In this episode of the show, we talk about what's going on in the world and how we can be the solution to the problems going on around us. We also talk about the 75 Hard Program and how it can change your life.
00:00:00.000What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realists say goodbye to the lies and fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:24.760Guys, today we have Q and AF. That's where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. Questions can be about anything. Usually they're about personal development, business, entrepreneurship, how to kick ass. But if you want to throw some in there about other stuff too, that's cool. You can submit questions for Q and AF episodes a couple of different ways. First way is guys, you can email those questions into ask Andy at andy for seller.com or you can go on YouTube on the Q and AF episodes, drop your question in the comments and we'll pick some from there as well.
00:00:53.580So throughout the week, we will have different episodes. Tomorrow, we will have CTI. That stands for cruise the internet. That is where we put topics on the screen. We talk about what's going on. We speculate on what we think is true. We speculate on what we think is not true. And then we talk about how we, the people need to be the solution to the problems going on in the world.
00:01:12.580Then we have real talk. Real talk is five to 20 minutes of me just giving you a little real talk. Some of you might call it a rant depending on how you take it, but that's what it is. We have 75 hard verses. That's where someone who has completed the 75 hard program comes on, talks about how their life was before, how their life is now, and how you could change your life using the 75 hard program.
00:01:33.580If you're unfamiliar with the 75 hard program, it is the initial phase of the live hard program, which you can find for free at episode 208. That's audio episodes only. It's not on YouTube.
00:01:46.360Uh, there is a book called the book on mental toughness available on my website, Andy for seller.com, which outlines the entire live hard program plus 10 chapters on mental toughness, why it's important to cultivate how it can improve your life, uh, and how it'll change your life.
00:02:02.060And, uh, there's also some case studies of some very successful people in there as well that you're going to recognize. Um, so you don't have to buy the book to get the program. The program is available for free, but the book will explain it nuts and bolts, top to bottom, inside out.
00:02:14.580Uh, for those of you that need to know like everything about it, which I'm one of those people. So, um, yeah, we have a fee for the show. The fee is very simple. It's not monetary. Uh, you'll notice that we don't run ads on the show. Um, I don't like to be told what to do. Uh, that's kind of my thing.
00:02:31.480And, uh, so I'm not going to run any ads on the show because I don't want to listen to their shit. And the benefit of that to you is you don't have to hear 30 minutes of ads or me talking about shit that I don't even use so that, uh, you know, I can get paid.
00:02:44.280I get paid other ways in my life. So I ask very simply, instead of that, that you help us share the show. Okay. We're constantly battling shadow bans and traffic throttling and censorship. And if you don't share the show, the message doesn't get out. So if it's a good show, it makes you think, makes you laugh, uh, gives you a new perspective, gives you some skills or some information that are helpful to you. Uh, do us a solid and don't be a hoe.
00:03:08.140Change the show. All right. Hey, what's up, man? Happy Monday. Yeah. What's going on with you?
00:03:12.420Nothing, dude. Just same old stuff. Yeah. You know, what's up with you? Oh, nothing much. We had a good, uh, good, uh, little, little day Friday this past Friday. Got to try on some stuff. You guys will be seeing that. Oh yeah. Yeah. Got DJ and I got some new suits. Yeah. Fucking pimp. Yeah, they are. They are probably the coolest thing I've ever owned in my life. Yeah. Same. No, no, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Um, and nobody's got that. Like nobody's, that doesn't even exist. Dude, these motherfuckers don't have no swag. That's what it is. I know. Yeah.
00:03:42.400People are going to shit their brains. Yeah. Shit their brains right out, right out their nostrils. I think they already did that. No, that's true. Yeah. That's true. At least, at least 30% of society. Yeah. Not our listeners. Might be a little bit more than that, but yeah, that is what it is. What's going on with them, man? Everything good? About eight. Uh, yeah, dude. Everything's great, man. Uh, training's going good. Finally healthy. Um, feeling good. You know, fuck man. It's good. Let's get it.
00:04:12.400About the future, no matter what happens. Uh, because I don't think people are going to tolerate some of the stuff going on. And I feel that's coming to a head, which means that we're closer and closer and closer and moving forward the right way. So I'm excited about that. Yeah. It's like the quicker we get to the shit, we can get past the shit. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of how I feel. That's a good place to be. Yeah. It's a good place to be. Um, well guys, Andy, as always, I got some good ones for you. All right. Let's do it.
00:05:12.400Totally lose everything. So I feel as if maybe I should just do everything until I reach a point where I can afford for other people's mistakes. What are your thoughts on this? First of all, transitioning from a career as an intrapreneur to a career as an entrepreneur is not a, it's not usually a situation where you just go from one to the other.
00:05:36.980usually you know you continue to work your main income source and you take your spare time your
00:05:48.460nights and your weekends and the time that you have outside of that and you build your business
00:05:53.080up to a point where it's making some income that will supplement the income that you're making at
00:05:58.700your primary job okay and then when it gets to a point where you can survive on the new thing
00:06:06.500then you make the switch to full-time so first of all you should be thinking about that most people
00:06:11.540that go from one to the other and do what you're describing you want to do they end up failing
00:06:16.380so it's very very important that you have some supplemental income while you're doing your
00:06:22.220business okay if i hadn't have had that when i was coming up i would have failed the first six years
00:06:27.260that i was in business i worked other jobs i did other things to support yeah people don't realize
00:06:33.000six years six years i ran the store from nine to and we were back in those days we were only open
00:06:39.640till seven o'clock because we weren't busy but nine to seven um and then it got to nine to nine
00:06:46.240and then i would go to the bar i would work at the bar um or uh do other things like things that i did
00:06:54.220to make money was i promoted concerts um i did odd jobs construction concrete shit that i could earn
00:07:01.780some money um to be able to keep the business open so that's very very very common and you should
00:07:09.940not believe the people on the internet who you know say go in all in on yourself today uh because you
00:07:16.180don't know shit bro like you really don't and you need to have some supplemental income coming in
00:07:22.740while you transition out of that uh first career to the second career as an entrepreneur second point
00:07:29.320here is you should make really sure that this is what you want to do because this is not easy it's
00:07:36.000not simple it's not quick the glory stories of entrepreneurship are the vast vast vast minority
00:07:43.720uh the truth of the matter is most people fail and most people fail because they expect like you said
00:07:52.200in your question for it to be much easier than it really is the disparity between what reality is in
00:07:58.680entrepreneurship and how it's presented online it's a million miles away and that's just reality so you
00:08:05.220have to ask yourself are you really willing to give everything to this and that means your early
00:08:13.300mornings that means your nights that means your weekends that means everything if you're not willing
00:08:18.640to give that entrepreneurship is not for you dude you will not win because there will always be people
00:08:24.340that are willing to do that and you at your skill set cannot compete with those people who are willing
00:08:29.800to do more and invest more of their time getting better than you will so a lot of people hear this
00:08:35.960idea of entrepreneurship as freedom it's not fucking freedom dude it's it's it's the furthest thing away
00:08:42.640from freedom you don't get your weekends you don't get your holidays you don't bro i didn't even
00:08:47.740come home for fucking probably three four years but maybe once a year i was living three and a half
00:08:54.140hours away for for christmas or you know you miss a lot and this is reality dude um and it's not talked
00:09:01.720about and the reason it's not talked about is because most of the people they're talking to you
00:09:05.400on the internet don't really have a real business if you dig into it so how would they know this right
00:09:10.500they're selling you ideas on how to build a real business when in reality they never built one
00:09:14.740so they don't tell you this shit because if they told you this shit they wouldn't be able to sell
00:09:18.560their shit all right so it's hard as fuck and you have to be real about what you're willing to give
00:09:24.920to it so that's the second point and um the third point is is that you should in the beginning go as long
00:09:32.500as possible without bringing in outside help uh unless it's technical help that is skill set that you
00:09:39.660don't know and in that case you should not bring them on full time you should pay them to do a
00:09:45.340specific job until you are pulling in enough revenue to justify a position that would in that
00:09:52.760situation that would be full time so that's my answer to that question you know it's three parts
00:09:56.980um my main thing here is is dude really be honest with yourself about what you're willing to give are
00:10:03.280you willing to give up your life for the next 10 fucking years to do this and if you're not you
00:10:07.740shouldn't do it yeah so i want to clarify you're saying that because it sounds like this person is
00:10:11.880basically like two years maybe he saved up a nest egg in the last two years and he's just trying to
00:10:16.600leave this and go straight i understand and you're saying it's better just make this more of a
00:10:20.960gradual yeah i understand he has a nest egg bro but like when you start opening a business and there's
00:10:26.160all these different expenses especially when business owners are inexperienced at marketing and
00:10:33.160advertising this is where they usually fuck up because they think that they can spend a whole
00:10:38.340bunch on marketing and that will bring them all kinds of business and they don't really understand
00:10:42.580that when you start to advertise or run ads or however you're going to do it it takes multiple
00:10:51.980impressions for people whether that's television whether that's radio whether that's print
00:10:56.440whether that's digital it takes multiple impressions um and if you go out and think that you're going to
00:11:06.440and this is just a fundamental reality of building a company from bootstrap level now now if you were
00:11:13.840able to get 200 million dollars and raise cash this is a different fucking story but i'm talking about
00:11:19.720this situation specifically the the way that that people mess up their businesses in the beginning
00:11:26.200is they think that they can go out and gather a thousand customers in one ad campaign and that's
00:11:32.900just not really how it works dude you need to be thinking about building your business literally one
00:11:38.600customer one relationship at a time because if you build it one customer at one relationship at a time
00:11:43.900you do a great job the exponential effect of that of gaining multiple customers is much quicker than
00:11:50.680you trying to go out and it's much more profitable than you trying to go out and get like a thousand
00:11:55.580customers with some big ad campaign because dude here's what happened that guy has this big nest egg
00:12:00.480and he goes out and he runs this ad right and it doesn't work and he's like okay the copy was wrong
00:12:05.540so he goes out and he runs another big campaign and it doesn't work okay the copy was wrong now they
00:12:11.100start saying you know he's running out of money right and because the problem really is they're
00:12:17.180not getting enough familiarity and they're not getting enough impressions to become uh intrigued
00:12:23.120enough or interested enough and you don't have the word of mouth out there working for you so it takes
00:12:27.780even longer all right so what these guys do is they go out they have a fundamental misunderstanding of
00:12:34.100how the business actually works they think they can blow their business up with ad campaigns
00:12:38.800and then what ends up happening is they don't work and then the reason they don't work they're
00:12:43.620completely missing they're they don't understand it takes all these impressions to get familiar
00:12:48.200and so they change their copy from here to here to here to here and they change their branding from
00:12:53.300here to here to here to here and what happens is the familiarity can't happen because they're not
00:12:58.460consistent in their fucking message or their brand so they suicide themselves by going through all
00:13:03.720their cash and that's that's what i'm trying to help this individual avoid yeah and i would i would
00:13:09.600also imagine too you know like you know when you guys for sure there's probably there were probably
00:13:14.300a bunch of like hidden costs that you didn't even know oh of course you know i'm saying like
00:13:19.220phone bills or bro you know i'm saying so it's like you're trying to put this money into a business
00:13:24.140at the same time you start figuring out how much tax they take from your business wait until you
00:13:28.360figure that out yeah that'd be a lesson for you yeah people think you know oh you buy this for
00:13:33.880nothing and sell it for a lot and you just fucking rolling in dough and dude you don't understand
00:13:38.780how hard they the government makes a business to actually scale if they actually remove the tax
00:13:44.700restrictions on businesses the economy would go fucking crazy but they don't want to do that because
00:13:49.880you know they want us to be suppressed because as people get wealthy they get more leverage they get
00:13:56.600more power and uh they don't like that yeah so yeah it's real shit man i love it let's get to
00:14:03.000question number two uh hey andy uh andy i just started a podcast and i've been doing it for almost a year
00:14:10.760now i post four episodes a month the problem is i'm not seeing any traction how long should i go on
00:14:18.940this before i call it quits i know the space is super competitive and i see other podcasts popping up
00:14:24.860and becoming overnight success why isn't this working for me because you probably suck
00:14:29.420you probably ain't good enough to do it okay like here's that's the answer the answer is
00:14:36.780the market dictates the result and if you're good the market responds and if you're not good the market
00:14:42.720does not respond and i would say that most likely if i'm guessing you probably haven't done anything
00:14:50.260or you don't have a crazy story to tell and you don't have lessons to tell and people are honestly
00:14:55.180tired of just these regular people having conversations with a microphone and fucking headphones
00:14:59.860everybody thinks they can podcast and everybody can podcast but having a successful podcast is pretty
00:15:06.100fucking rare it's the hardest platform to win at and uh it's not for everybody so you may not have
00:15:12.160the skill set to do it now could you develop the skill set to do it for sure but what i would
00:15:17.040recommend is that you go out in your life and you build something to be incredibly interesting
00:15:22.380around look at the guests that people have on shows they all have an interesting story what's your
00:15:27.320story what's your position of authority what are you an expert at what what why should people listen
00:15:33.340to you just because everybody has a microphone in their fucking social media and headphones bro it's
00:15:39.780it's become a joke real talk like if i like if i wish they would price microphones and
00:15:46.320headphones like like ten thousand dollars each just because dude like the shit's absurd everybody
00:15:52.000thinks that if they do a piece of fucking content with a microphone and a headphones they're going
00:15:56.140to get millions of views yeah dude it comes down to what you say it comes down to your message it
00:16:01.460comes down to how you deliver your message and it comes down to the credibility you have
00:16:04.740and so podcasting is very competitive and to be great at it you either got it you you got to have a
00:16:10.740great story you got to have done some real shit or you got to be really great at having
00:16:14.720conversations and you got to have a personality and um you know a lot of this stuff that we see
00:16:22.300online with podcast is you know it's gotten really hot um but you know yeah it's it doesn't get
00:16:31.360traction you know these guys are getting 30 40 listens on their podcast and that's okay if you're
00:16:36.600going to commit to it for 10 years i've been doing my shit for nine years dude you know what i'm saying
00:16:41.080rogan's been doing it for like 20 years all right you've been doing it for one right you know so
00:16:45.980you know it took me a hundred episodes to even get like kind of okay so i you know that's another
00:16:53.100thing if you do have the skills and you do have a story let's say you built a company i don't know
00:16:57.560if you did or didn't i don't know enough about it but if you did uh or you did something crazy
00:17:02.160or whatever your podcast is about um you know you may not have been doing it long enough
00:17:08.780you just may not yeah years not a long time no it's not and your skill set may not have developed
00:17:14.040like this is like anything else reps reps reps reps reps reps reps reps and you're going to get
00:17:18.080better and better and better and better and so if you're dedicated to it i would figure out how to
00:17:22.520become interesting and the easiest way to become interesting is to go out and build something in
00:17:27.260real life that people want to know how the fuck you did it or at least put you in a position to
00:17:32.120speak on things like i didn't just come on here and start giving fucking entrepreneur advice i had
00:17:38.060built shit before my you know my company was a hundred million dollar company before i ever did a
00:17:42.300fucking podcast you see what i'm saying you got some stuff to say yeah so like what the fuck are you
00:17:48.100doing what gives your fucking uh credibility and that's that's where that's what people miss bro
00:17:56.200just because you you think you got shit to say doesn't mean anybody's gonna listen to it unless
00:18:01.820it's really good shit it's like the guys that you see that are out there doing podcasts at a high
00:18:08.120level that people are listening to and they haven't like really built anything but their podcast
00:18:12.440they're fucking funny or they they are great at conversation or they're entertaining and they make
00:18:18.820people fucking laugh and they got personality and what i see is a bunch of you guys getting on there
00:18:23.360and going like this you got to work hard and be tough and it's like you got to do the thing yeah
00:18:33.480you got to do the work man and it's like yeah you might be saying similar shit yeah but the way you say
00:18:39.520it sucks you don't have it right like dude these are real variables yeah bro there's it's real and
00:18:46.180like dude you have at the end of the day you have to be good there's you're not entitled to a
00:18:52.400fucking top podcast bro you're not entitled to a successful business you're not entitled to a
00:18:58.080great fucking career you have to be good and it doesn't matter how much work you do if you don't
00:19:04.780develop the skill set so like you could do your podcast for 10 000 episodes the way you're doing
00:19:10.540it it probably never going to catch because you're not good yeah okay and that's maybe you are good
00:19:16.440maybe you're the fucking best ever i'm not trying to discourage you but you haven't been doing it long
00:19:21.020enough you need fucking story you need some unique competitive advantages that make you different
00:19:26.960and i would say another thing a lot of you guys are afraid to be authentic like you're really afraid
00:19:32.120of it like your best you is that that's the product like i don't come on here and pretend to be something
00:19:40.660else and i know some of you guys do because when you meet people that know me that they always tell me
00:19:45.460what you ask is he really like that yeah motherfucker i'm just like this in my life
00:19:50.480true or not true it's true is that true yes that i'm this is me you guys get me you don't get some
00:19:59.200fucking bullshit toned down version of me and i believe that's why a lot of you guys like to show
00:20:04.220so be authentic be who you are tell them tell people what it is like how what what do you really
00:20:10.800think you know what i'm saying like what do you really what do you really think man how do you
00:20:15.200really feel yeah you know and like just let it rip dude yeah let me ask you this because uh there
00:20:21.360was a part of this question and i'm curious as he you know because obviously you know you talk about
00:20:25.880like listen there is a journey this is going to be long you talk about how hard it's going to be
00:20:29.720yeah and and even still with that there is a possibility that it still may not work
00:20:34.480yeah right yeah but there's this concept this idea of this overnight success bro that's bullshit
00:20:40.920let's talk about it yeah this guy like what he said oh i see all these other podcasts like who
00:20:45.760who where's you know yeah there's exceptions bro there's like it looks like it looks like overnight
00:20:53.780success success okay but like busting with the boys will compton will compton has done a ton of shit
00:21:01.640and now he fucking finally got to a point where it's great and everybody loves it he's been doing
00:21:06.100it for years and years and years uh you know bobby althoff super popular okay you know why because
00:21:12.920it's unique the way she does it is unique okay it's nobody's doing it like that so it catches and she
00:21:18.780has amazing guests so you know dude what is your fucking unique selling proposition what what is that
00:21:25.800like what what are you who are you what do you think what do you say how are you different how are
00:21:30.800you different from the fucking millions of people that have bought a fucking microphone and sit on
00:21:35.760their fucking they make reels with their fucking headset on and it's probably not even plugged in
00:21:40.900and no shit and they're fucking doing fake like what makes you different than that and by the way
00:21:47.660stop doing that shit bro like find a new way to do it like real talk like a lot of you guys like
00:21:53.260the shit's overplayed man and i i know that sounds weird coming from me because every single
00:21:57.160fucking clip you see it we don't have headphones though dude
00:22:00.200every clip everybody's ever seen to me is the exact same i'm bitching about it
00:22:07.700i know i sound like an asshole but like i'm just being real man like i don't want you to waste all
00:22:12.300this time and never get anywhere you know what i mean yeah can you take us back to the first mfceo
00:22:17.480episode uh i mean what do you want what do you what do you want to know about like what were we
00:22:22.300like i mean like i mean the first episode it's terrible yeah it's fucking terrible it's terrible
00:22:28.720if i in fact that's why i leave up a lot of the old shows because i'm like you know what people
00:22:34.160should go back and listen to how bad i was you know what i mean yeah nine years ago yeah it's terrible
00:22:39.180dude yeah and that's the thing that's why i said it took a hundred episodes it took a hundred

00:23:43.480another thing you could do do to start start you know when you get good enough start having guests

00:23:54.120like just hold a show on their own you know what i mean it's not and they don't have to be famous
00:23:59.180they don't have to be they got to be interesting right you know what i mean all right i love it guys uh
00:24:05.740question number three our third and final question andy a little backstory i went to prison when i was
00:24:11.92018 years old a mix of poor decisions and surrounding myself with the wrong crowd anyways fast forward i
00:24:19.660get out as a 25 year old man by 30 i was a low-level manager at a demolition company that's when i found
00:24:27.400the mfceo podcast and eventually 75 heart i want to thank you personally because 75 heart changed my life
00:24:33.520dramatically i went from 60 000 a year low-level manager position to a project manager position
00:24:39.800shortly after my 75 heart journey making six figures now i am 33 years old and i've worked my
00:24:46.340way up to be part of the ownership group at the very same demo company i started that we've been
00:24:52.300around for 20 plus years and are currently an eight-figure business my question is how do i approach
00:24:58.220changing the culture at a business that has been doing things a certain way for so many years
00:25:03.320recently there's been some employee turnover all stating a quote toxic work environment that
00:25:10.460doesn't care about their employees personally i don't see this to be true but i want to help turn
00:25:16.500my company into the go-to place of employment for anyone that wants to work in the demo space i'd
00:25:21.840appreciate any advice you have for me for sure man first of all that's that's awesome dude like that's
00:25:28.140what it's about nobody's perfect people make mistakes people fuck up their lives the goal is
00:25:34.320to not fuck it up again the goal is to be better afterwards and so i just want to say that's awesome
00:25:39.540i respect the fuck out of that and i actually kind of respect that more than someone who never had to do
00:25:44.820that because like that's an incredibly difficult thing to go through um so congratulations short
00:25:50.160period of time yeah congratulations on that that's cool just make sure you don't go back
00:25:54.180yeah yeah so um so so yeah dude so like vince lombardi has a famous quote and it's very simple
00:26:03.800leading by example isn't the best way to lead it's the only way to lead and if you as an intrapreneur
00:26:11.140which is what you are uh would like to change the culture in your environment you have to start with
00:26:16.340yourself so you have to start behaving how you would like the culture to be and if you're having
00:26:21.480an environment where people are saying it's toxic that means you're going to have to correct to where
00:26:26.420it's positive and it's it's not that so you got to be the opposite of that and you have to assert
00:26:31.440yourself to build relationships with the people in your uh company to make them feel because i guarantee
00:26:39.360if you're having all these people say the same thing you probably got a real problem there even if you
00:26:43.580don't see it okay because it's a commonality dude so and by the way culture goes up and down culture
00:26:51.860culture once you set it in place doesn't always stay at a high level it goes up and down in proportion
00:26:59.880to how much effort you invest in it like everything else so if you want the culture to change dude you
00:27:05.840gotta you are gonna have to put in the work and you're gonna have to put in the work in a way that
00:27:09.900it's noticeable so what that means is you're gonna have to be fucking awesome you're gonna have to
00:27:14.280lead you're gonna have to coach these people you're gonna have to make them feel you know wanted and
00:27:19.160important and recognized and seen and eventually what will happen is your other partners in your
00:27:26.040in your group will say you know what's the guy's name to say don't say okay steve all right they're
00:27:31.320gonna say they're gonna say steve um what do you dude you're doing awesome man you're kicking ass
00:27:38.180blah blah blah and then what that what that's going to do is give you an opportunity to sit down with
00:27:42.300the guys and say all right guys look here's the deal i wanted to do this because we were getting
00:27:48.460this and this and this and i want to transfer form the company into the best place of employment that
00:27:53.760we can possibly be and to do that i've had to put in all this work and so what i'd like to do
00:27:59.700is to formalize a positive culture and i'd like to sit down with you guys and come up with uh you
00:28:06.000know a mission statement some core values and then really go through some leadership training together
00:28:10.740so that we can maintain this culture that i've got going because it will help us grow the business it
00:28:15.440will help us avoid turnover it will help us have more enjoyment and more fun doing what we do
00:28:20.840uh i don't know but blowing shit up sounds pretty awesome and tearing shit down i like that
00:28:24.740but the point is um you're gonna have to kind of build it on your own and then bring it to the
00:28:30.760other people uh you could always bring it to the other people and then get them all to build it but
00:28:35.980that's less of a convincing argument because they're not seeing what you've already done so like a lot of
00:28:42.100times mid-level leadership or you know even just not the main shot caller in the business will bring
00:28:49.160ideas to the main shot caller in the business and that will get shot down because there's nothing
00:28:55.240you can really see so the better you know like uh what's what's that saying it's better to ask for
00:29:01.560forgiveness than it is for permission yeah this is one of those situations where you want to go do it
00:29:06.120and then bring it okay because that way when they notice how great of a job you're doing you've already
00:29:12.200proven the concept to them and it's going to be easy to get their buy-in and then you can formalize
00:29:16.640the culture of the company i love that andy let me ask you this so so as as as a leader in an
00:29:22.620organization as even a shot caller or maybe you're just a high level executive whatever the case is
00:29:27.260when it comes to addressing issues or things that are being brought up how how exactly do you know
00:29:34.600when something needs to be addressed is it one employee saying like hey this might be a problem
00:29:38.440uh is it two or three right like like you mentioned like if you got a couple of employees saying that
00:29:42.740they feel like it's toxic okay well it probably might be an issue depends on how big your company
00:29:47.060is too okay like if you have you know 500 plus employees you're gonna have some buzzing that's
00:29:57.220not good all the time because you're dealing with people and people sometimes you know they become
00:30:02.780unhappy with their lives in some way and they start to feel like they need to change their lives
00:30:08.520and they actually end up blaming their career for their unhappiness when their unhappiness comes from
00:30:13.260other areas and then this is a big this is a lesson in the lesson yeah a lot of people fuck up their
00:30:18.400lives like this because they leave great careers because they're unhappy in other places and they blame
00:30:23.320their career and then they get outside that career and they're like fuck i fucked up okay so you need
00:30:29.500to make sure um that you understand that if you have a big number of employees you're always going to
00:30:36.240have a few people that are upset and it may not even be a real thing it might that's just the
00:30:42.060numbers game right um but you know when you when you start to have like if you have a smaller company
00:30:49.960and you have you know three or four people that are saying that it's probably a real thing yeah you
00:30:55.980know um and by the way when you have a big company and you do have only two or three people that
00:31:01.760doesn't mean ignore them because they might have very valid points uh so it's just important to
00:31:06.600listen it's important to judge those things i have a little thing that i teach my leaders uh and sal
00:31:11.500teaches his you know our leaders um there's a difference between bullshit and real shit don't
00:31:17.680ever bring me bullshit if someone's just bitching to bitch don't bring that shit to me real shit bring
00:31:24.260it to me or handle it right if you want to be really good handle it on your own uh but if you have to
00:31:29.860you bring it to us we fix it so those are you know that's a good rule to have what's bullshit
00:31:35.240and what's real shit and you need to become really good at figuring out which is which
00:31:39.480yeah i love it man yeah i love it well guys that was three all right guys let's have a great week
00:31:46.240don't be a hoe show the shop went from sleeping on the floor now my jewelry box froze fuck a boat
