Summary

In this episode, I’m talking about the most common copes of mediocre people. I got the idea from a viral post showing a flashy Black rapper and a plain-dressed white entertainer sitting front row at a game. The post—and the reaction to it—revealed how folks justify mediocrity and avoid facing hard truths. Hopefully, none of these apply to you… but if they do, it’s time to ask why. Let’s break it down. Show Notes:  [01:44]#1 “Wealthy people don't display their wealth” cope. [09:06]#2 Physical- appearance cope. [17:50]#3 All people who have money are either dishonest, scamming, or you're doing some sort of grift.  [22:02]Recap Power Presence Protocol 🦁🔥 [Starts August 19 LIVE!!] 👉 http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com/Power  🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

So the coping man referring to this moment as a whore or a gold digger simply because she has the option of choosing amongst men who have more resources than most other men is to cope of a man who didn't qualify. That's all it is. Because see, if you're a man who qualifies, you don't call the girl a gold digger. You're like, I'm glad she's digging for gold because I got gold. Day all day. Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game. This is Drey Baldwin, and Work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance. Today's topic is the most common copes of the mediocre. Now, hopefully everything I'm talking about here today does not personally apply to you.

But if it does personally apply, if the fucking shoe fits, you should ask yourself why.

social media that was going viral and it was showing two celebrities sitting front row at a

sporting event. Now, one of them was a black guy who was a rapper and he was wearing a lot of jewelry

1:09.1

and what looked like to be designer clothing, this black rapper. The other guy is a white guy who's a rapper, and he was wearing a lot of jewelry and what looked like to be designer clothing, this black rapper. The other guy is a white guy who's an entertainer, and I don't even know who this guy is. I think I've seen him somewhere before. I don't know his name. He's a white guy entertainer. He was wearing very plain clothing. None of it appeared to be designer. He had no jewelry on at all. In other words, he was dressed kind of what most people would call Bummy, even though they're both sitting in the front row at a sporting event. They were not with each other. They were just at the same game. And the caps into the photo was the first of the common copes that I'm going to explain here in today's masterclass. So let's just get right into it without any further ado.

2:18.8

record, this is not true. Let me tell you why. Have you ever spent any time in places where money

2:24.0

is a requirement of existing? Any of you who has not, let me help you up. Places like you go to a

2:31.8

place where people need money just to breathe you got to have some money

2:36.0
