00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realist, say goodbye to
00:00:20.800 the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:25.560 Guys, today we have Q and AF, that's where you submit the Qs and I give you the AFs.
00:00:31.500 You can submit your questions at, email those in to askandy at andyfricella.com.
00:00:38.220 Don't make them stupid, okay?
00:00:41.520 Ask good questions, you get good answers.
00:00:43.640 Ask stupid questions and you remain stupid. 0.91
00:00:46.840 Then sometimes when you tune in, now if this is your first time, we have multiple formats
00:00:51.540 on the show.
00:00:52.140 This is not like most shows where you tune in, it's the same thing every day.
00:00:55.860 We do different things a lot of different times on the show, so you never really know
00:00:59.680 what we're going to put out on a daily basis.
00:01:01.740 So today we're going to have Q and AF.
00:01:03.960 Sometimes we're going to have CTI, which is cruise the internet.
00:01:07.060 That is where we put headlines on the screen, we talk about what actual little truth there
00:01:11.480 is in the headlines, we talk about the fundamental problem at hand, and then we talk about what
00:01:15.700 we can do to solve it, okay?
00:01:17.360 And we're going to laugh at that shit because it's ridiculous, all right?
00:01:21.080 So there's a little bit of comedy, there's a little bit of fucking knowledge, but there's
00:01:25.120 a lot of problem solving.
00:01:26.620 And then Q and AF lends itself to that because all those problems have to be solved by excellent
00:01:30.560 people.
00:01:30.980 So if we're not excellent, we can't solve these problems, all right?
00:01:34.560 Then we have real talk.
00:01:35.820 Real talk is a short little speech, five, 10 minutes, 20 minutes about something I think
00:01:42.500 is important to talk about that we all need to be aware of and execute upon.
00:01:45.620 Then we have full-length podcasts, which is we bring in successful people, interesting
00:01:50.960 people, people with opinions, sometimes they're bad opinions, but we're willing to have those
00:01:55.660 conversations because that's what being human is, okay?
00:01:59.720 And when it comes to the successful guests that we have on the show, the whole point is
00:02:04.460 to bring them on and break them down and to show you how they got where they are because
00:02:09.880 you and I and all of these other people are all the same.
00:02:14.040 It's just what we do that makes the difference.
00:02:16.860 So the goal of this show is to make you better.
00:02:20.080 The goal of this show is to make the world better.
00:02:22.200 And we have a unique way of doing that.
00:02:23.940 And if it resonates with you, if it's something that gives you perspective, if it's something
00:02:28.120 that makes you laugh, if it makes you learn something, if it makes you better, if it helps
00:02:32.220 you grow your business, please share the show, okay?
00:02:34.960 One thing you'll notice about the show is we don't run ads.
00:02:37.040 We don't run ads on the show.
00:02:38.640 We don't run ads for the show.
00:02:39.720 I can make eight figures a year on the traffic of this show, just running ads.
00:02:43.020 I don't do it because I don't want to corrupt the message.
00:02:46.440 I don't want anybody's input.
00:02:47.700 And I want you all to stay, you know, I want to respect your time.
00:02:53.080 I'm not here to fucking sell you shit.
00:02:54.520 I'm here to make a difference.
00:02:55.880 So if you like the show, please share it.
00:02:58.220 That's what we ask.
00:02:59.180 So with that being said, let's get into this Q&A.
00:03:02.360 Hell yeah, man.
00:03:03.840 I got some good ones for you.
00:03:04.840 Oh, surprisingly.
00:03:07.320 Yeah.
00:03:07.800 Surprise.
00:03:09.460 Yeah, let's get into this, man.
00:03:10.800 Question number one, Andy, how do you handle the yes man or the yes man employee?
00:03:16.980 And more importantly, can you prevent that from even being a person in your workplace?
00:03:22.400 Look, there's two kinds of people that are highly fucking annoying, okay?
00:03:29.060 There is the person who says and agrees with everything you say.
00:03:32.980 And then there's the person who comes in and thinks that they're the only person that disagrees with you.
00:03:40.260 So they disagree with everything you say.
00:03:42.540 Contrarian.
00:03:43.180 Yes, and these two people are fucking annoying as shit from an executive point of view or from a leader point of view.
00:03:51.800 They offer no real value.
00:03:53.720 You can't trust their opinions.
00:03:55.640 And because they are trying to manipulate their position in your eyes, right?
00:04:01.700 They're trying to make themselves look more valuable.
00:04:04.080 They never become valuable because people who are in leadership positions and people who are aware, they understand what both of these people are up to.
00:04:13.020 Both of them are up to the same game.
00:04:15.040 It's just on a different end of the spectrum, okay?
00:04:17.260 I get people to come up to me all the fucking time and say, Andy, you know what?
00:04:22.980 I'm that guy that disagrees with you because no one disagrees with you and people are afraid to disagree with you.
00:04:28.700 Hey, fuck you, okay?
00:04:30.540 I got enough people that disagree with me.
00:04:33.300 In fact, I analyze every decision I make to the point where I don't even know if I disagree with me or not.
00:04:39.120 I'm a very aware human.
00:04:40.600 I don't need anybody piling on.
00:04:42.460 I don't need any of you fucking people that think you're like some sort of an aware person going to tell me the shit no one wants to tell me.
00:04:48.780 I'm going to continue to do me.
00:04:50.480 And if you come to me and you tell me that, I automatically cut you out of my circle, okay?
00:04:55.080 Now, if I think that you're one of these yes people that never tells the truth, I don't cut you out of the circle.
00:05:01.420 I just don't listen to anything you say, okay?
00:05:04.260 I don't read my own headlines.
00:05:06.160 I don't read my own criticisms.
00:05:07.900 I do what the fuck I'm about.
00:05:09.620 I make the moves that I think I can make, and I want honest feedback.
00:05:12.880 And if you are a person who wants to be valuable to a more successful person and you want to endear yourself and actually get in their circle, offer honest feedback.
00:05:23.700 Tell the truth.
00:05:25.000 If things are uncomfortable, say they're uncomfortable.
00:05:28.080 If things are right, say they're right.
00:05:30.180 If you agree, agree.
00:05:31.420 If you disagree, disagree.
00:05:33.100 Doing the right thing, behaving like an actual adult, not trying to manipulate the situation, is actually how you create value in yourself, okay?
00:05:42.700 Now, those two groups of people, I would say, make up a third of the people in each way.
00:05:49.600 So we have 33% that agree, 33% that think they're the contrarian because they're so fucking intelligent, and they always say the same shit.
00:05:58.600 You and me are a lot alike.
00:06:00.180 Motherfucker, we ain't nothing alike.
00:06:01.520 We're the same.
00:06:02.220 We ain't nothing alike.
00:06:04.260 Look at your life and look at my life.
00:06:06.600 We are nothing fucking alike.
00:06:08.820 And when you say that to me, it's irritating as fuck because I have earned all of this, and you have yet to earn your position to even say that.
00:06:18.080 All right?
00:06:19.840 That's it.
00:06:20.520 So I like the 33% of the people, like the people in this room or the people in my executive meeting that actually tell me the truth.
00:06:29.360 Hey, do we have a problem here?
00:06:30.880 No.
00:06:31.620 Do we have a problem here?
00:06:32.720 Yes.
00:06:33.240 Right.
00:06:33.760 What's the solution?
00:06:35.520 And then they bring solutions.
00:06:36.920 And that's another point.
00:06:39.720 People don't bring me fucking problems.
00:06:42.240 If you bring me problems, you are fucking nothing to me.
00:06:45.460 If you bring me solutions, and more than one solution, right, a solution with then another solution and maybe even another solution to back that up, now you're valuable.
00:06:56.040 Right?
00:06:56.420 That's what I pay you for.
00:06:57.600 I pay you to fucking come up with solutions and solve problems. 0.57
00:07:00.680 I don't pay you just to come report the bad news to me, motherfucker.
00:07:04.160 All right?
00:07:04.480 So if you want to become valuable, understand, tell the fucking truth, say when you agree, say when you disagree, and when you identify a problem, come up with the solution or potential solutions before you even approach me or your leader or your CEO.
00:07:20.540 I can promise you every single CEO that's out there that is worth a fuck operates this way.
00:07:29.820 And if they don't, then you should leave your company and go somewhere else.
00:07:34.480 It's funny.
00:07:36.420 So, like, I mean, I pay attention to, I do my best to pay attention to your mannerisms and how you do things, right?
00:07:41.860 Hold on.
00:07:44.280 What happens when yes man and fucking contrarian come up to me and say shit? 0.74
00:07:47.820 What do I say?
00:07:48.320 What happens with the minute they walk away?
00:07:50.640 What happens?
00:07:51.600 Tell the truth.
00:07:52.400 What happens?
00:07:53.100 Tell the truth.
00:07:54.300 So, first.
00:07:56.980 Hold on.
00:07:57.400 Do I say, oh, man, they're so fucking valuable?
00:07:59.880 Do I say, oh, man, I really like that person?
00:08:03.660 No.
00:08:04.080 What do I say?
00:08:05.500 That dude's full of shit.
00:08:06.520 Yeah.
00:08:06.860 I say, what a fucking idiot.
00:08:09.400 I was going to say the first thing.
00:08:10.220 And I say, I say that guy, or if they're meaning well, I'll say that's a good person, but they're very unaware.
00:08:15.720 Yeah.
00:08:16.060 Yeah.
00:08:17.200 You also say to them directly when they say some shit that you know, you're like, oh, yeah.
00:08:22.360 Yeah.
00:08:22.560 That's your favorite line.
00:08:23.380 Yeah, it is.
00:08:24.860 Someone come to tell me some shit.
00:08:26.340 Like, I don't know.
00:08:26.920 I'm like, oh, yeah, really?
00:08:27.800 Oh, yeah.
00:08:28.320 Yeah.
00:08:29.140 Yeah.
00:08:30.520 They don't know what to say.
00:08:31.760 No.
00:08:32.080 Because then they start trying to explain something they know nothing about.
00:08:34.800 Makes them sound good.
00:08:35.580 Yes.
00:08:36.280 Yep.
00:08:36.700 Yep.
00:08:37.060 Bro, bro, I could promise you if you come up to me and you're like, I'm going to be the guy that tells you what you really.
00:08:41.740 Motherfucker, I've been doing this 23 fucking years.
00:08:44.680 Look around.
00:08:45.340 I'm pretty fucking good at it.
00:08:47.180 I'm pretty good at my fucking, my little framework that I operate on.
00:08:50.100 I don't need you in it.
00:08:51.480 So, shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:08:52.760 Mind your own business.
00:08:53.780 Unless you got a real solution.
00:08:55.460 That's right.
00:08:55.760 And I'm willing to hear it.
00:08:56.860 That's real.
00:08:58.420 But follow up question on preventing it.
00:09:00.360 Right.
00:09:00.540 Like, and I've noticed, like I said, I do my best to pay attention to how you operate and the things that you do.
00:09:05.340 Right.
00:09:05.620 And I find that when you're talking to a team or you're talking to a meeting, right, and you're trying to get the opinions and take the input from everybody else, you always ask them for their opinion on the matter before you give yours.
00:09:20.580 What's the method behind the madness?
00:09:22.960 Because I don't want their opinion.
00:09:24.460 I mean, these, these, these, these people will mold their opinion around mine.
00:09:27.520 Right.
00:09:27.820 So, so the only way to get honest feedback is to get them to say first, right?
00:09:31.980 Yeah.
00:09:32.220 It's like negotiation.
00:09:33.220 He who speaks first loses the negotiation, right?
00:09:37.080 In typical negotiating.
00:09:38.380 Yeah.
00:09:38.660 Now I'm a negotiator.
00:09:39.640 I am a different kind of negotiator.
00:09:41.240 In fact, I had this discussion with Emily last night.
00:09:43.620 She was reading a book on, on negotiation that was basically about not splitting the middle.
00:09:49.440 And, uh, that's completely wrong.
00:09:51.420 In my opinion, the truth, the truth of the matter, a great deal is a deal that everybody walks away and says, man, I got treated right there.
00:09:58.760 I won.
00:09:59.240 Yeah.
00:09:59.420 That's a fucking good deal.
00:10:00.800 This idea of trying to get as much as you can and fuck the other guy. 0.75
00:10:05.140 That's why those people are all mediocre.
00:10:06.900 And I promise you the motherfucker that wrote that motherfucking book, ain't he, bro, he doesn't make in a year what I make in a fucking week.
00:10:15.440 It's the truth.
00:10:16.440 No shit, man.
00:10:17.120 Okay.
00:10:17.440 So let's be real about fucking negotiating.
00:10:20.740 Be fucking fair.
00:10:22.220 Do good.
00:10:23.240 Do the right thing and let everybody feel good about it.
00:10:26.580 And eventually that all catches up and it pays off.
00:10:30.440 That's real.
00:10:32.340 That's real, guys.
00:10:33.300 Question number two, Andy.
00:10:35.140 Uh, Andy, I'm starting my own business and I have roughly 50 K saved up in the current financial climate.
00:10:43.280 Would it be wiser to start the business from that savings account or take out a loan or capital for the business while still having the 50 K for emergency?
00:10:51.700 What's your thought process on that?
00:10:55.760 You know, I, I never use other people's money.
00:10:58.780 Um, I, I don't, I think that's, I think that's a question of comfort.
00:11:04.200 What are you comfortable with?
00:11:06.500 You know, um, all these banks, when, when we were, when we didn't have any money, they wouldn't give us any money.
00:11:14.240 Okay.
00:11:14.640 So I became like debt averse.
00:11:16.480 Like, I don't like debt.
00:11:18.080 You know, some of these guys out there on the internet talking about being a billionaire, they owe a billion dollars.
00:11:23.760 Right.
00:11:24.220 When the bank loans you a billion dollars and you go out by a billion dollars of real estate, you're not a billionaire.
00:11:28.580 You're fucking, you're the middle man.
00:11:31.800 You owe a billion dollars.
00:11:33.600 Okay.
00:11:34.060 Do you understand that?
00:11:35.160 That's fucking reality.
00:11:36.760 Okay.
00:11:37.680 So I don't have any debt.
00:11:39.720 I don't own any, I don't owe shit on this company.
00:11:41.700 I don't owe shit on my fucking properties.
00:11:43.920 I am an anomaly.
00:11:46.180 And, uh, in that regard.
00:11:48.020 And that's because, and that's also why it's taken 23 fucking years.
00:11:51.560 Okay.
00:11:51.960 So it took me a lot longer because I have that.
00:11:54.280 So it could be looked at as a true handicap.
00:11:57.060 It's all about comfort.
00:11:58.880 Nobody ever wanted to invest in me.
00:12:01.120 And I was so afraid of like having to owe people money or things going wrong that I never took money from people.
00:12:08.220 Or even just getting told no again.
00:12:09.740 Yeah.
00:12:10.020 I'm just, dude, there was a time where I went to fucking, I went to like fucking, I don't know.
00:12:14.620 In a month, I went to like 40 banks.
00:12:16.400 Like I went to one every day and I put on a fucking suit and go like suck dick for fucking asking for a chance.
00:12:22.080 Bro, I'm not doing it.
00:12:23.100 Fuck that.
00:12:23.560 And once I got done with that, I'm like, you know what?
00:12:26.420 Fuck this.
00:12:27.300 And this is kind of how I feel about the country right now.
00:12:29.140 And all these motherfuckers who won't stand up and speak. 1.00
00:12:31.360 Fuck this.
00:12:32.180 I do it my fucking self.
00:12:33.620 And that's how I've been my whole life.
00:12:35.780 Nobody cheered for me the first fucking 15 years we were in fucking business.
00:12:39.620 I didn't, I wasn't cool.
00:12:41.560 I wasn't the MF CEO.
00:12:43.580 Nobody, I wasn't a baller.
00:12:45.300 Nobody wanted to fucking hang out with me.
00:12:46.940 Every fucking girl I dated fucking left.
00:12:49.360 Like bro is a fucking loser for 15 fucking years.
00:12:52.080 If you're willing to be a loser for 15 years, maybe you could be a billionaire too.
00:12:56.600 But that's the truth.
00:12:58.480 Okay.
00:12:58.780 It's a totally different thing.
00:13:00.500 So I personally don't, I am not comfortable with debt that I can't pay right away.
00:13:08.380 Okay.
00:13:10.540 Now escalating our company to a $50 billion level, which is what we're going to do.
00:13:15.340 That's probably going to require some fucking money.
00:13:18.120 But the reality is, is I have so much money now I can self-finance.
00:13:21.660 Right.
00:13:22.140 Because I saved it all.
00:13:23.200 Right.
00:13:23.640 Right.
00:13:24.040 So, so it depends on what path you want to go.
00:13:26.640 You could definitely go faster by, by, by using other people's money and it makes financial
00:13:32.260 sense.
00:13:32.700 But I would offer you this just like we talked on the, I don't know, a couple of shows ago
00:13:37.580 about people who advertise too soon.
00:13:39.620 Okay.
00:13:40.020 If you don't really know what you're doing and you borrow money, you're just killing your
00:13:44.240 own life because you're going to lose it.
00:13:46.240 Right.
00:13:46.640 Most people borrow money and then they go spend it on marketing.
00:13:49.260 They don't even know as fucking that works or not.
00:13:51.980 And, uh, you know, they end up owing whatever the fuck they borrowed or got invested or they
00:13:56.300 go out of business and lose someone's money.
00:13:57.900 This is why there's all these brands out there with these big, uh, valuations with no proven
00:14:03.720 concept.
00:14:04.340 Right.
00:14:04.720 Because all the guys with real money are looking for that home run and they don't care if they
00:14:08.360 lose fucking three or $4 million. 0.89
00:14:10.000 Right.
00:14:10.380 And there's a lot of those guys.
00:14:11.820 All right.
00:14:12.340 There's venture capital fucking, uh, companies that are like, yeah, we'll risk 200 million.
00:14:16.640 On this potential $10 billion deal.
00:14:19.320 Right.
00:14:20.020 Okay.
00:14:20.280 So there's a lot of companies that give big money and talk about their valuation that don't
00:14:23.940 have a viable product that actually works a lot.
00:14:27.640 My recommendation would be to build a product that actually works and make the foundation
00:14:32.980 strong and make sure that all those things we talked about on the other episode, um, are
00:14:37.380 there where, you know, there's no holes in the boat and then maybe consider the money.
00:14:44.620 That's, that's what I would, that's how I would put it.
00:14:46.640 I don't know this person's situation.
00:14:50.440 I don't know anything about them.
00:14:51.420 I don't even know their fucking business.
00:14:52.700 So, but that's generally how I move guys are third and final.
00:14:58.100 And there's a lot of, there's a lot of relief knowing you don't owe anybody shit.
00:15:02.100 You know, the reason I can get on here and say the fucking shit that I say and speak freely
00:15:06.640 is because I don't owe anybody fucking anything. 0.78
00:15:10.180 There's no leverage.
00:15:12.700 In fact, most people owe me.
00:15:16.460 It's real.
00:15:17.940 Guys, Andy, our third and final question.
00:15:20.600 Uh, Andy, question number three.
00:15:22.740 I like to believe that I'm a very independent person.
00:15:25.560 Uh, my friends and family, they all know that I typically don't ask for help on most things.
00:15:31.900 Can you give me some tips to maybe change this mindset if it's necessary?
00:15:36.560 Absolutely, absolutely necessary.
00:15:38.580 Yeah.
00:15:39.080 I had dinner last night with a man.
00:15:42.000 Actually, I didn't have dinner with him.
00:15:43.620 I had him at my house, um, with a man who's 11 years older than me and probably 30 times
00:15:49.920 fucking smarter and a lot more wealthy.
00:15:52.700 I'm learning every day.
00:15:54.060 I'm asking for help every day.
00:15:55.820 I'm asking for advice every day.
00:15:57.740 I'm surrounding myself with people that know more than me at every single fucking opportunity.
00:16:02.400 And I'm fucking pretty wealthy.
00:16:06.240 So if I can ask for help, get the fuck over it.
00:16:10.760 Yeah.
00:16:11.060 If you don't ask for help, you will be broke your whole life.
00:16:13.500 If you don't ask for guidance, you will be broke your whole life.
00:16:16.140 If you don't make an active effort to put knowledge in your brain, you'd be broke your
00:16:21.060 whole life.
00:16:21.800 Period.
00:16:22.600 That's it.
00:16:23.020 And the cool thing about where we live now and how we live now is that you have people
00:16:27.820 like myself or Ed Milet or one of the fucking whoever, however, any many are that are truly 0.96
00:16:34.340 successful, who have built real shit out there teaching people.
00:16:37.720 Dude, I didn't have that shit.
00:16:39.360 That shit did not exist when I grew up.
00:16:41.540 There was books.
00:16:42.620 Like I read about Sam Walton, which is by the way, you should do, you know, I had some
00:16:47.280 Tony Robbins books, which I owe a lot to Tony Robbins.
00:16:50.660 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:51.160 Man, but like these, these, the way the information is taught now, there's no excuse to be a fucking
00:16:58.120 dumb fuck. 0.97
00:16:59.420 It's just pure laziness.
00:17:00.720 Like you're worried about playing Call of Duty or whatever fuck fantasy bullshit you guys
00:17:04.320 fuck with instead of worrying about what really matters. 0.73
00:17:07.540 Oh, that doesn't money doesn't matter. 0.82
00:17:09.180 The fuck it doesn't.
00:17:11.060 The fuck it doesn't go get some money and tell me it doesn't matter.
00:17:14.800 The only reason you say it doesn't matter is because you don't fucking have any.
00:17:17.400 That's real.
00:17:17.760 Can you talk a little bit about just removing that ego?
00:17:20.460 Cause he actually finishes up.
00:17:21.640 He says, it's not that I don't want to ask for help.
00:17:23.460 It's not that I interrupt people ever.
00:17:25.960 Huh?
00:17:26.520 What?
00:17:28.600 Huh?
00:17:29.120 You didn't even get the joke.
00:17:30.360 No, I didn't hear it.
00:17:31.940 Probably cause I was interrupting him.
00:17:35.200 Can you, uh, go ahead and read the last part.
00:17:37.580 Can you, can you, can you touch a little bit about just like breaking down that ego, that
00:17:41.280 ego wall though?
00:17:41.960 Cause he finishes up.
00:17:42.820 He says, uh, it's not that I don't want to ask for help.
00:17:45.580 I just don't want it to come off from a place of weakness.
00:17:48.940 That's your ego.
00:17:49.860 Yeah.
00:17:50.400 Bro, we're all weak.
00:17:52.100 It ain't about us.
00:17:53.540 It ain't about us.
00:17:54.840 It's about building yourself into the most, in the best example that you ever have.
00:17:58.780 So that everybody else fucking looks at you and says, Hey, look, look, what's possible.
00:18:03.360 How, how are you going to let you, you looking vulnerable or weak at some point, like keep
00:18:10.880 you from becoming who the fuck you were put here on this planet to become fulfilling your
00:18:15.320 American purpose, your human purpose, becoming a great enough example of what's possible that
00:18:21.580 people around you are inspired to do better and be better and hold a higher standard.
00:18:25.160 You're going to let some like a small little insecurity, bro.
00:18:28.760 We're all weak.
00:18:29.920 We're all fucking stupid.
00:18:31.840 All of us are guessing the best guess that we can.
00:18:34.660 The only reason I'm able to offer the advice I offer is cause I fucking, I guess wrong every
00:18:39.500 fucking time, just as much as I guess.
00:18:41.400 Right.
00:18:41.940 Every time I guessed right, there was two or three wrong guesses before that.
00:18:44.980 And I'm willing to share that with you to speed your process up.
00:18:49.660 That's it.
00:18:50.760 So like, I'm no different than any of you fuckers.
00:18:53.220 I'm fucking weak.
00:18:54.000 You're weak.
00:18:55.300 We're all weak at some point in time.
00:18:56.980 That's reality.
00:18:58.000 Get over it.
00:18:59.240 You want to become the best example of what you could be in life?
00:19:02.460 Then ask people to fucking know more than you to help.
00:19:05.760 That's get that.
00:19:08.500 It's obvious.
00:19:09.640 Yeah.
00:19:10.400 You know what I'm saying?
00:19:11.260 Bro, ego keeps people stuck where they are.
00:19:13.600 And just like humility, people have a wrong understanding of what ego is.
00:19:20.340 Like, bro, if you don't have a fucking good self, strong belief of yourself, you can't
00:19:26.420 do the shit that I do.
00:19:28.060 Like these pro athletes and you guys are like, oh yeah, they got a big ego.
00:19:31.120 No shit.
00:19:32.200 You know how hard it is to go out in front of a hundred thousand people and fucking do
00:19:35.240 what the fuck you do at a high, at the highest level possible.
00:19:37.580 If you don't think you're the shit, you can't even do it.
00:19:40.260 You can't even run onto the fucking field.
00:19:42.860 Like I can't go on the stage if I don't, bro, if I don't think I am the baddest motherfucker
00:19:48.840 on the planet, how the fuck can I go speak in front of a fucking 80,000 fucking people?
00:19:53.800 You can't do it.
00:19:54.820 So ego is necessary.
00:19:58.080 It's just understanding when to deploy the proper ego and when to pull it back and allow
00:20:04.060 yourself to understand that, you know, it's appropriate here.
00:20:08.160 It's not appropriate everywhere.
00:20:10.240 And sometimes we have to put our ego aside over here, uh, you know, on the shelf for later
00:20:15.200 so that we can download new information that improves our belief in ourself.
00:20:20.400 So then when we pull the ego off the shelf and we need it, it's even stronger and that's
00:20:25.540 how the fuck it works.
00:20:26.920 So like, it's a balance of all these things.
00:20:29.100 And there's too many average motherfuckers that haven't ever done a motherfucking thing 1.00
00:20:33.000 in their life, pointing fingers and saying, big ego, uh, to not humble motherfucker. 0.56
00:20:39.180 You guys don't know shit.
00:20:40.580 You haven't accomplished shit.
00:20:42.240 You haven't done shit.
00:20:43.380 You don't employ anybody.
00:20:44.520 You haven't built shit, but you got a motherfucking opinion about fucking everybody.
00:20:48.320 The only reason you have that opinion is because you ain't never done a motherfucking thing
00:20:52.200 and you're too stupid to know any better. 0.86
00:20:53.820 That's the truth.
00:20:54.680 It's awareness.
00:20:55.980 Their awareness is so low that they're going to point their finger at you for everything
00:20:59.700 you do different.
00:21:00.680 But listen to me, dude, because I know what the fuck I'm talking about here.
00:21:03.920 All right.
00:21:04.440 They won't get it.
00:21:05.920 They will never get it.
00:21:07.680 The average person at the, at the base level awareness will always point at people who believe
00:21:13.020 in themselves or who have dreams or who, uh, live outside the norm.
00:21:18.820 And they'll point and say, big ego or fucking, it's just like the liberals.
00:21:23.380 When they post, they say racist, it's the same shit, right?
00:21:26.980 It's the same shit.
00:21:28.020 It means nothing.
00:21:28.960 Zero.
00:21:29.180 Who's it coming from?
00:21:30.400 Right.
00:21:31.520 You have to consider the source, dude.
00:21:34.160 If you listen to them, you'll be like them.
00:21:37.180 You listen to people who you want to be like, guess what happened then?
00:21:40.820 You'd be like them.
00:21:43.400 So anyway, it's powerful shit.
00:21:45.200 I'm the best at what I do.
00:21:47.180 Fucking love it.
00:21:47.940 It is.
00:21:48.340 It's the truth.
00:21:48.920 Yeah.
00:21:49.640 So name a motherfucker out there that can fucking do this. 0.99
00:21:54.120 That's the thing.
00:21:54.820 I mean, like, I mean, that, that was the three guys.
00:21:57.260 See, now I'll put that aside.
00:21:58.400 I'll put that aside and I'll go read four or five books between now and the next fucking
00:22:02.760 next week.
00:22:03.580 Yeah.
00:22:04.280 See what I'm saying?
00:22:05.920 That's how it works.
00:22:06.900 Yeah.
00:22:07.400 I think it's cool though.
00:22:08.560 Cause like, I mean, I don't know if you guys listening.
00:22:10.620 Understand, but like, you know, Andy does not see these questions.
00:22:13.000 He doesn't, we don't talk about this shit before we start recording.
00:22:15.340 It's just, here's a fucking question. 0.85
00:22:17.340 And then fucking knowledge.
00:22:18.140 That's why whenever I go speak and get better, put me on the fucking stage in front of fucking
00:22:22.620 how it doesn't matter how many people and they have a Q and a, that's why every motherfucking 0.80
00:22:27.540 question comes to me, bro.
00:22:28.820 You know why?
00:22:29.720 Because I've actually done this shit.
00:22:31.960 I've created shit from nothing.
00:22:33.860 There's no, I'm not pretending.
00:22:35.540 Right.
00:22:35.940 There's no, I'm not pretending.
00:22:37.780 I'm not, I'm not teaching you things that I think I'm not teaching you things.
00:22:42.700 I guess a lot of people think that like I'm guessing or don't know motherfucker.
00:22:47.220 I look a lot younger than I really am and behave like I'm still fucking 13, but don't let
00:22:53.560 that fool you. 0.92
00:22:54.260 I know a thing or two.
00:22:56.320 That's real shit, man.
00:22:57.320 Cause I've seen a thing.
00:22:58.460 Exactly.
00:22:59.500 Boom, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but see,
00:23:03.820 people will hear that.
00:23:04.900 They hear me on the show.
00:23:05.940 They're like fucking ego.
00:23:07.040 Right, right, right.
00:23:07.560 But they don't realize like, bro, if you don't, how are you, how am I going to come
00:23:11.160 on this show every motherfucking week and to speak against the most powerful people on
00:23:16.660 the planet and not think I'm the shit in front of millions of people, bro. 0.70
00:23:22.240 Right, right.
00:23:23.120 Get it?
00:23:23.620 You got to have a little bit.
00:23:24.200 Yeah.
00:23:24.520 Then I fucking go sit in the locker room and I take my fucking hat off and I start to learn
00:23:30.040 some more.
00:23:31.080 And then when I come in here, I put the motherfucker on.
00:23:33.300 Yeah.
00:23:33.760 See what I'm saying?
00:23:34.460 Fuck yeah.
00:23:35.260 We all need to do that.
00:23:36.400 That's how, that's how you do it.
00:23:37.560 When it's time to execute, you know, I, I, you, you need to be confident in execution
00:23:42.880 and humble in preparation.
00:23:44.520 That's how you need to be.
00:23:45.700 I say cocky in execution.
00:23:47.520 I think cocky in execution.
00:23:49.540 I, I won't say cocky because you don't want to underestimate people, but at the top level
00:23:54.960 confidence to where that you want to fucking walk right on that motherfucking line of cocky 0.94
00:24:00.300 and confident when you're at time to execute, you want to be that motherfucker that lives 0.76
00:24:05.240 and your fucking soul that you are afraid to let fucking out because you think people will 0.99
00:24:10.180 think you're crazy.
00:24:10.560 That's who you need to be in execution time and humility time.
00:24:15.460 You need to realize that you don't know fucking shit.
00:24:17.920 And there's people like Elon Musk out here to fucking know everything, right?
00:24:22.000 Who are only fucking 10 years older than me and a million gazillion miles away in a, in 0.84
00:24:27.240 a better way.
00:24:28.260 You get what I'm saying?
00:24:29.680 Like you have to remember at the, at the humble time that bro, you're just a speck of fucking
00:24:34.480 dirt.
00:24:34.840 It's going to be gone one day.
00:24:35.820 So like you have to be able to get yourself on both lines, right?
00:24:40.520 Yeah.
00:24:41.420 You gotta be able to wear the hat.
00:24:42.320 Yes.
00:24:42.820 But, but, but what I'm saying is you have to push yourself all the way out.
00:24:46.200 You have to push yourself to the limits of confidence and also to the limits of humility
00:24:50.760 where you know, you're nothing.
00:24:53.860 You have, if you live on those two polar opposites, when it comes to creating the product that
00:24:59.520 is you, your life, you're going to do really good because you're going to execute good.
00:25:03.820 And you're also going to be, cause you're going to believe in yourself when most people
00:25:06.940 don't.
00:25:07.500 Yeah.
00:25:07.960 All right.
00:25:08.260 Cause most people are told, don't believe in yourself too much.
00:25:10.520 You don't, don't forget where you fucking came from. 0.80
00:25:12.600 Exactly.
00:25:12.940 Well, where the fuck, I don't want to fucking remember where the fuck I came from a fucker.
00:25:16.540 Right.
00:25:16.980 That's a fucking point.
00:25:19.100 Now, right now, now when I'm trying to win this fucking game or I'm walking into the
00:25:22.980 boxing ring or I'm walking on a stage, I don't want to remember where the fuck I'm
00:25:26.880 from.
00:25:27.120 You think, bro, you're just a fat little piece of shit from a gravel road as I'm willing to walk
00:25:32.660 out in a fucking battle. 0.96
00:25:33.940 What I do the fuck out of here.
00:25:35.920 You guys don't fucking get it.
00:25:38.520 It's the truth.
00:25:40.300 Every professional athlete knows exactly what I'm talking about.
00:25:43.600 They're listening right now.
00:25:44.480 Smile.
00:25:45.480 Like you.
00:25:46.020 Oh, that guy's kind of cocky.
00:25:48.880 No shit.
00:25:49.660 He's got to go out or she's got to whatever, got to go out, do what they do at the top
00:25:54.940 level of their ability in front of all kinds of fucking people, half of which want them 0.65
00:25:59.420 to fuck up. 0.96
00:26:01.020 You do.
00:26:01.580 You, if you don't believe in yourself, how the fuck can you even do that?
00:26:04.980 It's like on a basic certain, like think of like having a fucking surgeon coming in
00:26:08.560 is about to do fucking brain surgery on you. 0.96
00:26:10.380 Do you not want him walking in saying, dude, I'm the best surgeon.
00:26:12.760 I'm the best fucking dude in the fucking world.
00:26:14.360 I'm going to fucking make this person better than they ever fucking were.
00:26:19.500 Exactly.
00:26:20.580 Or the guy.
00:26:21.200 But see, you don't want him crossing that line into cocky.
00:26:23.400 Right.
00:26:23.660 And then not paying attention to what he's doing because he thinks he's so good.
00:26:27.100 There has to be substance there.
00:26:28.300 Dude.
