Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you tell yourself lies? As an aspiring ted X speaker,
is there voice in your head telling you something that's
not true or bigger than that?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Do you assume that it is truth?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Quick disclaimer, I'm about to go all the way there
for this episode, Like I go hard when it comes
to my creative life, my professional life, my personal life
as a father, son, husband, Like I want to give
one hundred and ten percent all of the time.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And sometimes people take it the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So I don't mean any harm to you, like in this,
I just want to help you get to where it
is you want to go.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I've met so many people on this journey.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So since starting this podcasts how Tox, we've met WITHX speakers,
but also we've met with speaking coaches and aspiring speakers.
And one thing that keeps coming up is that folks
have this negative self talk happening in the back of
their head, and oftentimes it moves to the front, and
(01:23):
also it sometimes takes over control of the person's energy
and the direction of their life. And I want to
talk about it. I want to unpack it a little bit.
So one of the lies that I'm hearing the most,
one of the lies that people consistently talk about, whether
I'm in Facebook groups where I see it a lot,
(01:45):
or when people sign up for our newsletter where we
share our WEEKLYX applications. Right, so every week visit Robinnathaniel
dot com and you can get access to AX application.
No matter where it is, the same thing keeps coming up.
People are lying to themselves about the borders that surround
(02:10):
them in terms of their quest to land.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
On a tedec stage.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Huh borders. So imagine this. Somebody gave you a deed
to some land. They were like, this is your land.
This twenty five acres is all you. My God, like,
just roam freely. This is your world. Do what you
want to do in these twenty five acres. So imagine this.
(02:37):
You knew where the borders of the actual land was,
but you restricted yourself to one section. People in your
life were like, Hey, you got twenty five acres, let's
go out and explore a little bit. Nah, I'm gonna
just stay right here, where the house is, where the
fireplace is. I'm gonna stay warm, and I'm going to
(02:58):
stay comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Right that comfort piece.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you're by the fire and now people may be
in your circle who you brought to this land, are
now exploring and finding so many amazing opportunities and so
many amazing resources. They bring it back to you and
show you like, hey, look you want to come, Like, nah,
I'm gonna just stay by the fire and keep my
(03:25):
hands warm. And that's what I'm seeing with speakers who
are receiving these Techex applications and then putting borders around
their message. Right, So instead of applying for AX event
that is being hosted in London, UK, you're waiting for
(03:51):
the right application, an application that's maybe close to where
you live, maybe in the region that you live, maybe
in the town that you live, maybe at the university
that you went to. So you're creating these imaginary borders
and essentially you're restricting yourself to the opportunities. You're trying
(04:14):
to keep your hands warm in front of this fireplace
of comfort, and you're not allowing yourself to reach the
people that you need to reach with your message. So
my suggestion and recommendation for you when it comes to
(04:35):
these borders that you're creating yourself for yourself is like
the break through the wall when you get your next
ted X application, even if it's for the practice right,
like getting the reps in of creating your pitch, saving
that document, making it better for the next pitch, carving
(04:57):
it out to match with the theme of the then.
But you can't sit there in front of this fireplace,
warming your hands, complaining about how all your friends keep
walking the twenty five acres and coming back with ted
XX acceptance letters. You got to go out there and
(05:19):
get it. The next thing I want to talk about
in terms of these lies that aspiring TEDx speakers are
telling themselves, is you need to pay attention to the
labels that people put.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
On you, because they will.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Let's say you've been a musician for a large part
of your life. You've been a musician, a rapper, producer, drummer.
That's all people know you as. It's aligned and connected,
ingrained in your identity. It's who you are, who you've been.
But you want to be more. You don't just want
(05:58):
to be a musician. You also want to be a speaker.
You also want to be a nonprofit leader. You also
want to be a philanthropist. You also want to be
a coach of a basketball team. Like whatever it is
that your next phase of life has for you, then
(06:19):
you have to make sure that people are not casting
labels on you that will prevent you from getting the
opportunities that would lead to you walking into the next
stage of your life. So, if in fact, people are
saying that you are something that you don't aspire to
(06:40):
be anymore, it's okay to point it out to them,
and more importantly, it's okay for you to walk in
the new version of yourself. Consistency is one of the
big topics when people start thinking about, well, what do
I need to do to actually blow up on social
(07:01):
media or get the or land the speaking gigs, get
paid gigs.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You got to be consistent. You got to be.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Consistent and listen, y'all. It's like it irritates me a
little bit. It really does, because I think that consistency
cannot be measured based on what others are doing.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right, people that you watch online might have entire.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Teams that feed into them being able to be that consistent,
whether it's showing up online, whether it's showing up with
their email list, sending weekly messages or daily messages, even
being consistent with how many TEDx applications they're putting in.
Some people have teams some people hire coaches or use services.
(07:48):
You're one person by yourself, no team. Right now, if
I'm talking to you, then let this sync in the
level of consistency that you have based on your bandwidth.
(08:08):
I like to call it practical consistency. Practical consistency, so
you're not trying to like, yo, I'm gonna drop one,
you know, one episode a day or a week, and
I'm gonna do one short form video every day, you know,
knowing that you don't have the.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Bandwidth for that. I got a whole career, y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Like I got a job, a jobby job, and it
requires a lot of my bandwidth.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And my job is my.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Number one priority when it comes to the activities that
I do to create revenue, because it brings the most
revenue into my family. It's the hugest, it's the largest
investor into what I'm doing in life, taking care of
my family, being able to create content like this.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So when I.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Go into any creative projects that I'm working on and
stuff like that, I have to make sure that I
prioritize the priority, right, which is.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
My main gig, my career. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Luckily, I get to work in a field that I love.
I get to do social media every day, which is
like essentially me getting to play in the sand every
day for our living. But it doesn't, you know, negate
the fact that I have other dreams and I have
other aspirations and more importantly, I love to create. But
(09:33):
I only have so much time in a day. I
only have so much bandwidth. You only have so much time,
You only have so much bandwidth.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
What you do is you conduct a time audit, take
time to get go to a coffee shop and just
block out weekly what it is that you see yourself doing.
What are the trends? Do you spend eight hours on
work at work? Do you have your own business, and
maybe maybe you only work four hours a week on
a day on your business. Talk about what time you
(10:03):
spend with your family, talk about what time you do
for exercise, church, your commute and include it all minute
by minute. How many hours of sleep are you averaging,
et cetera. And then based on that, how much time
can you allot to this dream of becoming a techex speaker.
How much time a week can you reserve for that?
(10:26):
And once you know, okay, this is my schedule is
this many hours in a week. This how much I sleep?
This how much I work, This is my commute. This
so much time I spend with my family. This so
much time I go to church. And this is how
much time I have left over to pursue my dream
of being.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
A tex creator. Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So if it's two hours cool, if it's three hours cool,
if it's four hours, six hours, whatever it is, then
what you want to do, and this is the ninja
trick listen up close. Then you map out in detail
what you will do with that time, like down to
(11:11):
the most intricate detail, what you're gonna do with that time.
That's called practical consistency. So you're being practical about Hey,
this is how much time I have in my life.
This is how much time I have for this thing,
and this is how I'm gonna utilize that time for me.
(11:31):
My family has been so so understanding to the fact
that Daddy and Hubby has this thing that he loves
to do. It generates some money, but not enough to
really justify the time away. But they know that it's
something that I love and believe in, So I have
time allotted weekly to work on this. Typically it's Sunday night.
(11:52):
Sunday night is my creator night. So what do I do.
I go in, I write all of my email copy
for the week. I go ahead and record my podcast episodes,
my NBA podcast episode, my Red Circle Talk How to
Tech X episode. I'll create the shorts, put them into
a content calendar and a social media management software, schedule
(12:16):
the post out for the week. Now, when I start
my week, I go into my week. I don't have
to worry about anything. I'm not going to my phone like,
oh my god, I got to do a social media post.
Oh I have to write this email. I'm not panicking.
I'm not doing any of that because I'm practicing a
proven system that allows me to create on a consistent basis,
(12:37):
and that is called practical consistency.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I can go deeper on that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
If you guys want me to go deeper on practical
consistency and what I do and give you, like the
day to day, what systems I'm using, what platforms I'm
using to get the content out but also to stay consistent.
Please let me know and I'll create an episode all
about that, because I want to get you on to
the Techex stage by any meaning necessary. I dropped my book.
Give me one second. I dropped this book.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Kind of pick it up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
This is going to blow your mind. Data from the
US government's National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System found
that over three million child abuse cases.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Are reported every year. Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's why we are supporting Mosaic Georgia. Mosaic Georgia provides
support to children, youth, and adult victims of sexualized violence
in all forms. They provide free, confidential support and services
to victims, families and survivors of sexual abuse and assault, legal, medical,
(13:46):
and counseling. They provide it all under one roof. But
they can't do it without support from people like you.
Visit bitly slash donate to Mosaic today and make a donation.
Your generosity can save a child's life. That's bitly slash
(14:07):
donate to Mosaic. Bit dot ly forward slash donate to Mosaic.
People are lying to themselves, and this is connected to consistency,
but this is its own topic and I can do
a whole episode about this as well. But they're lying
(14:29):
to themselves about having the capability or the technical.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Skills needed to do the thing. So people are like,
you gotta get on social media. You got to start
an Instagram account, you need a TikTok.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Right, I don't know how to do that, Right, I'm
in my forties. What are you talking about, Robin? How
am I supposed to do that? I'll tell you how.
I'll tell you how. Let go of a lie. First
of all, that's not true. You can do it. All
you have to do is leverage this age of automation,
just like I talked about with my social media management
(15:05):
software that I used. It puts the post out for me.
And there's some people in the social media marketing space
that might say using social media management software can impact
your account. For me, that's a risk that I have
to take. Most social media platforms like that. Social media
management platforms like that have huge disclaimers that it will
(15:26):
not They have API contracts and deals and systems that
work through these social media platforms, so none of that
really is supposed to happen. However, I've seen on some
platforms that it takes Your content might take a hit.
Some platforms it doesn't perform as well. But then I
have other platforms, for example TikTok, where I'm distributing I
(15:49):
want to say, you know, I want to say seven
short form videos a week for my basketball channel, and
all of those videos do well. They perform exceptionally well,
over five thousand views, some even past ten thousand views consistently.
So the point that I'm making to you is leveraging
(16:09):
automation can be the way that you can skip the
step of having to actually learn the thing. Instead of
having to learn everything, you can pay for a software
that will actually automate the process for you and make
it that much easier. I'll end with this, It's really
important that we take time to address those voices in
(16:33):
our head. You don't want to go through life with
these negative messages that you're feeding yourself to seep into
your reality. You got to nip this in the bud today,
especially if you want to become a tedex speaker. It's
something that you really have to do. You got to
let the oll you go and walk in to the new.
(16:55):
I want to talk more about it. So if you

time allotted weekly to work on this. Typically it's Sunday night.
(11:52):
Sunday night is my creator night. So what do I do.
I go in, I write all of my email copy
for the week. I go ahead and record my podcast episodes,
my NBA podcast episode, my Red Circle Talk How to
Tech X episode. I'll create the shorts, put them into
a content calendar and a social media management software, schedule
(12:16):
the post out for the week. Now, when I start
my week, I go into my week. I don't have
to worry about anything. I'm not going to my phone like,
oh my god, I got to do a social media post.
Oh I have to write this email. I'm not panicking.
I'm not doing any of that because I'm practicing a
proven system that allows me to create on a consistent basis,
(12:37):
and that is called practical consistency.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I can go deeper on that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
If you guys want me to go deeper on practical
consistency and what I do and give you, like the
day to day, what systems I'm using, what platforms I'm
using to get the content out but also to stay consistent.
Please let me know and I'll create an episode all
about that, because I want to get you on to
the Techex stage by any meaning necessary. I dropped my book.
Give me one second. I dropped this book.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Kind of pick it up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
This is going to blow your mind. Data from the
US government's National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System found
that over three million child abuse cases.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Are reported every year. Let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's why we are supporting Mosaic Georgia. Mosaic Georgia provides
support to children, youth, and adult victims of sexualized violence
in all forms. They provide free, confidential support and services
to victims, families and survivors of sexual abuse and assault, legal, medical,
(13:46):
and counseling. They provide it all under one roof. But
they can't do it without support from people like you.
Visit bitly slash donate to Mosaic today and make a donation.
Your generosity can save a child's life. That's bitly slash
(14:07):
donate to Mosaic. Bit dot ly forward slash donate to Mosaic.
People are lying to themselves, and this is connected to consistency,
but this is its own topic and I can do
a whole episode about this as well. But they're lying
(14:29):
to themselves about having the capability or the technical.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Skills needed to do the thing. So people are like,
you gotta get on social media. You got to start
an Instagram account, you need a TikTok.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Right, I don't know how to do that, Right, I'm
in my forties. What are you talking about, Robin? How
am I supposed to do that? I'll tell you how.
I'll tell you how. Let go of a lie. First
of all, that's not true. You can do it. All
you have to do is leverage this age of automation,
just like I talked about with my social media management
(15:05):
software that I used. It puts the post out for me.
And there's some people in the social media marketing space
that might say using social media management software can impact
your account. For me, that's a risk that I have
to take. Most social media platforms like that. Social media
management platforms like that have huge disclaimers that it will
(15:26):
not They have API contracts and deals and systems that
work through these social media platforms, so none of that
really is supposed to happen. However, I've seen on some
platforms that it takes Your content might take a hit.
Some platforms it doesn't perform as well. But then I
have other platforms, for example TikTok, where I'm distributing I
(15:49):
want to say, you know, I want to say seven
short form videos a week for my basketball channel, and
all of those videos do well. They perform exceptionally well,
over five thousand views, some even past ten thousand views consistently.
So the point that I'm making to you is leveraging
(16:09):
automation can be the way that you can skip the
step of having to actually learn the thing. Instead of
having to learn everything, you can pay for a software
that will actually automate the process for you and make
it that much easier. I'll end with this, It's really
important that we take time to address those voices in
(16:33):
our head. You don't want to go through life with
these negative messages that you're feeding yourself to seep into
your reality. You got to nip this in the bud today,
especially if you want to become a tedex speaker. It's
something that you really have to do. You got to
let the oll you go and walk in to the new.
