00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realists, say goodbye
00:00:20.600 to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:24.160 reality.
00:00:24.720 Guys, today we have Q&A F, this is where you get a chance to submit the Q's and I give
00:00:29.980 you the AFs.
00:00:31.180 These questions can be about anything.
00:00:33.280 They can be about personal development, business, how to win, how to kick ass, what's going on
00:00:37.740 in the world, what do I think of this or that.
00:00:39.640 Happy to answer your questions.
00:00:41.480 You can submit those questions and I ask that you do because when you hit them in the DMs,
00:00:46.560 bro, I can't answer your individual questions.
00:00:49.060 Neither can the guys here who run my Instagram at least 75% of the time.
00:00:53.340 It's just too many.
00:00:54.060 So submit them here on the show, make them good and I'll answer them because everybody's
00:00:58.900 probably, well, not everybody, but multiple people probably have the same question that
00:01:03.320 you have.
00:01:03.820 So DJ, where can they submit those questions?
00:01:07.080 Guys, email those questions in to askandy at andyfriscilla.com.
00:01:10.240 That's DJ.
00:01:11.060 Hello, children.
00:01:11.640 My handsome co-host.
00:01:12.560 Aw.
00:01:13.060 What's up, bro?
00:01:13.720 What's going on, man?
00:01:14.280 Uh, stop interrupting me.
00:01:17.440 I'm trying to do the intro.
00:01:18.860 Okay.
00:01:19.160 Other times, whenever you, uh, whenever you tune in, we have CTI, CTI is cruise the internet.
00:01:25.140 That's a, we put topics up on the screen and then we talk about them.
00:01:29.100 We talk about what may be true, what probably isn't true.
00:01:31.760 Um, how we can individually be the collective solution to these problems, because there is
00:01:38.240 no one person that can solve any of these problems going on in the world.
00:01:40.920 It's a collective effort in our day-to-day lives every single day.
00:01:45.360 And that's the point of CTI.
00:01:46.920 Then sometimes we have real talk.
00:01:48.340 Real talk is five to 20 minutes of real talk.
00:01:50.820 Okay.
00:01:51.540 Uh, and then there's full length and full length is similar to what you guys, uh, will
00:01:55.400 see on maybe like Rogan or some of these other great interview podcasts, uh, except
00:01:59.320 I'm not as great of an interviewer, but that's what we try to do.
00:02:02.620 We try to do an interview.
00:02:03.680 I call it a conversation.
00:02:05.260 It's the finer things.
00:02:06.580 You know what I'm saying?
00:02:07.480 Yeah.
00:02:08.120 You know?
00:02:08.740 Right.
00:02:09.160 Yeah.
00:02:09.480 Right.
00:02:09.720 Right.
00:02:10.920 Did you get that?
00:02:12.240 I got it.
00:02:12.880 You didn't laugh though.
00:02:13.640 No, I know I did internally.
00:02:15.180 Just wasn't that funny.
00:02:16.000 Yeah.
00:02:16.580 All right.
00:02:16.840 That's fine.
00:02:17.340 I don't, I can't win them all.
00:02:18.660 All right.
00:02:19.540 So what's happening, bro?
00:02:20.840 Oh, we do have a fee.
00:02:21.860 Oh, there is a fee.
00:02:22.560 The fee for the show.
00:02:24.020 Um, and also remember guys, these shows are on YouTube now.
00:02:28.500 Uh, we've been audio exclusive for eight and a half years and now we're to a point where
00:02:34.080 it's, uh, we're on YouTube.
00:02:35.320 So full length episodes on YouTube, uh, audio episodes everywhere.
00:02:39.780 Audio episodes are available.
00:02:41.040 That's of relevance.
00:02:42.400 And, uh, we ask that if you find value in the show that you please share the show.
00:02:46.720 That's it.
00:02:47.580 I don't run ads on the show.
00:02:49.000 I don't leverage myself by, um, signing up with companies that want me to promote their
00:02:54.980 shit.
00:02:55.240 But, uh, I don't want to, I don't want you guys to ever believe that I'm like saying things
00:03:00.060 because these other people say I can or cannot.
00:03:02.180 And I asked just, you know, in exchange for that and the value that we provide here that
00:03:06.440 you share the show, man, tell a friend, talk about it, help us grow the show.
00:03:10.260 That's how we grow.
00:03:11.060 We grow organically.
00:03:11.860 It's value exchange.
00:03:12.780 That's what I believe in.
00:03:13.900 If I do good, I get a good return.
00:03:16.680 That's it.
00:03:17.220 And I think that's fair.
00:03:18.240 So that's when I say pay the fee, that just means tell somebody.
00:03:21.200 Yeah.
00:03:21.680 Anyway.
00:03:22.260 Yeah.
00:03:22.740 So what's up, man?
00:03:23.280 Don't be a hoe.
00:03:24.420 Share the show.
00:03:24.980 Yeah.
00:03:25.200 That's right.
00:03:25.860 Yeah.
00:03:26.660 Yeah.
00:03:26.860 What's going on, man?
00:03:27.500 Christmas is almost here.
00:03:29.820 You excited?
00:03:30.800 I'm ready to stuff some stockings.
00:03:32.420 Yeah.
00:03:32.580 I'm saying.
00:03:33.200 Oh yeah.
00:03:35.600 Are you, have you always been a big like holiday person?
00:03:39.180 You know, uh, when we were growing up.
00:03:42.940 Yeah, for sure.
00:03:43.760 I mean like, you know, I, I think holidays as a kid, you know, I had good holidays.
00:03:48.060 I remember, you know, we, we, we always had a good Christmas and, um, we, we got to go
00:03:55.840 to see our cousins and we ran around and played and did all that, you know, it was fun.
00:03:59.100 And, you know, um, it's a little different these days just because you're older and, you
00:04:04.440 know, I mean, like we don't have Santa ain't fucking real.
00:04:07.080 Yeah.
00:04:07.420 I mean, I'm saying I'm like, I'm saying for everybody, 24, fucking seven, three 65, dude.
00:04:14.100 Right.
00:04:14.380 So like, it's, uh, you know, it's different.
00:04:17.500 I like it though.
00:04:18.800 You know, it's, um, I mean, dude, honestly, I should appreciate it more like real talk.
00:04:24.700 Like I should do more things and I'm trying to do more things, especially as I'm realizing
00:04:29.580 like the importance of celebrating holidays because of how they've done.
00:04:35.360 Yes.
00:04:35.820 They've tried to make us like denounce our own holidays.
00:04:39.360 Like 4th of July, if you fly the flag and be patriotic, you get called and you've gotten
00:04:45.140 called names for the last fucking five or six years.
00:04:48.420 And it's, and now we're finding out because of what Elon Musk is exposing that all those
00:04:53.780 people that called you names and shit, we're all fucking bots or Twitter employees promoting
00:04:58.620 a fake narrative.
00:04:59.360 So like I'm starting to realize, and I've started to realize over the last few years
00:05:03.940 that the cultural demoralization relies heavy on making the holidays irrelevant for most
00:05:10.180 people.
00:05:10.660 And so I've tried to be where we're in the past.
00:05:15.520 Maybe I've skipped holiday parties or not gone to things, um, because I didn't think they
00:05:20.120 were that important.
00:05:20.780 I've been trying to really be better about that.
00:05:25.020 Yeah.
00:05:25.340 Yeah.
00:05:25.640 You know what I mean?
00:05:26.100 Intentional with them.
00:05:26.800 Yeah.
00:05:27.140 Because dude, you know, it does matter and it may not matter that much for me right now,
00:05:31.620 but like when I go around my nieces and nephews on both sides of the family, like that shit's
00:05:36.160 important, bro.
00:05:36.760 Like they're going to remember that and like that, you know, so I guess like it goes along,
00:05:40.720 you know, with me becoming more mature, um, I'm a slow, I'm a slow, maturing human.
00:05:47.040 All right.
00:05:47.580 That's just the truth.
00:05:48.420 Um, I still think farts are pretty fucking funny.
00:05:51.900 I don't know if that, like I'm just being real.
00:05:55.420 That's where I'm at.
00:05:56.340 Does that make you immature?
00:05:57.500 I don't know.
00:05:58.500 I don't know.
00:05:59.340 I actually just think it's funny.
00:06:01.420 I don't, I don't fucking know.
00:06:02.840 Unless they smell like the inside of an asshole.
00:06:04.960 That's not funny at all.
00:06:06.500 Well, it depends on who's asshole.
00:06:08.060 It's true.
00:06:08.820 If it's yours, it smells pretty good.
00:06:10.960 Wait, wait.
00:06:12.440 You don't like to smell your own shit?
00:06:13.480 If it's mine?
00:06:13.940 No, if you, you don't think your own, like dude, when I smell my farts, if it's like a real
00:06:17.140 bad one, I'm like, I'm like, Oh, you're proud.
00:06:19.740 There's a sense of pride there.
00:06:20.860 I take fucking pride in that shit, bro.
00:06:22.960 I'm excellence all the way around, bro.
00:06:24.860 It's 360 excellence.
00:06:26.880 All right.
00:06:27.300 I want it to be dirty.
00:06:28.440 Oh, yeah.
00:06:29.160 Yeah.
00:06:30.080 But if anybody else is, it's a problem.
00:06:32.280 Right.
00:06:32.540 Yeah.
00:06:32.680 Get the fuck away from me.
00:06:33.500 Yeah.
00:06:33.700 That's fucking wrong with you.
00:06:34.580 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:35.860 Isn't everybody like that?
00:06:38.260 Maybe it's an American thing.
00:06:41.620 If that doesn't make you want to share the show, I don't know what it was.
00:06:45.820 I mean, dude, this is high quality.
00:06:47.340 This is high quality, in-depth content happening right here, bro.
00:06:50.300 Yeah.
00:06:50.340 From holidays to gas.
00:06:52.520 Yeah.
00:06:52.820 Yeah.
00:06:53.100 I love it.
00:06:53.740 Anyway.
00:06:54.360 Well, Andy, I do got some good ones for you.
00:06:57.480 You always do.
00:06:58.340 Knock these out, man.
00:06:59.240 Andy, question number one.
00:07:01.100 Andy, I've been in the National Guard for seven years, and I have three years left on my
00:07:06.000 contract.
00:07:06.460 But this past summer, they told me to turn my gear in and said not to come to drill
00:07:11.100 anymore, and they were releasing me due to not taking the COVID vaccine.
00:07:15.340 Now that the tides have shifted, they are dropping all the COVID mandates, and they want
00:07:19.540 me to come back.
00:07:21.040 What the hell do I do?
00:07:22.640 Go back.
00:07:23.540 Do I go back with appreciation of them dropping it, or do I just tell them to fuck off?
00:07:28.100 Well, I would probably take my job back.
00:07:31.520 I think it's important for all the members of the military and the police force to
00:07:36.460 who were let go or fucked with to go back.
00:07:42.100 And I know that might not sound like the right thing for you guys, but here's why I think
00:07:46.340 it's important.
00:07:46.960 Number one, I think eventually you'll probably end up getting some sort of back pay or reward,
00:07:55.320 punitive reward for what they've done.
00:07:57.680 We're seeing the process of that starting, and those things in our legal system take time.
00:08:02.320 So that's the first thing.
00:08:04.480 But I think the more important thing to think about is that those of you guys of the police
00:08:09.980 and the military and the fire and all of these nurses and all these important positions that
00:08:16.340 were forced out for noncompliance, you guys are actually the critical thinkers of those
00:08:21.600 situations.
00:08:22.280 And in my opinion, the reason that that was forced through so hard, and I think this will
00:08:27.600 come out eventually, is that they wanted to remove the dissenting voices to their agenda,
00:08:35.240 knowing that if they got rid of all the people that were willing to stand up to the point of losing
00:08:39.940 their job, that they would have a much more compliant force to work with, especially regarding
00:08:44.480 the police and the military.
00:08:46.060 And so I think it's very important for you guys who did make that stand, if you're available
00:08:50.980 to go back in, because without you, who the fuck's going to stand up for the next tyrannical
00:08:55.980 thing that they did?
00:08:57.200 So that's where my, I can't make this call for you because your life is your life, but
00:09:03.040 I'm saying from an outside perspective, 30,000 foot view of what I've been observing for the
00:09:08.620 last few years, I think it's important for you guys who maybe got forced out and like,
00:09:12.580 bro, you might be sitting there being like, well, yeah, fuck them.
00:09:14.640 And I understand that too.
00:09:16.220 Yeah.
00:09:16.480 I'm going to say there's, there's definitely a bad taste in the mouth, right?
00:09:19.220 But I think, but I think we're at a pivotal point in history where we are going to need
00:09:23.600 those kinds of people to stand up from within these organizations.
00:09:28.300 And I think if you guys all fucking bail out and find new work and this and that and this,
00:09:33.640 I mean, we're kind of in a much shittier position as a country.
00:09:38.260 Yeah.
00:09:38.500 And so I think the right thing to do, all things equal would be to go back, let this
00:09:46.800 play out.
00:09:47.860 Okay.
00:09:48.340 And then also understand how important it is to have people like you guys in those, in
00:09:52.620 those situations.
00:09:53.560 Yeah, yeah, for sure, dude.
00:09:55.000 I think that service part, like a lot of people don't understand how critically important that
00:09:59.540 is.
00:10:00.240 You know what I'm saying?
00:10:01.060 Cause like when you look at the percentage of people that, you know, are serving, whether
00:10:04.340 that's military or involved in first responders, like compare it to the masses, it's a very
00:10:08.860 small percentage of people, right?
00:10:10.940 And if the, if the percentage of the people that are serving, we cut that in half, let's
00:10:16.020 say, right.
00:10:16.760 You're only left with, with people that can install the tyrannical shit, right?
00:10:20.300 Like the service part is a massive obligation.
00:10:22.340 I think a lot of people miss out on.
00:10:23.780 Also, dude, I saw, uh, I had a guy, I had a guy message me about the show that we did,
00:10:29.320 uh, last Saturday with Ian Smith, where I talked about raising the police officers pay.
00:10:34.760 And he said, well, dude, look, most of us don't do this for pay.
00:10:38.420 Well, Hey, dumb ass.
00:10:39.700 Um, I'm arguing that you should get paid like five times more.
00:10:42.520 Just shut up.
00:10:43.000 Yeah.
00:10:43.300 So like, I'm not saying that you do it for money, right?
00:10:46.540 I'm saying that you deserve a lot more money.
00:10:48.820 And if we did pay a lot more money, we would attract better.
00:10:53.340 Yes.
00:10:53.800 Because bro, the reason the police force, see when I was growing up, dude, you, you,
00:10:59.320 being a police officer was like a huge fucking honorable thing to want to be.
00:11:04.340 And we don't have that anymore.
00:11:06.160 And the reason we don't have that anymore is because they've culturally made it a non-desirable
00:11:12.120 profession, right?
00:11:13.380 Well, if you have a non-desirable profession, that's extremely hard to execute on every single
00:11:17.280 day, because dude, look, being a police officer ain't that much fun.
00:11:20.640 These motherfuckers get yelled at.
00:11:22.020 They deal with the fucking shittiest part of society.
00:11:24.580 They're fucking constantly dealing with people who are fucking drunk and out of line and
00:11:29.200 mentally ill.
00:11:30.020 And like, bro, you guys wonder why some of these guys are so fucking pissed off all the
00:11:34.460 time.
00:11:34.740 Well, you would be too, if you dealt with what they deal with.
00:11:37.500 But if the career was actually a well-rewarded career financially, which could easily be done
00:11:43.840 if these people were not stealing our money, as I described on the show from Saturday, we
00:11:49.900 would, we would be able to get people to go in there and, and have a higher quality human
00:11:55.560 being doing these jobs.
00:11:57.280 Okay.
00:11:57.720 And that gives us a standard now.
00:12:00.180 All right.
00:12:00.800 Where the job is valued by the people doing it at a much higher level, because dude, you're
00:12:06.560 making a lot more money.
00:12:07.900 So it's a more valuable career, which means that we can hold a higher standard inside the
00:12:14.080 police force and push some of these fucking shit bags out that are making the whole entire
00:12:19.500 police look like shit.
00:12:21.000 Okay.
00:12:21.520 Because there will be enough people that desire the job that we don't have to have those,
00:12:27.200 those kind of cancerous, weak, uh, abuses, abuse of a power type police officers.
00:12:33.280 Ego guys.
00:12:33.840 Yeah.
00:12:34.060 Like, dude, those people go automatically.
00:12:35.780 You can let go of them.
00:12:36.940 The reason they aren't let go of now is because you guys can't find enough people to do the
00:12:40.540 fucking job.
00:12:41.260 Cause nobody is going to willing to work for the local.
00:12:43.940 Yeah.
00:12:44.060 So like, you know, I'm an entrepreneur.
00:12:45.880 I know how to solve fucking problems like this.
00:12:48.140 So, and when I say you guys deserve more money, the dumbest thing you could do is
00:12:51.500 argue with me about it because I'm actually creating the narrative out there on the big
00:12:55.740 fucking stage that this should be something that people will should push for.
00:12:59.580 So please don't take it personally.
00:13:01.440 I understand that most cops are fucking really good, good people, both men and women that
00:13:05.840 do the job.
00:13:06.400 It's a thankless job.
00:13:07.380 These are special kinds of people.
00:13:08.540 This is why I deserve, why I think they deserve a much better career.
00:13:13.380 Yeah.
00:13:13.860 No, that's real, man.
00:13:14.920 So go back, go back and do it.
00:13:17.220 Yeah.
00:13:17.400 I think that's the right thing to do.
00:13:19.360 All things consider where we are right now.
00:13:21.500 I can tell you this, dude.
00:13:22.640 If I ever, if I was ever fucking president, like real talk, like real, and I know some
00:13:26.880 of you guys laugh at that shit, but like, bro, I'm young.
00:13:29.200 I'm 43.
00:13:30.580 We got time.
00:13:31.580 Dude, what happened?
00:13:32.440 Where am I going to be when I'm 63?
00:13:34.380 Okay.
00:13:34.720 I'm just telling you, you ever put me in the fucking position that will happen.
00:13:38.120 Yeah.
00:13:38.440 And we'll have it for teachers too.
00:13:40.400 And also you won't be paying fucking taxes like you pay.
00:13:43.200 So maybe you should just hurry up and get me in there.
00:13:46.280 Just saying.
00:13:46.880 Andy, question number two, I am thinking about investing into a franchise.
00:13:54.020 It would be the first of its kind in my area.
00:13:56.660 I believe in the company's core values and the president founder has a good head on his
00:14:01.060 shoulders.
00:14:01.600 I have 60 K liquid.
00:14:03.820 Okay.
00:14:04.260 But I'll need another 500 K in business loans to cover the total cost of getting a location
00:14:09.060 started.
00:14:09.480 But what would your advice be to me in this situation?
00:14:16.320 Well, look, I don't know the details of the, of the franchise.
00:14:19.460 I mean, there's a, that's a pretty broad question.
00:14:21.960 Like, I don't know.
00:14:24.000 I haven't seen their financials.
00:14:25.800 I don't know what company you're talking about.
00:14:27.540 Like I'm taking your word for it.
00:14:29.160 If you think that it's going to work for you, um, then you should go out and get the loan
00:14:38.360 and fucking go after it.
00:14:39.340 But here's what I will say.
00:14:41.120 Do not go do this.
00:14:42.720 If you are not a hundred percent committed to making it work, this is a common misconception
00:14:47.620 that people have about business, bro.
00:14:49.560 They think that like, they're going to try things.
00:14:52.380 They're going to stick their toe in, right?
00:14:54.200 I'm going to stick my toe in the water and see how I like it.
00:14:56.520 A hundred times out of a hundred, guess what?
00:15:00.260 You ain't going to like it.
00:15:01.900 Okay.
00:15:02.280 So becoming great in business is far less about finding the right opportunity and far more
00:15:08.200 about creating the opportunity that you do have into the right opportunity.
00:15:12.500 And this is something that people mistake and, and misconstrue when it comes to starting
00:15:17.460 a business, bro.
00:15:19.400 This idea that you can quit when it gets difficult is what's holding you back.
00:15:24.420 Most people, because society has gotten so soft now, they believe that whenever things
00:15:30.540 get a little bit hard, that they should automatically just quit and change their path.
00:15:34.880 But if you become one of these people that does this, this is the exact reason why most
00:15:39.660 people never become anything because every single time, whatever it is they're trying
00:15:44.000 to do gets difficult.
00:15:45.300 They say, well, this isn't for me, bro.
00:15:47.800 So I think I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and adjust and make a career change over
00:15:50.940 here.
00:15:51.320 Well, if you do that every two fucking years or every three years, your whole entire life,
00:15:56.240 you're always going to stay within that three-year window.
00:15:59.580 This is the same analogy I use consistently about running a marathon, dude.
00:16:04.400 If you run a marathon, I'm going to go run a marathon and you only get to mile 17.
00:16:08.360 Every time you get to mile 17, your feet start hurting so bad, you fucking quit.
00:16:11.840 And then you say, I'm going to start, I'm going to start a new marathon in a week and I'm
00:16:14.780 going to make it through.
00:16:15.480 And then you get to mile 17, you quit.
00:16:17.120 You never can finish the marathon.
00:16:19.000 And so it's the mentality that I think this person needs to really consider.
00:16:24.100 It's, this is not try.
00:16:26.140 I'm not going to try.
00:16:27.460 Okay.
00:16:27.900 You should go into this with, I'm going to become the best franchisee in this organization
00:16:33.640 that has ever existed in the history of the fucking company.
00:16:37.080 And if you go in with that attitude, meaning I don't care what happens.
00:16:40.960 I don't care how hard I got to work.
00:16:42.960 I don't care how long it takes.
00:16:44.540 I don't fucking care as long as I'm going to fucking get, I am going to get where the
00:16:48.680 fuck I want to go.
00:16:49.380 No matter what, if you could go in it with that attitude, then I would say, go do it.
00:16:53.580 But if you're going at it, like I'm going to stick my toe in and try, this has the potential
00:16:57.720 to fucking financially ruin you for a very long time because you're going to go out,
00:17:01.220 you're going to get loans.
00:17:02.380 And then when you get the loan, you're going to decide in two years, you don't like it.
00:17:07.120 And now you're going to have 300 grand that you've got to fucking pay back.
00:17:09.580 And how are you going to pay it back?
00:17:10.520 So, so look, dude, this attitude, it's an, this is an attitude question.
00:17:16.080 This is not a, this is not a technical, what should I do question.
00:17:19.600 It doesn't matter if the, if the franchise is, you know, selling snow cones or if it's
00:17:26.340 fitness related or if it's food related or whatever, you can make your unit successful
00:17:32.660 within that model.
00:17:33.640 I can guarantee it.
00:17:35.060 And, and the goal should be as a franchisee to make the company, make your unit so fucking
00:17:42.280 successful that the company looks at you and says, DJ, what the fuck are you doing, bro?
00:17:46.240 This is amazing.
00:17:46.960 Right.
00:17:47.560 Right.
00:17:48.000 Now, all of a sudden you're in, you're in the question and in the conversation for the
00:17:52.440 big picture here.
00:17:53.620 So, you know, I think this is just an attitude question.
00:17:57.280 Um, and this person's asking for permission.
00:17:59.800 I can't give you permission to do this, but whatever you decide to do, you better make
00:18:04.360 sure you go at it with the all in attitude that I'm going to fucking make this work no
00:18:07.840 matter what.
00:18:08.300 And that goes for anybody out there, whether you're starting a franchise or starting a
00:18:12.000 business or whatever the fuck you're starting.
00:18:13.800 It's way too common these days for people to think that they can just go after opportunity,
00:18:20.020 after opportunity, after opportunity over the course of their life without realizing that
00:18:25.240 your lifespan is limited and it goes by very quickly.
00:18:28.800 All right.
00:18:29.620 I can tell you that I'm in my fucking forties.
00:18:32.040 All right.
00:18:33.160 Yesterday, I was fucking 19 years old, just starting this business yesterday.
00:18:37.120 Like it fucking feels like yesterday to me when I look in the mirror and I see my gray
00:18:41.140 hair and my gray beard and shit.
00:18:42.860 I'm like, what the fuck happened?
00:18:44.820 Like it's, it's, it's knees cracking and shit.
00:18:47.920 Yeah.
00:18:50.080 Fuck you, man.
00:18:50.900 But my point is, is that it goes by quick guys.
00:18:55.480 And if you go, if you continue to chase the next best opportunity, you can, you, you cannot
00:19:02.920 get anywhere because you legitimately waste your entire life in little two or three year
00:19:06.980 spans.
00:19:07.600 No, this is what most people do, bro.
00:19:09.520 And, and by the way, here's the worst part about that.
00:19:13.100 Those people work really hard for those two or three years.
00:19:16.840 And the minute that it gets difficult, like where they, they have to like push through,
00:19:21.460 that's when they're like, well, I guess this is just, this isn't for me.
00:19:24.140 And bro, that minute that you are trying to push through that one thing you're trying
00:19:28.900 to push through, there's a tremendous amount of progress on the other side of that.
00:19:32.740 But this is a societal thing that's been, that's brought been like normalized over the
00:19:37.700 last three or four years.
00:19:38.600 And you see it, dude, like these people on the internet who are like, oh, I'm just going
00:19:42.720 to buy a van and travel the fucking world.
00:19:45.220 Okay, cool.
00:19:46.260 Buy the van, travel the world, do that for two years.
00:19:48.600 But then what?
00:19:49.960 Okay.
00:19:50.360 Because here's the reality.
00:19:52.000 Most of these people are trying to escape having to do the real work.
00:19:56.920 They're looking for a way to live.
00:19:58.720 You know, I'm just going to go around and travel in Airbnbs all my life.
00:20:02.240 That's fine.
00:20:03.120 But when you're fucking 40, bro, you're going to wish you had other options besides traveling
00:20:08.160 around in your fucking van.
00:20:10.220 Right.
00:20:10.740 You see what I'm saying?
00:20:11.380 Absolutely, bro.
00:20:12.020 Like I was in the gym yesterday and I heard one of our guys tell me, actually, he didn't
00:20:16.520 tell me, he was telling one of our other guys, this is a guy, now this is a guy I really
00:20:20.280 fucking like.
00:20:21.300 And I hear, I got my headphones on, so they don't know that I don't have music on.
00:20:25.320 Right.
00:20:25.480 I put my headphones in so nobody fucking talked to me.
00:20:28.200 It's the truth.
00:20:28.960 So, but I hear him say, one guy's talking to another guy and I love these dudes.
00:20:34.840 He goes, you know what, dude, money don't mean shit to me, man.
00:20:37.140 I want the experiences of life and blah, blah, blah.
00:20:39.660 I pull my headphone out and I said, what'd you say?
00:20:42.160 And he goes, well, I want, you know, experience.
00:20:44.440 I said, hey, I said, that sounds good until you ain't got no fucking money.
00:20:48.020 To experience anything.
00:20:48.900 That's right.
00:20:49.500 Yeah, fuck yeah.
00:20:50.220 And he looked at me and he's like, yeah, I'm just saying, I said, look, let me tell
00:20:53.580 you something, dude.
00:20:54.600 These people that you see saying this shit about, I don't care about money and this and
00:20:58.800 that and this, those people will eventually care about money.
00:21:01.500 They just don't care about money right this fucking second.
00:21:03.440 Right.
00:21:03.900 Okay.
00:21:04.220 So it's very, very important.
00:21:05.780 Money is very fucking important.
00:21:07.820 Anybody that tells you money isn't important, never fucking had any, and they have no idea
00:21:11.460 what the fuck they're talking about because the experiences that money can provide are
00:21:15.820 1 million fucking percent better than the experiences that you can have with no money.
00:21:21.680 You guys like to make it like about material shit.
00:21:25.100 I'm not talking about material shit.
00:21:26.620 I'm talking about a rich, fulfilling life.
00:21:28.660 You could change mother, you could change the trajectory of motherfucking people's existence.
00:21:34.340 Legacies.
00:21:34.940 Yeah.
00:21:35.080 Yeah.
00:21:35.200 With money, dude.
00:21:36.040 You can't do that.
00:21:37.620 And by the way, there's another aspect.
00:21:39.520 And I stopped and talked to him again after this.
00:21:41.460 And I said, Hey bro, also be very careful how you talk about money.
00:21:46.220 Be very careful how you talk about money.
00:21:48.900 Because if you're saying that shit, because you think it's the cool thing to say to your
00:21:53.160 friends, that's fine.
00:21:54.700 But also God in the universe fucking hears that.
00:21:57.800 And if you verbally say, I don't care about money.
00:22:00.180 Money's not important to me.
00:22:01.100 Guess what?
00:22:01.420 You ain't going to ever fucking have.
00:22:03.440 It'll never happen.
00:22:04.920 So you need to be very careful what you think and say when it comes to money.
00:22:07.980 Money is a great fucking thing.
00:22:09.420 Money is a fucking fantastic tool.
00:22:11.760 It should not be the defining characteristic of anybody's life.
00:22:14.680 Nobody's saying that, but having a lot of it is very fucking important.
00:22:18.140 It's very important.
00:22:19.900 Yeah, that's real.
00:22:21.540 You at least want enough of it to where you're not fucking stressed.
00:22:25.940 Okay.
00:22:26.340 I'm not saying you have to be a billionaire.
00:22:29.040 I'm not even saying you have to be a millionaire, even though you should at least want that.
00:22:32.760 Okay.
00:22:34.460 But dude, and there are diminishing returns.
00:22:38.160 There are diminishing returns when it comes to money making you happy.
00:22:41.180 Okay.
00:22:41.640 There's things you, when you start making money, you will eventually get to a point where
00:22:46.560 it doesn't matter to you anymore.
00:22:48.100 But the only reason it doesn't matter to you anymore is because you got so much fucking
00:22:51.280 money.
00:22:51.760 Right.
00:22:52.160 Right.
00:22:52.520 Right.
00:22:53.100 Well, that's when you have to change it about purpose to somebody else.
00:22:56.480 Yeah, dude.
00:22:57.000 Look, and that's the other thing.
00:22:58.220 Like I've, I've done well enough in my life to where I've, you know, I, I've experienced
00:23:03.040 all the me things.
00:23:05.300 The, the best part about having a lot of money, real talk is fucking giving it away.
00:23:10.740 It's doing shit for other people.
00:23:12.620 It's creating a situation that changes the trajectory of other people's motherfucking
00:23:16.600 lives.
00:23:16.960 Like we're doing for that fucking school right now.
00:23:18.800 Yeah.
00:23:19.620 Facts.
00:23:20.220 You know what I'm saying?
00:23:20.980 Yeah.
00:23:21.540 Shit like that.
00:23:22.680 Those kids that we're doing that for, we're going to tell, we'll show you guys this.
00:23:26.460 We're going to make a video post on YouTube about this little project DJ and I've been
00:23:29.700 working on for a couple of years now, but those kids will, that will change their lives
00:23:35.720 forever.
00:23:36.600 You know what I'm saying?
00:23:37.440 Absolutely.
00:23:37.920 Couldn't do that without money.
00:23:38.940 That's real shit.
00:23:40.320 That's a, we can't hope that shit together.
00:23:42.220 No, no.
00:23:43.380 And you certainly ain't going to get it in your fucking band, bro.
00:23:45.940 No.
00:23:46.340 And no offense to anybody that like, dude, I've got some really good friends that have
00:23:49.320 like taken a couple of years off and gone and done that shit.
00:23:51.820 It's been really cool.
00:23:53.320 But they all, but those people also understand, like I have to have my career shit.
00:23:57.020 This ends at some point.
00:23:58.140 Yes.
00:23:58.460 Like it's not, it's in a lot of these young people see this shit and they hear these talking
00:24:05.080 heads on the internet talking about life experience and fulfillment and all this shit, bro.
00:24:10.840 And these, these fucking people talking to shit, I've never done anything.
00:24:13.740 They don't have any, they're not fulfilled to talk about.
00:24:15.980 No, they're not fulfilled.
00:24:16.700 No, bro.
00:24:17.380 It's a fake fucking, give me some fucking beads and let me feel your energy.
00:24:21.800 And you know, let's, let's do some meditation together and money doesn't matter.
00:24:27.240 Well, money does fucking matter.
00:24:28.780 And those people are full of shit.
00:24:30.520 And if you go track any single one of those motherfuckers down in five years, ask them
00:24:34.720 if money matters and they'll fucking ask you for some.
00:24:37.040 Right.
00:24:38.020 Can't fill a gas tank up with meditation, bro.
00:24:40.180 No shit, dude.
00:24:41.120 It's real talk.
00:24:44.060 Um, yeah, I'm gonna hum some premium in there.
00:24:51.140 Oh man.
00:24:52.380 Damn.
00:24:52.900 Dude.
00:24:53.120 There's just a lot of misinformation out there.
00:24:55.200 There's a lot of really bad life advice on Instagram.
00:24:58.460 A lot, a lot.
00:25:00.000 I would say 80% of it.
00:25:01.620 Like if you, if you sent me eight fucking pieces of content from some of these fucking
00:25:07.000 gurus, I could tell you exactly why it's bullshit.
00:25:09.780 Yeah.
00:25:11.120 Real talk.
00:25:12.140 Most of these people, guys, what they're trying to do is they're trying to perpetuate and create
00:25:18.340 a customer for them.
00:25:19.780 We see this a lot, um, with situations where people aren't necessarily trying to help people.
00:25:27.060 They're trying to groom them into a forever customer for them to become that zombie.
00:25:31.540 Yes.
00:25:32.120 Yeah.
00:25:32.880 That's a, that's, and it's fucked up.
00:25:35.100 It's predatory.
00:25:36.420 It really is.
00:25:38.400 That's right.
00:25:38.920 Well, this actually kind of goes right into question number three though.
00:25:42.320 Uh, and the question number three, I'm a young chiropractor.
00:25:46.700 You've mentioned many times on the show that professionals like chiropractors, lawyers,
00:25:51.000 uh, doctors and others, they don't get the business expertise, uh, and experience in school
00:25:57.120 when they're left out to dry in the real world.
00:25:58.800 How do you recommend, uh, for one to begin educating themselves on the business side of things that
00:26:05.340 includes payroll taxes, et cetera, in order to be successful?
00:26:08.400 How do you vet that information?
00:26:09.760 I guess with so much phony bullshit in the world, first of all, man, you're in the, that's
00:26:15.280 absolutely true.
00:26:16.220 Most professionals like architects, uh, medical professionals, um, chiropractors, like all,
00:26:24.020 all these professions, lawyers, they are never truly taught how to run and operate a business.
00:26:30.240 Okay.
00:26:30.700 They're taught their trade.
00:26:31.960 And then they're given like a couple hours on the business side, which is usually like
00:26:35.840 20 year old fucking bullshit information.
00:26:38.280 The best, the best thing about the era that we live in right now is that all of this shit
00:26:43.360 is available on podcasts essentially for fucking free.
00:26:47.480 Um, by the way, from people who actually did the shit that you've done.
00:26:53.040 And I bet that if you go out there, there's probably a chiropractor podcast on how to fucking
00:26:58.100 create a business out of it.
00:27:00.180 But I'm glad that you're asking this question because it's extremely important.
00:27:04.580 You have to know how to operate a business.
00:27:06.740 You have to know how to do the books.
00:27:08.140 You have to know how to hire and fire.
00:27:09.880 You have to know how to build a culture.
00:27:11.320 You have to know how to market.
00:27:12.440 You have to know how to retain.
00:27:13.660 You have to know how to handle your service.
00:27:15.660 There's millions, there's millions of little moving pieces inside of those things.
00:27:20.300 I just said that they do not teach you in school.
00:27:22.840 And so this is also why Ed and I fucking founded Arate Syndicate, which is the largest network
00:27:29.440 of actual entrepreneur, vetted entrepreneurs that have a business that are doing things in
00:27:34.540 real life.
00:27:35.020 And the value of joining this organization is not only, I would say it's 30% me and Ed doing
00:27:42.640 the calls and 70% the people you're going to meet inside the group that are also aligned
00:27:48.760 with your mission.
00:27:49.480 These people become some of your best friends over the course of your life.
00:27:53.840 And if you take, if you jump in Arate for a year or two, it's going to accelerate your
00:27:58.500 life by 20 fucking years, just because of the relationships you build, the skills you're
00:28:02.760 going to learn, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:28:04.740 And by the way, our goal in that program is for people to eventually move out of it and
00:28:10.900 go kick ass.
00:28:11.840 Okay.
00:28:12.840 So like you have an opportunity now to be a, basically what I'm trying to say is the information
00:28:20.820 is out there more than it ever has been.
00:28:23.780 You just got to look for it.
00:28:25.060 Yeah.
00:28:25.640 Okay.
00:28:26.080 I would recommend you join Arate and that's not a fucking pitch for Arate.
00:28:29.320 I don't give a fuck if you do or not.
00:28:31.080 Um, we don't do it for the money.
00:28:32.700 Both Ed and I do pretty fucking well.
00:28:34.740 Uh, we do it because we feel obligated to actually teach people the real shit of what
00:28:39.780 it takes to grow and operate and run a business and kick ass.
00:28:43.400 Um, if you want to get more specific to your profession, you will find people in that group
00:28:49.460 that are also aligned with that profession.
00:28:51.560 And they're very open about sharing and working and, and, you know, basically building together.
00:28:57.160 Uh, and I'm sure there's other podcasts out there that you can go find or information,
00:29:00.940 YouTube channels that you can go find that are probably made by chiropractors about how
00:29:06.000 to run the chiropractic business.
00:29:08.020 So it's all there, bro.
00:29:09.540 You just got to go look for it.
00:29:11.100 And let me ask you this question.
00:29:12.260 Okay.
00:29:12.480 If you could, if you could just say like, what are the three words in your opinion that people
00:29:18.860 need to like, if they see these words pop up in the fucking video to just immediately
00:29:23.320 scroll to the fucking next one, right?
00:29:25.760 Like, like do not consume that information.
00:29:27.400 If it contains these three words in a headline or something like that, what would you say?
00:29:30.420 Man, I don't know.
00:29:31.760 I don't know that there's three words.
00:29:33.320 I mean, you have three words in mind.
00:29:34.620 Oh, like the quick.
00:29:35.760 Oh yeah.
00:29:36.320 Quick, easy, free.
00:29:37.240 Right, right, right.
00:29:38.200 Yeah, bro.
00:29:38.580 If it's quick, easy or free, throw that shit in the trash.
00:29:41.220 Yeah.
00:29:41.540 Okay.
00:29:41.820 Nothing that's really good is quick, easy or free.
00:29:44.480 Um, and that's a whole nother topic.
00:29:50.860 Like guys, there is no fucking hack to any of this shit, bro.
00:29:54.580 You're going to have to work your ass off.
00:29:55.900 You're going to have to fucking be better than everybody.
00:29:57.760 You're going to have to learn how to be great.
00:29:59.700 You're going to have to learn skills.
00:30:01.180 You're going to have to learn how to persevere.
00:30:03.240 You're going to have to learn all of these different things that you may not possess at
00:30:07.680 the level that you need to possess it, uh, to compete at the highest level.
00:30:11.160 So my, my perspective is I want to be the best at what I do and anything that I do.
00:30:16.340 And so when I give you guys information, I'm not talking about just operating a business
00:30:20.420 or being decent.
00:30:22.260 I'm talking about being a motherfucking best at what you do, at least in your area.
00:30:26.820 All right.
00:30:27.500 I think that right now we live in the greatest time in history to be an entrepreneur because
00:30:36.140 of how much great information there is out there for low cost or free.
00:30:41.800 Uh, and then even at cost, like you got to remember when I was building a business, bro,
00:30:46.020 there was no like way for me to like pay amount of money.
00:30:50.080 And then hear from the actual CEO of companies that I admired, right?
00:30:54.480 That didn't exist.
00:30:55.680 Right.
00:30:56.100 Like it didn't happen.
00:30:57.100 Like the guys, the guys I looked up to, I had to watch them and observe them from afar
00:31:02.420 and deduce what they were doing and break it down.
00:31:05.600 And then, you know, eventually I got to a point in my career where I fucking met those guys,
00:31:09.940 but like, I wasn't able in the beginning to literally hear them talk about how to build
00:31:15.080 a business.
00:31:15.540 And we live in an era now where that's available, however, and this comes with an asterisk on
00:31:21.940 it.
00:31:22.620 There's also an equal amount of wrong information that if you follow, you will end up getting
00:31:27.940 your fucking ass beat.
00:31:29.500 Okay.
00:31:29.940 Because there's a lot of people out there that are pretending to be successful so that
00:31:35.020 you will buy their shit and you have to be good at vetting them.
00:31:38.900 So when I say like, there's not really three words, I think the main thing that you have to
00:31:43.100 look for is who are you learning from?
00:31:45.500 Are they credible?
00:31:47.020 Have they built real shit or are they just a coach?
00:31:50.240 Right.
00:31:50.760 Okay.
00:31:51.280 Because when it comes to business, I don't want just a coach who talks about business.
00:31:56.420 That motherfucker, I don't give a fuck how good they can talk.
00:32:00.400 I don't care how good it sounds when they say it.
00:32:03.460 I don't care how good of a speaker they are.
00:32:05.660 They do not know the nitty gritty of what is really going to define whether or not you're
00:32:12.040 successful or not.
00:32:12.880 They don't know it.
00:32:13.660 They don't know it.
00:32:14.820 And if they do pretend to know it, it's because they heard it from someone like me and they
00:32:19.320 repeating it.
00:32:20.380 No, I'm being real.
00:32:21.400 And I'm saying that real, like factual, I'm not saying like, there's a lot of other great
00:32:25.060 coaches out there who have built real shit, but the amount of those people is probably
00:32:31.540 the ratio is probably for every one of those people, there's fucking 100 that are faking
00:32:36.440 it.
00:32:37.200 Okay.
00:32:37.640 So you have to discern, you know, and do your, do, do your shit.
00:32:42.100 Like what's this person's company?
00:32:43.920 How do they run it?
00:32:45.240 Is, are they well known?
00:32:46.500 Are you know, you know, like there's ways to tell you just can't take people's word for
00:32:50.920 it anymore because dude, like there's so many people out there that are willing to
00:32:54.140 just take your money and pretend to coach you.
00:32:55.800 They don't know shit.
00:32:56.820 They really don't.
00:32:58.000 Like, how are you going to fucking, how is someone going to walk you through a difficult
00:33:02.080 situation that you're having if they've never fucking been through it?
00:33:05.180 Right.
00:33:05.600 Like I had a guy call me, dude.
00:33:07.660 I had a guy call me out of RTA.
00:33:10.160 Now, if you join RTA, you're not allowed to call me.
00:33:12.920 You don't get my number, but this guy does have my number because he's been in RTA for
00:33:17.080 since the beginning and we're friends now.
00:33:20.840 Okay.
00:33:21.600 Calls me up.
00:33:22.280 Well, he's probably listening and applied the shit you taught, right?
00:33:24.680 Huh?
00:33:25.200 Like he's listening and applied the things.
00:33:26.860 Yeah.
00:33:27.020 I mean, it's 100% and he fucking wins.
00:33:30.140 So he calls me and this is a couple of weeks ago.
00:33:32.220 And he says, he said, Hey man, uh, dude, can I get 10 minutes?
00:33:36.160 And he never asked for my time.
00:33:37.800 So I knew it was important.
00:33:38.980 This was on a Sunday.
00:33:39.980 He's like, Hey man, you know, you got 10 minutes.
00:33:42.220 I'm like, yeah.
00:33:43.300 And normally I would say, fuck you.
00:33:44.920 Right.
00:33:45.300 But this guy's earned that because he's, I've seen him go out and execute.
00:33:48.860 Bro, if I see you take what I say and go out and execute, I'm going to give you my
00:33:52.660 fucking time.
00:33:53.220 Cause I, you're already shown that you're willing to fucking do it.
00:33:55.560 So he calls me up.
00:33:57.020 I'm, I'm walking my, uh, 75 hard.
00:34:00.460 And he's like, Hey dude, I got a problem.
00:34:03.860 And I'm like, what's that?
00:34:04.940 And he's like, well, my, my, one of my stores, this guy owns a bunch of stores.
00:34:11.120 Okay.
00:34:11.720 One of my stores, the entire staff quit.
00:34:15.760 And not only did they quit, they ran it into the ground without me knowing it.
00:34:20.920 And they've been purposefully pushing customers out the door.
00:34:23.640 And then also my right-hand guy, the guy who I trust to manage all these people also quit.
00:34:30.900 Cause he said it, it's too big of a hole.
00:34:33.160 So here, this guy's calling me and he's saying, I lost my right-hand guy and I lost a whole
00:34:38.500 staff worth of guys.
00:34:39.660 And they were pushing customers outside the door, creating intentional bad reputation.
00:34:43.900 You know what I said?
00:34:45.380 I said, man, you know what?
00:34:47.080 That's happened to me too.
00:34:48.280 And then I went through and I explained how all of this same thing had happened to me,
00:34:52.960 how we corrected it, what we did.
00:34:55.980 And guess what?
00:34:57.260 Now he's on the path to having it fixed.
00:34:59.480 Your fucking 99, fucking $997 fucking fake ass coach out there doesn't know shit about
00:35:04.860 those things.
00:35:05.620 Right.
00:35:05.820 And that's the difference.
00:35:06.880 When you have real issues, real motherfuckers know how to solve those issues because they've
00:35:11.900 had them happen.
00:35:12.780 I've had that situation happen twice in my fucking 24 years, twice in my 24 years.
00:35:17.760 I've had it happen.
00:35:19.240 So it was very easy for me to be like, all right, bro, step back from the edge.
00:35:24.300 You don't got to jump.
00:35:25.260 All right.
00:35:25.640 Put the sledgehammer down.
00:35:27.520 I understand that you feel very violated and like everybody quit on you and you probably
00:35:33.020 feel very, I was able to describe exactly how he's feeling.
00:35:36.040 Do you know why?
00:35:37.540 Because motherfucker, I've been there.
00:35:38.800 Right.
00:35:39.300 Okay.
00:35:39.580 And this is the difference between finding real motherfuckers to teach you or people that
00:35:44.980 just want to be a fucking life coach.
00:35:46.780 Like it's a, it's totally different thing.
00:35:49.040 Let's just meditate through it, bro.
00:35:50.500 Yeah.
00:35:51.460 Yeah.
00:35:51.700 Give me some more beads and the gas will go right in my car.
00:35:55.420 Fuck, man.
00:35:55.940 I really wish it worked like that.
00:35:59.920 Guys.
00:36:00.760 Andy, that was three.
00:36:01.720 Yeah.
00:36:02.200 That was three.
00:36:02.660 Go pay the fee.
00:36:03.280 Yeah.
00:36:03.580 Don't be a hoe.
00:36:04.600 Share the show.
00:36:05.200 Went from sleeping on the floor.
00:36:07.600 Now my jewelry box froze.
00:36:09.320 Fuck a pole.
00:36:10.120 Fuck a stove.
00:36:10.980 Counted millions in the cold.
00:36:12.640 Bad bitch.
00:36:13.480 Booty swole.
00:36:14.320 Got her on bankroll.
00:36:15.940 Can't fold.
