What is up guys, it's Andy Frisella and this is the show for the realest sake about the
00:00:20.800
lies of fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:27.120
This is where you bring the Q's and I bring the AF's.
00:00:58.000
So where do they submit these questions for the show?
00:01:17.880
Q&AF are more focused on personal development and just a general how to get fucking better
00:01:25.960
And then CTI is current events where we try to bring you guys the deciphered truth of what
00:01:31.840
we think is actually going on with the real world.
00:01:34.340
And then sometimes we're going to do interviews and sometimes we're just going to get on and
00:01:39.300
So if you get value out of the show, please share the show.
00:01:55.600
How did you handle the mental roller coasters of experiencing big wins or the losses or the
00:02:01.600
How did you handle those, those mental roller coasters, bro?
00:02:06.200
You know, I'm not sure it's different than how you do it now, right?
00:02:10.660
I never saw it or my perspective was not that it was a roller coaster.
00:02:18.320
So I have this huge vision in my, in my head, right?
00:02:21.920
Of what I want to be, what I want our company to be, what I want all my companies to become,
00:02:32.540
And I just understand the nature of the process is going to be up and down, right?
00:02:42.280
And at the end of the day, as long as you execute every single day, whether it's good
00:02:45.840
or bad, you will eventually create this massive vision.
00:02:48.980
So I don't, I never like bought into it from an emotional standpoint.
00:02:57.920
And sometimes I get, I lose my temper and I get down and all those things are very real.
00:03:05.140
What I am saying is they don't affect my, my ability to execute.
00:03:10.860
And as long as I execute on the days I feel down or the days I took a loss or the days
00:03:15.680
this, um, I don't, I just kind of wash it off, dude, and get out of the next day.
00:03:22.720
And what you guys will find is there's no, that pattern is a pattern that's consistent
00:03:31.020
If you're a fucking drunk, you're going to have good days and you're going to have bad
00:03:38.560
The nature of entrepreneurship is if you execute, you will eventually create what it is you're
00:03:51.160
That's why I'm so big on all of those things because it's execution.
00:03:56.280
And so I don't look at it like, how do I deal with the ups and downs?
00:04:00.280
I just look at it like, this is the life I chose and my shit has to get done.
00:04:07.220
And I think that's a much more steady and balanced way to view how this is in terms of
00:04:15.180
taking it day by day and being like, fuck, today was great.
00:04:22.700
You know, so I try not to let the wins and losses of life, um, fuck with me too big.
00:04:29.900
I just understand what I'm trying to accomplish on a large scale.
00:04:35.200
Um, you know, I use the power list consistently.
00:04:41.860
You know, uh, you can go to episode 16 and really F feed if you want to hear about the
00:04:46.540
But as long as you execute, it doesn't matter how you feel.
00:04:48.860
Eventually you'll create that vision that you have in your head.
00:04:52.420
So let's talk a little bit about discipline, right?
00:04:54.460
Obviously we know we've got 75 hard and what's your take on a couple doing 75 hard together?
00:05:06.980
I think because I think a lot, first of all, a lot of people do that.
00:05:16.640
I hear, um, all the same things from these couples.
00:05:21.560
Uh, I hear, you know, all these different things, you know, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:05:27.800
But at the end of the day, all these messages come down to the same message.
00:05:30.800
And what it is, it's about earning respect for your partner.
00:05:33.360
Because when you do hard shit together, you gain more respect.
00:05:37.040
When you gain more respect, the relationship gets better.
00:05:39.800
And, you know, all the things that go with the relationship get better.
00:05:49.440
And then when I say lots, I mean, literally thousands of couples, not hundreds, thousands
00:05:53.960
who have done it, who have written me, who have said it, it's saved their marriage or
00:05:57.760
it saved their relationship or it saved this, or it created this new bond, or they're having
00:06:02.020
a better physical relationship, uh, all these different things.
00:06:06.300
Um, but at the end of the day, they're all the same thing.
00:06:08.740
And the same thing is this, uh, when you learn to respect someone because you've suffered
00:06:13.440
through hard things together, the relation, there's a, there's a bigger bond created.
00:06:17.680
And it's just always that way, whether it's a sports team, whether it's a business team,
00:06:21.500
whether it's a podcast team, whether it's a fucking relationship with your friends,
00:06:26.540
whether it's, uh, you know, it's why, like when you have people that are in the military
00:06:31.520
that they come out and they're friends forever, like when you suffer together, you earn respect
00:06:39.640
And, and so I think it's a great idea, you know, and I don't want to tell you what to
00:06:44.540
I think it's important for you because one of the biggest tools about 75 hard and live
00:06:48.380
hard program is developing the awareness for your life.
00:06:51.680
So like, if I go and say, Hey, this is what you're going to expect.
00:06:55.220
It sort of takes away, you know what I'm saying?
00:06:57.400
So my, my, my advice to this person would be to go fucking do it, do it the right way,
00:07:04.460
And I bet when you're done, you're going to say, fuck, that was the coolest thing we ever
00:07:10.780
Andy, our third and final bit, uh, question for you.
00:07:15.920
Andy, what's your take on starting a business or making a big move right now with all the
00:07:25.300
I think it's a great time to start a business because I think most people are sitting on
00:07:29.940
their hands, waiting for everything to get better.
00:07:32.620
I think a lot of people are, are playing defense.
00:07:35.460
Um, they're going into their shell and, you know, I think the companies that are highly
00:07:41.480
Um, and I know there's supply chain issues and there's things that hold back certain industries,
00:07:46.720
but at the, at the time, at the same time, there's a lot of people who weren't prepared
00:07:51.800
for these, these issues that are, that are closing, right?
00:07:55.720
There's a lot of businesses that just closed because of the pandemic.
00:07:59.720
And I hate to say this, but that's an opportunity, right?
00:08:03.200
Like there's an opportunity for those people that are looking to become entrepreneurs to
00:08:08.000
fill some of these holes that have been left closed or left open because our government
00:08:16.720
You know, and, and so as much as I hate to say, you know, oh, there's one person's
00:08:26.180
You know, um, there, I can think of two or three buddies that own gym franchises that are
00:08:31.780
kicking ass because a lot of these big box gyms closed during the pandemic.
00:08:36.560
So that it leaves a vacuum for new, new people to come in.
00:08:39.580
And so, uh, I think there's a big vacuum with restaurants.
00:08:42.440
I think there's going to be a huge, uh, want and need for these smaller restaurants.
00:08:48.340
And, and, um, I think there's all kinds of opportunity.
00:08:52.020
I think that, you know, the times in my life where we've done the best in business have
00:08:58.720
Um, the, the five years after 2008 crash, we, we grew a hundred percent because no one in
00:09:06.700
They all tried to like go in their shell and all those companies that went in their shell
00:09:15.240
Um, same thing the last couple of years, like our company has grown incredibly, incredibly
00:09:20.440
fast, um, because we were poised to take advantage of the technology that would allow us to do
00:09:31.120
And so I always see hardships in society as an opportunity to start a business or to grow
00:09:37.000
You know, when everybody's going left, that's when you need to go right.
00:09:39.700
And that's, that's how I believe that's how I've always operated, um, with very few exceptions.
00:09:46.000
And, uh, and I, I, I think that if you're a real entrepreneur, um, and you're really,
00:09:51.580
cause like, dude, look at the end of the day, entrepreneurship's been overhyped where people
00:09:59.880
Um, and I, I think a lot of not savvy entrepreneurs right now are scared shitless.
00:10:10.000
And a lot of, a lot of entrepreneurs who are at heart risk-taking entrepreneurs who are
00:10:14.540
willing to fucking go out there and put their nuts on the line are winning big because that
00:10:19.460
Um, I think there's an awesome opportunity to build teams right now, because I think a
00:10:24.820
lot of people are seeing this, this situation with, uh, their, their companies, maybe forcing
00:10:30.440
certain things or, or making them do things they didn't believe in.
00:10:33.680
And there's a lot of really highly skilled people that are working for companies that,
00:10:39.020
that are, that are woke, that are looking to leave and they're looking to find, and ask
00:10:43.980
me how I know I've hired almost 300 fucking employees in the last year and a half, 200,
00:10:50.840
So, you know, and, and most of those people come from these places and our team has got
00:10:56.560
infinitely stronger and infinitely better and much bigger because of the policies of some
00:11:01.620
of these bigger places that, you know, people just don't want to do that shit.
00:11:05.980
Like people don't want to work for globo fucking Coca-Cola.
00:11:17.300
There's a mission in some of these smaller companies that are out there trying to do things.
00:11:21.620
Um, and I think Americans are really getting to understand the danger that big corporations,
00:11:30.320
You know, they're seeing the funds go to these politicians that make these ridiculous laws
00:11:34.820
and these, these tyrannical mandates and, uh, these, these, these judges that don't prosecute
00:11:43.440
Um, I, I think people are noticing where that money goes and, and they're seeing all these
00:11:48.120
companies that support things like the world economic forum and they're staying the fuck
00:11:51.420
away from them and they're getting the fuck out.
00:11:52.860
And, um, that's not my, that's not me guessing.
00:11:58.200
Like that's actually happening because I see it every day here.
00:12:00.840
You know, people, people are still business wise.
00:12:04.240
They're, they're way behind what's the next trend is going to be.
00:12:06.720
The next trend is going to be pro America, American made, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:12:10.980
And they're still afraid, you know, like, and they're still fucking saying, Oh yeah, dude,
00:12:17.820
Uh, the reason you call yourself the silent majority is cause you ain't fucking free.
00:12:25.020
You can't, you couldn't even wear a fucking Trump hat to most of these companies without
00:12:31.680
Regardless of what you think of Trump, you see what I'm saying?
00:12:35.520
So, you know, people have an opinion and they have the right text to have their opinion.
00:12:41.400
And, and we've had corporate America do the work in the bidding of these giant woke
00:12:47.980
agencies to stifle the opinion of, of most of America.
00:12:55.320
They want to support companies that aren't scared of it.
00:12:57.460
They want to support companies that understand job creation.
00:13:00.140
They want to support companies that contribute to their own local economy.
00:13:03.500
They want to support companies that stand for the right shit.
00:13:08.440
So I think there's tremendous opportunity to be had right now.
00:13:12.140
And I think if you don't take advantage of it, you're probably going to get eaten up.
