that and I got the t-shirt!

In this podcast I just wanted to remind you "don't forget the t-shirt" but take it with you. Take the lessons that life teaches you with you. Remember if you've been there, done that, get that t-shirt and put a positive message on the shirt too! Something that will remind you that "this too shall pass".

S2. Ep.35 - Note To Self - Protect Ya Neck

S2. Ep.35 - Note To Self - Protect Ya Neck

#InMyMind - "So what's up man? Cooling man. Chilling...chilling? Yo you know I had to call, you know why right...?" Yeah I know why! You wanna know what's going on in my mind. Well in my mind everybody knows Chris!

In this episode I am discussing the simple concept of how you can and should "Protect Ya Neck" and your assets! What plans or processes do we have in place to protect our selves from life?

We get out here in this thing called life without any real plan or expectations and then we are surprised at why we don't have any return on our investments. What did we really expect?! You get out what you put in!

Once we gain something of value what are we doing to protect it? What insurance is there in place to protect our assets? How do we benefit from the hard work of getting after we get it...get it?

Think about this concept the next major move you make in your life. What are we doing to protect our legacies? What are we doing to protect our necks?

The Wu set this podcast up real proper for me! Moving on your left haaaa! You best protect ya neck...message!

S2. Ep.34 - Note To Self: On This Day - Jan 16, 2018 (Dreams😴, Decisions🤔, Nightmares👹)

#InMyMind: Que song lyrics from "These Dreams" by Heart goes a lil something like this, "These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second of the night I live another life." Man listen I love all things 80's music and I really love "These Dreams" by Heart and every now and then I look at the lyrics.

The reason why I read the lyrics because behind the melodies of these songs there is always a #message. And the message that I took from that song is this...these dreams go when we close our eyes and we go to sleep every night!

Last year on Jan 16, 2018, I made a decision to chase a dream of mine. One of my main dreams was to own, operate and run my own business. I took my career, my future, my life into my hands when I decided to leave a very toxic work environment and it was the most stressful thing that I've ever done, but it was necessary.

Something magical happen when I made that necessary decision to believe and bet on myself, instead of me chasing my dreams my dreams started chasing me! And trust me you want your dreams chasing you because if you don't decide to chase your dreams it won't be your dreams chasing you it will be your nightmares. #Message

S2. Ep.33 - Note to Self: Calling Triple A - (Accept, Allow, Align) 🚙 +📱= 🙏🏾💰👑✌🏾

S2. Ep.33 - Note to Self: Calling Triple A - (Accept, Allow, Align) 🚙 +📱= 🙏🏾💰👑✌🏾

#InMyMind: Having a AAA membership gives you a sense of security when you would set out on a road trip. How often are we using our membership throughout our daily trips in this thing called life? Like anything else you can't take advantage of the membership unless you use it.

What do I mean by Triple A (AAA)? My triple A's stand for accept, allow, and align. Using our ability to accept the fact or truth of the matter. Our openness to allow the truth to manifest the way it needs to in our lives. The last A stands for alignment which is the final touch during the process of dealing with the truth.

Once we've accepted the truth and have allowed it to manifest as needed in our lives we lastly must align with it. We must conduct ourselves according to what it, the truth, is and move forward.

So when we are setting out on our trips, to our appointed destinations, with our estimated time of arrival (ETA's) let's all make sure that we have access to our AAA membership and that we use it, or we may end up losing it. #Message

S2. Ep.32 - Morning Commute/Commune: Dedicated to the Unsung Heroes

#InMyMind: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, which is why we call it the present.” - Bill Keane 


Today was tough! There are many people that lay within the periphery of our lives. We know them, we see them, we are acquainted. We may party together,  we may work together, we may see them at the gym, but they are there. Although, they may not be a key factor or a major part of our lives, they are there and need to be acknowledged and honored. 


I recently lost an acquaintance and the news of his passing brought me to a stand still. I also remember losing another good friend while at work one day. Their demise is a stark reminder that life is not promised.  We worked together years ago, but they left an impression on my life and their presence will be missed.  


They, like many others, are in the corners of our minds and in the background of our lives, but they have just as an important part to play in our stories as the main players. They are the Unsung Heroes and deserved to be honored.  


This message is dedicated to the memories of my family and friends, my Unsung Heroes, R.I.P. to Brian Flanigan, Victor Ofokansi, Derek Williams and Marc Pierre, y’all are with me. Love y'all!

S2. Ep.31 - Note To Self: Happy New Year! 🎆 Happy New You! 🥳

S2. Ep.31 - Note To Self: Happy New Year! 🎆 Happy New You! 🥳

#InMyMind: How can you have a happy new year, but not be a happy new you? If you want to start the year off right you have to start the year off with a new you! You’re the author and finisher of your story.

If you’re going to write your own story you might as well write yourself in as the winner and the hero of that story. With that said, I wanted to take a message from one of my favorite heroes, Bruce Lee, and Lee said, “be like water”. I gonna be fluid like water because I wanted my year to start with a flow.

That flow I’m talking about begins at the start of my day with investing with the most high. Then I’m going to invest in myself by take care of me first. Last but not least, I’m going to invest in others. I’m going to pour into them what I have left over after giving to God and myself, in that order.

Start your year off right and start your year off with me. I’m so glad you joined me, press play and let’s go! Enjoy! 🙏🏾💰👑🙌🏾
