00:01:37.860 things i do and and you've been one of my favorite guys that i've met along the way and i just want

00:01:42.400 people to know who you are so kind of give them the the little info if you will for sure so i'm 29 years

00:01:48.340 old i'm originally from new york i i grew up in new york and moved to austin texas two years ago

00:01:54.720 i started a podcast four years ago and the reason why i started the podcast was because i started having

00:02:01.680 amazing phone conversations with people who all around the world were people who were people i wanted

00:02:09.160 to learn from and people i was excited by and i was like i got to record these conversations just

00:02:13.820 conversations with friends and that led to me recording them originally just zoom calls and

00:02:20.320 skype calls and it led to me flying out to st louis to be here and you know in this moment this season

00:02:27.720 of my life i'm less fired up about podcasting than i am about coaching and helping people mentally perform

00:02:36.140 at their peak because i've realized the podcast is an amazing vehicle for helping people um and growing

00:02:44.560 my myself and helping others but helping people one-on-one is a different level of excitement and uh

00:02:53.460 i'm just blessed to be here in this moment and i have to thank 75 hard for bringing it all to happen

00:02:59.460 and making it all happen so thank you so what's your podcast tell everybody about it because i want

00:03:03.820 them to check it out yeah the danny miranda podcast i interview entrepreneurs like yourself

00:03:08.620 uh high performers people who are getting shit done in the world and i am you know so blessed to be

00:03:16.360 able to do deep research on people to really help them and help them i want to know more about somebody

00:03:23.320 than they their significant other knows about them and so that's how i've kind of separated myself

00:03:28.500 in the whole process you mentioned it was one of your favorite absolutely the the reason why

00:03:33.080 is because i did more research on you than anyone who interviewed you yeah i believe that i listened

00:03:38.740 to must have been 30 40 50 hours of you in addition to being a fan of real af in addition to listening to

00:03:45.000 mf ceo for years and so of course you're gonna have the best experience and so i think 75 hard

00:03:50.440 really drill this home in me you want to be better than most people just do more work

00:03:54.860 right it's simple but how often is are people actually executing on that it's rare yeah it is

00:04:02.360 so dude let's get right to it man um how'd you hear about 75 hard what made you decide to go after

00:04:09.120 it and uh let's talk about that sure so the first time i heard of it was september 15th

00:04:18.160 2019 and i had just quit a job that was paying me ten thousand dollars a month i could do it from

00:04:28.140 anywhere i was living in san diego life was great except i hated my life and the reason why i hated

00:04:34.940 it was because the job was easy it wasn't in line with what i actually care about and i knew i needed

00:04:43.100 to change something so i stopped the job i quit the job cold turkey and was like i'm gonna find a

00:04:49.500 better way and then a week later 75 hard comes on my radar i have no idea how but i looked at the five

00:04:56.440 tasks or six with the second workout and i was like that's it that's something that i need to do

00:05:01.580 and that's something that if i do i know i will be in a different place and so it started because i was

00:05:08.100 in such a depressed state so bad and i didn't believe i could do what i said i was going to do

00:05:13.460 and so 75 hard was found i found it early on right yeah it's been you've been talking about it yeah i

00:05:21.880 mean since the beginning yeah so uh i i did the i i committed that that night that i found it i was

00:05:29.620 like i'm starting tomorrow i told my buddy that i was doing it he said he would do it i told my other

00:05:34.800 buddy that i was doing and together i just saw my life transformed day by day brick by brick

00:05:41.640 and by the middle of the program i'm a completely different human being my friends are texting me

00:05:47.060 like dude what are you doing like i notice in how you're showing up in the world it's so much

00:05:53.120 different and i knew that i was becoming a different person i was becoming somebody who could

00:05:57.640 do what they said they were going to do and finish what they started which is a huge huge i think that's

00:06:03.980 everything dude i think that's i think most everybody knows what they should do in the areas

00:06:10.200 that are weak in their life right like we all know if we're a little overweight we got to get in shape

00:06:14.100 we all know if our bank account's not right we need to make some more money we all know if we're

00:06:18.620 not the best friend or the best human we need to improve we know what to do the problem is we have

00:06:24.660 problems doing it and um i think that's the what you're talking about there you know the ability to

00:06:31.660 finish things the ability to fulfill the obligation that you make to yourself when you say i'm going to

00:06:39.500 do this thing i really think that's most of the people out there's problem i do not think the problem

00:06:46.040 is that they don't know what to do um i mean what do you think i think you're absolutely right yeah

00:06:51.940 and i know that 75 hard was the most difficult thing i had ever done in my life at that point i

00:06:59.620 was 25 years old or 24 years old and i'm the fact that i could actually that what's so amazing about

00:07:07.800 the program is that 75 days seems like a long time but by the time you do the first you complete one

00:07:15.900 day if you can complete one day you have showed yourself that you could actually do what you said you

00:07:21.620 were going to do in that day and guess what every day is day one that's right i love tim grover

00:07:25.980 one on everything that's it and it's like if you just do that one day and complete that one day you've

00:07:32.000 proved to yourself that you can do what you say you're going to do yep so just do it again yep dude

00:07:35.900 i think that's such that's the most simple way to describe high levels of achievement every single

00:07:43.360 person listening right now has the ability to be a high achiever they think it requires this

00:07:49.080 complex algorithm of you know the stars aligning and being born in the right place under the right

00:07:55.680 kind of moon you know and having the right parents or the right this or the right that when in reality

00:08:01.000 dude it's very simple okay if you can muster up the will and the drive and the discipline to make it

00:08:07.900 through one single day that's one day and every single one of you listening can do that

00:08:13.220 there is no reason that you can't do it again tomorrow and again the next day so if you can make

00:08:19.300 it through one day dude you can win your whole life and i think when we break it down and make

00:08:23.680 it that simple it really resonates with people because you know we see all these i guess you know

00:08:29.880 for lack of a better term just misrepresentations of what success is about you know we're told by our

00:08:36.140 parents that you got to be lucky or we're told by you know our teachers that you know you're not getting

00:08:41.500 good enough grades or we're told by all these people that are supposed to encourage us and help

00:08:45.980 us and make us better that there's all these reasons why we're not who we want to be or why

00:08:52.480 we can't be who we want to be when in reality dude if you can make it through one day you can make it

00:08:57.580 through your life and and that's what the program's designed to really help people understand um

00:09:03.140 and i think i think most people that do the program right it sticks and i think that's the power of

00:09:09.960 the program you know what i'm saying uh when you started the first time i mean did you expect

00:09:15.400 the results that you got did it make sense to you when you first started because a lot of people

00:09:19.920 when they start they're like i don't understand the point of all these things and they kind of

00:09:24.500 don't get it i mean how did you feel when you first started versus how you felt when you first

00:09:29.560 finished the first time yeah i i knew that i was doing most of the tasks on 75 hard i just wasn't

00:09:36.620 doing them consistently and so i knew if i stack these together day by day by day brick by brick

00:09:41.720 i'm going to be a different person just by virtue of the fact that i i can actually do what i say i'm

00:09:46.780 going to do so i knew it would be impactful from the first day i knew there was not a shadow of a

00:09:53.040 doubt because i knew i was already doing them yeah and so it was a no-brainer for me in terms of

00:09:59.320 committing to it it was a no-brainer because i knew i would see the benefits

00:10:02.820 and i did and what was so interesting was i was reviewing my notes today of my notes that i took

00:10:09.560 the first time around i could feel the first time that i almost quit or almost i'm not going to do

00:10:18.160 this or wow this was a challenging day and then i could feel another day you know the first one was

00:10:23.880 24 days in i'm waking up at 11 30 a.m and i'm like i haven't done any of my stuff and and then the

00:10:30.060 next time is day day 50 where i get food poisoning and the difference between day 24 and day 50

00:10:37.480 is like i still complete my workout day 50 day 24 i figured out a way but those days i realized all 0.91

00:10:44.320 my excuses were such bullshit yeah you realize it's like you realize you're just lying to yourself and 0.80

00:10:51.080 so but it's cool to have those days where you might quit or that you could give yourself an out 0.99

00:10:56.680 those are the most important days because those are the days when you gain the most strength

00:11:00.340 those are the days when you sell yourself on the idea and you realize that wait a minute

00:11:05.240 just because i had a bad moment doesn't mean i have to have a bad day that's it right like a lot

00:11:10.920 of people will take a bad interaction or a bad conversation or some bad news and they will make

00:11:17.280 it a spread across their whole day when in reality dude it's just a bad moment like it's a moment in

00:11:22.600 time and if you pick up right there and finish out the day and win the day you can actually minimize

00:11:28.640 the amount of impact those moments have it's the opposite of what most people do right like most 0.99

00:11:33.280 people amplify you know the one bad thing that happens to them in the day and they're like fuck i 0.97

00:11:38.000 had a terrible day it's like bro uh you know like there's people out here that are that are not 0.95

00:11:45.040 being able to eat yeah you know what i mean there's people out here without a place to live

00:11:49.020 like you you got some bad news you know you were you were not down an extra pound you know what i'm 0.95

00:11:54.220 saying like you had to do an extra thing at work send an extra email it's not a bad fucking day yeah 0.94

00:11:58.900 you know so let's talk a little bit about uh you know how because you've done the program how many 0.94

00:12:06.560 times now this is my fourth time fourth time doing 55 right now today yeah okay so

00:12:11.720 where when you first went through this process and you were you're not happy you're not really uh in

00:12:19.800 a place where you want to be and you said hey i'm going to do this program where where did that take

00:12:25.180 you after that where it took me after that was exactly what you say not to do i was drinking and

00:12:33.660 partying and so happy that i completed it and i felt immediately yeah i felt like wow what what did i

00:12:40.500 just do this is not fun the what was fun was actually building up to this point yeah and i got

00:12:46.320 a huge moment of like i i went into depression after i went into depression because i knew what i was

00:12:54.400 capable of and now i wasn't doing what i said i was going to do yeah and i was like i'm disgusted with

00:13:01.060 myself and so it took me a few months and then i got back on the program i started phase one and i was

00:13:08.560 like oh i could do this whenever i want i'm making the choice to be depressed right now i'm making

00:13:13.720 the choice to get mad at myself well and the reason you're probably depressed correct me if i'm wrong

00:13:18.920 is that you know what you're capable of and you're living below that standard that's it and that's

00:13:23.040 something that people have a hard time once you open up pandora's box to what you're capable of 0.96

00:13:28.720 yeah and you start living below that of course you're going to feel like shit dude because you know 0.53

00:13:33.500 in your heart that you're living below what your potential is and that doesn't feel good no and and

00:13:38.700 so i i just went into a tailspin and and i think people i i wish i thought about what am i going to

00:13:46.080 do after and prioritized it and made it a focus because looking back that was the most obvious

00:13:52.420 thing to do you're creating a whole new person and the person that you are creating is better than

00:13:58.500 any person that you've ever been in your entire life so when you go day 76 have a plan you got to

00:14:06.200 have a plan for day 76 you got to start and continue having standards for yourself maybe even higher

00:14:12.160 than 75 hard requires because if you don't you're just gonna you might go back to old habits and you

00:14:18.980 might absolutely become a person that is even worse yeah than the person who yep who started the

00:14:27.140 program that's why i tell people so many times i'm like guys this is not a diet this is a mental

00:14:32.200 program and once you open up the possibilities for yourself you try to go back to where you were

00:14:36.900 you're going to feel even worse because where you were before you were ignorant to how you could be

00:14:42.380 right if you don't know what you can be then you don't know how bad you are but once you shine a

00:14:47.500 light on how bad you are and you know that you could be more that's a hard pill to live with when you

00:14:53.780 know you're underperforming or holding a lower standard you know i i'll just throw this in here

00:14:59.320 you know for me i've always struggled with my weight my whole life um i i have a very easy time putting

00:15:07.000 on weight and it wasn't until i figured out that i could hold that standard for myself mentally

00:15:19.300 that would keep my body in check where i was able to maintain the weight loss right like i've been

00:15:25.360 i lost 110 pounds in 2016 and then you know i didn't we didn't start 75 hard till 2019 um but

00:15:35.780 normally that's that's how it would have went for me it would have went you know two or three years 0.96

00:15:40.360 and then i would have got fat again and i've been able to keep it off you know fuck i guess almost 0.94

00:15:45.820 you know eight nine years now um because i understand the concept of living a standard 0.98

00:15:52.640 right like once you adopt a new standard for yourself you have to live it otherwise you're

00:15:58.300 going to feel bad and i think it's very important for people to understand like

00:16:02.140 once you understand that you're living below what it is you're supposed to live

00:16:09.740 it's it's it's very important that you that you execute at a higher level because dude you will 0.97

00:16:17.880 feel like shit about yourself and a lot of people will say oh they get off 75 hard and they just go 0.98

00:16:23.120 back to the way they were and i didn't feel i felt worse no shit because now you know that you're 0.99

00:16:28.120 capable of what you're capable of and now you're you're not living that at all you're trying to go

00:16:32.820 back to who you used to be and that's very painful and and your heart and your soul and your mind is

00:16:37.860 all telling you dude you don't want this this is not you you're you're supposed to be here you can

00:16:43.220 do this you could be that and you think about those internal conversations that we have about

00:16:48.280 what we're capable of mentally right like we're laying at home at night and we're kind of thinking

00:16:52.200 about what we could be or what we could become or what we want to become or what we want to

00:16:56.660 create or what we want to build and we're thinking about all these things and when we're not

00:17:01.860 aware of what we're capable of those visions are small so they're not very far above like when

00:17:06.940 we're living the i would say you know a negative lifestyle right they're a little bit above that

00:17:11.540 but once you go for an extended period of time like 75 days or let's say you do phase one right

00:17:16.980 after where you go 105 days in a row now you're very very aware of what you're actually capable of

00:17:22.920 so like that level of where i used to live is so far below you get what i'm saying it's so far below

00:17:31.080 what you're actually capable of that living like that is miserable like even living at a high level of

00:17:36.200 what you used to think was high is still miserable so it's a it's something that you need to be

00:17:41.280 prepared for before you go into it for sure yeah i'm curious you recently it stopped for you right

00:17:48.480 75 hard stop for you in the sense of you were doing the program yeah just saturday saturday and you go to

00:17:54.560 the er yeah what do you tell people in moments like that and how do you respond to moments like that

00:18:01.020 i mean there's there's things that happen you know that's called life man yeah you know sometimes

00:18:05.740 there's going to be uncontrollable things i woke up in the morning i was throwing up i had massive 0.96

00:18:10.840 like pain in my stomach and went to my back and went up into my chest and i'm like fuck i'm having a 0.86

00:18:16.620 heart attack and and i made uh i went to the hospital on an ambulance and i was there all day and what it 0.84

00:18:23.880 ended up being was an intestinal blockage from uh i smoked three cigars the night before and it

00:18:28.720 dehydrated me and then i ate a super uh like a like a i ate steak that night which i usually don't

00:18:33.900 eat steak i usually eat chicken or or fish or shrimp and um the combination of those two irritated my

00:18:41.800 gallbladder and then also gave me an intestinal blockage so like i was in the hospital until

00:18:47.140 6 7 p.m that night um and and dude after that i wasn't able to to continue going so what do i tell

00:18:54.900 people i just tell them the truth like there's things that happen there's life that happens and

00:18:58.860 when that happens it is what it is yeah um i've already done this year 75 hard phase one and phase

00:19:06.480 two and i was doing 75 hard with my buddy who um needed it to really get himself back on track

00:19:13.940 yeah so i just picked up where the next day and i mean i'm not i'm not doing it like officially

00:19:20.140 but i'm going to finish with him because i said i would so i missed i missed a day yeah um but i'm

00:19:25.700 going to go ahead and finish and if it were my first time through 75 hard this year i would start

00:19:29.900 right over but uh because it's not i'm just going to pick up where i was yeah i think that that part

00:19:35.560 about i was speaking to somebody who works here earlier and they were talking about how if you've

00:19:42.280 done the program multiple times what happens is you miss a day and that's just life and you

00:19:48.760 understand you can get right back on the horse the next day yeah the first time going through

00:19:52.420 i had nightmares yeah about drinking alcohol yeah or about eating a donut yeah and it's like now now

00:19:59.360 i'm just this is life yeah dude it is life i would say most of the time even when i'm not tracking

00:20:04.580 the program i'm still living the program it is pretty it is very much so become a daily routine for me

00:20:13.140 i mean all of those things every single day whether you see me posting it or not posting it

00:20:18.740 or saying what day i'm on or not chances are i followed those things all day the the only thing

00:20:24.480 that i might not follow a hundred percent all the time is my diet right like i might i might eat

00:20:31.220 you know good monday through saturday and have some sort you know go out to dinner or something

00:20:36.320 saturday night kind of eat something but like dude even though even with that like my my off

00:20:42.300 meals or my cheat meals so to say that i have when i'm not like there's so much less damaging 0.98

00:20:48.100 because like i don't i've gone so far like so many cumulative days now without eating all that shit 0.90

00:20:56.500 that when i do eat it i feel gross dude and so like it's not even what i want when i when i actually 0.96

00:21:02.800 want to go off plan it's not even what i choose to eat like i used to want to just gorge myself and

00:21:07.020 i'd want to eat you know all the all the good foods quote unquote and the reality is and dude

00:21:13.040 i remember used to be and i remember you when i used to be like when i had zero discipline i would

00:21:19.540 like fantasize about becoming one of these people that like this stuff didn't affect them like i would

00:21:26.080 notice friends or people i knew or guys that were good they were athletes you know and we would go we

00:21:32.520 would go out or we would go to a ball game or whatever dude and they're they're eating on their

00:21:36.920 plan right and i always admired that i was always like how what like how come i don't have that like

00:21:42.940 why why are they able to do this and it's no big deal and i always wanted that for myself 0.96

00:21:47.160 and and now i have it like i don't even crave any of that shit and i know how hard that is for 0.96

00:21:54.820 someone who's at the beginning stages to really understand but when you put like the live hard 0.98

00:22:00.160 program where you do 75 hard phase one two and three over the course of a year

00:22:04.020 you're sort of weeding that out of your your system and and dude i can't tell you i mean you

00:22:10.280 probably talk to a bunch of people too who after they started living this lifestyle i mean dude they

00:22:15.880 don't really drink ever yeah uh they don't really i mean they're usually pretty ripped all the time

00:22:21.420 uh and they're constantly moving forward in life they're not just stagnating and and staying still

00:22:27.380 so it's kind of funny when people say oh dude you know it's just a it's a gimmick or a fad well 0.86

00:22:33.160 i mean fuck dude i only know i don't know any fads the last six years and get bigger as they go you 0.96

00:22:38.000 know what i mean um but yeah dude i i think that's a good it's a good thing though you know like uh i feel 0.98

00:22:45.960 very proud about the discipline that i've cultivated and and it's it's so good now where it doesn't even

00:22:52.520 feel like discipline it's just like it is what it is like i don't have those mental struggles anymore

00:22:58.180 like when i see someone drinking beer i don't think like oh i need to drink beer or when i see someone

00:23:03.000 eating pizza it doesn't make me want pizza like i don't even i don't like it used to be like the

00:23:09.080 first time i did 75 hard even the first year i did live hard those were mental conversations i had

00:23:14.680 you know we talk about in the book the boss voice and the bitch voice but when you get so far down 1.00

00:23:20.520 the path the boss voice just becomes your default setting and it's not a struggle anymore there's no 0.72

00:23:27.160 longer this like contentious conversation happening on the inside of your brain you know the little

00:23:33.420 angel and the little devil it's just this is what i'm doing and i don't compromise it and i i think

00:23:39.620 that's the power of the lifestyle in general um what do you think dude i think you're absolutely right

00:23:45.920 and i'm so happy you brought up the the drinking piece yeah because i so specifically remembered

00:23:51.440 during the program i was 24 years old living in san diego and i would use the fact that i was doing

00:23:58.880 75 hard as an excuse to tell people i wasn't drinking yeah because i was insecure yeah about that fact

00:24:05.940 yeah well you were you like in the light the drinking lifestyle yeah i was too yeah so i was partying

00:24:11.260 every weekend and i wanted to i wanted to go out still but i was insecure about the fact that i

00:24:16.180 wasn't drinking yeah which now that i think about is an entirely different reality than the one that

00:24:20.700 i currently live in yeah it's so wild how you progress now i'm proud to not drink yeah and but there

00:24:26.300 was a moment there where that was part of my identity that's part of who i was yeah and so one thing

00:24:31.660 that i'm uh this conversation is just making me think of is like there's a lot of people who whose identity

00:24:37.340 right now listening here is i'm a drinker yeah and i drink alcohol and that's an important part well

00:24:43.900 okay well do 75 hard you have an excuse a way around it in that moment so that you can eventually

00:24:50.700 be secure in the fact that you don't drink you know what was hard for me at first was because

00:24:55.580 the drinking lifestyle was such a big part of my social existence yeah you know um i knew the people

00:25:02.620 where i would go to drink at i had my friends that i drank with and it was hard for me to

00:25:09.020 see my life outside of that because that was such a big part of my life and i think it's important

00:25:16.060 for people to realize that once you kind of unplug from that and you see it for what it is uh

00:25:23.420 uh it's really just not it's just not a healthy way to live and and i don't mean that like physically

00:25:31.660 healthy i mean just overall man you know a lot of people spend their whole lives in a bar and

00:25:40.300 you know when you unplug from that and you start to recognize it you know one of the things that that

00:25:44.220 really helped me realize why i didn't like it is like if you go to a bar and you imagine imagine

00:25:50.940 there being no music and imagine like all the lights on right and then imagine what that looks

00:25:56.060 like right that's that's what you're at and and when you start to like imagine it like that and

00:26:00.700 see it for what it is and then you see all these people and you look around and they're none of them

00:26:05.980 are in shape they all look sick they all look 10 years older than what they are and you start to

00:26:13.500 realize like dude this is just not what i want to be around and so you unplug and you start to build

00:26:19.340 better relationships with people who are aligned with progress people who are aligned with healthier

00:26:25.260 lifestyle and and dude when you're in the bar scene and you hear that you're like that sounds corny

00:26:29.740 that doesn't sound fun at all but dude i can't tell you how much better i mean i it's a it's a it's a

00:26:37.260 thousand times better it's it's inconceivably better to to unplug yourself from that social scene and and

00:26:44.140 and live a you know i still drink occasionally but i would say most of the time i'm sober life right

00:26:49.820 yeah and it's one thing to hear that on a podcast it's another thing to have the lived experience

00:26:54.940 of on day 76 you drink a beer and you're like wait i missed the program yeah and that completely

00:27:01.900 shifts everything yeah when you actually feel winning is actually doing this and losing is actually

00:27:10.460 the thing that we do to celebrate and that was the hugest mindfuck for me how wait we're we celebrate

00:27:17.660 doing the thing that hurts us yeah this makes no yeah no sense i mean i i got on people for

00:27:23.980 for on twitter i posted on my birthday i was like isn't it so fascinating that we celebrate birthdays by

00:27:30.140 cake and people were like this guy he has no life yeah and i'm like well you're actively doing

00:27:35.580 something that hurts you yeah and where does that come from yeah and why do we celebrate

00:27:40.620 by doing things that actively hurt us yeah that makes no sense to me it doesn't to me either but

00:27:46.380 it always did before it did before and and i think that's an awareness that you have to come to on your

00:27:52.700 own dude let me ask you this you know we talk a lot about the benefits the mental benefits of 75 hard

00:27:59.500 right the confidence the grit the self-esteem the the self-belief the ability to endure let's talk

00:28:06.620 about some of those character traits and and how this helped you develop not just the first time

00:28:11.100 through but over the last five years or so so i mean there's so many examples but just dude you

00:28:18.300 got the open mic yeah let it rip so what happened was the first time i noticed the program actually

00:28:25.020 making an impact on me after i had done it was when i started to meditate 60 minutes a day for

00:28:31.340 from may 2020 to december of 2020 i never i started meditating when i did the program so it was basically

00:28:38.380 75 hard plus a meditation of 15 minutes in the morning when i started and then after it was over

00:28:44.780 did 20 minutes of med i did 60 minutes of meditation and i carried that through for the rest of the year

00:28:49.660 and now how do you do that you sit down close your eyes you put a a blanket over you you put your feet

00:28:57.740 out or put them on the floor and just witness what comes up we spend so much of our time in other

00:29:05.020 people's worlds through instagram through the tv through the internet through podcasts but what are

00:29:10.220 you thinking your voice is as important as any of those that you're listening to so i realized that and

00:29:15.500 i started to meditate 60 minutes a day and what i realized it was a 60 minute a day challenge for 60

00:29:20.860 days i realized somewhere around day 30 there is no shot that i would have completed this challenge

00:29:26.940 had it not been for doing 75 hard because there was a moment where it was making an impact but i didn't

00:29:32.140 really see it and then i said to myself i'm going to continue doing this because i know if i get to the

00:29:39.180 end of this i'm going to be a different person and i have faith that if i take the appropriate

00:29:44.300 action i will be a different person and so i continued and i continued and it changed my life

00:29:50.060 it changed my perception of myself and it changed everything i saw my reality shift one way it shifted

00:29:55.180 in september of 2020 was i started the podcast and because i'm meditating every day i'm doing 75 hard

00:30:01.100 and the live hard program i'm now talking to people i want to talk to people about my experience

00:30:06.620 so so those were within one year i mean within one year i can't do what i say i'm going to do

00:30:11.660 to now i have a podcast and i'm doing three episodes a week i mean that's a completely

00:30:15.980 different reality and i'm meditating 60 minutes a day during the time when everyone's losing their

00:30:20.220 mind so that was a cool moment of building mental toughness grit and discipline what you notice is

00:30:27.740 it gets bigger and bigger just on on december 31st of this year or december 30th of 2023 rather

00:30:35.180 my buddy matt choi text me and he says hey do you want to run a marathon tomorrow i said yeah let's

00:30:41.500 do it i knew i was that person who was capable of doing that but it was only because of 75 hard that

00:30:47.340 i knew that i wouldn't have done that i'd ran a marathon a month prior but i wouldn't have done

00:30:53.100 that had it not been for for doing 75 hard so the ways in which this program shapes you is phenomenal

00:30:58.780 now what do you when you talk about like you know when we talk about like the grit the confidence

00:31:04.060 self-esteem you know as you're making this progress from someone who can't do what they say they're

00:31:11.020 going to do to someone who's clearly moving down the path of progress did you find that

00:31:19.100 the more you dug into this lifestyle the more those skills compounded for you absolutely i mean it's

00:31:25.900 it's not it's not a question but what's interesting is that every time i think i have it figured out

00:31:33.100 and every time like no i don't need the program i go to a low that is needed where i need to recalibrate

00:31:40.620 and i think if i spend uh three months off the program i'm like something's wrong something's off

00:31:49.100 and and i need to change something i mean dude i went through this this breakup three months ago three

00:31:55.100 months ago almost to this day and i was the lowest that i've ever been in my entire life

00:32:00.700 just feeling like who am i what am i doing and it was a month of just being in absolute

00:32:09.900 distress and and sorrow and and sadness and it was only until my friend talia was like you know

00:32:17.100 you mentioned doing 75 hard i'm gonna do that you want to do with me i was like yes

00:32:20.940 that changed my life doing it on june 15th starting the program again so it's like yeah it's a great

00:32:28.540 tool for recalibration that's it that's the thing is like it's you know people think you can do something

00:32:36.220 once right you can go on a diet once or you can uh you know train for a marathon and do it once or or you

00:32:44.060 can you know do 75 hard once and it's gonna stick it's listen these skills that we talk about

00:32:52.060 discipline grit fortitude self-belief confidence the ability to endure all of these things are

00:33:00.060 perishable they are things that will go down if you do not practice them if you don't practice playing

00:33:06.780 the guitar you're going to get worse at guitar playing if you don't shoot on a regular basis you're

00:33:13.740 going to become a worse shot all right if you don't shoot baskets every single day guess what

00:33:20.620 you're not going to be as good as you could be and it's no if you don't take a shower guess what

00:33:25.900 you're gonna stink and that's the thing about this this program is that that's why it's designed in a

00:33:31.820 framework of one year all right it's 75 days for those of you guys that don't know then it's phase

00:33:38.140 one is 30 days phase two is 30 days and phase three is 30 days and they are all spaced out at

00:33:43.980 your discretion throughout the year except phase three phase three is done 30 days prior to the

00:33:50.620 anniversary of you starting 75 hard the year before okay and the purpose of this is so that we can keep

00:33:57.980 these skills sharp all right because just because you do 75 hard once doesn't mean that your discipline

00:34:05.580 is going to be at a high level the rest of the year it doesn't even last that long that's the

00:34:11.340 thing what does last that long is your awareness your awareness lasts forever because like we talked

00:34:17.340 about before you're now understanding what you're capable of you're now understanding what your

00:34:23.100 potential is and what it could be if you execute it all the time all right but the ability to execute

00:34:30.220 is a different story the your confidence staying high your confidence isn't going to stay high all

00:34:35.340 the time you're going to have dings on your confidence you're going to have breakups you're

00:34:40.060 going to have career changes you're going to have unexpected hardships that's called life dude and we

00:34:47.100 have to know when it's time to you know take another shower right or recalibrate our our discipline and

00:34:54.140 our toughness and our our mental fortitude and our ability you know to endure and our confidence and all

00:34:59.580 these things we have to look at those as if they are sliding scales that are always moving and i like

00:35:06.300 to compare this to like you know a video game right like let's just you know madden football is a game

00:35:11.580 i used to play and you get a football player and you'd have a guy on there that had speed 99 and then

00:35:17.180 strength you know he had 80 and then his agility was like 90 and they had all these different levels and

00:35:23.100 if you think about yourself like that and you think about the categories being discipline grit

00:35:29.820 fortitude mental toughness confidence belief all of these self-esteem all of these things they're

00:35:37.100 always moving up and down because of the environment that we're living in because nobody is so immune

00:35:43.500 and so strong that they can just stay at the top level all the time nobody there's not a single person

00:35:49.340 on earth we i mean we see this in sports all the time right we see the pitcher who's a phenomenal 0.99

00:35:55.420 pitcher and then all of a sudden he loses his shit and can't throw a fucking strike right or we see a 0.99

00:36:00.940 football guy who was an amazing player all through college and then he gets to the pros and he's horrible 1.00

00:36:06.700 the reason isn't skill dude the reason is somewhere in that in that mental mindset they have allowed

00:36:13.660 their levels to go down and they haven't figured out how to replenish them so we as a like dude look

00:36:20.540 anybody listen to this show you have goals for achievement or else you wouldn't be listening

00:36:25.500 so we all of us listening as high achievers or want to be high achievers we have to realize

00:36:32.140 that we have to constantly be assessing where we are right we have to self-assess where am i like you

00:36:38.860 just said i just went through this breakup i'm i'm really low i need to get my ship back together

00:36:44.300 yes i'm going to use this tool to get it back to where it needs to be and that's how i look at the

00:36:49.180 program and and that's how you should look at the program you shouldn't look at it as a cure-all be-all

00:36:54.940 one-time one-stop shop you should look at it as okay i did the program i've got the awareness i

00:37:02.380 understand how to build these things and then the next step past that is being aware enough to

00:37:08.140 self-evaluate as you go through your life to know when you need to sharpen the blade so to speak

00:37:15.100 and uh those two things the the ability to execute on 75 hard once and then the ability to know when

00:37:23.740 you need it again bro i i think though if you can if you can do that i don't think that you can

00:37:30.540 i think the limits of of a human are almost non-existent because we like i said on the compounding

00:37:38.060 effect the longer you do it the more you invest just like like we say when you don't do it and

00:37:44.860 it goes down the more you do it the higher it goes so the higher your levels go yes and and dude to be

00:37:50.940 a high achiever on a high level you're competing with the best in the world so this whether you

00:37:55.980 want to believe that or not you are and when you think about where your levels need to be it's it has to

00:38:01.500 be something that you're you know like when you start to let it when you start to notice that it dips you

00:38:06.140 should be right on that and say all right dude it's time for me to recalibrate phase one should

00:38:10.380 start now phase two should start now right 75 hard should start now and um i think that's a very very

00:38:17.340 very important way to look at the at this program as a tool not as a cure it's not a cure it's never

00:38:24.940 been told never been told you i've never told you guys it was a cure it's never been presented as a

00:38:29.660 cure it's presented as a tool that we use when we uh you know realize that we need it absolutely

00:38:37.180 and what i was thinking about on that was so beautifully said i was on a run this morning

00:38:42.620 and i realized that i am the way i am the way out of every situation i need to get out of or every

00:38:51.420 situation i want to go towards i am the way you are the way there's nobody else that's going to come

00:38:57.260 save you there's nobody else that's coming for you and and checking off your tasks for you you

00:39:02.140 are the way for everything and if people really understood that they would get excited when the

00:39:07.980 day gets hard yeah they would get excited when there's two workouts and it's four o'clock in the

00:39:12.300 afternoon and you haven't done it yeah they get excited for when life throws them a curveball

00:39:16.620 because you're the way out yeah and when you understand that and live that you become a

00:39:21.580 different person bro it's a chance it's a test every single day where you have those days where

00:39:27.500 it's like like dude i'm having one a day to be just completely honest like today i procrastinated so

00:39:33.740 hard on training because i've just had one thing after another after another in my business life today

00:39:40.540 and i didn't want to train and and i did i had a great workout but the point is is that you start to

00:39:48.380 look at those to your point you start to look at those times as an opportunity as opposed to

00:39:56.300 something that's negative right like okay cool i woke up at four i still got two or i still got two

00:40:01.740 workouts uh to go today um that's an opportunity to prove to myself that i can overcome this and get

00:40:09.820 this done right uh yeah it's midnight i haven't got my second workout in you know what uh i'm gonna go do

00:40:16.460 it and then when you do it those hard workouts are the ones that pay you the most right those those

00:40:22.620 critical tasks that we that we accomplish when your back is against the wall is when you learn

00:40:30.300 that you actually are capable of doing these things and so you know as you start to progress mentally

00:40:36.940 yeah dude i think it's absolutely true that when tests present themselves you get excited about it as

00:40:43.180 opposed to uh demoralized i think whenever you know what most people do yeah you know what's so

00:40:48.780 interesting is this is my fourth time through the program and i have not i've every single day i've

00:40:56.620 gotten it done before 7 p.m at night there's been no moment where it's nine o'clock or 11 o'clock i'm

00:41:04.140 laying in bed and i'm like wow isn't that the win yeah as well the fact that you're talking about you

00:41:09.180 figured it out yeah that you can actually get your done yeah there's no and and that was so fascinating

00:41:15.020 for me to realize is i used to procrastinate this yeah i used to wait until the end and that was my

00:41:20.700 way of coping but when you realize and do this program enough you realize you're gonna do it one

00:41:25.580 way or another so might as well do it early yeah i noticed that too man the more i've now that you say

00:41:30.620 that like i don't have those days anymore where i where it's midnight and i gotta get out and do my

00:41:36.220 my thing like that's not like if i know i'm having a hard day tomorrow meaning my schedule is

00:41:41.740 packed i figure it out dude i get up an hour earlier two hours earlier or i make time to get

00:41:47.500 it done because i don't want to be out doing it and dude that's a valuable skill as well the time

00:41:52.220 management aspect that that this program teaches people i think is one of the biggest benefits uh of

00:41:58.860 the program and a lot of people when they first look at it they say there's no way i have time to do

00:42:05.100 all this i'm busy and then when they're like it i'm gonna do it they get like two weeks in and

00:42:09.900 they're like dude i actually have way more time because i know that i can't be distracted with

00:42:15.260 bullshit i can't allow people to steal my time and one of the things that was really uh good for me 0.87

00:42:22.860 was not just the time management but it was also the realization of how many people and how much time 0.99

00:42:31.420 was being stolen from me over nothing my tolerance for bullshit went to zero my tolerance for other 0.89

00:42:38.700 people's excuses went to zero and it really showed me a lot about other people when i started figuring 0.90

00:42:45.580 this out because like dude when you're living at a high standard and you're doing all these things

00:42:50.380 and you're around people that aren't even trying or you're around people that are making excuses

00:42:55.020 or you're around people that are saying oh my god i'm so busy when they really don't do 0.86

00:42:59.100 shit it starts to wear you out real quick because you're paying the price it's kind of like having 0.96

00:43:04.780 to do a job with like a you know it's you and four other people and we got to move this pile of rocks 0.99

00:43:10.220 from over here to over there and you're doing all the shoveling and they're not doing shit you start to 0.99

00:43:14.540 be like well fuck you guys and dude it eliminates a lot of the weak relationships out of your life 0.99

00:43:19.820 that's something it did for me that i'm very thankful for and you know of course people get upset about 1.00

00:43:24.300 that because they're like oh well you got too good for us no dude i'm just on a different path

00:43:29.020 i'm trying to squeeze out everything that i can squeeze out i'm not trying to be a normal 0.99

00:43:33.340 motherfucker dude i'm not trying to wake up every day go to my job get paid go home and repeat that 0.99

00:43:40.060 cycle for i'm trying to be the best that i can be so that like when my time comes i can say all right 0.98

00:43:46.140 dude you left it out there on the field bro you know what i'm saying i'm not going to have regrets

00:43:50.460 now i might have some regrets like maybe i will regret that i didn't you know do more fun things

00:43:56.140 or whatever but dude that's just not the way i'm wired i'm wired for achievement i'm wired for battle

00:44:01.820 and um i have to have a fight you know warriors got to have a war and for me i i love the fact that

00:44:10.380 i'm constantly getting better and i love the fact that as i'm constantly getting better the people

00:44:16.220 around me and the people that i attract and the relationships that i build even now in my 40s

00:44:21.660 i'm meeting people who are of higher standard i'm meeting people who hold a higher standard

00:44:26.220 all of my friends now they're all you know they're all sort of the same you know they're not out like

00:44:32.860 getting wasted and and they're not they're all focused they're all willing to work hard they're all

00:44:38.060 moving in the same direction and dude that feels a hell of a lot better than being the only guy in

00:44:43.180 your circle that's like running hard you know what i mean yeah when you're high energy and you're

00:44:46.940 living a life that's in alignment to you it really puts a magnifying glass on the people who are not

00:44:52.780 bro and when you see that and experience that you just get excited i do to continue pushing that path

00:44:59.420 because the people in my life just keep getting better and better and better yeah and at younger and

00:45:03.820 younger ages yeah so it's like i i have a 22 year old friend right now named ben and i'm like this

00:45:09.580 guy is so self-aware he cares so much about life he's trying so hard this guy is someone i want to

00:45:14.620 be around yeah and it's like where were those people when i was 22. bro that's how he's

00:45:18.300 fucking partying that's how i felt when i met you dude real talk man i appreciate yeah i tell everybody 0.85

00:45:23.020 i know i'm like bro you got to talk to danny miranda you got to go on and do a show you got to listen to 0.98

00:45:29.180 a show um it's really really cool and i know i tell you this all the time and i've told you this before

00:45:36.060 the it's cool to have a young guy kind of carrying that torch you know there's very few young people

00:45:43.580 out there carrying that torch of high standards uh you know matt graham does it you do it uh there's

00:45:49.580 a couple other guys online that i really that i really enjoy their their content and their persona

00:45:54.220 and the example that they're setting um and you know this aside from all this i just think you're

00:45:59.340 really setting an amazing example for the other guys around you bro thank you it's a big deal it's a

00:46:03.660 big deal i really appreciate that i really appreciate it so let's talk about this brother

00:46:09.100 um how did it affect your like we talked about this just a minute ago but like like your actual

00:46:15.020 roster of friends like how did it what happened during this whole last five years i wonder if it's

00:46:21.820 similar to what's happened with me yeah dude i mean my friends used to i was big in partying and

00:46:26.940 drinking and that was fun but my friends now are some of the coolest most interesting insightful

00:46:34.300 hard-working people i know yeah and i i'm so blessed i live in austin texas and the only reason i live in

00:46:41.980 austin texas is because the people there are so in alignment with who i am and my friends are

00:46:48.700 everybody you know you know what i was thinking about the other day my friends are people who get

00:46:56.300 shit done on their own and i trust them 100 to get the job done and they trust me 100 to get the job

00:47:04.300 done myself why because i've proved it with the podcast with my meditation with my working out like 0.70

00:47:09.260 i've proved that i can do things on my own and they've proved they could do things on their own too

00:47:13.500 and together we come and do things together and that is such a special relationship because

00:47:18.460 we don't need anything from anyone yeah we're not using each other to validate ourselves yeah we're

00:47:22.940 not using each other so that we could have this habit we like doing the habits that we like doing

00:47:28.460 on our own and together we come together yeah and we get better yeah it's the best thing in the world

00:47:33.740 dude that's that's that's what it's about that's what friends should be right friends shouldn't be

00:47:39.100 people that drag you off course like it's weird to me how many people i get this all the time from

00:47:45.180 the show people who they feel like because they grew up with people or because they knew people

00:47:52.700 in high school or in college they feel this sense of loyalty towards them even though those people don't

00:47:59.180 do anything but bring negative into their life right gossip drama alcohol partying uh you know

00:48:07.180 criticism of your goals and dreams like dude you guys have to understand you have to cut that loose

00:48:13.740 being successful and becoming a high achiever in any area of life is super super super super super rare

00:48:21.340 and super fucking hard okay that's why it's rare and if you think you're going to be the first person 0.99

00:48:29.340 in the history of the fucking world to carry a bunch of dead weight motherfuckers to the finish line 1.00

00:48:35.500 you're insane it's not going to happen for you bro so like you have to figure out who you are you have 1.00

00:48:42.540 to become that person and then you will see these other great people start to materialize around you 0.67

00:48:48.940 you know one of the the the questions that we get frequently is how do i find more friends that are

00:48:54.700 of high level how do i network better listen dude how do i find a better girlfriend or a better boyfriend

00:49:01.020 like listen listen you have to become what it is you desire you have to become the person that you desire

00:49:10.780 in your life from the other person whether that's a relationship or whether that's a friendship or

00:49:16.220 whether that's you know whatever it is you have to become that and then when you become that it attracts 1.00

00:49:23.660 the other ones to you okay you don't go out there as a piece of shit and get to hang out with the world 1.00

00:49:30.220 champions bro like that's not how it works you don't get to be a shitty fucking athlete and go hang out 1.00

00:49:35.900 with the new england patriots no you have to be good and then they're like hey come hang out with us 0.98

00:49:41.180 and that's how this works dude so you guys out here who feel like you know yeah man i want to get

00:49:46.700 better and yeah i want to do better and yeah i want to have better friends and i want to network

00:49:51.020 okay cool become the kind of person that you want to attract and those people will surround you

00:49:57.340 automatically you won't have to try you won't have to go network they will just find you bro because

00:50:03.740 it's so rare that when you find somebody like that you know it like like like you know what i'm saying

00:50:09.980 when you meet someone who's special who's who's driven who's disciplined who is one of these people who

00:50:16.700 gets done what they say they're going to do do you you know it right away so it's an automatic thing so

00:50:24.060 like dude you guys have to understand it's not find the group and then work to fit in it's become the

00:50:29.900 person and create your own group because they those people will find you that's right and here's the

00:50:35.660 thing people listen to podcasts because often they're in the middle period yeah the middle no man's

00:50:41.740 land no man's land is an important piece to talk about you you have these habits or you have this

00:50:46.860 these friends that you grew up with and now you say okay i'm going to do 75 hard and i'm going to be a

00:50:51.660 different person but guess what in between you having the group that you want to be around and you

00:50:57.740 your current life that's the middle period yeah and the middle period you have to have faith in the

00:51:01.900 middle period that you're doing what you say you're going to do you're building yourself into the

00:51:05.820 person that you want to be and just have faith it will work out yeah and it will i'm living proof

00:51:11.420 of it i have the best friends in the world and it's only because i waited the middle period and i

00:51:16.300 didn't sacrifice my progress because i could have friends that were not in alignment with the person

00:51:22.140 that i wanted to be dude it's super super important to talk about this because so many people

00:51:27.580 will limit their own life and their own success based around other people's standards of what success

00:51:33.740 looks like and what i mean by that is is is what danny's talking about okay you grew up with this

00:51:39.740 group of friends from high school and you decide that you're going to go out and you're going to

00:51:45.020 become a successful businessman who has his whole life together and these people you know they're happy

00:51:51.340 where they want to be and that's okay i'm not judging but they're happy working their regular job

00:51:56.860 coming home drinking thursday friday saturday sunday they're happy with that because they're unaware

00:52:02.540 just just so we understand each other that's why they're happy ignorance is bliss that's the saying

00:52:08.300 and then you start to move away from that okay and this is where that phrase lonely at the top

00:52:14.460 comes from because you start to make progress maybe you get a better career or you get in better

00:52:20.300 shape or all of that right and your life starts to come together in a little bit better way and you

00:52:25.580 get in this area and i call it no man's land where you don't have many friends all right and and you

00:52:32.780 know what most people do at this point in time is they get really uncomfortable because it is

00:52:38.380 uncomfortable when you don't know how to what it is when you don't know to expect it it's very

00:52:43.260 very very uncomfortable you're like i have i've alienated my friends i've i've you know i've lost all 0.99

00:52:49.420 my people i i don't have new i'm gonna end up alone i'm gonna die alone holy shit and you freak 0.97

00:52:53.980 the fuck out and then you start to go back to their group because you are afraid of continuing to move 0.98

00:53:00.540 forward but what you'll find is that when you continue to move forward is like we're talking 0.99

00:53:05.660 about here you will begin to attract these other people who are no longer making fun of you for your 0.68

00:53:11.900 goals they're no longer talking shit when you say i'm going to do this big impossible crazy thing 0.70

00:53:18.460 they're saying yeah dude you should how can i help right and this changes your entire life because 0.96

00:53:24.860 now you're not surrounded by anchors now you've got a few propellers in the boat right and then if you

00:53:31.580 keep going and if you level up even again the same thing will repeat itself and it will keep repeating

00:53:37.340 itself over and over and over the higher that you go and every time there'll be one or two people that

00:53:43.660 decide to go with you and the rest will stay there and yes you'll maintain amicable decent relationships

00:53:49.660 with those people but you're not going to be with them all the time and so what you guys have to

00:53:53.580 understand is that when you start to progress you are going to feel alone at first and it's going to

00:53:59.020 be uncomfortable but if you keep going your life gets so much better and so much more fulfilling

00:54:05.180 and quite honestly so much easier because you have people around you that are now pushing you down

00:54:11.180 the path as opposed to trying to hold you back from the path and that's that's an amazing thing

00:54:18.300 if you can withstand the time that you're alone and most people have a problem with that and i think

00:54:23.340 it's because they don't expect it i think it's because they don't you know how do you know something

00:54:27.420 that you don't know how do you know something that you never experienced and um you guys are out

00:54:33.020 there like right now i know there's a lot of you because like i said we have a lot of high achievers and

00:54:37.340 ambitious people here you guys you know to you guys are feeling alone and feeling like man you 0.86

00:54:42.860 know i just fuck let us be your fucking friends bro look coming we're here almost every day all 0.99

00:54:47.660 right we're out here like i always say this shit on my instagram story we work together we win 1.00

00:54:52.140 together follow danny bro he's working every fucking day we may not talk every day but i guarantee you 0.99

00:54:58.540 bro we live the example every single day and until you find that new group let us be your group 0.61

00:55:04.620 all right well this is why i set up my daily commitment because i want to help people do 75

00:55:09.820 hard who are in that middle period of their life so i'm i'm creating a program where you do 75 hard

00:55:15.820 we'll do a call a week let me be your friend let's go and i'll have the forum for you to come to

00:55:21.500 yeah so send me a message it's like that is i created the my program because of that yeah the 75

00:55:27.660 hard community is very very supportive dude yeah there's a very there's also an official facebook group

00:55:33.260 on facebook uh but dude you don't even have to do that all you got to do is go through the 75 hard

00:55:37.980 hashtag you'll find thousands of people doing it at any given time and dm them you know connect with

00:55:43.820 them be the accountability for each other yeah it makes a huge difference that's why i completed it

00:55:48.380 the first time was because i had a friend tez dosa who every day we would text each other at the end of

00:55:54.060 the day and say we completed this day and it's like that was the thing yeah that we did that too the

00:55:59.820 first time it's important the first time i did it well obviously me being the person that made it

00:56:05.020 the the first time i did it i knew i couldn't fucking fail like i was like if i fail i'm 0.93

00:56:09.180 fucked and we also had a group with uh with my companies with supplement superstores and first 0.97

00:56:16.060 form of a bunch of guys who did it the first time with me and every day we'd all be like telling 0.94

00:56:21.020 because like it was the first time through ever we'd all be sharing notes like how they felt and i

00:56:26.140 remember like dude the first time i got through a full week meaning monday through sunday and i was 0.96

00:56:32.380 on the next monday and i had it like i've made it bro i thought i i was like dude fuck yeah like that 0.88

00:56:38.540 was a huge win for me because i was always the person who couldn't go a full week without cheating 0.88

00:56:45.580 on their diet or or even like three or four days i was that guy and um i was the guy you know who would

00:56:53.100 get three or four days into a diet and be like all right man you deserve a reward right and then i

00:56:57.820 would reward myself with the that i was trying to get away from you know and when you think about

00:57:02.700 that psychologically you know you can't ever really get away from the bad habits living like that you

00:57:08.540 have to go an extended period of time without you know when we talk about like what it's like to be

00:57:14.060 in this culture of alcohol and food you know we have to drink we have to eat to survive and these

00:57:21.900 things become so normal to us that it's almost impossible to quit like think of someone who's

00:57:27.420 addicted to food bro like for real i was a food addict i had no control over what somebody put in

00:57:33.580 front of my face none if somebody put something in front of my face i had to eat it and i know that

00:57:38.940 sounds like really ridiculous but i had zero control and for me that's the equivalent of

00:57:48.380 you know i'm being told hey you have to eat less you can't eat all this but you have to eat

00:57:54.860 all right and i was also an overeater so so think about that how hard that is to quit when you have

00:58:00.060 cheat meals inside the framework of that because what you're telling somebody for real is like okay

00:58:06.940 you're you're a heroin addict and you got to quit doing this because you're doing too much of it

00:58:12.380 but you got to do a little bit or or else you'll die okay now think how hard that is for a 0.98

00:58:17.260 addict so so now uh oh and by the way on saturday because you did good you can get high as you get

00:58:23.660 all is what you want how can you ever get over it you can't okay so we have to understand that

00:58:30.140 mentally we have to go without for an extended period of time to prove to ourselves that we are capable of

00:58:36.540 doing it and i remember that dude that was one of the key lessons for me the first time i went through

00:58:41.420 when i got that eighth day in and i was like bro i made it through a whole week and a weekend

00:58:46.220 perfect bro that was very powerful for me you know what's so fascinating about that is how often

00:58:53.260 before the program i believe that the conditions were dictating the actions and so all right friday

00:58:59.260 saturday sunday that means drink all right the weather is bad out that means don't work out yes and

00:59:04.620 now it's i create the conditions no matter what yes and i am capable of doing what i'm supposed to

00:59:11.180 do no matter what dude if you are the kind of person that can execute see dude this is this is the key

00:59:18.540 okay we're really hitting on the keys to success in life in anything right here this point look dude

00:59:25.980 most people cannot operate they cannot execute unless conditions are absolutely perfect and the

00:59:33.740 problem with that is is that conditions are very rarely perfect so if you can learn to execute when

00:59:40.460 things are imperfect or even when things are chaotic you are at a massive advantage over someone who is

00:59:46.540 like everybody else who can only move when is perfect 70 degrees outside perfectly sunny not a rain in the

00:59:53.900 sky nothing's going wrong in my life and i got a great day in today no bro you have to be able to

01:00:00.060 do it when it's perfect you have to be able to do it when it's minus 30 and there's a foot of snow on

01:00:05.260 the ground you have to be able to do it when it's 105 and it's hot as shit or it's storming it doesn't

01:00:11.900 matter bro and if you can understand and and those are those are metaphorical things right the storm and

01:00:18.060 the snow these represent hardships and inconveniences and difficult times in our lives bad days you know

01:00:24.940 our girlfriend leaves us we get divorced our dog passes away these are difficult things we lose

01:00:30.620 somebody these things happen man it's called life and we have to be able to operate at high levels

01:00:36.540 regardless of what's going on in life over the cumulative okay now i understand and in no way shape

01:00:43.660 or form my saying that you lose your spouse and you're supposed to do your workouts that day that's 0.68

01:00:48.300 not the fuck i'm saying what i'm saying is that you need to be able to pull yourself out and you need 0.91

01:00:53.740 to know how to get back on track quickly and you have to operate over the cumulative time of your life 0.97

01:01:01.740 at a higher standard when times are not ideal because most of the times they won't be and if you can

01:01:07.420 become that person that can execute whether it's storming whether it's sunny whether it's raining

01:01:13.340 whether it's snowing whether it's hot whether it's cold bro you are at a tremendous advantage

01:01:18.860 over everybody else and people will say well i'm not competing with everybody else yes you are

01:01:23.340 you absolutely are you just don't you you bought into this in society if someone else can only

01:01:29.740 execute three days out of the month that are perfect and you can execute 30 you are doing 10 times

01:01:34.860 the amount of as that person you are going to win infinitely more and infinitely more frequent and and

01:01:42.140 just more in general so you know that's that's the key dude that's the key along with along with

01:01:49.500 along with being able to repeat the day one over and over you know dude people would come up to me

01:01:54.780 and they'd be like how do you how do you do three episodes a week of your podcast when i was doing it

01:01:59.100 yeah it's like bro are you kidding me you can't do three episodes a week yeah i don't care if you're

01:02:05.260 working another you can do three episodes a week if you commit yourself to it and you know you

01:02:09.820 hold a standard for yourself that's it yeah just we're doing three we're doing three yeah you could

01:02:14.940 do five you could do seven yeah you could do whatever the heck you want yeah it's not a like

01:02:19.740 people are so shocked at the smallest bit of success it's like you executing three episodes a week you

01:02:27.500 you know i most podcasts go to 20 episodes so you just do three episodes a week for five weeks six

01:02:37.020 weeks seven seven weeks by the seventh week you've done more podcast episodes than 99 of people that's

01:02:46.060 right that's right bro but most people when they start a podcast or whatever dude they buy five episodes

01:02:51.260 if they're not ranked in the top 100 they quit it's like bro do you understand there's millions of

01:02:55.740 podcasts it's the hardest social platform to get traction on by far yeah it's the hardest which

01:03:01.420 is why i don't do any of the other social i just do that right because i got the momentum there i'm

01:03:05.660 gonna stay there um dude let's talk about this what about your reading i love reading yeah so let's talk

01:03:13.420 about some of your favorite books man yeah so two books have changed my life forever uh map of

01:03:19.660 consciousness explained by david hawkins the surrender experiment by michael singer and those are two

01:03:27.660 books that reshaped who i was as a human being and helped me understand that there's

01:03:37.020 one thing is that love rules all and when i say love rules all 75 hard is the greatest example of giving

01:03:44.940 love to yourself every day so that you can give love to other people and i'm i'm not just talking

01:03:50.060 about love in this light and fairy way like the real practicality of love what does loving yourself

01:03:56.460 mean loving yourself means doing what you say you're going to do and holding a high standard for yourself

01:04:01.660 and what that book by david hawkins showed me is that the better that we can get at loving another

01:04:07.900 person the better we can get at showing love the more amazing things come into our lives so that starts

01:04:13.660 with who you are and what you do every single day which 75 hard show me the other book the surrender

01:04:19.740 experiment by michael singer told me that there's a lot going on here that we are not in control of

01:04:26.860 75 hard shows you you are in control of a lot of your life and you if you do the tasks every day you

01:04:33.500 can control how you feel but then there's also a lot that's happening that is outside my control i didn't

01:04:39.820 know on august 8 2024 i'd be here that's outside my control i just show up every day and do what i'm

01:04:44.860 supposed to do right i i don't control when i meet certain friends or how certain opportunities come

01:04:50.940 in you don't control that we all we do is show up how we can show up so surrender to what you don't

01:04:57.820 have control over is a really important thing that the surrender experiment by michael singer showed me

01:05:02.460 so those are two books i'm currently reading how champions think by dr bob rotella which is more in

01:05:07.580 the line of the habits the routines but what i love about this program in general is that it's

01:05:14.140 made me consistent with reading right i've always been somebody who would love reading but would be

01:05:21.180 inconsistent with it how do you think that's benefiting you it's made me realize that if i'm in the process

01:05:30.460 of reading i'm in the process of learning from somebody who took time out of their life to put

01:05:38.300 together these thoughts that were then edited by someone else over a period of years that now i'm

01:05:45.980 getting access to that information yeah reading and podcasting are examples of time travel yeah

01:05:51.820 absolutely dude somebody else is in a different place in a different time giving you information in

01:05:57.020 in that moment how is that not the coolest thing ever dude it's weird to me that people don't

01:06:01.900 understand how to value that kind of thing right like dude when you read a book okay when when i read

01:06:12.620 a book if i take and i'm not a very fast reader you know like i don't i don't mow through books they

01:06:18.380 i it takes me time to read and comprehend so i active read meaning i read things and i take notes

01:06:24.540 and i read parts of it and then i take notes dude i'm reading that entire book for one

01:06:29.980 fucking concept one thing i don't know what it is when i open the book but it's one thing and 0.96

01:06:36.620 whatever that one thing is i know is going to benefit my life immensely and probably make me a 0.98

01:06:43.660 whole bunch of money a whole bunch okay and it's weird to me how people don't value information

01:06:51.740 properly like right like if you're if you let's say bought an audio course from someone and it 0.86

01:06:57.900 costs two hundred dollars and it's fucking seven days long or whatever right i'm making this shit up 0.95

01:07:03.820 and you get one fucking concept out of that and it costs you 200 bucks and that concept over the 0.98

01:07:10.300 course of your life i mean dude what's that worth you see what i'm saying and i think whenever you 0.98

01:07:15.420 start to value reading and value information properly by understanding that like dude i'm not

01:07:21.420 trying to i'm not a book connoisseur where i'm trying to rate the book oh the whole book was

01:07:27.180 it was an a plus or it was a c i didn't like the way that his grammar was no we're looking for that

01:07:33.580 one or two things you know what i'm saying that are going to benefit us and and dude when we can take

01:07:38.700 someone's life and put it into a book like bro there's this book uh about sam walton it was the

01:07:45.420 first book i ever read it's called made in the usa or made in america sam walton first book i ever read

01:07:51.260 in my life which is kind of ironic because like here i'm not now i'm here i never intended to be

01:07:58.860 here when i was there but and but you read this book and it's this man the one of the greatest 0.94

01:08:07.740 entrepreneurs ever takes his whole fucking philosophy and puts it in a fucking 250 page 0.97

01:08:13.980 book this guy made walmart bro he revolutionized retail he made he his children are the richest 0.99

01:08:22.700 people in the fucking world right like if they didn't have it split up six seven different ways 0.95

01:08:27.660 it's the biggest empire ever created and um you know to to be able to read that in a couple hours 0.95

01:08:36.380 it's like you think what's that worth so you think you're not gonna learn something yeah from

01:08:41.180 the guy who created the thing that you see everywhere yeah it's like anybody yeah and dude 0.98

01:08:45.980 you can read a book about anybody's shit like bro you go read shoe dog you could read like whatever it 0.74

01:08:51.180 is you're trying to learn about man it's just a highly highly undervalued underutilized skill set 0.98

01:08:58.380 and i see a lot of people on the internet look i don't read well and i automatically think i'm like 1.00

01:09:02.460 well you're a dumb motherfucker then yeah because like dude you're turning your back to like complete 0.99

01:09:08.220 life lessons of some of the smartest people that have ever lived yeah and and what i love about the 1.00

01:09:13.500 program too the 10 pages often i'm reading 20 30 40 50 and it's the fact that i can know all right

01:09:21.260 10 is the baseline that's the minimum that we accept for ourselves hey when i'm in the process of

01:09:26.300 i'll finish this chapter i'll get to the next one and so there's something really magical about

01:09:31.900 10 pages is small enough where it seems so easy to to get done that i end up wanting to read more

01:09:38.700 yeah absolutely well brother listen man um we're gonna close the show but i'd like to give you a few

01:09:44.940 minutes to speak to the people about why they should do 75 hard i know you talk about it a lot but

01:09:51.500 you know just let it rip man and let people know what you think yeah man i there's no program that

01:09:58.700 i've come across that has changed more lives and more specifically changed my life than 75 hard and

01:10:04.700 the reason for that is build my discipline built my mental toughness and given me the tool that i need

01:10:09.980 to go back to anytime i want to become all i can be and i sit here before you today feeling the best

01:10:17.980 i've ever felt in my entire life feeling most energetic most alive most like myself and the

01:10:23.420 reason for that is because i've done 75 hard over and over and over and over again and failed and and

01:10:30.860 gone back to ways that i don't want to be but that's such a beautiful thing to know that it's always there

01:10:36.300 i'm always 30 days away from the person i want to be that's right and it's because 75 hard and so

01:10:41.660 i am i feel indebted to the program i will be talking about this program for the rest of my

01:10:47.660 life i will be doing this program for the rest of my life i will help people through this program

01:10:53.980 because i know who i've become as a result somebody who is loving who is caring who is disciplined who's

01:11:00.620 focused who's able to do what he says he's going to do who's able to help other people in the process

01:11:05.340 who's able to use his gifts and i just want everyone to experience what it feels like to live

01:11:13.020 in your purpose 100 of the time day by day by day action by action every moment getting a little bit

01:11:19.180 better a little bit better getting a little bit worse oh getting a lot bit better and over and over

01:11:24.220 and over again and i want everyone to experience that so i want everyone to do 75 hard because it
