Why Using A Dumb Phone Is Smart | Flow State with Harry Mack #11
Музыка
Harry’s back with Flow State Episode 11. In this solo episode, Harry gets real about the undesired effects of algorithm-fueled social media scrolling and how he started reclaiming that time in his day. He answers questions about what he’s currently reading, who inspires him, and who could take on the role of Harry Mack when it’s time to film the story of his life. Harry also talks about getting lost in flow state and what’s happening when he closes his eyes during a freestyle. After reacting to his viral Move Ya Body collaboration with Marc Rebillet, Harry sums up the episode in a freestyle so fast it outpaces the studio’s wi-fi.

HARRY HARRY HARRY The freestyle at the end the flows are off the chain!!!!! This is what we need in a song from you!!!!
To this day I hold that the first Mark/Mack collab was the greatest pure freestyle music collab of all time. I still go back to that stream just to rewatch segments and watch the chat freak out, just so good.

I agree.
Episode 11 already? This guy is the most underrated KZreadr. His work ethic is impeccable. He deserves an award for being the most dedicated KZreadr. And a "best freestyler" trophy handed to him by Eminem and juice WRLD (of course juice would have to be 3D animated) but that's the recognition he deserves.
The closing freestyle was filthy 🔥🔥🔥
I’m on the same page as you (no pun intended lol) when it comes to bookstores. Reading books is one of my favorite hobbies. I love reading fictional crime novels and series (Jack Reacher, Alex Cross just to name a couple)!! Like you Harry, I also prefer going to the bookstore either knowing what I want or just browsing for the unknown adventure it gives my brain. Also the smell inside the bookstore like you said lol, totally agree!! Absolutely love your podcast!!! Btw that freestyle at the end:🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🏿👍🏿💯🐐 Honestly WTF?!!!! I had to keep rewinding just to make sure I wasn’t imagining this GOD TIER GREATNESS!!! Omg Harry Mack the 🐐 with some Serious 🐐 activities with that ending freestyle!!!!
"My eyes imma close em because in this moment full flow state is chosen" WOW
I have been using a bullet journal for the last two years+. It has evolved and changed so much. From a scheduler, planner, and journal down to a daily check in, habit tracker, and gratitude tracker. I had started and quit so many times. I have accepted my use of it and use when I need it, which has turned into almost daily. I am going to start carrying a pocket journal for random thoughts. Opening a journal over my phone.
the freestyle at the end is IN-CRE-DI-BLE OMG WTF DUUUUUUDE!!
Cool to hear this, Harry. I really like the idea of journaling. I want to get out of the habit of automatically going to Instagram. Thanks for the inspiration!
I think an underrated superpower of HMack is to summarize information coherently and concisely no matter the topic or how many things were brought up in the conversation. The end of pod freestyles are so crazy not just because they’re sick freestyles, but they’re also perfect summaries of the episode. Amazing! 🤯👏🔥
The last freestyle is in another level ❤
Your focus on the lyrics, coherency and the meaning behind your lyrics, the depth, is exactly what sets you apart from EVERYONE else. And the pace at which you deliver your thoughts on the spot is truly remarkable and a great sight to see. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. You are a wonderful human being , Mack. Lots of love
Another great episode! Marc lives in LA now, how have we not gotten a part 2 for that stream!? Literally one of the best from the both of them!

The freestyle could be a whole song by itself. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im so happy you made a podcast Harry! Ive been waiting forever and I knew you could always do this. You make it look easy and its a pleasure to listen to your rants. You have a great POV and its refreshing to see someone who is naturally genuine. Just know that you have a huge following that believes in you, and you will never go wrong being yourself on your platform. Honest and genuine. Keep it up bro! We will continue to tune in!
otherworldly flow and rap...As always :)
Ive worked in wireless sales for 6 years, I ALWAYS ask people if they use authenticators on their phone for that reason, it can be a paaaaain. Glad you got back in!
He said if he close is eyes. It’s over. lol he snappppooeeeddddd !!!!

I used to start my day by scrolling through various science articles (for the layperson, yet well written enough to be useful maybe). I should start doing that again I think. These phones can be amazing portals of knowledge or just massive time sinks that seem to de-evolve my brain. And I can only blame myself if the latter occurs.
Keep shining HMack! Make the whole world smile!
Awesome… Just freakin awesome… I remember watching the Mack And Marc livestream live and was just absolutely loosing my shit. I’ve watched it countless times since, never gets old, always makes me smile just an absolutely epic collaboration. Probably the best thing on KZread (in my humble opinion) 🤩 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would listen the freestyle rap at the end a millions again. Please release that separately. What great unbelievable creativity was that bro?
I love not having any social apps. (except KZread) I dropped all of them a couple of years ago. And I don't miss it at all. 😊 The funny thing is that I've noticed. It freaks some people out, when I tell them I'm not on any platform anymore. 😂😂😂
Mack is certifiable insane Jesus that was mental
Always glad to see new vids com out ! i enjoy the podcast !
Always insane with the beat,, we should be getting of this kind of freestyle daily to reduce anxiety in the world 😁😁❤️
Rite in the rain pocket notebooks are king. THe first thing I write in any notebook is "I will not be precious about writing in this notebook."
Dude Harry! Love your stuff! For a great EASY way to break the social media habit, just delete the apps! Go through a mobile browser. It sucks and the algorithm is much worse, which will automatically weaken its hold on you! Cheers man, keep up the GOOD WORK ❤
That Beardyman freestyle was intense - I remember exactly the one you were referring to because your face started turning purple. 🟣 I thought you were going to pass out and die from lack of oxygen! 😮
Ay Harry bro appreciate you releasing this episode and think it's an episode that a lot of young people need to hear, I've recently turned my phone into a bit of a dumbphone, just basic stuff like maps, banking, camera, music, etc. but think so many more people need to know it's out there since social media takes up so many years of people's lives now, but yeah love the positivity bro and spreading what people need to hear!
Absolutely love Harry Mack and these podcasts have all been incredible. Find so much wisdom from each episode and great book recommendations 🔥🎶📖
F it I’m joining ya! Dumb phone crew😎
That Casino warehouse was disgussed by Tristan Harris in depth- he's the one behind that Documentary BTW, a perfect companion piece to this episode.
Youre so awesome Harry Mack.
Since comments are free... Brian Koppelman interviewed Julia Cameron on his podcast in July 2020 and i always remembered it Brian said (she) changed his life.
54:29 James Brown? Damn you must've been going nuts freestyling for Al Sharpton and getting his compliments!
Harry, just saying, had about two or three moments of synergy during this. The outsider is sitting on my desk, right beside my dumb phone. Absolutely love you bro
I just had the same reaction those guys on omegle had when they saw Harry, cause Mr Mack going crazy with this camera quality.
Harry Mack in da house 🥳
That end freestyle!!! And this is from mid March?!
Harry macavelli the Legend!
“Move your body” was when I really starting digging H Mack back in the day because it was so embodied and raw.
Yo, Those James Brown Bars went hard!
First topic was very interesting, i completely agree with Harry, i also had the same thinking in a sense of just removing social media apps and turning off wifi, bleutooth etc, but now i realized its just a tool and its quite handy, but i still try to stay away from things like facebook and shorts
Great book on this topic - "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport
Harry reacting to move your body 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Solo eps are so dope!
Let's go love ya Harry mack
Shoutouts to Eyedea, that man's music made me think a lot about important things. The first time you responded to a word of mine was wordplay wednesday i think #3, someone said something about Eyedea and I only noticed when you spit somethin about him. Then I was like "EYEDEA

Man... I wish we could see you watch the entire session with Marc Rebillet, and discuss the insane energy, creativity, and just superb chemistry between you both. It still blows me away. ✌🏼Great episode
Harry Mack the Monk. Love the concepts here he touched on, and even though he goes over them casually you can tell he lives them
Not all people would appreciate the chance of you getting your life back from all the algorithm our social media presents. If you have a chance to do this like Harry, do it. It might sound seem irrelevant but thats how this algorithm are made for. To hook a person into spending more time scrolling. Every milliseconds you spend on this platforms the bigger the data they collect and the more effective it becomes to give you more the things the algo thinks your into. I appreciate content creators that acknowledges this kind of things today in this generation.
Jim Kwik, if I remember correctly, has created his life's work as a result of being told that he had a learning disability as a child! He had to find his own way to excel in school. I attended this masterclass he gave about developing a Super Memory! And obviously, a Super Brain! I highly recommend it to anyone who's not familiar with Jim Kwik. Or really? To anyone who loves learning? ... and would love to get better at it! 😉 🙂
Lmfao okay the phone thing makes sense. At first I thought he meant not having a smart phone at all and I’m like bruh, I get lost walking outside, I need the maps. 😂
I love the idea of a practice journal. Thanks for introducing me to it. I’m really enjoying this podcast, Harry Mack. Thank you!
Hearing you speak makes me very confident to have stopped after Facebook and never started with insta and the following.
By showing us how not to be on your phone as much… in order to get better mental health and be more productive through our days… will also affect your views on Tik tok , KZread, facebook, etc… knowing that full well I’m sure , you still decided to tell and show us because you truly care more about your fans and our way of life, our mental health… you want us being more productive and help us find a balance … you choose all that over the views. You truly are good person. Thanks for always trying to help out I’m sure this video was an eye opener for many just like myself aswell.

Hello from KC much love 💗
I Always have about four notebooks going. At first i tried to keep everything in one and then just accepted that maybe I need a few more. One main one for my day sheet info and then a year planner. I love the way HM’s mind works. He’s gotta be a genius. 💖 I’ve journaled since the early 90s….. it’s just something I enjoy doing for many different reasons
Hey Harry, you brought a lot of us positivity in a dark time. I’m still somewhat stuck in the grind but actively working to make my own money and find my own way and you were a big motivation for that.
Why did Harry go that hard at the end tho

You are so inspiringgg. ❤
I have literally over a hundred composition notebooks, all of which are either unfinished or have pages torn out of them etc. That I tried to do as you say "make a perfect notebook". Majority for hobby related things....I even at one point went and pre-numbered front and back all the pages and left a page in the front for a "table of contents" and was like "okay this will keep me from messing up, or using a random page in the middle to write down something unrelated, etc." but alas I got to probably like 20ish pages in before messing that one up lol. Done highlighters, having multiple different color pens to write with and all other sorts of methods to try and keep it "perfect"" but it never works haha.

Marc and Mack = 🔥
😂I get you completely, I installed this app for timing your screen time, going into each app. Like KZread? 2hrs a day; Whatsapp I have 3hrs 30min etc? And right of the bat? Epic fail! Cause as I was running out of time? I was notified. I was also able to add time... or turn it off completely! So if I was watching something... I first added time 🫣.... and then I inevitably would turn it off for the day if I was still watching something, and I was into seeing the end! I obviously promised that I would just watch to the end of the specific content? 🙄 As I said? Epic Fail! 😂🤣🤣.

Good on you Harry Mack! Your content always elevates me! ❤ I have one request.. I’m a bit of a “Hip-Hop Head”.. I’d like to see you incorporate more of the elements. Both in your writtens, and the cast. Where’s the breakers? Who’s got some graffiti game? Where’s the turntablism? You got the lyricism and the knowledge, but I’d like to see the whole package. If there’s anybody who could make that happen, it’s you! Let’s gooo!
Wish I could hire a team to manage my social media, too. 😉
Mack's first ever take two! 😂
Its funny how many times Harry touching the Mic... I want him to talk about that psychology
I've heard you mention Eyedea a few times in passing as you list off inspiration, so it was great to hear you expand a little more about him and that you saw him live at show(s) and what that was like! Eyedea, back in 2000 via the Blaze Battle, was my gateway to underground hip-hop. He was always the #1 freestyler by a long shot, until HMack came along.

Saying that mack was copying him by asking for 3 words??? That's absolutely pathetic, I literally remember people in the UK doing that kind of thing decades ago but he's acting like it's his thing which no one else should be doing 😂😂😂 now that Harry has gained so much recognition he has no choice but to jump on the bandwagon because he knew people were turning against him for being so bitter.

@jazgee602 I'm pretty sure SuperNat has been around and did that before the UK lol. He was the pioneer in that. A legend in freestyle. As for gate-keeping the 3 word routine, yeah, he was bitter for sure that Mac was doing it and took it further, but I think he got over it. Rap is competitive, especially old-school. So of course he probably saw Mac as competition

I gave up Facebook 6 years ago, when I realised it was controlling me. I never look back and I dont miss it. Life is better for it.
