Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy Frisella, and I am
00:00:22.680
the motherfucking CEO. What is a motherfucking CEO anyway? Let's cover that real quick. We
00:00:29.180
talk about MFCEO, and a lot of guys tag me on the internet and say, oh, the MFCEO. But here's the
00:00:36.240
thing, guys. I want you to become a motherfucking CEO. I want you to become the motherfucking CEO
00:00:44.720
of your life. A lot of people don't know what I mean by that. They think, well, what does that
00:00:50.420
mean? I don't run a company. I'm not a CEO. Guys, you are a CEO. You're the CEO of you. Every decision
00:00:58.820
that you make in your life has an impact on what you're going to be doing five minutes
00:01:05.000
from now. Maybe it's tomorrow. Maybe it's next week. Maybe it's a year. Maybe it's 10 years
00:01:10.520
from now. But everything that you decide to do today is going to have an impact on you
00:01:16.600
in the future. And what my goal of this show is to do is to get you to understand that life
00:01:24.920
is not the sunshine and rainbows and puppies and ice cream and flowers that you were brought
00:01:33.740
up to believe. Not everybody fucking wins. Not everybody gets a trophy. And if you want
00:01:40.800
the trophy, and if you want to win, you've got to do certain things to get there. And
00:01:47.000
that is the purpose of this podcast. If you're a first-time listener, welcome. Normally, I'd
00:01:52.300
be introducing my co-host, Vaughn, the pastor of disaster. And Ben Newman, who comes in here
00:02:03.060
and spits fire, professional speaker, travels the globe inspiring, telling people his story
00:02:10.700
and his mother's story and stories of hope and inspiration and how to get shit done. All
00:02:16.860
right? And those are the people who come in and are usually a part of this show. Today,
00:02:21.440
it's me and it's Tyler. Tyler doesn't even have a microphone set up. This is just me and you
00:02:26.020
today. All right? I want you guys to understand something. And I want to address something.
00:02:32.780
This is going to be a little bit different of a podcast than what you're used to. Usually,
00:02:37.260
you're listening to an hour of us talk. We laugh. We joke. We make fun of each other. And we
00:02:42.500
have a good message. Okay? Today's going to be a little different. Today, it's just me.
00:02:47.640
All right? And today, I'm going to attack something that is a problem that I see all over the internet,
00:02:58.060
all over social media. I see this thing that I call success zombies. All right? Success zombies.
00:03:07.580
What the fuck is a success zombie? All right? Here, let me explain to you what a success zombie is.
00:03:12.780
Success zombie is one of these people who subscribes to every podcast, who subscribes to every book,
00:03:19.740
who listens to every single person online, who reads everything they can, joins every program they can,
00:03:27.680
goes to every speaker they can, and at the end of the day, they don't do fucking shit.
00:03:33.580
That's a success zombie. Okay? Is it good to put things into your brain that are going to produce
00:03:41.440
results in the future and cause you to learn new things? Absolutely. Is it good to listen to people
00:03:49.040
who have done what you want to do? Absolutely. Is it good to take time investing in yourself
00:03:55.620
every single day to learn new things? No fucking question, guys. But when those things consume your
00:04:02.520
life and you don't go out and fucking execute on what it is that you need to do and what you want
00:04:07.900
to do, you're not going to produce a result. I need you to understand this. The goal of this show
00:04:14.280
is not to keep people in a situation of trance of how great the information is or how great this book
00:04:22.520
is or how great this podcast is or how great this other success person is or listen to this or that
00:04:28.640
or do this and that, which is what some people want to do. Some people want to draw you in and they
00:04:34.000
want you to become a fucking zombie that opens up their wallet and pays. And that's what the
00:04:40.900
success industry, and it's sad that it's become an industry, has become. Don't be a fucking success
00:04:49.160
zombie. I'm going to keep this short, guys. I'm not going to waste your time because I want you to go
00:04:56.040
out and I want you to fucking execute. If you want to learn how to execute, go listen to my podcast
00:05:01.600
called Kill It Every Day and figure out how to do the power list for yourself. And if you know what
00:05:06.700
I'm talking about, which I know a lot of you guys do, but if you're a first-time listener, you don't,
00:05:10.400
go back and listen. Guys, go out right now. Don't go on to somebody else's podcast. Don't go on
00:05:19.860
fucking Instagram. Don't go on Facebook. Go out right now. Make a phone call. Make an email.
00:05:26.540
Go meet somebody. Work on a project. Complete something that is going to fucking move you
00:05:33.900
forward. Because life is not about 100% learning. I could sit you in front of every success person
00:05:42.760
on the face of the earth that's ever existed. Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill. You could
00:05:49.340
take all the great business leaders in the last 100 years, put them in this room, let them talk 24 hours a
00:05:55.420
day, and you could learn everything they could teach you. But unless you go out and you fucking
00:06:00.320
execute on a daily basis, you're never going to accomplish anything and nobody's going to remember
