What is up guys, this is Andy Frisella and you're listening to the show for The Realist.
00:00:22.080
Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:27.080
reality. Today, I've got a whatever day this is going to come out thunder, real talk, real
00:00:34.300
talk, whatever we're calling it. That's what I got. Okay. I'm going to talk about some stuff
00:00:38.200
and it's going to bring you some value, especially this one. And it's very short and I guarantee
00:00:44.960
you it's something you do not think about. But before I get into that, I'd like to remind
00:00:50.660
you that we have a fee on this show and the fee is not money. The fee is a deal, a value
00:00:57.540
exchange, which I am 100% all about. If I do good, if you get something out of this, if
00:01:04.320
you learn something from this, which you will, please share the show. All right. We put a
00:01:09.360
lot of money, a lot of effort, a lot of time into bringing you these things and we don't
00:01:12.560
ask for you to pay and we don't run ads and I don't do all the bullshit. All right. So
00:01:21.000
let's just keep it that way. We've been able to maintain a top five status on this podcast
00:01:26.400
for like six years with that deal. And I'm fine with that. So I really appreciate you
00:01:32.940
guys sharing it and I'll keep the show moving as long as you guys are going to keep listening
00:01:38.700
and learning and getting better because that's really ultimately what this is about. Now
00:01:42.320
today, I want to talk to you about something that you may never have thought about. All
00:01:49.700
right. There are two things that high level winners do consistently. All right. You guys
00:01:58.340
are always looking for the thing, the technique, the strategy, this, that. This is one of those
00:02:04.760
things that you will gain a lot of benefit if you just listen to me for the next few minutes
00:02:09.860
and take this shit serious. All right. I get to be around all kinds of high level championship
00:02:16.980
caliber people. Okay. I've had the pleasure of, uh, sitting down with Joe Montana and Peyton
00:02:23.800
Manning, David Goggins. Um, I could jock up, I could go on and on and on. Steve Wozniak. All
00:02:31.680
right. I've, I've sat down in rooms with these people, Tia Claire, who are the best at what
00:02:37.820
they do the best. And I've had private conversations with them. All right. I'm not talking about just
00:02:44.600
the interviews that you all might see, or you might get to see, uh, if you're a member
00:02:48.480
of the Arte syndicate, you, you don't see these conversations because I don't talk about
00:02:53.300
them. And these are the things that champions talk about behind closed doors. All right. And
00:02:58.380
I want to bring two of these points to light for you that you are probably missing. There are two
00:03:05.240
distinct qualities that championship caliber people, uh, have or skills they practice. If you
00:03:13.560
want to look at it that way, that most people don't. And I'm going to cover them real quick
00:03:18.420
here. It's not going to take a lot of time and it's self-explanatory. All right. The first thing
00:03:23.200
is this championship caliber people understand how to create momentum. They understand how to
00:03:30.040
pull themselves out of the mud, out of the shit and move themselves forward when they don't feel
00:03:36.260
like it. They understand that creating momentum is very simply, um, being able to force yourself
00:03:44.400
through some things that you don't want to do for a few days in a row. Sometimes it might be two or
00:03:50.240
three. Sometimes it might be 14 or 15 or 16 days, but once you get through that period of time,
00:03:57.320
you have now cultivated a tremendous amount of momentum and championship caliber. People
00:04:02.220
understand how to do this. They understand how to exercise their discipline to make sure that they
00:04:08.060
force themselves through the, the, the first gauntlet, so to speak, that they're going to have,
00:04:14.460
uh, to get their lives in motion. All right. And so this is something that they all understand
00:04:20.520
and all of, all of the people on that level get it. Okay. They know how to take themselves from zero
00:04:26.640
or even negative momentum and literally creep their weight and force positive momentum. Now,
00:04:33.320
if you've completed 75 hard, you understand what I'm talking about. You, one of the biggest lessons
00:04:38.960
of the live hard program is that you understand that after a certain amount of days that you've
00:04:46.040
created the momentum, the momentum didn't just come from the sky and land on you and bless you
00:04:52.080
with all this great feeling. That's not what happens. What happens is we create it through our actions
00:04:56.980
and the live hard program, one of the most valuable tools from the tens of thousands of people who've
00:05:02.980
changed their lives from it is what I'm talking about. Now they learn what to do when they get
00:05:09.260
stuck in the mud. Okay. And most people don't, most people get stuck in the mud and they stay there year
00:05:14.960
after year, after year, after year, once in a while, maybe every four or five years, they get lucky
00:05:20.260
and catch some momentum. And then they spend, you know, the next three years figuring out how the
00:05:26.120
fuck that happened was very simple. You created it. You created it because you exercise just enough
00:05:32.120
discipline to pull yourself out and get yourself going. And you're mistaking your actions to create
00:05:38.760
it as some sort of gift from the universe, which it's not. All right. So this is something that
00:05:44.540
champions all understand. They understand how to manufacture momentum. And here, the second point
00:05:51.360
I want to cover with you guys, and this is the big thing. This is the one that's hard. This is the one
00:05:57.040
that most people just aren't willing to do. And this is also what separates total domination
00:06:03.560
from fucking everything else. Okay. The second thing all these people understand
00:06:09.420
is that they understand to not fuck with their momentum. Once they've created it, they don't
00:06:17.900
intentionally do things to pull themselves off. They value the momentum. So they work to maximize it.
00:06:25.860
Okay. Most people, when they get some momentum, what they do is they celebrate. And I'm just going
00:06:33.660
to use the idea of diet and fitness here, because I think most people will understand that. What they
00:06:38.840
do is they go X amount, six days in a row or five days in a row. And they say, well, I need a reward.
00:06:45.080
Motherfucker, you're making the most fundamental mistake that could ever be made in your life.
00:06:51.980
You are killing your own momentum. You just worked six days to get your shit together. And now you're
00:07:00.540
going to go out and jump right back into that life that you left six days ago, that was making you
00:07:05.380
miserable, which made you take action anyway. It makes no logical sense if you think about it.
00:07:10.680
And champions think about this on a large scale. Okay. They will cancel trips. They will cancel
00:07:17.860
things that they are going to do because it's going to fuck with their momentum. I actually
00:07:22.320
canceled a trip for this week because I have such high momentum right now that I have to keep it
00:07:28.900
moving. I don't have a choice. I'm crushing it. My content, which you guys can notice because I've
00:07:35.200
been putting out way more regular content, my fitness. I'm the most fit I've ever been.
00:07:40.800
You don't see this, but I can tell you, I have a number of projects that have been sitting on my desk
00:07:45.180
for a lot of time that are now getting wrapped up. I'm creating momentum in all of these areas.
00:07:50.960
And so I recognize that and I value that. So I don't do things to fuck with it. And that's what
00:07:57.460
championship people do. Okay. It is the number one mistake that most people make is that when they
00:08:03.480
have momentum, they sabotage it by thinking they need to reward themselves. Listen, motherfuckers,
00:08:09.360
these people that live like you don't live, the people who aren't paying the price, like,
00:08:15.600
you know, you need to pay it. Those that's not the normal life. That's not what's going to bring
00:08:20.500
you fulfillment. That's not what's going to bring you happiness. It hasn't so far. So why do you think
00:08:24.920
it's going to, why do you keep jumping back in the old fucking pond that's covered with moss and shit
00:08:30.920
when you've just discovered this clear blue sea that you get to swim in every motherfucking day,
00:08:36.520
you feel great. Things are happening. Good momentum's happening. And what happens? You make
00:08:42.560
a decision to stop it. You go to a party and you get fucked up. You go on a trip and you eat like
00:08:49.020
fucking shit for a week. And I know this sounds harsh, right? I know you're thinking, well,
00:08:54.520
Andy, we got to live, but you have to ask yourself what kind of life you actually want to live
00:09:01.580
because you've already done this other life. You've done it for a long time and it's created
00:09:07.620
something that you know you need to move away from. So why aren't you? And why, when you do happen
00:09:14.340
to create this momentum, do you then celebrate it with things that break the momentum? It doesn't
00:09:21.300
make sense, okay? Championship people value momentum so much that they will sacrifice literally
00:09:29.900
almost every other thing in life to keep it going. And because it works, because it's valuable,
00:09:35.940
and because it's fucking powerful, okay? Now, I'm not saying you should never go on vacation.
00:09:42.480
I'm not saying you should never eat your favorite foods. That is not what I'm saying at all.
00:09:47.180
What I'm saying is, is that you should be mindful of these concepts. And if you are mindful of them,
00:09:53.380
if you're mindful that number one, we create the momentum and you know how to do it.
00:09:57.100
And number two, that championship people will ride this shit out as long as they possibly can.
00:10:02.980
And then what happens when they come off? They try to get back to it as fast as they can. I have a
00:10:08.220
rule in my life, okay, that I picked up from someone else who is a legendary champion, that I don't ever
00:10:14.860
allow myself two days or more, okay, of being off my shit anymore. I don't, like, one day, okay,
00:10:23.900
that's good, that's good. The second day, I'm like, all right, tomorrow, I'm getting right back in it,
00:10:28.780
all right? And that happens, like, once every six months or seven months, all right? It used to
00:10:34.440
happen every fucking weekend. And when I was having every fucking weekend, guess what? I was 350 pounds.
00:10:39.540
I had much less money. I was very much so unhappy with my life. I was very frustrated. I was very angry.
00:10:47.320
I was very bitter because I knew that I wasn't maximizing my potential.
00:10:54.540
When you start to understand these things, guys, and you start to understand the perspective switch,
00:10:59.800
your life will change, okay? So think about this in your life. Think about how to create the momentum
00:11:06.600
and understand that you are in control of that momentum at any given time, okay, period. No matter
00:11:13.400
what's going on, you can work through to create momentum. And number two, start being conscious of
00:11:19.380
your momentum and valuing it in a different way. Start understanding that all the great things in
00:11:24.580
your life come from this momentum that you've created and, you know, start valuing the fact of
00:11:29.660
maybe it's not a good idea to fucking stop it when you're right in the middle of it, all right? So those
00:11:34.580
are my thoughts for you today. I think you probably never heard those things before. So we deserve a
00:11:41.420
share, all right? I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. And I'll talk to you next time.
00:11:46.400
We're sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a bowl. Fuck a stove. Counted millions
00:11:51.800
in the cold. Bad bitch. Booty swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. Doesn't know. Headshot. Case closed.
