anything like this it's insane thank you bro thank you been a long road yeah but all the worthwhile
00:02:17.760
things are a long road for sure man for sure so dude so let's let's just start at the beginning man
00:02:24.640
you know how'd you get so fucking fat bro that's a fucking good question bro i just want to be real
00:02:31.660
because like i got a story about my fatness too man no bro i grew up as the fat kid like 16 or sorry
00:02:37.060
from zero to 16 years old i was the fat kid but i was a funny fat kid so i wasn't getting picked on
00:02:41.780
or anything like that but i had a great childhood but at 16 i realized man like if i was gonna get
00:02:47.020
any girls bro i gotta get in shape yeah and so from 16 i just went on a grind so i was in high school at
00:02:53.040
the time and we would i would run around the high school track during my lunch and then after school
00:02:57.820
i'd crush the weights at the gym in our school and then bro i did that from 16 to 22 i was on top of
00:03:03.860
all my shit for like five years living breathing fitness i'd go home watch kai green videos ronnie
00:03:10.100
coleman phil heath like this was my life for five five six years and then man and at 22 i started my
00:03:16.640
business got a girlfriend at the same time and i went from a broke college kid to making like i was
00:03:22.000
living off a thousand bucks a semester to finally pulling in some money like we we got we saw instant
00:03:27.840
results like it's not the typical yeah well it's different time bro you guys got the technology stuff
00:03:32.880
and it's you know everybody's story is a little different exactly like we didn't struggle that
00:03:37.080
hard like i everyone talks about their come up story being such a difficult thing and we got just
00:03:41.320
super blessed and so we started making money right away and so now i just had access to money so bro
00:03:47.080
uber eats every fucking meal like i did not give a fuck every meal was takeout and then that just
00:03:53.220
slowly snowballed into five years of me just being 350 pounds and people think i got to 350 pounds in
00:04:00.020
five years no bro it was literally within one year i gained like 120 pounds just fucking full 180 the
00:04:06.680
opposite direction bro that's very similar what i did too it's wild man yeah and just doing that and
00:04:12.480
then also getting the girlfriend was part of the issue because i the first weight loss i did was
00:04:17.440
because to try to get girls right so once i got the girlfriend once i had the business started making
00:04:22.900
money i felt like i made it i didn't need to do the things that got me to that place i didn't need to
00:04:27.700
continue doing that anymore and so bro one workout i'd skip a workout to kind of work on my business
00:04:33.380
and like just rationalize like yo it's okay one day you need to get this done you need to get this
00:04:38.620
done it just snowballed and snowballed and i was 350 pounds bro life got fucked like at 350 pounds
00:04:43.920
i would i was like avoiding mirrors i'd hop out of the shower dude i'd hop out of the shower put my
00:04:50.580
shirt on before i popped in front of the mirror but to fix my hair or some shit like that's how bad it
00:04:54.900
was i would take ubers to places that were five minute walks away legit to the point where my
00:04:59.480
friends would get there first walking and they'd get the table and then i'd go sit with them and
00:05:03.700
i'd be late because i was waiting for the uber yeah i can't even think of all the other fuck things
00:05:08.160
that happen like bro i would be sitting on my couch thirsty as fuck like so thirsty and i'd wait for
00:05:14.860
someone to get up so i could be like yo yo grab me a water real quick and it's not like at 350 pounds
00:05:20.540
bro you're you could get up it's just that was the sheer level of laziness i was in like yeah you're
00:05:24.960
not fucking 700 pounds you could get up yeah you know what i mean it's just that's how different my
00:05:30.080
life was yeah and like bro a day in the life of bish back then like i'd wake up i'd roll over in bed
00:05:36.700
instantly in the uber eats app like as if it was like some fucking social media app like i was looking
00:05:41.840
through all the food bro you just fucking like like brought me back to like a memory that i
00:05:47.400
eat the shit i used to do yeah you said that because like bro i used to wake up and like the
00:05:51.820
first thing i thought about was what the fuck i was gonna eat for real like the first thing ever
00:05:55.740
it hasn't been a long time since i thought that way honestly i forgot about it same yeah it's like
00:05:59.800
the first thing i do now is wake up chug of water and instantly go for my morning run like it's such
00:06:04.820
a different mindset shit but yeah bro i'd i'd crush i'd uber or order whatever i had on uber eats then go
00:06:11.260
to the balcony smoke a shit ton of cigarettes chug a bunch of coffees and literally just wait for the
00:06:16.080
food to arrive i'd grab it from the door take it to my bedroom sit on my laptop just work all day
00:06:21.180
while i'm munching that shit and that was my life like yeah literally every single day i worked from
00:06:25.540
home i didn't we didn't have an office we don't have an office we just worked from home so i was
00:06:28.740
in bed most of the day just crushing work on my laptop while eating food and every meal was like an
00:06:33.900
all-you-can-eat buffet like yeah you were ordering all the appetizers bro yeah it wasn't like same shit
00:06:38.860
yeah it wasn't like you know i'm ordering one sandwich like bro it was an all-you-can-eat buffet i was
00:06:42.960
brimming all day yeah i get it dude i i was that's how i was eating too um your story is very
00:06:49.920
parallel to mine um i get i went i was an athlete i was always in pretty decent shape and i would
00:06:58.120
struggle my weight i grew up fucking chubby right so it was always a fight for me and then i would go
00:07:04.080
from these phases of losing weight gaining weight losing weight gaining weight and i could never shift
00:07:09.640
my mental to the point where i could keep it off like it would it was always like when i finished
00:07:15.620
and this is why i get so pissed off when i see people finish 75 hard and go right back to their
00:07:19.720
old shit like oh i'm celebrating with a cake and a bottle of whiskey it's like bro you just spent 75
00:07:25.420
days working to get away from that shit that made you fucking miserable you go right back to it
00:07:29.860
and like because i could never conquer that i could never conquer the once i got into shape now it's time
00:07:37.120
to party mindset right and it would just lead me right back to the same thing over and over and
00:07:41.860
over again and then i did like you like you did i got wrapped up in business and uh i put on 100
00:07:48.560
fucking pounds in like a year yeah man gas station food and fucking bullshit you know what i'm saying
00:07:53.620
like like for real dude like they built a quick trip right we got gas station circle quick trip yeah
00:07:58.680
and they got fucking roller food i love i love cheap roller food bro like i'm like a fucking
00:08:02.860
you know i don't know it's like my jam i get in there jalapeno chips and yeah 5 000 calories and
00:08:10.160
i go there two three times a day yeah you know what i'm saying that's that's crazy dude um so what
00:08:17.440
you're clearly a different person now because like you're not just on it you're staying like it's not
00:08:25.140
a this is you're not going back no um this last time that you decided that okay i'm fucking doing this
00:08:32.860
how did that come about bro so i had like a bunch of wake-up calls throughout like the whole five
00:08:38.320
years i was fat there was a bunch of wake-up calls but they never stuck because nothing gave me the
00:08:42.660
structure i needed to actually make it a lifelong thing like bro i tell this story all the time which
00:08:47.180
is actually fuck like i one day i'm like working on my laptop right i'm just crushing work and i
00:08:51.980
i feel like this white flashing light in my eye so i go to the bathroom to see like what's going on
00:08:57.740
do i have something in my eye and then all of a sudden this huge gush rushes down my entire body
00:09:03.460
and i'm in pure panic mode i'm like holy fuck i'm about to die i call my boy mike and i'm like bro
00:09:08.640
i'm dying call 911 i think i'm having a stroke i'm having a heart attack and i was so scared that i would
00:09:14.340
pass out before the paramedics came so i bust open the door and i go downstairs to meet the paramedics
00:09:19.460
in the front of the building and i'm sitting there in the back of the ambulance in the gurney
00:09:23.420
strapped up to a shit ton of machines like my chest everything they're checking my blood pressure
00:09:27.740
my heart rate ekgs and bro i kid you not sitting in that gurney my heart rate was 180 beats per minute
00:09:33.700
just fucking chilling in that gurney and then bro i was terrified i'm calling my brother i'm saying like
00:09:39.320
yo i love you bro i'm about to die like say bye to mom and dad like i was i thought that was it for me
00:09:43.940
we get to the hospital and you know they run every single test in the book like everything and it turns
00:09:50.200
out nothing nothing's physically wrong with me and it turned out to be just a panic attack and i've
00:09:55.320
never had that bro i like i didn't grow up with anxiety or depression or anything like that so i
00:09:59.340
don't know what that felt like and that was the scariest moment of my life and bro looking back
00:10:03.800
to that day i'm like why did that happen and the like what i think is the reason is because i lost
00:10:10.160
all sense of confidence in my health i knew i wasn't healthy anymore and so i had no trust in my
00:10:15.780
health anymore and if anyone knows me for the whole year after that panic attack i had a rough
00:10:21.540
year bro i had panic attacks almost every single day like every fucking little twitch in my arm or
00:10:26.920
every little twitch in my eye paranoid i start fucking tweaking i'm like yo yo this is it i'm about
00:10:32.400
to die like everything for every single day for a whole year yeah and it wasn't until i started
00:10:36.760
getting my health in order a little bit not this was before 75 hard but it was like i'd work out for
00:10:42.400
three four days a week like it was never full ass where it was a lifestyle change i was still the
00:10:47.060
fat kid who worked out occasionally and so that was enough to keep me coasting for another three years
00:10:52.320
where like i'm not about to break down mentally and that was it man like that was my life and so
00:10:58.000
what really got me started was on a trip to mexico we were all chilling with the boys like we end up
00:11:03.400
going and this is the prime of covid and so we used to go to these resorts to party like we were
00:11:08.320
partying from this morning till night like drinking all day eating like shit we get to this resort and
00:11:13.460
no one's on the resort except like a bunch of older people it's like a chill vibe it was prime covid
00:11:18.020
and um we get there and like the the whole trip changed from being like a party trip to being like
00:11:25.020
an enjoy let's relax let's let's explore this city and bro i couldn't walk for 10 fucking minutes
00:11:30.400
without my back flaring up like everything was a mission people all the boys wanted to do like skidoos
00:11:35.060
jet skis all that shit and i i couldn't do that like holding yourself on a jet ski while it's going
00:11:40.680
forward you'll falling off the back like everything was a mission i came back from that trip and i'm
00:11:45.440
like bro this is fucked like you couldn't even enjoy a vacation how are you going to live the rest of
00:11:49.880
your life like this so i started working out on my own for from february to about march and then march
00:11:56.320
my boy mike started asked me to do 75 hard with him again he was doing his second round and bro a little
00:12:02.700
story on that man it's actually nuts so he did 75 hard he's literally the epitome of what you talk
00:12:07.900
about which is lead by example he did 75 hard in november before the year i did it and he was alone
00:12:14.420
in the trenches no one was helping him in fact bro i'm embarrassed to say this because this is
00:12:19.340
fucking embarrassing given how how my life has changed significantly but at the time we're all
00:12:25.800
chilling my boy's having a barbecue in his backyard and we're all chilling we're drinking we're eating
00:12:31.140
like shit and mike's in my boy's home gym doing a second workout of the day and i go into the workout
00:12:36.460
to the home gym and i'm like bro like we're fucking chilling like come drink with us come party with us
00:12:42.480
come eat with us like just make it 76 hard make it another day like what's what's one day gonna do
00:12:48.680
and bro like this is that's how much i had never kept a promise you were that guy bro like it's
00:12:54.880
actually embarrassing now that i look back we've all been that guy before bro it's so embarrassing and
00:12:59.540
bro had i successfully sabotaged him like like you got to be careful who the fuck you're sabotaging
00:13:04.480
because your boys if you're friends with people as a team when one person's winning everyone's
00:13:09.200
winning that's right and so you got to be careful who you're sabotaging because if i had successfully
00:13:13.540
sabotaged him i wouldn't be sitting here right now yeah i'd still be 350 pounds looking the exact
00:13:19.100
same or i might even be dead who knows bro that's fucking awesome yeah that's an awesome story bro
00:13:23.840
thank you man it says a lot about mike too bro yeah for pushing through that shit because that's hard
00:13:28.780
that's hard to resist it is bro you know when you're when you're fucking homies are like bro
00:13:32.720
come on like you only live once exactly like bro live a little life you know all my friends stop
00:13:38.360
saying that shit to me they know it don't work no more it doesn't man yeah it's funny because everyone
00:13:42.180
at the beginning when you're just starting out something yeah everyone's like not sure because
00:13:45.880
you've said it a hundred fucking times no one believes you anymore you know what i mean like
00:13:49.340
you've said it a hundred times yeah and so eventually though when you've been on your shit for so long
00:13:54.340
they don't even try anymore no one even asked like bro when people know i'm on program they don't even
00:13:59.260
ask me to chill anymore like i'm like i'm on the program that's it bro i'm hustling now so it's crazy
00:14:05.240
like people start respecting you and respecting your word when you start respecting your own bro
00:14:10.120
exactly dude i just wrote about this this morning in my fucking post when i was out doing my ruck i was
00:14:16.580
talking about how the world will see you as you see you people think that the world sees you a certain way
00:14:21.960
and then that's how you are and then you have to change it that's not how it works when you see
00:14:26.820
yourself a certain way the world respects that and sees you that way as well and that goes for your
00:14:32.680
habits your lifestyle or anything you're trying to work on and so like we create the image that the
00:14:37.680
world accepts and other people think that the world tells us what to be and i think there is two
00:14:42.020
classes of people right you have a class of people that understand like no fuck you i'm gonna fucking
00:14:46.620
become what i want to become and that's the small percentage and the rest of the percentage
00:14:50.820
the world tells them no three or four times they're like okay i'm just gonna take my place over here
00:14:55.000
and be little and you know be small live small you know and just be a regular person and you know then
00:15:01.440
they're like why why is my life like this well fuck bro because you're not seeing yourself as the way
00:15:05.640
you should be and and and if you can't see yourself that way then you need to build yourself into someone
00:15:11.020
that you can see that way and and dude that's the whole game um it's crazy that you just said that
00:15:16.920
because i was writing about this this morning it was on my mind so how did it go your first 75
00:15:21.160
hard man like tell what were your weight at bro i like i think i started at like 350 yeah or like
00:15:27.060
330 i might have lost like 20 pounds in the first month when we got back from mexico so maybe like
00:15:32.380
330 and bro it was hard man like i chose the hardest thing to do which was running like i even to this day
00:15:37.700
bro i still fucking hate running it is like i'm i'm a heavy dude we're not i'm not like a fucking 140
00:15:42.320
pounds like running runner right so like i don't got the runner build but it was the hardest thing
00:15:46.720
for me to do and it pushed me mentally like to the brink of death every day and so every day i went
00:15:52.200
out and did that and came back and you know check that win under my belt it made regular life easier
00:15:59.420
like i could walk around now and so that was my goal i consistently chased hard for the whole 75 days
00:16:05.000
every single day for that 75 days i ran in the morning except with the exception of when i got
00:16:11.200
covid i had to do two walks that day and i was out like i had fucking a fever like highest fever i
00:16:17.040
would literally walk in the morning go home do the rest of my tasks then go to sleep for the rest of
00:16:22.060
the day wake up do the second walk for an hour and then just come home and k like for three days
00:16:26.660
but bro it's funny because i just baby stepped it for a whole you know how many times i asked myself
00:16:32.460
or told myself i was going to walk for those 75 days bro like fucking 50 out of the 75 days
00:16:37.580
but i never actually walked it's like all about just baby stepping it yeah and so like i just
00:16:42.900
trick my mind play these mental games like yo i'm gonna go for a walk today today's just take it easy
00:16:47.880
bro it's gonna be a walk day you get out there and then bro i'm already out here can i walk for 10
00:16:52.400
minutes or can i run for 10 minutes and then you know it just you just slowly etch it until 45 minutes
00:16:57.240
we're up because every day was a struggle bro like i'm not even to the point where i had anxiety when i
00:17:01.500
woke up and i'm like holy fuck bro like everything hurt you know yeah everything hurt yeah bro my
00:17:07.320
shirt because i had big tits back then bro they would move up and down so my shirt would be rubbing
00:17:12.160
up against my nipple yeah and it was tearing them up yeah it was my whole sweater was bloody my shoes
00:17:17.680
like my white shoes got so bloody from blisters from blisters and from my feet swelling up that my
00:17:23.000
toes like crossed over each other and so they were just scratching yeah it was like that man the feet
00:17:28.060
was a big thing for me the first fucking time i did it too bro yeah like that feet thing it took
00:17:32.440
me like 30 days to get through for sure it was bad the first 15 days if you're not trained for it are
00:17:37.580
fucking brutal on your feet for sure and shin splints too man shin splints were hectic yeah yeah man that
00:17:42.680
was like the whole 75 days and bro i remember that day 76 so i had a plan that i was gonna do a half
00:17:49.240
marathon and i was still heavy as shit like probably pushing like 280 290 at that point i was gonna do a
00:17:54.260
half marathon on day 76 and this is like a testament to how great this fucking program is into switching
00:18:01.180
your mind because bro i would skip workouts if my headphones were dead like that's how me too yeah
00:18:06.960
my headphones are dead bro what do you mean i can't work out and so on day 76 i plan to do a half
00:18:12.040
marathon that's that bitch voice bro bro for real yeah you don't it's we get in these zones man where we
00:18:16.860
don't even realize how powerful like we the boss voice that we all have is so fucking weak that like
00:18:24.120
we don't even hear it anymore exactly you know like my fucking headphones like think about how that
00:18:28.080
sounds that sounds stupid it sounds ridiculous and now like even like running in the rain like yeah
00:18:32.660
bro what the fuck it's just a couple drops on your head that's what's gonna stop you from going out and
00:18:37.060
do that workout yeah but back then it seems like such a real no because we're looking for any reason bro to
00:18:41.740
cop out because we're fucking lazy real shit man i get it dude like i was lazy like that too bro
00:18:47.760
like i fucking know exactly what like dude that's why when i saw your shit it made me fucking break
00:18:52.440
down because i'm like fuck because like bro it's different when you see someone who's kind of gone
00:18:57.740
on the same journey like the exact same journey that you were on like there's a lot of people who
00:19:01.760
have changed and done amazing things and i see that all the time but when i see someone that looked
00:19:06.740
like me that fucking did that work like bro it just it was fucking awesome dude because i knew
00:19:13.100
i already knew right away what the fuck it took you know and it fucking took every it takes everything
00:19:18.000
i went to war for two straight years yeah bro like every day but when people say like you know don't
00:19:22.540
lose weight you're gonna you're gonna lose your funniness yeah it was kind of true because bro i
00:19:26.520
have like ptsd i've been at war for two straight years like i'm not as funny as i used to be now yeah
00:19:31.380
like that's what it was but yeah that's 70 the day 76 when i was gonna run that half marathon
00:19:36.340
so i woke up on day 75 and i'm like i look at the weather app and day 75 today is raining it's
00:19:43.700
pouring it's one of the colder days of the year and day 76 tomorrow is sunny and shit i could have
00:19:48.680
just stuck to that plan but i'm like bro the whole point of this program was to chase hard to do the
00:19:54.760
harder thing and so i'm like fuck it we're doing it today's day 75 we're picking the harder day and i ran
00:19:59.840
that half marathon at like probably 280 290 pounds took me three hours my shit was all bloody but i still
00:20:06.260
finished and it was fucking it was like bro i was i was broken physically but i i was smiling ear to
00:20:11.940
ear that's how proud i was of myself yeah bro it's step by step systematically rebuild the confidence
00:20:17.800
or if you've never had it before builds it because dude every time you go out and do that run every
00:20:22.680
time you go out and defeat that voice that says no dude your headphones are fucking broke right or
00:20:28.640
dude i got blisters or my feet and and dude every single time bro you make a deposit into that boss
00:20:35.060
voice and it gets stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger to the point now we're like
00:20:39.220
bro like you can't be fucked with like no x like nope like i already know for you it's the same
00:20:46.920
like there's nothing anyone could say to me to get me off my fucking program no fucking nothing it
00:20:52.720
doesn't matter who it is like jesus could come down and be like stop your shit and i'd be like i'm
00:20:57.940
like sorry bro i gotta do you know what i'm saying like it's it's a different thing and when we give
00:21:03.760
ourselves the ability to rebuild that side of our brain that voice in our brain it really removes the
00:21:12.860
limits of anything that we choose to do and that's what i'm curious to hear about dude like how has this
00:21:18.400
affected you in terms of your confidence and maybe your relationships with other people and and dude your
00:21:24.640
relationships with like you know uh food and and things like that so with food specifically man
00:21:30.820
like i literally just don't look at food anymore as like a source of dopamine or try to spike my
00:21:36.460
dopamine through food now like it's literally how do i fuel my body i i eat to fuel my body for peak
00:21:42.580
performance because i'm every day right now i'm still running you know you guys do miles here so 6.2
00:21:48.220
miles a day and then working out for an hour so like i literally need to fuel my body for peak
00:21:52.480
performance not to just like spike my dopamine because bro that should never last and you feel
00:21:57.280
like shit right after so my relationship with food has completely changed like i don't look at it the
00:22:01.860
same it's not a source of happiness for me anymore which is like a wild thing to feel and so in terms
00:22:07.960
of confidence like i say this all the time too because what this program gave me was the confidence
00:22:12.840
i needed i'm not talking social confidence like going up to like a girl and saying hi i'm talking
00:22:16.960
confidence in your own word being committed to whatever the fuck you're saying you're gonna do like now
00:22:21.900
i know anything that i say i'm gonna do will 100 percent get done like there's no doubt in my
00:22:27.780
mind and that's what this program has given me it's like confidence in everything and it's funny bro
00:22:31.920
looking back to how i used to run my life and how you do one thing is how you do everything and i used
00:22:37.540
to run my business the same way i ran my life quick instant gratification type of shit yeah fake sales on
00:22:44.680
my site 24 7 fucking up to 90 off big countdown timers like all these sales gimmicks that get you
00:22:51.980
that quick sale that quick conversion hack but bro at the end of the day all you're building is a
00:22:57.100
fucking bargain bin at that point you're not building a brand you're not building any some anything with
00:23:02.140
any sort of substance some soul that actually adds value to people's life and that was the same way i was
00:23:07.660
like trying to get my instant gratification hit i need my sales up bro let me put the fake sale up as
00:23:12.300
quick as possible and so right now bro we scrapped all that shit we went back from the ground up and
00:23:17.320
kind of sucks because i wish i could sit here and be like yo as soon as i did 75 hard man my business
00:23:22.420
skyrocketed but if you think about it man like i have a seven-year business now that i've had to scrap
00:23:28.880
and build back from the ground up because we didn't have a good foundation to start off at but i know for
00:23:34.580
fucking sure in the next three to five years i will be in a much better place than i was now had i
00:23:39.920
continued on with that shit because now i actually add value to people's life i want to change
00:23:44.700
someone's life and so when that becomes your focus and i know you say this all the time when that
00:23:48.920
becomes your focus everything changes not even financially too for you yes it's like a win-win
00:23:54.700
for everyone yeah it's dude look i think you know the business aspect that you're talking about
00:24:01.900
is the number one misunderstood thing especially amongst young people in business they they chase
00:24:09.180
the carrot they chase the the quick fix they they want to run the sale the things that you're talking
00:24:14.300
about without ever thinking of longevity and you bro we're going to be doing this for a long time
00:24:18.520
your reputation is worth a lot like it's important to build something that actually helps people and
00:24:23.200
then let them spread the word for you and i think that's the biggest thing that a business can do is
00:24:27.560
just commit to providing the most amount of value that you can for the customer and if you think
00:24:31.920
about what capitalism actually is that's what it's supposed to be it's not supposed to be a trick
00:24:36.860
hey you know buy my shit and then we deliver something that's not that right it's supposed to be
00:24:43.560
hey people are trading money for something of value and dude when you give something of value over the
00:24:49.380
long haul the money always is there it's just always there so it's cool to hear that you're doing that
00:24:54.340
because a lot of people wouldn't yeah man it's the only way because otherwise like what am i i also
00:24:58.560
didn't feel fulfilled running that shit like straight up like what am i doing every day i'm
00:25:02.200
waking up clicking clicking a couple buttons thinking i'm some big shot businessman but all
00:25:07.100
i'm really doing bro is learning how to use ad platforms or learning how to now that's a valuable
00:25:11.940
skill yeah right it's a valuable skill to build a brand but now you're focused on brand building yeah
00:25:16.520
so it's a big deal it's a little difficult for us now because we're we're basically scrapped back and
00:25:21.340
going building a seven-year business back from day one so yeah we have taken a hit because it is it
00:25:25.540
works it's a fucking it's a hit you know like it works it's a drug as you put the sale up you do
00:25:31.200
get higher sales but over time you're not building you stop responding to it does and then you got to
00:25:36.000
go bigger sales bigger sale and like you're just shooting yourself and you end up having no margin
00:25:40.220
you can't run the business and then you're done it's a it's a never it's like swirling in the
00:25:45.500
fucking drain in the bathtub and eventually you go down the hole and that's how it works
00:25:49.600
it is man and bro we have like we have a good product and like you're just it's just a matter
00:25:54.300
of like you're just shooting yourself in the foot at that point like you're the marketing side of
00:25:58.620
things does not align with the actual work you're putting into the product side it just doesn't
00:26:03.600
align and so it's just this is the only option and it and i'm willing to risk it all for this bro like
00:26:09.020
if if this means this business fails and i i lose everything i have it won't it won't i hope not bro
00:26:14.800
i won't but it won't bro how's it gonna how are you gonna fucking quit no okay well then
00:26:20.280
fucking it ain't gonna fail there you go that's it dude i love it like yeah i mean that's that's
00:26:24.880
the point you know um what about the things that we talk about in 75 hard you know uh the grit
00:26:33.560
the fortitude the mental toughness the ability to persevere the all the qualities that we talk about
00:26:38.880
self-esteem self-worth you know when i when i was heavy and before i figured out that you could
00:26:45.240
actually because i used to like look at people who had these things and i was like confused and
00:26:50.640
actually i was bitter because i'm like why the fuck did they get all these things this how come
00:26:56.300
this guy can stick to a program how come this guy can can follow through but i can't because that was
00:27:01.820
the biggest problem for me bro i could not fucking follow through i couldn't adhere to anything
00:27:06.520
and i would tell myself every monday for fucking years i'm starting today starting on monday starting
00:27:14.480
on monday and then like tuesday would come and i'd be like fuck i'm starving i want pizza right and then
00:27:19.180
wednesday i would like eat the pizza and then by thursday i'm like well fuck it's thursday uh you know
00:27:25.100
i'll just start again on monday and since i'm starting again on monday i'll go fucking hard for
00:27:29.920
thursday friday saturday sunday on food and i gain an extra seven fucking pounds right and dude
00:27:36.480
you said something when you were just mentioning about your confidence in your word how has that
00:27:44.180
affected your life outside of just your business life i mean what's that what has that done for you
00:27:50.500
it's what it's done for me is like everything that i commit to now gets done so even the small
00:27:56.040
things too which actually fucking matter in the end of the day like i told my parents i'm coming home
00:27:59.960
for dinner and i'm not going to text them and be like yo i can't make it today like every little
00:28:04.320
thing in your life becomes your word is your bond going forward and so that that was so super
00:28:10.100
important to me because like honestly man we lie to ourselves all the time we tell ourselves we're
00:28:14.400
gonna do shit and we never fucking do it yeah and that's why we're our confidence goes to fucking zero
00:28:19.300
dude because we don't even believe our own shit you don't you're you know we're like oh i'm gonna do
00:28:24.060
this and you never do any of these things and you're like oh well i'm gonna lose weight and you
00:28:27.760
already know that when it comes out of your fucking mouth that it ain't happening and you know that
00:28:31.760
everybody else is rolling their eyes like oh yeah okay it's not gonna happen you know exactly
00:28:36.120
imagine you had a friend like that bro who every day told you 10 fucking lies you would you believe
00:28:40.620
in him you wouldn't believe in him you wouldn't even want to be friends with him and that's why
00:28:43.300
you end up hating yourself but eventually like eventually it catches up to you and for me like
00:28:47.800
all that shit just ended up manifesting itself in the form of that panic attack because i had
00:28:52.740
internal guilt i wasn't living up to my standard or up to what i knew i was capable of because i was on top
00:28:58.840
of my shit from 16 to 22 and so i peeked behind the curtain of success like i had a fucking great
00:29:04.440
life i every day i would work out i would read i would meditate i was on top of my shit and i know
00:29:09.660
how great i felt and so for five six years when i didn't do that it caught up to me it had to it had
00:29:15.580
to get released somehow yeah and that that's what really did it for me isn't it crazy how like for me
00:29:21.920
like the stuff that we do on a daily basis because i you know i live this way now and i think you do
00:29:28.000
as well seems pretty fucking easy like it's not that fucking hard like but but when i was when i
00:29:35.000
was not doing it it sounded impossible yeah it was like holy shit dude like i gotta work out twice a
00:29:41.520
day i've got to drink a gallon of water i've got to eat you know fucking boring food it's not even
00:29:48.160
boring like everything for me now like all of this shit it actually just feels normal and it feels
00:29:54.340
abnormal when i'm not doing and um it's interesting because you know as i when i decided to lose lose
00:30:04.380
the weight and now for me that was 2015 or 16 15 was what i kind of did the same thing you did i i i was
00:30:12.720
350 i kind of halfway died in my way to 330 and then on january 1st 2016 i'm like fuck this i'm
00:30:19.680
fucking doing this that first year i lost 110 pounds but i i still hadn't discovered 75 hard right so for
00:30:27.940
me i was like terrified i'm like fuck i'm i don't want to put the shit back on right so i kept working
00:30:33.860
i kept working i kept working and then you know eventually 75 hard was born out of that progress and
00:30:38.360
that's whenever everything went to a totally different level and it's interesting how many
00:30:42.400
people talk about it as like a diet or a challenge when in reality it's a very tactical tool it's a
00:30:49.380
program to use to bring your mindset back to where it needs to be which actually allows your body to be
00:30:55.920
fit it allows you to have confidence it allows you to have you know gratitude for where you are
00:31:00.960
because you're proud of who you are now um and it's interesting you know how many people
00:31:07.380
don't look enough into the program to understand what it's really all about because it really isn't
00:31:12.900
about the physical the physical is a the physical is a representation of winning the mental battles
00:31:18.580
on a daily basis and uh you know when you talk about chasing the hard man like that win you know
00:31:27.300
like after you got done with your first fucking run right like everybody thinks the big win is like
00:31:32.380
when you post your slideshow and it's you know 75 slides or 200 slides of you losing all this weight
00:31:38.900
right they think that's the win but the win isn't that actually the win is that first time where you're
00:31:47.520
like fuck dude my feet are bleeding i got blisters and you're like fuck it i'm going anyway and you get
00:31:53.480
done and you're like all right i did it that win is the fucking real win because those are the wins
00:31:59.380
that allow the other big wins to happen and it's interesting to me that people don't recognize
00:32:04.720
their little wins as the big wins because your little wins they are the big wins because without
00:32:10.700
those big wins don't happen people think you just like show up and all of a sudden you're fucking
00:32:14.820
ripped and all of a sudden you're wealthy all of a sudden you're mentally healthy all this bro that's
00:32:19.520
not it it's these little fucking battles that we fight within our mind every single day that either
00:32:25.020
allow us to progress or regress and there is only two options there's not a stay still option there's
00:32:30.700
no fucking neutral in the game of life it is forwards and it is backwards and um it's cool to hear you talk
00:32:37.860
about it bro because like hearing you talk about you know your mentality when you were big it's very
00:32:45.480
similar to what mine was man it was just very very similar i had beaten myself into fucking nothing
00:32:51.060
by promising myself over and over and over and over that i was going to fucking get back in shape
00:32:59.240
and i embarrassed myself to my friends and family because i fucking lied to them about it right like
00:33:04.620
i'm doing this i'm doing this i'm doing this tell them emily this shit you know i'm you know like
00:33:09.520
you you you end up becoming like this fucking like thing that you're actually like disgusted with
00:33:16.500
and that's where i think your panic attack came about for real man that's actually it yeah it's
00:33:22.260
actually it and i'm not i'm not gonna lie because you just said that like you don't understand why
00:33:26.120
people think it's the meant why people look at the physical as a challenge and stuff i'm not gonna
00:33:30.680
lie bro when i started that was my goal i was like fuck all this mental toughness shit i just want to
00:33:35.360
lose some weight yeah that's it yeah but bro when you realize how much mentally this does for you
00:33:40.320
going forward bro you don't give a fuck about the physical anymore the physical like i genuinely like
00:33:44.940
bro i could get better results if i wasn't running every day i want to get jacked yeah running every
00:33:49.880
single day is probably not the best option for that yeah but what running does for me is it pushes me
00:33:55.200
mentally so much and that's what i'm chasing and so like even yesterday coming on here we were nervous
00:34:00.620
to come on this podcast and so i ran a half marathon yesterday to get my mind right dude that's
00:34:05.820
in the morning and bro the the fucking roads here are crazy yeah they're up and down yeah yeah and it
00:34:11.440
was hot we're used to toronto cold ass weather but yeah we did it we got it done half marathon and so
00:34:16.520
that's how we get our mind right now is like i'm chasing something that reminds me of why the fuck i'm
00:34:21.640
doing this yeah yeah so so dude like as you've as you've become this new version of you
00:34:28.140
and shed this old version of you which i believe is permanent how what's happened with the rest of
00:34:36.440
your life in terms of like maybe your friends or your family or people that you're close to
00:34:40.900
yeah so honestly with the my friend circle has gotten smaller it's it's gotten smaller and like
00:34:46.360
back then it was centered around partying like we'd meet a bunch of people we throw big bangers in our
00:34:51.160
house with like 50 people and that just doesn't happen anymore like i generally just it's just i don't
00:34:56.120
have the time for that part of my life anymore yeah like bro when you're drinking every single
00:35:01.320
weekend you don't realize it's not just the day you just got drunk it's the next day and then it
00:35:05.800
takes two three days for you to recover from that hangover and then the mental all that mental shit
00:35:11.040
that you were trying to build up all week by working out twice a day or working out at all eating
00:35:15.200
healthy you just fuck it up on from friday to saturday and then sunday hits you're recovering your
00:35:21.220
you're hungover on sundays too okay there you go yeah man so and so that's what it does and so our
00:35:29.560
circle naturally just got smaller and it's just everyone around me now bro is literally a fucking
00:35:34.180
killer yeah a cold-hearted killer and like they they literally work 24 7 and i like i mike my best
00:35:41.200
friend bro i never see him i don't see him that often but we know that we're both hustling on the
00:35:46.340
side and he's still there for me and we're still there for each other but i see him like once every
00:35:50.260
couple months now because we're both grinding 24 7 now do you so what you're saying is what it
00:35:56.360
sounds like you're saying is your friend circle got smaller but the quality of friendships is much
00:36:01.720
better for sure man yeah for sure it's been the same for me it's been the same for me i don't party at
00:36:06.380
all anymore bro like i i don't even i mean maybe twice a year i'll have a couple beers just because i
00:36:11.200
like beer yeah but like it's not it's not the party life bro and it's it's you know when you when
00:36:16.560
you start figuring out how much collateral damage that lifestyle causes you and then you start
00:36:21.680
recognizing especially if you're an entrepreneur you start recognizing that you're only operating
00:36:27.700
effectively like 10 of the fucking week it becomes very obvious that you can't win that week you know
00:36:34.340
and it took me a long time for it for it to click over for me um but i did the simple math i just did
00:36:41.340
the math i'm like okay well if i fucking drink thursday friday saturday sunday okay that's four
00:36:48.400
out of seven days then monday i feel like shit tuesday i feel cloudy wednesday i feel okay so i get
00:36:57.080
some decent shit done on wednesday and thursday it starts over again so it's like when you really
00:37:01.560
understand that as an entrepreneur you're competing against other businesses and other people which is
00:37:08.240
reality everybody likes to say oh fucking it's me against me no the fuck it isn't you're actually
00:37:14.100
in a game and there's other people that are trying to beat you and that's reality of entrepreneurship
00:37:17.960
it's a fucking sport it's the hardest fucking sport and it's a it's the one of the purest competitions
00:37:25.360
that you could ever have and you're competing against people who are ultra competitive who are
00:37:29.660
taking shit serious who are you know building their mind building their body taking care of their health
00:37:36.060
avoiding things that take them off track and you realize dude for me it just clicked i'm like i can't
00:37:40.940
win i fucking can't win without it you know and i was fortunate that i was able to have some pretty
00:37:48.460
pretty substantial success um up until the point i figured it out right like i am i am pretty skilled
00:37:56.340
as an entrepreneur and when i finally figured it out i mean we were doing nine figures in business right
00:38:02.560
but i started realizing bro that's not sustainable these other dudes are fucking good they're
00:38:08.260
dedicated they're working harder than me they try harder than me and that's whenever it made me
00:38:12.860
realize like fuck i have i have to become a permanent better version of myself and it has to be forever
00:38:19.460
it can't be for a summer right or for a pool party or for a wedding and i think that was a big shift
00:38:25.160
for me man like when i realized like it couldn't be because i used to try to diet for events
00:38:29.220
like same yeah like yeah like oh we have this big pool party you know and i want to be i don't
00:38:34.980
want to be fat so i'll fucking kill myself for six months i'll show up i'm in great shape i party and
00:38:40.560
then right after i party the next day i'm back to my old life because fuck it dude i'm in shape now
00:38:45.060
right i'm living it up and then seven months go by and guess what right back where i was and until i
00:38:51.720
cured this shit mentally i couldn't keep it off and that's what the point of the program really is bro it's
00:38:57.620
for you to become aware and to tune your mind into a fucking weapon that cannot be fucked with
00:39:04.620
you know when you think about why people fail in life and why people struggle in life it's not
00:39:10.260
because it's not because they don't have good intentions it's not because they're so lazy they
00:39:15.480
don't want anything i mean sure dude there's a segment of the population right but i think for
00:39:19.920
most people it's their inability to adhere to the process that they said they were going to do
00:39:26.280
that was my problem at least my problem was never that i lacked ambition it wasn't that
00:39:31.000
i didn't want better for myself it wasn't that i didn't want to be uh you know successful or in
00:39:37.020
shape i wanted all those things but i just did not have the capacity to fucking stick through and
00:39:43.260
some of the things that had been normalized in culture i realized actually fucking hurt my ability
00:39:48.940
to do that like for example this shit with the fucking cheat day every week like everybody talks
00:39:54.520
well you're going to have cheat day well here's what's happening when you have the cheat day dude
00:39:58.820
um you're you're doing six days of perfect work working hard and then and for a reason why are you doing
00:40:06.420
it because i'm dissatisfied with where i'm currently at then on the seventh day you reward yourself
00:40:12.540
with the shit that made you fucking miserable in the first it makes no logical sense and when you
00:40:18.500
really start thinking about it it disrupts the habit building process too soon right so like when you
00:40:26.980
have six days of clean eating and you and you have a seventh day at least for people who have what i
00:40:33.420
believe i had was a food addiction right that's all i fucking thought about bro like when i when i like
00:40:38.220
when you probably woke up and started thinking about the app you're like fucking cheese fries
00:40:42.360
waffle fries right you were thinking about it all you couldn't wait for the shit to come yeah and
00:40:46.600
like that's how i was too and so for me and maybe some people have baseline discipline but i don't
00:40:52.980
think so because the diet industry is one of the biggest in the world and most of you motherfuckers are
00:40:56.260
fat okay let's be real um you guys say you don't need it you don't but you do need it because here's
00:41:02.140
what's happening every single six seventh day you're fucking feeding your fat face with the same
00:41:07.220
shit that made you miserable and you're breaking the mental fucking cycle that you're working on
00:41:11.580
every and so then it becomes this pursuit of the cheat day right like oh i can't wait till sunday
00:41:17.460
so i can fucking be a normal human that there's nothing normal about eating 15 000 calories and
00:41:23.300
getting fucking drunk off 20 fucking beers on a sunday bro there's nothing normal about that normal
00:41:28.740
is understanding that i need to be healthy i need to be fit i need to take care of myself and then
00:41:34.460
committing to that for for a long enough time to where your habits actually change i personally believe
00:41:40.080
like this shit that we hear about oh it takes 21 days to form a new habit i think that's bullshit
00:41:45.840
it's not long enough it's not long enough dude it's not it never has i've done 21 days too how many
00:41:50.840
times so many times me too bro and never stuck it's not long enough yeah that's the thing with this
00:41:55.340
program is that it gives you the momentum you need to put all this shit on autopilot yeah like bro as
00:42:00.400
fucked as this sounds 75 hard is the easy part of my life now because i've been doing it for so long
00:42:06.300
70 i get it for two straight years like yeah the two workouts are automatic the reading is automatic
00:42:11.480
the no drinking the no chemo is automatic like and so the more and more shit that i could put on
00:42:16.840
autopilot like that frees up my time to do other things and that's how you see highly successful
00:42:22.360
people like yourself that seem like they're doing the most crazy shit they're doing a crazy amount of
00:42:27.780
stuff and you're like bro how do they have the time to do this actually have more time you do you do
00:42:32.060
because you built the habits and you put all these all these difficult tasks that would take up a lot
00:42:36.680
of mental calories they don't take up those calories anymore it's just autopilot now dude i was thinking
00:42:41.540
about this as you were just saying that did you find so a lot of people say oh i don't have fucking
00:42:47.620
time for all this shit dude one of the things that i that i learned like almost immediately the first
00:42:54.780
time i did the program was how much time i was fucking wasting like because at first when you're
00:43:00.680
good at wasting time it does seem like a lot of stuff right but when you start to become effective
00:43:05.800
at crossing shit off the list every single day all of a sudden i'm like well fuck dude i i got all this
00:43:11.880
extra time i don't even know what to do with how did you notice that same thing yeah and bro like you're
00:43:16.720
you're running first form bro how can someone think that they have less time than you bro like i don't
00:43:22.580
know what they do yeah like come on bro like it's not just first form there's six other companies
00:43:27.740
exactly you know it's it's uh it's you know but like dude i get it like i see parents with kids
00:43:33.980
like that's a hard thing that's a 24-hour job i mean everybody's life is hard and and we have a lot
00:43:39.540
of shit to handle but the thing is is like when we when we give ourself this excuse of no time
00:43:50.260
i i think i think that's one of the biggest fuck-ups that people make with their life
00:43:57.740
they they say bro how am i going to do this with two kids or how am i going to do this with this or
00:44:01.500
how am i going to do this with that and i would challenge you to flip the question around is how
00:44:05.780
the fuck are you going to do your job living like the fuck you live eating that shit that you're eating
00:44:10.560
not putting good things in your brain not giving your body the the fuel that it needs not moving not
00:44:16.440
taking it like how are you going to be effective how are you going to be an effective can you really
00:44:21.020
say you're going to be the best parent if you're not at your best real talk and are you willing
00:44:25.800
to fuck your kids fucking life up by being a piece of shit because you're lazy i'm just saying
00:44:30.380
i wouldn't be you know what i mean yeah for sure we have to be the best versions of ourselves to get
00:44:34.980
the best results in life whether that's business whether that's our family whether that's um
00:44:40.680
fucking anything and and that's something that that has become glaringly obvious to me that most
00:44:47.640
people seem to not understand like this my mind my heart my body these are fucking tools
00:44:53.400
these are the weapons that we go to battle with every single day and if we do not have these things
00:44:57.920
in check guess what we're gonna fucking lose and that's reality and you may not you may think you're
00:45:04.240
winning you may think you're okay but i can promise you 10 20 30 years from now you're gonna look back
00:45:09.460
and be like fuck for sure i fucking wasted my fucking time and and that's something that i'm very thankful
00:45:15.340
is that i figured that out you know i didn't figure it out till i was like 38 bro you know i'm saying so
00:45:20.200
like i know for a lot of you young guys that sounds old but like i don't feel old anymore i felt old
00:45:26.380
then and now i'm 43 i feel way younger than i've ever felt my whole life well that's the thing with
00:45:32.220
time man is like you when you think you don't have the time this program or in general like just being
00:45:37.240
on top of your shit gives you more time because you're you're thinking clearly now like bro for
00:45:41.600
fucking five years i felt like i had a mental fog in my head 24 7 you're not confident in any of the
00:45:47.220
decisions you're making and so it's taking you longer to make decisions like let's just say let's
00:45:51.860
just say your current tasks are the same exact tasks that you have to do like your life is the exact same
00:45:57.280
if you were to just continue going on this path in life you would just like you you could continue
00:46:04.260
doing this bro you're talking i think you're talking about sustainability which is a big criticism
00:46:08.800
of the program because you hear you see these people out there it's not sustainable have you fucking
00:46:13.260
done it because most of the shit sticks forever right um and they also don't understand that
00:46:20.040
live hard is a fucking whole year thing um dude let's switch gears for a minute let's talk about
00:46:26.900
reading because i think reading is one of the most important aspects of the program were you reading
00:46:32.160
before when i was like 16 to 22 yeah but i didn't touch a book in like fucking seven years really yeah
00:46:39.260
how did that how did that affect you i honestly i now reading is like a part of my life and i feel
00:46:44.900
like i've grown a lot more like even just the way that i'm able to take in information is a lot better
00:46:49.680
and and like especially when i first started 75 hard like the first books i read were strategic like
00:46:54.840
it was designed to brainwash myself into thinking what i was doing wasn't shit and so like i read books
00:47:00.560
like goggins books tim grover's books yeah even like james lawrence watching his his life with a iron
00:47:06.260
cowboy i got lucky to do 75 hard the first round while he was doing conquer 100 and so that's cool
00:47:11.220
i got to wake up every day and see him doing his shit and it's crazy man because you look at people
00:47:16.080
like that who are crazy high achievers and you're like bro you start thinking of them as if there is
00:47:21.320
some divine being you know like they're not human they're not though yeah but the thing the thing is
00:47:26.440
they're just regular people bro they're just regular people going through their own shit i'll never
00:47:30.160
forget this day i look at one day and james lawrence posted a video of himself that day doing
00:47:34.320
conquer 100 and he's he's like holding back tears and he's like i'm gonna try today man and he was
00:47:39.960
just going through it bro and i had the same struggle and so all these people that you look up to that you
00:47:45.140
think are cut from a different cloth like this they're sort of some sort of divine being they're
00:47:49.320
just regular people who've been on top of their shit for so long and that's who i kept chasing bro is
00:47:54.280
like like brainwashing myself into looking at people doing incredible things to believe that what i was
00:48:01.200
doing is nothing compared to that and so when people hear like bro i ran a half marathon at this
00:48:06.160
way i ran a marathon last year i ran 28k on my birthday for 28 for my 28th birthday like all this
00:48:12.700
crazy shit and it's like how'd you do that bro you're still heavy it's because the standard was so
00:48:18.680
high the people i was looking up to were so high that it made me feel like what i was doing is nothing
00:48:23.460
and so that was what the reading did for me and that was i strategically planned those books at the
00:48:28.420
beginning when i needed to build the mental strength to be able to continue on now the books
00:48:33.200
i'm reading are more toward like knowledge i'm trying to gain in terms of business in terms of
00:48:38.360
marketing in terms of sales but yeah man those books have made a huge impact on my life bro i i start
00:48:45.000
75 hard almost every single time i do it with relentless from tim grubber almost every single
00:48:51.040
time man the book resonates with me so hard and it's not for everybody bro like a lot of people read
00:48:56.840
that book and they're like what the fuck is he talking about and it's because you you haven't
00:49:01.440
developed that the shit he's talking about yet but if you continue to press on you will start to
00:49:06.080
understand it every time i read that book i gain new shit out of it every single time i was just
00:49:10.720
gonna say man every book i've reread every time i reread it you get a different nugget out of it yeah
00:49:15.840
it's like a different that's a great book to like set the pace though yeah like if you're somebody out
00:49:20.340
there who is like you like you're like fuck i need this mental calibration i think starting with
00:49:25.660
that book is such a powerful way because it just makes you realize like okay there are people out
00:49:31.360
here that are doing like these people that i see as champions the kobe bryants the michael jordans
00:49:37.040
these motherfuckers didn't come out of the womb michael jordan they didn't come out kobe bryant kobe
00:49:42.360
bryant was shooting free throws every single fucking day of his career at 3 a.m right like we're talking
00:49:47.260
about a crazy obsession to be great and like when you mention like goggins or james lawrence
00:49:53.740
these dudes because i know them personally you know these are just normal people who have pressed
00:50:02.080
beyond their perceived comfort zone more and more and more and more to the point where now
00:50:11.140
they are literally limitless because for you to believe that you're limitless you have to continually
00:50:16.980
push yourself outside of the box of what you believe that you're capable of enough to know that you are
00:50:22.800
capable right so like when you first ran your first fucking workout like you probably thought
00:50:29.620
fuck i don't know if i can even do this right but you got home that first day and you're like
00:50:34.300
fuck i did that right so then you wake up the next day you're like okay well i did this yesterday
00:50:39.080
so i know i can do it it's funny because you mentioned the cold plunge my man just did his first
00:50:44.000
cold plunge today he did real good six minutes first time that's fucking amazing good good you
00:50:49.360
doing okay i'm fine i was shivering for a little bit right after yeah for a while it's different than
00:50:54.740
the cold showers then bro fuck yeah i do cold showers every day yeah it's totally different dude
00:50:59.720
and the uh but the thing is is like dude i've been doing the cold plunge today was day 76 for me in a
00:51:05.660
row and every fucking time bro like every time and this is part of the reason i love it every time i
00:51:13.440
stand in front of that cold plunge and i'm like fuck this is gonna fucking suck like and then i'm
00:51:18.800
like the next thought is dude you've done this 74 fucking days in a row 75 like you can do this get
00:51:25.120
the fuck in there and i'm in it you know and it sucks for you know 10 seconds right exactly yeah it's
00:51:31.240
good the same thing with the shower the shower knob man like just turning that to cold yeah
00:51:35.680
fuck i love that though yeah i love that cold shower yeah like the minute i feel that shit on
00:51:40.280
my because i always let it go straight on my head like on the top of my crown at first and the minute
00:51:45.440
i start feeling it get like real cold i fucking yeah i gotta go right on my face and bro it just
00:51:50.640
i've learned to like literally love that so i love the feeling after yeah like every time i i think
00:51:56.420
i'm gonna bitch out of doing it yeah i'm like bro when you step out of there you feel
00:52:00.200
fucking incredible yeah so that honestly that's that's literally what i've been doing with
00:52:04.120
everything for the last two years is just like trying to continuously chase hard like i said
00:52:08.980
and so bro like even last year right we i it was fucking negative 30 degrees the the coldest day of
00:52:15.600
the year yeah and i wake up and i look we had a massive thunderstorm i'm looking at the weather
00:52:19.560
and i usually run in the morning but and then work out in the evening but i look at the weather app
00:52:24.400
and i'm seeing that the peak of the storm is at 7 p.m bro i switched the order of my workouts
00:52:30.140
so i could purposely go out at 7 p.m and experience that peak fucking weather because
00:52:34.860
that is a win under my belt and the more and more i can collect of those it's literally medallions bro
00:52:40.780
because it makes regular life easy yeah like it's like what goggins talks about the cookie jar
00:52:45.780
exactly you know you're putting these things in your fucking jar so that when things get hard
00:52:50.200
you're like fuck the same shit dude i already did this yeah you know it's a fucking powerful thing
00:52:54.920
man it is i know exactly what you're talking about yeah bro i still do that like i still like
00:52:59.500
if i if i if i wake up and i see that we're gonna get like a storm at like three o'clock i'll wait to
00:53:07.160
do my ruck until fucking three you know because i want to do it yeah especially when you're doing
00:53:12.220
stuff at that level now you don't get those opportunities too often like i was praying for
00:53:17.680
fucking winter storms last year because you don't get those opportunities anymore to push yourself
00:53:22.520
that much more mentally and so that's like you just end up chasing that and the more and more
00:53:27.420
you chase that bro like life just becomes so much easier and what's crazy about those workouts too
00:53:32.060
dude is that the the amount of pride that you feel after those workouts is like 10 times more than the
00:53:40.360
normal workout exactly yeah it's cool bro because i do the same shit dude we had a day here over the
00:53:45.000
winter this past winter that was minus 27 which is abnormal here i know you guys got a little
00:53:50.000
different yeah it's not it's not like that here you know we might get a few days where it's under
00:53:55.960
zero and uh i remember thinking i'm like well fuck i'm gonna fucking do this shit and i went out and
00:54:02.720
did it bro i got done i was cold as fuck the rest of the day i'm like dude nobody did that nobody did
00:54:07.700
that none of you motherfuckers that think you're competing with me fucking did that none of you
00:54:12.200
you don't have cars driving by yeah oh they're trying to pick you up yeah like yo are you okay what's
00:54:16.840
going on exactly yeah yeah they're like what the fuck are you doing i'm like bro i'm actually out
00:54:20.520
here on purpose i dude that's happened to me a lot in thunderstorms and snowstorms shit like that
00:54:26.160
but bro days like that you're literally getting 10 15 days in one 10 15 days of growth in one day
00:54:31.800
it's literally like a hack to get there faster yeah so what would you say to someone who's who's you
00:54:37.080
know maybe heard of the program but not done it or thinks they can't do it like someone because i
00:54:42.840
gets people like that they're like bro i'm i'm not ready for that you know i'm gonna do this and
00:54:47.040
this and this it's like bro it's scalable you know i'm saying like you can walk if all you can do is
00:54:52.660
walk you can walk but the point is to press on to the harder things as they get harder or as you get
00:54:59.560
more capable for sure man from what i always say bro is like if you're continuously waiting for that
00:55:05.120
perfect moment until you get to a certain level or until you can you know think of the new get that
00:55:10.740
more one more piece of information to complete the puzzle to be able to do it bro you are never
00:55:15.220
starting like how many fucking times are you going to go out there buy the workout clothes buy the
00:55:19.620
supplements buy the fruits and veggies that just rot in your fridge at some point you just got to jump
00:55:25.340
in and eventually everything will fall into place i lost 120 pounds in my first year without knowing
00:55:31.120
how to calculate my calories without knowing how to do my macros and all i did was just jump in and
00:55:36.660
figured it out along the way everything you need to know is out there in the track in the field where
00:55:41.880
with the hard shit and so if you're waiting for that perfect moment it's never coming and the thing
00:55:47.660
is like bro people think like you have to do what i did you have to do a run every single day you have
00:55:52.260
to do a crazy workout every day no but i was capable of doing that and so that's why i chose to do that
00:55:57.880
but if you're fucking 500 pounds or 700 pounds or whatever bro a workout is literally you sitting down
00:56:03.600
and standing up for a whole fucking 45 minutes that's right point and so it is scalable and it
00:56:08.420
is doable and i'm telling you it is so worth it because the level of you operate at another level
00:56:14.020
mentally forever bro if you continue on this path i i think it's i think i think it's important to note
00:56:21.940
you know it's not a cure-all forever it it but the awareness that you gain lasts forever meaning
00:56:29.360
discipline is a perishable skill we don't practice it it we lose our edge but what i really love about
00:56:38.880
the program and what i think it does for people that people don't articulate properly is that it
00:56:45.220
brings a level of awareness to you know like for example like when when i got fat like when i went
00:56:56.060
like from when i gained 100 pounds in a year the same shit you did i was not aware that i was that far
00:57:05.760
off track you know what i'm saying like i would i would put on a little weight and yeah my my jeans
00:57:10.460
were a little tight and then i would buy the next pair up right and i'm like oh this is not bad and
00:57:15.380
like it was imperceptible how far off track i had gotten and what i think this program and i think the
00:57:22.100
magic of this program is the awareness that it creates that never goes away so like the minute
00:57:27.800
that you start to fade off you're like fuck i'm fucking off track and you correct almost immediately
00:57:34.880
so it never allows you to get like more than two or three days out of cycle at least that's how it's
00:57:40.740
been for me you know i might have two or three days when i'm not like you know it might be in between
00:57:47.220
phases or whatever where you know i don't complete all the tasks right most of the time i do all of
00:57:53.340
them automatically but like my old self wouldn't recognize that as like a as like a problem you know
00:58:01.660
what i'm saying exactly my new self i'm like fuck okay the last three days i missed four tasks total
00:58:08.420
fuck all right i need to get my shit together and it allows me to reel myself back in instead of drift
00:58:16.100
so far off course that it becomes this massive mountain that we have to keep climbing our whole
00:58:20.040
lives for sure and that was something i admired in other people that i never had like i never had
00:58:24.620
the ability to kind of like keep it together you know what i mean like i could get it together but i
00:58:30.540
couldn't keep it together and that's you know that i think that's the magic of it i think at least for
00:58:36.680
me it is it's been it's it's not that i've stayed a hundred percent discipline because if i did i
00:58:42.220
wouldn't have to continue to do it as a lifestyle but now whenever i do pull off just a little bit i
00:58:49.580
can feel it i notice it i'm in tune with it and i and more importantly guess what i know exactly what
00:58:55.020
i need to get back yeah yeah man that was like the number one question a lot of people ask me
00:58:59.820
he's like yo do you still cheat do you still have alcohol do you drink and shit and bro yes i'm not
00:59:04.440
gonna sit here and act like i'm some fucking 75 hard poster boy who doesn't have like a grain of rice
00:59:09.540
like no i still have those days same bro yeah yeah but the thing is bro the difference is is like
00:59:14.960
now i am in control of my life that's right like i'm in the driver's seat of my life yeah i'm not
00:59:20.720
you know falling into quick uh instant gratification type of shit you know like i am fully on board with
00:59:27.640
what i'm doing in my life my goals are aligned with my actions or my actions are aligned with
00:59:32.100
the goals i've set for my life yeah and so that's what this program does and like the momentum you're
00:59:36.860
right man you it's so easily lost but this program gives you the quick bounce back if you just hop back
00:59:44.320
on so i went on a trip to columbia for a week and bro i i had my fun there like i'd show you the life
00:59:50.080
yeah i lived the life and it was my first long vacation off program for two years yeah i came
00:59:55.720
back and i already felt myself being like yo it's your first day back you can chill today or go for
01:00:01.020
a walk you don't have to run can you don't have to do this anymore it's your first day just settle
01:00:05.360
back in and as soon as i started hearing that i was like no fuck that phase one we're going right
01:00:10.160
into phase one i wasn't planning on doing phase one till later in the year but that's what this does
01:00:14.520
for you is gives you like you said the awareness to like yo you're gonna you're about to go down a
01:00:19.100
dark path if you start hearing that voice that made you the way that fucking made you hate yourself
01:00:24.280
again very clearly you're like oh shit that's how i got there at least for me that's how it is for
01:00:30.760
sure man yeah dude i uh i totally fucking i i you know i think another thing too dude like you were
01:00:37.640
saying about putting you back in the driver's seat you know back when i was when i was drinking and
01:00:42.060
living that life and being a fat fuck which is what i was um i couldn't go to a restaurant i had i
01:00:48.920
i was incapable of going to a restaurant like i i knew what i needed to order right like before
01:00:54.980
they handed me the menu i'm i'm like i don't even need to look at this i know what i need but here's
01:00:58.760
what would happen i'd sit down and look at the menu i'd see the shit that i really like wanted
01:01:04.760
and then the the fucking voice started right it started convincing me why i should order this shit
01:01:12.360
the pizza the wings the fries all the bullshit and the alcohol over what i knew i needed right
01:01:19.060
and so the waitress would come over or the waiter would come over and i already knew what i was
01:01:25.400
supposed to order but i was fucking incapable of saying it i had no i dude i couldn't do it and
01:01:31.280
every time they would come over i would order the fucking pizza and the fries and the bullshit
01:01:36.360
and then i would be like i'm sorry i'm starting back tomorrow it's no big deal sure and i would
01:01:40.840
tell myself this fucking lie over and over and over and over and people act like the same thing bro
01:01:49.240
they're like bro you always on no i'm not always on the fucking program bro i love fucking beer dude
01:01:53.720
i love fucking i love to fucking drink and shit i just understand what i'm trying to do with my life
01:01:59.660
and so i remove it as much as possible but here's the thing if you set this beer down in front of me
01:02:07.580
this water bottle that we're going to pretend is a beer i didn't have the ability to not fucking
01:02:12.760
drink i did not have even that amount of discipline in my life i have no fucking power over food and
01:02:18.540
alcohol at all and dude that made me feel like a fucking weak piece of shit like i was like how the
01:02:24.280
fuck can all these people do this but i can't do this and then i would drink five or six beers and i
01:02:28.920
forget about it until tomorrow right and uh which led to 20 beers right and all kinds of other stupid
01:02:34.860
ass shit but the point is now when that beer is set in front of me i'm making the fucking decision
01:02:43.380
don't give a fuck that beer doesn't have power over me this fucking menu doesn't have power over me dude
01:02:48.160
but if i want to if i want that shit i'm gonna take it i'm gonna take it but it's it's it's the it's
01:02:53.900
resetting the position of power to yourself versus outside influences and to me that's what have been
01:03:00.620
one of the most powerful changes that i've had over the last four or five years is that like dude
01:03:05.020
when i like it's almost to the point where i've forgotten about it like i've almost forgotten
01:03:09.100
how fucking weak i was and so like that also sometimes makes me a little bit harsher on people
01:03:14.600
that are maybe just starting you know what i'm saying i was gonna say the exact same thing yeah i feel
01:03:19.140
like i don't resonate with that shit anymore i'm so far disconnected from that yeah then i'm like
01:03:23.800
almost unsympathetic to what they're going through but bro you got to consider like we aren't there now
01:03:30.480
but we were there no we're still there bro we're still that fat motherfucker that you were and i was
01:03:36.580
that's still inside of me bro yeah i'm terrified of it bro for real yeah pizza pizza is my fucking
01:03:42.680
biggest weakness i know dude i know i kind of want to go get one but the reality is it ain't
01:03:49.200
going to happen no it's not happening so um bro you know we could talk and talk and talk about this
01:03:57.080
