Recently, I discovered the benefits of speaking your thoughts rather than simply thinking them. See, when you say things out loud they become clear, much clearer than if you simply thought them.
Thoughts can be murky, muddy and unclear but speaking your thoughts out-loud forces you to confront them. When you say the words out-loud, the answer instantly becomes clear.
Did you ever think about something for a long time, then discussed it with a friend and as you were saying it out loud you then said “hmm, now that I’ve said it out loud, I know exactly what I need to do”?
If so, what you did was speak your way to the answer. Speaking your way to the answer is what all great thinkers, philosophers and artists have done since the dawn of time.
I recently started recording my thoughts on a podcast called the Full Color Godcast. The first few episodes were murky, muddy and, some say, crazy. However, after 36 episodes the Full Color Godcast has become something very special.
Like an open-mic comedian who gets on stage with nothing and then develops an act simply by speaking to a crowd, the act of publishing my “open mic” notes has made me sharpen and refine my message.
The FCG has also morphed from me simply speaking whatever was on my mind to including questions from readers and fans.
Answering these questions aloud helps me as much as it helps the asker of the question because it forces me to come to the true answer.
It is very easy to type one thing (or even type nothing), but when forced to speak the answer, the true answer comes out.
Speaking my way to the answer for 20 minutes per day has been the absolute best thing I have ever done for gaining an understanding of my mission and life-purpose.
Each day, I get the benefit of accumulated knowledge and each day I am confronted with another question in which I must find the answer to.
(As an added benefit, I have learned the lost art of speaking well.)
How to speak your way to the answer in 3 steps:
Anyone can learn to speak well, anyone can speak their way to the answer, anyone can develop and refine their message, and anyone can have profound revelations about their purpose in life simply by following this 3-step plan…
Start a blog with Badnet
Record yourself speaking aloud for 20 minutes each day
Listen back to the recording and use the best bits as “journal entries” on your blog. The “best bits” will become your clearly refined message and/or purpose.
The accumulated knowledge you get by speaking the answers aloud and recording them each day will give you a clearer understanding of your mission and of your purpose in life.
When you record yourself, be sure to ask yourself some hard questions. Do this for 30 days and you will have profound revelations each day. It is simply impossible to not come to revelations while speaking your way to the answer.

Below are all Full Color Godcast episodes of the week, in descending order.
The Full Color Godcast is how I speak my way to the answer. The FCG is my detailed notes, published to an audience in real-time that I may receive feedback in real-time, much the same way a comedian gets on stage and starts speaking in an attempt to create a masterful act.
The FCG is sponsored by (and inspired by) Red Monkey, the supplement that helps you speak your way to the answer by reducing social anxiety and helping to give you “motor-mouth” syndrome.

Two-part Q: Ignoring all the shady stuff done by my hometown hero Jordan Belfort, do you agree with his idea of dealing with your problems by becoming rich and throwing money at them? I see merit in that. Also, how does a druggie become so successful? The ones I know are going nowhere fast.

In the podcast with Mike Cernovich called 5 Ways to Set Yourself Up in Your 30’s you mentioned about having a vision and visualizing it daily. However, my visualizations fail to materialize even with action. How can I improve on this?
What is your best advice to have a confidence that moves mountains and breaks the doubts about myself so that I can conquer the world with peace of mind?
What type of part time gig would you recommend for someone who can’t speak to save their life? I don’t know how to bullshit and don’t have much to say. I need something to pay the bills while I learn a skill and build my brand.
Thank you so much man! Finding you, Mike Cernovich, and Chris from GLL has changed my life forever.
Why do you need to cycle off RED-PCT? Is there anything about it that’s harmful to the body? Also, I don’t feel its effects as strongly as when I started it 3 weeks ago. Any reason for that?
We live in a time where things are incredibly easy for people and most Americans live a life of leisure. Why does it seem that so many people are still unhappy and directionless? Is it too much comfort or maybe the inability to value things?
What personal values do you abide by?
Will you ever marry? By the way, thank you for your work and advice. Shout out to San Diego!
Who gains from the media pushing the idea that men are inept and weak or even unnecessary? It’s a bad example for young kids coming up. Seems like a twisted agenda.

What guns do you own?
What is the thing you cherish the most, your Rosebud?
Follow-up question regarding the Red Coffee line: How do the effects of Red Coffee, Gold Coffee, and Black Coffee differ from each other? Or are they similar enough that it’s simply a matter of personal taste?
When can we join the NWR army as your soldiers? Quick answer: The first thing you can do is attend the up-coming B&D BBQ.
Have you ever tried juicing? For me it has become a daily habit and an easy way to get the nutrients of 5-7 servings of veggies in one glass that I can chug after workouts. Always feels so right for my body.
You’ve mentioned that Red Coffee and Red Monkey have synergistic effects when used together. How does Red Coffee interact with RED-PCT, Red Burner and Whey Protein?
When was the last time you had a drink?
Do you still critique websites so they can be presented better online?
How to not let school bring you down?
Would you be able to come off TRT if you wanted to or is it a lifelong treatment? Do you have to take estrogen blockers or does your test dosage allow you to skip that?
Thoughts on growing and maintaining a beard and how it affects your image?
How to get your questions answered on the Full Color Godcast:
To get your questions answered, be sure to follow me on Twitter or Instagram. I receive questions and topics for the daily posts only on Twitter or Instagram because there is a character limit.
Without a character limit, the questions become rambling. Twitter forces you to get your question out affirmatively and “on time.” I want concise questions and I answer all questions asked on Twitter or Instagram.
It is important to build endurance. Like they say in wrestling, fatigue makes cowards of us all.
