Summary

Episode Summary
In this Bars episode, Niyi Sobo breaks down a line from Pooh Hefner's track More Than Me" The words aren't just lyrics—they're a blueprint for achievement. Niyi unpacks the wisdom in these three simple phases: focus your attention, create a plan, and stay committed. If you're serious about getting what you want, this is the formula.

Key Takeaways

Success requires three phases: Focus, Plan, and Persistence.
Pay attention: Clarify your goal, cut distractions, and learn from those who already have what you want.
Make a plan: Write it down, stick with it, and hold yourself accountable.
Stay on it: Don't let fear or emotions derail your consistency.
Ask yourself the tough questions—about clarity, motivation, and commitment—to know if you're truly locked in.

0:57.7	Even think about Kobe Bryant when he went from that transition, you know, from 8 to 24, he talks about that a lot.
1:06.4	When you get in the later part of your career as an athlete, you don't have the same explosiveness.
1:13.6	You can't rely as much on the physical.
1:17.8	So then it causes you, I should say it forces you to focus on your mechanics.
1:25.1	It forces you to focus on the things that aren't reliant upon your physical
1:31.6	stamina, talent, whatever else. It forces you to focus on the fundamentals. And I feel like
1:42.3	at this stage of my life, I'm valuing the fundamentals even more.
1:45.8	It's almost as though things are becoming more simple, more plain.
1:51.3	And so I was running the other day and I'm listening to this track by my dude Poo Heff from the Bay Area.
2:02.2	Most likely, if you're not heavy in the Bay Area rap, you probably won't know who Poo Hefner is.
2:10.3	But either way, I'm going to introduce you to him.
2:14.0	And this piece of valuable advice he dropped, I just felt like I needed to share it with you all.
