00:00:58.080
been working on a couple new little show concepts and things uh of that nature that will be entertaining
00:01:03.280
as fuck i guarantee it um so yeah but all the shows are on there full length i know most of you guys
00:01:10.000

we have cti that's cruise the internet that's where we put up uh some of the current event topics of the
00:01:29.240

00:01:34.040
have some laughs and then we talk about the problem at hand and how we can all solve this problem
00:01:37.600
other times we have real talk real talk is five to twenty minutes of me just saying some stuff that i
00:01:42.760
think needs to be heard and then other times we have full length and full length is just like what
00:01:47.260
you're used to seeing on most podcasts a bunch of people sitting around having a conversation
00:01:51.800
uh now for those of you that don't know i'm a fairly successful entrepreneur i've done pretty
00:01:57.720
well in my life i continue to do pretty well i share these tips on how to do very well uh on this show
00:02:03.320
consistently and for that value i ask a very simple fee and the fee is not monetary i don't sell you
00:02:10.600
shit i don't run ads on the show i don't answer to some corporate fuck that tells me what to say and
00:02:15.440
what not to say um it's very simple i share with you if you get benefit from it i ask that you share
00:02:21.660
the show that's it um so when i say pay the fee that just means tell somebody about the show share
00:02:26.620
the show so that's basically the format of the show you know we've been able to stay at the top
00:02:32.600
of itunes and spotify and all these audio platforms for a number of years based off entirely word of mouth
00:02:38.200
i'm very proud of that i appreciate you guys for doing that uh and by the way if the show's no good
00:02:43.660

freeman yeah that's what i'm saying now you're stealing about the first you stole my dot's ideas
00:06:08.980
now you're stealing my shit hey man well uh we are almost at uh black history month so i think it's
00:06:15.300
okay it is mlk day that's what i'm saying all right pass yeah well i just i'll actually take this one
00:06:20.480
while we're at it okay i'm sorry all right um yeah man that was a little racist yeah well i mean
00:06:29.340
if any day you get a pass i think it's today just saying oh fuck dude yeah man everything else good
00:06:35.840
with you yeah man had a good weekend fucking dude my train's going so good i uh i got that infection
00:06:43.120
out of my body bro and like i could just tell my body's changing fast it's got me really excited
00:06:48.560
like i'm really like bro i almost you know this i almost fucking quit and started over yeah i'm like
00:06:53.780
bro i got because those four or five days in a row like they were just so shit like i i was limping
00:06:59.680
dude i think i said this on the show but it took me like two hours to do a 45 minute walk because like
00:07:05.640
normally we do like a walk run interval okay or i put a weighted vest on or a ruck which i haven't
00:07:11.900
done in a long time i'll start doing that again um but like bro i i i could fucking limp like and it
00:07:19.560
was slow and so you know those four or five days like they just felt like a fucking waste to me like
00:07:27.220
i just fucked them off but the truth is now like i'm on the other side of it and i'm like fuck dude
00:07:31.680
i'm really glad i fucking stuck it out yeah bro fucking up that momentum is a big deal right it's
00:07:37.360
like if you can push through it crawling if you have to i mean it's far better than not doing you
00:07:42.360
know i you know there's definitely on day 51 right now 50 today yeah but like but like bro it's there's
00:07:49.060
limits to it right like i was on that limit like if i were like if someone else were asking me like
00:07:55.080
should they do it i would have told them no they should stop but because it was me and i'm just you
00:08:00.580
know i'm probably a little stupid in that way um but now i'm like i'm just glad i pushed through dude
00:08:07.200
because you know that was a fucking that was probably the hardest four day or five day test
00:08:14.200
i've had in any of the phases since i started doing the program uh you know four years ago yeah so
00:08:20.240
it was uh i'm very proud of it well didn't you say to yourself too like that was kind of the point
00:08:26.420
of this round like you wanted to get my mental yeah that's it bro like like dude my my mental was so
00:08:33.920
fucked up because i had went for so long without being able to really train and like training such
00:08:41.800
a big part of my whole my whole power structure like dude because it's something that i i it's like
00:08:48.140
my thing you know what i'm saying and i went over a year with not being able to train properly and
00:08:53.300
really like it fucked me up dude and then during that time i got off my antidepressants which i've
00:09:01.360
been on for a long time and i just figured like fuck it if it's already fucking storming what's
00:09:06.340
what's a few more fucking raindrops you know what i'm saying right and i'm like fuck i'm just rip the
00:09:10.220
all this shit off of me and i fucking went through it and now that i'm like on the other side of all
00:09:14.760
that and i've pushed through that fucking shit i'm super fucking appreciative and like excited about
00:09:20.020
it and like i feel it's the best i felt mentally since i was injured in september of 2021 um
00:09:27.340
so i mean it was good i you know the weekend was good i didn't do shit other than train and eat and
00:09:32.720
fucking read yeah um i've been reading a lot more lately uh i've been reading you know not just my 10
00:09:39.520
pages 10 pages is the minimum for me yeah so like like that's something that i do regardless but
00:09:46.420
i've been reading up to 50 60 70 pages a day um pretty consistently for the last couple weeks
00:09:53.780
and it like bro i just feel much better like the the reading part is so underrated bro like it's so
00:10:02.180
underrated in terms of what it does for your brain and how it uh it's your first fucking time
00:10:08.140
yeah things fucking off first fucking podcast bro uh i think the reading thing is so underrated
00:10:15.640
because you know it gives at least for me man like it makes my brain operate in a completely
00:10:22.080
different way it makes my brain operate in a much more productive way uh i have much more creativity
00:10:28.660
i have much less anxiety it makes me feel like i'm moving forward instead of like even though i'm just
00:10:35.340
reading no i'm coming up with ideas and like new things and thoughts and bro it just makes me feel
00:10:41.400
fucking that much better yeah we were talking about the other day like i've even tried didn't we talk
00:10:45.080
about this on the show the other day no i think we were just walking i think we talked about it too
00:10:48.760
on the show yeah the other day we were talking i'm hot on it right now yeah even when i find myself
00:10:54.180
like bored i find myself like instead of getting back on my phone or something like that just picking
00:10:58.100
my book up dude i really think there's a lot to that man you know i i fucking am as guilty as
00:11:03.460
anybody about scrolling right like i want to see what's going on and especially with us doing the
00:11:08.520
cti and the current event stuff you know i'm always trying to dig out what what the fuck is going on
00:11:13.940
and uh bro since i've really kicked my reading up it's just brought my level of anxiety way the
00:11:20.680
fuck down and it's been uh it's been nice man yeah for sure makes me remember like that i actually
00:11:26.500
have a brain and that it works okay yeah i asked myself like why did that fuck like bro because in
00:11:30.640
school i hated reading yeah i'm trying to like figure out like why i hated reading i don't know
00:11:34.800
if it was because of like how structured it was probably the same reason you hated working out
00:11:38.280
and running because you were made to do it yeah i must say because of how structured it was yeah
00:11:42.020
yeah you know i don't like running bro because like people always tease me and they're like well
00:11:47.320
you should start running it's so fucking amazing yeah but like bro you gotta understand y'all listen
00:11:52.340
to me because i talk a lot of shit right now imagine me in high school talking shit okay like i i i was
00:12:00.100
always running like it was always like frisella fucking take a lap bro it's a punishment yes and
00:12:05.940
like so dude it's just so ingrained in me i know that's not an excuse but the truth is i don't fucking
00:12:10.620
like it it's not conducive to the body type i want it's not something that i really want to conquer at
00:12:16.600
this point in my life and i have no desire to do it so i don't do it uh the most running i do is when
00:12:22.400
we do our little our little intervals and that's enough for me man you know um well i'm about to shit my
00:12:28.280
pants i'll start running that's true remember that time remember that one time we had to call

it guarantee it dj's his own man hey man that's one of the things i love about you bro
00:15:04.100
gotta get it done yeah gotta get it done all right any question number one people are tired
00:15:09.400
of us talking shit let's do the fucking show about shit yeah any question number one i'm currently at
00:15:16.340
my lowest point that i've ever been i'm 27 i found out my wife is cheating on me my mom got cancer last
00:15:22.280
month and i've been hustling a nine to five barely able to pay bills i'm managing a startup business
00:15:27.720
with little cash flow a lot going on there yeah live hard taught me better than to play the victim
00:15:33.760
um but i'm currently experiencing a lot of anger and i don't know how to use that to my advantage
00:15:38.640
besides in my workouts how can i repurpose my negative energy into action to become unstoppable
00:15:43.820
man you know i think the answer to this question is is universal okay um every single person has gone
00:15:55.860
through these situations maybe not the exact same situation but we've all been betrayed we've all had
00:16:02.180
situations where things weren't going our way um we've all been disappointed we've all struggled
00:16:08.240
and a lot of people you know are wired many different ways okay and and some people you know
00:16:17.120
they let these things like hammer them down um to a low point and they stay there and they never
00:16:24.200
recover bro and this becomes the story of their life you know oh this happened this happened and this
00:16:30.240
happened and then like for 70 years they fucking tell that story and they don't do anything
00:16:35.820
and um the way i've always dealt with it dude like always always always and like you know
00:16:42.820
there's pluses and minuses to this but the way i've always dealt it is fuck you and i've always put
00:16:50.440
i've always taken like people that don't believe in me people that fuck me over people that fuck with
00:16:55.120
me you know people who have done bad shit to me i mean bro i could list i could list a list a mile
00:17:03.320
long of the fucked up shit that happened to me especially the first 12 years of business where
00:17:08.200
it looked like i was a complete fucking failure like i'm talking about how i was treated by women
00:17:12.920
um how i was treated by friends how i was treated by family i could go on and on and on and and i don't
00:17:21.660
like digging up dirt but the way that i always dealt with that was like fuck you bro i'm gonna
00:17:26.000
fucking show you okay and real talk and you know this is what it is but i was scrolling instagram the
00:17:34.420
other day and i saw one of my exes that was one of the ones that did some fucked up shit to me
00:17:39.280
and she's in a picture with a dude it's like 70 years old right it made me fucking smile i'm like
00:17:45.520
fuck you okay so it is what the fuck it is and i took the fuck you and i went out and i fucking did
00:17:53.460
everything that i could to make myself be a person that they look back at in their life at some point
00:18:00.660
in time and say man i wish i wouldn't have fucked with that dude i wish i hadn't a fucking not
00:18:04.780
believe in that dude i wish i hadn't hurt that dude i wish i hadn't treat him so poorly i wish i
00:18:09.280
hadn't fucked him over and that's that's what i've done i just took all the fucking negative
00:18:14.000
and i use it and pivoted into productive action i worked that much harder i worked that much longer
00:18:19.140
i put a massive chip on my shoulder that's still there now you may not hear it as much like you did
00:18:24.940
back in the old mf ceo days but it's still fucking there bro like when people fuck with me or say
00:18:30.280
shit about like i see the people i see shit that people say about me and i see the fuck like bro i
00:18:35.380
just take all that shit i gather it the fuck up i put it right up here on my shoulder and and dude i
00:18:40.880
just say fuck you we'll fucking see yeah and and dude that's never led me wrong now now people will
00:18:47.520
argue and they will say well that creates a situation where you're always angry and that is true
00:18:53.120
you fucking are angry a lot of the time but at the end of the day bro i get where i wanted to go
00:18:59.140
i did what i need to do i'm doing what i need to do and my life is so much better off because of
00:19:03.980
it and so what you have to learn as you mature is to separate the feet it's almost like you're
00:19:10.160
pretending to be angry like like when i was younger and this shit happened i was fucking angry like i
00:19:16.060
was like fuck you but now i'm to a point now where it's like everything kind of speaks for itself
00:19:20.320
right so like i i i still feel that way and i still act that way but emotionally it doesn't
00:19:28.460
disturb me as bad because i already know i'm gonna win and so my advice to this person who's
00:19:33.860
going through this hard time bro is just to realize like hey man you need to take this energy for what
00:19:38.720
the fuck it is and let it drive you forward and you're gonna have people that tell you you need
00:19:44.060
to go to therapy maybe you do i don't fucking know there's value in it for sure but not at the
00:19:51.520
mass scale that's like today you know everybody's a victim everybody has everything wrong with
00:19:56.620
everybody needs fucking lifetime therapy with no like that's not what i'm saying you it might be
00:20:02.420
so rough that you need to talk to some people totally get it but after that make it your mission
00:20:08.220
in life to shove it down these motherfuckers throats so fucking hard that they fucking choke
00:20:13.100
make it so that when they fucking look at you and they see you five years from now down the road
00:20:18.220
and you walk into a fucking restaurant they won't even look at you they'll look the other way or
00:20:22.460
they'll look at the ground because they are so fucking embarrassed of what they did or how
00:20:26.100
they treated you or what the fuck they said to you or how they tried to fuck with you that they
00:20:30.700
are embarrassed about what they did and where you went with it so we're gonna have these hard
00:20:37.020
things happen we're gonna have negative things happen we're gonna have things that are frustrating
00:20:40.920
happen nobody is immune to that how we respond to that ultimately dictates our entire lives and how
00:20:48.880
i respond to this and other people may disagree but this is just how the fuck i'm wired
00:20:53.180
is i take that shit and i say fuck you motherfucker i will fucking show you and i do and i show them
00:20:59.980
every fucking day and that's i make it my mission in life well that's not a very good i don't know
00:21:04.220
man a lot of people get fucking their lives improved quite a bit from this mentality from
00:21:08.520
you know 75 hard millions of fucking people done 75 hard how many people have we transformed through
00:21:15.100
our companies millions of fucking people bro you know what i'm saying like so stemming from proving
00:21:20.560
yes yes and so you have these people out there that are do-gooders and they fucking want to feel
00:21:25.680
good about everything some things you just can't feel good about some things you just can't feel
00:21:30.140
good about bro some things you just have to show motherfuckers and remind them who the fuck you are
00:21:34.700
and i'm not saying go in their face or beat their ass or fucking fuck i'm saying become so fucking great
00:21:40.800
and so undeniably fucking great at what it is that you do that they end up regretting every single
00:21:47.900
fucking thing that they did and they will they will do that they will do that so that's how i
00:21:54.220
would deal with it man i would say hey life gave me a spoonful of shit i'm gonna fucking eat it but
00:21:59.640
i guarantee you dude i'm gonna let that fuel me into the fucking next level of whatever it is i'm
00:22:03.400
gonna be i would concentrate on your fucking business bro i would i would understand something
00:22:08.100
very real and here it is it's just you it's just you all these people in your life your friends your
00:22:17.840
fucking family your fucking significant other you're this or that you're this those people are

00:22:41.420
happen again after that and it's going to happen again after that bro i've been fucked over so many
00:22:45.820
fucking times in business i do i i am the fucking nicest most generous fucking human being biggest
00:22:52.480
heart yeah and dude people take advantage of it i i really empathize for that person because bro i've
00:22:58.920
had those situations man you know i had a girl fucking leave me after fucking five years to be with a
00:23:04.680
dude it was fucking at the time he was 45 we were like 20 fucking four okay so like and it's and i
00:23:15.300

00:23:30.380
everybody fucking saw it everybody knew like and here i am okay and you guys think oh well it sounds
00:23:38.180
like you're still bitter about it you're fucking right i am i remember it every fucking day every
00:23:42.280
fucking time i don't want to do shit i think about all those people i think about a long line of
00:23:46.720
motherfuckers to fuck with me and i fucking do everything i can to prove them the fuck wrong for
00:23:51.420
people that like think oh fuck i need motivation i mean like bro that's an infinite amount of
00:23:55.100
motivation there that's what i'm saying yeah like you guys searching for all these fucking feel good
00:23:59.180
tricks you got them already you got a whole pile of shit in your life that you could be motivated
00:24:03.520
about right now you're just not using it properly you know negative energy and positive energy are
00:24:09.440
energy it just depends on how you use it i personally think that negative energy is far more powerful than
00:24:14.740
positive energy i think you get far for far you get much further down the road
00:24:21.560
with fuck you than you do with feel good shit i i've everybody i know that's successful is like
00:24:28.460
that i mean it hasn't listen bro otherwise either listen listen you guys all know who i'm friends
00:24:34.660
with take the guys that put out the only positive shit you want to talk about motherfuckers that got
00:24:41.780
fucking dark sides that say fuck you behind closed doors they all got it all of them every single one
00:24:49.940
of them all the dudes i talk about all the dudes you see me roll with all my friends all my peers
00:24:55.560
some of them might present themselves very positively some of them might present themselves a little bit
00:25:01.160
more like i do uh but i'm telling you you get them behind closed doors bro they got a long list of
00:25:07.300
motherfuckers to shove shit down their fucking throats we're trying to fuck them over and see what
00:25:10.980
happens every single fucking one of them every single fucking one of them it's a common it's a
00:25:16.300
commonality and high achieving individuals so bro you just got a gift this you got a gift you got a
00:25:22.380
gift of the next 20 years of fucking energy to fucking bust ass i'd use it andy question number two
00:25:29.640
uh andy i run a service business providing lawn care cutting trimming etc and we're doing really well
00:25:36.380
most of my online content is helping people with their lawn problems and recommending what products
00:25:41.500
they can use on their yard to help them solve their problems but when people ask me where to
00:25:47.720
buy products from i always refer them to other businesses am i missing an opportunity to be
00:25:53.060
supplying these products myself or am i better to just focus on what i do and refer them to a trusted
00:25:59.000
vendor both the answer is both right now it's probably best that you concentrate on what it is that you do
00:26:07.160
and then what you should how you should think about this is i'm going to be of service to this customer
00:26:13.600
no matter what okay that means you're going to recommend what you believe to be the best possible
00:26:19.140
product you're not going to oversell you're not going to say hey you need this and this and this and
00:26:24.100
this and this if you see a ball patch in your yard you're going to say hey mr homeowner come out
00:26:29.360
here see this patch here here's what i can do to fix this this is what it would take and and actually
00:26:34.640
educate them show them because when you start to educate people and teach them things that they
00:26:38.860
don't know and then they validate that through real world experience right like your your homeowner
00:26:44.220
sees that this is i don't know and he goes back inside he gets on the google and he fucking starts
00:26:49.420
looking the shit up and he's like oh that's true now all of a sudden dude that guy's starting to trust
00:26:54.420
you okay it's very important not to oversell in these scenarios so if you only recommend when they need it
00:27:01.460
and you only work to serve their best interests and you do not oversell what will happen here and
00:27:08.440
you look to solve their problems what will happen over time is you will get a tremendous amount of
00:27:12.320
word of mouth when you start to get this tremendous amount of word of mouth it would be a good idea for
00:27:17.340
you to think about expanding your lawn care business from something that you are trading labor for money
00:27:25.820
and start to trade product for money okay that means you could create a vertical inside this lawn care
00:27:31.440
business where you're creating your own fertilizer your own seed your own chemicals your own everything
00:27:37.320
whatever you need to do this okay but the principles need to remain the same when you start to do that
00:27:43.180
meaning when you offer these things okay you should go offer them only when they're needed
00:27:50.200
you should not oversell them you shouldn't be because this is where people fuck up their businesses
00:27:54.660
they start to get a little bit of money they start to get a little bit of traction and then they start
00:27:59.300
seeing their customers as like uh you know a money tree that they're going to fucking pull money out
00:28:04.860
of when in reality if you would just continue the same mentality of solving the customer's problems
00:28:10.020
the best that you know how they will buy from you because you are that person all right so your
00:28:15.620
reputation and your word of mouth is the most important here the quality of your work
00:28:19.100
and then what i would do is expand out into these verticals as you go it's a tremendous way for you
00:28:24.580
to potentially become the biggest lawn care company that in the world you know what i'm saying like
00:28:30.720
this is very similar to how we did what we do yeah okay we started with retail stores um then when we got
00:28:38.460
to a point 10 years in we were able to start you know we learned about things we learned about what the
00:28:43.860
market needed we started our own company then when people would come in we didn't necessarily just
00:28:48.900
push them onto our own shit we gave them options so like whenever you um go to these people's with
00:28:55.600
your own product you could be like yeah man this could be uh you know you could use scott's you could
00:29:00.500
use this you could use that whatever the brands are we also have our own brand right here it's really
00:29:05.920
good and show the comparison and then still offer the other products but all for yours as well and
00:29:11.780
that way it's not like just just thing where you're trying to push you see what i'm saying
00:29:15.720
and because you already have an insight on the yeah you know what the other products are good
00:29:19.460
or bad right what they're missing yeah yeah so this is a great way to build a tremendously large
00:29:24.240
business um from just doing the right thing and i think that you know people really fuck this up man
00:29:30.980
because they get a little bit of traction and they all of a sudden they start trying to oversell
00:29:34.860
they start trying to over offer they start trying to solve problems that don't really exist right
00:29:39.780
this would be the equivalent of someone going into valvoline and getting a 700 oil change
00:29:45.400
like like there's memes about it right right like you have to go into valvoline and you have to say
00:29:51.160
no like in a rude way to get them to stop is valvoline really bad is it that bad bro all those oil
00:29:59.160
change places for the most part like and maybe maybe not valvoline maybe i'm picking on them
00:30:04.460
but every oil change place that i've been to yeah has been that way right it's been pressure
00:30:10.840
pressure pressure pressure pressure about a bunch of shit that i don't really know that much about
00:30:15.200
knowing i know a lot about how to drive cars i don't know a whole lot of shit about actually
00:30:19.660
building cars or the things that go on like i'm ignorant of some of those things and so when you
00:30:25.300
go in there and and by the way this is a great exercise for you if you're in business go in somewhere
00:30:31.020
that you don't know anything about and watch how they treat you okay because you'll learn a lot
00:30:36.140
about your own business because what happens like if you go to like one of these oil change places
00:30:40.680
right and they're saying oh you need this you need this you need this you need this and you have no
00:30:44.860
fucking idea now you start feeling like you're getting sold and the last thing you ever want to
00:30:50.040
do is go back to that oil change place right this is how people will feel about your grass business
00:30:55.100
too if you don't handle it properly so it's very very important that you do the right thing
00:31:00.780
you offer the proper solutions you offer options with those solutions you educate and educate means
00:31:07.820
tell the truth teach them something they didn't know which they will go validate and start to trust and
00:31:13.900
so you could build this whole machine based on these concepts so i think that for this guy or girl whoever
00:31:20.500
asked this question i think that you you you're going to get where you want to go you're already
00:31:26.520
thinking about it dude or you wouldn't ask yeah so do i think you're missing opportunity by not having
00:31:31.560
your own maybe not yet i think you should grow into having your own by offering the best product for
00:31:38.140
everybody else and then when you have an opportunity to make a product of your own you make the best one
00:31:43.520
you make it better than the other guys okay so now it's actually the right solution
00:31:47.760
so it's not rocket science dude it's just called doing the right thing it's ethical business practices
00:31:53.900
and most people just don't do it that's why it stands out so much
00:31:57.780
well guys andy our third and final question question number three i like this one here
00:32:06.080
andy i'm 20 years old and i want to ask you what's the best way to make the best mind-blowing
00:32:14.620
first impression or introduction when meeting someone way above you on that success ladder
00:32:18.980
well look man i don't think it's i don't think it's about that i don't think it's about a one-time
00:32:29.460
introduction i think if you're trying to network with someone who's far above you it's important
00:32:34.480
for you first of all don't be a fucking like don't don't be a fan boy okay like a psycho like
00:32:43.700
you're gonna wear my fucking skin okay but also don't be someone who tries to present themselves
00:32:49.420
as someone who's not that way so like if you're a fan okay yeah there's like a fine middle that you
00:32:54.480
want to ride yeah if you're a fan acknowledge that you're a fan and then be a normal dude
00:32:58.720
it'd be cool like here's the thing all these people that you look up to bro they're all
00:33:02.500
fucking normal motherfuckers like they're all looking around being like fuck dude why do all
00:33:06.940
these people have such an interest in what i have to say or do like this is pretty cool but like
00:33:11.100
it's kind of weird too so you got to understand like it just like it would be weird for you if
00:33:15.460
everybody you know that you fucking knew came up to you and was like holy fuck bro it's you
00:33:20.180
like it's weird right like even if you're used to it like this is why you see celebrities go into
00:33:25.360
hiding and shit i couldn't imagine being someone like the fucking rock right who everybody on the
00:33:30.880
planet fucking understands and knows and likes you know for the most part so like like you got to
00:33:37.420
understand like dude the fame thing and the recognition thing is really weird for people
00:33:42.120
even if you're used to it it's fucking weird so don't make it weirder you know what i'm saying
00:33:46.500
like just realize that these are normal people just like you that have done some things that you just
00:33:53.060
haven't done yet that's elevate and then you know and then another thing is is like so that's the first
00:33:58.140
thing don't make it fucking weird all right second thing don't don't uh do the thing like where it's
00:34:04.260
like oh i'm not trying to kiss your ass i'm not trying to suck your dick like bro that's an
00:34:08.940
automatic like i will never talk to you yeah for the reasons that we said in the other show i don't
00:34:14.740
remember what show that was uh but maybe you could plug it in here and say you know what episode that
00:34:19.200
was but the but the point is don't do that shit either so you want to ride the middle just be a
00:34:24.000
normal fucking human be respectful say thank you for what you do i really appreciate it help me this
00:34:28.320
way you know and then if you want to build a relationship with that person um you know figure
00:34:35.400
out a way that you can provide value figure out a way that you can start to uh contribute to what
00:34:40.300
it is they're working on for example i have this guy uh who found me on instagram i don't fucking know
00:34:45.620
him from anybody and he started taking my podcast on his own without me fucking saying shit and not
00:34:52.740
asking for anything he started taking my podcasts and cutting them into reels okay sending me the link
00:34:59.980
every single day for free broke down the whole show into reels okay just to show that he could do it
00:35:08.280
right and now we we've had a couple calls with him i think we're going to do some stuff with him but
00:35:13.060
the point is this dude made an opportunity for himself because he took initiative to actually help
00:35:17.240
us do some things and while we haven't used any of his reels we have used the format of his reels
00:35:22.600
and other content that helped gave us a guy because he's actually pretty fucking good at it
00:35:26.320
so provide value what are you good at what can you do how can you help you know what i'm saying
00:35:32.440
those things go a long way um and then you know spread the good word you know when when when you see
00:35:39.340
a conversation happening about these people because let me tell you something dude just because people
00:35:44.020
don't comment or like on instagram doesn't mean they're not reading shit okay so like you know if
00:35:50.380
you're like if you see someone dogging out your fucking homie that you fucking look up to get in
00:35:55.200
there and fucking stand up for him get in there and fucking help him out or if you see someone uh who
00:36:00.180
did really good with something like dude support that person like those things matter because they're
00:36:04.800
seen like i promise you bro gary v reads all the shit that's out there i read all the shit that's out
00:36:10.700
there ed reads all the shit that's out there in fact i know we do because we all talk about it behind
00:36:14.900
closed doors and we have laughs about it but the point is you also recognize those people who jump
00:36:19.940
in those conversations and have your fucking back and support you when you're not when they don't
00:36:24.360
even think you're looking bro that's a great way to get recognized yeah there's all kinds of ways bro
00:36:28.540
you just got to be creative and you got to understand like there's so many people that come to people who
00:36:33.740
are uh let's just say a few notches more up the ladder than you are offering all these solutions that it
00:36:39.160
doesn't it becomes a it becomes like i like what people say to me i do not value like at all like
00:36:45.720
like like like if this same guy when i'm talking about the reels right now if he would have came to
00:36:49.840
me and said hey andy i could do all this shit and it's this much a month i would have been like cool
00:36:53.820
bro and i would have fucking moved the fuck on but because he displayed it because he showed it to
00:36:59.440
me action yeah and he was willing to do so for 30 days before even having a conversation like bro he
00:37:04.760
didn't even want to have a conversation about it he's like i'm doing this for 30 days
00:37:08.040
and i'm like nah bro you know he did it for like two weeks and we started having a conversation
00:37:12.540
but like the point is is that's how you get opportunity that's how you create opportunity
00:37:17.460
for yourself now i'm not saying we're gonna do a whole bunch of shit with this i don't know what
00:37:21.200
we're gonna do but the point is it got him an interview it got him a conversation it got him
00:37:26.700
some good dialogue i know this dude's cool as fuck now i trust him i think he's cool got him way more
00:37:31.320
than just talking with that's it yeah that's it that's real and so like dude you have to look for
00:37:35.760
opportunities and if you don't have a skill set to display value think about how you could start
00:37:41.480
creating that for someone what can you do to help someone with what they're doing what can you do
00:37:47.080
like for example like i like the people who share my shit religiously i fucking know who they are
00:37:53.860
oh yeah i know who we talk about oh yeah i know who the fuck they are you know i'm saying like
00:37:58.440
motherfuckers pay the fee every single fucking day bro i know who the fuck they are not all of them
00:38:02.460
but a lot of them you know you have to start looking for ways to differentiate and and stand
00:38:07.700
out that aren't just um you know you know i'm steve i fucking love what you do i'd love to work with
00:38:15.120
you steve what do you do man i don't know i'll do anything like that's not that's that's not gonna
00:38:20.940
bro i appreciate that i appreciate that but that's not truly going to get you the opportunities you're
00:38:27.020
looking for okay and then also another thing is too dude and this is something that young people
00:38:32.280
have a really hard time with you have to be willing to do shit for free sometimes sometimes for a long
00:38:37.700
time before you get recognized uh by the way you're sitting next to one of them who figured that the
00:38:42.220
fuck out that dude right there okay fucking z sean was fucking doing he runs the priscilla fans page
00:38:50.040
that ain't my page that's fucking his page and he had that page before he fucking came here to work
00:38:54.560
for me all right and he'd make up he'd do the same thing this other guy did he'd make up content he'd
00:39:00.860
do shit and eventually like after a long time i he kept doing it i'm like hey bro would you like to
00:39:06.780
like do some stuff with us you know like it only makes sense if you enjoy it that much and you're that
00:39:12.300
good at it you should come here be on the team and here he is sitting right next to you he's been on
00:39:15.700
the podcast did you ever think you were going to be on the podcast ever never yeah and that happened
00:39:21.580
just because he was willing to do shit for free and pay the dues yeah and honestly bro like i don't
00:39:27.400
even know like dude you could speak the truth here because i don't even know if you were like
00:39:31.240
yes that's something i always bring up whenever uh the story comes up that i was hired and he didn't
00:39:37.280
know anything about me at all like did you have a plan that this is how you're going to get in with
00:39:40.760
me like did you play me bro all right time to go let's go yeah yeah so when i actually when i
00:39:48.420
started posting i had no idea about how the job was and how things worked here so i legit did not
00:39:54.480
think i was able enough to do the job at all so now you figured out we're just a bunch of idiots
00:39:59.480
yeah so when i started i started completely out of interest there was no idea behind getting a job
00:40:06.400
or anything like that i did out of interest and i still do it i still run that page yeah yes i clearly
00:40:12.080
remember i i clearly remember when you asked me to come work for you that time you didn't know
00:40:17.420
anything about me so you asked my name my age my gender where i lived what did i do for a living
00:40:23.680
and everything about me and that's how the process started so how do you feel about me hiring you only
00:40:30.080
because you're in yeah pretty racist but good yeah i ain't complaining bro real real talk dude i felt
00:40:40.460
obligated to offer you the opportunity after all that time like i felt like okay well here's this young
00:40:45.500
dude who's putting in all this time he's doing it for free you know i i have a need i'm gonna i'm
00:40:53.380
gonna offer him the opportunity and that's the shit that's that's how you get it man like i didn't even
00:40:58.480
i never even met this dude like he's just some dude on the end i don't even know what the fuck you
00:41:02.060
look like or what he i didn't know shit about him i'm just like here's this person making content
00:41:07.340
i'm dm'ing him i didn't know i didn't even know your name bro you know i'm saying so it's about
00:41:12.840
what you do not what you say that's yeah and bro if you don't have anything to offer you should start
00:41:16.620
learning about things that you could offer like do you see a week like i had a guy recently
00:41:20.460
recognize that i don't do twitter okay so he fucking sent me a uh a bunch of shit like now this is sample
00:41:29.740
tweets okay but these are sample tweets that he took out of transcribing my show to show that he
00:41:36.300
could do the tweets straight off my contents my content he would just post it that's another guy
00:41:41.720
like i'll probably end up working with this dude because guess what i don't have the bandwidth to
00:41:45.560
operate twitter right i barely got the bandwidth to fucking think right you know what i'm saying so
00:41:50.740
uh if you get creative dude you could get close to almost anybody like that's the thing it's like
00:41:57.220
the person that you look up to or the people that you look up to they're the the boundary of
00:42:02.100
you actually working with that person is much lower than what you realize like because everybody
00:42:08.260
else is just going to talk about it bro yes and not only that there's very few people willing to
00:42:12.220
take initiative there's very few people willing to fucking show that they are willing to work
00:42:16.380
for free to to like display what they can do and those things are valued by people if they're not
00:42:22.620
a piece of shit now i'm sure there's some people out there that will take advantage of that forever
00:42:27.180
and they will be happy that to not pay you or offer you something but i'm i think that's the minority
00:42:33.220
of people yeah that's you know a lot of people won't take the action because they feel like
00:42:37.440
everybody's like that but i really truly believe that like there's such a scarcity of help that
00:42:44.420
truly cares about what it is people are trying to do that when you could display some true interest
00:42:49.380
and display some true ability uh or just even some critical thinking identifying how to get better
00:42:54.800
and these things those things can pay off in massive amounts guys andy that was three yeah
00:43:00.540
don't pay the fee yeah don't be a hoe share the show
00:43:03.300
