00:00:56.820 oh what do we do here oh yeah we got a fee the fee is this uh tell people about the show okay i don't
00:01:06.540 run ads on the show i don't run ads for the show i'm not trying to waste your time here my goal with
00:01:11.660 these shows is to help you guys figure out what the reality is of becoming successful uh at winning
00:01:18.540 and whatever it is you're trying to do that's what these q and afs are about all right um so yeah
00:01:25.220 what do we got we got three good ones for you baby do we yeah let's knock them out okay all right
00:01:30.340 question number one andy if you were 19 right now and a company like 1p or s2 already existed as they
00:01:37.680 do right now would you work there or would you go start your own stuff look man that's kind of a
00:01:45.820 hard question because there's a lot of things that go into this okay and i don't want to be
00:01:49.680 discouraging anybody's dreams but i also think it's my duty to tell you about the reality of
00:01:55.800 of that path um entrepreneurship has been glorified over the last decade or so uh most people think
00:02:05.720 you know it would be cool to have a whole bunch of money and you know drive some cool cars and have
00:02:11.540 a nice house and and that stuff is really cool okay uh but there is a price to be paid that is
00:02:18.480 very steep for that life statistically seven to eight percent are actually entrepreneurs
00:02:25.300 one percent of that seven to eight percent make over seven figures a year so that's the actual data
00:02:31.880 that we're talking about here now i do not say this to be discouraging i say this because i want you
00:02:39.600 to make a right decision now not make a decision that is wrong for you now that you have to correct
00:02:45.440 later okay so i want you to understand i do nothing else okay i built these companies i have a great team
00:02:53.900 uh my team here is legitimately better than donald trump's team i can promise you that okay so these
00:03:01.440 people are skilled they are the best they are smart and i'm surrounded by lots and lots and lots of them
00:03:07.400 okay i wasn't always and the path that it's taken me to get here
00:03:15.880 is almost inexplainable if you haven't walked it i saw a post uh by chad wright yesterday i actually
00:03:26.480 shared i fucking love that guy yeah me too he's amazing did you read the post it talked about 0.58
00:03:31.240 how how people ask him how he's done all these hard things like how he ran 100 miles or 200 miles
00:03:38.900 and all this crazy shit that he's done and he can't really explain it right and that's how i feel 0.80
00:03:45.420 about business it's hard for me to explain how hard it is because no matter what i say you're not going
00:03:52.180 to understand it unless you lived it it's relative it listen i've given everything to be here okay i don't
00:03:59.280 have a family i don't have kids i don't do anything um i don't go out with my friends i don't party i
00:04:06.540 don't go on these trips you don't see me on yachts you know it it's a different kind of life and it's
00:04:12.620 just not for everybody no okay and that's what i want to say because when i try to explain how hard it
00:04:18.520 is it it's not going to do it any real service it's very very difficult and and i'm not a moron okay 0.61
00:04:26.880 um so it was hard for me and i want to say that that way because there's so many people out there
00:04:34.640 that try to tell you it's this glory uh fun amazing and it is it is but that's so little of
00:04:43.960 the equation that to just pursue something for that i think you won't make it right you got to
00:04:52.600 have a bigger purpose you have to have a bigger uh you have to have a bigger mission and what i
00:04:59.500 would say like if you're asking specifically about myself um i would not want to compete against myself
00:05:05.760 uh i'm just being completely honest um i i give everything i can to our companies i'm just getting
00:05:15.500 started okay like what we've done so far is not we're like this ain't it no like a lot of people
00:05:22.340 see right they see the life and they see the car collection and they see the success and the house
00:05:27.120 and the private travel and all these things and they think well fuck andy's made it yeah but in reality 0.69
00:05:34.720 i haven't even started and that's what people don't understand like i'm in this until the day
00:05:41.700 i die and my goal is to build iconic brands apple nike google facebook instagram okay uh chevrolet
00:05:51.500 ford like you guys laugh amazon you guys laugh when you hear me say that but that's who i compare what
00:05:57.580 i do too so when you think about it like that you have to realize people are like why are it why
00:06:03.740 you know andy you're you know you don't give yourself enough credit well compared to where i want to
00:06:09.560 be i haven't done anything yet okay and it's not about making the money for me it's about creating
00:06:16.380 something that actually changes the world and so if your goal is to get in this business because you
00:06:24.500 see what i have and you think that's cool that's you're going to get crushed and you'll probably get
00:06:30.060 crushed by somebody like me all right that's just the reality yeah um now here's what i will say
00:06:36.460 if you want to start in this industry there's a lot of obstacles that you will have that i didn't
00:06:41.640 have okay um there's supply chain issues there's ingredient shortages there's all this shit going 0.84
00:06:47.560 on in the world there is uh you know people are now you know unless you have a really good reputation
00:06:54.660 for customer experience already people are more likely to shop online um there's all kinds of things
00:07:00.680 that i did that and this is why i'm so passionate about freedom okay because a lot of the things i
00:07:08.260 was able to do are no longer available to do you see what i'm saying because our freedoms have started
00:07:14.800 to be restricted over time that's why i fight so hard for you guys just like this guy who's 19 who wants
00:07:21.640 to start and that's why i'm so aggressively pro-freedom because i want people like this to have the
00:07:27.780 opportunities that i had and if we keep going down this road you won't we have people in this
00:07:32.440 country that pay 60 taxes bro that's slavery you're working more for the government than you work for
00:07:38.120 yourself all right so and that's a whole nother issue and if you listen to cti or you listen to some
00:07:44.080 of my other shows you're going to hear a lot about that but if you are the kind of person who wants to
00:07:51.680 create and has a mission and has a goal and has a vision i say go for it but just understand like
00:08:00.260 while you do have technological advantages i didn't have you could reach more people faster
00:08:05.780 there's also things that you don't understand in the back that make this business very difficult
00:08:11.940 it's not as like cool as what we make it look to be or the frou-frou shit the gurus are selling you
00:08:16.680 yeah bro like look dude all these gurus that you guys listen to not listen where's their warehouse
00:08:23.500 where's their headquarters where are their employees where's their products where where where where where
00:08:28.300 where don't listen to anybody who ain't built real shit they're otherwise they're just repeating shit 0.92
00:08:33.840 they heard somewhere else likely for me okay and thinking that they are tricking you into thinking
00:08:40.560 they know when in reality they don't know shit all right and that's a big problem with entrepreneur 0.77
00:08:44.980 space right now so i don't want to discourage anyone bro if you're the kind of person who your
00:08:50.460 whole life you know you grew up kind of doing your own stuff like invent like like dude when i grew up
00:08:56.360 man i was always thinking about little ideas like i was always thinking like hey man i think this will
00:09:01.100 work or that will work or i was always like selling baseball cards or i was i was selling light bulbs
00:09:06.720 door to door or uh you know those little contests at school like where you sell like the meats and
00:09:11.300 cheeses i kicked everybody's ass that shit yeah okay i am gifted in a lot of ways to to i believe 0.97
00:09:20.200 this i believe i have gifts and qualities that lend itself to being an entrepreneur one of them is i
00:09:26.780 don't do well with authority at all okay so if you're one of these people and by the way i was a d
00:09:33.180 student so like you guys have to understand this if you're a student out there and you think that's
00:09:37.500 going to help you with entrepreneur it's not okay um there's just a lot to it and it's not as cool as
00:09:44.040 what people make it seem it's very fucking cool like bro i get to change people's motherfucking 0.96
00:09:48.900 lives not just from a customer standpoint like losing weight i'm talking about dude i got employees
00:09:54.400 here that now it started with me in seven dollars an hour they're living in you know seven figure homes
00:09:59.640 making fucking seven figures as an income every year like bro that is fucking changing people's 0.94
00:10:05.240 literal family tree trajectory and like dude that is something that is worth all the pain but you
00:10:12.920 don't get to experience that for 20 fucking years you know what i'm saying so like there's pros and 0.93
00:10:18.180 cons and if you can get in with a company who is aggressively growing like ours uh in every single
00:10:25.020 avenue that is committed that has ownership committed to creating an iconic company um i would say the
00:10:33.520 choice for most people and this is statistically backed is to be a good entrepreneur right get in
00:10:39.840 with a company like that learn everything you can become the most valuable person in that company and
00:10:45.660 you get to still live a somewhat normal life you know i'm saying like so there's you you need to
00:10:52.660 weigh those things and if it's something that you just think you got to do i support you in doing so
00:10:57.340 but you just have to know what you're signing up for it's not easy it's not difficult you're going to
00:11:02.160 lose a lot of relationships you're going to be alone most of the time you're going to be
00:11:06.680 it's just a different life dude that like most people think is one thing and it's really nothing
00:11:11.920 like that so i you know i'm not going to ever tell someone hey you shouldn't do that um and i hope that
00:11:20.140 people will pursue what it is they believe they need to do but you really do need to ask yourself
00:11:26.440 what you're willing to fucking pay to get where you want to go because people who are are out there 0.88
00:11:32.900 competing they ain't playing games bro this ain't a side hustle right this is what i try to tell people
00:11:38.160 backroom project yeah bro when you're trying to do five different things and you're in crypto and you
00:11:42.740 got this side hustle and that and this and this and this i will fucking destroy you if you get in my 0.99
00:11:47.920 space yeah because i'm dedicating everything and that's 20 something years of business experience
00:11:55.240 relationships uh unlimited financial investment opportunity out of my own pocket into my own
00:12:01.960 brands like you are fighting a battle that legitimately is going to be really fucking hard to win 0.96
00:12:07.520 so um yeah that's my take man think about it yeah like i just think i think people should really
00:12:15.480 think about what they want from their life like if you want a family and you want to be a little
00:12:20.420 league and you want to do all this shit dude it's really hard to be an entrepreneur at this level 0.65
00:12:25.100 and do those things it's just really fucking hard okay so i'm not trying to discourage anybody 0.86
00:12:31.200 you know i've dedicated my whole life to helping people understand how to win i want you to win
00:12:36.840 but i want you to understand that it's something that you need to really like when it comes to
00:12:42.860 that particular question like you you like you guys see the brand from the outside you think this
00:12:47.620 is all fun and games i can promise you you come here for a day and hang out and see how hard it is
00:12:52.860 that everybody in here goes at it will change your opinion on how fucking uh you know easy you think it 0.93
00:12:58.820 is that's awesome well andy question number two so you you've mentioned a few times you know that
00:13:04.800 that being quote-unquote young in business does not refer to your age right but can you talk about
00:13:11.040 the advantages or disadvantages to being older in the game or or younger in the game well look dude
00:13:17.620 uh you does that person mean like their age yeah correct okay so like not age in business like
00:13:24.120 their actual age i'm a 60 year old yeah look dude there's plenty of people out there who've created
00:13:28.660 look colonel sanders became a fucking billionaire he was like 60 something years old when he started 0.76
00:13:33.560 yeah um and i fucking love fried chicken dude i'm sorry who doesn't yeah yeah but that was racist 0.63
00:13:41.340 all right so i got the you're a black face of white supremacy bro anyway you hear that larry yeah
00:13:51.220 but you were literally elder so bro the thing is is that you know um yes there's there's there's
00:14:00.280 advantages to both okay a lot of people don't think a lot of people will quickly give the
00:14:06.040 advantage to the younger person yeah okay they will quickly look at the 20 year old or 25 year old
00:14:10.920 and be like man i'm fucking 60 like these kids they know all this shit right but you have advantages 0.95
00:14:16.000 too and no one talks about those so like let's talk about the younger person's advantage all right
00:14:20.380 you got plenty of time um you're surrounded by technology you probably have a lot of friends that
00:14:25.520 understand technology you have an advantage right you know how people you know what's cool you know
00:14:30.260 what's happening you know what's going on those are advantages a younger person uh could have
00:14:34.940 right and also by the way this depends on what business you choose you know if you're an older
00:14:38.760 person you choose something that goes with older people that works for you too that same exact thing
00:14:43.380 i just said okay but here's the thing about older people that no one really recognizes because
00:14:49.400 they can't recognize it and this is this is really why like a lot of the younger bucks that come
00:14:54.140 and they try to come at me they get their fucking dick stomped and this is why all right i built 0.99
00:14:58.920 i built big companies before the internet so i understand pre-internet business and post-internet
00:15:06.520 business okay i understand how to build shit in real life and also in social media and these younger 0.71
00:15:13.040 kids don't have that and you as an older person let's just say you're 60 you have the ability to
00:15:19.720 remember what business used to be like before the internet and that play that you run of what
00:15:25.860 business used to be like when you combine with the technology is unstoppable and my companies are
00:15:31.480 living proof of that um but plus people see older people they automatically think experience and
00:15:35.880 wisdom well people listen to you you do you do that and because dude ultimately what you're doing
00:15:40.380 with the business is you're you're you're uh you got to become a phd in psychology of how people
00:15:45.960 respond how they buy what they're looking for and so you have to anticipate what it is what
00:15:51.620 messages are going to resonate with those people and as an older human you have much more experience
00:15:55.960 of doing so so there's advantages to both and the cool part is is that you're 60 there is so many
00:16:05.000 people that understand the technology that you think is mystical um that they think is no big deal
00:16:10.680 that you can bring those people on and they can fast forward your success and that's the cool thing
00:16:16.400 about technology right when i started a business we didn't have technology now i'm very grateful
00:16:21.080 because it gave me this advantage that these other businesses don't have like i mentioned before
00:16:24.700 but now with your 60 years old you could build a multi-million dollar company in two years because
00:16:33.460 the technology yeah you know what i'm saying so like there's there the reality of this whole answer
00:16:40.400 is it doesn't fucking matter okay and and what you think the other guy has um is not any more valuable 0.95
00:16:46.480 than what you have you're just too busy looking at what the other guy has and not focusing on what
00:16:50.900 it is you have and going all in there so that would be my answer you know i don't really care how old
00:16:56.600 you are people don't care how old you are um they care what you do they care what problems you solve
00:17:01.660 and if you can solve fucking problems for your customers they're going to buy from you that's it's 0.96
00:17:05.560 that simple so you know there's a lot to think about there but a lot of older people have tremendous
00:17:11.400 advantages that younger people can't fathom bro these kids who are starting these companies at 20 to 25
00:17:18.040 years old right now they don't they don't know what it was like before the internet they don't
00:17:21.740 understand what a customer experience really is when you go into a store and get treated the proper
00:17:25.760 way they don't understand how to how to convert that over to a digital experience like there's a
00:17:30.800 lot of shit they don't understand and we see it every day right like there's all kinds of something
00:17:35.680 to companies that haven't figured out yet that you can't wait two weeks to ship your fucking product 0.97
00:17:39.740 otherwise people will never buy it again you know i was on another competitive company's page not
00:17:44.540 not even a week ago and people were crying about not getting product from their black friday
00:17:48.500 fuck seriously yeah so like dude like this is shit that younger people don't get so there's a massive
00:17:57.360 advantage for people to get these things that are actually very basic when it comes to creating an
00:18:02.320 amazing experience for a customer that these younger people it's like that's mystical to them
00:18:07.100 you get it yeah so so dude there's there's advantages to both but at the end of the day
00:18:12.760 i don't care if you're fucking 16 or you're fucking 65 you can do something right now and make your life 0.97
00:18:20.000 tremendously better in a very short time because of the technology that's out there and you should
00:18:24.320 because even if you are 60 and let's say oh man my life's you guys oh my life's almost i'm an old man
00:18:30.480 bro you got 40 fucking years take care of yourself potentially yeah yeah you got a family you got people 0.90
00:18:35.780 you care about you're trying to inspire them try to make their lives better there's all kinds of
00:18:39.540 reasons to do these things so stop using age as an excuse because it's irrelevant to me
00:18:44.640 that's fucking awesome andy our third and final question for you i mean you kind of touched on
00:18:49.280 this a little bit in the first answer but andy have you ever found that your purpose changes and and
00:18:56.780 and if it does or should it or should it just be pretty consistent dude your purpose is always going
00:19:04.780 to involve okay um my first 10 years in business my purpose was myself all right i wanted to i wanted
00:19:14.060 to become wealthy i wanted to have all the shit i wanted to you know make money blah blah blah and by 0.76
00:19:19.100 the way that's a terrible purpose uh because for those first 10 years i made 58 000 all right um
00:19:25.920 10 years in i had a and by the way that wasn't per year that was for the whole decade
00:19:31.080 um 10 years in i had a scenario which made me really examine what i want to do with my life
00:19:38.440 um did i want to change businesses or did i want to uh stay with this business and we ultimately chose
00:19:44.920 to stay with this business because some of the customer experiences that we were able to create
00:19:49.840 accidentally that first 10 years had been some of the most rewarding experiences that any of that either
00:19:55.220 of us had experience at that time and so we decided instead of quitting we kind of gave up on the idea
00:20:02.460 of being rich and just said hey let's just try to replicate these results where we truly change
00:20:07.960 people's lives and they come back in six or seven months they got tears in their eyes and they give
00:20:11.980 you a big hug and say thank you for saving their fucking life right those experiences you just can't get 0.89
00:20:16.880 very many other places besides what we do here okay so we chose to go all in on that and over the next
00:20:23.800 five years we grew a hundred percent and we became multi-millionaires all right but understand that
00:20:30.180 that growth came from us changing our focus from self and our our our mission from self to other
00:20:37.160 people okay then when it another key moment in my journey was in 2015 i think it was i got pneumonia
00:20:46.780 and i was at home for three weeks all right and during those three weeks at the time i had been making
00:20:52.720 more money than i had ever made before and i was checking my daily sales right and i could see
00:20:56.660 the sales going up i could see the number of my bank account going up and i'm like fuck this is 0.85
00:21:01.340 awesome except i'm sitting here at home miserable as fuck and you know i started to think like this is 0.91
00:21:10.700 this is why people kill themselves like this is why rich people kill themselves because i didn't have
00:21:14.980 it was like i was making money but my perp like what was the this i was like this was it yeah
00:21:20.240 like you're just there yeah this is what the fuck it is and it dawned on me like this is why wealthy
00:21:25.420 people fucking blow their brains out okay and and so i changed my my my purpose again and my purpose 0.97
00:21:33.760 then came it expanded again and it went from just providing for the customers providing for my people
00:21:39.580 that worked at the and you think that would be like something you would automatically think but but
00:21:44.420 it's not you you have to like earn your way to that point because like at first you're starving
00:21:49.180 then you're doing okay then you're making some money then you realize it's not just about you it's
00:21:54.420 about everybody right and and that purpose expanded again and when that purpose expanded again and i went
00:22:00.240 from just wanting to take care of me and just trying to grow the company and this and this and this
00:22:04.340 i i i actually became much better in my skill set and became a much harder worker because i put the
00:22:11.440 pressure of you know everybody else's life onto me which made me fucking better okay so and now like 0.91
00:22:19.500 even again i'm kind of going through right now right like my purpose is expanding from uh you know where it

00:22:36.740 and everything to creating a a better life for everybody in the fucking world okay so like the 0.94
00:22:43.760 bigger the purpose the more pressure you have but the better results it will produce for you and
00:22:49.260 everybody else that's what i found so i think it's totally normal for people's purpose to change right
00:22:55.320 like gary a lot of these gurus will say oh you fucking you know cars are cars and watches material 0.81
00:23:01.660 things are fucking stupid well my first 10 years um i fucking love those things and those things 0.95

00:23:22.180 quitting on it right so whatever your dream really that bad yeah yeah you see what i'm saying so whatever
