Summary

In this episode, I’m breaking down how extremity becomes identity. When you live at the very edge of your craft, you stand apart from the dabblers who only do it halfway. I share how, back in my basketball days, players admired Kobe Bryant’s extreme work ethic even though most couldn’t match it. To make something part of your identity, you don’t have to be the only one doing it, you just have to take it further than anyone else. I’ll explain how to push to that level so your extreme becomes who you are. Show Notes: [03:07]#1 Things you do at the extreme are how people come to define you. [10:47]#2 Repetition at the edges forces recognition. [17:54]#3 Extremity creates separation.

0:00.0	People who do things in moderation are average and forgotten, just so all of you know.
0:04.3	That's the trade-offs.
0:05.2	And the world does not remember moderation.
0:08.4	It remembers people who do things in extremes.

0:46.2	This is Drey Baldwin, and work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.
0:52.3	Today's topic is how extremity becomes identity. Now, the definition of
0:58.3	extremity is the furthest point or limit of something. What we're really talking about here today
1:04.2	is about being on the edge and living on the edge of the thing that you're doing or the thing that you are
1:09.4	about or the thing that you want to be
1:11.3	doing or you want to be about. And this is when you are, again, at the extreme end. So something that
1:18.9	others will know about you and maybe even partake in themselves. But because you're on that
1:25.2	extreme edge and you're on that extreme end, the dabblers do
1:29.0	not compare to you. The dabblers are actually looking up to you because one day they may
1:33.6	want to get to where you are. They haven't dove all the way into it the way that you have,
1:39.3	and that's the reason why you're in a position that you're in as compared to the position that
1:42.9	they are in. I remember back in my basketball content making days, I would get basketball players coming
