    We explore a simple mindset for hard days: treat each day as a battle and your life as the war. We share how offense, simplicity, and efficiency help you rebound from bad stretches and stack wins that compound.

    • defining daily battles and the life-long war
    • how relationships, work, and training affect each other
    • playing offense to build momentum
    • simplicity and efficiency as force multipliers
    • using long checklists without perfectionism
    • turning bad weeks into 10x rebounds
    • the daily reset and relentless accountability
    • aiming for one percent better over time

    Check me out.

  • #381: The Dichotomy of Comedy: Insults vs. Compliments
    2025/11/02

    Send us a text

    We explore why insults hit harder than compliments, how fast pacing shapes laughter, and how we test material that might bomb to find the lines that truly land. We share how we design sets for short attention spans with one-liners, stories, music, and even a little magic.

    • compliments rarely trigger laughs while insults create tension and release
    • negativity bias compared to how news grabs attention
    • moving beyond standard stand-up with music and magic
    • real-time testing of jokes and counterintuitive audience feedback
    • pacing laughs every six to eight seconds for momentum
    • adapting format for short attention spans with rapid one-liners
    • maintaining effortlessness despite difficulty and precision
    • vault of unused material and long-term writing practice
    • using self-deprecation to keep sharp humor ethical

    I am Benja Welldone, Thank you for listening. I'm out. Peace.

  • #380: Command Attention. - Can You Hear Me? And Are You Listening?..
    2025/10/19

    Send us a text

    We turn a tough political banquet into a playbook for presence. Two questions reshape the room: can you hear me and are you listening, with practical fixes for sound, engagement, and momentum.

    • ocean and surfboard metaphor for crowd energy
    • hearing versus listening as separate checks
    • why sound checks and backup gear matter
    • when crowd work fails and how to qualify targets
    • laughter and silence as contagious signals
    • shorten setups to fit noisy venues
    • how to redirect focus toward willing listeners
    • after action reports for accountability and growth
    • parking lot encore to repair missed connections
    • simple script to set boundaries without snark

    Check me out. Peace.

    2025/10/19

    Send us a text

    We talk through the strange way clarity arrives after confusion and how training, lists, and relentless focus restore momentum when life feels like a whirlwind. The lens is comedy, work, and jujitsu, but the tools work for any heavy season.

    • using checklists to anchor focus under pressure
    • jujitsu as a mental reset that sharpens writing
    • balancing comedy reps with a demanding day job
    • choosing effort over complaints when time is tight
    • learning from quitting without chasing rivals
    • adopting the winners focus on themselves mindset
    • building a 1 percent better daily system
    • turning fog into clear next steps

    Check me out. Peace.

  • #378 - The Bible: Romans 12:2,
    2025/10/05

    Send us a text

    We trace a personal shift from chasing comparisons to building a distinct creative lane, guided by Romans 12:2 and a simple daily practice to renew the mind. A short verse fuels a bigger decision: stop conforming to the industry’s patterns and craft work that can’t be compared.

    • Romans 12:2 as a compass for creative choices
    • resisting comparison and trend-chasing in comedy
    • designing a lane where difference is the advantage
    • early audience reactions to a new format and tone
    • daily writing and simple faith habits to renew focus
    • testing ideas to discern what truly works
    • balancing purpose, career growth, and providing for family

    Please check out that Bible verse

  • #377 - The Bible: Romans 8:31
    2025/10/05

    Send us a text

    We reflect on how Romans 8:31 reframes confidence, calling, and effort, and why repeated moments of alignment feel less like coincidence and more like direction. We talk gifts, resistance, and the daily choices that turn faith into focused action.

    • church moments that feel personal and timely
    • Romans 8:31 as a lens for courage
    • divine support versus coincidence
    • gifts as entrusted work to steward
    • resistance and procrastination as subtle sabotage
    • discipline, health, and habits that protect calling
    • choosing wholehearted effort and follow-through
    • closing reflections and a look ahead to more verses

    “Check me out. Peace.”

  • #376: The WAR of Art.
    2025/09/19

    Send us a text

    Overcoming procrastination requires putting yourself physically where you need to perform your creative work. Steven Pressfield's book "Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be" offers practical wisdom on defeating the resistance that keeps us from our gifts.

    • Self-sabotage and distraction often prevent us from doing important creative work
    • Steven Pressfield's books frame procrastination as "resistance" against our divine gifts
    • Not using your gifts is essentially rejecting your purpose and dimming your light
    • The first 20 minutes of creative work are often unfocused before productivity kicks in
    • Fighting procrastination is a daily battle that requires consistent commitment
    • Physical location matters—being in your creative space helps trigger focus
    • Tracking completed tasks creates a "physical imprint" that reinforces good habits

    Check out Steven Pressfield's books, especially "The War of Art" - it's beautiful, amazing, and will help you understand the deeper meaning of resistance to your creative work.

  • #375: Always Show Up. - Life Lessons, & Jiu-Jitsu.
    2025/09/19

    Send us a text

    Finding balance is essential for mental health and creativity. My jiu-jitsu practice serves as that escape from overthinking, though my training schedule recently changed.

    • Almost skipped a promotion ceremony believing I didn't deserve recognition
    • Friend encouraged me to attend, saying others might see progress I couldn't recognize
    • Coach's message validated this: "You don't see what we see"
    • Received an unexpected stripe promotion
    • The difference between a white belt and black belt is simply continuing to show up
    • Being just 1% better every day means being 100% better in 100 days
    • Connected with someone celebrating 300 days of sobriety through Instagram
    • Social media can create meaningful connections with people at all levels

    Keep showing up, keep being a good friend, keep working to be the best version of yourself every day.
