00:02:06.840 the other one, yeah, don't, all right, without that being said, let's get into this, man,

00:02:12.460 number one, Andy, it's no secret that you like cars, you're a car guy, and I had no 0.99

00:02:18.320 idea what the fuck car guy even meant, like, I'm thinking, okay, fucking Mr. Beast is and 0.99

00:02:22.300 shit, right, you're a car guy, what made you get into cars, and with all the vehicles you 0.99

00:02:29.200 have right now, what would you say your favorite one is? 0.99

00:02:30.900 You know, dude, when I was a kid, I had Hot Wheels and Micro Machines, all right, and that

00:02:39.820 was, like, the main thing I played with as a kid, we had, like, the orange racetracks, and, you know, 0.82

00:02:44.900 a lot of people, yeah, yeah, yeah, the ones you got your ass beat with, you know what I'm saying,

00:02:48.860 and they're, they, once, see, you could kind of track the, the, the downfall of society, 0.74

00:02:54.920 uh, to the direct point of when orange racetracks, uh, were taken, like, somewhere 0.93

00:03:00.500 else, because when they were popular, parents used them to whoop ass, and the whole problem 0.95

00:03:06.040 with society is that we need to bring back the orange racetracks, no shit, every household 1.00

00:03:09.960 should fucking have a set of this shit, okay, because I got my ass whipped with them, and 1.00

00:03:13.640 anybody that knows about an ass whipping with a fucking orange racetrack, you, you know what 1.00

00:03:19.560 not to do again, yeah, all right, and, and the whole problem in this country, I'm being 0.99

00:03:23.560 serious, is that people don't fucking discipline their kids, 100%, to start with, right, so 1.00

00:03:27.940 get yourself some racetracks, and fuck, get to work, I'm kidding, Jesus, you guys are 1.00

00:03:33.400 going to freak the fuck out, I'm going to have my own a day, yeah, but think about it, yeah, 1.00

00:03:38.880 you know, I'm kidding, but no, anyway, the point is, uh, I always love cars, because that's

00:03:45.100 what I played with, um, when I was like, I don't know, when I was probably seven or eight

00:03:51.400 years old, um, I saw a white Lamborghini at a gas station, it was with my dad, and I thought it

00:03:57.560 was the coolest fucking thing I ever saw in my life, uh, it was a, it was a Countach, uh, you know, 0.92

00:04:02.340 this was the 80s, yeah, and, um, it's fucking white, and I remember, like, thinking, like, dude, I'd 0.97

00:04:08.120 never seen anything like that before, uh, and just the whole thing of it, like, got my attention, 0.91

00:04:12.980 and, and, you know, I, it got me excited, I thought it was cool, and I just never grew out of

00:04:19.240 that, you know what I'm saying, so, like, um, and really, honestly, that whole experience is

00:04:25.040 really what inspired me to even become an entrepreneur anyway, this is why I get so upset 0.94

00:04:29.160 with, like, people when they say, you know, don't worry about the material shit, material shit can be 0.78

00:04:34.640 extremely powerful, because, you know, the first 10 years I was in business, um, I was in business, 0.97

00:04:41.220 so I could own some fucking cool-ass cars and shit, you know what I'm saying, so I endured a whole lot 0.64

00:04:45.800 of stuff that I wouldn't have endured just because of my passion for, for, for cars, right, and now 0.99

00:04:53.380 we have thousands of people that have careers because of that, so, like, don't ever shit on

00:04:58.160 people's material dreams, because I'm one of those people that persevered for that, you know, and then

00:05:05.600 obviously, once I achieve that goal, uh, you know, you, you find new purposes, right, and, like, my

00:05:13.240 motivations have definitely changed, like, I'm not working, I'm not doing this shit so I can get 0.63

00:05:17.060 more cars, like, I fucking got every car I can fucking, that I want, and if I don't, if I don't 0.90

00:05:21.420 have it, it's on the way, you know what I'm saying, so, like, uh, so that's, you know, as I got older, 0.92

00:05:27.760 I started to value things differently, and, but that pulled me through, like, that pulled me through

00:05:32.300 the hardest fucking time in business was those material goals, and so I, that's why I get so upset 0.94

00:05:37.340 when I see people shit on people's material goals, like, I think, no matter what they are, like, I think 0.98

00:05:41.600 it's fucking wrong, you know, because a lot of good shit can come from a desire, a materialistic 0.98

00:05:46.700 desire, and then what happens is, uh, you know, you get to a certain point, and you start to have 0.98

00:05:51.400 people around you, and you start to realize that, like, you actually make more money when you pour

00:05:55.500 into those people, and, uh, and do the right thing, and, like, instead of looking at it, like, I want to

00:06:00.560 get this, you start looking at it, it's like, I want to create this, and build this, and it becomes a

00:06:04.260 totally different thing, like, now I get way more satisfaction, I've seen my people build careers,

00:06:10.260 and buy houses, and build their own lives, and shit, and I would for myself, yeah, and so, you

00:06:15.020 know, that all changes, but that's how I got into cars, you know, and, uh, I'm still into them,

00:06:20.740 I don't post them quite as much as I used to, just, uh, I'm gonna get back into that, as everybody

00:06:27.080 knows, you know, just built a nice garage, it's, uh, pretty insane, yeah, um, I don't really know a

00:06:33.480 word to describe it, yeah, I mean, there's nothing like it, no, you know what I'm saying, I mean,

00:06:36.760 there's other fucking awesome garages, but there's nothing like that, no, and, uh, you 0.82

00:06:41.760 know, and, and, and, you know, I've, I've, I've been fortunate enough to own, I didn't 0.74

00:06:45.320 even, bro, I didn't even, I couldn't even tell you how many cars I've had at this point

00:06:49.480 in time, because I've, I've cycled in and out of so many different cars, but, uh, I've

00:06:53.540 had the opportunity to drive and experience just about everything out there, um, and still

00:06:58.820 my favorite car is my 1970 Chevelle, you know, I got a 1970 Chevelle SS, um, it's a 454 SS,

00:07:07.280 uh, legit LS6 coupe, uh, black with white stripes, um, original LS6 that we actually tore apart

00:07:15.380 completely and put an Art Morrison frame underneath it and, and, uh, you know, new modern suspension 0.85

00:07:21.660 and fucking modern brakes and all the good shit, 454 LSX, uh, it's nasty, it's Whipple 0.88

00:07:28.580 supercharged, it puts out, you know, somewhere around 800 of the tires, how we have it tuned, 0.99

00:07:33.300 it'll do up to 1200, um, and I fucking love that car, bro, like, it's badass, like, I don't, 0.98

00:07:41.160 like, it's nasty, yeah, it's fucking, like, and it's eternally fucking cool to me, like, that's 0.98

00:07:46.540 what I think is cool, like, I've got all the shit, right, like, I have all the, I have all 0.99

00:07:50.700 the big cars and the shit that people get wowed over or whatever, but, like, dude, to 0.99

00:07:54.460 be honest, um, at my heart, like, I'm just a simple dude, like, I fucking love that car 0.98

00:08:01.100 and I'd be totally happy with just that car, um, now I do love all the other shit and I'm 0.95

00:08:05.860 going to continue to experience that, but, you know, if I only had that car, I'd be happy 0.93

00:08:10.640 as fuck because it's badass, so that's my, that's my favorite car, uh, I don't think that's

00:08:15.720 the answer people expect when they ask me that, they want me to say something like, you 0.99

00:08:19.700 know, one of these crazy, well, I know what my fucking favorite car is, you know what 0.99

00:08:22.580 my favorite car is, the Aston, no, I actually, no, the DBS, no, it's the fucking, it's the 0.99

00:08:28.340 A12, bro, oh, it is, that A12 is just, which one, the super fast, the coupe or the, or the 0.97

00:08:34.100 convertible, the coupe, okay, yeah, because I got the, it's fucking nasty, yeah, it's cool,

00:08:39.500 I do love that, like, that's going to be my first car, like, I want that to be my first 0.92

00:08:42.200 super car, right, is it, A12, no, it's the DBS, oh, yeah, DBS is fucking love it, 0.95

00:08:46.280 yeah, but that fucking A12 is disgusting, A12 is a lot more raw, yeah, like, it's a 0.94

00:08:50.380 completely different experience, well, and that's what, that's what I was saying, like, 0.99

00:08:52.940 at the beginning of this question, like, I, I didn't, I didn't even understand, I think,

00:08:55.780 I don't even know if most people understand, like, when you say you're a car guy, or you're

00:08:59.540 a car girl, you're a car person, like, there's, it's a difference, oh, people, yeah, no, most

00:09:03.420 people don't understand, they think it's a, uh, they think it's like, all right, get

00:09:06.760 it, bro, you got, you like cars, no, that's right, they think it's, it's like, oh, you 0.98

00:09:09.380 got a bunch of cars, and you fucking, yeah, you know, you think you're the 1.00

00:09:12.200 shit, no, that's, that's only part of it, you're not wrong, yeah, that's, that's only 1.00

00:09:17.880 part of it, there's a lot, but it's so, it's so deep, there's a whole lot more to it, yeah, 0.97

00:09:21.220 it's so deep, like, there's a lot more to it, you know, and, and, and people who aren't

00:09:24.900 into cars can't possibly understand that, but, like, you know, every car has a different

00:09:29.260 experience, um, you know, some cars are more refined, some cars are more raw, some are all-wheel

00:09:35.760 drive, some are rear-wheel drive, some have, you know, a V8, some have V10, some have V6,

00:09:40.280 some have V12, like, some are twin turbo, some are supercharged, some are fucking naturally

00:09:44.740 aspirated, I mean, every single one of those elements creates a completely different driving

00:09:49.760 experience, and so, like, you know, if you're a real driver, and you understand that, it

00:09:54.960 makes sense to have, you know, all the best experiences, yeah, so, like, that's, that's

00:10:01.300 what, what I see when I look at those cars is individual experiences, you know, and other

00:10:06.120 people see it as, like, uh, uh, you, like, they see a car collector, and there is different 0.97

00:10:11.460 kinds of car collectors, like, there's car collectors that don't drive their shit, and 1.00

00:10:15.200 there is guys that just have the shit to, to show their dick, right, yeah, right, and 0.99

00:10:20.940 there's those guys, but, but honestly, those guys are so few and far between, because they 0.99

00:10:25.420 get tired of it, the real enthusiasts, like, the guys who are in it for, you know, when they're

00:10:30.680 70, they're still doing the car shit, those guys love cars, like, it's a love thing, and

00:10:36.040 like, you know, people are like, why don't you like Tesla, because, like, dude, it's, 0.88

00:10:40.420 it's totally, there's no driving experience with a Tesla, and, and, like, oh, have you

00:10:45.200 ever driven one?

00:10:45.800 Yeah, I've driven them all, like, dude, like, they're fucking boring, are they fast in a 0.98

00:10:50.080 fucking straight line? 0.97

00:10:50.740 Yeah, that's cool, show your friends three times, then what? 0.99

00:10:54.580 Yeah, go charge it up.

00:10:55.980 I'm just saying, that's, you get tired of the same thing, it's like a fast golf cart.

00:11:00.700 It's just not exciting to me, and, like, yes, I can appreciate the acceleration, I can

00:11:05.020 appreciate that, I can appreciate the whole idea of it and everything, but it's just still

00:11:08.740 not a real car to me, in that way. 0.95

00:11:11.640 The experience is the fucking smell of the gas, the experience is the rumble, right? 1.00

00:11:16.540 Yeah, bro, that shit, the sound, like, the feel, like, there's so much that goes into 1.00

00:11:20.920 it, and people just, they don't understand it, so they criticize it, just like most things. 1.00

00:11:27.120 Yeah.

00:11:27.520 So.

00:11:28.020 No, I get that.

00:11:28.720 Yeah. 0.98

00:11:29.120 That's fucking awesome. 0.81

00:11:29.720 But, I mean, dude, like, when I get my house in Florida, like, I'm going to get a house 0.96

00:11:32.860 in Florida here pretty soon, and probably a house in Park City, too, those are two places

00:11:37.300 I'm going to have homes, I want to build a, well, I can't talk about it, because it's 0.64

00:11:42.980 going to be super innovative, but, anyhow, I got a project that I want to do that's fucking

00:11:48.380 huge, but my plan is, like, when I get a house in Florida, I'm going to build another

00:11:52.100 garage.

00:11:52.700 Yeah.

00:11:52.860 Like, I'm going to build, like, I enjoyed the process, well, I hated the process.

00:11:56.420 I'm going to say, well, hold on, bro.

00:11:57.480 No, no, no, no.

00:11:58.500 The actual process of it.

00:12:00.260 Let's fact check that real quick.

00:12:00.920 Yeah.

00:12:01.260 I, it was, it sucked, but only because I was living at the property as it was happening.

00:12:06.140 Yeah, that's good.

00:12:06.560 You know what I'm saying?

00:12:07.120 That's a good point.

00:12:07.720 You just get tired of seeing, and it wasn't that the guys there, they were great dudes,

00:12:12.700 everybody, like, all fucking super friendly, hard worker, like, great good dudes.

00:12:17.820 You guys. 0.99

00:12:18.140 But, bro, you just get tired of seeing people in your fucking yard. 1.00

00:12:20.280 No, especially at seven in the fucking morning. 1.00

00:12:22.240 Yeah, bro. 0.99

00:12:22.580 And, like, you guys know how construction guys work.

00:12:24.140 Yeah, that's all it was.

00:12:24.900 It showed up early, leave, late.

00:12:25.600 It'd be, like, so if I lived in a different spot, and they were working on it while I wasn't

00:12:29.220 there, it would be a different thing.

00:12:30.920 I would have enjoyed the process more.

00:12:32.780 Yeah.

00:12:33.000 But anybody who's had construction done while you're living on the property, you understand

00:12:37.140 what that's like.

00:12:37.720 Yeah. 1.00

00:12:37.940 It fucking sucks. 1.00

00:12:38.740 Yeah. 1.00

00:12:38.880 And we had a lot.

00:12:39.640 We had, like, two years worth straight.

00:12:41.320 Yeah. 0.99

00:12:41.500 So, you know, I'm going to get into some more shit, building-wise, even though I know I 0.97

00:12:49.380 told you I would never do it again. 0.98

00:12:50.860 Yeah.

00:12:51.320 But, you know, it's cool.

00:12:53.940 And there's, you know, I met some really great friends through cars.

00:12:57.160 Like, I have some of my best friends and best business allies and mentors to me who teach 0.93

00:13:04.120 me shit are just car guys that are bigger than me. 0.96

00:13:07.960 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

00:13:08.760 And so, like, it's a great network to plug into because you meet so many people that

00:13:13.300 are success-minded.

00:13:14.820 You know, yeah, it turns a couple people off, but the benefits on the upside are huge, you

00:13:19.780 know?

00:13:20.060 So, like, when I got my first exotic car, I was real scared about, like, what people

00:13:24.640 would think of it.

00:13:25.580 I had a Lamborghini for 12 months before I even knew, before anyone even knew I had it

00:13:30.320 besides my brother.

00:13:31.120 Really? 0.99

00:13:32.200 That's a long fucking time. 0.99

00:13:33.340 Yeah. 0.99

00:13:33.840 Yeah.

00:13:34.060 And I got caught driving it by one of my employees.

00:13:37.340 Yeah.

00:13:38.760 Like, I was out and he saw it.

00:13:40.680 He's like, is that your...

00:13:41.340 And I had to, like, be like, yeah.

00:13:43.260 And then, like, you know, it got out.

00:13:45.040 But, you know, I was nervous what people would think. 0.98

00:13:49.800 But the truth is, is like, I don't want anybody working for me that doesn't want a fucking 1.00

00:13:53.480 Lamborghini or a fucking Ferrari or a fucking big life. 1.00

00:13:56.820 Yeah. 1.00

00:13:56.980 Like, if that's not... 0.99

00:13:57.800 Like, if you don't want some big shit for yourself, I don't even fucking want you on 0.99

00:14:00.200 my team. 1.00

00:14:00.860 Yeah.

00:14:01.060 So, I learned that, you know what I'm saying?

00:14:02.820 So, now I, you know, people ask, well, how do you deal with this and that? 0.97

00:14:06.120 Well, if they don't have the aspirations to have that and they're going to fucking think 0.97

00:14:08.700 negatively of me for heaven, then I don't fucking want them here anyway. 0.97

00:14:11.060 Yeah. 0.97

00:14:11.560 So, you know, that's how I deal with it.

00:14:14.480 Yeah.

00:14:14.660 Like, bro, everywhere I go, I have little kids run up to the cars and, you know, parents

00:14:29.440 come up and, you know, ask questions and, you know, ask what I do.

00:14:34.460 And the kids, you know, the parents will tell the kids.

00:14:36.900 You see yourself there.

00:14:37.920 Yeah, bro, for sure.

00:14:38.740 Yeah.

00:14:38.840 But, like, it's cool because, like, sometimes the kids are, like, 10, 11 years old. 0.83

00:14:42.420 So, they're starting to understand shit and they're like, well, what do you do? 0.97

00:14:45.520 And I'm saying, well, I'm going to own a business. 0.99

00:14:47.020 I'm saying, well, what do you, what kind of business?

00:14:48.620 Yeah.

00:14:48.860 And I tell them and they said, man, you know, and you could see them, like, start to turn

00:14:52.960 the wheels.

00:14:53.620 Yep. 0.99

00:14:53.960 And I always tell them, like, look, dude, if you work hard, if you build some shit, because 0.99

00:14:57.200 that's what my dad told me back in that first experience. 0.98

00:14:59.800 Like, when I saw that Lamborghini, my dad's immediate response to that was, well, if you work

00:15:05.460 really hard, you know, you could have that stuff.

00:15:08.240 You know what I mean?

00:15:08.920 Which is the opposite of what I think most parents say.

00:15:11.400 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:15:12.020 Most parents be like, oh, that guy's a dick. 1.00

00:15:13.400 Yeah, right. 1.00

00:15:13.780 Or that guy's screwing people or some bullshit, you know? 0.99

00:15:16.760 So, you got to be careful. 0.99

00:15:17.340 It's the whole idea of how wealth happened.

00:15:18.400 Yeah.

00:15:18.800 Because I was eight years old, bro, and I still remember that.

00:15:21.000 And, like, that one interaction, I think, changed the whole entire direction of my entire

00:15:25.760 life.

00:15:26.200 Yeah.

00:15:26.720 You know what I'm saying?

00:15:27.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:15:27.980 And as stupid as it was a five-minute ordeal, right? 1.00

00:15:30.980 Like, so, people should think about that. 1.00

00:15:33.600 Yeah.

00:15:34.160 You know? 0.98

00:15:34.700 That's fucking awesome. 0.93

00:15:35.880 So, but yeah, dude, I love cars, bro. 0.99

00:15:37.880 I got some sick shit on the way, too. 0.99

00:15:39.660 But don't ask, because I ain't telling them. 0.99

00:15:41.000 All right.

00:15:43.980 Question number two.

00:15:46.080 So, Andy, what's the most important thing that I should understand moving my business

00:15:53.060 from a solopreneurship to actually having employees?

00:15:57.100 Well, the most important thing that you need to understand is that you won't get very far

00:16:03.260 by yourself.

00:16:05.080 I mean, so you already understand the most important thing.

00:16:08.180 Right.

00:16:08.340 Most important thing is you can only go so far alone.

00:16:11.760 That's just reality.

00:16:12.620 And the second most important thing that I would say, besides that obvious fact, which

00:16:18.680 this person seems to have already realized, is that, you know, it's going to be one of

00:16:22.760 the hardest things that you do.

00:16:24.200 Like, even at 23 years in this business, my hardest part of my job is managing personalities.

00:16:29.360 So, you have to take it serious.

00:16:33.120 You have to look into, you know, read and talk and, you know, try to educate yourself through

00:16:40.420 all the different ways to educate.

00:16:41.960 You know, learning from people who have done it is the best way.

00:16:46.200 But there's plenty of books on management and leading and building teams and building

00:16:50.880 culture and all these things out there.

00:16:53.120 And you should become a student of that for the rest of your life.

00:16:55.980 Because I didn't take that serious when I first started.

00:17:00.440 Like, I didn't understand what it meant to have employees. 0.98

00:17:04.160 And what it really means is that you're responsible for these people's fucking future. 0.98

00:17:07.960 Okay. 0.98

00:17:08.400 And there's two kinds of entrepreneurs.

00:17:10.420 There's entrepreneurs that see their employees as a way to make more money.

00:17:14.800 And then there's entrepreneurs that actually see it as a responsibility to help build these

00:17:20.300 people's careers.

00:17:21.460 And that group always is far more successful than the first group.

00:17:25.820 The first group, they constantly cycle through employees.

00:17:29.840 People understand that they're a cog at those organizations, that they can be replaced,

00:17:33.440 that, and the other.

00:17:34.660 We're over here in a situation where you're actually taking responsibility, a more active

00:17:40.560 responsibility in building the careers for your people.

00:17:42.840 They understand that.

00:17:44.080 And so what they do is they come and they start to understand, like, okay, I'm safe here.

00:17:48.940 These dudes work with me.

00:17:50.060 They care about me. 0.98

00:17:50.760 They want to fucking see me progress. 0.98

00:17:52.300 And that's when you're going to get your best out of people, right? 0.98

00:17:55.020 So if you care about them, they're going to care about you.

00:17:57.800 If you don't care about them and you just fake care about them, they're going to know

00:18:00.900 that your fake care about them.

00:18:01.940 And they're not going to do what they would normally do.

00:18:04.320 And you're going to spend your life chasing your tail instead of just pouring into people.

00:18:08.720 And I think the other thing, too, to mention is, like, you're now a personal life coach

00:18:14.200 for these people.

00:18:15.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:15.960 Therapist. 1.00

00:18:16.460 You're a fucking... 1.00

00:18:16.680 Sort of. 1.00

00:18:17.340 Yeah.

00:18:17.680 Like, I don't want to...

00:18:18.580 Listen. 1.00

00:18:19.420 I'm to the point now where I'm not trying to hear your personal shit. 0.99

00:18:22.600 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

00:18:23.580 But in the beginning, when it's just you and fucking a few other people, it's part 0.99

00:18:27.740 of it. 0.99

00:18:28.240 Yeah.

00:18:28.520 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

00:18:29.020 And I do care about people's personal shit. 0.99

00:18:31.780 But at this point in time, I've come to a place where it's not... 0.99

00:18:35.700 I can't personally afford to pour my time unless it's, like, a dire scenario.

00:18:41.960 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:42.460 You've seen me get involved in those.

00:18:43.680 Yeah. 0.94

00:18:44.260 But, like, the cool thing about building a culture that gives a fuck about each other

00:18:48.360 is that when people start to have problems now, other people in the company will step 0.98

00:18:52.920 in and fucking help them work through. 0.99

00:18:54.540 And it's a beautiful thing because it's a true community of people that give a fuck. 1.00

00:18:59.200 And, you know, when people give a fuck, you can accomplish a whole bunch of good shit. 1.00

00:19:03.760 Yeah. 1.00

00:19:03.880 When people don't give a fuck, you're going to have a hell of a time getting them to accomplish 0.99

00:19:06.940 anything good. 0.98

00:19:07.960 So, you know, care.

00:19:09.800 Yeah.

00:19:10.140 Like, actually care about your people.

00:19:11.480 And take a serious...

00:19:13.480 Take the responsibility of their future seriously.

00:19:18.360 You know, you should want to create a company that provides for them in the way that they

00:19:22.480 wish to be provided for.

00:19:24.000 That's the obligation of being on this team as a company.

00:19:27.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:27.900 Yeah.

00:19:28.280 So, like, how I see my obligation is, okay, like, yeah, I understand I've got to actually

00:19:33.600 run the company, but I also have an obligation to build the company into the type of company

00:19:38.660 that can provide those kinds of careers, you know, which we're doing.

00:19:41.820 Right.

00:19:42.180 You know?

00:19:42.580 And people say, well, what's your secret there? 1.00

00:19:44.920 Well, all that shit. 1.00

00:19:46.600 Yeah. 1.00

00:19:46.920 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:47.440 Like, I care.

00:19:48.360 Yeah, right.

00:19:49.280 And most people don't.

00:19:50.740 Yeah.

00:19:50.920 So, I think that's the hallmark difference between really great companies and companies

00:19:58.260 that win versus companies that don't.

00:20:01.480 You know? 0.99

00:20:01.900 That's fucking awesome. 0.96

00:20:02.520 And if companies were great and you see their downfall and you see them fall down, it's 0.98

00:20:07.400 going to be because of what I just said.

00:20:09.300 Yeah.

00:20:09.700 They get too big to where the point, they stop caring about their people and their people

00:20:12.780 stop caring about them. 0.98

00:20:13.600 And that's why I know that some of these bigger, iconic companies are ready to get their ass 0.99

00:20:18.280 beat by somebody like me. 0.98

00:20:19.980 You know what I'm saying?

00:20:20.420 They're not even looking at you. 0.99

00:20:21.120 No, they don't fucking care. 1.00

00:20:22.000 They're fucking, they're management. 0.99

00:20:23.920 Bro, there's never been a better opportunity for brands that are like my size and, you know, 0.99

00:20:29.320 a lot of my friends that are doing things.

00:20:31.600 Like, the next generation of big brands is out there. 0.94

00:20:34.600 Like, these big dudes ain't going to fucking last forever. 0.96

00:20:37.240 They don't care. 0.98

00:20:38.500 It's multi-generational ownership.

00:20:40.140 It's stockholders. 1.00

00:20:41.040 It's fucking headhunters. 1.00

00:20:42.480 People that don't give a fuck about the company, about the customer, about the company, about 1.00

00:20:46.780 anything other than X's and O's. 1.00

00:20:48.540 And bro, that shit gets old. 0.99

00:20:50.080 People are done with that. 1.00

00:20:51.420 So, I'm going to use it to our advantage.

00:20:54.520 As you should.

00:20:55.220 Yeah.

00:20:55.380 All right.

00:20:57.120 Our third and final question, okay?

00:20:59.480 This comes from an employee, okay?

00:21:02.520 They say, as an employee, what's the best way to tell my boss that I want to move on?

00:21:07.920 There's no hard feelings, right?

00:21:10.140 I just want more.

00:21:11.880 I feel like this has to be a young person because we see this a lot with young people.

00:21:15.240 Yeah.

00:21:15.620 But as the employee, what advice do you have for them to have that conversation with them?

00:21:19.740 Well, I mean, I think that's a normal part of business. 0.74

00:21:22.080 I think any normal CEO or boss or owner, whatever the fuck you want to call them, should be comfortable 0.97

00:21:28.060 having that conversation. 0.97

00:21:29.880 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:30.500 I mean, most, you know, unfortunately, like I said in the previous question, most people 0.95

00:21:36.500 don't value their people enough to really give a fuck about their future. 0.95

00:21:39.820 Yeah. 0.98

00:21:40.080 So, like, they get real pissed off when people quit.

00:21:42.160 Yeah.

00:21:42.680 The truth is, is like, if you've poured into someone and you've built someone and you've 0.66

00:21:46.140 taught them skills and you've taught them shit, one of the most rewarding things is, is when 0.96

00:21:49.420 they go out and succeed. 0.99

00:21:50.900 Most of the time, those people will come back anyway.

00:21:53.000 You know, they'll be friends of yours.

00:21:54.300 They'll be advocates of your company.

00:21:56.160 Um, and so I don't think it's a really good idea to try to limit people or give them a

00:22:00.180 hard time when they decide they want to go somewhere.

00:22:02.160 Yeah.

00:22:02.340 It's a better idea to support them and say, okay, well, this would be good.

00:22:05.880 This would be good.

00:22:06.520 This is what I think.

00:22:07.260 And tell them the truth. 0.98

00:22:08.000 Like, you know, it is fucking hard out there. 0.98

00:22:10.380 You know what I'm saying? 0.96

00:22:11.400 So, uh, I don't know.

00:22:14.280 I hope that everybody would be working in a company where that would be, that would be

00:22:17.780 okay.

00:22:18.280 But unfortunately it's not, you know?

00:22:20.240 Yeah.

00:22:20.440 And, and so having the conversation, you know, you probably gonna expect them to get upset

00:22:24.620 and just know in your heart that in your head that like, that's what they're doing

00:22:28.360 and just try to keep the conversation to what they, what you just said, you know, Hey, there's

00:22:33.960 no hard feelings.

00:22:34.620 And then, and then as an employee, go out and live that because like, dude, the, the

00:22:39.440 worst thing that I see people doing now, and it's been a trend for the last seven, eight

00:22:44.560 years, um, is people that complain about their old jobs. 0.96

00:22:48.240 Like if you complain about your old job, like the first motherfucking thing I do that we 0.99

00:22:53.060 do is we go look, like, go look and see what kind of shit they said about their old 1.00

00:22:57.660 job. 1.00

00:22:58.400 Right. 0.99

00:22:59.000 Because if they're going to say that shit about their old job, they're gonna say that 1.00

00:23:01.140 shit about your job. 1.00

00:23:02.120 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:03.000 Yeah.

00:23:03.360 Yeah.

00:23:03.800 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:03.980 So, you know, I think a lot of people really fuck themselves by, by bitching about shit 1.00

00:23:09.420 that they shouldn't bitch about, you know? 1.00

00:23:11.360 So when you leave and you say, Hey, no hard feelings, uh, do your best to support that

00:23:15.920 company.

00:23:16.640 You know what I'm saying?

00:23:17.540 Because then you build a reciprocal relationship that can last and then you don't burn any

00:23:21.720 bridges and you have a situation where you could possibly come back later maybe, you

00:23:25.160 know, and you have a friend and an adversary instead of, or a friend and an advocate instead

00:23:28.960 of an adversary.

00:23:29.740 Yeah.

00:23:30.220 You know?

00:23:30.780 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:31.160 So fuck man. 1.00

00:23:32.480 That's three. 1.00

00:23:33.060 Yeah.

00:23:33.220 Yeah.

00:23:33.640 That's three.

00:23:34.240 All right, guys.

00:23:36.020 Cool.

00:23:36.580 So if that brought value to you, if you liked it, if it, if it made you think, if it gave

00:23:40.160 you some good information, uh, show the show for us.

00:23:42.480 All right.

00:23:43.080 Love you guys.

00:23:43.660 Talk to you next time.

00:23:44.280 We'll see you next time.

00:23:53.540 We'll see you next time.

00:23:55.040 We'll see you next time.

00:24:06.320 We'll see you next time.
