00:02:38.640
the little elf on the shelf thing you guys doing that yeah yeah sal loves that it's cool yeah it's
00:02:43.740
funny but it's like part of me also feels like i'm just like torturing a child you know why
00:02:49.560
because like you're fucking with their like their mental you know i'm saying like yeah i tried to
00:02:53.520
like tap in like you know welcome to the show that's what i'm saying yeah it's like it's like
00:02:57.660
i mean shit man everybody fuck with us look at the shit they put on tv yeah but then i think but
00:03:02.620
that's the other thing like i think too like man like how easy it is to convince kids of literally
00:03:07.180
fucking anything really like how impressionable they are man yeah most of those kids never grow up and
00:03:12.360
become adults they're easy to convince of anything yeah that's some real shit man so yeah you know so
00:03:17.920
i'm gonna try to keep it cool but anyway yeah we got some good ones though man yeah guys got some
00:03:24.060
really good ones guys andy question number one hey andy a friend of mine uh recently invited me to a tp
00:03:31.940
usa event but i have honestly lost a lot of faith in the quote-unquote conservative influencers because
00:03:38.920
most of them are just bandwagoners if i'm being honest i feel like they had a purpose for a short
00:03:44.520
period of time but i feel like that ship has sailed what are your thoughts on conservative
00:03:50.840
i think identifying with an ideology as an identity for anyone at this point in time is just playing into
00:04:01.600
the strategy that the people who are doing the damage to society wants to play into
00:04:05.480
i think that people who strictly identify themselves as a democrat or republican or conservative
00:04:12.460
or a liberal or right wing or left wing i think people like making their identity
00:04:20.500
these categories that we are offered are the real cause of the destruction that's happening in society
00:04:30.560
because when we identify with these in this whether it be conservative or liberal or whatever
00:04:35.860
side you identify with and we make that our identity it makes it almost impossible to unify
00:04:42.020
and unity is the only thing that's going to save this country whether you like it or not people
00:04:46.940
say well i'm not unifying with that well look i agree we shouldn't be unifying with the pedophiles
00:04:51.720
right yeah like there's yes like there should be a line in the sand drawn around common sense
00:04:57.740
individuals and those common sense individuals should all realize okay we may have some differences
00:05:04.840
we may have some disagreements we may have some fundamental things that we don't see eye to eye on
00:05:09.880
but we need to work together because if we don't work together the people on the other team are going to
00:05:17.120
get their way and that's going to mean bad things for us and when we say the other team we have to
00:05:22.260
realize they have propagated and intentionally made it seem like you know the other team is other
00:05:29.740
citizens the other team is not citizens in the country it's not your neighbor who has a joe biden
00:05:36.460
sticker on his fucking car i mean he might be an idiot but he's not the enemy all right okay there's a
00:05:42.000
difference and we could say that about the guys on the right too yeah all right for us to heal as a
00:05:47.840
nation for us to have a a true america again the people the citizens us are going to have to quit
00:05:57.340
identifying so hard with identities that they give us and start identifying with being an actual citizen
00:06:03.960
a human and someone who represents the free people of the united states of america and that's my opinion
00:06:11.140
on it and a lot of people will say well that's a libertarian no that's not that's just another label
00:06:15.520
i'm a free human who wants to build a country that is in the interest of other free humans
00:06:22.360
that benefits the citizens of this country whether they have the beliefs of this or that or the
00:06:28.120
otherwise and there are lines in the sand where certain beliefs are not tolerated like dudes dressing
00:06:34.360
up as women and shaking their dicks in front of little kids that's where the line is for almost
00:06:39.600
everybody in my opinion and at least where it needs to be yeah and we need to have
00:06:44.780
an understanding of what this government should look like what we should actually be treated like
00:06:50.900
and the reality is is we don't need this massive ridiculous government the the government that exists
00:06:57.960
in the united states of america is the largest organization ever assembled in the history of
00:07:01.820
humankind all right our government should have police they should have military it should provide very
00:07:07.620
basic essentials for society and the rest of the shit should be free market all right that's what
00:07:13.760
our country's supposed to be and it's not and actually it's really far from that and the idea
00:07:18.460
of saying oh well america is a free country is not actually true anymore we talk about this every day
00:07:23.880
when the citizens of this country when a citizen and and by the way it's most citizens but when any
00:07:30.540
citizen pays more money to the government than they get to take home for the work that they do
00:07:35.560
that makes them a slave of that government and we have lots and lots and lots of people in fact
00:07:40.780
the majority of taxpayers fall into that category when you add all the taxes up so we've got to be
00:07:47.040
real about the situation that we have and it's not right or left it's not liberal or conservative
00:07:53.000
it's elite tyrants versus the citizenship of this country and that's what we're dealing with so when
00:08:00.160
you ask me what do i think of the conservatives i don't see the conservative influencers any different
00:08:05.400
than the the liberal influencers or the left influencers i see a lot of people who do not have
00:08:10.700
an identity or anything going on outside of their identity as a conservative influencer who are working
00:08:16.040
to sell t-shirts or get traffic to their page or trying to um you know be relevant and that's their relevancy
00:08:25.020
and that's not in our best interest as as citizens either yeah so you know this is why i don't go speak at
00:08:31.640
these events this is why i don't go to quote unquote i'm a pro-freedom human american citizen
00:08:38.800
i am pro-freedom i'm not right i'm not left i'm not republican i'm not democrat i'm not libertarian
00:08:45.220
i'm a human fucking being that wants the best for the rest of the human beings and i want some common
00:08:49.840
fucking sense in the country and i want to be left alone i want to pay low taxes i want to be able to go
00:08:55.560
build things and prosper and get all the things that have been promised to me in the constitution of this
00:08:59.880
country which we do not have that's what i want and until people wake the fuck up and stop identifying
00:09:05.440
with left or right republican democrat and black white gay straight all the shit that is that is put
00:09:12.400
down on us for the intention of preventing unity until we figure that out and stop doing that we will
00:09:20.820
continue to be abused by these people who hold the power that's reality so that's what i think of
00:09:26.880
them i don't i i think a lot of these guys are just they make things worse i think they sensationalize
00:09:33.420
things that that should be discussed i think that you know when we look at a couple different scenarios
00:09:40.480
in the country right now and we look at let's say how big the censorship is you know you have to look
00:09:47.140
at what they try to contain to understand what they're afraid of right what do they try to contain
00:09:52.680
what do they try to do what are they trying to do well they're trying to get us censored on the
00:09:57.880
internet so what does that tell you they're afraid of our speech they're afraid of our voices and that
00:10:02.120
goes for all of our voices that's not just people who have a big platform this is every single
00:10:07.040
individual if they weren't afraid of your voice why would they come up with an operation like
00:10:11.300
political correctness which is the uh abandonment of fact to not offend people with the truth why would
00:10:19.100
that become a thing why would there be a social movement like cancel culture where if you don't
00:10:23.460
step in line with the the beliefs we're going to take your business we're going to get you fired we're
00:10:27.700
going to ruin your name we're going to embarrass you publicly we're going to we're going to we're
00:10:31.160
going to hurt you why would they have this cultural movement of of uh you know silent majority why would
00:10:38.460
they create nobility around silence why would they do these things it should be obvious to anybody with a
00:10:43.480
critical thinking mind that they're afraid of the voice of the individual and you guys have been
00:10:49.140
conditioned to believe that your voice doesn't matter you believe that you have to be someone
00:10:52.900
with a big platform i have to have someone that has millions of followers or millions of dollars or
00:10:58.400
somebody relevant or famous that the that thought process that's these these people with massive
00:11:05.540
followings are going to get it done is what's preventing it from getting it done okay so there's that right
00:11:10.660
so what are they trying to contain they're trying to get you to silence they're trying to keep you
00:11:15.600
shamed they're trying to get you to believe like you're alone so what does that tell you they're
00:11:20.620
afraid of they're afraid of your voice your voice is the most powerful thing that you could have
00:11:23.780
okay and then let's look at the second thing that they're afraid of okay let's look at all the
00:11:28.680
intentional division that they that they promote around race okay like let's let's just break this
00:11:34.600
the fuck down all right we're talking about the pigment the level of fucking melanin
00:11:40.460
in someone's skin tone like that's the level of fucking ridiculousness that we have been reduced
00:11:47.880
to they have they in their mind they have gotten the peasant class to argue over something that is
00:11:54.720
legitimately irrelevant it's irrelevant okay it doesn't matter how much fucking pigment you have
00:11:59.180
in your skin it doesn't matter where the fuck you come from it doesn't matter if you're black white gay
00:12:04.020
straight it doesn't matter bro we're all human beings and they propagate all these uh identities
00:12:11.180
left right black white gay straight blah blah blah all these identity politic issues because they
00:12:17.100
understand that when people pick opposing sides there's no discussion and when there's no discussion
00:12:22.400
there can be no unity and when there's no unity they get to maintain control and fuck the rest of us
00:12:26.620
and so when we look at like what they do and their actions we should be asking ourselves well why are
00:12:32.660
they doing these things and what are they afraid of and why is this how does this affect me and how
00:12:37.120
should i behave and the answer is you should behave in a way that is the opposite of the way they
00:12:41.760
intend you to behave and they want all of us to pick sides they want all of us to argue they want us to
00:12:46.800
go on the internet and trash each other and call each other all these names they want us to go out and
00:12:51.280
march against each other they want us to fight each other in the street in reality if we all just like
00:12:56.080
hit pause if you could hit pause on a pause button and one person could speak to everybody at once
00:13:01.820
you could solve this problem in like five fucking minutes yeah do you guys not notice what's going
00:13:06.100
on do you not see this over and over again yeah i understand you guys might have different beliefs
00:13:11.520
than we have we have different beliefs than you but at the end of the day these guys are the ones
00:13:16.760
making it hard on all of us this is why and if we if you could give that talk to everybody at once
00:13:22.440
you see what i'm saying this is why people like martin luther king were assassinated a lot of people
00:13:27.520
say oh well he was a marxist motherfucker got everybody to unify okay and they killed him for
00:13:32.840
it jfk why'd they kill him well they killed him for a couple reasons but the main reason was is
00:13:38.600
everybody was behind them okay they're afraid of unifying voices and if everybody can become a
00:13:43.780
unifying voice and everybody can kind of look past some of the ridiculous differences that we may
00:13:49.140
have and say okay look these are below the line differences we can get back to these later let's get
00:13:54.960
back to these but right now we have this problem right and that's what needs to happen right now
00:13:59.160
but nobody's talking about it because nobody has any interest in talking about it because it doesn't
00:14:04.340
get the clicks like shares and drama that is required to go online i mean let's look at what
00:14:09.880
gets traffic online dude we got people uh you know all day long with these amazing stories of overcoming
00:14:16.840
and struggle and and and fight and then overcoming again who inspire us all but what gets the views
00:14:24.040
what gets the likes oh it's some hateful shit or some mindless shit like some dude
00:14:29.060
watch me eat 47 boogers out of my own nose right 10 million fucking views right like the look at what
00:14:36.640
they're encouraging correct so like dude we're in a situation where we have to be smarter than what
00:14:43.420
they're trying to propagate to us and unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's happening it seems like
00:14:47.860
it's happening a little bit i see it happening with our audience but the only way it's going to
00:14:52.160
happen with our audience is if with everybody is if all of our audience listens to what i'm saying
00:14:57.180
and executes it by the way guys do you not understand this is what i'm trying to do i'm
00:15:02.960
trying to get you to do the thing so that everybody else in your neighborhood does the thing so that
00:15:07.980
we can fucking fix this shit like you're an active participant in what's going on here you know
00:15:12.760
what i mean this is not just a fucking podcast bro that i do for fun what a day to be alive listen
00:15:17.100
i come in here and do this because i want to solve this problem in a legitimate way and you guys
00:15:21.980
say well run for office running for office is not going to solve the problem because culture
00:15:25.840
is what determines where the politics go and right now here what i do here has much more effect on
00:15:32.120
culture than me being elected into any fucking office okay so if you want to know why shit ain't
00:15:38.360
getting fixed go look in the fucking mirror man why are you not activating why are you not spreading
00:15:43.420
the message why are you not talking to your neighbors and your friends why are you not having
00:15:47.680
these discussions in your community why are you not getting engaged because the plan is there and
00:15:52.660
it will work but everybody has to participate and by the way i know a lot of people do and for you
00:15:57.940
guys it makes me very proud i see it every day i'm not talking about everybody because every time
00:16:02.780
i say something like this we get all the comments we're out here man yeah we are out here
00:16:07.140
but there ain't enough of us out here there's a whole bunch of us listening that aren't out here
00:16:11.240
and we need to get out here that's real shit man i love it guys andy question number two
00:16:17.380
uh andy i'm 30 years old and i run a successful company as a general contractor
00:16:22.940
from my perspective i'm moving forward at a good pace both personally as well as professionally
00:16:28.900
but i witnessed myself struggling to take compliments and acknowledging my achievements because
00:16:34.880
in my mind i am nowhere close to where i want to be in life i sense that you are also wired
00:16:39.700
mentally like this uh what advice do you have for keeping a positive mindset during this time
00:16:45.300
during these thoughts i constantly find myself having negative thoughts because i feel like i
00:16:49.740
haven't accomplished shit in the grand scheme of things
00:16:52.140
i think that most high achievers are wired that way i think that most high i think there's one of two
00:17:02.240
ways high achievers are wired they're either wired that way the way this man describes which he is
00:17:09.160
correct i am also wired that way um even when people tell me good things about myself i really
00:17:14.160
almost just think they're full of shit i don't ever really believe them which you know has its
00:17:19.060
emotional toll on me it does um and then i think there's other people who do everything they do for
00:17:26.140
the compliment and those people are also effective at achievement because they're chasing the next
00:17:31.480
compliment because it's like gives them the the dopamine they need it's like an internal yeah so
00:17:35.960
their job gets done for those people as well for both groups the job gets done but i just think it's
00:17:41.760
how you're wired i happen to be wired like this gentleman um who has a very hard time i have a very
00:17:49.100
hard time believing or accepting any praise or any compliments of any sort and um it is because i feel
00:17:57.200
like i haven't done anything relevant i still feel that way i still to this day and people think i'm
00:18:01.980
full of shit or being falsely humble when i say this but i still feel like i haven't done anything
00:18:07.260
i feel like what i've done isn't enough and i feel like what i'm doing is so big and it's so huge
00:18:14.220
that like i probably won't ever feel satisfied just because i'm wired i'm not wired to be fed a
00:18:21.020
steak dinner bro in the cage at the zoo i'm wired to be let free and go fucking hunt and kill like
00:18:25.800
that's what i'm wired for okay so i don't stop to wonder if i'm doing a good job i don't stop to think
00:18:31.880
like oh and then when it's like someone says hey you're doing really good i'm like bro i haven't
00:18:37.060
even fucking started what the fuck are you talking about like that's my natural reaction and people
00:18:41.080
usually um people misunderstand that they think i'm either being a dick or they think i'm i'm being
00:18:47.000
uh falsely almost like falsely humble or i'm fishing for more shit like bro no i i'm doing my
00:18:54.120
thing and i haven't done my thing yet and it's so big you don't know what i'm doing yet and i don't
00:18:59.720
take compliments well and uh you know i i think i don't even know if there's anything wrong with that
00:19:05.880
you know i have a i have a good friend of mine who said to me one time he's like andy
00:19:10.040
you need to learn to be a gracious receiver meaning i need to learn how to accept praise i need to learn
00:19:18.000
how to accept like people doing things for me like another thing is like bro how many times you've seen
00:19:23.260
somebody pay for dinner with me never it never happens never like i don't fucking take shit from
00:19:27.520
anybody no i don't even take money from ads because i'm so fucking like dude fuck that i'm fucking
00:19:32.400
doing on my own you know what i'm saying i mean do you think it's a fear of like complacency almost
00:19:36.480
like the moment you get the credit it's like i think there's some truth to that i think there's
00:19:41.660
truth to people who i witness it i see it all the time i see people who start to read their own
00:19:47.960
headlines or their own press clippings and then they get lazy and then they stop working and then
00:19:52.840
they lose their shit i've seen it happen yeah so um you know what do i have for advice
00:20:00.680
well if i had figured this out for myself i'd probably have better advice but since i'm doing
00:20:06.280
the same thing that you're doing i actually choose to believe that certain people are wired certain
00:20:12.000
ways to accomplish certain things and just because you're wired that way i don't necessarily mean
00:20:17.720
think that that's that there's anything wrong with you i think i think we deal we live in this society
00:20:22.720
now where it's so fake and it's so over presented as perfect that if you're wired even slightly
00:20:35.460
different than what the socially acceptable norm is you feel like an outcast right because you're
00:20:41.060
like fuck i know i'm not like these motherfuckers like right what the fuck's wrong with me right but
00:20:45.920
the reality is is i don't necessarily believe there's anything wrong with you i think that you know
00:20:50.620
there's certain people that are wired certain ways and a lot of times our biggest gift is also our
00:20:56.280
biggest handicap so you might be a very you might be able to become a very successful business person
00:21:01.700
because of this gift but you might struggle in other areas and nobody has it all figured out dude
00:21:07.160
you know nobody has this this you know we're living in a unique time man we're living in a time
00:21:15.540
where first of all we have to see everybody else's lives every day all day because if we're on social
00:21:22.680
media and we're usually on social media because it's a big part of our business okay so we're out
00:21:27.720
here witnessing everybody's quote-unquote lives and we we forget that there are many other layers to
00:21:35.940
everybody else's life nobody goes on the internet outside the victim culture perpetrated by the
00:21:42.520
predatory therapy culture that's happening on the internet right now nobody goes on the internet
00:21:46.680
except except professional victims and tells you their shit those people over exaggerate their
00:21:52.380
hardships for attention but everybody else who's normal everybody else who's a a regular human being
00:21:59.720
they're still presenting a perfect picture of their life yeah okay and never in the history of
00:22:05.160
humankind have we had to compare ourselves at that kind of a rate right like people don't understand
00:22:11.660
this that that are born with social media as a as a way of life but like you know when i was growing
00:22:18.340
up dude like you'd walk you'd you'd be going down the street thinking you're just fine you might see
00:22:22.680
your your neighbor kid out in the street with a new bike you're like fuck dude tommy got a new bike
00:22:27.580
i want a new bike right and there's like a fleeting sense of like jealousy or whatever right i'd be like
00:22:33.940
i'll go steal it yeah so so fucking you know but it's never happened no now it's in your face all day
00:22:41.520
and it's not just material things like a lot of people shit on the material things i actually
00:22:46.180
think the material things are one of the best things on the internet because they don't talk
00:22:49.360
no shit all right i could just appreciate it for what it is that's some cool shit but dude we got
00:22:54.220
people presenting their family perfect we got people presenting their mindset perfect we got people
00:22:59.500
presenting that they've got it all figured out and let me tell you something relationships i mean
00:23:03.140
nobody has it all figured out it's a fucking lie okay every dude and then we got like all these
00:23:09.460
entrepreneurs faking their shit you know like oh i know everything i'm ultra successful
00:23:14.160
motherfucker look dude i'm more successful than fucking 100 of those fucking clowns on the internet
00:23:19.760
and i'm gonna tell you right now it's hard as fuck for me every day hard as fuck every day it's been
00:23:25.360
hard every day and i don't anticipate that changing anytime soon so you know we have to take all these
00:23:33.100
things into account when we start to like examine ourselves because it's very easy for us to examine
00:23:38.800
ourselves and say there's something wrong with us when we look around and everybody's got a
00:23:42.600
fucking mask on you know what i'm saying or everybody's wearing a costume you know like like
00:23:47.160
dude dude it makes me think like what if that is the normal way right because i think of it like this
00:23:53.080
like think back to like hunter gatherer days right like we go kill a fucking mammoth there's no like
00:23:57.980
there's not really any celebration we just get to eat there is no reward system outside of like
00:24:02.780
it's just what you did it's life and death like all right when's the next one coming up but now
00:24:06.680
because of social media we are indebted in this like reward system cycle that makes us think we're
00:24:12.020
supposed to be getting some type of credit or some type of gratification from anything that we do
00:24:16.460
and so like what if that mentality is how it's supposed to be i i don't think that there's anything
00:24:22.540
that says it isn't that's my point i don't think there's anything wrong with being an extremely driven
00:24:27.720
human being to where you don't really i i don't i don't think i don't think that's i i think i think
00:24:33.680
i guess what i'm trying to say is i think we often put labels on ourselves that are false because of
00:24:42.100
the environment that we are surrounded by in that isn't reality like it should be in in true human
00:24:47.700
form right if we didn't have technology and we didn't have these phones we wouldn't see all this
00:24:52.900
bullshit and by the way nobody would be fronting any of it either like it create social media and
00:24:59.300
the internet has created a completely false reality of humanity and it's very dangerous
00:25:05.860
psychologically and nobody really understood what it was going to create nobody really understood
00:25:10.660
what the backlash would be like i said about ai it was implemented and the greedy marketers and
00:25:16.900
the greedy entrepreneurs took the shit and ran with it without ever thinking of what the implications
00:25:22.600
could be and now we know okay and it's fucked people up and there's a lot of people out here
00:25:28.840
with anxiety depression frustration feelings of worth worthlessness uh feelings that there's
00:25:35.200
something wrong with them like this person and you know even sometimes like me like uh all because
00:25:41.120
we're presented with this false reality that isn't real and i think it's important for us to have real
00:25:45.340
discussions about the internet you know even even the there's just very little authenticity man and
00:25:53.580
there's people all over the internet who are working to achieve a thing and they're willing to present
00:25:58.680
whatever message and whatever picture and whatever uh theme is necessary to achieve the thing without any
00:26:06.620
regard of what the thing does to other human beings yeah and um when we compare ourselves to that
00:26:15.700
that we're there's something wrong with us and i i personally like this this person here
00:26:22.580
you know you say okay what how i deal with this i i would deal with it by continuing to go and kick an ass
00:26:28.280
and building a great life and being proud of it and accept your gift for what it is you got something
00:26:32.960
that not everybody else got you have the ability to move forward without the need for praise when most people
00:26:38.020
need praise every five minutes to even keep moving forward that's a huge advantage when it
00:26:41.920
comes to building shit like i don't i don't need people to cheer for me i don't need people to
00:26:45.700
clap i don't need praise i don't need to be told anything i'm just going to fucking go build and
00:26:49.780
that's a tremendous asset for an entrepreneur to have so the fact that you're in entrepreneurship and
00:26:54.860
you have that skill set i would say is probably a big bonus to you now are you going to struggle in
00:27:00.020
other areas of your life you probably are there's probably going to be situations that other people
00:27:03.880
have that seem completely normal that you have zero interest in right and you're going to be you're
00:27:08.940
going to be looking around and everybody enjoys doing this thing everybody enjoys doing that thing
00:27:14.020
and you're like well fuck i don't enjoy any of that i guess i'm fucked up no you're not fucked up bro
00:27:18.060
you're just built for a different purpose they are the lion that can be fed the steak you're not the
00:27:23.620
lion that can be fed the steak you're the lion that has to be uncaged and go fucking kill shit on your
00:27:27.660
own that's a massive advantage to have in business and entrepreneurship and i would take it for what it is
00:27:34.040
you got a gift other people didn't get uh yeah you can acknowledge and give yourself a little bit
00:27:38.820
more love and say hey man this is what i actually did this is what i've done this is what i'm doing
00:27:42.640
and be real with yourself but never lose that edge of having of being able to go without praise because
00:27:48.380
i think that's what holds most people back honestly i think most people you know like over the course of
00:27:53.660
of my life when i see people who quit whatever path they're on or change or whatever one of the things
00:27:59.200
that ever that always comes up is you know nobody appreciated me nobody nobody showed me any
00:28:05.380
recognition and real talk like i don't give a fuck about that like at all i don't fucking care
00:28:11.320
you know i'm saying i mean yeah it's nice sometimes but i don't need it you know you know what i mean
00:28:15.900
so i think not needing that is a huge advantage i don't think it means you're wired wrong i don't
00:28:20.540
think it's fucked up people the world needs fucking warriors that are gonna go build shit
00:28:24.800
no you're one of them that's real shit you know i think there's a lot to this i think this could
00:28:30.360
be a whole discussion for many hours you know what i mean yeah so i was i was over here trying
00:28:35.300
to pull up the the depression rates in like the last 60 years can't find it but like it would be
00:28:40.120
interesting to see you know if you lay that well that's because back in the day they didn't fucking
00:28:44.880
call it depression they called it fucking life exactly but it's called hard that's what i'm saying
00:28:49.220
like fuck bro but bro putting that graph on top of like the increase in technology
00:28:53.880
like i see how those listen listen bro here's the truth and i say this and people take it out
00:29:01.140
of context and they get so fucking pissed off when i say this but the real reason why most people are
00:29:06.580
depressed and the reason people have anxiety is because they don't have a real purpose in their
00:29:11.160
life they don't have a real mission to accomplish humans are mission-driven beings they have to have
00:29:17.340
something to build contribute to or be a part of and when you sit online all day and you just scroll
00:29:21.860
through your fucking phone and sit on your couch and order your uber eats and smoke weed or drink
00:29:27.300
alcohol dude you're gonna feel like shit okay that doesn't mean you're depressed it means you're not
00:29:32.740
actively living a life okay and this is why when you get the fuck up and you go out and go on a walk
00:29:38.320
you feel a little better and when you get the fuck up and you go out and go on a walk with three or
00:29:42.220
four of your people that you know you feel even better and you know when you feel even better than that
00:29:46.280
when you get those three or four people to go build something or contribute something or do
00:29:49.920
something good for your community you feel even better so the more you live a life that humans are
00:29:56.180
built to live for the less depression anxiety you have all right and and the technology and convenience
00:30:02.240
that we're all sold as the way that we should live now because it's so convenient and so easy we
00:30:08.200
should consider who's telling us that message who's selling us that and what are they getting from that
00:30:12.740
message what do they get from our complacency what do they get from our apathy what do they get from
00:30:17.980
our laziness they get everything we get nothing and that's where the fuck we are so like dude i don't
00:30:23.460
actually believe you know for a long time bros on antidepressants for fucking a long time you know and
00:30:29.560
when i fucking finally came to this conclusion i'm like this is bullshit you know what i'm saying like
00:30:35.000
it is bullshit it's bullshit it's bullshit i'm not saying it doesn't exist i'm not saying you're not
00:30:40.160
struggling but what i am saying is the reason you're struggling is because your shit ain't hard
00:30:44.540
enough and you're not applying yourself and you're not going and building contributing and being a part
00:30:49.400
of the human experience and it's causing you mental anguish and that's normal and technology contributes
00:30:54.360
to that so we shouldn't be surprised that so many people say that they are depressed or that they have
00:30:59.160
massive anxiety what you really have is massive anxiety because you're letting your life pass you by
00:31:03.720
without doing anything with it that's what technology has created i love it yeah guys andy our third and
00:31:11.040
final question andy question number three my boyfriend is a young entrepreneur and he's been diving head
00:31:16.640
first uh into all real estate i know that grind sucks and there's a lot of days that are going to be hard
00:31:24.260
my question is in the early years of your journey is there anything specific that you wish the people
00:31:29.680
who supported you would have done for you or anything you can think of now
00:31:33.520
no because everything that happened to me that was negative in terms of the relationships i had the
00:31:41.860
friendships i've had has made me who i am today and taught me everything i needed to know about people
00:31:46.620
and life and how to operate with the way that i am wired um not the way that everybody else is wired
00:31:52.340
uh so no i wouldn't change anything for me at all um but i think that's not the real question
00:32:00.320
i think the question that you're asking is how do i become someone who is who is the biggest supporter
00:32:07.140
of this person that i care about while they're on this very difficult journey is that fair yeah
00:32:12.180
that's that's what the question sounded like to me yeah um here's what i can tell you i can tell you
00:32:18.220
that becoming an entrepreneur is indescribably hard um and this is why i get so frustrated with
00:32:25.720
the online entrepreneur marketing that we see on a regular basis from people who haven't really been
00:32:31.120
down the path it's incredibly difficult it's incredibly hard it takes every fucking thing that
00:32:36.820
you have it sucks all of your energy it sucks all of your life it's the only thing that you can really
00:32:40.880
think about or care about and that's reality and you know when i think back about around the
00:32:46.300
friendships i had and i want to say this before i say this i don't hold any hard feelings i don't i
00:32:52.160
don't like look back at girls i dated and think like man fuck them or anything i've i've come to
00:32:58.140
realize that certain people want different things in life and the people that that i was with at those
00:33:04.080
times wanted different things that i wanted and you know in the moment you get pissed right you're
00:33:09.340
like oh this person's a piece of shit they're fucking with me or this or that some people never get
00:33:13.880
over that but um the nature of human beings is different like what i want is different than what
00:33:19.700
they want or what you want or what somebody else wants and when you have an entrepreneur who's going
00:33:25.560
to go down this hard path there's a pretty good chance that they're willing to do whatever the
00:33:28.820
fuck it takes and if that means sacrificing their relationship with you then it means that too they
00:33:33.700
don't give a fuck okay and that's a very hard thing for partners to understand uh because truly driven
00:33:39.840
people are wired that way like it comes and dude there's gonna be a lot of people with a lot of
00:33:45.420
judgment when i say this but it comes before everything that path comes before everything
00:33:50.660
for people because that's how much it actually takes to actually achieve it and that's reality
00:33:55.520
and anybody who's ever fucking actually built something will tell you that's reality if they're
00:34:00.380
telling the truth it comes before at least in the beginning at least in the beginning now there
00:34:05.500
comes time later where you have family and things change and i understand that as well but that's
00:34:10.960
after work to get something off and and off the ground and running it's fucking everything and um
00:34:18.440
one of the things that would have made it a lot easier on me was if the people around me would have
00:34:25.040
understood that i was that committed uh they didn't always remember i was that committed and so
00:34:30.680
things like relationship drama or friend drama or gossip or partying or stupid things often got in my
00:34:39.660
way uh because the people around me did not understand me they they understood what everybody
00:34:46.560
else was doing they didn't understand what i was trying to do and because i didn't even really
00:34:50.640
understand what i was trying to do a lot of time was wasted by doing these other things and i do kind
00:34:55.980
of regret that a little bit but not all the time because i had some great stories i had a lot of fun i
00:34:59.820
experienced a lot of life right um but i could have gotten to where i'm at now a lot faster had
00:35:05.880
i not had those distractions that's what i'm gonna clarify so you're saying like there was things like
00:35:09.940
you know maybe like like peer pressure the guilt trip like yeah but oh andy come out with us this
00:35:14.140
weekend but look bro you got to remember i'm a different human being now than i was then sure
00:35:18.060
okay i'm a different human being than i was two years ago yeah like after going through this
00:35:22.440
shoulder surgery and this rehab like i'm a fucking mentally hardened person now in a different way than i
00:35:27.640
was he if you knew me two years ago you don't know me no more that's real shit okay 10 years ago
00:35:34.540
it's completely different right 15 it's completely different yeah so uh you know back then i didn't
00:35:42.520
have the discipline or the ability to recognize that those things were costing me time right or
00:35:46.860
costing me effectiveness and uh you know i wasted a lot of time doing the things that were quote
00:35:52.260
unquote normal because other people wanted me to do them when in reality i was never happy doing
00:35:59.460
those things it wasn't it wasn't what i wanted to do and it just made me it almost killed my progress
00:36:05.060
a number of times so like if i could go back and change anything i wouldn't because i still was able
00:36:10.080
to have a lot of life experiences have a lot of fun uh but i wouldn't have learned the lessons that
00:36:16.060
i'm teaching you had i not gone through that does that make sense so it's almost necessary yeah for
00:36:22.700
me it was absolutely necessary and i i think you know what this person what this woman's actually
00:36:27.980
asking is how can i support someone remember just realize they're fully committed um and any nagging or
00:36:35.360
any emotional draining shit that you do on him moves you further apart and further apart and further
00:36:41.500
apart until he's gone so uh you try to minimize the nagging you try to minimize the frustration
00:36:47.440
you communicate like an adult not like a little kid you know no silent treatments no guilt trips
00:36:53.040
real communication that that would be extremely helpful for someone in that position um you know
00:36:59.600
understanding that they are on a different kind of mission for a different kind of life and trying
00:37:04.540
to keep yourself from speaking to them in terms of reality and what everybody else is doing that was
00:37:11.800
something that always pissed me off dude like all these people would tell me like when are you going
00:37:16.620
to grow up and get this you know you're you're eight years in you're not making any money yet like
00:37:21.180
when's it time to throw in the towel you know what i'm saying like that shit is not helpful eight
00:37:25.740
years in man that's crazy i know but people don't but but look dude everybody else was telling me
00:37:31.580
hey man it's time to you know it's time to get serious you know this isn't this isn't panning out
00:37:37.060
and i'm here like i know i'm right on the verge you know i know i'm right over the next hill bro i'm
00:37:43.020
going to be there and and honestly it it alienated me away from most of my friend group because they
00:37:49.140
could never see where the fuck i was trying to go and it was always those kind they thought they
00:37:53.780
were being my friend yeah they thought they were giving me a good talk hey man you're going down the
00:37:58.020
wrong path of life i knew i wasn't going down the wrong path they just didn't understand what path
00:38:03.280
i was on and i think for a non-entrepreneur minded person it's very hard to understand that journey
00:38:10.800
if you don't have a parent or you don't have a family member you've never been around it
00:38:14.460
it's very difficult to understand so in my opinion um you know trying to not nag don't be an emotional
00:38:22.180
drain try to contribute don't complain don't cause extra stress have real conversations like an adult
00:38:29.580
don't play games uh don't throw fits don't throw temper tantrums because dude those just move you
00:38:35.840
further out of that person's life that person will shut you the fuck out eventually because anybody
00:38:40.800
who's going to invest that kind of time energy and effort and pain into building what it is they're
00:38:46.120
wanting to build they're willing to cut you out for it too so i think it's just very important to
00:38:51.740
remember and this goes for anybody who's who's in a relationship with an entrepreneurial minded person
00:38:55.640
they will eventually cut you out and if you're an entrepreneur and you have someone who's in your
00:39:00.620
life who's causing you all this pain and frustration and you're thinking about quitting just understand
00:39:05.340
that person will complain about you quitting the minute you quit okay so the minute right now they're
00:39:11.260
saying oh you're so busy you don't have any time for me you're obsessed you're this you're that it's
00:39:16.860
unhealthy the minute you quit they're gonna say you're a loser why don't you do something you know
00:39:23.420
