What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realists, say goodbye
00:00:20.880
to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:24.920
reality. Guys, today we have Q and AF. We answer your Q's and I do my AFs. That's how we do
00:00:32.220
it. All right. I do free and then we ask you to pay the fee. The fee is very simple. If
00:00:37.480
you learn something, made you laugh, made you think it was valuable info that helped
00:00:41.080
you in any way or made you think this was shareable information, we'd appreciate it if
00:00:47.240
you helped us out, grow the show. Okay. You could submit your questions where? Email your
00:00:54.540
questions in guys to ask Andy at Andy for seller.com. Yeah. And that's DJ. Hey, what's up?
00:00:59.980
What's up, man? All right. Let's do it, man. Let's knock it out. Yeah. Question number one
00:01:04.640
for you. How do you go about maintaining standards once you have them set? Well, dude, that's
00:01:12.240
awareness. Okay. Cause you know, what I talk about is zero compromise. Okay. Or zero option
00:01:18.160
mentality. Now people are confused by what those phrases mean. They mean two different
00:01:22.500
things. This one, what we're talking about here is zero compromise. What that means is
00:01:26.840
when you set a standard, you have to live by that standard. And when you catch yourself
00:01:30.740
slipping on that standard, you automatically correct that right away. Zero, zero compromise.
00:01:36.840
Okay. Because once you compromise once you compromise a second time, a third time, a fourth
00:01:41.300
time, and then, you know, you don't know where the fuck you are, how you got there and what's
0.68
00:01:45.500
going on. And you're completely out of control in your life. Yeah. This happens to most people
00:01:49.260
and most people spend their entire existence on this planet in that reactive state. Okay.
00:01:54.560
So the standards that you set must be corrected the very second that you notice that you've
00:02:00.700
slipped. All right. That's awareness. That means you have to audit yourself. That means
00:02:05.760
you have to look at yourself and examine yourself regularly, not once a year on new year's resolution
00:02:11.760
time. I'm talking about multiple times a day. For example, like I particularly look at
00:02:19.240
little bitty things as a dilution to my own discipline. Like you will see me if you're
00:02:25.100
around me do really weird shit that you wouldn't see a CEO do. Yeah. Like what?
00:02:29.260
On cardio walks, picking up fucking nails. What else? Shit joints in the hallway or a bathroom,
0.67
00:02:34.980
wiping piss off the toilet seat. Yeah. Like you'll come in here and you'll see me wiping down the
00:02:39.480
urinals. Yeah. Okay. And you'll be like, why the fuck is this guy wiping down the urinals?
00:02:42.760
Because if I see something that needs to be addressed and I don't address it, I just withdrew
00:02:49.940
from my discipline account. Okay. And I, I, I compromised, which, which the next time will
00:02:57.060
be more and the next time more and the next time more. And I literally tie my entire success
00:03:01.940
on this planet to these things. So that, yeah. Yeah. So like, dude, you, if you start viewing
00:03:08.320
your discipline the right way and understand that every time you look the other way, when you see
00:03:13.280
something that needs to be fixed, your discipline is actually going down. Your, your self-belief is
00:03:18.320
going down. Your ability to, uh, execute is going down and all these things are starting to,
00:03:23.820
starting to happen because you compromise. You'll look at doing the little things a lot differently.
00:03:27.940
Yeah. If you look at the little, little piece of paper that you walked by and understand that
00:03:32.320
because you walked by and didn't address that, um, you're going to walk by 14 other things and
00:03:37.220
one of Mitch might cost you actual money. You'll start doing the little things. Yeah. So it's about
00:03:42.200
assigning value to things that other people think are insignificant and being aware enough
00:03:46.220
to correct them the minute they get off course. Yeah. It's that simple. Yeah. So you walk through
00:03:51.320
here, you think everybody has fucking OCD or something. Yeah. But they don't what they understand.
00:03:55.480
Like I get asked that all the time. How do you get, how do you, why is this place so clean?
00:03:58.980
Why is it this? Why is it that? Because these people here understand what I just said because
00:04:02.860
I teach them that daily. It's fucking, it's contagious. No dude, it's self-serving. People
00:04:08.660
don't understand. It's not teamwork to do that. Like people think, Oh, the team, the team walk
00:04:13.780
through here all together. The team, the team, the team must be great. The team is great, but the
00:04:17.680
team is great because the individuals are great. Okay. The individuals understand in this company,
00:04:23.740
in these four walls that if they walk by something, they're actually probably going to make less money
00:04:29.660
down the road because of that. Not because I caught them, but because they will slip on all
00:04:34.040
their other things. Right. See what I'm saying? Yeah. And once you get people to understand that,
00:04:38.820
it becomes a lot easier to get them to hold the line. So yeah, it's very simple. It's just people
00:04:44.900
looking at it the wrong way. That's real. Andy, question number two, you've proven time and time
00:04:50.740
again, and guys, if you listen to the CTIs and, and listened for the last two years, especially
00:04:55.500
Andy, you've proven time and time again, that you have an ability to see the future and how things
00:05:00.380
will play out. Is that a skill or is that a gift? And if it is a skill, how did you develop it?
00:05:08.420
You know, I don't like using the term gifts. Yeah. Cause I think it discourages people,
00:05:13.960
but I think if I did have a gift, my gift is the ability to connect dots and see corners that other
00:05:21.220
people don't see yet. Um, other people call that like vision or they call people like that visionaries.
00:05:27.080
I don't like that shit. Uh, I'm just a regular dude that happens to have a pretty nice little gift.
00:05:33.520
Um, but it's not hard to develop that. I'm, I'm naturally, uh, able to do this. Yeah. Okay.
00:05:40.040
But then also what I make sure I do. And this is, this is why most people can't see the shit that's
00:05:45.300
going on, uh, in the world right now. And this is also why most people have trouble in business
00:05:50.400
anticipating what's coming down the pipe. Number one, uh, they're not paying nearly enough attention
00:05:56.620
to these things at all. Remember when I said, uh, in the episode earlier, uh, a couple of days ago
00:06:02.220
where I said, um, you know, this is all I do. Okay. Well, when I'm looking into things, I get obsessed
00:06:09.180
about them. Okay. And I, I don't just observe the things from the people I agree with. I observe
00:06:15.020
the things from people I don't agree with. And then I look at the data. And so I draw, uh, you know,
00:06:21.780
I deduce a, a, a, a, an outcome based off of all the available information. That sounds pretty easy
00:06:29.880
to do, but the problem is most people don't, uh, aren't willing to like put their ego aside and
00:06:35.440
listen to someone who might think differently. Like how many podcasters out there that talk
00:06:39.180
about American shit or interviewing the leader of black lives matter? None. See what I'm saying?
1.00
00:06:43.440
None. But his, but Hawk's point of view is very important because there was a big, there's a big
00:06:47.440
part of the society. Now, you know, I got a lot of black folks that messaged me after that. And
00:06:52.980
they're like, you got to understand most black people don't think like that. Yeah, but some do.
0.98
00:06:57.520
Okay. So I want to hear what they say and I want to see where we can find the common ground.
00:07:02.080
I also want to see things from their perspective. And I think that people are naturally closed down
00:07:07.240
because of the societal nature of attack, attack, attack, attack, make my sound boy,
00:07:12.780
make my sound point or my sound bite go viral. Um, Oh dude, you own that dude. Like all these things,
00:07:20.160
they are anti solution and they were, they are pro divisive. Okay. So for you to come up with a
00:07:28.280
conclusion that actually is the truth, you have to dig deep into all sides of the information,
00:07:34.440
right? Like a lot of people who are conservatives, they will not watch MSNBC or CNN to even see what's
00:07:40.540
being said, right? All they do is look at the memes where all, most of these people are just
00:07:45.320
ripping on these people and they aren't trying to see what's happening. Right. And you have to do
00:07:50.840
that. So in business, it's the same way you, you need to analyze all the data. You need to analyze
00:07:56.300
every possible, every possible scenario that can work out. And then you decide on what the most
00:08:02.120
likely one is. And so I could do that relatively quickly now because I've been doing it for a long,
00:08:08.860
long time. And I think my business, my experience of business is what's really helped me be able to
00:08:14.960
see what the fuck is going on for these last two years. And I think that's why a lot of people
00:08:19.080
haven't been able to see it. I have experiences that they don't have that allow me to understand
00:08:24.840
why decisions are being made at certain levels, right? Where other people just think these people
00:08:29.840
are good hearted people telling them the truth. Does that make sense? So, you know, it's a little
00:08:35.720
bit of both for me. You know, I think I do have a natural ability to see those things. Um, and I
00:08:41.160
think my life speaks to that. My, you know, like you really can't argue with the results. Um, but I
00:08:46.380
also don't think that if you're just, you're not more inclined, you can develop it. Yes. A hundred
00:08:51.800
percent. And it really has to do with you observing all the data and be willing to look at all the data
00:08:57.800
and not discount things because you don't like them. Does that make sense? That makes perfect
00:09:03.340
sense. And then you connect the dots, bro. The bit, the, the, the, look, this is the, this is the
00:09:09.380
truth I found that walks like a duck. It sounds like a duck. It looks like a duck. It doesn't matter
00:09:16.120
what fucking CNN is saying. All right. It's a fucking duck. All right. No shit. And that's the same way
00:09:22.020
in business. You have to be able to trust yourself enough. And I think a lot of people see what the
00:09:27.500
fuck has been happening the last couple of years, but they don't want to say so because they don't,
00:09:31.820
they don't have the experience and the confidence necessarily that I have. So they don't want to
00:09:36.100
voice it out because they don't want to be wrong. Okay. And that's a whole nother thing. I don't care
00:09:40.540
about being wrong. Like if I'm wrong, I'll say, well, Hey, I guess I fucked that up, you know,
00:09:46.560
and I'll make it right. But that's, that's how you got to be. If you're going to be bold,
00:09:51.700
if you're going to be bold, you got to be willing to be humble too. So does that make sense?
00:09:56.760
Makes perfect sense. Absolutely. Andy, our third and final question for you today.
00:10:02.560
What is your take on jumping on trends or bandwagons when it comes to business?
00:10:10.320
It depends. I think, you know, in my business, performance nutrition is my main business.
00:10:17.060
Health is my main business. And that's when I say my, my business, I'm talking about that. I'm in a
00:10:21.940
lot of other things, but these, what I'm about to say applies to everything. Okay. In our business,
00:10:26.700
there's all kinds of trends that have happened over the year that I ethically know are not correct.
00:10:30.940
And so I've refused to jump on them where I could have made literally probably billions of extra
00:10:37.120
dollars at this point doing so. Okay. But I didn't, um, because I think ethics matter and I think how
00:10:44.940
you make your money matters. And I think if you know, something doesn't work, like for example,
00:10:48.920
in the last question, when I, when I dig into all these different things and then I know for sure it
00:10:54.740
doesn't work, how can I ethically put that out? Even if it is hot on a trend, that's just not how
00:11:00.840
I do things. Right. And you know, there's other people in this industry who have done those things
00:11:05.360
and made those decisions and it's come back to bite them where they end up going to jail or they
00:11:09.500
end up in deep shit. And you know, that's the risk of jumping on a trend that you know is not right,
00:11:15.680
even though there's money to be made there. So I think you have to be conscious of that
00:11:20.780
because you're long, but it's a long game, bro. It's not the short game. It's the long game.
00:11:26.620
Um, but I will also say there's, it's very important to follow trends that are real. Okay. Uh,
00:11:34.940
you know, for example, um, you know, people are moving from a place of, I just want to look good
00:11:43.940
to, I want to look good and I want to be healthy on the inside. Right. The pandemic scared the fuck
00:11:49.060
out of a lot of people, dude. I've had a lot. How many people have you seen come through HQ?
00:11:52.780
They've lost 200 pounds in the last two years. Yeah. A lot. Shit. Right. And the reason they've
00:11:57.280
done that is because they're legitimately scared and they realized, man, I got to be healthy.
00:12:00.360
And so, you know, we were, we were traditionally a performance based company only. And now we've
00:12:06.900
become a whole health company that helps people do both. And that's a trend, but I think that's a
00:12:12.620
trend that will stay. Okay. Um, but you know, I think, I think trends matter a lot and I think
00:12:21.860
it's important for you to know what the trends are, but it's also important for you to be
00:12:25.180
selective about which trends you decide you want to jump on. Yeah. You know, cause like there's some
00:12:31.100
that will come back to bite you. Like the metaverse shit, like the metaverse shit. Well,
00:12:35.920
yeah. That's just trending. Sure. Is it Facebook lost $239 billion in one day? Yeah. That's also
00:12:43.440
true. Yeah. You know, is it, I, I, I stand by what I said. There's going to be a massive part
00:12:47.980
of society that's not going to go further into technology than what they already are. This is
00:12:52.980
a very good example. I'm glad you brought it up because the trend now, the trend, like all these
00:12:58.080
gurus and entrepreneurs are trying to make the trend, the metaverse, and they're bragging about how much
00:13:02.220
money they're going to make and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But if you're paying attention to
00:13:05.740
the actual trend, the actual trend is that people are becoming technology averse, meaning they do not
00:13:11.940
want to spend more time than they already do with that fucking phone in front of their face.
0.92
00:13:16.640
So what makes you think those people are then going to surrender to putting goggles on and living their
00:13:21.240
entire life on a fucking set of goggles? You see what I'm saying? So, and I stand by that. And like,
00:13:26.600
dude, look, that doesn't mean that it's going to get rejected. There will be a lot of people that go
00:13:30.480
into that and make a whole bunch of money. Um, but there's going to be a lot of people that don't.
00:13:34.180
And, and I think we're at a time where there will be a hard line drawn in the sand between people who
00:13:41.020
are wanting to go that way and people who aren't. And I'm betting on the people who aren't because
00:13:45.120
it's human nature. People want to, people want to live their life. They want to feel the sun. They
00:13:49.680
want to be healthy. They want to be active. They want to, they want to have experiences. They want
00:13:53.680
to travel. And this whole shutdown for the last two years was geared to make people forget about
00:13:59.140
those things. And what I think it's actually done is made people way more hungry for those
00:14:03.680
things. They're starving. Right. So, so, so what is the actual trend? Right. You know,
00:14:08.940
and people hear this shit from me and they think, Oh, well, he's, you know, he's old and he's stubborn.
0.64
00:14:14.400
He's going to be missing out. You know, I don't know, man. Like I'm doing pretty good. Yeah.
00:14:18.760
You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So I'm not shitting on anybody. I'm not going to argue with anybody,
00:14:23.180
but I'm just telling you there's the, the big opportunity, the big trend is real world shit
00:14:29.120
because a lot of people are abandoning it for the, for this shit. And like, I see this with
00:14:35.120
young entrepreneurs all over the place. They're abandoning building brands in the real world to
00:14:39.960
try to do NFTs and metaverse shit. And it's like, okay, but even if you go in there, you're going
00:14:46.100
to have to have the same business skills in there as you do here. Right. And at some point,
00:14:50.180
like, dude, it's just the short term battery is going to die on them goggles at some point.
00:14:53.840
I think I charge that shit up. So, so, you know, there's ethical, there's, I think a lot of people,
00:14:59.260
you know, after we put out the episode where I said that, uh, which was a number of episodes ago
00:15:03.280
where I talked about metaverse, I had so many people who were already talking about what they
00:15:07.940
were going to do in the metaverse actually messaged me back and be like, fuck dude. I never actually
00:15:12.700
thought about it like that. Yeah. Like that gives me a real, like real hesitation to pursue that
00:15:17.680
because I think it's wrong for humans. Yeah. I think it is wrong for humans. And so, but yeah,
00:15:23.760
dude, trends are fine. Trends are great and trends are necessary, but you have to be selective about
00:15:29.180
which ones you choose to operate on and which one's not. That's awesome. Guys, Andy, that is three. So
00:15:35.260
we're going to go pay the fee. Yeah. Do that shit.
00:15:37.420
Went from sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a pole. Fuck a stove. Counted millions
1.00
00:15:43.660
in the cold. Bad bitch. Booted swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. Doesn't know. Headshot. Case closed.
1.00
