In this episode of Q&A, Andy and Andre talk about how to deal with the cold, the lack of sun, and how to make the most out of it all. Q&AF is a show where we talk about the news, we make fun of it, and we deduce what truth from the news that we can about the underlying problem and then tie it back to the solution which always comes back to us.

00:05:45.380 gotta sell this shit when we were little kids we were like eight we went on these uh ski trips 0.99
00:05:50.100 and my dad would take us up the mountain and we fucking know how to ski yeah and he'd be like all 0.99
00:05:54.620 right see you at the bottom so dude the first time the first time he fucking took us up the mountain 0.98
00:06:00.440 i was dude i was always like very cautious like i wasn't as good of an athlete as sal is you know
00:06:05.940 i'm saying so like i was like a little bit less coordinated and uh i was very cautious and i was
00:06:12.180 i was shy i was a shy kid and so like i was uncertain of myself and i remember i remember the
00:06:17.100 fucking day like it was because it was a huge lesson in my life uh my dad i was like all right dad so 0.87
00:06:23.120 we're gonna go to ski school and he's like oh yeah ski school yep got you signed up it's like i'm so 0.99
00:06:28.500 so we're at the bottom of the lift i'm like all right well there's a ski school right there because

00:06:36.280 time ever we were at keystone and fucking uh he's like oh no there's another one up the top 0.95
00:06:41.160 knowing your dad this dude if we pulled him in here right now he's not here because he went to pick 0.84
00:06:46.000 up enzo from golf camp yeah but like bro if we pulled him in here right now this is 100% what he 1.00
00:06:51.300 did this is how he fucking raised me and sal bro this is why i'm not afraid to get my fucking ass 1.00
00:06:55.960 beat because i know i'm gonna get better yeah you know what i'm saying and uh my dad fucking he's 0.99
00:07:01.260 like oh yeah he's like don't worry there's another ski school up the top and it's an easy way down and 0.99
00:07:05.460 i'm like all right that sounds all right we get to the fucking top we get off the fucking lift no 0.98
00:07:09.740 ski like we both fall down you know because like the first time you're getting off a lift you fall 0.98
00:07:13.380 on your fucking face and uh you know i'm like wobbling around and shit and it was a good thing 1.00
00:07:18.620 because we knew how to ice skate so we picked it up quick it's very kind of a similar thing um 1.00
00:07:23.260 but anyhow uh he's like all right see you at the bottom and we're like and he fucking goes away and like 0.96
00:07:30.740 we're like at the top of the hill bro it took us like eight hours to get to the bottom 0.98
00:07:35.540 oh i was sore as fuck bro i can remember how fucking sore i was as a little you know how sore 1.00
00:07:39.860 you know how hard you gotta get your ass beat to be sore when you're eight yeah no shit you know 1.00
00:07:43.620 i'm saying like you have to like yeah like that's a beating fuck yeah and then i remember the next day 1.00
00:07:48.340 bro uh you know it instead of taking eight hours it took an hour and then on like the third day 0.99
00:07:53.280 we were going down blues and like that's how we learned how to do shit that was always how we learned
00:07:58.040 you gotta do it yeah and it's weird because society has now uh they don't allow kids to learn 0.99
00:08:04.940 like that it doesn't seem like you know i'm saying like you have to you have to go out and like fuck 0.98
00:08:10.320 up yeah you know that's how you get better you fall down you get better you fall down you get better 0.98
00:08:14.660 you get better you get better you fall down some more you get even met and that's how you have it's
00:08:19.140 really a great metaphor for how life works bro like you guys out there in business or you guys out 0.93
00:08:24.180 there uh whatever it is you're working on you know you're gonna fuck up you're gonna make mistakes 0.97
00:08:28.860 you're gonna fucking you know fall down and what do you do you learn you get better and the next time 0.99
00:08:35.800 you know you fall down you do the same thing you just keep doing it it's like it's like the most 0.99
00:08:40.220 simple concept and at some point in time we as humans lose the ability to do that and think about
00:08:48.980 this bro like you have a you have a little girl at home yeah that's just learning to really get 0.79
00:08:53.500 around yeah what if she had quit the first three times she fucking tried to walk what if you what 1.00
00:09:00.060 if any of you you motherfuckers listening yeah had quit the first three times you fell down or that 0.99
00:09:05.840 first time you fell down hit your head on the coffee table what if you had quit trying to walk yeah 0.99
00:09:10.660 yeah like that's life dude that's really what life is in every single aspect whether it be your
00:09:17.580 relationship whether it be your business whether it be your fitness your health whether it be your
00:09:23.000 mental development literally anything any of these your spirituality any of these things it's about
00:09:29.820 it's about learning you know being willing to try falling down and getting the fuck back up with your
00:09:37.140 lesson let me let me ask you this man because you know when you think about that right like what time 0.97
00:09:43.360 do you think the fucking people quit like learn like where do they lose that 0.98
00:09:47.280 i well i think it's because you know losing sucks nobody wants to lose so would you rather like i'm 0.99
00:09:55.780 just not even gonna fucking try because my fear of losing is is more than my nah dude we're bullied 0.96
00:10:00.620 into it i think yeah i think we're bullied into it you know at when you're a little kid you know 0.97
00:10:05.500 you're told oh you know what you could be an astronaut you could be a doctor you could be
00:10:10.560 president you could be the president right and you know you go around by the time like just say
00:10:16.020 you're in first grade right and you know you're in class and you're like i'm gonna be the president
00:10:20.840 now they're saying well the usa is evil right but uh a little different now yeah but like when i was a
00:10:25.940 kid like you know being a president was something you really aspired to be yeah and uh you know but
00:10:31.260 then take that into 12th grade right like and andy for selling 12th grade walks around the hallways
00:10:36.000 saying i could be president i could be president bro i get laughed out of school 0.99
00:10:41.220 they say you say no you need to be realistic yeah that's what they say bro my my fucking guidance 0.99
00:10:46.880 counselor fucking said that yeah yeah i went to take my act and he was like you know because i was 0.99
00:10:53.980 not a very good student because i i'm very practical minded like if i don't understand how something is 0.98
00:11:00.100 going to benefit me and i'm not interested in learning it i just can't learn it yeah so i have to be like 0.53
00:11:05.200 focused on the right shit i'm exactly those people that that school fails like i'm one of 0.77
00:11:11.320 those people school failed me yeah um it it hurt me more than it helped me that's the truth yeah 0.99
00:11:16.440 einstein has this famous quote bro like if you judge a uh judge a fish's ability to climb a tree 0.95
00:11:21.040 that holds life thinking it's stupid bro that's the that was that's me yeah that was me and i learned 0.91
00:11:26.180 the difference um when i went when i my first semester of college i went to st louis university 0.96
00:11:32.400 and uh i took a political science class and the only because i registered late i took like a third
00:11:37.880 level class okay and they just like plugged me into this class um that i was like not qualified to be 0.97
00:11:44.900 in i was the only fucking student that got an a and i was like after that i was like holy fuck 0.99
00:11:51.420 because i was interested in right right shockingly enough here i am talking about this shit but 0.99
00:11:57.340 anyhow my point to all of you with all of this is is don't be afraid to get your fucking face beat in 0.99
00:12:02.420 you know take your fucking knocks no matter how hard they come get the fuck up and keep moving get 0.99
00:12:07.960 better and that's it yeah okay and if you do that uh you know eventually you're going to end up being 0.99
00:12:13.720 the guy who's skiing moguls down to black diamonds you know wonder and people like how did you learn how 0.87
00:12:19.440 to do that and you're going to be the guy saying dude i fell my ass a hundred thousand times exactly 0.71
00:12:22.940 it's just how it goes i was that's what i was going to ask you though man because it's like you know
00:12:26.460 you learn from these mistakes and ultimately the goal is to have fewer and fewer of those 0.84
00:12:31.080 fucking mistakes right sure but you know being around with you and then meeting a lot of these 0.74
00:12:36.000 other successful people there's a common denominator that i found i want you to see if you can touch on 0.99
00:12:40.440 this a little bit but it's almost like you guys embrace that shit because those failures don't 0.99
00:12:45.080 happen as often anymore when they do come it's like fuck yeah man i got a fucking i got a chance a 0.99
00:12:49.520 real another chance well look dude none like look dude if you look at everything as an opportunity 0.99
00:12:55.900 to learn and improve your skill set no matter fucking what happens like dude when i got stabbed 0.97
00:13:00.360 in the fucking face like the first two years as you guys know uh especially the first year i was very 0.99
00:13:06.220 very negative i thought my life was over uh you know my face was disfigured i was at an important 0.99
00:13:12.600 time in my life with like you know socially yeah yeah like where i was just kind of learning about 0.52
00:13:17.300 girls for real you know i'm saying and women and shit like that and uh you know it my face is the 0.98
00:13:23.020 size of a grapefruit it fucks with you you know i'm saying like you but but once i figured out that 0.99
00:13:28.480 i started seeing it as um an asset right i saw it as okay well what the fuck is good about this what's 0.99
00:13:35.420 good about it what's good about it and you know the thing that ended up being good about it actually
00:13:41.500 kind of like made my whole life you know i was instantly recognizable people remembered me yeah 0.91
00:13:47.360 it taught me perspective that no matter how bad shit is it can always be worse when i talk to that 0.74
00:13:53.160 woman in the grocery store you know like that's um you know i talked to a woman in the grocery store 1.00
00:13:59.900 changed my life who who was completely burned from top to bottom uh the story can be heard on multiple
00:14:05.580 shows but you know i'm not going to tell it here because it's a long story but the point is 0.82
00:14:08.980 is that these hard fucking things that you are going through if you see them through the right 0.87
00:14:15.440 lens will actually end up making you and i think that's an important part and i noticed that from 0.97
00:14:20.480 every successful person that i talked to like when i talked to ed my editor bro yeah when i talked to
00:14:25.460 ed my let or you know i talked to sal or i talked to chris or i talked to any of these other guys who 0.83
00:14:30.760 own these other uh you know these companies and have done really well um you know fuck any any of these 0.99
00:14:36.360 guys you know uh jocko fucking goggins like they'll all rogan they'll all fucking tell you all of them 0.99
00:14:43.360 will tell you that the hardest times in their life is when they learn the most it's when they learn the 0.99
00:14:48.880 most about themselves it's when they learn the most about everybody else and it's when they learn the
00:14:52.700 most skills and then the job for you guys is just to stand back up and go apply the skills
00:14:56.660 yeah it's that simple that's real yeah so anyway so that's the show share the show guys yeah uh so
00:15:04.040 we got some questions yeah we do got some questions man i got some good ones for you um so let's get
00:15:08.540 through these man and uh question number one actually going right from that right just these hard times
00:15:12.840 andy you've stated uh before that you know you've been through three major uh hard economic times in
00:15:19.240 business yes okay so what are some things as business owners we should be considerate of and how can
00:15:24.780 we move forward through uh this economic hard time that we're going through right now what are some
00:15:28.920 things you took away from it well the first thing that you have to understand is that it's hard on
00:15:32.880 your customers and it's hard on your employees okay um when the cost of living is up like it is
00:15:38.500 and inflation's up the way it is that's like a double a financial impact right prices go up and your
00:15:44.520 money's worth less so it's very painful when you're when you're on a limited budget and a lot of people
00:15:49.900 who are uh you know down the path of success you don't feel it the same way that it's felt by your
00:15:55.400 employees or or your your customers and without your employees and without your customers bro you 0.97
00:16:00.100 don't have shit okay so don't forget that i'm not saying i'm not telling you what to do about that 0.98
00:16:04.540 but i'm saying you should make decisions with that in mind um secondly and every hard economic time 0.99
00:16:13.140 that i've gone through in my business uh that's where we grew the most okay and the reason we were able to
00:16:18.880 grow the most during those times is because everybody else panics and decides and this is 0.99
00:16:24.900 what they think all right and this works for you by the way um in your benefit they think oh shit the 0.88
00:16:31.840 sky is falling sky is falling sky is falling and most of these business owners are not seasoned 0.99
00:16:36.700 operators they don't know and what's your natural reaction when shit goes bad it's to go into your shell 0.93
00:16:42.900 right you go to protect but that disobeys the natural law of business which is you are either 0.87
00:16:48.720 growing or you are dying there is no there is no staying still so the idea of going into your shell
00:16:56.740 and staying where you are is not even a possibility on the chessboard of success because there's enough
00:17:04.620 other people that are still trying that you will naturally regress so you have to understand
00:17:09.460 that the best way to survive in these sort of times is to actually get aggressive okay and the way you get
00:17:17.360 aggressive is not by spending more money but it's by putting more intent behind what it is that you
00:17:23.540 do do a better job take care of your customers better invest more in things that are free but take
00:17:30.300 effort because those things pay off in your word of mouth strategy all right so that's free marketing 0.81
00:17:36.820 that you'll get from just that's just free shit you can do okay now with everybody else not playing 0.88
00:17:43.400 at hand and they're not getting aggressive they're actually pulling back that means there is tons 0.80
00:17:49.000 of opportunity for you to gobble up market okay now you may not be equipped monetarily to go out and
00:17:56.240 spend a lot of money on advertising so how do you do this you have to do guerrilla marketing these are
00:18:01.640 things like these are little things like you know doing free of free seminars uh going door to door 0.99
00:18:09.020 uh basically you have to get fucking creative okay you guys honestly are lazy as fuck yeah okay uh you guys 0.99
00:18:16.900 don't want to do the fucking shit that it really takes and you know the first fucking three years of my 0.99
00:18:21.900 business the only fucking marketing that we had was me going door to door and introducing myself and guess 0.99
00:18:28.320 what that did not only did it bring us people but it also taught me people skills so there was a double 0.96
00:18:34.820 benefit to doing this and a lot of you guys are so afraid of actually getting out and getting your
00:18:38.880 hands dirty that it keeps you from learning the skills that you need to know to win all right so
00:18:44.540 when it comes to these uh these these times where you know the economy's weak and people are buying less
00:18:52.620 uh because they can't they can't buy more it depends like there's no solid answer on this question
00:18:58.160 because i don't know what this person does because it's different for everyone but the best thing is is to
00:19:03.300 have the right mentality and the right mentality is to understand that there's a massive opportunity
00:19:07.440 for you to grow and to run through the recession and then come out the other side sprinting
00:19:13.220 okay um a lot of people also the reason opportunities come during these times is because a lot of people
00:19:19.840 are overextended financially they have to cut that off which creates opportunity for things like property
00:19:25.640 uh commercial or residential there's all kinds of things that happen in a recession
00:19:30.900 that when someone is positioned properly and they understand what's happening and how to net and
00:19:36.300 they have the courage to do it they actually come out the other side a big winner and i've been
00:19:40.340 fortunate enough um for that to be the case with our companies every single time we went through one of
00:19:45.480 these things uh the 2008 you know situation that happened a lot of you guys weren't old enough to
00:19:51.560 really understand but you know we we grew a hundred percent like five years in a row because we just got
00:19:57.560 really good at doing things that took effort that didn't take money and guess what those things we
00:20:04.400 learned during that time are still things that we try to live by the here today in our culture they
00:20:09.720 don't go away just because it's not raining no more yeah but you know and and obviously as you get bigger
00:20:14.220 you know it's harder to maintain that personal touch but i think for a big-ass company we do a pretty
00:20:19.320 fucking great job at it you know what i'm saying uh so but that didn't come from good times that came 0.99
00:20:26.120 from hard times right that came from the times when we fucking we didn't have shit and we had to get 0.99
00:20:30.960 creative so if you're going through a hard time right now you should be glad and you should be 0.98
00:20:36.040 asking yourself what skills is this going to teach me it'll serve me later not oh man you know what i'm 0.86
00:20:41.060 just going to write it out that's just an excuse for you to not do shit that's the truth and then those 0.93
00:20:46.720 are the same people that are telling stories five years from now saying oh yeah i had this business 0.91
00:20:51.380 but the economy got me recession got yeah and then there's still a guy there's a guy right next to him 0.95
00:20:55.860 who was also in business who's worth five times as much it's a fucking choice guys it's a choice 0.97
00:21:01.800 if you have it in your heart and you're willing to pay the fucking price you could push through 0.97
00:21:06.620 and you'll be better off for it that's what i'm going to do i would consider doing it as well 0.97
00:21:12.340 yeah let's walk around uh any question number two uh you we've talked uh especially i mean especially
00:21:20.040 recently about the idea this idea of humility right and your personal self as a business owner
00:21:26.280 how do you go about instilling and teaching your employees to practice humility and to be humble
00:21:31.360 well look man um i think people you know i think a lot of people misinterpret humility you know i
00:21:41.940 think it's it's framed the wrong way in culture it's framed like living a quiet little meek uh i'm a
00:21:48.200 nothing i own nothing i'm not successful um and people use that as an excuse a lot of people use 0.85
00:21:54.480 that as an excuse as to why they haven't executed well i don't need all that shit because i'm a humble 0.99
00:21:58.740 person right okay like that's not real bro you're not fooling anybody all right let's stop that shit 0.99
00:22:03.960 you could be humble and be successful and you could be humble and be not successful too um the real 0.98
00:22:10.480 humility is really not even about anything other than you understanding that there's always a long
00:22:17.300 way to go there's always more you can do and you're no better than any other single person on this
00:22:22.980 planet and you have the opportunity every single day to contribute to everything else and that's
00:22:28.720 actually the key to becoming financially successful too yeah because when you contribute to other
00:22:32.880 people they pay you money for it okay um that's how business works there's a big misunderstanding about
00:22:39.720 how business works they think it's the you have to take advantage of people um when you operate a
00:22:47.500 business you can't sustain a business in today's techno technological environment without being pretty
00:22:54.620 fucking good yeah okay are you gonna miss things sometimes yeah you know that's the reality you 0.72
00:23:01.380 learn and move forward but the point is is that consistently you have to deliver high value and you 0.98
00:23:07.340 have to be what you say you will or you won't survive you know this isn't 19 fucking 85 where there was no 0.98
00:23:13.940 fucking internet and it took two years for the word to get around that you sucked right it happens instant 0.89
00:23:18.860 now right okay so the only way you can really build a big company or build big financial success is 0.99
00:23:24.600 having the humility to learn how to be better and to take every situation that happens and learn from
00:23:30.660 it and move forward with that new skill okay our company at while i'm proud of what we've done so far 0.86
00:23:37.080 we're fucking we're a booger on the nose of companies like amazon right you know what i'm saying like 0.97
00:23:42.360 we're a booger to fucking nike like we're an annoyance we're not you know like we're still nothing 1.00
00:23:47.620 right right right like and people see where we are and they think oh i have a fucking bro if you 0.98
00:23:52.620 really know what i thought about what we're doing here i'm actually you know i'm in reality i'm proud 0.94
00:23:59.240 because i think we do a great job but you know as far as like how far along i am i'm embarrassed
00:24:04.200 we're not a lot further and that's that's not a that's not on everybody else that's on myself like i
00:24:10.300 think about all the time i wasted thinking i knew shit that i didn't know you know i think about all the 0.71
00:24:14.800 time i wasted uh thinking i was a big deal when i really wasn't yeah you see what i'm saying and 0.89
00:24:19.720 those are the kind of things where humility serves you humility doesn't serve you when you sit at home 0.86
00:24:24.680 and say i don't need to be successful because i'm humble that's bullshit that's society framing it that
00:24:31.940 way so you grow up to be a good little worker bee okay true humility is understanding how small of a 0.82
00:24:38.140 spec you are and understanding how insignificant you really are and still going at it every 0.96
00:24:44.880 fucking day as hard as you can because you know that it sets the standard for other people to follow 0.97
00:24:49.360 that will make their fucking life better that's humility yeah okay so you know as far as like tools 0.99
00:24:56.460 of teaching people humility i would i would say you're the teacher i would say you should be the 0.98
00:25:03.760 one preaching the message i said you should learn the most you can about humility and talk to your
00:25:08.920 team about it consistently about what it really means there is no hack to that yeah you have to
00:25:13.480 practice it you have to think about it you have to talk about it because without open conversation
00:25:18.380 i doubt very many people even thought about humility the way i think about humility in that percent
00:25:23.240 nah you see what i'm saying yeah but that but but whenever i say this in front of a thousand people 0.62
00:25:28.020 they're all right now in their head like holy shit yeah right so like dude you have to remember 0.57
00:25:31.980 people use humility as a shield to why they're better than you when you've become successful 1.00
00:25:38.840 you see what i'm saying you can't let that shit bother you bro no just be you can be super fucking 0.99
00:25:44.040 humble and and fucking winning the financial game yeah you know and plus i could tell you when you win 0.99
00:25:51.120 the financial game you could do a lot more really good shit for people so you know don't let the false 0.99
00:25:57.400 humility fucking get you clouded yeah you know what i'm saying like learn how it's learn how things 0.99
00:26:02.000 serve you learn uh how much more you need to know remind yourself how you know on the good times when 1.00
00:26:08.580 shit's really good and you're kicking ass try to remind yourself like i'm still a booger on somebody's 0.99
00:26:13.480 nose fuck yeah you know what i'm saying okay and is that conversation the same for like let's say you 1.00
00:26:17.580 know uh an established company that had you know hiring new people every fucking day and these new people 0.99
00:26:22.620 didn't go through you know the building blocks they didn't see the just yeah that's why that's
00:26:27.520 why you have to learn the concept like in depth and be able to talk to your people about it because 0.98
00:26:33.260 there is this shit isn't where the fuck is that written right right okay so you have to become the 0.97
00:26:39.640 teacher like this is a big problem with entrepreneurship in general like a lot of you 0.99
00:26:43.760 guys email in shit and you ask about like for hacks and tools and this and that bro if you just learn 0.99
00:26:49.720 the shit like in and out to where you could teach it you'll become the fucking expert on humility for 1.00
00:26:55.280 your whole team you know or whatever you want to talk about yeah you know they're like stop trying 1.00
00:27:00.400 to like stop trying to take somebody's info and feed it to your team you know like take andy for
00:27:06.560 sell is this yeah and then say hey guys i you know andy for sell is this instead what i want you to do 0.97
00:27:14.080 is to take the shit learn it and then teach it from your own voice to them because that's what's 0.95
00:27:19.000 really going to stick to them not you passing off uh you know like take ed my let's book and uh 0.99
00:27:25.080 absorb the information and learn it so good that you can teach it right and then teach it to your 0.85
00:27:30.820 fucking team and then if they want to read the book they can read the book right that's how you 0.99
00:27:35.380 should be doing it this whole thing of like you guys passing personal development shit from from the 1.00
00:27:41.920 author or the creator uh to your employees and like you you're missing a golden opportunity there
00:27:48.060 to become the teacher and the mentor and the leader just by you learning the information and
00:27:53.400 teaching it okay yeah people bro people miss big opportunity there and you you could credit those
00:27:59.980 people and say hey you know i learned this from this or i learned i try to do that as much as possible 0.91
00:28:03.680 but at the end of the day bro there's only so much shit out there and it's like a law like there's
00:28:09.520 there's there's the the the components of success are consistent and if you want to be and like a lot 0.96
00:28:16.680 of guys doing podcasts you guys should follow this rule too okay doing success coaching and all this
00:28:21.600 shit that some of you shouldn't even be doing but i'm gonna tell you how to be good at it at least
00:28:25.580 learn the information and teach it in your own voice you know what i'm saying try to quit trying to 0.99
00:28:30.540 quit missing the opportunity it's like a hack don't be verbatim yeah no bro it's like a hack it's like 0.93
00:28:36.120 okay well i don't want to really learn it myself so hey guys just read some emmy let's shit like 0.94
00:28:40.760 that's good they'll probably get better but they're going to get better than you and just 0.99
00:28:44.800 fucking leave you know there's not going to be a bond created there because you show them how to 0.98
00:28:50.360 improve because you understand the content so fucking well that's what you should be shooting for 0.99
00:28:55.500 that's real man that's real guys our third and final question uh andy question number three
00:29:01.920 uh you said before that you started and failed eight businesses before getting one business to
00:29:08.440 be successful uh how did you continue to believe that your business would be successful after 10
00:29:13.640 years of making almost nothing what was the difference uh with the business that took off
00:29:18.080 versus the other eight that failed what what was the biggest change for you there was only one
00:29:22.100 difference it was that i was at a point in my life where i had no other options that was the only
00:29:27.420 difference when i failed those eight businesses before they were you know baseball card shop 0.97
00:29:33.240 fucking lemonade stand like i'm talking basic shit light bulbs door to door like you know uh some other 1.00
00:29:40.460 things that you know we're we're not going to talk about you know i'm saying like just like just stupid 1.00
00:29:46.140 shit and um i was never successful at any of those things because um i and by the way that doesn't 0.99
00:29:57.300 mean drugs i'm just talking i want to clarify no cartel shit no it doesn't i wasn't i was a good kid 0.98
00:30:03.080 yeah okay my parents didn't i didn't you know did i smoke some weed yeah do i still smoke some weed 0.97
00:30:08.200 fuck yeah but i wasn't uh like i wouldn't sell that's not what i meant it's just other embarrassing 0.94
00:30:13.720 it's more embarrassing shit than anything else but anyhow um you know when i started 0.98
00:30:19.160 supplement super stores our first company with chris you know we were 19 years old and um 0.97
00:30:27.260 you know we were adults um all those other times you know i still was i could still go home at night
00:30:34.920 um and and so there was more i didn't really have an option okay and i really wasn't good at
00:30:43.460 school i didn't have any other interests than running businesses um i knew that was what i wanted
00:30:49.980 to do but i i guess dude i really think that's the only difference the difference was like i just
00:30:58.260 couldn't quit because i fucking couldn't quit you know what i'm saying and that's why i talk so much 0.95
00:31:02.880 about and i i try to maintain that mentality today like i try to remember like bro like i know this 0.97
00:31:10.380 sounds fucking stupid from where i'm coming from today but in my mind i tell myself every day i'm 1.00
00:31:17.420 like bro if you don't get out of bed and go fucking do your shit you're gonna be digging fucking ditches 1.00
00:31:21.940 which is absurd for me to say like it's absurd knowing where you yeah yeah from where i'm standing 1.00
00:31:27.580 now telling yourself you're gonna lose it all and i'm not disrespecting anybody to dig his ditches
00:31:31.480 because that's what i did before this right right right okay i just don't want to do it it's just 0.99
00:31:34.860 fucking hard you know what i'm saying yeah and and i'm kind of a pussy with that shit just being 1.00
00:31:39.520 real i don't like that kind of hard work yeah for real yeah like i did enough of it growing up yeah 0.99
00:31:44.580 you know i'm all very thankful for my my uh my parents um both of them for making me do things
00:31:50.800 that were hard like that but uh but yeah dude it's zero option mentality bro like if you if you adopt
00:31:56.760 that's what i talk about zero compromise zero options right these are things that you have to 0.98
00:32:03.100 implant in your brain like your back is against the fucking wall bro you know i'm saying so there 0.98
00:32:08.700 is no other choice for me like there is no other choice like when i talk about where we're gonna 1.00
00:32:12.720 go with first swarm there's no fucking i'm not there's no fucking options like that's what the 0.98
00:32:16.420 fuck we're doing yeah like we're doing that that's it and it will get there and no matter what comes in 0.99
00:32:23.440 front of that it doesn't matter because i'm gonna be here every day fucking doing it um and so is 0.99
00:32:28.180 everybody else here you know what i'm saying yeah and so whatever it is you do whether whether 0.96
00:32:34.380 it's you know you're on 75 hard or you're on some other program that requires discipline like a regular 0.98
00:32:40.400 diet or whatever fucking whatever for an iron man you're training for iron man you're fucking uh 0.99
00:32:44.620 you're you're fucking building a business you're you're building a podcast you're fucking uh i don't 1.00
00:32:50.100 know whatever it is the fuck you do right pick where it is you want to go and and make it a 1.00
00:32:56.520 non-negotiable thing like i'm this is what the fuck i'm doing yeah and then show up every day 0.99
00:33:00.820 with that same attitude like i'm doing this i'm doing this and that's that's you know that zero
00:33:06.920 options mentality that's part of the benefit of the live hard program you know which you can find for
00:33:12.340 free at uh uh episode 80 okay it's free but that's part of the benefit of what you learn through that
00:33:18.700 program is you learn like dude i have to fucking do this i have no fucking options or i fail yeah and bro 0.99
00:33:26.420 i'm not willing to accept failure i'm not so so in my life i'm not willing to accept going back to 0.94
00:33:31.840 dig ditches you understand yeah so so so in live hard the failure of the program is equivalent to me 0.94
00:33:39.360 going back and digging ditches in real life so i'm willing to show up every motherfucking day and do 0.99
00:33:44.340 whatever the fuck i gotta do okay learn every day whatever the fuck whatever whatever the fuck it 0.99
00:33:49.800 takes we are fucking getting there and that's in every project i take on that's why i don't invest 0.99
00:33:55.160 in a hundred different companies because i i can only operate one way and only have so much 0.94
00:33:59.540 bandwidth for that that's why i can only do so many projects you see what i'm saying right right
00:34:04.440 right dude it makes me think too because i feel like it's like once people give themselves a plan b
00:34:11.340 and put that safety net down right like no matter how big you thought out plan b plan b in your mind
00:34:17.680 it's plan b the problem with plan b bro and people get so upset when i say this but the problem with
00:34:24.520 plan b is that it gives you options and that's the problem yeah you cannot win at a big goal or a 0.61
00:34:32.320 difficult uh lifelong mission having options because it's going to get so fucking hard bro that you're 0.92
00:34:39.140 going to take it at some point yeah if you have one just to stop the pain that's right yeah there can
00:34:44.300 be no fucking options and people get so upset and they take it literally like oh well this guy's a 1.00
00:34:49.840 fucking idiot like of course you got to have this yeah coming from the motherfucker that took the 1.00
00:34:55.040 fucking plan b right right you know what i'm saying right like bro i'm just telling you shit's going to be 1.00
