On this episode of Q&A, DJ and Andy talk about snow, ice, and how to deal with it. Also, DJ reveals a new project he has been working on for the last 3 years and it's coming soon.
00:00:00.000What is up guys? It's Andy Purcell and this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:25.140Guys, today we have Q and AF. That's where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. You can submit your questions a plethora of ways. DJ, go ahead and tell them how they can do that.
00:00:39.360Yeah guys, you can start by emailing your questions and to askandy at andyfricella.com. If that doesn't work for you, you can check the link in the description below and submit your questions for a chance to be on our call ins.
00:00:51.840If that does not work for you, you can always leave your questions in the comments on the Q and AF episodes on the tube.
00:00:57.720That's Q and AF. Now tomorrow, well actually tonight, you're going to see a CTI. All right. CTI is where we cruise the internet. That's where we put topics on the screen. We speculate on what's going on. We joke around and then we talk about how we need to solve these problems going on in the world.
00:01:16.240Um, and again, that's live now and you will see that at 7 PM tonight. So tune in tonight and you will see that. Then throughout the week, we're going to have real talk, real talk, just five to 20 minutes of real talk. We do this occasionally. We don't do it every week. And then occasionally as well, we have 75 hard verses. That's where people who have completed the 75 hard program come on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now and how they use the 75 hard program to become the ultimate version of themselves.
00:01:44.240If you're unfamiliar with 75 hard is the initial phase of the live hard program, which is the world's most popular mental transformation program ever. And, uh, you can get that for free at episode two zero eight on the audio feed. Again, that's two zero eight on the audio feed only. There's also a book. The book is available. Andy for seller.com. It's called the book on mental toughness. It has the entire live hard program, plus a whole bunch of other chapters on mental toughness, why it's important, how to cultivate it.
00:02:14.240And how to use it in your life to become the ultimate version of you. Uh, that book is not free, but it is very in depth and people seem to really like it. So, uh, if you're the kind of person that needs to know all the, uh, ins and outs, that's definitely the route to go. But again, you can get it for free also at episode two zero eight on the audio feed. Now there is something here that we haven't asked. The ask is very simple. If you like the show, if it gives you good value, if it makes you laugh, it makes you think, if it gives you a new perspective, if you think it's entertaining,
00:02:44.240do us a favor and, uh, don't be a hoe share the show. All right. What's happening, dude. We got snow. Yeah, we do. Yeah. Snow. It's cold too. It is really cool. Like real cold, but the snow makes me happy, man. Yeah. You know, it's, it's, uh, it was, it was nice. It was real snow though. Like we got like that wet, sloppy shit.
00:03:06.240Well, usually that's not a bad thing. Yeah. When it comes to snow, it's, uh, it's, it's not the best. So yeah, I'm not, I'm not really same. Same. Yeah. I'm not down with the, with the, with that kind of snow. Yeah. It does get dirty. Yeah. It's a little, then, you know, when it freezes, you gotta be careful. Cause you got the, the ice out there. That's right. That black ice. That's right. The racist ice.
00:03:30.560Get it. Yep. Yeah. That's the one that's hurting all the people. The black ice. You never hear white ice. People fall down. Half of the hospital fall injury comes from black ice.
00:03:45.700Okay. 13% of the ice creating 70% of the violent falls.
00:03:51.880Anyway, that's, that's for tonight. Let's get serious. This is a serious show. Yeah. This is make people better, dude. I do have a serious announcement. I do have a serious announcement. The MS CEO project that you guys have been wanting back for the last, however many years that we've been working on for the last three years is coming back. And if you're interested in getting that podcast, it will not be hosted publicly.
00:04:21.300It will be a private podcast. Um, you can get on the list for that. If you go to Andy for seller.com forward slash MF CEO. And, uh, we will be notifying you this Sunday, December 7th about all the details regarding that. So keep an eye out for that and need to go get registered. If you're interested in that, because, uh, we won't be posting it public. And, uh, the only way to get it is to be on that list. So yeah, it's going to be so fucking sick.
00:04:50.580Andy for seller.com forward slash MF CEO. It's going to be great. Yeah, it is going to be great, dude. I'm excited. You know, when we switched over to real AF, it was because I recognized that the environment of our ability to become successful was being drastically affected, uh, by a lot of this push for control.
00:05:13.580Control and intentional poverty. And all of these things have happened over the last five, five years or so. And we're getting back to the point where everybody's aware of it.
00:05:25.320And I'm not saying we're going to, we're not going to quit doing real AF. We really enjoy it, but, uh, it's time to get back to some real tactics and getting people, you know, doing the things that are going to make them successful. Not just making them realize that they are the answer to the problems they see in the society. So it's going to be really, really cool.
00:05:45.040There is, there is, there is, it's not just the podcast, dude. We've been building this project for the last three years obsessively to what I believe will be the, one of the biggest products in human history when it's all said and done.
00:06:03.480So I'm very excited to show it to people. Uh, and we will be talking to you about the first phase of that, um, Sunday. Yeah. So this coming Sunday, it's going to be great. So again, Andy for cello.com forward slash MFC. So exciting, man. Yeah. I'm going to be fucking great. I'm excited too. Yeah. It's going to be awesome guys. Um, to, no surprise. Yeah. I have three good ones for you. All right. Good. Yeah. We're going to do a little OG. Got some good write-ins, man. We got, uh, no call-ins today. No call-ins.
00:06:33.400We're going to do some write-ins and, uh, but we got some really good ones for you, bro. So, uh, let's make some people better guys. Andy question. Number one, Andy, I created a system to make the company better in my free time and was promoted for it. Um, things are going great, but on projects, I'm told to scale back on the work that I do. How do I find the balance between leading from the front and not delegating enough?
00:07:02.380So I guess now you got a leadership position. Is delegation the true, like, is that the best thing to do when you become a leader?
00:07:09.820I mean, it's a part of it. You know, um, I think a lot of people try to do one or the other. They either try to do everything themselves or they try to delegate everything. Yeah. And neither one of those are that effective. Okay. Um, it's about finding the right balance between what to delegate, how to delegate, who to delegate it to, and then understanding how much input and how much oversight these people need from you.
00:07:39.820With the goal of eventually getting them to the point where they do these things automatically and they understand what needs to be done. So if you run into a situation as a leader where you're constantly jumping in, you're constantly fixing all the problems, you're constantly calling all the plays. What happens is, is that your team never develops. Okay.
00:08:01.820Okay. Your team never, never learns why we do certain things. And when you don't allow them to develop their own expertise, you end up with just a bunch of doers and not a bunch of effective autonomous members of your organization that can solve problems and do things at scale.
00:08:21.440Okay. And this is micromanaging. Yes. This is a big problem with most small business owners because they cannot find that right balance. The opposite of that is that when they delegate everything, because let's say they want to, you know, be detached from the business for whatever reason, and you don't provide any of the insight, you end up with ideas and decisions that are made that may not align
00:08:51.440putting in putting in any input. All right. So there's pluses and minuses to both sides. But the idea that you ultimately need to come to the realization that you ultimately need to come to is that this is a balance of both of these skill sets.
00:09:07.380And it's not one or the other. It's knowing when and why and how to delegate. It's also knowing when and why and how to put your hands on things to make sure they're going the right direction. And this becomes increasingly difficult for people who are not the founder, owner, equity partner, CEO, operator of the business, because they start to believe, at least initially, that if they make the wrong decision,
00:09:37.380that they're going to be punished for it. And so you have to cultivate an environment where decisions are allowed to be made, but also with enough oversight for you to teach them along the way. Right. And we just have very few leaders that that understand that because typically either they want to do everything because I know best and my way is the best and I can do it better than you, which is not good leadership. Yeah.
00:10:06.120OK. It doesn't allow people to develop. It doesn't allow people to become owners of the project, meaning they did the project. They feel good. They develop. They build the confidence, which makes them better.
00:10:18.160And then the opposite of that is also true. You know, when you let them run without any oversight at all, they also don't get any better because they don't have the experience. They don't understand what what's trying to be done big picture.
00:10:32.280And so what typically happens is they make decisions that are based in how they feel right now versus what the big picture game plan is. So, you know, this is a big balancing act, so to speak, that you have to learn the nuance of in order to become an effective leader, whether that's you're at the top or the bottom.
00:10:53.080And as an operator, when I say top or bottom, I mean, like you're whether you're the CEO or the owner or whether you're upper management or whether you're middle management or whatever, that this skill set is something that you have to develop at all those levels to be valuable.
00:11:08.460And if you don't have that skill set, you're not a real leader. That's the thing. Okay. And you can perform very well and still not be a good leader. Okay. There's lots of ways to do that. And that tricks a lot of people. People think that when sales are going good, when things are moving in the right direction, they automatically assume that that means that they're doing everything right that they could be doing.
00:11:34.240No, that could be a lot of other things. It could just be that the market's ready for your product. It could be that you have the right product at the right place at the right time and it's going. It has no reflection on you. So we have to understand that there's all these elements that can give us false feedback. I call it feedback mirage, feedback that appears to be real, but actually isn't. That causes us to make decisions that aren't actually accurate.
00:11:56.980So when we think about this in terms of the value in a middle management or upper management position, the real value of that position is not just performance, but it's the most valuable thing that they can do is the ability to replicate their own skill set amongst their team.
00:12:18.960And a lot of people don't do this because they get scarcity mindset in terms of leadership capital, meaning I'm not going to teach my team how to be as good as me because then they'll be better than me and take my job.
00:12:33.240That's right. And that's not actually true. If you're in an organization that understands what you're doing, if you're in a good organization and you're replicating your skill set and you're a talented individual, skilled individual,
00:12:45.520and you're replicating this across the standard, bro, you're the most valuable motherfucker they got because that's the rarest skill that you could have is the ability to replicate yourself into other people.
00:12:58.020And that doesn't occur with either one of those scenarios of saying, okay, you can run free or, okay, I'm going to oversee every little fucking decision that you make.
00:13:09.560Right. And then there's also times where it does require you to step in and make the decisions.
00:13:15.240Like when they get so far off track that they can't see where we're going, that's okay. Now we've got to get back in.
00:13:21.480Or like in the beginning of an organization, when you're developing the brand, you're developing the systems, you're developing all of the, you know, things that are going to actually build your business.
00:13:33.300You don't delegate that out to your team. You put your hands on it and get the system set and people run inside the system.
00:13:39.560So there's a lot of confusion around this. There's a lot of dumb shit that you read online about this.
00:13:46.620You know, it's similar to that conversation where people say, it's not about working hard. It's about working smart.
00:13:52.540Well, I've never met someone who works smart and not hard that is actually fucking successful.
00:13:57.740Okay. Most of the people, when they hear work smart, not hard, they hear, okay, well, I don't have to work hard.
00:14:04.400I could just think my way through it. And that's not reality. You need both.
00:14:07.400Okay. So to anybody who's ever achieved anything, when you see these knuckleheads on the internet,
00:14:13.320say things like that, like work hard or work smart, not hard. I mean, just frankly, they sound like
00:14:20.520fucking idiots. Okay. Like, and it's weird to me how many people pay other people to give them advice
00:14:28.280like this. And, uh, unfortunately for you guys, I've developed something where you're never going
00:14:33.040to need any of them again. So that's real. Yeah. So the reality of this is, is that it's a balance.
00:14:39.280It's a skillset that you must develop. You're not always going to make the right decision,
00:14:43.080but just like everything else that we talk about on the show, when you make the wrong decision,
00:14:48.360you just have to be smart enough to recognize and humble enough to recognize that you made the wrong
00:14:53.340call there and to not make that call in the same position again and make the adjustment. So
00:14:58.680leadership, I think a lot of people are really confused by it because they think,
00:15:03.040you know, in culture, man, we've been brought up to believe that, you know, Oh my God,
00:15:09.460you know, this guy's just such a good leader because he's charismatic. There's lots of great
00:15:14.540leaders that can't stand on stage and give a talk or be charismatic. It's, it has nothing to do
00:15:21.000with that. That's just an additional tool that if you have, it'll help you, but that doesn't make
00:15:26.280you a leader. Like a charismatic individual is not by default a leader, but a leader with charisma is
00:15:33.580much more effective. So there's all kinds of things like this and there's all kinds of paradoxes like
00:15:39.040this that exist. And you, the only way you could know that is if you've been down the path, you know,
00:15:44.500you're not going to know that if you've not built anything real, which is 99% of these,
00:15:50.420these idiots on the internet. Right. And these young kids that don't know any better, they think,
00:15:55.080Oh man, I want to be 23 and have that car and shit. And it's just, you know, they don't see that
00:16:00.780two years down the road, that guy's going to be out of the game exposed as a fraud has never done
00:16:06.840anything. And honestly, dude, it's a predatory problem that we have on the internet of bad information
00:16:12.320being sold to people. That sounds good. That's not effective in reality. And the people selling
00:16:18.300it don't even know it's not effective because they'd never been down the path. So, you know,
00:16:22.780like I said, this thing that we built is going to fix all that. But, uh, but yeah, man, it's a,
00:16:27.640it's a, it's an evolving skillset that you have to, you know, leadership is not something that you
00:16:33.440ever get to. And you're like, yeah, man, I made it. I'm a great leader. That's not how it works,
00:16:39.080dude. It's, you know, I've been leading people for 27 years. Okay. I still feel like a rookie.
00:16:46.300I still analyze my leadership ability. I still work to get better every single day. It's something
00:16:51.660that you, you learn over time that never ends. It never ends. You, you never get to a point where
00:16:58.280you're like, Oh, I made it as a leader. I'm a great leader. That's the minute you start thinking
00:17:02.660that is the minute that you, you fucking fall off the cliff because it's an ego problem.
00:17:07.560I love it. I want to, I want to hit on this cause I think this is, this is big. And I know
00:17:10.800our audience like got a lot of entrepreneurs, a lot of entrepreneurs, right? Hard working
00:17:15.920killers, right? There's this age old, you know, quote, if you will, that I know everybody's heard
00:17:23.140it. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Yeah. What's the, what's the
00:17:28.620truth and reality of that? I mean, we're talking that. Yeah. If you're, if you're dumb and broke,
00:17:32.620yeah, that's, that's what people say. Do you ever hear a rich person say that?
00:17:38.900Yeah. That's a, that's a dumb, low income, low IQ thing that people say when they're frustrated.
00:17:45.040It's not reality. It's just something they say when they're pissed off. I mean, dude, in reality,
00:17:49.480yes, there's times where you're going to have to do things yourself, especially in the beginning.
00:17:54.740Yeah. However, if that's your MO for your whole life, you're never going to become an effective
00:17:59.820builder of teams and culture and people, because you have already accepted the belief that no one
00:18:05.100can be as good as you, which isn't real. Okay. You're not that good. You have people on your
00:18:10.340team that could actually be way fucking better than you. And if you're smart, you load your team
00:18:15.220with people who are smarter and more skilled and better than you in the position that they're in.
00:18:19.980And then you rely on them. Okay. So this idea, you know, yeah, I understand the saying, and yes,
00:18:25.880it's been beaten into people's heads, but it's not, it's not true. And it's based in this wrong think
00:18:33.760and ego and hubris that I am so much better than everybody else that only I can solve the problem.
00:18:42.800And if you have a leadership issue like that inside of your company, or even with yourself as the owner
00:18:48.260of a company, that company is not going to do well because you can't do everything yourself.
00:18:53.960It keeps you from becoming what you're trying to become. Nobody's built a crazy successful company
00:19:01.380without the help of other people. And yes, we have AI now and you need less people than what you needed
00:19:06.360before, but you still need to understand how to lead people properly and get them to be consistent
00:19:12.320with, you know, uh, their actions towards the mission at hand. And that, you know, that's,
00:19:18.500that's not something that you can just do on your own. Now, are there times where your team's going
00:19:24.860to piss you the fuck off and you're going to say, get the fuck out of the way. Let me do it.
00:19:28.020Yeah, of course. But if you're a great leader, you use that as a learning opportunity and you say,
00:19:33.820Hey, come here. This is how the fuck we do it. This is why this, this, this, this, this,
00:19:37.920this is why. Okay. So you don't just go in and do it and walk the fuck out and not use it as a
00:19:43.960coaching opportunity. You come in, you show you, you do fix it, but you show them how you fixed it
00:19:49.840so that next time, hopefully they will remember that and they will develop right. Yeah. Your whole
00:19:54.960goal when you're running an organization of any size, right. And like I said, yeah, I understand,
00:20:01.220you know, AI, we don't need as many people or you don't, you fuckers don't get it. You're still
00:20:06.100going to need people. Okay. You're going to need smart people. You may not need as many people,
00:20:10.760but you're still going to need to lead people, paint the vision, task out what needs to happen,
00:20:16.500understand what we're doing, how we're doing it. And you need the whole team to understand it
00:20:20.540collectively for it to work. And if you can't do that and you can't coach these people along the
00:20:25.740way, you can't scale. You cannot fucking scale. Can't scale. Can't do it. Love it. So it's,
00:20:31.840it's a, it's not a, it's not a skill of vanity. It's a skill of necessity. You have to have it.
00:20:39.400Yeah. Okay. And if you, if you do everything for people, they'll never develop. If you let them do
00:20:44.780everything, they're running off the fucking rails. So there is no like concrete answer. It's about
00:20:48.840nuance. It's not this or that. It's both. It's this and that. Right. I love it, dude. I love it.
00:20:53.940Uh, guys, Andy question number two, Andy. Hi. Hi, Andy. Hi, Andy. I'm 22 years old. Uh,
00:21:03.400currently live in Orlando, Florida. I've been an entrepreneur since I was 20, working full time
00:21:07.760in the fitness and wellness space over the last two years, I've been growing a really solid foundation
00:21:13.900and slowly becoming a person of influence for my community and demographic. And honestly,
00:21:18.660I've loved every second of serving others. I've had multiple people close to me, approach me with
00:21:24.780concerns that I'm stretching myself too thin. Uh, the tone almost feels accusatory. Like I don't know
00:21:32.660how to relax or like something is wrong with me because I'm driven. Meanwhile, I put my head down,
00:21:38.100get the freaking work done, um, and maximize every waking moment with something that will produce
00:21:43.060results. I'm fully aware that to be in the top 1%, you have to be willing to do what,
00:21:48.66099% of people will not. And I'm actually in a season of growth, expansion, pushing myself and
00:21:54.020getting uncomfortable on purpose. I don't plan on taking my foot off the gas anytime soon,
00:21:58.980but when you're hearing from multiple people close to you that they're worried about you,
00:22:04.400what do you do with that? How would you handle it when the people closest to you keep saying
00:22:08.380they're concerned about your pace or how hard you push when you know you're doing exactly what you
00:22:13.380need to be doing to build a life you want? It's very simple. Do you want their life?
00:22:19.460Do you want what they have? Do you want to look like them? Do you want to earn that money?
00:22:24.040Do you want to live like they live? If you do listen to them. If you don't, don't fucking listen to them.
00:22:32.140Okay. You already said it in your question. 99.9% of people will not get it. And that goes for your
00:22:39.680fucking family. And that goes for your friends. And that goes for all the people you grew up with.
00:22:43.860They are on a different path than you, period. And for you to expect them who are committed to a
00:22:51.700different path than you to understand your path is a ridiculous misunderstanding of how this actually
00:23:00.100works. Okay. It's not even logical. Like how am I going to learn Chinese? And then all of my friends
00:23:08.500know Chinese when I went and learned it. That's not how the fuck this works, bro. You're living a
00:23:13.840different life. You're on a different path. You're going for different things than they have. And they
00:23:19.380are not going to get it. They are not going to get it. They're not even going to get it when you make
00:23:24.280it. They're just going to say, I'm so glad you made it. I always believed in you. They're not
00:23:28.800going to remember the times that they said of all of these things. And this is important for you to
00:23:33.420understand because our biggest doubters, our biggest detractors, our biggest people in our lives that
00:23:42.180put the most hesitation into our hearts and minds are the people that we are closest to when we start on
00:23:49.260a new path. Because all of a sudden you've said, I'm not going to live like this anymore. I'm now
00:23:55.580going to do that. That confuses people. They start to say things like, well, what's wrong with how
00:24:01.860we're living? And they don't like that. Okay. When they have to address themselves and ask themselves
00:24:08.440why they're not doing things, they don't see themselves as the problem when they look around
00:24:12.060at everybody else and everybody else is doing what they're doing. They see you as the problem.
00:24:16.240They see you as the person who is delusional or who doesn't understand what they're trying to do or
00:24:22.160has bitten off more than they can chew or is not humble anymore or not proud of where they came from
00:24:27.860or greedy or materialistic. And as you go and as you become bigger, these little doubts and these
00:24:34.520criticisms get more and more and more and more and more until eventually you get so fucking tired of
00:24:40.240it that you move the fuck on from those people and you just say, fuck you. Okay. You could be my
00:24:45.460friend. You could be my family, but I'm not listening to your shit anymore. I'm going to go associate
00:24:50.700with people that are on the same path. And this is what we talk about going through the process of
00:24:56.140no man's land. When you start out and you say, I'm going to become this, and this is abnormal to
00:25:02.340everything else that everybody you've ever known, which by the way, most people have never, ever, ever
00:25:08.600seen someone in real life go from zero to something. They've never seen it. So how can you
00:25:15.060expect them to understand it? They're not gonna. Okay. So you're going to move away from this group
00:25:20.900because you're so tired of them not believing in you and still in doubt in you, putting negativity
00:25:26.560in your brain, telling you all the reasons why it can't. And you're going to get so fucking tired of
00:25:31.340it that you stop returning their texts. You stop returning their calls. You stop talking to these
00:25:35.840people and they're going to say things like, Oh, Andy thinks he's too good for us now. No,
00:25:40.420I don't think I'm too good. You're not supporting me and what I'm trying to do in my life. I didn't
00:25:45.180tell you that you couldn't come with me. Okay. And that is the big issue with our first friend and
00:25:51.800family group. When we start out, if you're lucky and when I mean lucky, I mean real lucky, you'll have
00:25:57.920someone in that group that says, no, you can do this because I've seen this happen. Okay. But more than
00:26:04.020likely, you're not going to have that. Your parents are going to want the same for you
00:26:08.520that they have for them because it's an ego thing. All right. Most parents look at their kids
00:26:16.080and they say, you're going to be just like dad. Okay. Well, dad goes to work for 60 hours a week,
00:26:22.680makes fucking 60 grand a year, works his fucking balls off. And you've witnessed this your whole life.
00:26:29.020And so when you start to make other decisions, their ego comes into play a lot of times. And it
00:26:34.340says, well, he, what's he doing? That's not the right decision. That's not that I did this. That's
00:26:40.800the right decision because I did it. They, they don't have the ability to check themselves and say,
00:26:46.640you know what? I'm glad he's doing that because I made the mistake early on. I bought into this and
00:26:51.360this did not provide what I wanted. Go out there, son. Let's kick some ass. That's rare. Okay.
00:26:57.040The norm is they're going to criticize you. They're going to say you're crazy. They're going
00:27:01.040to say you're fucking full of shit. They're going to ask you, are you sure? Are you sure? You know
00:27:05.540what? You're killing yourself for this. Yeah. Motherfucker. Cause that's what it takes. It takes
00:27:10.180that for a long fucking time. I understand that you're not willing to do it, but if we're not
00:27:16.000talking about you, we're talking about me. And so what happens is you start to distance yourself from
00:27:20.640these people and you start to find people who are on the same path as you, who want the same things
00:27:27.900you want. And you're going to start to naturally integrate with a new friend group. And the in
00:27:33.300between part is the hard part. The in between part is the part where everybody feels alone and nobody
00:27:39.660believes in them. And I'm so lonely and this and that. And that's a real thing. But the problem with
00:27:45.980it is that most people, when they get in that zone of uncomfortable social interactions regarding
00:27:52.020where they're trying to go versus everybody else, they will naturally just go back to where they
00:27:57.060came from because it feels so uncomfortable and so odd and so foreign that they're like, I can't do
00:28:02.580this. I got to go back. So they'll go back. The winners in life continue to push forward. They start
00:28:07.960to integrate with a new group of friends. And these friends are on the same path. They have the same
00:28:14.080goals. They have the same dreams. It might not be in the same industry or the same project, but
00:28:18.120generally they're trying to be fucking better. Hard is hard. That's right. Then what happens is that
00:28:23.860if you keep going, you will outgrow that group. OK, so if you think about it, let's just talk about it
00:28:30.680in dollars. When you start out at zero and you're trying to make five million dollars. OK, you're going
00:28:36.100to lose the first fucking friend group. You're going to get in that first the new friend group. That is
00:28:41.180that, you know, they're all trying to get five million dollars. OK, and then you all get
00:28:44.980there. And then let's say you say, well, fuck, now I want 50. Most of those guys aren't going
00:28:51.280to go to 50. They're not going to try. So when you start trying to go to 50, they start talking
00:28:55.940like the original group did. They start saying the same shit that the people said back in the
00:29:01.280day. They say, are you sure? You know, I don't know. Do you think you can really do that?
00:29:07.620It might not be as harsh, right? Because you've already proven yourself a little bit.
00:29:11.940But then you go out back in no man's land. OK, and then you get up to 50 and you find
00:29:17.280a whole new group and the process keeps repeating itself over and over and over again throughout
00:29:22.700your life. The friends you have today as an ambitious young man will not be the circle
00:29:28.620of. They might still be your friends. You might still drink a beer with them. They might
00:29:32.540still come over for your parties, but they're not going to be the people that you confide in
00:29:36.620or talk to or have deep relationships with because they do not fucking understand what you're
00:29:40.120trying to do. When you move into that second group and then that third group, eventually
00:29:46.820you get to a point where your reputation for what it's already understood. This motherfucker
00:29:54.620is going to do what he says he's going to do. And by the way, I want a piece of it. Can
00:29:59.660I buy into this? Can I do this? Can I be a part of that? And that's where after the time
00:30:04.920is proven, this may take, you know, 10 years. It might take 15. It might take 20. I don't
00:30:09.980know. It's different for everybody. But I can promise you this. When Mark Zuckerberg was
00:30:15.18025 years old and worth fucking $50 billion, his friends and family weren't saying, are
00:30:20.640you sure? They were saying, Hey, can I give you 2000 bucks, bro? And buy into your shit.
00:30:27.940And so what happens is, is your reputation starts to speak for itself. And then you don't
00:30:32.500get that shit anymore. You get the opposite. You get the fuck. Anything Andy touches is fucking
00:30:36.940going, bro. I want to be a part of it. Okay. And things get a lot easier, but this is very
00:30:43.320uncomfortable because it's misunderstood because it goes against what we want to believe, right?
00:30:50.100We want to believe that our friends from high school and our friends from college and our
00:30:54.540family and our cousins and everybody is just going to be like, yeah, you're fucking doing
00:31:01.060it. The first time you go out and try to do something, bro. No. And by the way, have you
00:31:06.660given them anything to believe in? Have you ever done anything? Have you ever got your ass in
00:31:12.640shape? Like, think about this. How many motherfuckers out there are fat as fuck? Okay. But they've
00:31:20.060told themselves and their friends and family 4,000 times they're going to get in shape.
00:31:23.980It's going to be this year, but they never do it. Okay. So now every time they say it,
00:31:28.560people kind of like, cool, man. Like, you know, they stopped believing because you fucking
00:31:35.540eroded the trust that you would have. That's neutral. Okay. You've now built negative trust.
00:31:40.860And when you become proven for a long period of time in business or in life, that trust
00:31:46.600automatically, it doesn't go to neutral. It goes to max trust where people like, Hey dude,
00:31:51.360this motherfucker is going to do what he says he's going to do. And that is the power of becoming a
00:31:56.440highly disciplined human being that can adhere to any path that they choose to go on. The problem
00:32:03.940with people is not that they don't necessarily know what to do in business. Yes. You need to know
00:32:10.780a lot of shit, but just in like, let's say get in shape or other goals. It's not really that they
00:32:15.340don't know what to do because the information is out there. We have free information fucking
00:32:19.820everywhere. It's that they don't have the ability to adhere to the plan in front of them. And if you
00:32:26.520asked yourself a very real question of what would your life look like right now today, if every single
00:32:38.460goal that you ever set for yourself for the last 10 years or the last five years, you had followed
00:32:45.780through on. If everybody's being honest, the answer is my life would look a lot different. I'd be in
00:32:51.840better shape. I'd be making way more money. I'd have a better relationships. I, I, everything would
00:32:57.280be better. I'd be walking around like that version of myself that I see inside that I know I'm supposed
00:33:03.140to become, but I'm too afraid to become it because of this or that or this, or I'm too embarrassed to
00:33:07.940go. You would be that if you had the ability to adhere to a plan, the ability and the discipline and
00:33:13.780the toughness to stick a plan through is where the fucking rub is for most people. They do not
00:33:19.820have the ability to execute the plan. Okay. And by the way, I built something that's going to make
00:33:26.880it dummy proof. So there's that. But the point is, is that when you develop that ability and you start
00:33:35.320doing everything that you said you're going to do, you're going to deal, you're not going to deal
00:33:38.780with any of this disbelief anymore. People aren't going to fucking doubt you there. They might, they
00:33:43.460might hope you don't win because they don't like you. And now you're dealing with a different type of
00:33:46.440thing. Yeah, that's right. That's different. And, and by the way, you know, there's nothing
00:33:50.960that strikes fear in the heart of your competition as someone that fucking, they know for sure that
00:33:58.720if they set their mind to something and they're going to say, they're going to do it, they're
00:34:01.360going to fucking do it. Like it scares the fuck out of people. It just does. What can you do?
00:34:06.720You can't do nothing. You can't do nothing because I'll run you the fuck over and they stay the
00:34:11.780fuck out of the way, but you got to earn that. And that takes time. And that takes you looking
00:34:17.920at your family in the fucking face right now. And if they persist and persist and persist,
00:34:23.300sometimes you got to look at them, your friends and family back, bro, I don't want what the
00:34:27.460fuck you want. Okay. So like, do you get it? I'm not trying to be fucking broke. I'm not trying
00:34:33.320to be maxed out on my credit cards. I'm not trying to drive a fucking Denali and pay $2,000 a month
00:34:39.360for it. And I have any money going to my fucking bank account. Okay. I'm not trying to be fucking
00:34:44.100look rich. I'm trying to be fucking rich so I can handle my motherfucking business. So
00:34:49.540the next time you fucking say something to me like that, realize I don't want anything
00:34:53.200that you have. That'll shut them the fuck up. Let's stop talking. Yeah. But I mean, you
00:34:59.520know, you, you, you do have to do that sometimes, you know, or you just remove them. Yeah.
00:35:04.420Yeah. I do that. So it's profound and like, it is abnormal. It's abnormal, but like the,
00:35:10.400the part where, listen, dude, winning is abnormal. Winning is not a 50, 50 endeavor. Yeah. Okay.
00:35:15.580It's not like football. This is the one thing where, where people have a hard time under football
00:35:23.380is a great metaphor for life and business because it requires the team effort. Everybody's got
00:35:26.900to execute a lot of translations. Yeah. Right. But one of them that doesn't is the win or
00:35:31.460the loss. Okay. Winning comes in steps. Losing comes in little steps back the other way.
00:35:37.860Okay. And you're constantly fighting that battle. It's never like, oh, I just won. That's why
00:35:43.140that question that every stupid motherfucker asked on a podcast, let me ask you something,
00:35:48.820Andy. When did you know that you made it? The fuck are you talking about? If I knew I made
00:35:55.040it, you think I'd be in here fucking eight days a week? That's right.
00:35:57.660You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't, you never make it. You never make it because it only
00:36:03.160takes two or three bad decisions to fucking be back where you were at any scale. And the truth
00:36:08.220of the matter, when it comes to entrepreneurship is this, most of your life is going to be spent
00:36:13.140on the line. Meaning you are literally on the line of making decisions that could ruin you on a daily
00:36:21.460fucking basis or build you on a daily basis. You never get to this point where you have so much
00:36:27.500money and so much capital and so much momentum that you couldn't fuck it up with two or three
00:36:32.160decisions. And if you recognize that as not, that's true for Jeff Bezos. Okay. Jeff Bezos could
00:36:37.740fucking smoke some crack and come up with some crazy ideas. He could do all the drugs and shit. And
00:36:43.140he'd be like, Oh, we're going to do. And he could ruin the company in theory. Okay. The bigger you
00:36:49.580get. Yes. Sometimes it's the harder it is to bust apart, but running a big company and having a lot
00:36:54.440of money is just a different version of running a small one with no money. It's just the stakes are
00:37:00.680higher. So like the minute you start thinking, Oh, I fucking made it. That's the minute that you get
00:37:05.840crushed. That's the minute when you fall off. That's the story of the rich guy who had it and lost it.
00:37:12.160That's where that story starts. It starts the minute you tell yourself, I fucking made it period.
00:37:18.300Okay. So all of you guys out there running business podcasts and putting out personal
00:37:23.080development content, when you have a high level entrepreneur sitting in front of you and you ask
00:37:28.100them, how did you know when you made it? You sound like a fucking idiot. Just so you know,
00:37:33.520because they don't look at it like that. I don't, I look at my days on a 24 hour fucking basis.
00:37:39.040Did I win this motherfucking day period? Because that's the only thing I can control
00:37:43.800tomorrow. I'm going to try to win that day too. And that's how you look at it. You never look at
00:37:49.600it as this macro scale of, yeah, I fucking made it. Now are there moments where you look around and
00:37:54.580you're like, this is pretty cool. Yeah. But like, those are fleeting moments, dude. It's like what we
00:38:02.040talk about, you know, you're only going to feel like you win one or 2% of the time. The rest of the time,
00:38:07.700it's like getting your balls kicked in just like everybody else. And it doesn't change with how
00:38:11.700much money you have. It just does. Especially if you built it yourself, it just doesn't change,
00:38:16.380bro. You know, I get that state that same shit that that kid is writing in about. I get the same
00:38:21.720shit told to me, but from the other place, you already made it. Why the fuck do you do all this?
00:38:27.300Why are you trying to do these things? Why are you building new things? You don't have to do that.
00:38:31.160Well, dude, no shit, but I'm a fucking builder. I'm a creator. I'm a, somebody who takes ideas
00:38:36.460out of the motherfucking air and makes them real. And guess what? I like that. That's how I'm wired.
00:38:42.040I love that shit. Just because you see it as work. I don't see it as work. I see it as a game.
00:38:46.960I'm playing a game that I'm going to fucking win. Okay. And you know, we'll have people say,
00:38:52.740well, that's not the only game. Yeah. That's not the only game. It's not, it's definitely not the game
00:38:56.380for you because you're fucking losing. That's right. Okay. Like I like this game. Yeah. That's
00:39:00.200my game. And I like to play it and I want to win at it. So I fucking put my time into it. Just like
00:39:04.280I would, if I wanted to be the world champion Call of Duty player, I play the game fucking 12 hours a
00:39:08.020day. Okay. But that's not what I'm trying to do. And so we have this thing in society where people who
00:39:15.060do not fucking understand anything about the ambitious drive and mindset, because it's so rare
00:39:22.820are constantly feeding those people bullshit. And the internet makes it worse because you have
00:39:29.080all these people pretending to be shit. They aren't regurgitating shit that they think sounds
00:39:34.320cool. And then you're taking it as, Oh man, these guys really know what they're talking about. And
00:39:39.400they're feeding you bad shit. This is why you have to fucking vet who you're listening to. If they have
00:39:45.060not built a real fucking business, you cannot listen to them. They will fucking ruin you. Okay. So
00:39:51.360yeah, the point of the matter is this, that never changes. Okay. And if you can't deal with people
00:39:56.720negative and, and, and putting down in your head and I understand, I don't mean this to be rude
00:40:00.920because I understand you're young. It's your first time dealing with this, but for everybody else,
00:40:04.780if you can't get over this, you can't win. It's fucking impossible. Like you have to be able to put
00:40:09.740your blinders on, plug your motherfucking ears and move down the path, regardless of what anybody's
00:40:14.020saying. Do you know how many motherfuckers told me I couldn't do what we've done with first form
00:40:18.080when we started it? Fucking all of them, all of them. Oh, you mean you think you're going to,
00:40:23.440you're going to start a company here in St. Louis? It's going to become the world's best sports
00:40:28.780nutrition company. Yeah. Can't do that. And that was 10 years in the business. Yeah. That was after
00:40:34.460I had 10 years of proof in retail. Yeah. Okay. And the bigger and the crazier and the more insane idea
00:40:42.020that you have, the less people are going to believe it, man. And you've just got to fucking do it. And
00:40:48.300if you don't develop that ability to plug your ears and put the fucking blinders on or address it
00:40:53.440verbally, which very few people have, especially when they're young, you can't win. Now, when you're
00:40:59.280older, you know, if someone were to say, Oh, no, no, no. I'm like, yeah, man. Uh, I'm pretty sure I
00:41:06.320don't know how to win. Let's, let's look around here. Okay. Motherfucker. Like I know what I'm
00:41:11.860not taking your advice. Sorry. You know what I'm saying? And like, dude, you like now I have a
00:41:16.580little smart ass fucking comment to it. Right. You know? Oh, I don't know about that. Yeah. That's
00:41:20.900what everybody else thought to you. You know? And then you get in your fucking car that costs
00:41:26.020$5 million. You drive the fuck away. That's right. You don't say it. That's right. That's right.
00:41:29.800Yeah. That's right, dude. I love it. It doesn't matter what people say, bro. Like you're,
00:41:33.440you got to understand being an ambitious driven human being is one of the rarest fucking things
00:41:40.740on the planet. And if you can't understand that and you expect everybody else to be like
00:41:48.020that, you're going to go crazy. They're not there. Dude, you're one of a thousand. You're
00:41:55.140not one of a hundred. You're one of a thousand. Okay. So if you speak to fucking 999 people,
00:42:01.000they're not going to fucking get it. So the expectation that you think you're going to
00:42:05.680communicate it and they're going to get it. And then all of a sudden start cheering, dude,
00:42:09.840it's an unrealistic expectation. And by even having it, it causes us pain, right? We have
00:42:16.180an expectation that everybody should cheer and everybody should clap and everything should
00:42:20.820be great and everybody should believe in us. And it's such a false expectation that it causes
00:42:26.180us massive amounts of pain on the inside because we're expecting it. We're not thinking of it
00:42:31.480logically. We're thinking about it emotionally. Logically, it makes sense. You haven't done
00:42:37.380anything. So yeah, they don't believe in you. Emotionally, you say, but yeah, I'm me and you
00:42:43.400should believe in me because I'm me. Unfortunately, that's how the fuck it works. Okay. So if you need
00:42:50.060the claps beforehand, like, yeah, dude, that's the other thing. And there's a whole, that could
00:42:54.740be a whole fucking podcast, bro. You know, the, you know, the old saying in sports, like
00:43:02.240don't read your own press clippings. You know, when you have bad game, don't read them, but
00:43:08.240also when you have a good game, don't read the paper. Okay. That is a huge part of staying
00:43:14.420centered. You cannot buy into your own hype and you can't buy into your own lack of hype.
00:43:20.060You have to understand who the fuck you are, what it is you're doing, who you're working
00:43:25.600to become, what you're trying to build. And you have to understand that most people are
00:43:30.300not going to get it. And just because you've won, doesn't make you great. Just because you've
00:43:35.400lost, doesn't make you shit. It's, it's a very, you have to center yourself. And this
00:43:40.080is where, this is where the idea of humility really comes into play, right? A lot of people
00:43:45.220look at someone like me, who's outspoken and pretty flashy with their cars and shit.
00:43:50.820They, Oh, that guy thinks he's fucking the shit. No, I actually don't. I think I'm just
00:43:56.480a guy that pays attention to feedback really fucking well. And I understand that when I
00:44:01.260hit a fucking grand slam that I could have very easily struck out. And I understand that
00:44:05.860when I struck out, I was only an inch away from hitting a fucking grand slam. Okay. And
00:44:10.320that is a mentality that you have to cultivate as an entrepreneur or as an ambitious person,
00:44:15.040because when you're winning and the world tells you you're great, if you buy into that,
00:44:18.660you'll get lazy. If you're losing and the world tells you your shit, you start to believe
00:44:22.820it, you quit. So you got to understand who the fuck you are. And you've got to be able
00:44:26.500to balance that out inside your own two years. And this is the power of having a, a mentor that
00:44:33.220has been down the path. I'm not talking about Johnny Schmo from the fucking internet. I'm talking
00:44:37.080about dude who's built real shit. Yeah. Okay. Or a woman who's built real shit. So
00:44:41.200anyway, yeah, I love it, dude. The point, I feel like this, I feel like if you pay some
00:44:46.160somebody money, like everybody talks about getting scammed. I got scammed. I got scammed. No,
00:44:55.420you're a fucking idiot. Okay. Like you're the one that pulled out your motherfucking credit
00:45:01.700card and paid the motherfucker thinking that they somehow knew some shit when it's very
00:45:08.120obvious that they haven't built anything real. They haven't done anything real. They
00:45:11.900don't have any real life experience and you bought into it because you wanted to be rich
00:45:16.940quick and you should take that as a very valuable lesson to you. So I love it. We got one more
00:45:24.440question. Um, it's actually kind of long winded on that one. No, we're good. The transition
00:45:28.860perfectly. I think it's, it's actually a great, uh, great little, little final question for
00:45:32.380you guys. Any question number three, Andy, how do you balance, uh, feeling gratitude with
00:45:40.380how far you've come in business, uh, with motivation to keep going and growing? I don't
00:45:46.660want to be complacent with where I am at, but also don't want to be frustrated that I'm
00:45:50.580not where I want to be yet. Yeah. Any advice? Yeah. Um, before I answer that, you got to
00:46:00.180understand, dude, the ideas of meekness and humility and modesty are weaponized against
00:46:08.580the general public to make people feel bad for wanting more. The hope is, is that if you
00:46:15.440beat this shit into people's brains, they will not try, they'll accept what they get
00:46:21.260usually from the state. Okay. And they will say, well, I don't have much, but it's
00:46:26.620amazing. And that is the goal. All right. So you have to understand you are
00:46:32.500propagated to think small, be small and act small for the sake of control. That is
00:46:39.080true. All right. Now move that conversation to the side. It's very, very important to
00:46:47.860your happiness that you do have gratitude for where you're at, at the time. If you do
00:46:53.600not have gratitude for where you're at, at the time, even if you're at day one or day
00:46:58.5401000 or day 10,000, it's going to be miserable. Okay. Because you're always going to be looking
00:47:04.940for more. You're always going to be wishing things were different. You're going to be wasting
00:47:08.580your life, dreaming of a version of a life that you're not living, which doesn't allow
00:47:13.600you to be present and enjoy the life that you're in. So gratitude is massively important.
00:47:20.400Humility is massively important, but not the way society says so. Okay.
00:47:28.320If you do gratitude, right, you should feel like this in the morning. Fuck dude. I must've won
00:47:36.160the lottery, dude. Like I can't believe I get to be me. I can't believe that I get to
00:47:40.240wake up and be me. Okay. That's how you should feel when you're doing gratitude. Right. I
00:47:44.980always felt grateful. Even when I was fucking totally broke, I was always thanking God for
00:47:51.280everything I had, even when I didn't have the things that I might've wanted. All right.
00:47:57.500And that hasn't changed. And I think that's a huge aspect to people's quality of life
00:48:03.780and their ability to succeed. Because if you're constantly agitating, constantly unhappy and
00:48:11.200constantly thinking about what you don't have, that's energy that you're putting out that screams,
00:48:16.520I don't have it. I want it, but I don't have it. And that sounds like a good thing, but it actually
00:48:23.240makes you miserable over time. So being grateful and then being disciplined on top of it. Okay. And
00:48:31.940then having a purpose, those are three magical ingredients that create not only a successful
00:48:37.460journey, but also a happy time along the way. All right. People think happiness is, is a, is like
00:48:45.340legitimately like a destination that they're going to one day get to and stay at that. That's not how the
00:48:52.260fuck it works. You have to create it through your own mental practices. You have to create it through
00:48:57.700your own actions. Okay. When you're disciplined and you're doing everything that you say you were
00:49:01.820going to do, you feel good about yourself. You say, I'm somebody who can do the things I'm committed to
00:49:06.460what I'm doing. I do what I say I'm going to do. That gives you self-esteem. It gives you confidence.
00:49:10.560It gives you self-belief. It gives you all the things that make you feel good when you're,
00:49:15.560when you're grateful. Okay. You cannot be grateful and be filled with that lack energy at the same
00:49:22.100time. It's impossible. Okay. And then when you commit yourself something bigger than you,
00:49:27.140a purpose, you have the three ingredients to actually create happiness along the way.
00:49:32.160Now, where this really screws people is when society tells people, just be grateful for what
00:49:41.220you have. And most people hear that and they're like, yeah, you know, you're right. I don't have
00:49:45.820much, but I, you know, I got a pretty good and that's okay. That's okay. But if you're an ambitious
00:49:51.260human, okay, and you're somebody who does want more and you're being forced to just be grateful
00:49:57.860and be humble and be modest and be me, you're gonna be fucking miserable, bro. Yeah. So we've
00:50:03.820got to understand there is a reality to these concepts and then there is a social engineering
00:50:08.700for sake of control around these concepts. Real humility is absolutely necessary for the reasons
00:50:17.340that I talked about in the last question. If you are not humble enough to understand when you're
00:50:24.060doing things wrong or that you could get better or that you, you don't know this or that you can't
00:50:29.580get to a higher level, which is ironic because a lot of people will look at people who are very
00:50:34.420successful and be like, oh, that guy's not fucking humble, blah, blah, blah. No, dude, you don't
00:50:38.320understand. He couldn't have got where he was without having that humility. How the fuck would
00:50:43.040somebody go from zero to a billion dollars or more if they didn't have the capacity to
00:50:49.420understand that they didn't know what they don't know, that they aren't as good as what
00:50:53.160they think they are. Aware of their mistakes. Just because you see them living in a nice
00:50:56.880house and driving a nice car doesn't mean they're not humble, bro. The true definition of humility
00:51:01.800is understanding that you are no better than anybody else and you are a result of the actions
00:51:07.780that you take. And if that motherfucker over there on the corner had taken the same actions
00:51:11.860that I took, he'd be right where the fuck I was. I'm not better than him. I took a different
00:51:15.660path than him. Okay. The toxic definition of humility is saying like, well, I'm actually
00:51:24.760less than what I am. You know, you tear your own self down. You put doubts in your own head.
00:51:30.120Say, you know what? I'm really not one of these successful guys. I just come from over here.
00:51:34.200You know what? You're right. I just need to stay in my lane. You know, there's, there's
00:51:40.620sound, that sounds miserable, man. That sounds miserable. Bro, think if you're beat to death
00:51:45.000with this shit and you're actually an ambitious person that knows in their heart, you want
00:51:50.200more, that they not only want more, but they're destined to be more. They know they were put
00:51:54.980here to make something different about the world. And they never become that because they're
00:52:00.360afraid to, because their family and their friends and society has told them, oh, you know,
00:52:05.180that's wrong. You're, you're materialistic. You're not humble. You're not modest. You're
00:52:09.320losing, you're losing grip on it. You've lost the plot. You've, you know, all these things
00:52:13.780and then it traps you and then you never become what you're supposed to become. And by the way,
00:52:20.400how many people would benefit from you becoming who you become? It's literally a total fucking
00:52:27.280failure of your life to believe the shit that everybody else is living by and not understand
00:52:32.920that you are here for a specific reason to do a specific job, to create a specific thing
00:52:39.100inside yourself or outside that benefits the rest of humankind. You have a gift inside of you and so
00:52:46.880many gifts, so many cures, so many life-changing products, so many life-changing messages, so many
00:52:54.960stories of overcoming never fucking happen because people's friends and family from the old days
00:53:01.660have beat this idea of modesty, humility, be nothing, do nothing, accept your gruel and shut
00:53:07.440the fuck up. Okay. And that hurts society. And by the time you're, you don't even have to be on
00:53:13.220your deathbed. Okay. We talk about this regret thing, you know, oh, when you're on your, no dude,
00:53:17.840you're going to get to a point where you're probably in your fifties or sixties and you're
00:53:22.080going to say, fuck, I failed at what I was supposed to do. I never did it. And now there's not
00:53:28.620enough time to do it. You still got to live with that. And now you got to live with that regret for
00:53:32.520the second half of your motherfucking life, dude. So you have to understand, dude, all of these
00:53:39.600things that the, the, the, the, the cultural, everything that comes from cultural, the cultural
00:53:47.240norms, it used to be in America. And I know we have international listeners, but I'm just going to
00:53:53.020talk about the United States right now. It used to be when you grew up, you were encouraged to
00:53:59.260become anything you wanted. You were told you could be anything you wanted. You were encouraged
00:54:03.600to, to, to do great things. Successful people were celebrated. They were seen as the example
00:54:09.000of the American dream. That is no longer the case. Okay. Now we have a society that glorifies
00:54:14.480victimhood, that glorifies dependency that says, if you go out and try to make something of yourself,
00:54:19.320there's something wrong with you. You're greedy. You're materialistic. You've lost, uh, you know,
00:54:24.160you've lost the ability to connect with people from, you know, you've changed so to speak. These
00:54:30.200are the things that literally ruin human, human, uh, kind because it keeps all like really think about
00:54:39.200this, dude. Think about how many fucking ideas, cures, products, movements, messages, stories of
00:54:47.380overcoming that never exist because people have been indoctrinated to play small.
00:54:52.540Dude, it's like you're failing your fucking purpose. That's the point. Okay. So you can't
00:55:00.320listen to that shit. You got to understand that there is an application for those words
00:55:04.700and it's not the one that everybody fucking tells you. You know what I'm saying? It's not,
00:55:10.000it's not what everybody tells you. So practice that gratitude or keep fucking moving.
00:55:13.740Yeah. Cause you're not where you want to be at yet. Yeah. That's not you. And it's very,
00:55:17.640it's very easy to say, I am very grateful to be where I'm at and have the opportunity
00:55:23.420to do what I'm trying to do. Even if you don't have it. Yeah. Right. Like that's a great way to
00:55:29.660be grateful and still acknowledge that you don't have what it is that you want. Right. I have the
00:55:35.240opportunity to do it. Thank you for the opportunity for allowing me to try and do this. That's a good
00:55:41.620place to start. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That's real, bro. Dude. Yeah. Guys, Andy, I mean,
00:55:48.940that was three. Yep. All right, guys, we will see you tonight. 7 p.m. CTI live. Don't be a hoe.
