The art of falling back ft. John Henry

My good friend John Henry joined me this week for No Pressure. Initially, I was going to hold onto this interview (we taped on Easter) for a few weeks but decided to release it early after re-listening to the timely messages and also to shine a light on the fact that both his parents were hospitalized due to COVID-19, and have since recovered. That deserves a digital round of applause. Thank God.

This episode we dived into several topics but the main topic was how to really fall back and keep your peace in the process. John was very aggressive on social media and business and recently took a moment to reflect and reevaluate his values. I challenged his bold stances and asked him if there was anything he doesn’t hold such a strong opinion on like he used too. Other topics we discussed were:

  • Building your speaking platform. Speaking helps you build authority in almost any field you wish to gain ground in. It also helps you hone your point of view and like my good friend Julian Mitchell likes to say develop your “unique perspective.”

  • The trap of comparison. Many people were trying to copy his style of content distribution but didn’t know the actual amount of manpower he had working behind the scenes. Also, you cant compare yourself as a beginner to someone who has been developing themselves for years. Go back to their starting points, and learn from there.

  • The negative side of self-promotion. John is a self-admitted creator of “Hustle Porn.” So does he regret that it may have given people the wrong impression of him? We also talk about how it’s necessary to promote yourself, but there are limits.

  • Vulnerability is the key. You want to open the doors to opportunity and building a community around your brand? Start being more vulnerable.

If you enjoyed this episode be sure to share it with your friends or anyone you feel needs to hear it. Follow me on social media (@anthonyfrasier) and cop my book “Don’t Dumb Down Your Greatness.”

Much love and Be safe!
