I struggled for damn near a DECADE before anyone knew who I was.

All you see now is the result of all the years spent in the absolute trenches.

If you're not where you want to be in life.. the LAST place you should be is on social media..

Building a stronger mind.

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

you’ve just gotta go for it. whatever it is you want to do, go do it. the world opens up for people who are decisive. life is active and you can’t spend your time sitting around waiting for something to happen. you have to make the move. you have to be actively involved in the overall satisfaction of your life.

A quiet man rebuilding himself is often mistaken for a man doing nothing.
Let them misunderstand.

He knows what your favourite artists don’t tell you.

I’ve been waiting 8 years to sit down with the person who has spent his life quietly helping some of the greatest artists in the world make some of their greatest work.

That person is Rick Rubin.

Rick co-founded Def Jam at 21 and has gone on to work with people like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adele, Johnny Cash and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The reason I’ve wanted to speak to him for so long has much less to do with the names.

Rick is a master of creativity and collaboration, and I wanted to understand how he sees things.

How can someone sit in the room with that many extraordinary artists, across completely different generations and genres, and continue to be useful to them?

What surprised me most about this conversation was how little Rick talks about success.

He talks about paying attention. Listening to yourself. Being willing to make something other people might not understand.

Protecting the part of you that was creative before the world started telling you what was good, bad, sensible or successful.

We discussed things like:

- Why Kanye’s fearlessness makes him such an interesting artist.
- What he saw in Jay-Z’s process that he had never seen before.
- Why Rick believes creativity is gradually being beaten out of us.
- What does he notice that other people miss?
- Why some of the best creative decisions make very little logical sense at the time.

This was one of those conversations that went much deeper than I expected. Rick has spent decades thinking about creativity, taste, collaboration and what allows people to make their best work, and there’s a real depth to the way he understands all of it.

Towards the end I asked Rick a very simple question: “What is your job?”

His answer was, "Support people in making their beautiful things.”

After waiting 8 years to have this conversation, that answer probably explains Rick better than any list of records, awards or famous names ever could.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand how your favourite artists actually think and work, or how to protect more of your own creativity, I think you’ll take a lot from this conversation.

Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

You shouldn’t be scared of failing.

You should be terrified of spending the rest of your life wondering what would’ve happened if you’d taken the shot.

When trading clicks, you realize it's not about entries

it's about system, self control, discipline.

🚨🗣 - Michael Owen on Marcus Rashford:

"I don't understand the glum face.

"He just doesn't seem to be enjoying his football.

"He is the weak link in the attack as things stand.

"He's 28 now. He should be in his prime. He should be absolutely tearing defences down."

[Nathan Salt @NathSalt1]

Matheus Cunha: “In the second half it was like they put in more energy than us. We CANNOT accept this. We always play better after conceding a goal, and it cannot be like this." #mufc

[Al Foran @ImpressionistAL]

Marcus Rashford should not be starting games, I’m sorry, I can only assume that once Amad is fully fit, Cunha will be playing on that left side.

There’s no intensity in that attack at all, toothless.

[MonsterMac @WinnersOnlyLife]

No more Rashford on the left I beg ya

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it. Pay the cost of entry with pride. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.
