00:00:49.280 show that's the fee all right now I want to get into something and it's something I think is
00:00:56.280 important a lot of people when they think of America and they think of what's important in America
00:01:04.820 they only think of themselves they think of building a career they think of making money
00:01:11.540 they think of becoming a successful entrepreneur a successful businessman having a nice house having
00:01:17.400 a nice car raising a good family those are the things that matter to most people okay being free
00:01:24.520 to do what it is you want to do and it doesn't matter what religion you are what race you are what
00:01:30.740 country you come from this country is made for everybody to have a chance to be better okay and when
00:01:38.740 most people think of that they think when they're born here or that they come here that it's about them
00:01:44.560 it's about going out executing and winning and that's true it is about you it is about your
00:01:52.080 journey it is about building something great for you but something that's rarely talked about something
00:01:57.780 that is rarely considered is something that I literally think about every day and I think that
00:02:05.640 if you would think about it like I think about it I think it would help you stay motivated I think it
00:02:09.160 would help you stay more disciplined I think it would help you stay sharper okay those of you who
00:02:14.380 follow me you know that almost every day I post this big giant American flag it's in my gym all right
00:02:19.280 and that flag is actually as big as our first retail store that we opened back in 1999 now when I look at
00:02:26.640 that flag I'm not posting that flag for the people who've been elected in office I'm not posting that
00:02:34.620 flag for the media who seems to hate our country and hate us I'm posting that flag for the idea of
00:02:44.120 what this country could be and the idea of what this country should be and the idea of what we should
00:02:51.120 be doing to help enrich that soil that makes up this country okay I look at it different I don't see
00:03:01.120 my success and my drive and my businesses and all of these things I don't see that as a selfish quest
00:03:09.280 I don't see that as oh Andy wants to make this much dollars that's not how I look at it dude
00:03:14.880 here's how I look at it I look at it like this I look at it like this country was made for us to go out
00:03:24.980 and build amazing things this country was made for us to take care of our communities when we build
00:03:32.100 those amazing things this country requires people to go out and produce and create so that our economy
00:03:41.040 can flourish and grow and people can have careers they can buy houses they can have families okay that's the
00:03:48.420 purpose of growing a company here in America all right now when we think of you know us going out
00:03:58.020 and you think of like achieving your goals and all these things you want to do it's real easy to get
00:04:02.480 caught up into what you're going to get okay but what I want you to think about is what is your obligation
00:04:07.960 to this country what are you paying back into the system right because entrepreneurs and successful
00:04:14.680 people have a duty to build great things not just because it creates success for you not just
00:04:22.500 because it creates wealth for you but because it provides unlimited opportunities for people to come
00:04:28.340 and build their dreams within your organization because it solves real problems on the ground level
00:04:33.480 because it makes life better for other Americans I see that as an obligation and the biggest obligation
00:04:41.000 I see when I look at that flag when it comes to being an entrepreneur is and really just being a
00:04:47.160 citizen of this country if I'm being completely honest is this when I look at that flag I realize
00:04:52.060 that lots and lots and lots and lots of people have died for this country and the least that I could do
00:05:00.800 to pay them back is to go out and set a fucking example for what it means to be great in this country
00:05:09.720 and I think that's the biggest obligation that all of us have every single one of you listening
00:05:15.820 every single one of you listening right now that lives here in the United States of America
00:05:20.680 you have an obligation to build the literal best fucking life that you can it's an obligation it's a duty 0.79
00:05:30.380 it's a must do just like people serve in the military just like people are supposed to serve when it comes
00:05:37.080 to politics which a lot more regular people are getting into that's great okay but when it comes
00:05:43.040 to your daily life when it comes to building your life out when it comes to your family when it comes
00:05:49.240 to your career when it comes to how you treat people with how you live and what you stand for
00:05:53.500 you have a duty to build that out the very best you can because that's what causes real change
00:06:02.040 real change in this country will not happen until the individual changes and embraces the opportunity
00:06:08.740 that our country affords every single person that comes here and if it doesn't afford every single 0.63
00:06:14.820 person that comes here the same opportunity then we work to make that happen okay that's something that
00:06:21.800 we should all be committed to but when you guys go out there and you point your finger at all these
00:06:27.840 people who aren't doing shit and you're fucking 100 pounds overweight your business is half-assed 0.98
00:06:34.580 your career is half-assed you're half-assed than it to fucking work you're a shitty fucking family 0.97
00:06:39.720 person uh you're a shitty partner you're a shitty parent okay and you point the finger at all these 0.62
00:06:45.560 blue hair people and shit that you say you don't like guess what motherfucker you ain't any better 0.97
00:06:49.840 than them you ain't any better okay because our biggest problem in this country is not this person
00:06:58.640 or that person or these people or that people it's this it's that the people who actually believe in
00:07:06.400 america who actually believe in this country who believe that this is a country that should be could be
00:07:14.100 and will be great and inclusive to people from literally fucking everywhere getting along for the
00:07:21.300 common good those people who believe that idea those people who believe in what i call real america
00:07:27.940 okay you're leaving a lot on the motherfucking table and that unrealized potential from that group of
00:07:35.180 people is what's creating the fucking problem here all right we have a big group of people who believe in 0.93
00:07:41.240 all the things this country should stand for freedom okay doing the right thing equality of
00:07:47.500 opportunity hard work sacrifice reward kindness for your neighbor service to the country we have all
00:07:57.700 kinds of people who believe in that but those people that group is leaving so much on the fucking table 0.94
00:08:03.700 mainly because you're waiting around for someone else to come around and fix it and what we have here
00:08:09.440 is a degradation of societal values that have regressed over time to where we have become
00:08:17.800 complacent to being fucking average motherfuckers what was the last thing you did that was fucking great 0.95
00:08:24.660 how's your bank account what's your fitness look like how's your family life do you talk to your
00:08:32.340 neighbors about getting better or do you talk about the fucking football game 0.98
00:08:35.380 we have a duty to this country and to all the people who have sacrificed literally fucking
00:08:42.200 everything to be the best that we can and that's the difference people ask andy how do you stay
00:08:48.440 motivated andy how do you stay going after 23 years of business what keeps you going because i have an
00:08:54.740 obligation to keep going many people came before me including people in my family who have fucking died for 0.93
00:09:02.980 this country i have an obligation to show up i have an obligation to do the best i can do i always
00:09:10.080 execute perfectly no but i at least fucking try the hardest i can and that's our fucking problem right 0.99
00:09:16.200 now so when you sit there and you think about what it is you can do the best motherfucking thing you can
00:09:22.960 do is to start realizing the unrealized potential in yourself because it sets an example not just for your
00:09:29.460 kids not just for your spouse but it sets an example for your neighbor and when your one neighbor
00:09:34.540 catches it their neighbor catches it and when their neighbor catches it soon you got a group that's
00:09:38.640 caught it then you got a community that's caught it then you got a city that's caught it now you
00:09:42.980 got a fucking state that's caught it and after you get some states that have caught it guess what now 0.92
00:09:48.100 we've got a country that's caught it we have a culture problem in this country and the culture is
00:09:54.740 mediocrity and it's spoon fed to us from every single fucking outlet that we have available to
00:10:01.740 us to consume content, whether that be social media, whether that be traditional media,
00:10:07.600 whether it be commercials, whether it be movies, we are fed mediocrity 24 seven. Why is that?
00:10:17.520 It's because of all the shit I just told you. It's because of all the unrealized potential
00:10:22.820 that they want us to have. Because the less we realize our potential, the more they can realize
00:10:30.780 their potential. You have an obligation to be fucking great being a citizen of this country.
00:10:38.120 You have an obligation to do the best that you can. You have an obligation to be better than you
00:10:43.300 were fucking yesterday. That's the difference. So when you ask me what the difference is between
00:10:50.960 myself and how other people look at it or why I keep going or what I keep doing or what the fuck, 0.87
00:10:56.940 why I'm crazy and fanatical about this, because it's a fucking duty for me. It's a fucking obligation
00:11:02.760 for me. And I feel like a fucking bitch if I don't at least try to fulfill it. I don't want to be the
00:11:09.200 person who's laying on their bed at however many years old fucking saying, God, dude, I could have 0.95
00:11:15.060 done all these things, but I didn't. I don't want to be that person. When it's time for me to go,
00:11:22.060 I want to be the person that everybody says, fuck, dude, that guy squeezed it all out, man.
00:11:26.360 That guy fucking left it all on the field. He was a great fucking American. That's what I want to be
00:11:30.880 known as. I want to be known as a great fucking American. And every single one of you can be known
00:11:36.500 for that same motherfucking thing. Every one of you. Because it's not about how much money you make.
00:11:42.000 It's not about where you end up. It's about the example you set for everybody else around you
00:11:47.780 and what you contribute to when it comes to our American culture. So when you ask me what it is
00:11:53.220 that makes me different, nothing makes me different. It's just how I see things.
00:12:12.000 Thank you.
00:12:13.000 Thank you.
00:12:14.000 Thank you.
00:12:15.000 Thank you.
