What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realists, say goodbye
00:00:20.560
to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:24.780
reality guys. Today we have Q and AF just like we do every Monday for you. This is where
00:00:30.400
you get to submit the questions and I give you the answers. Now you can submit your questions
00:00:34.060
which can be about anything. Now typically they're about personal development, how to
00:00:37.580
win, how to kick ass, how to be a bad motherfucker. But if you want to ask about what's going
00:00:42.260
on in the world, we'll answer some of those as well. You can submit these questions a
00:00:45.600
couple of different ways. The first way is guys, you can email those questions in to ask
00:00:49.620
Andy at Andy for solid.com or you can go on YouTube and you can click subscribe and you
00:00:59.780
could drop your question right there in the comments and guess what? We'll answer some
00:01:04.180
of those too. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So if this is your first time listening, we like to
00:01:10.700
make it weird. Um, that was an example of it. We have other shows within the show. Okay.
00:01:15.940
We have Q and AF, which is what you hear today. And then throughout the week, we will have
00:01:19.540
multiple CTIs, which are called cruise the internet. That's where we talk about current
00:01:23.140
events. We put headlines on the screen. We talk about what's going on in the world. And
00:01:27.560
then we talk about what we think is bullshit, what we think is true and how we as the individuals
00:01:31.420
can come together to solve some of these problems going on in the world. Now, why is
00:01:35.020
that important? Why is our podcast in the business section? Why are we a entrepreneurship
00:01:40.460
personal development podcast that talks about what's going on in the world? Well, the reason
00:01:44.680
is the same reason why if you plant corn in a field that has no nutrients or the ability
00:01:53.080
to grow from, you cannot grow corn. And this is how you should think about your life and
00:01:57.640
your business. If you plant your business or your life in the soil of America, which is
00:02:02.740
supposed to be free and there's no freedoms allowed, you're going to have a much more difficult
00:02:07.140
time, if not impossible time growing the life that you want. So we as entrepreneurs have
00:02:12.220
a duty to understand both pieces of the environment, what's going on in the world and how to win
00:02:17.160
in real life. And we're actually bringing back a big part of the personal development program
00:02:21.400
with the relaunch of the MFCEO project. Now, you guys who have been following me for years
00:02:26.500
and years, you know what the MFCEO project was. It was a number one personal development
00:02:30.500
entrepreneurship podcast in the world that we converted into Real AF in 2019 to talk about
00:02:36.280
what's going on in the world. We're bringing that back and we're still going to do Real
00:02:40.520
AF. So that should be within the next 30 to 45 days that's going to launch. So keep an
00:02:46.780
eye out. You guys know I'm not on social media very much anymore. Pay attention to what I
00:02:51.660
do post because I'm going to be showing you how to get access to that. Now, other shows
00:02:56.500
that we may have on this, we have Real Talk. Real Talk is five to 20 minutes of me giving
00:03:01.080
you some Real Talk. That could be what's going on in the world or it could be how to win,
00:03:04.760
how to be better, how to become a bad motherfucker. Other times we have 75 Hard Versus. That's
00:03:10.480
where people who have completed 75 Hard, which is the first part of the Live Hard program,
00:03:15.280
come on the show. They talk about their story. They talk about why they needed to change.
00:03:19.560
They talk about how they did change. And then we talk about how it can help you get control
00:03:23.780
of your life as well. 75 Hard is a part of the overall Live Hard program, which is available
00:03:31.260
for free and it's designed to unfuck yourself. You can get it at episode 208 on the audio feed.
00:03:37.020
You cannot get that on YouTube. So that's a rundown on the show. We have this thing that
00:03:42.960
we call the fee. The fee is very simple. Please share the show. I get censored everywhere I go.
00:03:48.600
If I can't get you guys to share the show, if I'm not giving you enough value, which I know I am
00:03:53.200
because I'm giving you 25 years worth of business experience for fucking free, if I can't get you
00:04:00.440
guys to share the show, the message doesn't get out because they won't let me get it out. So
00:04:03.860
don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. I loved your metaphor there, by the way, but
00:04:09.040
which one about the corn? Yeah, I fucking love corn. Corn is good, dude, bro. Listen,
00:04:14.960
I think people, it can be versatile too. Corn's fucking great. It's almost like a potato,
00:04:21.280
but not quite a potato. Yeah, like I'm a bro. It could be fucking popcorn. You could do more
00:04:24.480
with potato than you can with corn. Oh, I mean, that's a fact. Yeah, but like, but corn's good.
00:04:29.480
If I had to pick one food forever for the rest of my life, it would be a potato. Yeah. Okay.
00:04:34.660
Cause you could do so much shit with it. So much, man. You got mashed potatoes, potato pancakes,
00:04:39.240
french fries, fucking dude, you could do all kinds of things, bro. Like you could shoot them from
00:04:44.840
a gun. Like there's all kinds of things you can do with a potato. You just can't do with other
00:04:48.860
stuff. But corn has to be right up there in the second place. Yeah, for sure. You can make
00:04:54.300
tortillas out of corn, grill corn. Yeah. Pop it. Yeah. Eat it right out of the can, drink the juice.
00:05:00.680
That's now that's nasty. What? That's nasty. That's why I thought we were doing. I thought we were
00:05:04.800
no, bro. I thought we were doing this. You drink that. You eat that. You eat that. You eat corn out the
00:05:09.920
can, bro. Like just straight out. I'm not saying I know he's fucking lying.
00:05:14.220
He's fucking lying. I'm not saying I do that. I'm saying it's possible to do. It's possible.
00:05:19.820
Gotcha. Gotcha. Understood. I thought we were, I thought we were having an open conversation.
00:05:27.360
I thought this was safe. Yeah, man. All right. I learned my limits. I won't talk about anything
00:05:33.520
anymore. Fuck you guys. Yeah. No, man. Hey, you're looking good, man. You got, you got some tan
00:05:39.520
coming in now. Yeah. It's looking good. Yeah. My tan's been all fucked up this year. It's been
00:05:43.980
rough. Yeah. I can't get my normal shirt off cardio. Yeah. Cause I got the ruck. Yeah. People
00:05:49.880
don't know about that. Huh? People don't know about a shirtless cardio. Oh yeah. That's how you get
00:05:53.940
the tan. Yeah. So like, I don't get to get that in anymore cause I got the ruck. And so I have to
00:05:58.660
decide, do I want the t-shirt tan or do I want the ruck tan? Yeah. And I take the t-shirt tan
00:06:04.320
cause I don't want like straps on me. Right. Yeah. Um, so like above those sleeves,
00:06:09.200
it's, yeah, it's, it's, it's a lot. Well, the tattoos help blend it in, but it's, it's
00:06:15.460
very Caucasian. I love it, man. Sweet. Well, let's get into this, man. Guys, Andy, I got
00:06:23.920
some good ones for you. All right. Let's go. Let's knock these out. Andy, question number
00:06:26.940
one, Andy, it's no secret that America has the largest population of prisoners in this
00:06:34.040
country with over 2 million people incarcerated. I understand that most people deserve to be locked
00:06:38.960
up. And I also understand that there are people in prison for petty crimes. A lot of tax dollars
00:06:44.160
go to the prison system on top of the multi-billion dollar private prison system. I'm just wondering
00:06:50.100
if you think there is a problem with our current system and if so, how would you go about addressing
00:06:56.060
it? I do think there's a problem with our current system. Um, I think it's too soft on the people
00:07:06.520
that it should be hard on. And I think it's too hard on the people that it should have leniency
00:07:10.780
towards. Um, nobody should be in jail for a significant amount of time or any time at all for
00:07:18.040
selling marijuana. Okay. When they passed the 1994 crime bill and we're putting people away for three,
00:07:24.840
three marijuana felonies for fucking life, that's bullshit. When then people who commit violent
00:07:32.020
crimes are getting charged with, you know, first degree assault or attempted murder or all these
00:07:37.240
things or murder and they're doing three to five years and getting out on parole. That's fucking insane.
00:07:42.340
So I personally think that our system is backwards. Um, if I were to design a system from the ground
00:07:49.340
up, I think that it would look something like this. Violent offenders would be dealt with.
00:07:56.560
They would be dealt with harshly. Violently. Yeah. They would be dealt with violently. If you hurt
00:08:01.500
someone or you murder someone or you rape someone and it's proven fact that there's undeniable proof
00:08:06.700
you did these things, which is very hard to escape nowadays because of all the technology.
00:08:12.340
Um, you should be dealt with in a, in a very harsh way and made an example out of so that people know
00:08:17.780
not to do those things, you know, uh, in Singapore, the cane people for littering. Do you know what
00:08:23.640
Singapore doesn't struggle with litter litter? Okay. Uh, in the middle East, in some countries,
00:08:29.660
they have open markets where gold and, and, you know, valuables are left out while they go pray
00:08:35.960
and they don't lock them up. They don't put them in the safe. They don't close the storefront.
00:08:40.480
And everything stays out. Why? Because if you steal it, they'll cut your hand off. Okay. So what
00:08:46.260
happens? Nobody steals. And we in America have developed this softness for actual criminals
00:08:53.140
because things have been so good for so long and people are so detached from actual criminal mindset
00:09:01.060
that they assume that these criminals are just good people that are making bad decisions or they
00:09:08.980
were disadvantaged or they were, they were, you know, there's something that we make up a story
00:09:13.780
because fucking hamster died. Yes, bro. They were, they were traumatized. Right. Right. By their
00:09:19.140
upbringing or whatever. And this comes from people who are detached from reality. These, this comes from
00:09:24.360
people who have never dealt with a violent criminal. I've dealt with violence. I've, I've had, I've been in a
00:09:29.220
situation where that's happened. Okay. I wear the fucking reminder of it on my face every single
00:09:33.860
day of my life. All right. There are certain people that are going to do fucking violent things
00:09:40.460
and they're going to repeat those things over and over and over. And those people don't have a place
00:09:44.960
in our society. And so for those kinds of crimes, those people should be made examples of so that
00:09:50.920
everybody understands what happens if you do those things. And that will create a situation where we have
00:09:56.160
accountability for violence. Now I'm not talking about fistfights. I'm talking about killing people.
00:10:00.560
I'm talking about raping people. I'm talking about the carjacking, all this shit. Fistfights
00:10:07.160
should actually be a misdemeanor at most, if even prosecutable, because the reality is just like Eric
00:10:13.460
was saying on the show Friday, there has to be a blow off valve. And wouldn't you rather people beat
00:10:18.680
the shit out of each other once in a while, they go on these shooting sprees and all this stuff.
00:10:23.700
Like, bro, we've lost that in America because getting in a man-to-man fistfight to settle a
00:10:28.820
dispute has been criminalized to the point where people won't do it anymore. So that anger, that
00:10:34.480
frustration and everything builds up and there's no outlet. All right. So there's a lot of changes
00:10:40.180
that need to be made. You know, when it comes to regular crime, like, you know, white collar crime
00:10:46.760
or, uh, you know, um, you know, misdemeanors or shit, you know, that's dealt with at a different
00:10:54.680
standard, but like, you know, it's to me, eye for an eye makes sense. Well, see, I think to that
00:11:00.220
though, most people can't, they don't even understand up until the last, you know, we're
00:11:05.200
kind of like, you know, in this modern society, postmodern society now, but dude, up to, you know,
00:11:10.200
a hundred years ago, that's how it was forever. Like that was the rule of law. Right. Um, to the
00:11:16.500
point where victim retribution, like that was a massive thing. Yeah. You know, and I, we went
00:11:21.760
away when we started, you know, you know, leading with our bleeding hearts and it's fucked us.
00:11:25.480
That's because the people that are with the bleeding hearts have never actually experienced
00:11:29.980
anything hard. They've never had, they've never had it. Yeah. Right. Um, you, where'd you grow up?
00:11:36.540
Did you grow up in a nice neighborhood where there was no crime or did you grow up in a place
00:11:39.160
where there was plenty of crime? There was not, there was more than enough. Okay. Now did the
00:11:44.220
people who committed the crime, were they people who did these things over and over and over and
00:11:47.700
over and over again? Same ones. You knew them. Okay. Well then if you want to solve the crime
00:11:52.280
problem, you got to remove those people from fucking society. That's reality. And that's not
00:11:56.220
happening. And it's not being allowed to happen because of the Soros appointed district attorneys
00:12:01.420
and prosecutors who are allowing these criminals. And by the way, this is all intentional. This plays
00:12:06.140
into the bigger perspective of what's going on, which is the suppression of the development of
00:12:13.040
the black communities in the United States, which, which is the intent of the crime. Okay. When you
00:12:17.660
have a black criminal who's in one of these cities who kills people and then they don't press charges
00:12:23.120
or carjacks people and they don't press charges or, you know, does all kinds of shit and they don't
00:12:28.360
press charge and they continue to let these people out in the streets. That's actually what the
00:12:33.680
systemic racism that everybody talks about actually is because what they're doing is they're
00:12:39.060
intentionally releasing the criminal element back into these communities in order to keep
00:12:43.320
the chaos going top to bottom. That's the point. So this isn't about anything other than that.
00:12:48.500
They never want the black communities to actually get out of the chaos that they're in. So they
00:12:53.860
continue to let these, these criminals run the fucking neighborhoods, which creates chaos.
00:12:58.260
And then they come in every two and four years and say, Hey, vote for us. We're not racist. We'll fix
00:13:03.480
it. We're going to give you leniency towards criminals. And then, you know, you get what you
00:13:08.260
get back in the same boat. Yeah. And so like, dude, you know, there needs to be major reform. You know,
00:13:14.140
um, if you're a white collar criminal and you know, you, you defraud people like Sam Bankman
00:13:20.940
Freed, who's stolen billions of dollars from people, allegedly, uh, that that's death, dude.
00:13:27.740
Yeah. Like you kill those people because dude, now, now people are afraid to do things like that.
00:13:32.460
You know, that's my opinion. You know, like this is why I'm probably not the best guy to run the
00:13:38.200
country for real. Cause I would be throwing people in the fucking wood chipper dude, left and right.
00:13:43.240
Yeah. It's needed, man. It is needed. It's needed. It's needed. It's needed to clean it up. And then
00:13:49.260
it's needed to, there needs to be some discipline that says, okay, well, we're done with that phase
00:13:53.960
of it. Now we're going to move forward with these rules. You know, that's what really needs to happen
00:13:58.480
to get our country back on track. There needs to be a phase of extreme accountability where all these
00:14:02.680
people who have fucked our whole country up are held accountable. All right. And that should be in
00:14:07.320
a violent way, meaning like not meaning revolution way, but meaning like when they're held accountable,
00:14:12.100
they should be executed. You remove those people from society, all those people that have done all
00:14:17.200
the shit that we're dealing with right now, whoever they are. And then we restructure the exact plan
00:14:21.600
that America was supposed to be. And we move forward without those fuckers. And America will
00:14:25.640
be the most beautiful, amazing, great place ever because we have very few people disrupting the game
00:14:34.860
for everybody else. And it's not a race of people. It's not a culture of people. It's some elite,
00:14:41.280
rich motherfuckers that all work together to keep us fucked up so that they can continue to take
00:14:46.980
from us. And that's it. And until the collective figures that out and stops thinking it's a certain
00:14:53.300
race or a certain group or a certain this and starts identifying it as just a group of people
00:14:57.760
who are bad as fuck, we're not going to be able to accomplish it because of the social constructs
00:15:03.700
of them to defend themselves. You know what I'm saying? Like everybody's victimizing themselves
00:15:07.460
as part of a group, right? Like if you point at Barack Obama and say Barack Obama's a criminal,
00:15:13.920
Right, exactly. And like this group think and this identity shit that collectively
00:15:18.820
they train us to think like actually is their defense system as to how they avoid accountability
00:15:24.760
for doing evil shit. And then people play into it because they're like, oh yeah, black people,
00:15:29.680
look at all the black people, look what they're doing. Bro, that's not all black people.
00:15:34.020
That's a criminal element of the black population. Most black people are embarrassed of those videos.
00:15:38.860
You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Like we cannot continue to generalize
00:15:42.660
these discussions. Otherwise there can be no solution. You'll never be able to have them.
00:15:47.260
Yeah, that's real shit, man. Guys, Andy, question number two. Andy, this question is in direct
00:15:53.440
relation to your Andy Graham titled, learn to quiet your mind, where you talked about calming your mind
00:15:59.600
in times of unexpected hiccups and focusing on the fact and devising a strategy and executing.
00:16:06.740
Do you have any tips or methods that I could use to implement this? I have a difficult time
00:16:11.980
quieting my mind and my thoughts can be all over the place about unimportant things.
00:16:16.520
How do you deal with this? Look, man, this is where everybody gets messed up.
00:16:22.500
All right. When things are chaotic and things are hard and you're having trouble getting your bills
00:16:26.920
paid, you're having trouble getting business in the door, you're having trouble getting the wheels
00:16:30.560
turning the way that you want. It's natural to become consumed with that negativity. All right.
00:16:36.140
If you're an entrepreneur, maybe you're not progressing as fast as you want. Maybe you're
00:16:40.100
not moving up the chain as fast as you want. Maybe you're trying as hard as you can and things
00:16:45.300
aren't happening at the like there's frustration, right? The likelihood is you're not doing everything
00:16:51.060
you can and you need to be more honest with yourself. But that's another topic. The reality
00:16:55.700
is, is that in times of frustration, it's easy to get sucked into the thoughts of frustration.
00:17:00.300
And when you're sucked into the thoughts of frustration, you can't focus a proper plan
00:17:04.680
to get yourself out of the frustration. So you have to learn to disconnect from the chaos
00:17:10.180
and like, you know, say, OK, I understand all this is happening, but I'm going to look over
00:17:15.720
here right now because this is where the fuck I'm going. I'm going this way. I'm not going
00:17:19.360
towards the cast. I'm going away from the chaos. And this is my plan. I have to wake up on a daily
00:17:24.820
basis. I have to do this. I have to do this. I have to do this. I have to do this. And then
00:17:28.460
you make the plan and you execute the plan. And then the next day you make the plan and you
00:17:33.120
execute the plan. And then the next day you make the plan, you execute the plan and you
00:17:37.100
start to create momentum out of this place. And soon, very soon, I'm not talking a year,
00:17:43.120
I'm talking within weeks of positive momentum in the right way. The chaos starts to feel less
00:17:49.540
and less and less and less and less and less. And you start to feel better and better and
00:17:52.620
better because you know that you're moving the right way when you wake up uh monday morning and
00:17:57.720
you know that you didn't day drink all day on sunday and fuck your whole day away and in fact
00:18:02.000
you actually poured it into your future life um you wake up with a little bit different energy
00:18:06.620
than if you're just trying to drag your ass out of the the regular people you know routine which
00:18:11.480
is you know we know what it is it's part of your life away relax take time off balance yeah bro and
00:18:18.880
then you know it's wrong so you feel guilty about it and now you're starting your week off from a
00:18:23.180
place of not being satisfied so think how good you would feel if three weeks from now you woke up
00:18:28.680
and you knew that for the last three weeks you did every fucking thing that you were supposed to do
00:18:33.140
you ate the food you were supposed to eat you read the books you were supposed to read you made the
00:18:36.680
calls you were supposed to make you did the emails you're supposed to do you did everything you were
00:18:40.780
supposed to you did all your workouts in three weeks you would look back and be like fuck all
00:18:44.840
right i'm doing it that chaos doesn't feel as stressful it doesn't feel as angry and that
00:18:48.760
will become then easier to even focus more on the future and this is the distance that you must
00:18:54.980
create through manufactured momentum this is why i give you guys these tools the tools of the power
00:19:00.300
list which is on episode 16 uh which is called win the day it's on the audio feeds it gives you my
00:19:05.720
exact productivity framework that i have used to build my life there's a journal that you can buy on
00:19:11.100
the website that we just got it back in stock which sells out all the time and it sells out because
00:19:15.040
it's awesome uh you don't need it but it's there if you want it but go to episode 16 it'll give
00:19:21.140
you my power list system that i've used to create productivity exactly what i'm explaining you need
00:19:26.880
to do okay uh also there's this the live hard program which helps with this a lot those of you
00:19:32.700
that that do the live hard program i'm what i'm saying you're shaking your head yes i already know
00:19:38.260
because i fucking built it all right so it's episode 208 on the audio feed you know i give
00:19:44.720
away these productivity tools for free because i want you to fucking use them and i want you to win
00:19:49.740
so these are the exact tools i use and it's what works for me and i understand there's other methods
00:19:54.860
but you know this is what i do so was there ever a time in your life anywhere you you you kind of
00:20:02.340
went with the belief that life was supposed to be easy and then you had this like wake up and you
00:20:07.800
accepted the fact that you know times of chaos like that is life it's funny that you bring this up
00:20:13.740
i was literally before you came in today having this conversation with a couple of guys in the
00:20:18.380
locker room joe being one of them uh me joe and micah were in the locker room i think tom might have
00:20:24.540
been in there too we were talking about uh how most of the journey that you're going to go on if
00:20:31.040
you're ambitious is going to be hard it's going to be the hard part like the wrong thinking is to
00:20:37.520
assume that it's that you're going to spend like like a lot of people think like oh i'm just going
00:20:41.480
through the hard time and they think the hard time is like 10 of the time right but when you're
00:20:46.160
building a career or you're building a business or you're when i say building a career bro i don't
00:20:51.000
mean having a job there's two different kinds of people right there's people who want a job to pay
00:20:55.660
their bills so they can go out and fucking fuck off all right quote unquote live their life
00:21:01.180
there's other people which by there's i'm not judging i'm just saying that's there's people
00:21:05.920
like that then there's other people who want to build a career that means they're fucking investing
00:21:11.100
time now because they understand it's going to provide the level of income later that allows
00:21:16.240
them to live the kind of life that they want to live all right and so when we're talking about
00:21:21.200
you know driven hungry people i'm always talking about the latter of those two all right understand
00:21:27.420
that so we were talking in the locker room uh about how you know people assume that it's just 20
00:21:35.060
or 10 hard time and 90 good time all right well the reason that people feel so frustrated all the
00:21:42.940
time with their lives and careers is because they assume wrong all right when you're ambitious and
00:21:48.480
you're hungry and you're trying to build something unique and special and out of the ordinary 80
00:21:53.020
percent of the time it's going to be the struggle 20 is going to be the non-struggle and that's the
00:21:58.280
reality these are no different than the people that are you know uh self-help uh victims of their own
00:22:05.140
thought process by thinking that you know they can go through life with little anxiety or no anxiety at
00:22:10.680
all you know so when a person thinks about anxiety and bro i used to do this i i would try to you
00:22:17.180
know i kind of bought into this mentality that like i shouldn't have no anxiety and and the reality is
00:22:23.220
is you can never have no anxiety just the day-to-day operation of being a human is going to cause you
00:22:27.940
some anxiety so when you're expecting to not have any and then you get a little bit you get ultra pissed
00:22:32.580
off because you have the wrong expectation you're like holy shit fuck why does this always happen to
00:22:37.880
me why why and you start to self-victimize yourself because you have the wrong expectation
00:22:43.440
and most people have the wrong expectation about their career or their ambition or their goal of
00:22:49.020
what they're trying to build because they assume that it's only going to be 10 struggle and 90 or
00:22:54.040
80 90 fucking good times when in reality it's flipped which causes them to feel frustrated all
00:23:00.460
the time bro once you just kind of accept like hey what i'm doing is hard what i'm doing is out of
00:23:05.880
the ordinary what i'm doing is something that other people aren't willing to do and guess what that
00:23:10.440
comes with it comes with a big heaping spoonful of fucking hard and it never goes away that's the
00:23:16.380
way it is so if you could just accept reality and understand that it's yeah yeah what we're doing is
00:23:23.040
hard like sal reminds me of this all the time bro i get frustrated as fuck okay he's like dude we're
00:23:30.320
doing something that's never been done in business it's going to be hard and i'm like fuck you're right
00:23:36.140
yeah you know what i'm saying like we get into the like we get into these x these false expectations
00:23:41.780
that actually fuck us all the way up we see this a lot with like young people and the entrepreneur
00:23:47.120
uh bullshit that we see on the internet like bro you know why so many young people have a hard time
00:23:52.800
building a career now because they see every other fucking knucklehead on the internet tell them they
00:23:57.620
make a hundred grand in fucking a week and you know these people are going to work for you know a
00:24:03.100
regular career salary and and they feel like they're fucking losing and bro i'm going to tell
00:24:07.980
you those people that you see on the internet in two more years you're going to see them on the
00:24:11.820
internet one of a few different ways this person scams out of this much money this person fucking
00:24:18.560
goes broke this person fucking gets arrested for this or you just don't hear from it all because
00:24:24.760
they're full of shit well i changed my life right bro oh yeah that's the other thing you know i gave
00:24:29.600
that life up because i want to be a i'm following jesus now or some fucking balance dude listen man
00:24:35.240
everybody's lying okay here's the reality it's hard and it takes a long fucking time and most of the
00:24:43.080
time it's going to be hard on a daily basis which is why you have to build yourself into someone
00:24:47.880
that can endure the fight for the long haul if you can become the person that can keep fighting
00:24:54.640
when other people quit fighting now you're in a position to win no matter what just by the
00:25:00.400
statistical data so this is about understanding it's a hard game it's a long game and the best
00:25:07.860
way that you can win is to never fucking quit and build yourself that has the correct into someone
00:25:12.060
who has the correct expectations and also can handle the fucking bullshit that comes with it i love
00:25:17.420
it man i'm thinking too like bro you know being broke's hard yeah being overweight's hard listen man
00:25:23.640
one of my first fucking sayings i ever wrote on the internet in 2012 was uh being successful is
00:25:30.380
hard as fuck but so is being broke and that meme has been fucking put out a gazillion times in a
00:25:37.600
gazillion different ways because it's fucking true truth are you do you want the hard with the reward or
00:25:43.020
do you want the hard with no reward those are your choices that's the choices you have do you want to
00:25:48.680
live a life that's hard intentionally with some sort of reward or do you want to live a life that's
00:25:54.840
hard by default with no reward those are the fucking choices that every single human being has and they
00:26:01.440
get to choose from there are no other fucking choices that is it that is it and people tell
00:26:08.320
themselves all kinds of stories about how there's other choices or i'm opting out or i chose this
00:26:15.700
other life we'll see because there's only two choices and how you're living your life right now
00:26:23.300
will tell you exactly which one you've already chosen i love it man guys andy our third and final
00:26:30.000
question question number three uh andy i know both of these are important but if you had to pick one
00:26:37.460
or prioritize one over the other which one would you pick quality of product or customer service
00:26:44.860
you know people say to me all the time dude when i show my cars they'll say if you only had to pick
00:26:53.160
one car what would you pick you know how you know what i say i said i wouldn't i wouldn't pick just
00:27:00.200
one car that's why the fuck i work so hard because i want choices and i want options i want all of it
00:27:06.020
yeah and if you want all of it the answer to the question that you just asked is that they are equally
00:27:11.680
important and so are the 20 other aspects of your business they're all equally important and you have to
00:27:16.880
be great at all of them you have to have a great product you have to have great service you have to
00:27:21.340
have great marketing you have to have a great culture you have to have great fucking uh people
00:27:27.660
running your finances you have to have great leadership you have to have fucking great in
00:27:32.460
every single area that's even a part of your organization and the biggest problem that people
00:27:38.140
fucking have is that they can't understand that that's the standard you know they they think that
00:27:45.820
if i have a great product i can make up with it with a shittier service right or if i have great
00:27:50.660
service i'll make up with it with a shittier product neither of those things are true because
00:27:55.020
there's enough companies out there that you're competing with at the highest level that are good
00:27:58.460
at all of those things and those people will always beat you so there is no there is no choice here
00:28:04.840
they're like this is a false idea of a choice you guys think there's a choice because you're ignorant
00:28:10.200
to the process and i don't mean that to insult anybody but if you don't you don't know what you
00:28:14.720
don't fucking know okay and what you don't know is is that when you go out and you try to build a
00:28:20.140
company and you compromise on any of these other things there's going to be another company out
00:28:24.220
there that exceeds at that that's going to take those customers that think that is the main uh point
00:28:29.340
that they care about that are going to get them and then they're going to do it in this other area
00:28:32.800
right there's people to shop for price there's people to shop for quality there's people to shop
00:28:36.340
for fucking service there's people to shop for culture there's people to shop for main america
00:28:40.400
there's people to shop for fucking every single reason you could possibly think of and your goal
00:28:45.320
is to build an organization to where every single one of those reasons is at fucking top level and
00:28:51.060
that's how you're going to win that's how you're going to build something great and this is a this is
00:28:56.080
a common misunderstanding amongst small and mid-level business owners um that they can compromise on
00:29:03.960
certain areas in their company to to still succeed and that might be true okay that might be true
00:29:09.460
because i'll be real with you i ran a hundred million dollar company when i was 350 fucking
00:29:14.840
pounds okay i didn't live the lifestyle our products weren't at the highest level our service
00:29:20.600
certainly wasn't what it is now there was a lot of things so i was able to find some success but it
00:29:25.580
worked quote correct exactly so there's like feedback mirage here okay right you're you think
00:29:31.280
you're successful but really when you compare yourself to the other people that are successful you're
00:29:37.580
just a booger on their nose and that realization never happens for a lot of people because they
00:29:42.460
get enough money to get a nice car a nice house maybe a lake house or something you know a nice level
00:29:47.960
of life but what they fail to look around and see is that none of their people are actually progressing
00:29:53.060
none of the people that have helped them get to that life are actually creating meaningful careers
00:29:58.420
because they've made the standard about them and not everybody else which stalls out their entire
00:30:04.060
fucking progress so they get to a level of let's say an eight figure level or a nine figure level
00:30:09.720
where they're making you know a few million bucks a year personally and then they just kind of quit
00:30:13.960
and when they kind of quit they think oh everything will just stay the same and i can make two million
00:30:18.440
dollars a year for the next 30 years you can't because when you stop everybody else keeps going and
00:30:24.260
eventually the options that the consumer has they're going to discover there are better options and you're
00:30:29.220
going to decline so like the idea that we can put shit in park and just coast or put it neutral and
00:30:35.100
coast along is a false idea it's a false idea in business it's a false idea in reality with your with
00:30:41.060
yourself the world is moving at a pace okay which means if you don't move with the pace you're going
00:30:48.920
to get left behind so your goal as a person or as an operator of business is to move ahead of the pace
00:30:54.080
that that the people are moving at so that you're always ahead of that but the minute you take the
00:30:59.080
foot off the gas and you say hey we're good at uh you know 30 million or we're good at 10 million or
00:31:04.160
we're good at 100 million you put it in neutral you start to lose and you won't know why because you'll
00:31:08.840
be doing every single thing you've always done to the best of your abilities but they're not at
00:31:14.460
standard for what customers expect because everybody else is progressing so there is no standing still
00:31:20.100
there is no neutral there is no maintaining you either winning and getting better and this goes
00:31:26.340
for yourself too like your own self or you are losing and getting worse there's no maintaining
00:31:32.080
yeah and people don't understand this like in a work environment like people think they can rest on
00:31:37.860
their laurels with their skill set all right let's just say you're a part of a team and you think man i'm
00:31:43.480
pretty good at this well you stop trying to grow you stop reading you stop taking care of your brain
00:31:49.400
you stop progressing you stop learning new skills because you're good already you're good all right
00:31:54.380
but everybody else keeps getting better and eventually you find yourself at the bottom of
00:31:58.680
the list where you're you're not good you're not only not good anymore you're at the bottom of the
00:32:02.860
list and you wash the fuck out that's what happens whenever people get complacent because there's new
00:32:08.060
techniques being being created and there's people who were behind them that were hungry that have gotten
00:32:12.880
much better and they've just continued to get better while those people didn't improve i've seen this
00:32:17.020
happen over the course of my company a dozen times where people at one point were the best person in
00:32:23.240
the organization and then over the course of three or four years they become literally not capable of
00:32:28.200
functioning in the organization because the organization continues to improve and and dude that's that's
00:32:33.380
something that like if you're an employee somewhere now now if you're somewhere that like doesn't give
00:32:37.740
a fuck right like cool yeah they probably won't care they're going to give they're going to care that you
00:32:42.460
show up uh but if you're somewhere that's aggressive that holds a high standard like you can't cut it in
00:32:48.680
those environments like you couldn't cut that you couldn't cut that mentality in pro sports no you
00:32:54.140
couldn't cut that mentality and and you get cut dude pro sports is the perfect analogy for the way
00:33:00.940
things really work okay people people want to make up all these excuses and these justifications
00:33:06.980
and these you know lies yeah bro about why they're not where they are it's lies okay you're not where
00:33:16.060
you are because you're not good enough to be where the fuck you want to be that is fucking it okay
00:33:21.120
there's motherfuckers that want to play in the nfl that just ain't good enough to play in nfl it doesn't
00:33:25.240
matter how nice they are doesn't matter fucking nothing they are not good enough and if people
00:33:31.820
would just eliminate all the other shit all the other shit they carry about why they're not where
00:33:37.160
they are there's only two fucking reasons why you're either a not good enough or b you haven't
00:33:43.740
been doing it long enough to get good enough and that is fucking it that's it yeah there's no other
00:33:48.900
reason you're not where you want to be because you're not fucking good enough you don't have the
00:33:53.300
skills required and that should be a key indicator to you to say all right i'm not good enough i'm
00:34:00.320
gonna go get the skills required and i'm not only my am i going to become good enough i'm gonna become
00:34:04.100
the best and that should be the mentality that you carry through if you carry that mentality everywhere
00:34:08.200
you go you never lose yeah yeah so i mean so so you're saying you know on this prioritizing picking
00:34:14.720
one is that not only can you focus on all of those things but it's absolutely necessary yeah if
00:34:22.540
you're serious if you're real yeah if you're serious otherwise you're gonna get beat eventually
00:34:26.120
you know i love it man yeah i mean i would start with quality of product and work out from there
00:34:30.340
you know if you only have so much energy to address one thing at a time let's like okay let me give you
00:34:36.540
a practical example right if you only have three people and you have the resources of these three smart
00:34:44.520
people you're going to want to pour the three resources of those smart people into the product
00:34:50.180
to start okay once you get the product where it needs to be then you're going to pour those resources
00:34:55.240
step by step into these other areas then next it would be your let's say customer experience slash
00:35:00.700
service right the next would be uh your ability to uh fulfill the order well maybe maybe it's in
00:35:07.780
different order but the point is you go from one thing to the next thing to the next thing to the
00:35:13.220
next thing with your resource of three people and you get them to the level that you want them to
00:35:17.460
be at and then what do you what happens when you get to the last one do you think you just forget
00:35:21.440
about them all again no you go back and you start looking at your product again the thing you started
00:35:26.120
with yeah and this is how you do it with a small team okay so you go one area two area three area
00:35:32.000
four area five area six area one area two area and you keep pushing the fucking envelope over the
00:35:39.040
course of time this is how you build a high standard company with a very small team that's
00:35:44.000
the prac we teach this in rt by the way so like if you want more information like this about how to
00:35:52.340
actually do stuff that's where rt comes in and by the way you're surrounded by people who are also
00:35:57.780
doing these things so you create an amazing network with it but the point is there's practicality to
00:36:02.580
doing it that way it's a technique and if you're a small company and you're asking like where should i put
00:36:06.840
my energy start with the product take all the areas that touch the customer step by step by step
00:36:12.960
by step first because if you go out and market your product and you don't have the ability to fulfill
00:36:18.200
the order properly in a timely manner or you don't have the ability to service the customer or the
00:36:23.800
product sucks you're fucking dead in the water okay there's no amount of ads there's no amount of
00:36:29.140
because the speed at which word of mouth travels about product now is too fast yeah so it's instant
00:36:35.360
yeah so like where back in the day you know you could start your company with a shit product and
00:36:40.980
then work it to a nice product you don't have that anymore because the feedback loop is fucking
00:36:46.380
instant so you don't have wiggle room on your product you don't have wiggle room on anything
00:36:51.000
that your customer touches anymore the minute you fucking launch it because the minute you launch it
00:36:56.040
people are saying was this worth it or was this not worth it is this what it says it is or is it
00:37:02.140
another marketing bullshit and if you get marketing bullshit right out the gate how the fuck are you
00:37:07.160
going to build your company with that reputation now you're carrying something you should have never
00:37:10.840
started carrying it's already hard right so that's what rt is for by the way uh rt syndicate.com
00:37:20.080
go look at it uh but the point is is that customer facing customer touching focus points first
00:37:26.480
everything else second repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat when things get good enough you hire more
00:37:31.400
people in and then eventually people take care of these each individual departments over the course
00:37:35.600
of time yeah love it man guys andy that was three all right that's three guys uh go pay the fee
