people who have used mental toughness to uh become the recognized names that you uh know them for
00:02:39.200
so that's the the layout that's the lay of the land now we have this thing called the fee you're
00:02:44.820
going to notice something different about our show we don't run ads all right i finance this show right
00:02:49.920
out of my pocket and the reason i do that is because i don't want to listen to some corporate
00:02:54.820
fuck tell me what i can and can't say it's called real af not tell me what to say af all right so in
00:03:01.940
exchange for that i ask very simply that you please share the show we are constantly dealing
00:03:09.340
with censorship and shadow bans and traffic throttling because we talk about real subjects
00:03:16.400
here all right so if the show gives you value if it makes you better if it makes you think if it
00:03:22.480
gives you new perspective if you think it's worth listening to please do us a solid and share the show
00:03:28.600
if all of you just brought us one person for every episode that you listen to we'd be the biggest show
00:03:34.320
in the world and we'd be able to change the culture going on in society and make the world a better
00:03:38.500
place all right so don't be a hoe share the show right all right man hey what's up dude we're almost
00:03:47.600
at 500 000 on the tube man it's not bad for a year it's not too bad at all man it's been a grind
00:03:53.000
it's been a grind well i i mean if they weren't censoring the fuck out of us it would probably uh
00:03:59.100
would probably be way further than that yeah oh shit yeah fucking so fucks um pool update a lot of
00:04:06.420
people have been asking about the pool oh yeah yeah a lot of a lot of people well so when it rains
00:04:12.660
it pours that's the that's the saying uh yeah so i got it leveled uh or attempted to get it leveled
00:04:19.680
a day they had to take 14 inches on one side yep so it wasn't even close to it wasn't close it wasn't
00:04:27.060
close at all no it wasn't close 14 inches um and you know i called the the 811 you know the dig right
00:04:34.560
yeah trying to be a responsible homeowner um and they came out marked my shit up that's good
00:04:39.360
and we were in a good area right the pool's perfect spot so we thought yeah the guy uh and it's not his
00:04:47.940
fault i blame myself um but i got those uh i got that that in ground sprinkler system yeah just
00:04:53.940
destroyed one of the lines it was right there like right as soon as he went in all right so so
00:04:59.440
we have to have an intervention all right here i'm gonna tell you something you're running you're not
00:05:06.260
gonna like it okay but that pool was a fucking mistake you just need to take that pool and put it
00:05:14.220
the trash yeah it won't fit i'm gonna have to buy to get a dumpster to fucking you need to take you
00:05:20.040
need to take that pool and set it on fire okay all right and then you need to take grass seed and put
00:05:26.400
it in the spot that dan dug up yeah and forget all about it yeah just forget it yeah because this
00:05:32.040
started out as a 300 deal and i'm gonna tell you and anybody listening will tell you yeah that a pool
00:05:37.720
is never a 300 deal yeah fuck man all right it's kind of like a boat you rent boats you don't buy

00:08:35.620
like like hey oh and like horses and stuff hey hey all right that's enough of that let's make some
00:08:45.420
people better today yeah let's do that let's let's stick to what we're good at here not pools yeah um
00:08:50.960
guys andy question number one uh let's get it andy what's your take on the saying that a students are
00:08:58.500
led by b students managed by c students hired by d students i feel like there's a big common denominator
00:09:05.360
among business owners uh being these d students that they talk about so what's your what's your
00:09:11.440
thought process on that have you ever heard that saying yeah definitely um is there any validity to
00:09:16.060
it i don't know you know like here's if there is this is what it is okay i know guys who are very
00:09:24.380
successful in school and they're very successful business guys okay and we have to be careful just
00:09:31.720
like we talk about generalizing people we have to talk about generalizing types of people when it
00:09:36.440
comes to to business so i know people who are very successful that did very well in school i know
00:09:43.120
people who are very successful i'm one of them who was terrible in school here's where i think the
00:09:49.000
validity is in that statement is that typically people who are c students or d students it's not that
00:09:57.220
they're not intelligent it's that they pave their own way in life they make their own rules they're
00:10:02.120
not good at following directions and because they're not good at following directions they often find other
00:10:07.660
pathways that people don't see that are so used to just going down the line one two three following the
00:10:14.440
framework right and if we examine what the education system really is and we take a step back it is not
00:10:22.000
education it is indoctrination okay it doesn't make you intelligent to have a degree from any school
00:10:30.280
it does not education is not equal intelligence right okay so i mean educated people will tell you
00:10:38.460
that it equals intelligence but it clearly doesn't it just doesn't and they like to say that because
00:10:43.560
they invested all this money all this time and they like to have a moral superior order over everybody
00:10:48.380
else but it's just not true i know people that have phds that are fucking idiots okay um here's the
00:10:56.520
thing when you go out into entrepreneurship and you go out into business there is going to be
00:11:04.720
a way to do things that is usually outside the norm if you want to be successful it's how you innovate
00:11:11.440
processes how you not just products but how you innovate processes and how you innovate the delivery of a
00:11:17.240
product and how you innovate the marketing of a product and that requires you to see outside the framework
00:11:22.260
of what everybody else is doing and that's where i think the advantage is for those kind of students
00:11:27.320
because a lot of dnc students are dumb fucks okay but there's a lot of very intelligent dnc students
00:11:32.960
like i was who test very high on tests but i can't stand to sit here and learn from some dumbass
00:11:41.020
who's driving away in a beater like to me when i was 14 years old i recognized that right so i never
00:11:47.540
did good in school because i'm like bro why am i listening to this guy when he hasn't really done
00:11:52.460
anything but talk about the thing right and when we look at the education process you know it's really
00:12:00.700
a test and an indoctrination into following directions so that you understand how to operate
00:12:07.080
in the real world and most people need that most people have to be told one two three four five six
00:12:12.640
seven there's nothing wrong with that but when you think like that i think it does put you at a
00:12:18.880
disadvantage to be able to innovate processes innovate products innovate marketing innovate the competitive
00:12:24.920
advantage that you're going to need to create um so that's my take on it i don't think one way is
00:12:30.600
better than the other but if maybe maybe there is a little bit of truth to it uh there's definitely some
00:12:36.180
truth to it for me okay so go out and build something real go out and build something
00:12:40.980
equitable go out and build a real company go out and fucking use the tools that you can learn from
00:12:45.980
some of these coaches that are just part of the puzzle right like you can learn how to get fit you
00:12:50.880
can learn how to create a funnel you can learn how to run ads you can learn how to do these things
00:12:54.900
and then use those things to create an equitable business so that later on in life you have a
00:13:01.380
you know nest egg that you can you know borrow against or liquidate or exit and have something
00:13:10.400
for your retirement dude yeah so um you know vet your people vet your teachers you know if you're
00:13:16.920
in college and you're listening to some guy who's never done shit bro be very careful what you take
00:13:23.440
to heart and what you don't you know what i'm saying like people have to be living what it is
00:13:28.420
they're trying to teach you how to do if you really want to use their advice to go be successful
00:13:32.880
so uh to answer the question dude you know there might be some truth to it but i i know people who
00:13:39.660
are successful across all ranges there's just some people that are just good and super intelligent
00:13:44.800
and they're able to pass the test but they're also able to see outside the box right you see what
00:13:49.380
i'm saying so if you're a c or d student out here that's not something to celebrate and say fuck yeah
00:13:54.560
i'm gonna start a business yeah no what i'm saying is is like you got to be careful what you say because
00:13:59.360
a lot of these college kids and high school kids that listen to this shit they they will hear that and
00:14:05.080
then they will just quit trying like dude even if you think that it's pointless to do what it is that
00:14:12.920
you do in a standardized school environment it is very important that you try hard because that trying
00:14:18.980
hard and that practice and that discipline will translate over into something else so don't just
00:14:25.320
say hey fuck it this is pointless say hey i'm here i've got to complete this is what i have to do
00:14:30.520
i'm going to do my best because that will condition you to having the habits that you need outside of
00:14:36.540
that environment even though that environment is not producing the result that you want does that
00:14:40.160
make sense that makes perfect sense it makes perfect sense so let me follow up with this
00:14:43.240
so what are because i mean you know obviously with the school system it is more of a what to think
00:14:48.880
not how to think right which is what's really necessary yeah in the real world yeah now this
00:14:55.000
thinking outside the box you talk about the innovation side of things what what would you
00:14:58.260
say are some other common denominators amongst entrepreneurs like things that you've known i mean
00:15:04.040
you've met a shit ton of them right like i mean what are what are some things that you know all of you
00:15:08.120
guys you would say you had in common outside of the thinking outside of the box well i think first off
00:15:13.060
and foremost all successful entrepreneurs are unwilling 100% unwilling to accept the status
00:15:22.580
quo for their life all right they are not going to be like everybody else no matter what it takes
00:15:27.060
no matter what it takes doesn't matter that's the first thing the second thing is that they all have
00:15:33.020
big dreams they don't just think small they don't think realistic like when your teachers and your
00:15:37.540
friends say oh have realistic thoughts have realistic goals yeah if you want to be a
00:15:43.040
small little peasant that's a good thing but the all the people that you look up to that you want
00:15:48.440
to embody and you want to fucking be like those people are dreaming so big that most people can't
00:15:54.320
comprehend it and because they dream big the actions they take are naturally bigger which even if they
00:15:59.960
don't reach the actual dream that they have they will be so much further along than everybody else
00:16:05.780
that it's a success anyway so those are two things i think relentless grit and fortitude and endurance
00:16:13.640
mental toughness is 100 a requirement to get past uh you know the level of quote-unquote mediocre and
00:16:23.720
average so most of the people that you are successful dedicate an extreme amount of time to intentionally put
00:16:30.420
themselves in uncomfortable positions like the 75 hard and live hard program so that they can build
00:16:36.520
that resilience that grit that fortitude that mental toughness to get through the path because
00:16:41.240
the path only gets harder it never gets easier and that's a myth that people have people think oh once
00:16:46.240
i get here it'll be easier no the higher you go you're competing against better competitors and it gets
00:16:51.280
much fucking harder is it harder for michael jordan to play high school basketball or fucking pro basketball
00:16:55.840
right you see what i'm saying it gets harder so you have to build the skill set and you have to build
00:17:01.240
that mental toughness to go down the path effectively i think they have that in common uh i think most of
00:17:08.380
these people are highly dedicated to self-education meaning they're reading books they're listening to
00:17:14.940
podcasts they're taking notes but then what makes them different from everybody else that does those things
00:17:20.780
is that they actually take those lessons and apply them in real life so the application of the lessons
00:17:27.780
that all of you guys consume but most of you don't apply they do apply religiously so i think those are
00:17:34.320
some common things uh most of those guys are fit most people who are successful are somewhat fit uh and i
00:17:40.620
know there's exceptions to that you know when you look at like you know trump or fucking elon you know
00:17:46.000
they're not super fit guys but they're also so far past the point of like that initial grind phase
00:17:52.760
that it's not really that important anymore to them you know what i'm saying and i think they're the
00:17:59.000
anomaly most entrepreneurs that are successful in this day and age are taking very good care of their
00:18:06.740
bodies and their minds on a consistent basis um why is that yeah because it's it's your tool this is the
00:18:13.680
fucking tool bro your tool is you so if you're going to battle with this being your tool don't
00:18:18.520
you want this tool to be the best possible thing your mind your body your spirit these are the these
00:18:24.020
are tools bro so they sharpen that i think another thing that a lot of these guys have in common
00:18:29.640
is that uh they don't keep losers around them for any amount of time bro they don't allow drama in
00:18:35.360
their life they don't allow gossip in their life they don't allow people who drama and gossip in their
00:18:39.640
life they don't allow distractions their circle is small they associate with other people who think
00:18:44.220
like them who have goals like them who want to win like them and they cut everybody else out they're
00:18:48.720
very hard to get to um so those are some things that i would say are in common there's a lot more to you
00:18:53.520
but those are off the top of my head yeah for sure man i love it i love it uh well guys andy question
00:18:58.220
number two uh andy i'm 16 years old uh and my question is about motivation and success what have you
00:19:06.060
found to be the best form of motivation for achieving success i see other people winning
00:19:11.920
but i sometimes look at my environment and i can't connect the dots on how to make that a reality in
00:19:17.740
my life how the fuck can you look at your situation that you're currently living and not be fucking
00:19:22.520
motivated if you can't look around at your current life and say fuck this sucks and be motivated for
00:19:28.840
more bro you can't do it you should just quit go do something else because your existing situation
00:19:35.820
in life should be enough motivation to get you started now motivation when you start is cool
00:19:44.040
right it feels good but the reality is is motivation is not the key to the castle bro discipline is the
00:19:50.740
key to the castle because there's going to be lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of times in fact
00:19:55.240
the majority of the time that you are not going to wake up in the morning and say fuck dude i really
00:19:59.700
feel like going out and get my balls kicked in all day that's not going to happen so you have to say
00:20:04.220
hey i'm going to do this regardless of how i feel i'm going to execute even if i'm having a bad day even
00:20:09.500
if my dog died even if i had to do this even if this shit's going wrong my shit is getting done day in
00:20:15.220
and day out and that is the fucking secret sauce about winning it's not motivation but motivation feels
00:20:22.180
good and motivation is valuable especially when you're in the beginning so if you can't look
00:20:27.140
around and say fuck dude my life is fucked up i want way more than this i want better than this
00:20:32.940
and be motivated to go down the path bro you don't have it you don't have it that's it you do not
00:20:38.940
fucking have it you should just accept your reality like all your friends all your family go sit on the
00:20:45.680
fucking bench and watch the game where everybody else is going to go out and kick ass because you don't
00:20:50.060
have it if your current situation doesn't motivate you that's the fucking facts of the matter
00:20:54.480
why do so many people look for external motivation like what do you what do you think the disconnect
00:20:59.920
is well there's a fucking you know in society bro there's an there is a disproportionate amount
00:21:08.320
of value placed on motivation compared to discipline people think that it's motivation they think oh dude
00:21:15.740
let's go do this right and they don't understand that it doesn't matter if you feel like doing it
00:21:21.000
what matters is that you do it and that's the biggest key that most people can't connect because
00:21:26.000
dude we hear this term motivational speaker okay so this is why i don't like speaking really dude even
00:21:32.180
though i'm great at it you know you go to this event you pay fucking 500 bucks the motherfucker tells
00:21:37.820
you some shit you walk out of there you're hyped and you go home and you don't do anything
00:21:41.940
okay so events are great but you should go to events where they're going to teach you one twos
00:21:47.420
threes fours these are the steps to do it because if you don't have that intrinsic motivation
00:21:52.300
to do it to at least get started you can't start so that's assumed that you have that right and then
00:22:00.740
you have to work on your discipline you have to work on your ability to execute when you don't feel
00:22:04.280
like doing it and that's why the live hard program is so important um you know i don't know a single
00:22:10.880
person who wakes up every single day and says fuck dude i can't wait i can't wait to go you know get
00:22:18.140
my ass kicked like because that's the reality of entrepreneurship it sounds absurd right i can't
00:22:23.360
wait to go it's just life dude it's life bro yeah it's life it's hard it's fucking grind it's grueling
00:22:30.860
and because we have all these entrepreneur bozos on the fucking internet who never built a goddamn thing
00:22:36.660
talking about you know how easy it is and how cool it is and how it's awesome you're getting all these
00:22:42.600
kids sucked into this game of entrepreneurship when in reality only eight percent of people are
00:22:47.900
entrepreneurs and only one percent of that eight percent is actually successful at it it is a very
00:22:52.380
hard career it is the hardest career you could ever choose in your fucking life so if you think it's
00:22:56.860
going to be easy fun and you're going to have freedom and all this shit you're drinking the kool-aid
00:23:01.140
that ain't true you're in for a rude awakening the shit i tell you and the shit anybody else who's built
00:23:05.880
something real will tell you is that you have to fucking go hard every single day no matter what
00:23:11.880
no matter what you feel like no matter what's going wrong and your shit has to get done and that's it
00:23:16.000
that's how you get there so i don't really you know motivation for me dude is not a thing anymore
00:23:23.020
i don't even think about it i don't i don't wake up and think man i don't feel like doing that
00:23:27.320
or whatever because it's irrelevant and once you've lived a disciplined lifestyle for long enough
00:23:32.080
motivation does become irrelevant and it's almost comical when people bring it up like bro that's
00:23:37.460
very amateur way of thinking and i don't fault you for thinking that way because that's how everybody
00:23:42.260
thinks but what we have to do is we have to shift your mindset from it from i gotta feel like doing
00:23:48.900
it to it doesn't matter if i feel like doing it i'm gonna get it done anyway and that's what winners
00:23:53.700
do that's how people build amazing shit that's how they become great and that's how you it's gonna be
00:23:58.960
no different for you yeah so you're saying it's so so using motivation or feeling the need
00:24:03.500
to need motivation that'll get you going a decent amount but at some point you gotta you gotta cross
00:24:09.600
that line over to to this other animal mindset of of it doesn't matter how i feel what's your life
00:24:15.320
gonna look like if you don't do it what's your life gonna look like if you don't fucking go out
00:24:20.900
and build what the fuck you want to build that you have this little vision in your heart
00:24:24.940
and in your mind of what your life should be like and what are you gonna feel like if you don't go
00:24:31.040
do that what are you gonna feel like in a year five years 10 years 20 years when you die what are you
00:24:38.780
going to be saying because i can promise you bro that dream ain't going away that dream was placed
00:24:43.620
in your heart and in your mind by god it is your purpose and you are obligated to go build it and for
00:24:51.020
you to go build that it's going to require executing when you don't fucking feel like it
00:24:55.420
so you better just go out and figure this out right now it's discipline it's not motivation look
00:25:01.100
around your life if if you can't go from looking around your life then just expect your life to get
00:25:07.920
worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and in 20 years you're gonna be saying fuck i should
00:25:12.700
have fucking went i should have went and did that and 20 more years past that if you don't do it then
00:25:17.880
you're gonna be saying fuck i wasted 40 years i wasted my life fuck that's what's gonna be that's
00:25:24.180
gonna happen to you go ask someone who's 60 years old if they regret not following their dreams i
00:25:29.340
promise you if you get them to be honest they're gonna say yeah yeah fuck man that's real shit man
00:25:36.220
i know it's real shit bro that's where most of these people fucking fuck their lives up yeah they think
00:25:41.100
like you gotta feel like bro i walk in here every fucking day probably out of the seven days a week
00:25:47.640
that i come in here there's probably two of the days that i feel like it and i have the greatest
00:25:52.460
fucking company in the world bro i work with the baddest ass people i don't work with a bunch of
00:25:56.760
karen corporate fucks i work with badass motherfuckers that give a shit yeah and it's still hard because
00:26:03.400
our goals are so big okay so it doesn't matter if i fucking and i'm tired or if i don't feel like it
00:26:11.920
bro i have to do it and so like dude you guys have to quit valuing this thing that all these nerds on
00:26:18.360
the internet call motivation and start realizing what actually matters and what matters is do you
00:26:23.660
have the capacity to execute at a high standard when you don't feel like it especially when you
00:26:30.280
don't feel like it because when you don't feel like it is when everybody else quits and that's when
00:26:36.420
you widen the gap between yourself and everybody else so let's say those four days where i don't
00:26:41.620
feel like it i'm competing against joe down the street and when he comes in on his four days that
00:26:47.480
he doesn't feel like it he does half-ass shit but on my four days i'm executing at the highest level
00:26:53.160
because i've developed that skill set of discipline to do so over time i'm going to widen that gap
00:26:59.420
further and further and further and further and further and further away from that dude and this is how the
00:27:05.340
game works it is legitimately a mathematical equation how many days did you win how many days did they
00:27:13.700
win that's it it's math bro it's not magic it's not mystical it's not success fairy nonsense it's not
00:27:21.360
luck it is fucking math how many motherfucking days can you win at a high standard especially when you
00:27:28.920
don't feel like it because that's when everybody else quits you know i fucking love it man i love it
00:27:34.800
guys andy our third and final question question number three andy andy i have been grinding for
00:27:41.840
the last five years and i'm about to purchase my first really nice car um i've been working my ass
00:27:48.340
off my family's good kicking ass at work my question is how do i know if it's the right thing uh is it just
00:27:55.360
an emotional purchase i've been putting off going to the dealer for three days now i can't really pinpoint
00:28:01.320
why did you deal with this when you bought your first uh nice car and if so how did you overcome
00:28:06.180
it well first of all i didn't buy my nice car until i was 11 years in business not five all right i don't
00:28:12.380
know where the fuck you are but i was doing very well i was making seven figures when i bought my first
00:28:16.800
nice car okay so there's that okay um so let's let's reevaluate where you're actually at are you making
00:28:25.180
over a million dollars a year in income because if not i wouldn't buy shit and i would take all that
00:28:30.700
money and i would dedicate it to building your cash flow building your company building your career
00:28:35.360
because every single fucking dollar that you don't do that with is more time that it's going to take
00:28:40.380
for you to get there okay so where are you really at do you want to buy this car because you think it's
00:28:47.060
going to make you look successful or do you want to buy this car because you're a car aficionado
00:28:52.000
and you're passionate and it's something that you love that's what i am okay i don't buy i don't even
00:28:57.800
show you guys my fucking shit okay i love cars i love driving it is important hobby to me it just so
00:29:06.240
happens to be expensive so but the truth of the matter is is when i bought my first car i was making
00:29:13.420
over a million bucks a year i was 11 years in business and you guys see all this bullshit on the
00:29:18.420
internet and you think you need to have this shit and i know this is the answer that you
00:29:21.980
probably don't want to hear but this is definitely one perspective now another perspective which is
00:29:27.640
also true is that you need to touch and feel and experience success along the way to keep you
00:29:35.000
going to keep you understanding that this is how my life is going to turn out and it needs you need
00:29:40.020
to touch it you need to experience it now you don't necessarily have to buy a car for that you can
00:29:44.680
rent a car you could go on a trip you can go see the houses whatever you want to do but there is
00:29:50.420
truth to experiencing that but this fake it till you make it mentality that the internet creates
00:29:55.900
is completely false uh these kids that go out there and buy these cars and they're fronting this
00:30:01.640
shit it's only a matter of time before they don't have them anymore i mean dude i've been doing the
00:30:06.400
internet game since 2012 you know how many people i've seen come and go with a fucking you know a
00:30:11.880
couple cars and then they're bragging and they're talking all this shit in the next year they don't have
00:30:15.780
shit they're talking about you know what they're doing you know what they say you know what i decided
00:30:21.580
that you know these cars are just too materialistic for me and i'm kind of over it you know i just want
00:30:27.740
to be uh be a little more humble and other things are more important to me just like i talked about
00:30:32.980
on last q and a f where i talk about people who take their dreams and they take what they have
00:30:38.900
currently and then they try to say oh this is what i actually wanted right so usually what these guys do
00:30:44.520
is they go out they buy these cars they front on the internet they stop making money they lose their
00:30:49.840
cars and then they come up with a fucking story about how they never wanted them in the first place
00:30:53.660
which is completely fucking bullshit much happier now you don't want to be the motherfucker that gets
00:30:58.180
the cars and then has them disappear you don't want to be that guy bro so i would evaluate what's
00:31:04.200
more important to you is it more important to feel cool and look cool or is it more important to
00:31:08.140
build an actual business i would argue that it's way more important to build an actual business now
00:31:12.600
you might be making 10 million dollars a year and i don't know that no and if you if you are
00:31:16.500
you know there you got a little more freedom to indulge in things like that no um you know there
00:31:21.600
are there are guys out here who will say you know you should never buy a car that's worth more than
00:31:27.440
fucking 20 grand or whatever right well you know i disagree with that you know that's what it is
00:31:33.620
like why the fuck do we do all this shit right why the fuck have i worked 25 years oh it's so i can
00:31:38.900
fucking roll around and badass shit that i enjoy but have you paid your dues yet that's only question
00:31:46.140
that's a question that only you can answer yeah so i would evaluate where you are be honest with
00:31:50.440
yourself about where you are um be honest with yourself about your income and if you've got to
00:31:55.760
stretch and finance that shit out just to like dude don't do that don't put yourself in a vulnerable
00:32:00.220
position especially in the early days and i know you're five years in you think you're not in the
00:32:04.160
early days you're still in the fucking early days bro so that's my answer to that yeah let's just
00:32:09.200
talk about rewarding yourself in general right like what what have you found to be the best way
00:32:14.140
like how do you reward yourself for for the hard work you put in you know when you when you've been
00:32:19.860
planting for for so long and you start seeing those those those sprouts come up a little bit right
00:32:25.040
what's the reward the reward is seeing the progress the reward is looking at your business and
00:32:30.380
saying oh man i did 14 000 today oh man i did 32 000 today oh man we did 80 000 oh we did 200 000 oh
00:32:40.820
we did 5 million in that you see what i'm saying yeah that's the fucking reward bro because that
00:32:46.720
business is equitable meaning you can borrow against it you could sell it you could exit it
00:32:51.720
and it's worth exponentially more than what you're going to take home and payroll so that is the winning
00:32:57.520
for the actual winners the actual operators who love business the reward is the winning all the
00:33:04.680
other shit doesn't mean anything bro i could really like as much as i love cars i don't give a fuck you
00:33:09.480
know what i'm saying like as much as i love my house and my properties i don't give a fuck i like
00:33:14.360
winning winning is fun i like seeing things go from my ideas to paper to in person in life and sprout
00:33:22.180
and create and win that battle that's that's the reward bro and you guys get caught up in this and
00:33:27.900
by the way i like material shit but you guys do get too caught up in this materialistic shit and
00:33:33.620
you don't understand that the game is not about how much material shit you can acquire it's about how
00:33:39.000
much progress you can make so instead of building your value and what you can acquire what you can buy
00:33:44.700
or what you your perceived lifestyle is you should build your value on what your real success is and
00:33:50.020
what your real progress is otherwise you're going to end up like one of these fucking clowns who has
00:33:53.460
this shit for a minute and then doesn't have it and then like you know what you're all afraid of is
00:33:58.280
getting laughed at then everybody laughs at you everybody yeah so don't be that guy all right well
00:34:03.580
some uh some extra sauce for this give them some some extra extra sauce for monday morning juicy juice
00:34:09.200
yeah let's do it guys i had a question number four uh what's up andy and dj i got a question uh for you
00:34:14.840
all that i've been noticing in my work environment i'm 24 years old not a hoe um i work as a junior
00:34:21.840
senior high school math teacher and i'm also the dean of students uh of the junior senior high school
00:34:27.820
damn uh yeah that's fucking crazy that's a young man that's super young you know one of my best
00:34:32.600
teachers i had was young when i had him was super young yeah his name was i talked about him on a show
00:34:37.140
before kevin walsh all my teachers are old yeah he's he's uh luke walsh's dad you know the basketball
00:34:42.060
player oh no shit yeah so kevin taught us uh he had this class called current issues which is the
00:34:50.400
inspiration for what we do now right and bro we we man i'm sorry kevin i love that dude he's such a
00:34:59.940
good dude but we were such little fucks like i'm surprised he didn't beat our asses but dude hey i
00:35:05.580
took what you taught we're doing something with it bro number one show right hey there we go appreciate
00:35:09.200
it there we go but yeah dude uh that's a that's a young man that's young man um now since i'm on the
00:35:16.020
administrative team at the school school culture is super important to me one of the things that i've
00:35:21.000
started to notice with my boss the school principal uh and the veteran teachers is that most of them
00:35:26.660
will take the initiative to get something done which is great however 90 of the time they will not
00:35:32.920
relay or communicate that information with the parties involved causing mass confusion between staff
00:35:38.560
members and even myself my question is when you take the initiative on something that will involve
00:35:43.600
multiple people and multiple parties what is the most effective way you have found to communicate
00:35:48.960
that with them i'm all about taking the initiative on things that i know and i know that's one of your
00:35:53.580
core values and beliefs within your own businesses but from what i am seeing is that pieces on the chess
00:35:58.980
board are moving without any explanation as to why they are moving i understand i'm very young to be in the
00:36:04.560
leadership position like this um i have a lot to learn but am i looking at this from the wrong
00:36:09.360
perspective or is there a true issue here uh interested to hear your thoughts well first of all man you
00:36:16.080
know let me say this leadership is a lifelong learning process so you're gonna you're gonna be getting
00:36:22.320
better even when you're 44 okay um i feel like i learn new things every single day and i've been leading
00:36:28.380
big teams for a long time and this is probably the first time that you've led a big team and so
00:36:34.740
communication is a huge deal huge deal um to set the standard for communication at least in the
00:36:44.080
beginning you almost have to have a micromanagement role you have to basically say this is what i need
00:36:51.140
this is what i want you to do and back in the early days when i was setting this up
00:36:57.160
i'd actually write this shit out on a piece of paper and make them sign it so yeah so like i would
00:37:03.920
say okay here's what you want here's the process all right so i used to do this thing i don't do it
00:37:08.440
anymore where if i sent out a group text to everybody they had to reply back um that they they confirmed it
00:37:16.160
they received it and they understood it and that was so that later on if they didn't do it i could
00:37:21.040
say well hey you replied back to this you said this right so like that would be the process that was in
00:37:26.300
the paper i would say all right here's how we're going to dictate directions here's how we're going
00:37:30.760
to do things here's the process for this if i text you this is what the response should be if you
00:37:36.020
understand it if you don't understand it text me on the side ask me the question we'll figure it out
00:37:40.900
um so really dude in in my opinion i think this is a matter of getting you know all the
00:37:47.660
gray beards and the old dogs to really understand how you're going to run things which is just going
00:37:53.540
to require some clear communication and some assertiveness on your point which can be
00:37:57.640
intimidating when everybody else is much older than you you know when i was in my 30s or i'm in my
00:38:02.140
20s i had a lot of people that worked that were older than me and um that was a unique situation
00:38:07.560
because for some reason people think that if they're older than you they're automatically more
00:38:11.520
skilled or talented than you uh and that's just not the case so that's what i would do i would
00:38:19.020
take a piece of paper i would say this is how i want it to flow and i would sit down with all of
00:38:23.380
your people and i would say okay i'm trying like you know you're you're let's say the the lady who's
00:38:29.200
60 years old who's been there for 30 years right sit down with her and say hey mary look i'm trying
00:38:35.640
to get everybody coordinated so that we aren't just moving chess pieces all over the board and
00:38:39.960
we've got a cohesive movement that we're trying to create for these kids so that everybody can get
00:38:44.380
what we need them to get and right now here's what's happening certain people are doing it this
00:38:49.200
way certain people are doing it this way and it makes everything not work your job's not working
00:38:53.200
my job's not working so i've come up with this little solution on how to get everybody on the same
00:38:58.520
page and this is what it's going to look like and you line it out on the piece of paper
00:39:03.480
and you're going to say then you're going to show it to her and you're going to say now do you have
00:39:06.660
any feedback for that or anything you think and this is in a private setting right not because if
00:39:11.020
you start this in a public setting it'll start all the chirping or be like i think this i think that
00:39:15.300
can't run shit by committee okay it's if you run a team and you're fucking running it by committee
00:39:21.940
you're gonna fucking lose you will you will end up with such vanilla bullshit this is why most
00:39:26.980
companies end up getting bad in the beginning they're run by a founder they're run by a close-knit group
00:39:31.980
of team then they get bigger and they get all these corporate fucks involved in their company
00:39:36.440
and then they sit around a table and they eliminate everything cool to be safe and it ends up with a
00:39:42.060
vanilla product vanilla marketing vanilla fucking processes and then you end up losing so sit down
00:39:47.820
with mary go through the list ask her for her feedback say hey this is what do you think where
00:39:53.940
can we improve and i would go to the people that you trust the most first all right go to the people
00:39:58.620
who you know are going to have good ideas and tell you the truth first because they're likely
00:40:03.520
going to point out the holes in your processes quick that way when you go to the lesser trusted
00:40:09.480
employees or the lesser bought-in employees uh the teachers they will they will those holes will be
00:40:14.900
covered so they'll be less uh static there you know what i'm saying and then you sit down with her
00:40:20.780
and you say okay uh so this is what i expect i'm gonna have you sign this and i'm gonna have
00:40:24.940
everybody sign it uh that way we're all on the same page and your great teachers your great employees
00:40:29.400
are gonna say fuck thank god i'm so tired of this shit being all over the place most employees are
00:40:35.300
in this case teachers they love clear-cut communication there is nothing worse than
00:40:42.060
wondering what the fuck is going on okay everybody here has been an employee at some time do you guys
00:40:48.000
not hate that because i fucking hated it i want to know what the fuck is going on and i want to know
00:40:52.140
exactly what to do and not only do i want to know exactly what to do i want to know exactly what to
00:40:56.420
do so that i'm valued so that i can move up in my career all right so you as a young man you need
00:41:02.160
to realize that most people crave clear concise leadership and by you sitting down and doing this
00:41:08.020
you're going to build that framework for your team and yeah you're going to have some kickback
00:41:11.880
and yeah you're going to have some mistakes but you address those individually as they happen okay
00:41:16.980
so like let's say you you sign these contracts and everybody fucking goes out and starts to do it
00:41:22.080
and then you got one guy who's a problem you don't take the whole team and be like you guys
00:41:25.840
aren't fucking doing this i used to do that when i was younger and it was the wrong move
00:41:29.760
you hit because then it makes an issue for everybody so you go over to steve over here who's
00:41:34.580
stuck in the old ways you say steve you sign this contract bro this is what i expect this is what
00:41:41.060
we're gonna do and if you can't do that i'm gonna have to let you go or you're you know you're gonna
00:41:46.720
have to go somewhere else yeah and you know he'll either get in line or he won't and if he doesn't
00:41:51.180
that's okay just find somebody that will and by the way when you bring new people into a culture that
00:41:56.140
already exists in the system that already exists there's no pushback because that's just the way
00:42:00.560
that it always was so after a while this just becomes the way and you don't have to do this
00:42:06.460
formality of actually setting the framework does that make sense okay i love it i fucking love it
00:42:17.000
went from sleeping on the floor now my jewelry box froze fuck a bowl fuck a stove counted millions
00:42:24.180
in the cold bad bitch booted slow got her on bank road can't fold doesn't know headshot case close
