Speaker 1: I's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up
Speaker 1: to SIDS team? You're listening to The Daily Game the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated.
Speaker 1: It comes from Michael Francis, former Colombo crime family boss
Speaker 1: and a friend of mine. Do what you do best
Speaker 1: and delegate the rest. That's a jewel. Do what you
Speaker 1: do best and delegate the rest. Find other people that
Speaker 1: can do things that you may not be an expert in.
Speaker 1: I got a good friend named Tim's story. He's a
Speaker 1: motion picture director. I've known him ever since he was
Speaker 1: sixteen years old. He did a movie called Silver Surfer
Speaker 1: with all this CGI in it and all this special effects,
Speaker 1: and I asked him, I said, how do you do
Speaker 1: the special effects? He said, I don't do the special effects.
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded with experts. I direct the actors up to
Speaker 1: a point and then the special effects people come in
Speaker 1: and they handle that. So know what you can do.
Speaker 1: I'm not a house painter, so I'm not finna try
Speaker 1: to paint my house, you know. I'm saying I know
Speaker 1: what I can do. I try to fix things sometimes
Speaker 1: and when I get to a point, I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: I'm out of my skill set right now, I am
Speaker 1: about to break this thing. And you have to learn
Speaker 1: how to call in experts when you step out of
Speaker 1: your realm and don't be afraid to say, hey, I
Speaker 1: do not know how to do this. I need to
Speaker 1: find somebody, hire somebody, or connect with somebody that can
Speaker 1: take it to the next level. I guess you could
Speaker 1: say this is kind of like stay in your lane.
Speaker 1: Let's put it like this. As a rapper, I know
Speaker 1: how to but I'm not a producer. I don't really
Speaker 1: know how to run drum machines. A lot of rappers can,
Speaker 1: and they can produce and rap and sing or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. I'm a lyricist. I can write lyrics.
Speaker 1: I hire people to make the music I connect. I
Speaker 1: delegate that experts at that. So don't try to do everything,
Speaker 1: because you know you don't want to be a jack
Speaker 1: of all trades and master of none. You want to
Speaker 1: master something, find what you're strong at, and then whatever
Speaker 1: else is needed for the task. You have to delegate.
Speaker 1: You have to find people that can help you and
Speaker 1: even if you don't have the money to do it
Speaker 1: right now, know that's where you're working for. You're working
Speaker 1: for a point where you can create a team that
Speaker 1: can accomplish the mission much more efficient. This has been
Speaker 1: another ice cold fact from me iced tea. Listening again
