RIP Jerry

“It was late at night. I had just gotten off of work making airplane parts near LAX. I went to a nearby bus stop and I don’t remember what happened after that. I woke up in a hospital bed with half my face gone. I didn’t know what to think because I had no idea what had happened.

I didn’t become an angry person after I found out that I’d been shot. There wasn’t anything that I could do. I had accepted what happened and I’ve been on these streets ever since. It can be tough out here, but I’m still getting around. I try not to hang out here on Skid Row much because of all the crime and drugs. People try to steal from me, so I come to do my business and leave.

I don’t have anger in me. What good would that do me? What’s done is done. I can’t control any of that, so I try to focus on the things that I can control. I’m just grateful to be alive. I’m gonna keep going.”

Johnny Cash Shaking Hands with Glen Sherley, Folsom Prison, 1968

Johnny Cash shakes hands with Glen Sherley, the inmate who wrote and recorded the song “Greystone Chapel” that Cash performed during his famous Folsom Prison concert. The previous evening a copy of Sherley’s recording made its way into the hands of the country legend by way of a Folsom minister. As soon as Johnny Cash heard it he stayed up all night, learning the song. 

The night before I was going to record at Folsom prison, I got to the motel and a preacher friend of mine brought me a tape of a song called “Greystone Chapel.” He said a convict had written it about the chapel at Folsom. I listened to it one time and I said, “I’ve got to do this in the show tomorrow.” So I stayed up and learned it, and the next day the preacher had him in the front row. I announced, “This song was written by Glen Sherley.” It was a terrible, terrible thing to point him out among all those cons, but I didn’t think about that then. Everybody just had a fit, screaming and carrying on.

The Daily Man-Up: Mental Strength Training

(photo: @jakobowens1)

I used to be a mental wimp…

No, seriously. About 10 years ago, I was a total mental weakling. I couldn’t go for long without AC, my work ethic was equivalent to that of a 60’s stoner, and the thought of a cold shower just about made me pass out.

Ok, I might be exaggerating a little bit, but I can PROMISE you I wasn’t mentally tough.

Today, I train with heavy weights 4x a week, have taken cold showers (almost) every day for more than half a decade, worked countless 16 hour days to build my 7-figure business, and have generally become way tougher mentally and physically.

If I can do it, anyone can.

Here’s how I boosted my mental strength and how you can to.

What Do Chefs Do Aside From Cooking?

what do chefs do besides cooking

(photo: @redcharlie)

Let me eliminate all the cooking (of which I, and most chefs, do very little) and all the things concerning direct supervision of cooking.

In the morning I do a stock muster and make sure we have everything we need to make it through the day. I read my team’s notes and the front of the house notes and try to understand what I need to order to have it here in a timeframe that allows me to never run out and nothing to come too early and spoil.

Eduard Bloch

Eduard Bloch, Hitler’s childhood doctor, and a Jew. When Hitler’s mother couldn’t afford cancer treatment, Bloch reduced his prices. Teenage Adolf declared undying gratitude, and when Austria was annexed, Hitler kept his word and granted the doctor special protection by the Gestapo

Even after the two had parted ways after Klara’s death, Adolf continued to keep in touch with Bloch by sending him postcards. Some of those were even personally hand-painted by Adolf himself.

The Daily Man-Up

self belief

(photo: @joshuaearle)

You can spend your whole life listening to other people tell you that it’s not possible or that you will never pull it off or you can listen to yourself, believe in yourself and back yourself!

It doesn’t matter what other people say or think it only matters what you think and what you believe is possible for you!

Whatever your vision, goal or dream is you have to know with absolute faith and conviction that you will get there and you will make it happen and that starts with believing in yourself and knowing exactly what you want!

You become unstoppable when your purpose becomes clear within your own mind and when you believe with everything you have that it’s possible and when you finally stand up and declare that you will not stop until you get exactly what you want!

Be relentless and so determined that no one or nothing can deny you or separate you from what you truly believe in!
