for a long time it was number one entrepreneurial podcast uh of all time and it is a comprehensive
00:02:38.940
library and by the way you could find this library if you scroll down the audio feeds all the way
00:02:43.920
all the way down and you started episode one the first 330 episodes on this feed are the mfceo project
00:02:50.380

00:03:53.360
what's going on man oh not much yeah dude uh somebody wrote in this question i wanted to get
00:04:01.600
your thoughts because i know we've we've you and i have talked about this off off air a few times
00:04:06.260
um what's your take on on the whole idea of dreaming right like do you think in which regard
00:04:13.940
like do you think dreams have deeper meanings like like uh the person i think the gist of the question
00:04:18.220
was like you know he's having this constant dream he's had it like i think like 15 times in the last
00:04:23.360
100 days or something like that like do you think they have all like like more meaning like do you
00:04:27.740
think what are your thoughts on that like because i know we're very into like you know the the
00:04:32.220
visualization aspect and how the universe works do you think that dreams are tied into that at all
00:04:36.580
i don't know yeah i don't know man i i think you know i've had recurring dreams in my life where
00:04:45.120
that made no sense you know uh i i the recurring dreams that i've had in my life have always resulted
00:04:52.180
of some sort of like traumatic change not dramatic traumatic change in my life like i had dreams about
00:05:01.520
me getting stabbed um i had dreams when i quit playing football that was a massive part of my life
00:05:06.840
yeah um i don't know dude i really don't i know everybody has theories on that um but here's what i do
00:05:15.280
believe i do believe that there's a lot of our brain that we do not we the peasant humans that's us um
00:05:23.700
do not understand because they don't tell us what it actually does it's been pulled out of it yeah
00:05:28.280
i think they are well aware of what humans are capable of i think the people that make the rules
00:05:33.300
and make the laws and tax us and fucking own the media and fuck with us and all this shit us yeah i think
00:05:38.920
those people know exactly what humans are capable of but i think that we just see glimmers and hints of
00:05:44.740
it sometimes and i think like some of the work that's been done by dr joe dispenza um or people
00:05:52.160
that have done work in quantum physics and metaphysics you know a lot of these people get dismissed as
00:05:56.340
quackery but the reality is is that like when you start practicing the techniques that these people talk
00:06:03.000
about they they work yeah and so i i truly believe that like these governments in the world exist
00:06:10.800
for the most part to protect the most elite people on the planet and to suppress us humans from
00:06:18.040
understanding our own true potential i don't know how dreams work into that um but you know
00:06:24.800
i'm sure they know yeah well like and i think about like i mean when you speak on like the untapped
00:06:32.260
potential right like you look at civilizations in the past like you look at the egyptians that were
00:06:36.800
building pyramids and shit right like i think it's safe to say and we still don't know how the fuck
00:06:42.120
like with all of our technology and all of our advances advancements that we have in our current
00:06:46.580
civilization you know i thought about the pyramids dude yeah i thought about this i'm not meaning to
00:06:51.020
cut you off i always fucking rack my brain about how they built these fuckers and nobody knows no i
00:06:55.480
thought about it i thought about how you could how humans could have built it they could have excavated
00:06:59.860
all the way around it and built it from the top down yeah okay now that wouldn't make any sense
00:07:06.740
because you have to remove like all the desert that's a decent amount of fucking land move yeah
00:07:10.800
it's possible it's like what's not possible is living a 400 ton brick 400 feet in the fucking sky
00:07:17.840
well that's what i'm saying but like if if if their potential was not suppressed back then
00:07:22.540
how do we know what they were actually i don't even believe that we're the same species of human i i
00:07:29.640
don't i don't even like bro listen i'm so far off the fucking reservation in terms of what i
00:07:35.600
actually believe is true yeah i don't believe i believe that there was a prior civilization to
00:07:42.280
humanity that inhabited this planet that were either alien or they had super they had better abilities
00:07:50.520
better technology that we fucking had yeah and and i believe that's known and i believe that that's
00:07:57.000
that's known by the people who know what the fuck the truth is uh i believe we deserve to know yeah
00:08:02.100
but i believe it's known and like dude if you go back um and there's a show on on netflix right
00:08:08.400
now i can't recall the name of it but there's a show where what is it ancient civilizations is that
00:08:14.360
what it is i was on rogan i think yeah yeah he talked about oh rogan talked about it no he had
00:08:18.760
that guy on oh he did yeah well dude i mean like look if you if you look into this stuff
00:08:24.040
in an outside the narrative viewpoint there's a lot of things that make no sense like like dude human
00:08:31.280
history uh goes back 12 000 years right and then they they have the they say hold on yeah and then
00:08:38.220
they have the dinosaurs that are millions of years but they don't tell you shit about what happened in
00:08:42.420
between right right okay but there's all these elements and architecture and symbolism bro why is it
00:08:49.340
that there's hieroglyphs on pyramids on every major continent in the entire earth that match
00:08:55.600
like that doesn't make sense until similar stories that's what i'm saying like bro we're sold
00:09:01.300
a lie and like people people will hear me say this and they'll be like fuck dude this guy is insane
00:09:06.460
i'm not insane you explain it to me explain it to me yeah explain to me how that's the truth
00:09:12.180
well let me play the devil's advocate right so like they always say that like you know part of the
00:09:16.300
reason is like you know what we could like it's like the uh what's that movie the gentleman uh you
00:09:21.980
can't handle handle the truth oh yeah do you think that like do you think there's anything to that
00:09:27.680
like i mean maybe we we can't know that because we've destroyed our previous civilization i mean
00:09:32.480
there there is a conspiracy theory that giants were alive back then they broke they've listen there
00:09:39.820
have been skeletal remains that are found abnormally large the smithsonian keeps them yes yeah like
00:09:46.140
these are things that exist that most people don't know exist there's been giant human skulls
00:09:51.480
discovered that are fucking three feet across like these things have happened and like they're
00:09:58.740
brushed away from the public knowledge like bro most people think fucking you know they think about
00:10:04.600
fucking kardashians and fucking aoc and like that's what they're fucking like they don't look at
00:10:09.020
anything and like dude the cool thing about the internet is allows us access to see all this stuff but
00:10:14.480
dude you gotta look for it yeah so i you know like look dude i'm not the authority on what the
00:10:19.340
fuck was or wasn't but i know this i know there's a whole bunch of shit we don't know and i know there's
00:10:23.180
a whole bunch of people keeping us from knowing it that's the fuck i know that's a fact man well
00:10:27.900
let's increase some uh some people's potentials today yeah and i think there's a lot of things for
00:10:32.020
example like the law of attraction which i talked i talk about consistently do you guys really think i
00:10:36.800
come on here and talk about this shit if i thought it was bullshit like do you think i'd really come on
00:10:40.740
here like you know what i'm saying yeah like i don't like this is real shit and like sometimes
00:10:45.680
sometimes you have to have faith that things actually work before you understand that they
00:10:52.620
work now you don't necessarily need to know how bro like look when i started implementing the law
00:10:58.300
of attraction into my life and visualization in my life i thought it was total bullshit i just did it
00:11:04.060
because i was so i was in such a fucking bad spot i'm like well fuck it can't hurt right and it turns
00:11:09.500
out that shit works it does work i don't care what anybody says it fucking works so you know like
00:11:17.700
you might hear this and you might say like you know fuck that sounds crazy but dude i've had some
00:11:21.780
crazy things i thought were crazy to redefine my entire existence as a human yeah yeah i don't know
00:11:28.440
bro yeah well let's uh let's increase some people's potentials today man let's do that and that's what
00:11:35.120
that's what the whole point of this show is so let's get into it man andy question number one
00:11:38.820
andy 24 years ago in business when you were just getting started what would you say at that time
00:11:45.720
was your biggest strength um during those early days in your business and then how how how would
00:11:51.020
you tell somebody uh today to kind of you know build and improve and develop on that skill what was
00:11:56.620
your biggest skill 24 years ago no no one's gonna like this answer like no one's gonna like this answer
00:12:01.940
it's ignorance my biggest strength was what i didn't fucking know because if i knew if i would
00:12:09.880
fucking have known what i was signing up for and how hard it was going to be i wouldn't have fucking
00:12:13.160
done it man yeah nobody likes that answer okay so i thought i was smart i thought i was capable i thought
00:12:20.680
i was all this shit and i had just enough cockiness not confidence arrogance to believe that i could do it
00:12:27.080
and and i you know i had an attitude of fuck you i don't really care what you say which i still have
00:12:32.140
today um and i think those that my ignorance to the reality of the situation and my ability to like
00:12:37.620
look at people right in the face and say fuck off are probably my two biggest strengths wow you know
00:12:42.360
but i don't know how you develop ignorance you know what i mean like because as you as you develop
00:12:48.000
it's the dunning-kruger effect you know like dude like
00:12:56.220
they're a year in their business or they're a year into their social media or whatever they do
00:13:02.900
and they think they got it all figured out they think that they're a fucking genius and shit and
00:13:08.940
it's like bro the the longer you go and anything the more you realize how much you really don't know
00:13:15.140
but but when you start to realize that you don't know things the whole the whole time you're
00:13:20.400
starting you're developing real skills what act which actually makes you credible yeah you know so
00:13:25.420
it's like you know i i think that i think there's a strong i think there's a very strong advantage to
00:13:35.240
being a little bit ignorant to what the reality is of what you're capable uh in terms of how fast you
00:13:42.240
know i was always someone who wanted things fast um they they never went fast uh but because i wanted
00:13:49.260
them fast i worked hard to make them happen fast right so this is where like selective urgency concept
00:13:55.760
comes into play i was always urgent yeah so like even though i i wanted to be where i wanted to be
00:14:03.840
three years into my business and then three years into my business i still wasn't getting paid
00:14:08.300
i was still pushing as hard as i could to get to that point that didn't i didn't let that deter me
00:14:16.520
right the way i looked at it at that point in time was all right it didn't happen yet and i still can't
00:14:22.280
see it happening but i got three years in now so that's three years i'm closer to it happening than i
00:14:28.460
was three years ago yeah and that's how i viewed it so you know i think i think you know people want to
00:14:36.080
have it all figured out and they want to have all the skills and they want to have all the answers
00:14:40.000
they want to have all the information and then they want to go and that doesn't work it's not that's
00:14:45.160
how it works you have to go before you know anything you have to go when you're when you
00:14:49.440
you're unqualified when you don't feel like you're ready like that's when you're supposed to go because
00:14:56.240
dude the truth is nobody really figures anything out until they're fucking doing it that's the truth
00:15:00.940
yeah and it in reality mirrors that like in the corporate world and shit like yeah you know they
00:15:06.700
got us all tricked you have to have this degree and you got to have this and you got to have that
00:15:10.340
you got to have this and this and this but once you get the fucking job they just teach you on the
00:15:14.920
job yeah that's every fucking job out there whether it's it doesn't matter yeah law enforcement
00:15:20.800
yeah it doesn't matter that's one of the first things we were told whatever you learn forget about
00:15:24.280
it so people have this idea that they have to be like credible yeah and because they have this idea
00:15:29.220
especially entrepreneurship that they have to be credible they wait around for someone who is
00:15:34.440
credible okay like someone like me to come and say hey dude i believe in you you could do this
00:15:39.260
i fell into that trap like i thought that i needed to earn the trust and the respect and the
00:15:44.580
the approval of other people who are more credible than me as an entrepreneur but the only problem with
00:15:50.660
that is is that doesn't exist that's not a real thing okay so like a lot of people will stall out
00:15:56.440
their whole lives because they're waiting for someone to come around to approve them when there
00:16:01.160
is no system or game or operation or uh cultural norm yeah of a successful person going to a beginner
00:16:10.740
and say hey i you know that might happen like i try to do that like when i see people that i believe
00:16:16.660
in i try to let them know i believe in them but i also let them know it's going to take everything
00:16:20.360
they fucking got yeah because the belief part of somebody else is kind of irrelevant guys like it
00:16:25.140
doesn't matter and we search so much for external approval especially the way society is built now
00:16:30.440
right like you guys you guys look for approval on instagram you look for approval on fucking facebook
00:16:35.420
you look for approval on tiktok you look for approval you look for approval you look for approval
00:16:39.240
well if you condition yourself to look for fucking approval to be set be successful and there is no
00:16:44.740
person or success theory or any system or any that those the people that you're wanting that
00:16:51.100
approval from are so busy doing their own shit they don't notice that you've even started okay and so
00:16:55.460
it's very lonely and it takes it's counterintuitive but you have to go before you're ready bro you just
00:17:00.780
gotta fucking start yeah let me ask you this would you because i mean i i would like i listen to that
00:17:05.600
right and then i think about like a lot of these young entrepreneurs and i'm i look at them like well
00:17:09.820
fuck it appears like they have the ignorance right like you know i think that's a that's something a lot
00:17:14.720
of older you know more older in the game entrepreneurs i guess would say right like you
00:17:19.040
don't really know shit you just don't know you don't know shit that's exactly right i feel like
00:17:22.640
it's like checkbox okay like a lot of these young i see it like they have it so what what exactly are
00:17:26.960
they missing are they missing that conversion no no i think a lot of people just wait they're waiting
00:17:31.180
they're waiting they're waiting for that approval like they're waiting to get qualified like people
00:17:35.140
like bro they're when i went to college bro i took entrepreneurship as like my sub major
00:17:43.180
um i remember going into my entrepreneurship course and i remember i at this time remember
00:17:49.420
i owned a business like i fucking came from my business got my book bag to go to fucking class
00:17:55.760
right and then i went and sit in the class listen to this guy right and this guy sounded very
00:18:01.020
knowledgeable and i was i was like well shit this guy knows his shit right so i raised my hand one day
00:18:06.860
in class i said you know mr professor like well what businesses have you run he's like well i've never
00:18:12.540
actually ran a business but this is what i'm certified to teach and i know all i've interviewed
00:18:18.440
these people and i did it and blah blah blah so like that kind of i was like well fuck i'm taking
00:18:23.800
time out of my day from actually running a business to learn about running a business from someone who's
00:18:27.260
never ran a business right all right that didn't sit well with me so i decided to follow him out
00:18:32.240
one day after class and watch what he drove home and he got in this little easter egg rusted out
00:18:38.820
shit box with a muffler hanging on the fucking ground i'm not joking either it was like sparking
00:18:43.620
up drove home and i'm like i'm not fucking paying to learn business from someone who never ran a
00:18:51.160
business who drives home in a piece of shit that's not what the fuck my goals are and like at that
00:18:56.520
point in time dude i get like on that day i gave up on formal education i went to the bookstore i started
00:19:01.360
reading books yeah i put myself around every successful person i could like we didn't have things like
00:19:06.260
arte syndicate then right like that didn't exist because of social media the internet and that
00:19:10.600
shit didn't exist um i wish it had because i would have been able to get so much more guidance from
00:19:16.220
people who were actually doing and in the game right uh but it didn't and so like i went to work
00:19:25.100
trying to learn everything i could and i just i guess that's when i realized also that no one's gonna
00:19:30.840
come tell me i'm like good enough to do this i'm just gonna have to fucking do it yeah and i made it
00:19:35.040
my mission bro and i took it personal and like you know like you guys hear me i i'll chirp sometimes
00:19:40.620
about the shit people used to talk to me about and you know get a real job you know when you're
00:19:44.580
gonna grow up when i took that shit personal and i fucking poured it in i said you know what i'm
00:19:48.520
gonna show you motherfuckers and that's what the fuck i did and um i suggest that when you're young
00:19:54.980
and you're in the beginning uh you should adopt a similar mentality that you're gonna show every
00:19:59.280
motherfucker that ever doubted you uh in your entire life what the fuck you're made of and what
00:20:03.980
you're you're going to create and and i think that's a healthy attitude you know society now
00:20:09.060
they're so fucking soft they try to like say oh that's that's not a healthy thing what difference
00:20:13.060
does it make if you fucking get there it doesn't fucking make a difference because if you get there
00:20:16.880
now you've created a life for yourself and you've created all kinds of different jobs for the people
00:20:22.080
all kinds of different people like like there's a lot of people out there that don't know shit
00:20:26.320
giving advice about shit that they shouldn't be that's basically the bottom line you know so the
00:20:30.180
biggest asset that you have is to be ignorant not listening to those motherfuckers and just
00:20:34.280
fucking go love it man i love it andy question number two moving right along andy i am 34 years
00:20:40.400
old i've been working in the tech industry for a long time i know this isn't what i want for the
00:20:45.980
rest of my life it pays great supports my family however i'm unhappy my passion is in fitness and
00:20:51.400
that's what i love i love helping people and getting better every single day i'm not a coach just
00:20:55.860
something i have a passion for i'm just worried about my financial situation if i go for it
00:21:01.500
should i go for it and risk the financial stability or stay put since i'm easily able to support my
00:21:07.300
family where i'm at what are your thoughts on this well i don't know man because like dude you you're
00:21:11.680
you're not you're only giving me part of the thought process let me give you another part that you need
00:21:15.520
to think about um just because when you're when your passion is let's just say fitness and it becomes
00:21:23.380
your career you lose the passion for it the way you had it before okay nobody talks about that nobody
00:21:29.540
does talk about that because now it becomes a career and now like while you may still enjoy it
00:21:35.120
that you you because there's things about work that none of us fucking like every single person that
00:21:40.840
has to work has to do shit that they don't fucking like that's the reality there's parts of my job that
00:21:46.540
i have to do even today that i don't enjoy and i'm not passionate about right but i do them
00:21:52.040
because it's important to myself it's important to the brands it's important to people that i employ
00:21:59.160
so i fucking do them and i do them well all right so we have to understand there's always going to be
00:22:04.080
things that we don't want to do that we have to fucking do that's the reality and because people
00:22:11.180
talk about passion so much in this day and age people think that they're going to walk into a
00:22:18.880
career and their passion in this case fitness and it's going to be fucking beautiful this it's going
00:22:25.660
to be like fucking people playing harps and like really want to check the factory yeah like and
00:22:31.200
that's not reality it's not even close to reality because at the end of the day it's a fucking business
00:22:36.240
now it's not just something you're enjoying so my first question to this person would be do you want
00:22:41.580
to give up your main sense of enjoyment to make it part of your job because there's going to be parts
00:22:47.100
of that job even though you're passionate about it that you don't like that's something to ask
00:22:50.920
yourself then something to ask yourself is this what's the long-term outlook economically for myself
00:22:57.120
going down the furthest possible path in both areas okay then there's the question of this how
00:23:04.560
happy will i be will i be more happy with the path that makes more money or will i be more happy with
00:23:09.780
the path that makes less money but also understanding the path that makes less money may also be just as
00:23:15.560
unenjoyable as the thing i'm doing now okay so like there's a lot of things to evaluate for sure
00:23:20.660
now here's what i'll say about passion and this is where it's important it's not important for the
00:23:26.660
reason that most of these gurus on the internet say it's important it's that's they're they're full
00:23:30.660
of shit okay let me tell you why it's important it's important because there is a time all right when
00:23:37.020
i started in business on day one and it took me three years to get a fucking start getting a
00:23:43.280
fucking paycheck okay what do you think carried me through those three years when i wasn't getting
00:23:49.880
paid it was my passion for training and lifting and working out and athletics and sports and sharing
00:23:56.280
that passion with my customers okay that passion is important not because everything's going to be
00:24:05.580
great but because when you have passion for something that you're doing you're more likely
00:24:10.940
to endure the hard times and and and go through them where other people who are not passionate they
00:24:16.900
will quit at that time so it gives you an advantage over people who aren't passionate does that make
00:24:22.240
sense absolutely all right so that's where passion is valuable now a lot of people like to paint this
00:24:27.240
butterfly fucking happy bullshit fucking story around passion but if you notice those same people will go
00:24:33.620
from thing to thing to thing and then when it doesn't work what do they say i'm not passionate
00:24:36.940
about that anymore well motherfucker what you're really not passionate about is the hard work it
00:24:41.200
takes to be fucking great at that thing that you're trying to do so let's not talk about it as passion let's
00:24:46.560
talk about it as work work is hard there's going to be hard things that have to be done when you go to
00:24:53.160
a gourmet restaurant and you sit down and you have the finest fucking meal that you've ever had
00:24:58.260
30 feet away from you there's a whole bunch of people sweating their fucking asses off working
00:25:03.080
their asses off to make that happen for you to deliver that and there's no difference in anything
00:25:08.360
that you choose whether it be your uh what did he say he did uh he's in tech yeah whether it be tech
00:25:13.940
whether it be fitness whether it be becoming a restaurateur whether it be becoming a race car
00:25:19.780
driver it doesn't fucking matter there's a shit ton of work that goes involved that people don't
00:25:24.780
understand right and so like you have to fucking understand that like just because and by the way
00:25:31.000
this is the truth grass always does look greener from the other side of the fence all right especially
00:25:36.960
in your career you know oh dude like dude we get this shit at first form dude like people think that
00:25:42.740
we're running around all day with our fucking phones out you know doing jumping jacks in the
00:25:46.620
fucking gym yeah i'll be long yeah having a fucking great dude look do we have fun here fuck yeah
00:25:52.440
but do we work hard here fuck yeah we work hard that fucking slogan that we use we do the work
00:25:57.840
that's not from the gym that's from life okay so like you know we have to be realistic about things
00:26:05.760
we have to set realistic expectations and just because you're passionate about in this case it
00:26:10.740
happens to be fitness doesn't mean that you're going to enjoy making that your entire life so like
00:26:16.140
these are questions to evaluate so i can't really tell you what to do but you should think it through
00:26:20.660
yeah absolutely kai i want to ask you this and if you can dispel this myth i feel like it's a
00:26:26.360
common one i think people tend to tend to kind of lump together passion and the financial success
00:26:34.560
part of it right like if you're passionate like it automatically is going to equal money do you think
00:26:39.580
that is true no no not at all not at all can it be true it can be true but it's not it's not
00:26:46.640
fucking it's not binary binary true like you have this you have it like it's not like that like it's
00:26:53.000
it can be true i am passionate about fitness i am like bro i i am passionate about working out
00:27:00.740
you know i am dude i am passionate about seeing people change their lives because i've changed my
00:27:05.900
life and i know how fucking amazing it is after doing that work all right what i tell you the
00:27:10.700
other day bro if we could create a product dude dj and i were talking on saturday and actually nate
00:27:15.380
and i were talking about this uh nate in the gym uh bro if you if you could create a product
00:27:23.760
this is a product if you motherfuckers create this dude you're gonna be a billionaire
00:27:28.160
all right i'm gonna give you a free one you figure it the fuck out but if you could create
00:27:32.920
a and in a day in the life of your ideal life okay like if you could like like if i could take
00:27:43.000
fucking loser fat fucking stupid dickhead andy all right and then like let him live a day that andy
00:27:50.860
now lives like you know take 19 year old andy all right 20 25 year old andy 30 year old andy who
00:27:57.920
was all all the same because i didn't really grow that during that time
00:28:02.920
and let him walk a fucking a fucking day with me now dude i would have worked a hundred times harder
00:28:08.400
i would have fucking done anything you know and it's like you could take a person and show them
00:28:14.120
for 24 hours what it was like to live in a healthy fit body what it was like to earn the money you want
00:28:20.260
to earn what it was like to have the life that you want to have bro you motherfuckers would you you
00:28:26.080
would work a thousand times harder because the real problem is that most people have never experienced
00:28:30.980
any semblance of this at all so they have no idea how much better it is and what the fuck they have
00:28:37.320
or they think it's too far away yeah bro but like dude if you could create what that felt like for
00:28:42.720
people and just give them one day it would change their whole fucking lives this is why it's important
00:28:47.060
for you to be in proximity to people that are successful absolutely absolutely but anyhow i don't
00:28:52.020
what were we talking about you know just combining passion and financial gain oh yeah no i think i think
00:28:57.900
passion can help dude yeah passion will make you great all right you will never be great without
00:29:03.220
passion nobody's great michael jordan would not exist if michael jordan was not fucking passionate
00:29:08.740
about the game of basketball same for lebron james you can say whatever you want about him i don't care
00:29:14.180
he's the fucking all-time point sleep look dude i'm not a big personal fan of like some of the shit
00:29:19.240
that he says and does yeah but you got to respect what the motherfucker does he's a fucking he's
00:29:23.720
he works it's un-fucking-deniable he couldn't be that good if he wasn't passionate about it yeah
00:29:29.400
you see what i'm saying so like passionate is a prerequisite in my opinion to becoming like one
00:29:35.580
of the greatest at what you do um but not everybody's wired that way bro most people are
00:29:41.800
wired for balance most people are wired for you know for for for a certain amount of time at home a
00:29:48.200
day a certain amount of time at work that's how their fucking brain is wired up two vacations a year
00:29:52.980
yeah and dude that's not listen i'm not shitting on that because that's the majority of people
00:29:57.360
i'm just saying like if you want to be great passion is a requirement of that in my opinion
00:30:02.200
and i don't think there's anybody who's uh the wright brothers were passionate about fucking creating
00:30:09.020
the fucking human flight they they spent their entire lives creating it you see what i'm saying
00:30:14.300
absolutely like the best creations and the best things in in business come from people who are
00:30:19.380
passionate but that's not everybody so like you have to like evaluate what's for you
00:30:26.540
right like like i don't know this person like dude yes you you if i stand in a fucking theater full of
00:30:33.040
people and i raise your raise your hand if you want to be great every motherfucker's going to raise
00:30:37.280
their hand and say yeah i want to be great but if i say okay now do you here's what you got to do to
00:30:43.760
do it are you willing to do that right who's willing to suffer for the next 10 years who's like bro like
00:30:49.020
if there's a disconnect there everybody wants the fucking steak but nobody wants to fucking butcher
00:30:54.640
the cow you see what i'm saying and like bro that's a real that's a real disconnect in society
00:31:00.260
because like dude we look around on the internet and everybody's rich and everybody's famous and
00:31:04.220
everybody's full of steaks yeah nobody's showing the butcher process bro it's it's it's full of
00:31:10.720
fucking them lab grown steaks yeah right impossible yeah right you know there's very few real steaks on
00:31:17.760
the internet you know i'm saying that's real but like we have this disconnect in the reality of what
00:31:22.500
the situation is and you know i i just try to tell you guys the truth about what it's going to take
00:31:27.840
like if you if you want you can be very successful you can make seven figure income without passion
00:31:35.380
you can do it by just being skilled but you ain't going to make a nine figure income you ain't going
00:31:41.620
to build multi-billion dollar company you ain't going to be considered one of the greatest to ever
00:31:45.560
do what it is that you do without that passion so you have to consider like are you at 34 years old are
00:31:51.160
you willing to fucking start at zero and rebuild to have this or are you willing to just understand that
00:32:00.560
you have this career that can do very well it's going to provide for you and your family and you're
00:32:05.740
going to remain passionate about this it's a real decision yeah for sure yeah absolutely man
00:32:11.320
guys andy like bro i'm passionate about cars right fucking love cars bro i don't make cars my business
00:32:18.720
you know why i don't make cars my business because every motherfucking friend i know that has made cars
00:32:22.980
their business ends up hating cars i don't want to hate cars yeah like i like cars when i walk in my
00:32:28.960
garage and i look around i'm like fuck this is sweet you know what i'm saying like it's like
00:32:33.080
real life hot wheels in here yeah you know right right and uh yeah but like i like that and i would
00:32:39.600
never want to start a business in the car industry because i don't want to lose that fucking feeling i
00:32:43.660
have about that passion which is one of the only few passions i have in life see what i'm saying
00:32:48.520
absolutely man thinking about it the way it actually it sounds i think it would be pretty fucking
00:32:54.620
sweet if you came out and manufactured your own fucking car with none of the no i'm gonna buy
00:32:59.000
lamborghini i am i'm gonna buy lamborghini i'm gonna fire motherfuckers to give me that car a
00:33:05.380
couple years ago i love that oh we gotta we're gonna have to talk about that on that we never told
00:33:09.080
a story we're gonna have to talk about that yeah that's a that's a great race team sponsor
00:33:12.680
factory race team sponsor win the world championship and their fucking race team
00:33:18.920
yeah i sold all my lambos in one day people don't know that story it's a great story i sold
00:33:25.740
them all in one day yeah and then i i shipped in i bought i i had at that time i had three lambos
00:33:31.920
i sold them all three i bought two ferraris which i'd never owned a ferrari in my life
00:33:35.600
you go back and listen to back in the day bro i used to shit on ferraris here's the coolest thing
00:33:40.860
about it is that i took a video of the cars leaving and the ferrari's coming and i sent it for
00:33:46.380
those motherfuckers at lamb a lamborghini oh yeah yeah yeah that's a great fucking story yeah
00:33:51.280
i test one day i'll tell the whole story yeah they've actually made it they've actually done
00:33:55.000
some efforts to try and make it right since then i just never really got back into one um but
00:34:00.320
yeah i mean yeah one day i'm gonna be the boss of that motherfucker yeah we walk it through and
00:34:06.540
they're gonna be like hey i'm like yeah you're the motherfucker you give me that thing fire yeah
00:34:10.320
dj take him out nah real talk though i'd rather own the cardinals
00:34:14.460
that now that'd be fucking dope like legitimately yeah st louis cardinals not yeah not arizona
00:34:20.700
no yeah that's not the other cardinals that don't count no that's not even a real team but
00:34:26.100
who yeah where right ever what guys andy our third and final question no offense you guys from
00:34:35.840
the cardinals just teasing you uh andy question number three andy what are your thoughts on taking
00:34:44.120
pride in your abilities or skills i found it increasingly more difficult for people to respect
00:34:50.160
my craft or the work that i do um and i take so much uh pride in and so much time on building
00:34:56.600
am i putting too much emphasis on the idea of pride how do you look at it i think people spend
00:35:04.800
far too much time worrying about how other people judge their work and far less time learning how to
00:35:11.020
be great at what they do i think people spend far too much time trying to be famous or pretend like
00:35:19.520
they're good instead of just putting their head down and becoming highly skilled and undeniably good
00:35:24.280
and i do not care if people recognize me or my skill i do not fucking care the real world results
00:35:34.360
recognize me enough i do not need other people's recognition i don't care most people think i'm a
00:35:40.280
fucking idiot they're like oh you ever heard this guy talking fucking curse yeah you know what i do curse
00:35:44.900
you're an idiot if you think that is something to do with someone's intelligence you know what i'm
00:35:49.380
saying i'm sorry i don't speak eloquently yeah right you know for your fucking fancy dinner
00:35:53.740
motherfucker right you know but i'm pretty good at a couple other things pass the motherfucking
00:35:57.360
bread yeah that's right in fact i'll take the check too bitch you see what i'm saying so like i don't
00:36:03.540
i don't fucking care and like you shouldn't either i think these are distractions i think worrying about
00:36:09.220
how much recognition we get and there's a saying right and if you're a leader it's important
00:36:14.800
to give recognition but if you're a leader i think it's also important to not care about
00:36:18.900
recognition personally yeah but there's a saying people people will work for money but they'll kill
00:36:24.120
for recognition and that shows you in my opinion that people are far too worried about things that
00:36:30.520
really don't matter when in reality if you're fucking great at what you do and you're undeniable
00:36:36.180
what you do people have to recognize that you put them in a place where they have to recognize that
00:36:41.400
you're fucking great like when the real world evidence is so overwhelming that you're that great
00:36:46.880
like you you're you're not really concerned if people think you're great or not great like you're
00:36:51.720
just you just are and you're you're who you are and i feel like young people especially get so caught
00:36:57.880
up in this game of like respect and recognition oh they're not respecting my work well motherfucker
00:37:04.620
you've only been doing it for two fucking years you know how many people there are better than you
00:37:08.300
in fact you don't even recognize that you have the amazing opportunity to even be sitting in that
00:37:13.900
fucking chair that you're fucking sitting in you see what i'm saying so there's there's perspectives
00:37:18.760
of respect and recognition and i feel like young people and i was like this when i was younger too so
00:37:26.060
i'm not talking shit i wasted a lot of time thinking about like like i want to make this clear i'm not
00:37:31.000
shitting on you guys that you're young i was the same way i'm trying to tell you that i wasted a lot
00:37:35.660
of time thinking the same way that you fucking think when had i just put my head down and develop
00:37:40.760
the skills necessary i would have been where i was like where i'm at now literally probably maybe 10
00:37:47.200
years ago and it would have been an undeniable like ridiculous success story of fuck you know what i'm
00:37:52.340
saying i i it's it's it's not gonna matter to you like when you are great like when you are great
00:37:58.680
at what you do you're not gonna care if people think you're great you're not gonna fucking care
00:38:03.460
because you're gonna know you're great and you're producing real results and dude the open market
00:38:08.080
and this is why capitalism ethical capitalism is such a great thing recognizes that like if you're
00:38:13.220
not getting if you're great at what you do and you're producing undeniable work and you're not
00:38:16.820
getting what the money you need or whatever it is you somebody else gonna give it to you that's the
00:38:22.260
benefit and i think you know we as young people uh when we're young we start to you know we get caught
00:38:28.960
up in this it's culture like dude oh you fucking put some respect to my name oh you're disrespecting
00:38:33.620
me well fuck bro like real talk what have you done to earn respect what skills you see what i'm saying
00:38:39.700
absolutely so like dude absolutely concern yourself less with trying to get the approval of a bunch of
00:38:44.920
people and concern yourself more with becoming undeniably great and that the recognition that you're
00:38:50.740
looking for will automatically come yeah see what i'm saying like like dude like like don't try to
00:38:56.260
manufacture the recognition or the respect manufacture the result and the recognition
00:39:01.540
the respect come with that that makes sense i would say that's that's people's biggest issues
00:39:06.060
because that's how it fucking works they try to give themselves way way more credit than they
00:39:09.620
actually yeah but dude you're not fooling anybody right because there's motherfuckers like me to been
00:39:13.360
in the game for a fucking quarter century dude like i look at a motherfucker like oh you're not
00:39:17.480
respect bro i've seen you do this like you've been doing this for a year and a half like you're
00:39:21.580
really not that good in fact i'm giving you a tremendous opportunity to fucking develop
00:39:25.920
and and i'm giving you you see what i'm saying absolutely like there's perspective to this and
00:39:30.100
like so we have to recognize that even though we may think we're so fucking great like there's people
00:39:35.160
out here that are gonna fucking look at your shit and be like you ain't there yet you know the great
00:39:40.580
is the people who actually are great they still don't think they're there yet no and when you are
00:39:44.220
that great people are like fighting to get you like that's the reality like if your shit was
00:39:50.660
if you were really as great as what you think you are there would be a line out the door waiting
00:39:58.400
for people to fucking pick you up pay you hire you fucking all that shit that that like like a lot
00:40:05.520
of these i see a lot of these dudes trying to become speakers and shit right and then they think
00:40:10.320
that because they've been doing it for a while that they're good at it no bro here's how you know
00:40:16.660
you're great at it you know how you know how you know you're great at speaking how many people stopped
00:40:21.020
us on their fucking walk today about five five fucking people in public we walk normally we walk
00:40:26.440
a private route today we rucked a public route there was cars that stopped while we were walking down
00:40:31.620
the road there was four of them yeah four four cars that stopped while we were walking on the road
00:40:36.540
to thank the thank us for the content thank us for fucking like bro that people you'll know
00:40:43.140
you'll know you'll know people will be begging to hire you people will be begging to pay you
00:40:48.460
you'll know and that's when you'll you'll get the recognition yeah but most people want the
00:40:53.200
recognition of a highly skilled individual with medium skills and that doesn't work like that bro
00:40:57.740
you're never going to get it so i love that analogy you use it's like you know when you walk out your
00:41:02.640
door and you got people lining up to fucking shake your hand and say thank you you made it so when
00:41:06.480
you open your door and it's not there get back to work that's it yeah i like that that's that's it's that
00:41:11.500
simple dude the real world will tell you like it'll let you know i love that man well guys andy
00:41:17.680
that was three you know what's funny too dude is the the best people at whatever they do they don't
00:41:23.320
believe they're that good that's right yeah that's yeah like like bro and you and people are like
00:41:27.500
confused by that well let me explain this to you this is also the same reason why the people that you
00:41:32.620
see who are the most successful who don't have to work are also the hardest working people
00:41:37.420
okay you're not connecting the dots the reason they are who they are is because of the hard work
00:41:43.780
that they've been doing that you witness now but they've been doing their whole life and you're
00:41:47.640
looking at them and you're saying well you know you're you like you don't have to fucking do that
00:41:53.920
work and you're not connecting the dot that the whole reason that you're looking at them in amazement
00:41:58.180
like holy shit here's this human in front of me that's this person the whole reason they're there
00:42:03.500
it's because of that work i think that you think they don't have to do that make sense it makes
00:42:08.100
sense so like dude when you see like the truly great people like when you talk to them because
00:42:11.960
i had the privilege to be around some of the best people in the world at what they do like they're
00:42:17.820
very very very fucking best the biggest names in the fucking world i've been around them they don't
00:42:22.000
even think they're that great dude like they're they are way more humble than the average joe walking
00:42:26.200
down the street motherfucker ain't this shit yeah like you talk to some of these guys and you're like bro
00:42:31.200
what was it like they're like you know like i talked to steve wozniak this motherfucker
00:42:34.320
invented technology pretty much dude okay like go go look at the rolodex of technology steve wozniak
00:42:39.860
talking to this dude and i'm like well what was this like he's like oh that was it was cool you know
00:42:47.820
we did our best it worked out okay you know like it wasn't like like he's still he's like we could
00:42:53.400
have done this and this and this better you see what i'm saying like it's a difference in thinking
00:42:57.420
like and and the people in the middle are the most cocky they're the most arrogant they're the
00:43:02.180
most fucking they're the most they're the people that raise the flag for recognition and shit
00:43:07.000
and like people like this you know like fucking dude i got to interview peyte manning one time
00:43:11.880
like at fucking rt life like this dude is one of like the greatest fucking players ever and he's also
00:43:17.920
like the nicest dude ever and the coolest shit and like no ego whatsoever but you know he's got one
00:43:24.080
on the inside or he wouldn't be able to do what he fucking does right you see what i'm saying but
00:43:27.740
he's but like dude this dude this dude is looking to get better and whatever like dude after the talk
00:43:32.440
he's like andy what'd you think i'm like i thought it was fucking awesome dude you know and but like
00:43:39.140
he's like thinking like all right well what can i you know like here's this dude asking me like how
00:43:44.460
you know what i'm saying like ever these people are always trying to get better at everything they do
00:43:49.560
they're not worried about they know that if they're better that the fucking shit will come with it
00:43:53.420
the money the fame the claps the recognition the respect that all comes from skill so concentrate
00:43:59.260
on the fucking skill dude because the skill will pay the motherfucking bills i like that i know like
00:44:04.760
that can i actually one more one more follow up on that because like listen to this i feel like
00:44:09.560
there's a there's a pattern here and i feel like it has to come to a time where like your maturity
00:44:15.160
reaches that for you to actually understand that and would you say the only reason you don't think you
00:44:20.280
you know like you have that outlook on the credit and all of that is because you actually have it and
00:44:24.880
it's something you don't really appreciate until you actually have it you understand what i'm saying
00:44:28.980
that could be like it's just like money right like money did not become a thing until you actually
00:44:34.120
already had it like well i'm trying to think back of how i was before yeah you know like i i think that's
00:44:39.800
a fair i think that's a pretty fair assessment because i think even if you go back and listen to me
00:44:43.660
you know in the beginning of my show i think i was i think i was a little more cocky than i even am
00:44:50.280
now you know now it's more like maturity and i feel confident in what i'm saying where back then i
00:44:55.860
still felt like i was proving shit now i don't feel like i have to prove shit like bro i can look
00:44:59.940
you proved it i mean we got a long way to go but like what we've what we've done is pretty exceptional
00:45:06.460
in the short amount of time we've been doing it so yeah there's that's that's a fair that's a fair
00:45:12.500
statement yeah i just think of like like it's hard to tell somebody who's never had a million dollars
00:45:17.080
that a million dollars isn't a lot of money well it is a lot of money to anybody even if you have a
00:45:20.980
billion dollars but you understand what i'm saying like make it a small one i don't know a hundred
00:45:24.820
thousand dollars it's hard to tell somebody like a hundred thousand dollars is not a lot of money
00:45:28.620
until they've actually had a hundred thousand dollars yeah yeah i mean that's a it's a fair it's a fair
00:45:32.980
comparison yeah you know i'm just trying to offer my perspective from where i'm at now
00:45:37.380
for maybe the the me the andy that's out there that's 20 years old or 25 or 30 or 34
00:45:45.380
who's trying to get their shit together yeah and i can tell you this the younger andy worried a lot
00:45:50.080
about respect and fucking uh recognition but the younger andy sucked at what the fuck he did
00:45:56.740
so he didn't get the shit because he sucked at it and i can comfortably say that you know what i
00:46:01.500
mean absolutely bro so like let's you're probably right i mean it's easier for me to see that now
00:46:06.980
i definitely didn't see that then because like if someone would have walked up to me and said hey
00:46:10.640
you fucking suck which they did i get my feelings hurt i was crushed now if someone walks up to me
00:46:16.660
and says hey you fucking suck i'd be like okay you know like like yeah yeah i think that's a fair i
00:46:27.560
think that's fair perspective yeah all right well i love it man try to have try if you're young to
00:46:33.260
have the perspective try to hold the perspective that that you're that you got a long way to go
00:46:38.300
yeah you know i'm saying i think that serves me you know when people when people come up to me and
00:46:42.400
they say oh congratulations or they say something nice about whatever whatever project it is or
00:46:47.540
whatever you know like i i usually always say man i got a long way to go and the reason i say that
00:46:52.160
is to keep myself fucking focused on on moving forward and not get drunk off the fucking praise
00:46:57.120
that i get from other people which i truly appreciate from you guys and i know sometimes
00:47:01.280
you guys think i'm like brushing it under the rug but the re the reason that i brush it off is because
00:47:07.240
i don't want it to stick because i don't want to lose that hunger and that drive to continue to press
00:47:11.640
forward by thinking that i'm actually really good like if you could crack open my head right now and
00:47:16.140
like look at like how i rate myself bro like i rate myself at like a fucking 30 of what i should
00:47:21.940
be you know what i mean like it's i feel just like you guys fucking feel you know what i mean absolutely
00:47:27.860
that's necessary yeah and you want to keep it you want to keep it that way that's the thing like
00:47:32.900
people will say well that's not healthy andy you don't give yourself enough credit you don't
00:47:35.660
i don't want the credit i want to stay hungry you know i want to keep moving i got obligations here i got
00:47:42.020
people to take care of i got careers that i'm worried about i got i've got the opportunity to
00:47:46.700
do something iconic in history like i want to do that you know and i don't want to lose my focus
00:47:52.400
because i think i'm fucking you know whatever the fuck made it yeah yeah i'm never you never make it
00:47:58.580
you never fucking make it that's the thing i was thinking about that on a ruck this morning too is
00:48:02.700
like how many people fuck themselves because they they they decide at the beginning i'm gonna get to
00:48:10.120
this point and then i'm done and they never get to that point but the reason they never get to that
00:48:14.720
point is because to get to this point you have to shoot like way over here because so much shit's
00:48:19.880
going to go wrong during that time that you're going to end up here like it's that saying right
00:48:24.400
shoot for the moon you'll land among the stars there's a lot of truth to that so like if you're
00:48:28.580
20 and you say when i'm 40 i want to have 100 million dollars and i want to retire well then you
00:48:33.920
better plan on having like 10 billion dollars by 40 and you better work like that to have your 100
00:48:38.900
million absolutely you know what i'm saying especially because of inflation yeah no shit
00:48:42.720
but here's the thing you're going to get to that 40 and you may have your 100 and you're going to say
00:48:48.040
fuck i got 20 years in this bro another three or four i could get to here yeah that's a constantly
00:48:53.400
yeah that's real man you know it's a listen the whole process is that you have to constantly audit
00:48:59.600
your own mentality during the whole process because if you don't it's easy when you when you rise
00:49:06.720
slightly above where everybody else is uh financially success wise to for every for you to believe that
00:49:13.540
you're like a fucking hero but dude what you what you what you are is you're just a little bit better
00:49:17.960
than everybody else and that's that's nothing to really celebrate i don't think you know what would
00:49:22.700
be really cool is to become totally exceptional and then help pull these people up with you
00:49:26.860
absolutely i don't know man there's a lot we could talk about this all day because it's like a lot of
00:49:32.200
different ways to think about it but you know i think dude focus on the skills don't worry about
00:49:36.600
the recognition focus on getting better when you have wins acknowledge the wins hey that was great
00:49:42.020
get back to work keep moving and realize that like you ain't shit like bro like real talk like a lot of
00:49:47.440
you guys you know you guys see me as like this very successful human being but like in my eyes i don't
00:49:53.980
think that way because i'm i look at motherfuckers like elon musk and i'm like fuck that guy's 10 years
00:49:59.460
older than me and look where he's at building fucking rockets i'm way behind right you know
00:50:03.380
like i don't know everybody's free to think about their life in their own way i'm just explaining
00:50:08.520
how i think about it yeah well guys andy that was three yeah go pay the fee
00:50:15.000
went from sleeping on the floor now my jury box froze fuck a pole fuck a stole counted millions in the
00:50:22.140
cold bad bitch booted swole got her own bankroll can't fold doesn't know headshot case close
