Ah, Welcome to Another Episode of Spencer Uncensored - (Episode 67)

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Spencer Uncensored. I'm your host, Spencer, and this is episode 67. Yes, we’ve been at this for over a year now, and it’s been a wild ride, to say the least. Today’s setup is a bit different—well, not really. I’m in the same place I am every week, but instead of streaming through Zoom, I’m coming to you live from inside the Facebook app. A change, but a small one.

During one of those creatively rich days, I found myself on the back deck with a cigar in one hand and a marker in the other, whiteboarding away. If you’ve never tried whiteboarding your ideas, it’s quite something—like doing a mind map but way more dynamic. It’s one of those non-digital ways I keep track of what’s coming down the pipeline and maintain a grip on the bustling world of ideas that is this show.
4Interestingly, today’s stream had a bit of a hiccup as I couldn’t do it from Zoom. I prefer Zoom for its cleaner look and the different recording quality it offers, but no worries—we adapt and overcome. And for those of you tuning in from New Jersey, shoutout to you! Cool to have you here.

Let’s dive into today's conversation which, by the way, might be a short one. Our primary focus today is on the concept of drive. We’ve touched on this in past episodes, and the evolution of this topic has been quite impactful. We’re now incorporating more master classes and even considering a two-day boot camp. What do you think? Would you prefer a condensed two-day session or a spread-out seven-week program? Each has its merits, particularly in how they allow for absorption and application of the unshakable framework we delve into.

If you’re familiar with our discussions, you know we often talk about the interplay of mindset, mechanics, and movement. There are four patterns we’ve identified: frustration, burnout, stagnation, and the unshakable state. Each requires a different focus—mechanics for those feeling stuck without traction, mindset for those hitting a ceiling despite past successes, and movement for those who see possibilities but can’t seem to initiate action.

In particular, I’ve had enlightening conversations with real estate agents recently. The industry’s changes have many feeling uncertain, drifting rather than driving forward. Using the strategies we discuss, like understanding the difference between a drifter and a driver, can pivot someone’s career trajectory significantly.

To those tuning in for the first time or the hundredth, think about where you stand. Are you frustrated, burned out, or feeling stagnant? The tools and strategies we discuss here can shift your journey toward unshakable progress.

We’re also making strides with a new book, which is taking precedence over the originally planned "Unshakable Drive." This new book will cover momentum and mastery more broadly, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide to achieving unshakable progress.

As we wrap up, remember that whether you’re looking to increase your pace or fine-tune your approach, there’s something in this for everyone. Time is a resource, and how we choose to spend or save it distinguishes our outcomes dramatically. Wealthy individuals often spend money to save time—a philosophy that underscores much of what we discuss here.

So, whether you’re here for personal growth or professional development, or maybe you’re interested in bringing me in for a masterclass, remember this platform is all about forward movement and tangible results.

Thanks for joining me tonight on Spencer Uncensored. Don’t forget to check out our website and consider joining our private Facebook group if you haven’t yet. Keep moving forward, and as always, stay unshakable.

What's your Number?

We talk about freedom. We talk about choice. We talk about work-life balance , the hustle , and the grind . But sometimes, all that chatter is just noise, distracting us from the actual lever of autonomy . The lever is a number. It’s not your net worth. It’s not your annual salary. It's not your bank account balance right now. It’s your FUN (F* U Number) . It’s the amount of capital, invested strategically, that would spin off enough residual income —passively—to cover your chosen lifestyle expenses forever. It’s the size of the asset that makes the job optional. The deadline negotiable. The compromise avoidable. It’s the number that means you get to say 'no' to the client who drains you, 'yes' to the project that inspires you, and 'stop' to the routine that suffocates you. It's the ultimate measure of your self-reliance . If you don't know your FUN, you don't know the distance to your freedom. You're just wandering. You're working withou...

The Firewall

  The world is a machine. A vast, efficient, relentless machine focused on two things: speed and automation. If your job, your skill, or your output can be described by a predictable set of instructions, the machine will eventually learn to do it faster, cheaper, and without complaint. This is not a threat. It is a reality. It is the new baseline. So, where do you stand? Are you building your house on sand, relying on tasks that are easily copied? Or are you building a firewall? The firewall is the part of you the machine cannot touch. It's the unique combination of judgment, empathy, creativity, and the courage to make a non-obvious choice. This week is a choice. You can perform the necessary, replaceable tasks. Or you can invest in your firewall. The question isn’t about job security. It’s about value creation. What is the one thing you can learn, practice, or build this week that will make you so valuable, no one else can do your job five years from now? It's the dif...

The Multiplier

The clock runs. The hour passes. The time is spent. Most of the world gets paid for the passing of that time. It's a comfortable contract. An agreement of safety. Trade one hour of life for an agreed-upon unit of currency. The problem with this contract is that it caps your potential. It rewards presence, not performance. It celebrates effort, not outcome. But the economy of impact is different. No one pays the painter for the hours she spent cleaning the brushes. They pay her for the masterpiece. No one pays the entrepreneur for the hours he spent staring at the ceiling. They pay him for the breakthrough idea. They pay for the result . The moment you accept this truth, your relationship with the clock fundamentally changes. You stop asking, "How long will this take?" You start asking the only question that matters: What can I do with this time that will yield the single greatest result this week? This is the question of leverage. It's the search for the acti...
