The Secret To Success with CJ, Karl, Jemal & Eric Thomas

In this Tuesday Power-Up, ET talks about choosing to take control of your life and staying ahead of your competition. 

We’ve seen some of the best dynamic duos create history in their fields and ultimately break up. The most recent break up is with ESPN’s Mike & Mike who have worked together for 18 years and are now calling it quits. This caused CJ to think about the possibility of the squad breaking up. Could it happen ? CJ challenges the guys and ask them have they ever thought of the squad possibly breaking up.The guys all explain how they safeguard those thoughts and keep their ego in check so that it doesn’t happen. ET makes a very important point that in order to keep things like this from happening he makes sure that the guys understand and know how much he appreciates them. CJ talks about his real reason for not having his own social media pages as it could possibly cause a distraction to what his role is. No one wants to see great duos or trios that make history break up but it’s a strong possibility in the world we live in today. You'll learn in this episode that as long as everyone stays in their lane it's hard for that to happen.

The guys are back this week and they kick off today’s episode with a weekend recap. Baby Avery turned one, the guys in Lansing did more demolition on the ETA compound, and Josh’s son Hudson won the state championship in golf. CJ starts off the conversation by asking the guys a question that he was asked by a listener. What do you do while you’re waiting to blow up ? You’re applying the principles you’re learning, you’re studying your craft, but things just aren’t moving as fast as you want them to. So what do you do ? ET explains that at one point in time he actually stopped speaking and found other ways to serve and add to his craft. When he stepped away is when he, CJ, & Karl started working together at MSU. Karl discovers that even back then the squad was doing the same thing that they are doing now. The key principle in this episode is to stay in go mode and master your craft. Even while waiting to blow up you should be working on your craft. ET says that for many aspiring speakers, they only speak when they speak. This statement can be used for more than speakers. No matter what level you’re on in your journey make sure that you are always working on your craft.  Time Stamped Show Notes: [09:30] - Avery turns 1 years old [13:00] - Father’s Day Weekend [21:00] - ET stepped away from speaking [33:00] - Karl steps into unfamiliar territory [41:55] - CJ finds the gaps [52:40] - Fair or Foul [1:07:15] - Ask ET [1:30:12] - The Nugget of the Day  Thank you so much for listening to this episode of the Secret 2 Success podcast.
