All right, look, I like to cover this every few times
00:00:39.880
The MFCEO Project stands for motherfucking CEO, all right?
00:00:53.200
any of the information that I send your way, all right?
00:00:56.120
The point of the project is for people to get back
00:01:11.640
how to become the motherfucking CEO of ourselves, okay?
00:02:07.560
hey, Andy, this is from Action Factory, which...
00:28:48.960
Are we talking about like having a business meeting?
00:29:11.580
He's transitioned from one being super successful
00:29:16.060
I think he's got a lot of great information to offer
00:29:18.020
and I think the guy's got a great moral sense about him
00:29:21.160
and I would like to have that opinion of something.
00:29:52.000
Especially when it comes to technology and social media.
00:30:23.960
I think she understands how to create a culture.
00:30:27.140
I think she understands how to make that culture work
00:33:19.940
I think he's so brilliant that I would have a problem relating to him.
00:33:22.840
And even though I'm a fucking intelligent person,
00:33:27.680
I think he thinks on a different level clearly than I would.
00:33:30.300
And I don't know like what value I could get from that.
00:33:42.320
it would like exceed my ability to like utilize that information.
00:33:52.300
intelligent people are people who think on a level that's so much higher than
00:33:58.060
but they're so intelligent that they can put it in ways that everybody
00:34:27.420
and I have a good relationship with Gary and clearly my dad,
00:34:45.420
I think he's probably created more millionaires than anybody that's ever
00:35:18.000
you are obviously a driven person over the course of,
00:35:24.620
motivations that have driven you that have come and gone?
00:35:32.860
And then what have been the motivations that have been consistent that have driven you over time?
00:35:47.700
when I started in business and I talk about this when,
00:35:53.480
my idea was to make millions of dollars and be a fucking baller and have naked chicks on fucking,
00:36:01.860
that kind of a dude with fucking nice cars and just,
00:36:20.620
was an extremely large motivating factor for me whenever I was young,
00:36:24.480
own a fucking Lamborghini own a fucking this kind of house own that own this blah,
00:36:32.280
that is usually the motivation for people when they start in business,
00:36:35.380
they want to fucking have money so they can buy shit.
00:36:39.940
as you develop a company and as you grow more mature,
00:36:43.540
remember I was 19 years old when I started my company.
00:36:46.540
I think that those motivations are very in line with a 19 year old kid.
00:36:51.900
as I grew and as we matured and as we grew a company,
00:36:55.260
you start seeing more of a human element to the company.
00:37:09.560
you take on a different responsibility as the owner.
00:37:15.780
for some owners it is like some owners don't give a fuck about their employees.
00:37:22.840
it becomes more of a moral obligation to these people that fucking come in day in and day out and hustle for you to take care of them and grow the company,
00:37:41.020
the original motivation transitions into that motivation.
00:37:52.220
and then what happens is what you end up realizing is that,
00:38:00.340
And I don't expect people to get it because they haven't been through it.
00:38:03.100
But what ends up happening is you end up realizing that doing the right thing is what makes you the most money.
00:38:14.820
when it comes to like developing your product marketing and all these things that go into business.
00:38:18.840
And so like you start off chasing the money and you kind of grow up and you become an adult and then you focus on providing value and it starts with providing value for your employees.
00:38:42.080
it's hard to get that through to somebody who's not making any money.
00:38:55.300
So it's just hard to get through to them sometimes.
00:38:58.160
So just a recognition that there's going to be an evolution in your motivation.
00:39:05.920
With the transition from your group of friends,
00:39:08.120
there's a transition from phases of what your motivation is.
00:39:28.540
I liked cars when I was fucking seven years old.
00:39:33.780
So like now I have cars that I want that are expensive,
00:39:36.240
that I've got to fucking work my balls off to get.
00:40:03.620
there's things that are constantly motivational.
00:40:18.560
Why am I sitting at three o'clock in the afternoon on a fucking microphone when I could be doing real work for my company?
00:40:28.060
Because I want to make a fucking impact and I see a need that needs to be filled and I'm not getting paid to do this.
00:40:56.740
like you're in the beginning stages of being an entrepreneur and then you become middle
00:41:16.240
We'll tackle some more Q and a at some point in the future.
00:41:45.760
we've added several new listeners and as crazy it is for us to think about this,
00:41:50.900
people don't necessarily automatically know where to find us on social media platforms.
00:41:56.880
I'm very active on Instagram at Andy for Sella,
00:42:09.260
which is at Andy for Sella and I'm Andy for Sella on Facebook too.
00:42:14.940
I'm not as active as I am on Periscope or Instagram,
00:42:48.000
you have all these different ones that people have to keep checking.
