Summary
It's 2019... You're able to fly just about anywhere in the world for less than a pair of sneakers, your phone recognizes your face, and you can start a business in 10 minutes on the internet... Yet people still like to limit themselves and what they can do. It's disgusting, so I decided to share with you a mindset that can change all that. #UpOnGame

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Niz Showbo. This is up on game. |
| 0:06.5 | And this is where I basically introduce you to something, a new tool, a new resource, |
| 0:12.3 | restaurant, book, podcast, YouTube channel, or in this case, a mindset. All right. |
| 0:20.9 | So I want to introduce you to an alternate or alternative way of looking at the world, |
| 0:30.3 | a way of looking at your goals that will possibly produce some different results. |
| 0:36.9 | All right. |
| 0:38.9 | Now let me explain what I mean by this. |
| 0:43.3 | Ignorance can serve you well sometimes. |

| 0:51.5 | When I was at Oregon State playing football there, I was a walk-on. |
| 0:56.6 | And I had this idea that I wanted to play in the NFL. Now, when I look back on my actual skill set when I was a freshman at Oregon State, there really was no reason why I should |

| 1:26.2 | about what it took, I probably would |
| 1:28.9 | have told myself some shit like, oh, no, that's probably not realistic, but, you know, maybe I can |
| 1:34.1 | play overseas, you know, in Canada League or something. You follow it. But I didn't do that. |
| 1:43.0 | And the reason I didn't do that is because I was reckless in a good way. |
| 1:47.3 | And I say in a good way because I actually made it to the NFL. |
| 1:50.8 | So this is just one example. |
| 1:52.3 | I can give you several more. |
| 1:54.9 | Same thing with getting a scholarship from Oregon State. |
