WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Russ on Delusional Belief, Presence, Giving, and Letting Go of Timelines
- Russ says extraordinary results require extraordinary belief, which he describes as a knowing with no doubt and credits partly to his father's constant encouragement and his own competitiveness.
- He describes manifesting as feeling a future moment, like his mom's reaction to a beach house, in vivid detail every day, while also doing the work through a daily 'brick a day' habit.
- On creativity, he talks about being present, working in private solitude, and 'shaking the snow globe' by deliberately making songs from beats he dislikes or going wild with Auto-Tune.
- He recounts a hard 2018 when fame brought negativity, saying it wasn't a broken version of success but simply success, and that letting go of attachment to how things should go helped him recover.
- Russ argues that giving without expecting anything back, as opposed to loaning, drives fulfillment, and that no one should put a deadline on success.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasExtraordinary outcomes require extraordinary belief
Russ says he walked around claiming achievements that hadn't happened yet, like platinum plaques, and that to change your reality you must already believe it is your reality.
Manifestation means feeling, not just visualizing
He says seeing it isn't enough; you must immerse yourself in how it would feel, such as your mom's reaction to the beach house, daily, while still being proactive and developing skill.
Small daily actions beat fixating on the big picture
Citing a Will Smith story about laying a brick a day, Russ says focusing on the whole goal can be crippling, so do something small toward it every day.
Presence and discomfort fuel creativity
Russ says he slows down time by slowing his thoughts through presence, and that he reignited his creative fun by working with outside producers and making songs from beats he dislikes.
Confidence and humility can coexist
He says he had to be his own biggest believer, yet he is also a big fan of others who are dope, giving compliments and wanting to collaborate.
