00:03:43.680it's my safe space yeah man well guys let's get better today guys we got three good ones for you
00:03:48.700andy um guys andy question number one uh andy i'm the kind of person who spends hours agonizing
00:03:57.900over every little detail whether it's a work project or decorating my home it's exhausting
00:04:04.540and even when i finish something i rarely feel satisfied my friends tell me i'm too hard on myself
00:04:10.940but i feel like if i let go of my standards i'll be mediocre how can i learn to embrace imperfection
00:04:17.580without feeling like i'm settling for less let's get this kicked off andy well first of all uh
00:04:24.540perfection will keep you ignorant and unskilled okay if you were perfect all the time how could
00:04:31.660you learn how to be any better and this is something that people have a really hard time
00:04:35.660with they set out they want to do everything perfect which by the way you should want to do
00:04:40.540everything perfect but what happens is that they have a you know a hiccup or they have an obstacle or
00:04:46.060something doesn't go the way that they want and they refuse to acknowledge the value
00:04:50.860in that situation and the truth of the matter is over the course of your life over the course of your
00:04:57.340career the mistakes you make are much more valuable than the perfection that you execute upon
00:05:03.180because the mistakes that you make are the things that teach you the skills the resilience the grit the
00:05:09.340fortitude and everything that you need to know to be successful long term so instead of being upset
00:05:16.460that you're not perfect in the beginning you should be thankful that you're making these mistakes in
00:05:21.500the beginning when nobody's really paying attention to you because if you were to make those same mistakes
00:05:26.78020 years from now when you're running a hundred million dollar operation everybody's going to see
00:05:32.620them okay so and let's break this down further you can't get to a hundred million dollar operation
00:05:40.540being perfect because you're not going to be able to learn the skills that are required to
00:05:45.260operate at that level and then all the levels that come along the way so you're saying you will fail
00:05:51.260before you even get that yeah but but dude listen the reason that people struggle is because they
00:05:57.260don't put enough value on the failures that they have they're embarrassed they get upset they feel
00:06:04.140stupid they start having doubts but they don't realize that every single business and every single
00:06:09.100entrepreneur and every single person that they look up to the reason that you look up to them
00:06:14.060is very simple they are willing to go out they are willing to fall on their face over and over and
00:06:20.140over again they don't give a what anybody thinks about it they don't care what their friends say
00:06:24.300they don't care what the media says they don't care what anybody says they're willing to fall down
00:06:29.900on their face understanding that whatever happens past that they won't make that same mistake again and
00:06:35.820they keep moving being successful in anything is so simple it's just that people aren't willing to go
00:06:42.460through the process of being embarrassed in front of people who quite honestly aren't going to matter
00:06:48.940over the course of your life so instead of wanting to be perfect do your best to be perfect and then
00:06:57.100when you mess up instead of getting down on yourself instead of you know feeling bad instead of beating
00:07:03.500yourself up say hey all right that's good i learned that right here from this and i'll never make that
00:07:09.820mistake again and then when you're doing 10 20 50 100 200 500 million dollars and that same situation
00:07:18.220presents itself you're going to remember the last time i did that this is what happened and if i do
00:07:25.100that same thing now it's going to cost me this much more so look dude if you want to have a excruciating
00:07:32.140time being an entrepreneur try to be perfect and get mad at yourself every time you mess up if you want
00:07:37.900to enjoy the process and you want to enjoy it as much as you can because it is a brutal journey and
00:07:43.180it's very difficult and it's hard for everybody including you including me including anybody else
00:07:49.660learn to value the things that you're learning from the mistakes that you make just as much as you
00:07:55.500value the perfection that you happen to hit by accident along the way you know what i'm saying
00:08:02.460it is by accident yeah of course you you if you don't have the skills and you don't you know like
00:08:08.060you know there's a thing there you can you can hit a home run without being a good hitter swinging
00:08:13.340of bats yeah right like something look man you're gonna do things right sometimes that doesn't mean
00:08:18.700you're skilled so don't let your ego get out in front of you and think just because you've done
00:08:23.980a couple things in the beginning that you actually have the skills because the skills can only come from
00:08:29.260making mistakes over and over and over again or watching other people make mistakes and learning
00:08:34.460from their mistakes which is a great way to learn as well yeah you know andy you talk about you know
00:08:39.020even just like actualizing your own individual success like it's a it's a strive thing right like
00:08:45.100you're never actually going to reach that so you look at perfection pretty much the same way like you're
00:08:49.740not gonna really ever reach that fucking pivotal but you're always striving to get as close to it as possible
00:08:55.740right yeah i mean look dude we're on a time scale okay you're gonna run out of time eventually
00:09:02.380like the best entrepreneurs that i've ever met they act like they're gonna live forever you talk
00:09:07.100to these people that are in their 70s and they're talking for the next 30 years it's like bro you're
00:09:12.220gonna be in a box you know what i'm saying but like they don't think they don't think that way
00:09:17.340and like for example like if you took a guy like jeff bezos i think jeff bezos is around 60 or so
00:09:24.540right um you take a guy like bezos you take everything he knows right and you give him 30
00:09:30.860more years he's going to accomplish a whole bunch more but what's he going to learn in those 30 years
00:09:35.660and then if he were able to live to 200 what would he be able to accomplish because of what he's learned
00:09:41.260the last 30 years of his life so when you think about like what potential is for an individual
00:09:48.460you have to understand that it's capped only by the amount of time that we have and so
00:09:57.900if you actually subscribe to the idea of always improving always getting better
00:10:05.820actualizing your own potential like you said you're never going to be able to reach your potential
00:10:11.100because you're gaining skills along the way through the process that you don't have time to
00:10:15.740fucking execute on at the end of your life does that make sense so the day that you die
00:10:21.020if you've given it everything that you have you actually have more skill and more potential than
00:10:26.860you've ever had before which is why it's important to like transfer that knowledge as you go right um
00:10:33.740but it you know it's weird to think about but i think you know when you think about what you're going
00:10:40.060to be the most proud of as a driven individual and look dude we're not talking to regular joes here okay
00:10:45.180we're talking to driven people we have to we have to clarify that when you you guys who are driven
00:10:51.260individuals who are hungry who are the go-getters who want to win when you guys get out to uh you
00:10:57.900know the end of your life you're going to have regrets and the reality is is you get to choose
00:11:04.540through your actions what regrets you're going to have and for entrepreneurs and people who are driven
00:11:10.220to achieve build create um and who drive society in the proper direction those people are always going
00:11:18.620to ask themselves they're going to say well did i give it everything i had could i have done more
00:11:22.780what could i have done right and they're going to pay the price probably in some other areas of life
00:11:27.420all right that's the reality but that's the trade-off yeah you're going to have a trade dude you're not
00:11:31.660going to have it all everybody who says you're going to have it all is you're not going to have it all
00:11:35.900it's a trade so but certain people are wired for this kind of life and if you're the kind
00:11:42.300of person that's wired for that life a lot of reflection is going to come down to did i do
00:11:45.740everything i could to maximize what i'm wired to do and um if you subscribe to the idea of your
00:11:53.740potential always expanding and your skill set always expanding uh you know you're you're going
00:11:59.260to be proud of what you did because you're going to say yeah i continue to improve i continue to
00:12:03.020innovate i continue to reinvent myself i continue to push i continue to create i continue to build
00:12:08.300and i did that my whole life and i did everything i could with the amount of time that i was given
00:12:11.980and dude that's that's a noble thing because most people don't live that way yeah and then if you
00:12:15.980take that same idea and you apply it to let's say your relationship or you apply it to your
00:12:21.340friendships or you apply it to your family you can really have a really good uh well-rounded life
00:12:27.340without feeling like you have too many regrets like you're always going to have some regrets man you
00:12:31.500know i missed a couple of those soccer games or you know whatever it is right but um but there's
00:12:37.900a trade-off for the quality of life that you're gonna have for the things that you know you're
00:12:43.660gonna ultimately regret and that's just reality there's no way to get out of your life without
00:12:49.100looking back and being like fuck i should have handled that different yeah i think and i think too
00:12:54.140for most for majority of people that conversation that that's talk happens at the end of it right
00:12:59.900for sure if you're lucky though you have the awareness well you have some near-death experiences
00:13:05.500you know bro also push that i'll tell you this i mean look man every enlightened person that is like
00:13:13.180totally gets it they've always had some sort of near-death experience yeah like because you're
00:13:17.900having that conversation right there okay so when i got stabbed when i was 23 it was people people get
00:13:24.780like so weird when i say dude was the best thing that ever happened to me well the reason one of
00:13:29.980the reasons there was a lot of reasons it humbled me it taught me a lot taught me how to treat people
00:13:34.460better there's a whole lot of things but one of the main things that it taught me is that your time is
00:13:39.100finite and when that happened i went from like kind of being like i'm just be real kind of like a tub of
00:13:45.980shit you know really not giving too much effort into my life kind of like you know it'll work itself out
00:13:52.220to being an aggressively driven individual because of that because i'm like fuck dude that could be
00:13:58.540taken away from me in a second i don't know when that's going to happen so i'm going to
00:14:01.740fucking go hard right and everybody i know that has gone super super hard they all you can always
00:14:08.380trace it back to something where their uh mortality was in jeopardy yeah you know and that conversation
00:14:15.420came real like your shit if i'm gone right now what did i do yeah that's right dude yeah man that's
00:14:20.540right i love it man i love it so so don't be satisfied always works to do better and learn
00:14:25.980from the mistakes i love it man guys andy question number two hey andy i'm currently on day 27 of 75
00:14:33.900hard i am learning so much about myself and my self-discipline i have worked in health care for
00:14:40.380over 25 years in different genres long-term care day treatment nursing homes and patient psych and
00:14:46.700most recently in hospitals i'm not a clinician but a manager of over 250 volunteers in a prestigious
00:14:53.340academic medical center i'm really good at what i do and i have picked up so much knowledge along the
00:14:59.260way i have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree and i know i can do more the other day i listened to
00:15:06.060my boss voice and reached out to the ceo and chief human resources office officer for the entire system
00:15:12.940uh to ask them their thoughts of going back to school to attain a higher level within the system
00:15:19.100so i now have a meeting with the chief hr officer to discuss my qualifications and what i can do
00:15:25.420i know i can do more and i'm wondering if you have any advice for me that i can use in my upcoming
00:15:31.180meeting thanks in advance well first of all you can do even more than that like you guys have to
00:15:39.500understand all right all these people that you look up to all these people that you think have
00:15:44.700these special skills or they're in these uh super high achievement areas of life these people very
00:15:53.020few of them have any special skills that you don't have most of these people are just regular people
00:15:59.820they are people just like you bro they put their pants on like you they have problems just like you
00:16:05.420they get frustrated they get angry they get disappointed they get excited they do stupid
00:16:10.780shit just like you okay there's no difference and we make a mistake as humans when we look at other
00:16:18.140people and we say they have something that i don't or they must be more qualified than me or they must be
00:16:25.420smarter than me or they come from a better family or they were born with more advantages and we're
00:16:31.420experts at telling ourselves all these reasons as to why other people are and we aren't okay and we
00:16:39.020have to get out of that habit because every single great thing that's ever been created in the history
00:16:46.220of the world was created by a human being and guess what you are you are a human being just like them you
00:16:55.740have access to more information to more skill set to faster learning than anybody who has ever existed
00:17:04.940before you in the history of earth so what is it about you that makes you incapable compared to
00:17:11.820everybody else and i'm going to give you the answer the answer is nothing the answer is the belief in
00:17:17.900your ability to achieve and become things that nobody you have ever seen in your own
00:17:25.900universe has done and that is our limiting beliefs we look at everybody we know personally and we
00:17:33.260look at them and we say okay well that's the most successful guy i know he's a doctor he makes
00:17:39.340four hundred thousand dollars a year or makes seven hundred thousand dollars a year he's got a nice house
00:17:44.940he drives a mercedes that is the limit of what i could maybe do and i'm probably way below that because
00:17:51.740he's a doctor okay so we are and what are we told growing up we're told these things think about in
00:17:59.260school dude when you're a little bitty kid your parents if you had decent parents they'll tell you
00:18:05.740you could be anything you want you could be the president one day right but then you go to school
00:18:11.180and in first grade second grade third grade you know they'll entertain that but by the time you're in
00:18:16.220fifth sixth seventh grade they've started the process of indoctrinating you into your own
00:18:22.940limitations they've started telling you hey dj i know you said you wanted to be a president but
00:18:29.020you need to be more realistic okay we need we need to we need to get you you know maybe you could work
00:18:34.300at 7-eleven you know that'd be a you could be the president of 7-eleven and they start telling you all
00:18:38.700this and instilling doubt in you and bro these are the this is what's wrong with education system
00:18:44.460we we deal and by the way it's not just the education system it's our culture okay your parents
00:18:50.300will start telling you that they'll start telling you well you better you better figure it out because
00:18:55.020you got to you only got a few more years left till you're out on your own and they start putting all
00:18:59.180this extra pressure and and doubt inside of us and then we get to high school right and we're like
00:19:05.260you know little dj is like well i want to be president and you tell your friends that and
00:19:08.460they make fun of you and they throw you in the locker right so so over the course of time our
00:19:14.300dreams our goals our aspirations our belief in ourself is watered down by the environment that we
00:19:22.220all grow up in and i believe like we talk about on cti that that environment is intentionally created for
00:19:28.140the prep of the proposition of controlling the population all right wait listen to tuesdays and
00:19:34.060friday shows for that come back tomorrow for that one yeah but the point is guys is that you don't
00:19:39.020really have limits you have what you have been told your limits are and you have chosen to believe
00:19:45.740that those are your limits and that's why you have this problem going for the things you really want
00:19:51.340and instead going for the things that are more realistic yeah right like man i'd really like to have
00:19:57.980that that you know that 40 ounce ribeye but i'll take that three ounce fucking strip steak instead
00:20:05.820it's almost the same thing no it's not there's a big fucking difference okay and there's a big difference
00:20:10.700and you settling for this mediocre position and you actually going for what you want to be so so i say all
00:20:18.220that to say this i think it's great that you're you're taking initiative i think it's great that you are starting to move in the right direction i salute you i think that you are starting to move in the right direction
00:20:25.980right direction i salute you i think it's amazing i think you need to continue on the live hard program
00:20:31.420for a number of years because the more years you do it the more belief you will instill in yourself
00:20:37.100with the idea that you're going to get to a place where you're going to go to the max distance of what you
00:20:41.340really want and that's what my suggestion would be for you take the baby step right now you're already in
00:20:48.380the process of it but don't make that the step that's a stepping stone to where you really want
00:20:54.140to be and i would start thinking about where you really want to be and start taking action for what
00:20:58.860you really want to do because big dreams create big action which create big results and little dreams
00:21:05.180create little action which creates a little bitty life that we end up regretting so you're much better
00:21:11.340than you think you are and you need to remember that most of the doubt and most of the things that you
00:21:16.220struggle with were installed in you by people around you who have already given up on what
00:21:21.420their life could have been and they want you to do so as well because it makes them feel more
00:21:26.300comfortable about their mediocre existence right it's all people who who limited themselves correct
00:21:31.340passing that yes it's crazy yeah bro it's crazy it's everybody yeah do you know how many people told
00:21:36.540me over the course of my life okay i'm 45 years old you know i don't even want to say what i'm worth
00:21:42.700because people get pissed but it ain't nine figures yeah right okay it's more than that doing all
00:21:46.860right yeah i've built a bunch of different companies been very successful done a lot of
00:21:51.900big things and i was i was the dumbest ever if you go back in grade school everybody
00:21:58.300made fun of me i got picked on in high school i was a cd student you know no there's not a single
00:22:03.980teacher that i ever had ever that would would have said andy versell is going to turn out like
00:22:10.060i have turned out not a single one and that's no disrespect to them okay because i didn't figure
00:22:15.020it out till after that and if i had looked at me in high school i would say the same but i got to
00:22:19.340a point where i'm like you know what dude i don't want any of these motherfuckers lives right i just
00:22:24.780don't and that's that's and that is not me looking my nose down to whatever someone chooses for
00:22:30.700themselves that's just not what i wanted okay i wanted to make a lot of money i wanted to be
00:22:36.220successful i wanted to travel i wanted to have nice i wanted to build companies that is what i
00:22:42.060chose for myself and i didn't let anybody talk me out of it like when people would say you know
00:22:47.180little remarks and things like dude you're a little vitamin shop or this or that like bro i never for
00:22:51.980one time did i think like all we're going to be is a little vitamin shop i would get like pissed
00:22:57.340and i would look at the in my head and i'd be like dude
00:23:00.780fuck you yeah like i'm going to show you bro watch this yeah and and and i and we've done it
00:23:06.380you know and sales wired the same way my business partners are all anybody i'm in business with has
00:23:11.180that chip on their shoulder yeah don't believe in us bro fucking doubt us fucking make fun of us
00:23:16.940laugh giggle make remarks please do because i take all of that shit and i turn it into productive energy
00:23:23.660and i end up stepping on your fucking throat with that so we have to learn as individuals
00:23:30.700to take all the negativity and disbelief and doubt and limits that people put on us and turn it into
00:23:36.460real action and shove it down their fucking throats that's what you have to do if you can't do that you
00:23:41.900won't succeed because you get so much negativity and so much limiting belief and so much doubt so much
00:23:48.300bullshit that happens over the course of the journey that you're on that if you can't take
00:23:53.500it and turn it into productive action it's going to wear you down bro and you it'll crush you so you
00:24:00.140have to have it it's not an option and we have these people who say all this idealistic shit on
00:24:04.940the internet uh don't do it to prove them wrong do it to prove them right what the fuck have you done
00:24:11.580you see what i'm saying bro like bro we have this scenario where people want to make
00:24:15.740there's nobody that that's that tough that can take all of that criticism all of that pain all of
00:24:22.940that doubt all of that shit and fucking just wear it and not use it you have to use it we only have
00:24:29.340so much energy available to us we have positive energy hey i believe in you hey you're qualified you
00:24:36.540bro listen you can do this okay there's that and then there's what the fuck are you thinking bro that's
00:24:42.380not for people like you what you better be realistic dude you're gonna be broke now let me ask you
00:24:48.060there's fucking six people in this room do you get more positive or do you get more negative you're
00:24:53.340gonna get way more negative bro what do you what do you guys get every single motherfucker in here has
00:24:58.620gotten more negative than positive well if you can only use the small amount of positive and you
00:25:03.580can't use a negative you're missing out on most of the energy required to get where you want to go
00:25:07.820so you have to learn to have that chip on your shoulder and you have to learn how to process
00:25:12.620negativity in order to produce the positive outcome that you're looking to create yeah i want to hit on
00:25:18.140this man because i think it's important you you said you know you like and we don't want to look down
00:25:23.660on anybody if that's what they chose to do problem is most people are settling in their lives no mo you're
00:25:30.220listen i'm saying you're correct here's what you're saying and i agree with you i have no problem
00:25:37.660with anybody in fact i admire people who are living the way they want to live if it's actually their
00:25:43.580choice if it's genuine and authentically what they want yeah bro but there's so but that's not most
00:25:49.740people most people settle and then pretend that that's what they actually wanted so that they can be
00:25:56.300noble you know i'm you know i i could have done all that but you know i i chose to bro i watched
00:26:02.460you you didn't do shit you laid on your couch and off you didn't try to do anything right and you got
00:26:07.980what you got and now you're pretending like that's what you wanted right you're lying in that yeah yeah
00:26:13.260bro listen they're it's all yeah most people never become anything because they're lazy they don't
00:26:20.460believe in themselves they weren't willing to take a risk and put in work that doesn't have a
00:26:24.780guaranteed outcome and then at the end of their life they get to look at themselves in the mirror
00:26:28.860and be like i didn't do shit and that's their that's their trade-off so they get a comfortable
00:26:34.460life and a hard pill to swallow at the end of it yeah man and by comfortable i don't mean comfortable
00:26:40.380i just mean like lazy comfortable yeah right right like they still gonna have high amounts of
00:26:44.140discomfort you know that's the other thing people don't understand escape that it's gonna be
00:26:47.820fucking hard no matter what dude like it's going to be hard whether you put in all the work to
00:26:53.500become successful or whether you don't put any of the work and you fucking struggle your whole life
00:26:57.420it's you know i actually am the first fucking person that said choose your heart back into
00:27:02.140i got the meme to prove it now everybody says it right but it is what it is lots of
00:27:06.940shit that i said original but yeah dude you choose your heart you can either fucking choose the path of
00:27:11.980hard work and you know bear fruit or you could choose the path of being lazy and it's going to be a hard
00:27:17.500life and that's it yeah i love it man guys andy let's do our third and final question and you've got
00:27:22.620question number three uh hey andy i'm 25 and near bankruptcy i started a business a few years ago uh
00:27:32.780in video production and quickly worked my way up uh to 250 000 a year being the only one in the business
00:27:40.300over the past few months i let my ego get the best of me uh and i have no money left i'm behind on
00:27:46.540taxes sixty thousand dollars in credit card debt spent it all on going out and expensive purchases
00:27:51.980and i got lazy and overweight uh lost quite a few clients and businesses slow over the winter but i am
00:27:57.740working my way back what advice do you have for me or other entrepreneurs who have self-sabotaged
00:28:05.260after getting their first success thank you guys i hope this one makes it on the pot and i think
00:28:09.580others can relate self-sabotage how do you what do you do after that moment you realize you didn't
00:28:13.580self-sabotage bro you just didn't know how to handle any kind of good shit happening okay it's a
00:28:18.700it's a normal lesson that's a normal lesson of entrepreneurship the difference is most people
00:28:23.420let that bury them and then they say fuck i tried being an entrepreneur and it didn't work
00:28:27.820okay that's you're at least saying all right i recognize what i did uh i got fat i got lazy i let
00:28:34.620my ego fucking think i was the man and i spent all my money and now i'm gonna fucking shit storm
00:28:39.500right i can respect that i respect the honesty and the fact that you're willing to own it says that
00:28:45.100you know i don't think you'll do that again right and that's a valuable lesson so let's go back to the
00:28:49.980question that i we asked question number one how valuable is that lesson for you to be sixty thousand
00:28:56.300dollars in debt instead of 60 million in debt 10 years from now right okay so you're learning a very
00:29:02.060valuable lesson that is going to be relatively cheap and i know it doesn't feel that way right
00:29:06.300now but it's going to be relatively cheap for you to learn versus what it would cost you in 5 10 15
00:29:12.380years so first off i'd be thankful that you're an idiot and that you're an idiot now and not later
00:29:19.180okay secondly i would take out a piece of paper and i would write the lesson right there on the piece
00:29:25.180of paper in a big ass fucking sharpie marker and i'd tape that on your bathroom mirror and everywhere you
00:29:30.860need to see it because if you have the tendency to do this you're going to have the tendency to do it
00:29:36.380again okay because you are playing the entrepreneur game for the wrong reasons and you need to adjust
00:29:43.100those reasons and what i mean by that is this you are playing to to fund a lifestyle and you need to be
00:29:52.060playing to create impact and value in your customer base and if you create impact and value in your
00:29:58.700customer base you will make so much money that your lifestyle won't be a problem so let's take the
00:30:04.140moat let's be honest about your motivation because you didn't make much money bro i mean i know that
00:30:08.060you think you made a lot of money but you think you made you didn't right right okay and then you
00:30:12.220figure out a way to fucking spend it you need to understand that if you really want to have a great
00:30:20.060lifestyle you got to take the focus off of yourself and you got to put it on your people you got to put it
00:30:24.300on your company and the rest of that will take care of itself okay so let's make that adjustment
00:30:29.500right now let's make a conscious uh you know point to not make this mistake again and let's start
00:30:38.140digging it out and you say okay well what do i do to dig out well fuck bro you got to start chipping
00:30:43.500away you know there's no there's no magic success fairies could fly down and give you a check for a
00:30:47.980hundred grand to get you out of your hole that's it you're going to have to go you're going to have
00:30:51.820to do the work i would recommend getting on the live hard program starting 75 hard getting your
00:30:57.260fat ass back in shape getting your mental sharp and everything else will follow that let me ask you
00:31:02.860this andy because i i've heard this before i don't think you've ever really talked about this but
00:31:08.700what is the right way to win meaning like how do you celebrate the win like the right way like
00:31:14.220winners know how to win right like act like you've been here before my coach used to tell me that all
00:31:17.900the time act like you've been here before right what's the appropriate way to do it
00:31:21.820in in success i mean let's be real dude do you see fucking jeff bezos or elon musk or
00:31:26.620fucking any do you see me or fucking anybody in the club popping bottles and acting like they're
00:31:31.980fucking first time they ever got a fucking dollar right do you see that not at all right because it
00:31:37.580ain't and i don't know anybody that's successful that acts like a like some of these fuckers online
00:31:43.180like you know like the shit they do we're fucking it's embarrassing and it makes them look like amateurs
00:31:49.100so yeah um you know be classy be cool reward yourself you know but realize that you know people
00:31:57.740the people that don't like you aren't gonna like you no matter what you do so you gotta do what you
00:32:01.020like you know what i'm saying like there's a lot of people that fucking don't like me because i drive
00:32:05.740fucking cool ass shit and i fucking post on the internet but you know why i do that because there's
00:32:10.460a lot of people that are young andy's out there they're gonna think that shit's awesome and be
00:32:15.100aspiring to fucking kick ass because they're like fuck okay if i go kick ass i could drive a cool
00:32:19.420car i could drive a bunch of them i could drive a different one every day of the month you know
00:32:22.860what i'm saying like i can live on a fucking historic you know like it's inspiring bro and
00:32:28.940you know there's a difference between inspiring and just being a fucking jackass you know like these
00:32:35.020dudes on the internet throwing money in the air and shit you know it's not like it's a fine line
00:32:38.700like it's it's a pretty big one yeah it's just don't be a douchebag yeah that's what it comes
00:32:43.420down to i love it man yeah i i look dude this guy here you got a long way before you should be buying
00:32:49.020any cars spending money on vacations or club like dude i see man no that's bro they need the internet
00:32:58.700the internet's a really hard place because it causes people who are doing pretty good
00:33:05.580to do really dumb shit that keeps them from doing better like you know like you know like
00:33:12.140buying buying exotic car too early i gotta get a watch yes or traveling private when it's
00:33:18.620fucking a hundred times more expensive too early uh just so you could take a picture for the instagram
00:33:24.620like dude that shit will bury your fucking ass you know what i mean and the truth of the matter is is
00:33:29.900like you know if i you know i don't know i just i just i just think you should live below your means
00:33:38.540for as long as you fucking possibly can and that's it i love it yeah i love it guys forever yeah like
00:33:45.740bro like these people that you see living in a uh 20 million dollar house and having fucking you know
00:33:51.74030 million dollars a car you don't realize how much money those motherfuckers have made they're living
00:33:56.540within their means you just don't get it well below it yeah you you have never conceptualized
00:34:03.580the amount of money that you can make if you went out and built something real
00:34:08.060and because of that you think that other people that are wealthy are spending all their money on
00:34:12.620lifestyle and shit when they're not they're spending a small percentage on it and then they're
00:34:16.620using their money to create more money which pays for their life you see what i'm saying for sure
00:34:22.140and it's unfortunate you know i'm i'm pretty thankful that you know i built most of my uh
00:34:29.100the base and the foundation of of of my success personally before social media really took off
00:34:36.700uh and then i was able to leverage those skill sets into digital but one thing that i had that
00:34:43.820that these other guys don't have is i didn't have
00:34:45.900you know 200 fucking knuckleheads in my in my face every day with lamborghinis and
00:34:53.340fucking flashy watches and shit like distracting me like i didn't have that like i i was
00:35:00.700i had tony robbins books yeah i think that's a perfect word to distraction yeah like i never felt
00:35:05.580like i never felt like oh fuck i need to buy this watch because he has this watch or i need to go out
00:35:10.780and you know sacrifice the growth of my company because i need this car like that was never
00:35:16.860that was never a thing for me because the internet wasn't what it is today and now we have a lot of
00:35:22.140people who you know they compare themselves to these motherfuckers online and as you guys are seeing more
00:35:27.500and more and more of these guys are getting caught up in lawsuits and federal cases and indictments
00:35:33.740and it's just showing you like this isn't real they're not real like if they haven't built a real
00:35:38.540company if they they don't have employees and they haven't built multiple companies and you
00:35:43.180can't order their products and you and you know you can't see what they built you can't experience
00:35:49.180their company like motherfucker you shouldn't be fucking paying them for business advice you just
00:35:54.780shouldn't like why the fuck would you do that you see what i'm saying and we have a lot of people
00:36:01.740who don't know any better and it's sad and this is this is part of the reason why i'm starting
00:36:05.340an mfco project again because for the last four years and by the way we're keeping this show going
00:36:10.380it's going to be on an app but for the last four years we focused on dude cultural awareness like
00:36:15.980hey if we fucking lose here there ain't going to be an opportunity for any fertile soil well now we're
00:36:20.860going to get our fertile soil back and people young people are going to have to learn how to really
00:36:24.540win so i want to turn my focus back because i have built a number of very real things
00:36:29.180um to to training these younger people how to actually build things and actually win
00:36:36.060not just this hocus pocus fucking bullshit you know because dude for us to keep this country
00:36:42.300it's very you know we talk about this all the time dude you gotta have the soil and then you
00:36:46.380gotta plant the seeds and harvest out of it and we were about to have soil that would never allow us
00:36:51.340to plant seeds and and harvest out of it and now we are going to have that and you guys need to learn
00:36:56.540how to plant and fucking harvest and so that's that's what i'm going to do and and i was called
00:37:01.100to do it uh i felt called to do it again because i see so much fucking garbage out there of people
00:37:09.420being misled and taken advantage of and taught things that aren't real by people who've never
00:37:14.540done anything because they they you know it's because of what they see on the internet like bro
00:37:19.260it's not it it yeah no it's not it man well would you rather would you rather look like you have
00:37:28.140money or would you rather have money i'd rather have no no shit bro yeah obviously and that's that's
00:37:32.300the problem with instagram right now so well guys maybe it's a hell of a way to start a monday
00:37:38.300yeah all right guys we'll see you tomorrow on cti don't forget don't be a hoe show the show
00:37:47.260fucker bowl fucker stole counted millions in the code bad bitch booted swole got her on bank road
