00:01:51.100
you're a loser and that you need to get to work so this show will actually help you the rest of the

00:02:03.600
i'm fucking fuck it is what the fuck it is it is what it is man we got three good ones for you brother
00:02:11.560
any question number one uh what what what is your take on handling bad leadership specifically within
00:02:22.020
the law enforcement uh community so uh this guy's a police officer he has terrible culture and
00:02:27.640
leadership inside of his department what's your advice for him uh on handling that
00:02:31.740
is this the leader asking the question or somebody who's no he's a police officer he's worked he works
00:02:38.380
in the police department and his leadership in the police okay let me set uh let me set something
00:02:44.220
straight first of all um most people have complaints about leadership okay because leadership is very
00:02:50.620
difficult to do and what you may think is a fucking problem or is something you don't like may actually
00:02:57.700
be something that's actually for your benefit that you're not aware of because you're too busy
00:03:01.960
criticizing other people's leadership techniques so until you're a fucking leader and you've led until
00:03:07.720
you've built culture you really have no fucking way to understand whether you not have good leadership
00:03:14.160
or bad leadership you really don't yeah how do you know yeah because you haven't created it
00:03:19.220
okay so let's point that out i'm going to assume that the leadership is bad and i'm going to say i'm
00:03:27.520
going to answer the question but my point in stating this is uh lots of people bitch about
00:03:32.660
leadership that really don't have a bitch about leadership they're just bitches okay so i'm going
00:03:39.540
to assume that that's not you but you're always as a leader you're always going to have people that
00:03:44.000
are not happy with you that's part of the job part of if you are fucking well liked by every single
00:03:49.600
person all the fucking time uh you're a shit leader okay now i'm not saying you go in and be be mean
00:03:56.860
i'm not saying you go in and be nice i'm saying you go in and be fucking appropriate
00:04:00.720
all right you handle the situations as they come you do the best you fucking can you think through
00:04:06.320
them with all and sometimes you're going to make the wrong call and sometimes you're going to make
00:04:11.260
the right call and you're going to figure it out and every time you fit make the wrong call you're
00:04:15.700
going to get better it's a lifelong learning lessons to be a great leader all right so maybe cut the
00:04:21.920
person to top you a little bit some fucking slack just just saying it's pretty hard to do okay now
00:04:29.040
how do you deal with poor leadership in a scenario where you were part of a team and you were not the
00:04:34.160
leader well that is a really good question and the way to handle it is to become such a great leader
00:04:41.840
and influential uh leader to your peers that it transforms the culture of your team without your
00:04:48.980
the approval or the consent of your actual leadership what does that look like oh that
00:04:54.380
means being there for your teammates that means being positive it means whatever it is you want
00:04:59.220
culture to be you have to create within yourself it's called 360 degree leadership there's a whole
00:05:05.460
fucking book about it titled that by the way yeah so when you want culture to be good and you're not
00:05:11.100
being a part of the culture that you think needs to be you are actually the problem and not to
00:05:17.240
be yeah does that make sense yeah it does so i would start with living up to the culture that
00:05:22.020
you believe needs to be and instead of blaming steve and oh you got shitty culture
00:05:28.340
you think you bitching behind his back to all your people is good culture you're living the same
00:05:34.640
standard motherfucker it's the guy with the splinter in his eye fucking pointing at the or the plank in
00:05:40.920
his eye pointing at the splinter in yours right and that's the truth so before you complain about
00:05:46.520
culture and leadership are you living what you think culture should be are you leading how you
00:05:54.180
think you should be led because if the answer to those things are no then you're the problem you're
00:05:59.460
not the solution oh yeah but he's a poor leader and we got to get him out so i'm gonna tank him by
00:06:03.860
acting that's loser shit bro loser shit you'll always lose with that mentality the best thing you can do
00:06:11.180
if you're in a situation where you're under leadership that you don't believe is living up to
00:06:15.880
it is to start living to that standard bring your peers along then you know people don't like to do
00:06:23.540
this because they say oh then the leader gets credit for it blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
00:06:26.880
if you're that good it will be fucking obvious where it's coming from
00:06:31.460
so that's my answer it's not what people think but yeah yeah no no that that's great i fucking love
00:06:40.640
it any question have you have i wonder if this person has ever sat down and said hey i'm a little
00:06:46.500
concerned about the leadership or the direction of what's going on which i i mean or even try to
00:06:50.960
understand or contribute or teach teaching goes both ways it goes up and then it goes down right
00:06:57.060
you know how much shit i've learned from the guys in this room that i didn't know you don't think
00:07:03.460
i've learned every motherfucking leadership lesson the hard way or from people that i know that i was
00:07:07.680
supposed to be leading i didn't just make the shit up right right you know this is another problem i
00:07:15.020
have with people on the backs like with this kind of question because a lot of them will just sit
00:07:18.940
there and fucking complain forever not trying to contribute and you wonder why your job sucks the
00:07:26.160
reason your job sucks is because you're not contributing to a better environment
00:07:29.440
i mean i think most of these answers could be found by looking in the fucking mirror that's real
00:07:35.860
that's where i mean the thing is like like to you though you know right now because like he's
00:07:40.220
saying specifically in the law enforcement community because we see all these tyrants and
00:07:43.600
and pushing down these enforcing these mass man is that the angle he's coming from yeah it was law
00:07:47.920
enforcement um you know i'm saying so so so things like that you know i'm saying like i mean it
00:07:52.320
doesn't change the answer yeah you just say no yeah yeah it's not saying no it's be represent be
00:07:58.460
the best representative of what you believe your job should be at all times internally and externally
00:08:05.980
and guess what you're gonna fail at it sometimes you're probably failing at it now because you hate
00:08:11.300
your leadership so my point is is that if you want things to change culturally it's up to you to
00:08:18.200
change them culturally it's not the leader's job it's the fucking you job and once you start to get
00:08:25.320
better and you start to hold a higher standard and you start to speak different and talk different
00:08:28.860
teach different and care different the people around you will do the same it's contagious yes both
00:08:34.820
ways yes and there's no that you know people say well how do i become a leader well it's not
00:08:42.280
someone assigns you the the the title leader you got to pretend to be a leader before you're a leader
00:08:48.980
and get recognized as a leader that's how it works just like you got to pretend to go to sleep before
00:08:54.540
you actually go to sleep get it yeah whatever it is you want life you have to behave as if that's who
00:09:01.880
the fuck you are and then shit will materialize around that it's not the other way around people people
00:09:08.980
think that you are awarded the position in life and then you start behaving you start behaving like
00:09:14.480
a billionaire you'll become a motherfucking billionaire if you adopt the habits of a
00:09:19.760
fucking multi-millionaire guess what you'll become you see what i'm saying no you you don't just behave
00:09:27.600
that way once you get the millions of dollars right you you behave the way and then the universe
00:09:35.900
delivers that's how it works so if you want better culture behave the way a good culture
00:09:41.540
uh contributor would behave and and you will see it materialize this is how it works your behavior
00:09:49.060
determines the outcome it's not outcome then behavior change it's behavior outcome that's how it works in
00:09:56.180
every scenario any question number two uh can you think back let's let's time travel a little bit
00:10:02.640
think back to andy at 19 years old or maybe 18 right before s2 came along right what was the
00:10:08.340
best advice you've been given up to that point do the right thing why was why was that because it's
00:10:15.380
all-encompassing bro if you do the right thing listen my mom beat this into our heads when we were
00:10:20.640
growing up you know there's a famous story that i've told a number of times uh about mountain
00:10:25.900
berry punch kool-aid all right uh when i was a kid in fact i don't even know where the fucking story
00:10:32.620
is and i don't feel like telling it so just plug it in here we'll find it okay here it is i feel like
00:10:37.680
that's a stereotype that's perpetuated on unfounded facts you know uh i've had this lesson literally
00:10:45.620
pounded into me from the time i was about five six years old um by my mom i uh it's kind of funny
00:10:56.460
because when i say literally pounded i mean literally pounded um we were grocery shopping
00:11:02.040
at the local grocery store here and i remember we were going down the kool-aid aisle
00:11:06.960
and i wanted to get uh mountain berry kool-aid i remember the flavor because that's that's how severe
00:11:13.680
uh the lesson was was instilled in me yeah um it was mountain berry which i don't
00:11:20.140
remember how good it was because i never actually got to try it it's pretty good is it yeah flavor
00:11:25.540
yeah cherry's a little bit over the top it's a little too sweet but what is it like a mix of berries
00:11:30.140
yeah it's just really smooth yeah well i never got to try it so and this is this is why um
00:11:37.740
we were going down the kool-aid aisle and i wanted to get some mountain berry and i said you know
00:11:43.220
hey mom let's get mountain berry and and uh she said no and i you know i went on and on and said
00:11:49.440
hey you know let's get mountain berry come on mom please let's get mountain berry no the answer was
00:11:54.260
no was there a reason that she didn't want you to i like we didn't really have uh i'm assuming i mean
00:12:00.360
we didn't have much money when we were younger so like um i'm pretty sure it was a financial thing
00:12:05.300
unnecessary expenditure exactly yeah and uh so anyway we didn't get it and i decided i wanted
00:12:12.080
it anyway so i actually just stole it um i put it in my pocket and then when we got home i didn't
00:12:17.160
think the whole thing all the way through because i didn't know how to make kool-aid you know so when
00:12:22.800
i got home and i wanted to use the kool-aid i had to have somebody make it so i had to go to mom and
00:12:26.940
say hey mom you know make me some kool-aid yeah and uh when she saw that i took the kool-aid home
00:12:32.380
uh she unleashed the fire and brimstone of ass beatings upon me um i had to go back i had to
00:12:41.040
go in and return the kool-aid to the store so you didn't just get in trouble oh no you had to
00:12:46.240
actually make restitution oh yeah yeah yeah we went right back to the store that's how she is man
00:12:50.380
do the right thing do the right thing do the right thing and that that got that's that lesson was so
00:12:55.840
um first of all like i said the ass beating was enough to like make you remember but then the
00:13:03.160
embarrassment of it's one of my first memories honestly because i was like right in that age
00:13:07.600
where you start remembering things right and um you know that was something i've always remembered and
00:13:13.220
i'm 35 now i still remember that like clear as day um and i was lucky enough to have parents that
00:13:18.760
instilled you know do the right thing no matter what in me and i and and i think
00:13:23.660
how that ties into the to the subject we're talking about is how i feel about successful
00:13:31.180
people in business that i've been able to you know been fortunate enough to be surrounded with
00:13:35.240
and and get to know and call friends um the people who are truly successful understand what that means
00:13:41.940
in the business setting and i want to basically go through some ideas and some topics to to break up
00:13:50.100
that myth of you know you've got to step on people to get ahead or you've got to you've got to fuck
00:13:55.440
people over if you've got to do bad shit you know to people or take advantage of people okay so that
00:13:59.800
was the story of mountain berry punch all right um not that flavor aid shit yeah no uh-uh if i'm
00:14:07.880
stealing i'm stealing the good shit all right so but my point is my mom beat this lesson in my
00:14:12.960
fucking head over and over and over and over and over again and um literally sometimes uh and you
00:14:20.860
know my mom always feels like you know she didn't i don't know she feels like she didn't do a good job
00:14:28.280
or something or like didn't contribute enough for us but the truth is that she gave me the most
00:14:32.640
important lesson that i could ever fucking learn which is do the right thing and uh doing the right
00:14:37.500
thing is a really fucking hard thing to do sometimes um sometimes doing the right thing
00:14:43.360
is is is doing the wrong thing by someone else's standards of right and wrong right um but i i believe
00:14:51.760
that the reason that advice was the best advice is because i believe there's there's a karmic nature
00:14:58.460
of the universe and i believe that when you make if you try to do the right thing even if you do the
00:15:05.960
wrong thing i don't i don't think it counts against you as long as you will go back and and and adjust
00:15:10.640
behavior um i think where you get real trouble in life is when you knowingly do the wrong thing um
00:15:17.700
and so i've always tried to do the right thing you know i'm saying and uh
00:15:22.640
some situations are harder than others and and you know but i think you know when you do the right
00:15:31.760
thing i think that good things come to you i just i just believe that whether it be uh things that
00:15:37.880
other people recognize in you meaning like they see that that you try to do that and they value you in
00:15:43.540
terms of well that's a good person or that's a that's somebody yeah right yeah or whether that's
00:15:49.680
the laws of of god and the universe and everything else that that rewards that intent but i am big on
00:15:58.120
intent and i believe that the intent that you hold in your heart when you make decisions is the intent
00:16:04.440
by which you are judged by and rewarded according to and um so you know that sounds like a simple lesson
00:16:13.680
when you're 20 years old right but now that i'm not 20 and i have perspective and i can look back on
00:16:19.900
the last 20 years since i was 20 uh i realized that that really is the most massive important advice
00:16:28.060
that has shaped what you all see as my existence you see what i'm saying yeah that's fucking deep so
00:16:34.740
um i could go over i could tell you this anytime i've ever violated that law even a little i've gotten
00:16:44.520
burnt real fucking bad um and the times where i've just really thought i was doing the right thing
00:16:54.260
and i i happen because that's going to happen okay like you're gonna there's going to become
00:16:59.060
times in your life where you think you're doing the right thing at the time yeah and you realize
00:17:03.400
that you aren't and i think the minute you realize that you aren't you should make the correction
00:17:07.860
um and i think that when that happens the universe has grace on you i think where the universe and god
00:17:13.740
and everything really fucking hammers people is when they when they make decisions knowing that it's the
00:17:21.020
wrong thing and then i think that really i think when you compromise that i believe that when you
00:17:26.300
compromise that you get punished that's my personal belief and that's my personal experience yeah um
00:17:32.120
and my personal experience is when you do not violate that you are rewarded even if you make the
00:17:37.620
technically wrong decision but with the right intent and then you go to correct it later you see what i'm
00:17:43.120
saying like that would be something like you know for example my political views were a little bit
00:17:49.020
different when i was 20 than they are now right right but as i as i grew and observed and learned
00:17:57.720
i quickly called that out and i said well i used to believe this but i don't believe that anymore
00:18:03.080
right right and like a lot of people um my my views were more liberal when i was younger and they've
00:18:10.260
become more conservative because i've recognized how damaging some of the social
00:18:14.840
the social ideals that are pushed by that side of ideology actually damage people long term right
00:18:23.360
where people don't know their purpose or they don't understand basic how to communicate or run a
00:18:27.760
family and they're all alone and they don't you know there's a lot of shit that really like when you
00:18:32.300
see it from an adult's perspective from 20 to 40 it's a lot different than when you're 20 years old
00:18:38.320
and you think you got the whole fucking shit figured out yeah and you know a lot of the people
00:18:41.860
listening to the show are between 18 and 25 and you guys think i'm just some crazy older dude that
00:18:47.220
like is spouting off shit no i'm i'm telling you you should listen to what i'm telling you because
00:18:53.000
it's real shit so it's fucking yeah i think intent matters a lot i think you should really work on
00:19:00.600
this is why i talk about whenever i talk about like haters like when people you see someone who is
00:19:06.420
successful and your first reaction is to be angry or jealous about it and i think that's natural
00:19:15.060
though i mean oh yeah everybody gets it a little bit oh for sure dude listen i had to work through this
00:19:18.980
for a long time um i was a fucking wild animal when it came to that okay uh and not that that's not
00:19:26.620
a good way to win you can win that way you're just going to be it's it's you never win better than
00:19:32.900
people you're jealous of yeah like it's just you won't be happy yeah and so i think you know the
00:19:39.020
work i've done on myself was to go from that place of jealousy to automatically like no this is a good
00:19:46.580
thing because what what that shows me is that it's possible okay because what happens is jealousy
00:19:52.580
comes from a place of lack right you see someone succeed you don't have what they have and you're not
00:20:00.880
secure enough to know that you can do what they did so it angers you right when in reality what
00:20:07.620
you should look at it and how i've always looked at it even if for a split second it made me jealous
00:20:12.600
how i've worked to look at it is all right cool i'm glad steve over there won who's my main competitor
00:20:19.660
in life and business and my arch enemy so to speak because it shows me if steve can win i can win
00:20:24.660
and when you switch your viewpoint to that sort of viewpoint you will win way fucking bigger and
00:20:31.420
you'll have way more fun because those people that you thought you hated will actually become some of
00:20:36.880
your best fucking friends and you get to like hang out with them and talk strategy and be friendly and
00:20:41.680
that's the one of the things that arte really taught me there's a number of other nutrition company
00:20:45.900
owners i won't say their names because it's confidential but they own big companies that are in arte
00:20:50.780
and i teach them every motherfucking thing i know and some of these guys are literally in the exact
00:20:57.200
same space i'm in they sell the exact same shit they're you know because i'm in a lot of shit right
00:21:03.560
so it might be first form or it might be cannabis or it might be tequila or it might be might be might
00:21:08.880
