    How I Beat My Quarter-Life Crisis | EP. 232

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I share the three action steps that helped me work through my quarter-life crisis and regain control of my life.There was a time when I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where I was headed. Like many people, I found myself questioning my decisions, my future, and whether all the hard work I was putting in would ever pay off. But through that struggle, I discovered three powerful lessons that completely changed my perspective.1. Submit to the work.There are no shortcuts. If you truly want something, you have to be willing to do the work required to make it happen. Success isn't about finding the easy path—it's about staying committed to the process.2. Cut out the noise.Everyone has an opinion about your life, your goals, and what you should be doing. At some point, you have to stop listening to every outside voice and start trusting your own judgment.3. You can't lose if you never give up.The only guaranteed way to fail is to quit. As long as you keep showing up, learning, adjusting, and moving forward, you're still in the game.Throughout the episode, I share personal experiences from my own journey and explain how these principles helped me push through uncertainty, stay focused on my goals, and continue building the life I want.At the end of the day, the biggest lesson I learned is simple:Your life is what you make it.No matter where you are right now, you have the ability to create a future that excites you. It won't happen overnight, and it won't always be easy—but if you're willing to put in the work, tune out the noise, and refuse to quit, amazing things can happen.If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or uncertain about your path, this episode is for you.Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep building. You've got this. 💪🎙️TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO1:10 WELCOME TO THE PODCAST2:10 TIME CAPSULE (LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WORLD TODAY)5:30 MAIN TOPIC / LET'S GET PERSONAL ALL-IN-ONE25:08 WISDOME FROM AN OG (YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT SO KEEP PUSHING GUYS!26:26 OUTRO!

    The Power of Making a Choice: 3 Action Steps To Make Better Choices In Your Life Today | TPH EP. 229

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I talk about one of the most powerful things a person can do in life: make a choice.Not even the “perfect” choice — just making a decision and moving forward.Too many people stay stuck because they spend all their time overthinking, waiting for certainty, or being afraid to fail. But the truth is, progress usually starts the moment you decide to move.Throughout the episode, I break down the meaning of choice, why it matters so much, and how successful people make decisions every single day — even when they don’t have all the answers.I also talk about Drake and his new Iceman album, the reactions surrounding it, and the influence he continues to have through the choices he makes creatively and professionally. Using that conversation as a real-world example, I explain how decisions shape not only careers, but identity and growth over time.Toward the end of the main topic, I give three practical action steps you can apply to your own life today:1. Look at all the choices in front of you and weigh the pros and cons.2. Remember why you’re doing what you do and where you want to go in life.3. Make a choice, adjust as you learn, and improve along the way.I finish the episode by sharing some motivation and reminding people that they matter, they’re appreciated, and they’re capable of building a better future one decision at a time.If you’ve been stuck, hesitant, or afraid to move forward, this episode is your reminder that clarity often comes after the choice — not before it.Tap in and trust yourself enough to decide.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO ( WE ALL GOTTA MAKE CHOICES, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT IT)1:18 WELCOME (EP. 229 WE HERE, THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME WITH ME AND DSP!)2:17 TIME CAPSULE (DRAKE DROPPED ICEMAN GANG!!!!!!)5:24 MAING TOPIC (3 ACTION STEPS TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES IN YOUR LIFE TODAY)15:39 LET'S GET PERSONAL (FRIDAY WE WAS WORKING, SATURDAY WE WAS CHILLING)20:37 WISDOME FROM AN OG ( I FEEL LIKE I CAN RUN THROUGH A WALL!!)27:56 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (HOW TO SET BETTER BOUNDARIES IN LIFE)29:18 OUTRO (THANKS FOR BEING HERE WITH ME, HAVE A GREAT WEEK)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    Overwhelmed? Here’s How to Refocus and Move Forward | EP. 228

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I talk about something I think a lot of people are struggling with right now: feeling mentally overwhelmed by everything happening in the world.From politics to nonstop social media content to useless information we were never meant to consume 24/7, it can start to feel like your brain never truly gets a break. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to slow down too much when you’re overloaded — and how dangerous that can become if you lose your momentum completely.That’s why I believe slowing down is a double-edged sword.Sometimes you need to slow down so you can reflect, reset, and understand what’s really going on in your life. But at the same time, if you stay stuck in that state too long, you can lose focus, discipline, and direction.In this episode, I give my perspective on how to balance both sides and share three action steps you can use to speed back up, regain your momentum, and get back to work:- Stop trying to learn more and just do more!- Record your progress daily- Fix more problems than you create in the worldI also talk about my own experiences with feeling overwhelmed, trying to stay disciplined in a distracted world, and why simplifying your focus can completely change your mindset and productivity.If you’ve been feeling mentally drained, distracted, or stuck in your own head lately, this episode is for you.Slow down when you need to… but don’t stay there forever.CONTENT MENTIONED:- https://open.spotify.com/episode/0YnUI8873YoyPW8upULQap?si=57d4ee23bacb4556- https://youtube.com/@cgpgrey?si=69jhvI-hQlCrCzPl TIME STAMPS:0:00 INTRO (WHEN LIFE IS GO-GO-GO)1:03 WELCOME (IT'S MOTHER'S DAY!)2:03 TIME CAPSULE (LAKERS DOWN 3-0, COMMENT FROM TRUMP ADMIN, GERRYMANDERING??)9:10 MAIN TOPIC (3 STEPS TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED)20:44 LET'S GET PERSONAL (THIS LAST WEEK GAVE ME PERSPECTIVE GANG)24:42 WISDOME FROM AN OG (WISE WORDS FROM QUINN NELSON)27:56 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (HOW TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES)28:57 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    3 Pieces of Advice That Kept Me Going Through Adversity | EP. 227

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I break down three pieces of advice that have helped me keep my head on straight through some of the most challenging weeks and months I’ve faced.Life isn’t always smooth. There are moments where everything feels heavy, uncertain, and frustrating. But in those moments, what you do next matters more than anything.In this episode, I talk about three key principles that have helped me keep moving forward:Reflect on what’s happening – Take time to understand your situation instead of reacting emotionally.Have a plan – Without direction, it’s easy to fall off track. Planning gives your effort purpose.Don’t quit – At the end of the day, the only true failure is giving up on yourself.I also get real about what these past few weeks have looked like for me — the adversity, the pressure, and the moments where it would’ve been easier to stop. But through it all, staying disciplined, continuing to work toward my dreams, and showing up no matter what has allowed me to keep putting one foot in front of the other.This episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always feel good, but it’s always worth it.If you’re going through a tough season right now, this one is for you.Keep showing up. You’re closer than you think.VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    From Idea to Execution: My 3-Step Process That Helped Me Keep Going | EP. 223

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I break down a simple but powerful 3-step framework that can help you actually achieve your goals — not just think about them.A lot of people have dreams, ideas, and ambitions… but they never turn them into reality. The difference isn’t talent — it’s structure, clarity, and consistent action.In this episode, I walk through the three steps that have helped me stay focused and keep pushing forward, even when things get difficult:1. Define where you want to go – Get clear on your vision and what you’re truly working toward.2. Understand where you are right now – Be honest about your current situation so you can build from a real foundation.3. Decide how you’re going to work daily – Create a plan and commit to showing up consistently.I also share my personal experiences — the wins, the setbacks, and the moments where I had to keep going despite adversity. This framework isn’t perfect, but it’s real, and it’s something that’s helped me continue building toward the life I want.At the end of the day, achieving your goals isn’t about motivation — it’s about having a system and sticking to it, even when it’s hard.If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure about how to move forward, this episode will give you a clear direction and a practical way to start.Tap in and start building the life you’ve been thinking about.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO / CONTENT0:56 MAIN TOPIC OVERVIEW2:39 STEP #1 CLEARLY DEFINE THE GOAL AND WHY YOU WANT IT!6:21 STEP #2 CLEARLY DEFINE WHERE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW AND HOW YOU WANT TO KEEP TRACK OF PROGRESS!!8:25 STEP #3 CLEARLY DEFINE THE PATH YOU WANT TO TAKE TO REACH YOUR GOAL!13:56 MAIN TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS PODCAST17:14 3 STEP FRAMWORK ONE MORE TIME18:50 OUTRO / NOW GO TRY IT FOR YOURSELFVISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    Where Is Your Money Actually Going? | EP. 222

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, we’re talking about something that impacts every part of your life: money.What is money, really? Why does it matter so much? And most importantly — are you actually in control of it?I break down the fundamentals of money, why understanding it is key to building the life you want, and how small changes in how you manage it can make a huge difference over time. From everyday spending habits to long-term financial thinking, this episode is about becoming more aware and intentional with your money.We also touch on real-world situations — from TSA workers dealing with pay issues to decisions being made by Kim Reynolds around school funding and classroom enrollment. These examples highlight how money doesn’t just affect individuals — it shapes communities, opportunities, and everyday life.I use myself as a case study, sharing my personal approach to finances, how I’m working to pay off loans faster, and a simple way to track where your money is going so you’re not left guessing at the end of the month.This episode is about awareness, discipline, and control. Because at the end of the day, if you don’t understand your money, it’s going to control you.If you’re ready to get more intentional with your finances and start building better habits, this episode is for you.Tap in and take control of your money.LINKS TO ARTICLES:- https://www.commongoodiowa.org/policy-areas/pk-12--higher-ed/fact-sheet-state-school-funding-bills-shortchange-iowa-students- https://usafacts.org/answers/how-are-public-schools-in-the-us-funded/state/iowa/- https://www.npr.org/2026/03/26/g-s1-115401/trump-executive-order-tsa-agents-congress-shutdown-funding- https://www.reuters.com/world/us/dhs-orders-payment-50000-us-airport-workers-emergency-action-2026-03-27/- https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/what-to-know-about-trumps-executive-order-to-pay-tsa-officers-and-its-impact-on-airport-security-linesTIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO (LET'S TALK ABOUT WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING!?!?)0:47 WELCOME (THANKS FOR BEING HERE YOU ROCK)1:28 TIME CAPSULE (IOWA MEN'S HOOP WENT ON A CRAZY RUN)3:20 MAIN TOPIC (WHAT IS MONEY, WHY DOES IT MATTER, HOW CAN WE USE IT BETTER?)15:02 LET'S GET PERSONAL (MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY GOT GOOD AFTER DOING THIS!!!)20:24 WISDOM FROM YOUR OG ( SPEND LESS THAN YOU MAKE, AND MAKE A LOT TO LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX)23:21 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC ( HOW TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE NEEDED TO WIN AT LIFE)25:48 OUTRO (THANKS FOR BEING HERE!

    Most People Never Ask Themselves This… (EP. 221)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, we get real about one of the most important — and most overlooked — questions you can ask yourself: why do you do what you do?What drives you when things get hard? What keeps you going when motivation fades? And are you being truly honest with yourself about the answers?I break down how understanding your “why” is the foundation for everything — your habits, your discipline, your consistency, and ultimately your success. Without it, it’s easy to fall off track. With it, you can push through almost anything.I also share my personal journey of rebuilding myself by asking these exact questions. There were moments where I had to take a step back, get honest, and really understand what I wanted, what I needed, and what I was willing to work for. That clarity changed everything for me.In the Wisdom from an OG segment, we dive into something just as important: regaining control of your dopamine. In a world full of distractions, learning how to reset your focus and take back control of your habits is key to becoming the person you know you can be.This episode is about self-awareness, honesty, and discipline — and how all three work together to help you build a life you’re proud of.If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or unsure of your direction, this is your reminder to pause, reflect, and ask yourself the real question:Why?VIDEOS:- https://youtu.be/QRt5GsctS-E?si=azcrNAYWYFBwEju3- https://youtu.be/OABogdWlzTk?si=DlJ2pWAPh8Ojk3aS- https://youtu.be/UUiMaSbr79w?si=L2GUsUNWDNTpkCwoTIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO (ASK YOURSELF THE BIG QUESTIONS)1:04 WELCOME (THANKS FOR YOUR TIME)1:28 TIME CAPSULE (I FOUND SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME)4:11 MAIN TOPIC (CONTEXT, WHY TO ASK WHY, EXAMPLES, WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT)22:20 LET'S GET PERSONAL (MATERIAL OBJECT = CONFIDENCE FOR ME)27:34 WISDOM FROM AN OG (TAKE BACK YOU DOPAMINE / MARCUS STADON)35:11 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (SOMETHING ABOUT MONEY)36:34 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING THE PODCAST) VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    Social Media vs Real Life: It's Changing Your Life… Here’s What To Do About It (EP. 220)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, we dive into a topic that affects almost everyone today: social media vs real life.Social media can be an incredible tool, but it can also reshape how we think, how we spend our time, and even how we view ourselves and the people around us. In this episode, I go off script and talk about the real-world effects social media has on your brain, your friendships, and your relationships with family.Using real-life examples, I break down what actually happens when we spend too much time online and what we miss when we forget to live in the real world.I also share five ways you can use social media more intentionally and three ways to immediately improve your real-life experiences. These are practical shifts that can help you build stronger relationships, gain more confidence, and start focusing on what actually matters.Along the way, I open up about something personal: overcoming my own fear of looking dumb or lost when trying to learn from others. Sometimes the fastest way to grow is simply being willing to ask questions and learn from people who know more than you.To close out the episode, I share a piece of wisdom that came straight from a YouTube comment section—proof that sometimes powerful insights can come from the most unexpected places.If you’ve ever felt like you’re spending too much time online or not enough time living your real life, this episode will help you reset your perspective.Tap in and let’s talk about it.VIDEO MENTIONED:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THpo9hNOhLk- https://www.youtube.com/@marcusstadon/videos- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dY-9QBbzXZc- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cfZRvYiE1o- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRipbDa6fm4&t=69s- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aR-5cNABAI- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkLzo_oNVho- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cLdZ6PTGYvw- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1H9WX7x8pw- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHmXQvLSZWo&t=77s- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzMRgsVsysg- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Tq2gvGt80TIME STAMPS:0:00 INTRO (WE OFF THE SCRIPT)1:10 WELCOME TO THE PODCAST (WE HERE!!!)2:17 TIME CAPSULE (CAITLIN CLARK AND NEW JACK HARLOW ALBUM)7:53 MAIN TOPIC (SOCIAL MEDIA VS REAL LIFE + TIPS AND TRICKS) 27:21 LET'S GET PERSONAL (OVERCOMING MY FEAR AND LETTING GO OF THE EGO)33:37 WISDOME FROM AN OG (RANDOM YOUTUBE COMMENT WISDOME)40:31 NEXT WEEK'S TOPICS (SOMETHING, I WILL BE POSTING)41:35 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING, STAY POSITIVE AND GET THE BREAD)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    THE POWER OF REPETITION, WHY IT WORKS FOR SOME AND NOT YOU!! (EP. 219)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, we dive into one of the most underrated ingredients of success: repetition. Doing something over and over again might sound simple, but when used the right way, repetition becomes a true superpower. I break down why repetition works, why it sometimes doesn’t work for others, and how the difference often comes down to intention, effort, and consistency.I share personal examples from my own life — including my experience playing the trumpet and how musicians rely on repetition to sharpen their craft. I also use the example of a race car driver, where every lap, every turn, and every adjustment is built through repetition and practice. The same principle applies to business, creativity, and personal growth.This episode is also a reminder that if you want to be successful, you’re probably going to have to work harder and longer than you originally thought. Real progress often happens after most people would have already quit. That’s why getting to work and refusing to give up matters so much.To close things out, I ask a simple but powerful question: What’s something great in your life right now? It could be a person, a place, a mindset, or a habit that keeps you grounded and moving forward.Sometimes success isn’t about finding the perfect strategy — it’s about showing up, repeating the process, and trusting the work.LINK TO VIDEOS:- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gzKl8mvQrIc- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sohKo2gVp08- https://www.youtube.com/@SearchParty/featuredTIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO (REPETITION IS A SUPER POWER, BUT THERE'S A CATCH)0:53 WELCOME (THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, HOW'S LIFE)1:43 TIME CAPSULE (IRAN WAR AND HMB #145)7:51 MAIN TOPIC (WHAT IS REPETITION, DOES IT WORK, 3 IDEAS TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU)25:01 LET'S GET PERSONAL (JUST KEEP SHOWING UP, NO SHORTCUTS)29:03 WISDOME FROM AN OG (QUOTE FROM CODIE S.)33:47 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (SOCIAL MEDIA VS REAL LIFE HAPPINESS)35:05 OUTRO (WISE WORD FROM DARSHAUN)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    4 WAYS TO GAIN RESPECT IN 2026! (THE POSITIVITY HOUR EP. 218)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I break down four powerful ways to gain respect when you speak, build real confidence, and ultimately improve your life. The way you communicate isn’t just about words — it’s about presence, clarity, energy, and belief in yourself.We dive into practical examples using photos and videos to analyze body language, tone, posture, and delivery — because how you show up visually matters just as much as what you say. I also reflect on the growth of my own business and how sharpening my communication skills has directly impacted opportunities, leadership, and results.I reference Codie Sanchez and her framework for becoming a better human — and we unpack how that mindset applies to everyday conversations, confidence, and long-term success.If you’ve ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or not fully heard, this episode will give you practical tools to command respect without being loud, aggressive, or fake. It’s about becoming grounded, intentional, and powerful in your own way.Tap in — your voice matters more than you think.LINKS MENTIONED:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyTP_oaZyks&t=820s- https://electrek.co/2025/12/12/battery-storage-hits-65-mwh-tipping-point-solar/- https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/how-cheap-is-battery-storage/- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZnY5-NZTes- https://gldn-energy.com/- https://www.instagram.com/gldn_energy/- https://codiesanchez.com/TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO (LET'S GET INTO IT)0:33 TIMECAPSULE (SOLAR BATTERY)4:49 MAIN TOPICS (4 MAIN POINT AND 1 BONUS)23:32 LET'S GET PERSONAL ( MY OWN JOURNEY, BUSINESS UPDATE BLOG POSTS)27:40 WISDOM FROM AN OG (CODIE SANCHEZ)31:20 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (HOW TO DO REPITITION THE RIGHT WAY)34:04 OUTRO (THANKS FOR BEING HERE)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    2 MAJOR LESSONS THIS YEAR HAS TAUGHT ME (EP. 208)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I reflect on the two biggest lessons 2025 taught me: I need structure — and I need to be myself. This year was full of challenges, setbacks, and moments where quitting would’ve been easier than continuing. But the only reason I made it through was because I kept going, even when the path wasn’t clear.I talk about what it’s really like being a normal person trying to become something special — the pressure, the comparison, the impatience, and the doubt that comes with growth. I share how building structure in my life helped me stay grounded, and how embracing my authenticity helped me stop forcing timelines that weren’t meant for me.This episode is about understanding that growth takes time, success isn’t linear, and everyone has their own pace. You don’t need to rush. You don’t need to copy anyone else. You just need to stay consistent, trust the process, and run your own race.If you’ve been feeling behind, unsure, or stuck between who you are and who you’re becoming — this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO (AS WE GET TO THE END, I HAVE LEARNED THIS...)0:53 TIME CAPSULE (EPSTEIN FILES, WEED LAWS, AND BUSINESS TRIPS)5:04 MAIN TOPIC ( I NEED STRUTURE, AND I NEED TO JUST BE ME)13:25 LET'S GET PERSONAL / WISDOM FROM YOUR OG (WISDOM FROM A PERSON TRYING TO MAKE IT OUT)21:53 NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC (END OF THE YEAR WRAP UP STORY)23:47 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (But You Have to Keep Going) (EP. 204)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I get real about something we all deal with but rarely talk about: not being okay. Life gets heavy, and sometimes the pressure, the setbacks, and the expectations start piling up until you feel like you’re drowning. That’s exactly where I was — and it’s the reason I made my new mixtape.Today, I break down the full story: the adversity, the copyright issues, the frustration, the delays… all of it. But more importantly, I share why I created the project in the first place. I wasn’t okay. I needed an outlet. I needed something that reminded me what joy felt like. I needed something that made me excited to wake up again.And the crazy part?Starting small — creating something just for me — brought me back to life.Now I love life again. I love the grind. I love the process. I want to keep going. And none of that would’ve happened if I quit the moment things got rough.This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to fall apart, and it’s okay to not feel like yourself. But you have to keep going. You have to create something. Try something. Start small. Because the smallest step can be the thing that saves you.Tap in. This one’s for anyone fighting silent battles.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO0:43 WELCOME0:50 TIME CAPSULE2:20 MAIN TOPIC11:30 WISDOM FROM YOUR OG15:06 OUTRO / NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC!VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    Why Success Feels Lonely Sometimes (EP. 203)

    TODAY! DSP PRESENTS EPISODE 203 OF THE POSITIVITY HOUR PODCAST. Success is one of the most rewarding journeys you can take… but nobody talks about the loneliness that comes with leveling up. In this episode of The Positivity Hour, we dig into the silent side of growth — the shrinking circle, the quieter phone, the sudden distance between who you were and who you’re becoming.I share personal stories from my own journey: times when chasing my goals meant losing people, moments when I felt disconnected from my old life, and the realization that alignment—not drama—is what truly separates you from certain friendships, habits, and environments.We’ll break down why success naturally creates solitude, how to interpret that quiet phase, and why it’s actually a sign you’re moving in the right direction. And most importantly, we’ll talk about how to handle the loneliness in a healthy, empowering way so you can keep growing without feeling guilty for outgrowing.If you’re grinding toward your dreams and your world feels a little smaller, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and how to stay locked in.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO1:36 WELCOME1:56 MAIN TOPIC #1 THE MOMENT YOU REALIZE SUCCESS FEELS LONLEY7:02 #2 WHY SUCCESS NATURALLY CREATES DISTANCE11:25 #3 THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LOSING PEOPLE14:17 #4 THE GIFT INSIDE LONEILNESS22:26 #5 HOW TO HANDLE THE LONEILNESSIN A HEALTHY WAY28:50 MAIN TOPIC WRAP UP29:45 OUTRO / NEXT WEEK'S TOPICVISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    From Grinding to Growing: Learning to Love the Process (EP. 202)

    In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I open up about one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve had in my journey — the difference between grinding just to get by and loving what you do every single day.For a long time, I was deep in that “grind mode” mindset — working nonstop, chasing results, and honestly not enjoying most of the process. Whether it was editing late nights, handling business taxes, or managing clients, I used to see it all as a chore. I thought that was what success looked like — constantly pushing, constantly tired.But over time, something changed. I realized that real success isn’t just about the results — it’s about how you feel while getting there. These days, I genuinely love every part of what I do. From planning shoots to designing content to even doing the behind-the-scenes stuff most people dread — I see it all as part of the lifestyle I’ve built.In this episode, I share personal stories and lessons I’ve learned along the way, breaking down what it means to truly enjoy your process instead of fighting against it. If you’ve ever felt burned out or disconnected from your goals, this conversation might help you fall back in love with your work — and remind you why you started in the first place.🎧 Tune in to The Positivity Hour for your weekly dose of truth, inspiration, and energy to stay on your grind and finish strong.TIME STAMPS:0:00 INTRO0:41 WELCOME (THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME WITH US)1:31 TIME CAPSULE (IOWA CLOSE LOSS / BTS MEDIA TEAM)4:33 MAIN TOPIC (THE SWITCH FROM GRINDING TO LOVING THE PROCESS)14:45 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    THE POWER OF CONFIDENCE (EP. 192)

    In this week’s episode of The Positivity Hour, I opened up about something that shaped my entire journey—confidence. We all know how powerful it feels when you’re walking in your purpose and believing in yourself. But what happens when you lose that confidence? And more importantly—how do you get it back?I shared a three-part story about my own life: how I first gained confidence, the tough season where I lost it, and the hard but rewarding process of building it back stronger than before.Confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about trusting yourself enough to keep moving, even when things feel shaky. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like your belief in yourself slipped away, this episode is for you.🎙️ Tap the link in bio to listen now on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube!TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO0:25 MAIN TOPIC OVERVIEW1:14 WHAT IS CONFIDENCE 2:04 STORY PART 1 (HIGH SCHOOL)5:33 STORY PART 2 (COLLEGE COVID TIME)8:56 STORY PART 3 (2025 SO FAR)11:57 WHY CONFIDENCE MATTERS15:02 OUTRO VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    5 PIECES OF ADVICE I'D GIVE MY YOUNGER SELF (EP. 191)

    In this week’s episode of The Positivity Hour, I sit down and reflect on the 5 pieces of advice I wish I could give my younger self—and how you can apply them in your own life today. We’ll talk about the importance of being yourself unapologetically, why building real, quality relationships matters more than chasing popularity, and how failure isn’t the end—it’s proof that you actually tried. I’ll also share my thoughts on why starting is often the hardest but most powerful step you can take, no matter what dream you’re chasing.This is an episode packed with lessons, stories, and reminders that growth isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, learning, and moving forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck, doubted yourself, or struggled with where to begin, this episode is for you.Tune in, take notes, and let’s grow together.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO 0:46 MAIN TOPIC (5 PIECES OF ADVICE I'D TELL MY YOUNGER SELF)14:24 LET'S GET PERSONAL (REVIEWING THIS LAST WEEK)17:23 WISDOME FROM YOUR OG (BOUNS PIECE OF ADVICE FOR YOUR HEADTOP)20:59 (OUTRO)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

    LOCKING IN ON THE BIGGER PICTURE (EP. 190)

    Welcome back to The Positivity Hour! I’m your host, Darshaun, and today we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart—the grind, the hustle, and what it really means to stay locked in until the goal is accomplished.Too often people look for shortcuts, handouts, or an easy way out. But the truth is, when you’re chasing your dream, nobody is going to hand it to you. You’ve got to wake up hungry, put in the hours, and commit to the process—even when it’s uncomfortable, even when nobody’s clapping for you.In this episode, I’m going to share some of my own personal experiences: the late nights, the sacrifices, and the times I had to choose between comfort and commitment. I’ll be real with you—there were moments where it would’ve been easy to give up, but those are the exact moments that defined me the most.So if you’re grinding right now, if you’re chasing something bigger than yourself, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why the grind matters, why handouts don’t build character, and how staying locked in is the only way to truly win.SUBSCRIBE TO MY SISTER: ⁨@Greeneyedgamer97⁩ https://www.youtube.com/⁨@Greeneyedgamer97⁩ TIME STAMPS:0:00 INTRO (WE IN HERE!!!!)0:56 WELCOME (THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME WITH US)1:38 TIME CAPSULE (4 TOPICS, DON'T MISS THEM)5:47 MAINTOPIC (LET'S TALK ABOUT LAST WEEK GRIND)13:39 LET'S GET PERSONAL (LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS UPCOMING 6 MONTHS)19:48 WISDOM FROM YOUR OG (LOCK IN OR CLOCK IN)22:22 NEXT'S WEEK'S TOPIC (5 ACTION STEPS I'D TELL MY YOUNGER SELF)22:58 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
