00:00:00.000 Hey guys, what's up?
00:00:23.500 You're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:25.440 I'm Andy and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:27.940 You know, I get emails all the time.
00:00:31.120 What is an MFCEO?
00:00:32.320 What is the MFCEO Project?
00:00:33.940 I don't get it.
00:00:34.880 All right, look, I like to cover this every few times
00:00:37.580 we have a podcast for you guys that are new.
00:00:39.880 The MFCEO Project stands for motherfucking CEO, all right?
00:00:44.620 We're gonna curse, we're gonna get real,
00:00:46.320 we're gonna get raw,
00:00:48.580 and I'm not gonna powder coat or powder puff
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
00:01:00.900 to dealing with the facts of entrepreneurship,
00:01:05.240 of life, of being a good human being,
00:01:08.600 and ultimately teaching all of us
00:01:11.640 how to become the motherfucking CEO of ourselves, okay?
00:01:17.140 And that doesn't mean being an uptight CEO
00:01:19.380 with a fucking tie around our neck, you know, 0.94
00:01:22.480 and some nerdy fucking loafers. 0.54
00:01:24.580 I'm talking about being a bad motherfucker
00:01:26.040 and walking through life with some authority,
00:01:28.320 with some swagger,
00:01:29.200 and having a good fucking time 0.87
00:01:30.400 while doing some good shit, too, okay?
00:01:32.260 That's what the MFCEO Project is about.
00:01:34.780 It's about bringing back the hustle
00:01:37.700 that America was built upon, all right?
00:01:41.200 So for those of you who ask me what,
00:01:43.940 first of all, what it stands for,
00:01:46.140 and second of all, what it means,
00:01:48.380 that's what it fucking means, all right?
00:01:50.260 We're gonna get into some Q&A today
00:01:52.300 with my co-host Vaughn, the Impaler,
00:01:56.140 otherwise known as DJ, DJ God.
00:01:59.180 What's up, dude?
00:02:00.300 Dude, we got some pretty amazing questions,
00:02:02.500 and I wanna start out with one.
00:02:03.960 All right, let's just get right into it, man.
00:02:06.580 So the question is,
00:02:07.560 hey, Andy, this is from Action Factory, which...
00:02:11.360 I know who Action Factory is, dude.
00:02:12.880 Yeah, I see them all the time.
00:02:14.060 They're always on my Instagram,
00:02:18.320 always on Snapchat with me.
00:02:21.080 All right.
00:02:21.360 So it's cool, man.
00:02:22.120 Okay, well, his question,
00:02:23.440 and he even ended it with a hashtag
00:02:25.140 that he wants to, I guess, trend.
00:02:26.820 Was it hustle porn?
00:02:27.760 No, but it's...
00:02:29.080 Hustle porn.
00:02:29.940 All right, hey, just so you know,
00:02:32.580 all you motherfuckers listening right now, 0.93
00:02:34.260 start using the hashtag
00:02:35.600 with MFCEO Project,
00:02:38.680 say every fucking hashtag that you post, 0.89
00:02:41.540 I want you to hashtag MFCEO Project
00:02:43.880 and hustle porn, all right?
00:02:46.720 Hustle porn.
00:02:47.560 Not hustler porn.
00:02:48.560 No, hustle porn.
00:02:49.780 Okay.
00:02:50.040 That's gonna be our fucking hashtag.
00:02:51.660 Okay.
00:02:52.380 I like it.
00:02:52.960 Well, this is the question.
00:02:53.840 You like the porn, right?
00:02:54.940 Right, yeah.
00:02:56.020 You were a pastor.
00:02:57.380 I don't know how you guys get it.
00:02:58.340 Exactly, yeah, right.
00:02:59.640 It's...
00:03:00.200 I'm not gonna go there.
00:03:00.560 All those suppressed sexual urges
00:03:02.120 that you have for your whole entire life.
00:03:03.520 Moving right along,
00:03:06.100 so this is the question.
00:03:07.220 Why is Vaughn's beard game slacking?
00:03:10.620 And the follow-up is...
00:03:12.380 Of course he'd want to talk about himself.
00:03:13.940 Of course, of course.
00:03:14.980 No Shave November will be here
00:03:16.340 before you know it,
00:03:17.100 and we are all praying
00:03:17.820 for Vaughn's beard game to step up.
00:03:20.100 Hashtag pray for Vaughn's beard game.
00:03:22.060 You know how you get a good beard going
00:03:24.520 when you can't...
00:03:25.060 Like, I got all these guys,
00:03:25.960 they're like,
00:03:26.240 Andy, your fucking beard rocks.
00:03:28.040 How do I get a beard?
00:03:29.040 You know how you get a good beard, guys?
00:03:30.540 You gotta fucking rub piss on your face. 0.67
00:03:32.920 Okay.
00:03:33.340 You piss on your hands
00:03:34.120 and rub it on your face.
00:03:35.040 All right.
00:03:35.700 Tell me how that works out for you.
00:03:36.760 Is it gotta be human
00:03:37.520 or can it be dog piss?
00:03:38.680 It could be either,
00:03:39.740 but just do it
00:03:40.400 and let me know how it works.
00:03:41.360 Okay.
00:03:41.840 All right.
00:03:42.300 That sounds like
00:03:43.560 a really legitimate solution,
00:03:45.840 so I'm gonna try that.
00:03:46.640 I'm gonna get like 700 emails.
00:03:48.920 Andy, I actually did that.
00:03:51.080 I fucking rubbed piss on my face.
00:03:52.660 You mean like the guys
00:03:53.420 that actually sent Tyler dick pics
00:03:55.360 after you told them to do it?
00:03:57.400 No, the best one was
00:03:58.280 I didn't even say dick pics.
00:03:59.520 I just said send them
00:04:00.720 and then I used the eggplant pics
00:04:02.660 and then everybody went
00:04:04.020 and sent them pictures
00:04:04.960 of real eggplants.
00:04:05.940 It was fucking awesome.
00:04:07.000 That's great.
00:04:07.780 Yeah.
00:04:08.100 We love you guys, man.
00:04:09.280 Yeah, we do.
00:04:10.160 Our people are as sarcastic as we are,
00:04:12.960 which is what makes it cool, you know?
00:04:14.620 We don't have many of these
00:04:15.740 fucking uptight douchebags
00:04:18.160 of society listening,
00:04:19.740 so I appreciate the humor
00:04:21.820 and the ability to play along.
00:04:26.280 You know, nothing's worse than people
00:04:27.400 that just take shit 0.76
00:04:28.180 way too fucking serious.
00:04:29.340 Very true.
00:04:30.000 You know, and a lot of people
00:04:31.300 get me like that, right?
00:04:32.420 They're like, dude,
00:04:32.960 why are you always so mad
00:04:33.980 in all your videos?
00:04:34.840 You're so angry.
00:04:36.140 Motherfucker, I am not angry.
00:04:37.720 I am intense.
00:04:38.660 Right.
00:04:38.960 I want to fucking win.
00:04:40.280 I take shit serious.
00:04:41.820 It's not that I'm mad.
00:04:43.260 You know, I just want to fucking win.
00:04:45.340 I want you to win.
00:04:46.620 And I take winning serious.
00:04:48.640 But when I'm not trying to win,
00:04:50.500 which is rare,
00:04:51.700 I pretty much fuck off all the time.
00:04:53.480 You know, and I tell jokes
00:04:54.720 and I make fun of people.
00:04:55.740 And, you know,
00:04:56.520 if you follow me on Snapchat,
00:04:57.500 you figure that out.
00:04:58.760 So I picked up on yesterday,
00:05:00.260 at least this was my perception,
00:05:01.340 that yesterday,
00:05:02.660 I felt like you were
00:05:04.180 in a really good mood.
00:05:05.480 Yesterday?
00:05:06.100 That's because I have been,
00:05:07.540 that's because I have been,
00:05:09.880 I've been eating clean.
00:05:11.740 I've been training hard.
00:05:13.480 I've been working out.
00:05:14.800 We have that
00:05:15.420 My Transformation Starts Today
00:05:17.100 contest going on
00:05:18.040 with First Form.
00:05:20.280 And I've been using,
00:05:22.100 you know,
00:05:22.280 I've been back on our own products again,
00:05:24.000 using them religiously.
00:05:25.620 Dude, I'm feeling fucking awesome.
00:05:27.160 Yeah.
00:05:27.460 You know,
00:05:27.880 and you're not the first person
00:05:29.740 to say that, by the way.
00:05:30.880 But it's amazing.
00:05:32.320 You mean that you were
00:05:32.920 in a good mood yesterday?
00:05:33.740 No, I've just been in a good mood.
00:05:34.920 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:05:35.440 More because I've got all
00:05:37.240 the pieces in play.
00:05:39.080 Like, dude,
00:05:39.400 getting the pieces in play,
00:05:41.400 all of them,
00:05:42.080 is hard for anybody.
00:05:43.280 You know,
00:05:43.540 like,
00:05:44.300 you know,
00:05:44.640 these guys who are
00:05:45.920 fucking ripped
00:05:46.840 and in fitness shape
00:05:47.700 all the time,
00:05:48.160 usually their work area
00:05:50.500 isn't as tight.
00:05:51.600 You know what I'm saying?
00:05:52.320 Or the relationship area
00:05:54.000 isn't as tight.
00:05:54.820 Or some area,
00:05:56.400 you know,
00:05:56.840 their spirituality
00:05:57.440 is out of line.
00:05:58.420 Something that we need
00:06:00.100 as humans
00:06:00.560 is out of line.
00:06:01.320 Right.
00:06:01.440 But right now,
00:06:02.540 personally,
00:06:03.760 you know,
00:06:04.000 even though I'm still,
00:06:05.140 you know,
00:06:05.540 50 pounds from where
00:06:06.740 I want to be,
00:06:07.520 which I had to lose 70
00:06:08.560 and I'm only 50 away,
00:06:09.800 so do the fucking math. 0.65
00:06:11.160 I'm killing it already.
00:06:12.020 Yeah.
00:06:14.200 I,
00:06:14.960 you know,
00:06:16.760 have all the pieces in play.
00:06:18.400 You know what I'm saying?
00:06:19.040 I'm on top of my fitness.
00:06:20.340 I'm on top of my business.
00:06:21.520 I'm on top of my relationship.
00:06:23.080 I'm on top of my,
00:06:23.940 you know,
00:06:24.660 spirituality relationships.
00:06:25.880 And when you're in that zone
00:06:27.300 and you get all those
00:06:27.940 pieces together, man,
00:06:29.180 it's a powerful state of mind.
00:06:30.840 You know,
00:06:31.560 and that's where I'm at.
00:06:32.380 It's not that I'm in a good mood.
00:06:33.540 It's that I've got everything
00:06:34.460 fucking going the way
00:06:36.040 I need it to.
00:06:36.740 Yeah.
00:06:37.020 And, you know,
00:06:37.900 it feels good.
00:06:38.660 Yeah.
00:06:38.940 You know,
00:06:39.280 I,
00:06:39.400 I actually,
00:06:42.160 we started a new,
00:06:45.340 we started a new project
00:06:47.940 that I don't really want
00:06:50.100 to say anything about
00:06:50.920 because we don't have
00:06:52.860 the finished product
00:06:53.480 put up yet,
00:06:54.240 but we've built,
00:06:55.260 me and Jason
00:06:56.160 and our formulator,
00:06:58.840 Ben put together
00:07:00.440 a,
00:07:00.760 a product
00:07:02.200 for brain function
00:07:03.540 and cognitive function
00:07:04.840 about four or five years ago.
00:07:06.560 We put this together
00:07:07.200 and it's just,
00:07:07.860 it's a product
00:07:09.240 that we made for us
00:07:10.140 that I,
00:07:13.400 I don't want to even
00:07:15.160 really talk about it,
00:07:15.960 but we're actually going
00:07:16.540 to start offering it
00:07:17.220 to the public.
00:07:17.860 It's something
00:07:18.360 that we just made for us.
00:07:19.520 We just only did for us.
00:07:21.780 Is it like the pills
00:07:23.440 in Limitless?
00:07:24.660 It's,
00:07:25.220 yeah,
00:07:26.160 I mean,
00:07:26.440 basically.
00:07:26.920 Yeah,
00:07:27.140 it's a,
00:07:27.740 it's a,
00:07:28.520 it's an energy,
00:07:29.800 it's not a fat burner,
00:07:31.120 it's a fucking energy,
00:07:32.220 cognitive function,
00:07:33.480 focused supplement
00:07:34.360 and,
00:07:34.960 you know,
00:07:35.820 if you know anything
00:07:36.520 about the products
00:07:37.360 that we manufacture
00:07:38.120 at First Form,
00:07:38.740 we manufacture
00:07:39.300 the fucking best products
00:07:40.460 and if you don't think
00:07:41.120 they're the best
00:07:41.620 and you ever buy
00:07:42.160 a product from us,
00:07:43.180 I'll give you
00:07:43.600 110% money back guarantee
00:07:45.400 if you think anybody
00:07:46.300 makes a better product
00:07:47.160 because they fucking don't. 0.70
00:07:48.820 Right.
00:07:48.920 All right?
00:07:49.740 And this product
00:07:50.560 is no different.
00:07:51.100 It's something that we made
00:07:51.920 for ourselves
00:07:52.520 but we never really
00:07:53.900 thought about selling it
00:07:54.700 and the reality of,
00:07:56.860 you know,
00:07:57.600 what,
00:07:58.080 the impact it's made,
00:08:00.620 it's almost,
00:08:02.580 it's almost hard,
00:08:05.360 it's hard to describe
00:08:06.400 the impact that it makes
00:08:07.540 on me personally
00:08:08.600 when I'm taking it
00:08:09.400 versus when I'm not taking it
00:08:10.540 so it's something
00:08:11.540 that we've got coming out.
00:08:12.560 It's going to be called
00:08:13.140 Master Brain
00:08:14.160 which is what the name
00:08:15.380 of the product's going to be
00:08:16.120 but we won't have that out
00:08:17.200 for,
00:08:18.140 I don't know,
00:08:19.860 at least a couple more weeks.
00:08:20.980 And when we do,
00:08:21.520 I'll talk about it
00:08:22.160 and tell everybody about it
00:08:23.060 but I mean,
00:08:23.460 it's going to be,
00:08:24.020 it's going to be some
00:08:24.640 really,
00:08:25.300 really good shit.
00:08:26.340 I've been using it
00:08:26.840 for four or five years.
00:08:27.720 Awesome.
00:08:28.680 Awesome.
00:08:29.340 Something that,
00:08:30.380 you know,
00:08:30.880 I believe in
00:08:32.380 and part of what you're saying,
00:08:34.100 you know,
00:08:34.280 oh,
00:08:34.420 you're in a good mood.
00:08:35.660 That's,
00:08:36.100 you know,
00:08:37.040 that's part of the reason
00:08:38.480 why is I'm back
00:08:39.180 on that product.
00:08:40.180 Right.
00:08:40.660 So.
00:08:41.180 Right.
00:08:42.140 That's awesome.
00:08:42.440 As you could tell,
00:08:43.120 I mean,
00:08:43.780 you could tell my attention
00:08:44.980 has been on a different level too.
00:08:47.380 Right.
00:08:47.620 In terms of like focus.
00:08:48.700 Yeah.
00:08:48.860 So that's what really helps me
00:08:50.160 because I'm a fucking
00:08:50.960 million mile an hour dude
00:08:52.960 and to get my attention
00:08:54.700 for even 10 seconds
00:08:55.840 is really fucking hard to do
00:08:56.940 because when you're talking to me,
00:08:58.580 I'm thinking about
00:09:00.420 the 10 other things
00:09:01.240 that I need to do right now.
00:09:02.660 So.
00:09:03.320 It's true, folks.
00:09:04.160 Yeah.
00:09:05.000 It helps.
00:09:06.180 So.
00:09:06.480 So at this point,
00:09:07.300 I see you've learned
00:09:08.400 to deal with it too.
00:09:09.280 I have.
00:09:09.660 Like you just,
00:09:10.420 you just be quiet
00:09:11.460 until you know
00:09:12.340 I've got my focus,
00:09:13.080 you've got my focus
00:09:13.740 and then I,
00:09:14.320 then I start talking.
00:09:15.940 No, actually,
00:09:16.520 I mean,
00:09:16.720 in all seriousness,
00:09:17.240 it's kind of fun
00:09:18.060 to become a student of you
00:09:19.580 and figure out
00:09:20.080 what works the best for you,
00:09:21.440 which is what I try to do
00:09:22.540 with everybody.
00:09:23.060 Yeah, you're figuring it out.
00:09:23.700 I mean,
00:09:23.900 most people don't.
00:09:24.800 Yeah.
00:09:24.920 Most people just fucking talk anyway.
00:09:26.860 Yeah.
00:09:27.200 And see what you,
00:09:28.100 what you figured out
00:09:28.960 is something that,
00:09:29.880 that almost nobody else
00:09:32.260 that I think of
00:09:33.220 has figured out yet
00:09:34.380 is that you just don't talk
00:09:36.220 because you know
00:09:36.780 I'm not paying attention.
00:09:37.720 Other people will talk
00:09:38.800 and they'll talk anyway
00:09:40.940 in that time
00:09:41.680 when I'm like linked
00:09:42.500 into other information,
00:09:43.400 even though I'm looking
00:09:44.080 and I'm right in the face
00:09:45.000 and I'm not listening
00:09:46.900 and they'll talk
00:09:48.900 and I don't fucking hear 0.81
00:09:50.400 a word they say.
00:09:51.140 So here's my take on that
00:09:52.660 and the reason
00:09:53.540 that I came to the conclusion
00:09:54.740 that that was the best thing
00:09:55.600 to do is that
00:09:57.000 when you're locked into something,
00:09:59.020 you're locked in.
00:09:59.740 Oh, dude.
00:10:00.120 So there's no point
00:10:01.860 in me talking.
00:10:02.960 It could be an earthquake,
00:10:04.140 it could be a fire,
00:10:04.940 I wouldn't even notice.
00:10:05.680 Yeah.
00:10:05.880 The good news about that
00:10:06.940 is that when you do turn
00:10:08.040 your attention to somebody,
00:10:09.040 I know you're locked in.
00:10:09.780 Yeah, right.
00:10:10.240 Exactly.
00:10:10.460 So that's great.
00:10:11.680 Anyway, let's do some Q&A.
00:10:12.860 All right, Q&A.
00:10:13.580 So do you want to start
00:10:14.220 with the heavier questions
00:10:15.020 or the soft pitches?
00:10:16.600 It doesn't matter, man.
00:10:17.780 All right, we'll just start
00:10:18.600 with this one
00:10:19.280 because honestly,
00:10:20.080 we've gotten this a lot, okay?
00:10:22.480 And that is,
00:10:23.320 we've gotten a question
00:10:24.520 and this I think ties in
00:10:26.080 a little bit
00:10:26.620 to something you addressed
00:10:28.340 a podcast or two ago
00:10:30.540 where you talked about depression.
00:10:31.920 But we've had a lot of people say,
00:10:33.700 man, when I'm working my plan
00:10:34.900 and I'm doing
00:10:35.320 my entrepreneurial thing,
00:10:36.780 it can feel real lonely
00:10:38.540 and real isolated.
00:10:39.620 Yeah.
00:10:39.740 How do you endure that?
00:10:41.240 Or just general comments
00:10:42.680 about that.
00:10:44.260 You know,
00:10:45.300 I had this question
00:10:46.640 on Instagram actually yesterday,
00:10:48.500 very, very similar question.
00:10:49.900 I wonder if it's not
00:10:50.420 the same person that asked it.
00:10:52.080 But it said something
00:10:55.300 in regards to,
00:10:56.260 you know,
00:10:57.040 if you step out
00:10:57.800 in your dreams,
00:10:58.400 you're stepping out alone
00:10:59.600 and nobody's with you
00:11:00.800 and this and that.
00:11:02.140 And that's what people,
00:11:03.800 that's what it seems like
00:11:05.140 when you first start out.
00:11:06.260 Like when you first start out
00:11:07.520 in a business idea,
00:11:09.060 it's going to seem
00:11:10.460 like you're alone
00:11:11.160 because you're surrounded
00:11:12.580 by, you know,
00:11:14.000 quote unquote
00:11:14.720 average folks, okay?
00:11:17.260 And that's your circle.
00:11:18.540 So you step out,
00:11:19.560 you're alone, right?
00:11:21.060 But eventually what happens is,
00:11:22.960 is you find a new group
00:11:24.120 that is also entrepreneurial minded
00:11:26.220 and you go with them.
00:11:27.320 So, I mean,
00:11:27.980 it's perception.
00:11:29.140 It's like a,
00:11:30.900 it's a transition,
00:11:32.440 you know?
00:11:32.720 So it's not a lonely thing.
00:11:34.160 Like there's people
00:11:35.420 that understand it.
00:11:36.220 I mean,
00:11:36.380 I have my circle of friends
00:11:37.520 and some of them
00:11:38.040 are even competitors
00:11:38.980 that I talk to
00:11:40.120 on a fucking daily basis
00:11:41.540 that like,
00:11:42.460 dude,
00:11:42.620 we like console each other almost.
00:11:44.660 Like, hey, bro,
00:11:45.840 are you having
00:11:46.220 a fucking terrible month?
00:11:47.140 Yeah, I am too, man.
00:11:48.180 I mean,
00:11:48.740 that's,
00:11:49.420 it's,
00:11:50.520 you find new friends
00:11:52.120 and those friends,
00:11:54.540 you know,
00:11:54.900 understand what it is
00:11:55.900 that you're going through
00:11:56.520 and that's the way it is.
00:11:57.400 It's just a transition.
00:11:59.140 So, to say like
00:12:00.020 entrepreneurship is lonely,
00:12:01.280 no fucking way, man.
00:12:02.380 Because like,
00:12:03.480 dude,
00:12:03.840 and here's the cool thing
00:12:05.740 that people don't realize
00:12:06.860 is that the quality
00:12:07.800 of your relationships
00:12:08.640 gets so much better.
00:12:11.140 Right.
00:12:11.500 You know,
00:12:11.840 like, dude,
00:12:12.300 when I,
00:12:12.740 when I was like,
00:12:14.720 because I've always been
00:12:15.400 an entrepreneur,
00:12:16.020 but I'm saying like
00:12:16.500 in the early phases of business,
00:12:17.920 I hung around like,
00:12:19.420 quote unquote,
00:12:20.000 like regular Joe dudes
00:12:21.140 and there's nothing wrong
00:12:21.960 with regular Joe dudes.
00:12:23.000 I like them.
00:12:23.660 I prefer to hang
00:12:24.420 with those guys,
00:12:25.020 but I don't listen to them
00:12:26.620 when they start talking
00:12:27.380 about their fucking shit
00:12:28.820 that they talk about
00:12:29.620 when they get drunk.
00:12:31.080 Like,
00:12:31.220 oh,
00:12:31.540 fucking my boss sucks
00:12:32.700 and blah,
00:12:33.080 blah.
00:12:33.200 I don't,
00:12:33.840 like,
00:12:34.020 dude,
00:12:34.120 if you want to have
00:12:34.480 a fucking beer
00:12:34.940 with your friend
00:12:35.440 who's a fucking 1.00
00:12:35.900 regular Joe dude,
00:12:36.740 good.
00:12:37.220 I love people like that,
00:12:38.460 but you got to learn
00:12:39.440 when to fucking
00:12:39.920 turn your ears off.
00:12:41.420 You know what I mean?
00:12:41.960 Absolutely.
00:12:42.500 So,
00:12:43.620 you know,
00:12:45.580 the qualities
00:12:46.500 of the relationships
00:12:47.500 are so much better
00:12:48.760 once you find
00:12:50.160 that new group
00:12:50.940 than they were before
00:12:52.400 in terms of like,
00:12:55.160 you know,
00:12:55.780 the conversations had,
00:12:57.040 the friendships had,
00:12:57.940 the bonds that are made
00:12:58.980 because of how much
00:12:59.640 you have in common
00:13:00.300 and like,
00:13:00.780 dude,
00:13:01.300 you know,
00:13:01.600 I see people
00:13:02.200 a lot of times
00:13:03.220 really shy away
00:13:04.500 from the entrepreneur life
00:13:06.460 because they think
00:13:07.440 they're going to be alone.
00:13:08.360 Well,
00:13:08.540 no,
00:13:08.760 you're not going to be alone.
00:13:09.760 You're just not going to be
00:13:10.220 with the same people
00:13:10.720 you were with.
00:13:12.000 Right.
00:13:12.400 You know what I mean?
00:13:12.960 Right.
00:13:13.180 I think you nailed it
00:13:13.840 with the word quality
00:13:15.500 because I think
00:13:16.180 anytime anybody
00:13:16.940 commits themselves
00:13:18.320 to excellence,
00:13:19.160 whether it's
00:13:19.500 in entrepreneurialism
00:13:20.540 or sports
00:13:21.620 or whatever,
00:13:22.500 well,
00:13:22.680 that's also why
00:13:23.380 when you're an entrepreneur,
00:13:24.500 like a lot of your good friends
00:13:25.880 will become athletes.
00:13:27.300 Right.
00:13:27.760 A lot of my fucking
00:13:28.660 really good friends
00:13:29.360 that I talked to
00:13:30.020 were either ex-athletes
00:13:31.440 or are athletes
00:13:32.400 because not because
00:13:33.780 they're out there
00:13:34.480 chasing a goal
00:13:36.120 is chasing a goal.
00:13:37.140 Being competitive
00:13:37.720 is being competitive.
00:13:39.160 You know what I'm saying?
00:13:39.800 The process of athletics
00:13:40.920 is the same
00:13:41.560 as entrepreneurship,
00:13:43.000 you know,
00:13:43.280 and so you,
00:13:43.960 you build those
00:13:44.820 common values
00:13:45.860 and you know,
00:13:47.260 you're not just
00:13:48.500 sitting around
00:13:49.360 looking for what dude
00:13:51.220 what cow 0.92
00:13:52.140 you're going to go
00:13:52.560 tip next.
00:13:53.160 Right.
00:13:53.540 Right.
00:13:53.780 And when you transition
00:13:54.820 out of the crowd,
00:13:55.960 I think people are right
00:13:57.060 that there is that period
00:13:58.000 of time where you're
00:13:58.660 not around a lot of people
00:14:00.240 because when you're average,
00:14:01.480 you're part of the crowd
00:14:02.740 and when you're not average,
00:14:03.940 you start leaving that behind.
00:14:05.280 So I think,
00:14:05.720 Right.
00:14:06.000 And that crossover time
00:14:07.020 is when you feel alone.
00:14:07.700 Right.
00:14:08.020 That's when you cross over. 0.96
00:14:09.040 But what you really,
00:14:10.160 I love the word
00:14:10.840 that you use,
00:14:11.460 you use quality
00:14:12.060 because what excellence
00:14:13.580 ends up doing
00:14:14.400 is you trade in quantity
00:14:15.700 for quality.
00:14:16.400 That's right.
00:14:16.720 So that's right.
00:14:17.680 So and the relationships
00:14:18.700 are that much deeper
00:14:19.740 and better.
00:14:20.260 Look, man,
00:14:21.480 you know,
00:14:21.800 I had somebody tell me,
00:14:23.100 you know,
00:14:23.800 how many real friends
00:14:24.760 do you fucking have now? 0.93
00:14:26.220 I'm like,
00:14:26.720 not many.
00:14:27.220 And that's the way
00:14:27.620 I fucking want it.
00:14:28.700 Right.
00:14:29.060 You know what I'm saying?
00:14:30.020 Right.
00:14:30.320 I don't want a fucking
00:14:31.160 million people around me.
00:14:32.400 Right.
00:14:32.780 I don't.
00:14:33.480 First of all,
00:14:34.940 you know,
00:14:35.460 I don't,
00:14:35.940 I could get on,
00:14:37.440 I go on a fucking
00:14:38.080 long rampage here,
00:14:39.700 but I'm not.
00:14:40.640 The bottom line is,
00:14:41.800 is that that loneliness
00:14:42.820 is a temporary perception.
00:14:44.640 Right.
00:14:45.320 You're going to transition
00:14:46.140 into fucking into a new group. 0.88
00:14:48.280 You're going to find
00:14:49.040 new people to connect with.
00:14:50.060 And those relationships
00:14:50.740 are going to be much better
00:14:52.040 than the ones you have.
00:14:52.620 Yeah.
00:14:52.980 Yeah.
00:14:53.340 Let me,
00:14:53.800 let me use another weird analogy.
00:14:56.860 There's a young woman
00:14:58.420 that my,
00:14:58.940 my wife and I know,
00:14:59.900 and she's beautiful
00:15:01.140 and intelligent
00:15:01.820 and just all these
00:15:03.480 incredible qualities.
00:15:04.640 All right.
00:15:06.580 She can't find a guy 0.97
00:15:07.620 to save her life.
00:15:08.300 And everybody's always saying like,
00:15:09.920 well,
00:15:10.360 what's the matter with her? 1.00
00:15:11.480 And our answer is,
00:15:12.360 there's absolutely nothing
00:15:13.960 that's the matter with her. 0.98
00:15:15.100 It's exact opposite.
00:15:16.080 She's of such a high quality
00:15:17.460 that there's just not
00:15:19.480 a lot of dudes on her level.
00:15:20.840 And so I,
00:15:21.480 I think,
00:15:22.280 I think part of the loneliness
00:15:24.180 that people experience
00:15:25.840 might be a real indication
00:15:28.000 that they're the right
00:15:29.500 kind of person,
00:15:30.380 that they're doing something right.
00:15:31.640 Oh yeah.
00:15:31.860 No question.
00:15:32.320 That they're,
00:15:32.520 they're,
00:15:32.860 they're isolating themselves
00:15:34.040 because they're so committed to it.
00:15:35.100 Dude,
00:15:35.180 you think there's something
00:15:35.840 wrong with you?
00:15:36.660 Yeah.
00:15:36.960 Like dude,
00:15:37.460 you know,
00:15:37.760 I read an awesome fucking book
00:15:39.260 on this.
00:15:41.160 Our,
00:15:41.760 a good friend of our company,
00:15:43.140 her name is Paula.
00:15:44.100 She recommended a book
00:15:45.620 to me called Relentless
00:15:48.200 by Tim Grover.
00:15:48.960 And I've talked about it
00:15:49.700 on my Snapchat before,
00:15:50.580 but dude,
00:15:51.500 that book is so awesome
00:15:52.860 for people who are like
00:15:53.920 entrepreneurs
00:15:54.800 for a number of reasons.
00:15:55.920 But the biggest thing
00:15:56.800 I took away from that book
00:15:57.860 was that there's nothing wrong
00:15:59.180 with the way that I fucking think.
00:16:00.400 Like I used to look in the mirror
00:16:01.560 and be,
00:16:01.820 cause dude,
00:16:02.140 everybody literally
00:16:03.060 would,
00:16:04.100 will point at you.
00:16:05.540 Like dude,
00:16:06.060 when you're super ambitious
00:16:07.000 and super hungry
00:16:07.800 and super entrepreneurial
00:16:09.260 and wanting to fucking 0.99
00:16:10.740 like literally conquer shit,
00:16:12.560 like that's how I am.
00:16:13.400 I'm like a,
00:16:15.120 I'm like triple A
00:16:16.100 entrepreneur killer.
00:16:17.220 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:18.100 Like we talk about Gary,
00:16:19.260 that's what Gary's like.
00:16:20.640 Gary,
00:16:20.900 Gary V.
00:16:21.700 Right.
00:16:21.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:22.380 There's not,
00:16:23.100 there's levels of entrepreneurship.
00:16:25.080 Okay.
00:16:25.460 And that's how I am.
00:16:26.300 I'm like fucking triple A.
00:16:27.980 I want to go fucking destroy earth
00:16:30.100 and do it my way.
00:16:32.280 There's not a lot of those people,
00:16:33.760 but we,
00:16:34.220 that group of people
00:16:35.820 you want to talk about
00:16:37.040 having a fucking hard time
00:16:38.120 finding people to relate to.
00:16:39.520 You know what I mean?
00:16:40.720 So,
00:16:41.600 you know,
00:16:41.880 most entrepreneurs can find
00:16:43.120 like other quote unquote
00:16:44.200 sane entrepreneurs.
00:16:45.520 You know,
00:16:46.000 I'm like the kind of dude
00:16:46.880 that like,
00:16:47.520 it's all I fucking do
00:16:48.560 and all I talk about
00:16:49.320 and all I think about.
00:16:50.520 And that book was cool
00:16:52.880 because it made me realize
00:16:54.180 that I'm not alone in that matter.
00:16:55.480 I've only met,
00:16:56.240 I've only met two other people
00:16:57.580 in my life ever.
00:16:59.220 And I'm not even gonna say
00:16:59.800 who they are,
00:17:00.400 but two other people in my life
00:17:01.900 that I can honestly relate to
00:17:03.720 that are like me
00:17:04.960 in that manner too.
00:17:07.080 In my whole fucking 36 years of life. 0.66
00:17:09.360 Right.
00:17:10.100 You know what I mean?
00:17:10.740 No,
00:17:11.080 I,
00:17:11.220 I,
00:17:11.760 so,
00:17:12.040 so read that book
00:17:12.780 if you're an entrepreneur
00:17:13.380 and you want to.
00:17:13.880 Is that the,
00:17:14.320 is that the sports agent?
00:17:15.620 Yeah,
00:17:15.780 yeah,
00:17:15.980 no,
00:17:16.280 no,
00:17:16.360 he's a trainer.
00:17:17.000 He's Michael Jordan's trainer.
00:17:17.800 Okay.
00:17:18.380 And Kobe's I think,
00:17:19.500 right?
00:17:19.600 Yeah,
00:17:19.680 Kobe's a bunch of dudes.
00:17:20.880 Relentless.
00:17:21.160 He's badass motherfucker.
00:17:22.240 I would love to get Tim Grover
00:17:23.980 on the fucking podcast. 0.98
00:17:24.920 Yeah,
00:17:25.100 Tim Grover,
00:17:26.680 call us.
00:17:27.460 Yeah,
00:17:27.760 he's badass.
00:17:28.560 Yeah,
00:17:28.840 so we'll,
00:17:29.460 we'll slap up a link.
00:17:30.400 He looks bad too.
00:17:31.380 Like he looks badass.
00:17:32.760 Like,
00:17:32.900 yeah,
00:17:33.260 like he's like clean cut
00:17:34.460 and like,
00:17:35.580 like a,
00:17:36.340 like a good looking dude.
00:17:37.460 Yeah.
00:17:37.880 But he has that look
00:17:38.920 like I'll fucking kill you. 0.93
00:17:40.160 Yeah.
00:17:40.500 You know what I'm saying?
00:17:41.180 Yeah.
00:17:41.500 Like he's just,
00:17:42.220 like he's scary.
00:17:42.940 Like I look at him
00:17:43.660 and I'm like,
00:17:44.120 I don't look at many people
00:17:45.000 and think,
00:17:45.340 dude,
00:17:45.460 that guy looks scary.
00:17:46.820 Like that dude
00:17:47.280 looks fucking scary.
00:17:48.340 Do you think
00:17:48.880 he started out looking that way
00:17:50.780 and that helped determine
00:17:51.720 his success
00:17:52.320 or do you think
00:17:52.900 he developed that killer look?
00:17:54.320 I think if I didn't know
00:17:55.240 what he was about,
00:17:55.900 I wouldn't think that of him.
00:17:57.220 I would just be like,
00:17:57.680 that's a good looking dude.
00:17:58.460 Yeah.
00:17:58.780 But he just looks like he,
00:17:59.820 but after reading the book,
00:18:00.720 I'm like,
00:18:01.040 fuck dude,
00:18:01.420 I don't want,
00:18:02.040 I don't want to train with that guy.
00:18:03.160 Yeah.
00:18:03.900 Fucking kill you.
00:18:04.840 Yeah.
00:18:05.160 I don't really notice
00:18:05.880 if guys are good looking.
00:18:06.800 I mean,
00:18:07.020 other than Tyler.
00:18:08.540 I do.
00:18:09.200 Cause I'm secure in my sexuality.
00:18:11.300 That was going,
00:18:12.180 I set myself up for that one.
00:18:14.080 I could admit
00:18:14.940 if dudes are good looking or not.
00:18:16.240 Don't bother me.
00:18:18.160 All right.
00:18:18.740 I prefer the females. 1.00
00:18:19.860 So,
00:18:20.200 so hopefully that,
00:18:21.660 that answered the question
00:18:22.660 of isolation and loneliness.
00:18:24.120 I think it did.
00:18:24.760 The other question
00:18:25.460 that we get a lot.
00:18:27.320 And I think it obviously
00:18:28.600 depends on who you are.
00:18:30.540 You know,
00:18:31.080 Andy's,
00:18:31.680 Andy's answer is going to depend
00:18:32.760 on who you are,
00:18:33.360 but this question of transition,
00:18:35.040 you know,
00:18:35.260 like people that are in 40 hour jobs 0.94
00:18:38.100 that they hate,
00:18:39.060 they've got dreams,
00:18:40.160 but they're like,
00:18:41.400 how do I phase out of this job
00:18:43.940 and into my dream?
00:18:44.720 I mean,
00:18:45.140 you know that there's different,
00:18:46.260 people are different life situations,
00:18:47.860 but generally speaking,
00:18:48.780 the funny thing about this question
00:18:50.000 is that almost everybody
00:18:51.560 who asks it,
00:18:52.740 asks it before they started
00:18:54.720 their business.
00:18:55.960 They're like,
00:18:56.580 it's like they're trying,
00:18:57.380 and this goes back
00:18:58.040 to the same thing
00:18:59.060 that I've said
00:18:59.860 a million fucking times. 0.69
00:19:02.280 You cannot plan this out.
00:19:04.300 This will not go as planned.
00:19:06.340 No matter how carefully
00:19:07.800 you decide
00:19:08.640 to map out this plan,
00:19:10.320 it will be different
00:19:11.620 than what you think
00:19:12.480 it will be.
00:19:13.600 Okay?
00:19:14.360 And every time
00:19:15.680 I get that question,
00:19:16.700 I ask people,
00:19:17.400 I said,
00:19:17.800 well,
00:19:18.140 how long have you been in business?
00:19:19.000 Well,
00:19:19.160 I haven't yet,
00:19:19.820 but I'm trying to figure out
00:19:20.520 how to transition.
00:19:21.740 Well,
00:19:21.900 the first step
00:19:22.520 would be to start
00:19:23.000 a fucking business. 0.55
00:19:24.280 Okay?
00:19:25.000 Because this is a simple
00:19:26.520 fucking answer. 0.76
00:19:27.520 Very fucking simple.
00:19:29.220 What do you,
00:19:29.780 Vaughn,
00:19:30.060 you could answer this question.
00:19:31.520 What do you think
00:19:32.420 would be the logical time
00:19:33.640 to transition from
00:19:34.600 your real job?
00:19:37.000 Actually,
00:19:37.700 I'm going to ask
00:19:38.060 fucking Tyler.
00:19:39.280 Tyler,
00:19:39.720 what would be the logical time
00:19:41.060 if you started a business
00:19:42.220 to transition
00:19:43.340 from
00:19:44.360 your job
00:19:46.220 to running
00:19:47.340 your own business?
00:19:48.440 Immediately.
00:19:49.900 You think immediately?
00:19:51.180 Immediately.
00:19:52.460 How big of a transition
00:19:53.680 are we talking,
00:19:54.260 though, exactly?
00:19:54.540 Talking about transitioning
00:19:55.540 to where you're not working
00:19:57.360 at all
00:19:58.480 in your other job
00:19:59.560 and you're working
00:20:00.100 100%
00:20:00.760 in your new business.
00:20:02.040 Oof.
00:20:03.260 I mean,
00:20:03.820 as long as you can
00:20:04.580 take care of your bills.
00:20:05.720 There you go.
00:20:06.720 That's it.
00:20:07.440 Right.
00:20:07.940 That's it.
00:20:09.640 That's it.
00:20:10.500 How many businesses
00:20:11.280 have you fucking run? 0.90
00:20:12.340 You know,
00:20:12.800 you,
00:20:13.180 you know,
00:20:13.780 really?
00:20:14.120 I can't even run my own job.
00:20:15.200 Dude,
00:20:15.680 yeah,
00:20:15.880 you can.
00:20:16.340 But the point is,
00:20:17.200 is that,
00:20:17.980 dude,
00:20:18.760 everybody knows
00:20:19.460 the answer to that question.
00:20:20.740 Right.
00:20:21.080 Did you know
00:20:21.540 the answer to that question?
00:20:22.660 Yeah.
00:20:23.160 Everybody fucking knows
00:20:24.220 the answer.
00:20:24.660 When's the answer?
00:20:25.260 The answer is
00:20:25.820 when you can pay
00:20:26.680 your fucking bills
00:20:27.480 and survive
00:20:28.280 on the new job,
00:20:29.960 then you fucking 0.97
00:20:30.820 cut the old one loose
00:20:31.900 and you move forward.
00:20:33.080 Right.
00:20:33.400 This whole question
00:20:34.640 of the transition
00:20:35.400 comes from people
00:20:36.600 who are fucking terrified
00:20:38.140 to even start a business.
00:20:40.260 Right.
00:20:40.700 Because it actually
00:20:41.760 works itself out
00:20:43.120 really fucking easy.
00:20:44.960 Okay?
00:20:45.280 So,
00:20:45.660 whoever asked that question,
00:20:47.040 go start a business.
00:20:48.040 But I bet you won't
00:20:48.860 because of the nature
00:20:50.520 of the question
00:20:51.080 tells me you're
00:20:51.600 too fucking scared
00:20:52.220 to do it.
00:20:52.740 Yeah,
00:20:52.940 and let me throw
00:20:53.300 this out there.
00:20:53.900 I actually got married
00:20:55.260 a lot later in life.
00:20:56.200 I didn't get married
00:20:56.680 until I was 38.
00:20:57.860 And I got to tell you,
00:20:59.000 to all you single people
00:20:59.880 out there,
00:21:01.060 any one of those years
00:21:02.480 after college
00:21:03.220 or even before,
00:21:04.480 I could have,
00:21:05.080 I could have,
00:21:05.740 I could have quit my job
00:21:07.540 and I could have made it work
00:21:08.740 because,
00:21:09.700 I mean.
00:21:10.160 But the fear is so big,
00:21:11.560 dude.
00:21:12.080 The fear is so big
00:21:13.000 for people.
00:21:13.620 They're like,
00:21:14.880 oh my God.
00:21:15.160 But I mean,
00:21:15.300 you can live at,
00:21:15.920 you can live at friends' house.
00:21:16.960 No,
00:21:17.100 they don't want to give up
00:21:17.780 the little luxuries.
00:21:18.600 You can defer your,
00:21:19.220 yeah.
00:21:19.340 They don't want to give up
00:21:19.880 the little luxuries.
00:21:20.460 No,
00:21:20.520 that's the issue.
00:21:21.120 They got a fucking apartment,
00:21:22.700 you know,
00:21:22.960 they got a $600,
00:21:24.040 $700 a month apartment,
00:21:25.760 they got a fucking 0.95
00:21:26.380 50 inch TV screen,
00:21:28.040 and they got their
00:21:28.540 PlayStation,
00:21:29.260 and they don't want
00:21:29.520 to give their shit up.
00:21:30.240 Right.
00:21:30.780 And they don't want to give up
00:21:31.440 with beers with the fucking buddies, 0.93
00:21:33.040 and they don't want to give up
00:21:33.960 date night,
00:21:34.960 and they don't want to give up,
00:21:36.020 you know,
00:21:36.320 social time,
00:21:37.300 and they don't want to give up
00:21:37.960 going to the Cardinals game.
00:21:39.380 They don't want to give
00:21:40.040 that shit up.
00:21:40.600 Right.
00:21:41.120 So,
00:21:41.500 if you don't want to give that up,
00:21:43.200 that's fine,
00:21:44.460 but don't fucking cry about it. 0.91
00:21:46.300 Right.
00:21:46.980 You know what I'm saying?
00:21:47.660 Because,
00:21:48.100 dude,
00:21:48.280 for you to get your business going,
00:21:50.540 you're going to have to
00:21:51.460 give some shit up. 0.94
00:21:52.980 Mm-hmm.
00:21:53.900 Mm-hmm.
00:21:54.820 You know what I'm saying?
00:21:55.500 Absolutely.
00:21:56.260 So,
00:21:58.000 you asking this question
00:21:59.520 about when to transition
00:22:00.860 is really fucking simple,
00:22:02.920 and for all you little
00:22:03.760 delicate flowers out there
00:22:05.340 that are listening,
00:22:06.320 and thinking the same,
00:22:07.000 well,
00:22:07.160 Andy,
00:22:07.340 you're being very harsh.
00:22:08.200 I'm being harsh
00:22:08.740 for a fucking reason, 0.81
00:22:09.980 because maybe entrepreneurship
00:22:10.980 isn't for you,
00:22:11.920 because that question
00:22:12.780 would take care of itself.
00:22:14.520 Mm-hmm.
00:22:15.680 Next question.
00:22:16.660 Yeah.
00:22:17.240 I love it.
00:22:18.120 Okay.
00:22:19.600 So,
00:22:20.040 Andy,
00:22:20.480 how do you determine
00:22:21.620 the difference between
00:22:22.440 second-guessing yourself
00:22:23.880 and honest introspection,
00:22:26.720 honest analysis?
00:22:27.300 It feels the exact same.
00:22:29.040 Okay.
00:22:29.660 Your job.
00:22:30.940 Okay.
00:22:31.420 I'm going to tell you
00:22:31.840 how I do this,
00:22:32.600 and I learned this
00:22:33.320 from my dad,
00:22:34.760 all right,
00:22:35.080 and we talk about
00:22:35.800 my dad a lot.
00:22:37.140 I don't have any
00:22:37.980 fucking heroes in life.
00:22:39.200 I don't.
00:22:40.080 I have my dad.
00:22:42.000 My dad did a fucking
00:22:43.020 great job raising me,
00:22:44.260 in my opinion.
00:22:45.180 He taught me a lot of shit,
00:22:46.780 and this is something
00:22:47.500 that he taught me.
00:22:48.220 I didn't make this up,
00:22:49.040 so I'm going to give credit to him.
00:22:50.580 You have to pretend
00:22:51.800 that you work for you,
00:22:53.820 okay?
00:22:54.580 You are an employee of you,
00:22:57.200 all right?
00:22:58.160 When you make decisions,
00:23:00.100 you have to, like,
00:23:01.100 pretend that you are
00:23:02.600 looking at you
00:23:03.440 and as a CEO
00:23:06.360 and this guy
00:23:07.640 has come to you,
00:23:08.960 you have come to you,
00:23:10.060 all right,
00:23:10.960 and asked you the question,
00:23:12.940 should I do this
00:23:13.600 or should I do that?
00:23:15.380 Do you get what I'm saying?
00:23:16.200 Absolutely.
00:23:16.720 Because it removes
00:23:17.500 all emotion
00:23:18.280 from the decision
00:23:19.220 and you can make
00:23:20.260 the decision clearly.
00:23:21.320 So, like,
00:23:21.840 the difference between,
00:23:23.180 so I'm actually saying,
00:23:25.480 imagine yourself,
00:23:26.200 I'm being literal.
00:23:27.060 Yeah.
00:23:27.220 Imagine yourself,
00:23:28.160 you're you
00:23:28.660 and then you have you
00:23:30.040 that comes to you
00:23:31.660 as an employee
00:23:32.760 and he works for you
00:23:34.340 and he comes to you
00:23:35.920 and he says,
00:23:36.880 Mr. Frisella,
00:23:37.840 I've got this concern
00:23:39.840 and I've got this concern.
00:23:41.540 What would you tell that person?
00:23:43.680 And that's the right answer.
00:23:45.300 That way you take out
00:23:46.300 all the emotion,
00:23:47.420 all the fucking, 0.99
00:23:48.300 like,
00:23:48.820 and that's how you could tell,
00:23:50.000 like,
00:23:50.340 what is, like,
00:23:51.540 paranoid,
00:23:52.960 crazy,
00:23:53.420 second-guessing stuff
00:23:54.380 and actual being self-aware.
00:23:56.840 You know what I mean?
00:23:58.120 Because it feels the same
00:23:59.200 when you try to do it
00:24:00.000 without thinking,
00:24:00.600 like,
00:24:00.780 that's how I conquered it.
00:24:02.220 You know,
00:24:02.460 when I have a hard decision,
00:24:03.780 I turn it straight over
00:24:04.860 to, like,
00:24:05.160 what I would tell an employee
00:24:06.140 if they came to me with that.
00:24:08.120 I've only heard that
00:24:08.960 one other time
00:24:10.200 in my entire life
00:24:11.220 and that was somebody
00:24:11.800 who knew a lot about
00:24:13.180 people who struggled
00:24:14.180 with dealing
00:24:15.580 with internal anxiety,
00:24:16.740 like,
00:24:16.920 overwhelming anxiety
00:24:17.800 and the way they put it is,
00:24:19.860 you don't let yourself
00:24:20.760 talk to you,
00:24:21.680 you talk to yourself.
00:24:22.680 That's right.
00:24:23.220 You're the boss of you.
00:24:24.320 You're the motherfucking CEO of you.
00:24:26.120 Yeah.
00:24:26.520 So that,
00:24:27.020 so when you comes,
00:24:28.000 when you comes to you,
00:24:29.820 when you come to yourself,
00:24:32.020 the MFCEO of you,
00:24:34.180 the bad motherfucker of you, 0.99
00:24:36.000 and that guy comes to you
00:24:37.240 with a whiny little issue,
00:24:38.440 am I second-guessing myself
00:24:39.820 or am I blah, blah, blah?
00:24:41.460 What should I do?
00:24:42.620 What the fuck
00:24:43.280 do you think you should do?
00:24:44.320 The answer is obvious.
00:24:45.300 Don't go fucking do it.
00:24:46.400 Right.
00:24:46.740 That's the answer.
00:24:47.800 Get it?
00:24:48.420 Yeah.
00:24:49.160 That's how you do it.
00:24:49.940 And I love,
00:24:50.760 I love the objective nature
00:24:51.840 of that too
00:24:52.500 because if you,
00:24:53.100 if you cast it in that way,
00:24:55.460 it takes all the,
00:24:56.540 the personal about it.
00:24:58.100 It takes all the bullshit out.
00:24:59.460 Yeah.
00:25:00.160 So,
00:25:00.540 I love it.
00:25:00.940 That's how I do it.
00:25:02.060 I don't know any other way to do it.
00:25:03.320 I was taught that
00:25:04.080 and it fucking works. 0.83
00:25:05.980 Yeah.
00:25:07.760 That goes for any,
00:25:08.600 any decisions,
00:25:09.460 by the way,
00:25:10.300 you know,
00:25:10.540 when I'm here at work,
00:25:11.480 you know,
00:25:11.680 I've got fucking dude,
00:25:12.660 I've got my best friends
00:25:13.980 in the world.
00:25:14.560 My,
00:25:14.820 my two best friends
00:25:16.120 in the whole entire world
00:25:17.020 work for me
00:25:17.700 or work with me.
00:25:19.340 Chris is my business partner.
00:25:21.440 Scott Halsey,
00:25:22.180 who runs our warehouse,
00:25:23.220 has been my best friend
00:25:24.300 since we were fucking 0.91
00:25:25.020 13 years old.
00:25:26.500 He runs our distribution
00:25:27.720 nationally,
00:25:28.320 you know,
00:25:28.800 for first form.
00:25:29.660 Did he go to be on it?
00:25:30.400 Yeah.
00:25:30.720 And I've got my brother here.
00:25:32.120 Yeah.
00:25:33.000 You know,
00:25:33.800 how the fuck am I supposed,
00:25:35.640 let me just turn this over
00:25:36.660 into another situation
00:25:37.540 because we get this question.
00:25:38.640 How do I work with my friends
00:25:40.080 and how do I manage my brother?
00:25:41.740 You're not managing
00:25:42.340 your fucking brother. 0.80
00:25:43.320 You're managing a motherfucker 0.96
00:25:44.440 that you pay to do a job.
00:25:46.380 Get it?
00:25:47.720 Different thing.
00:25:48.540 You walk out the doors,
00:25:49.560 you're brothers.
00:25:50.420 You walk in this,
00:25:51.480 you know,
00:25:51.820 you're here,
00:25:52.400 we're in this building.
00:25:53.320 No,
00:25:53.820 you're not my brother.
00:25:54.660 You are fucking paid
00:25:55.640 to do a job.
00:25:57.100 Get it?
00:25:58.120 It's not the same thing
00:25:59.400 and you have to be able
00:26:00.160 to separate those things.
00:26:01.520 You know,
00:26:02.040 letting emotions
00:26:02.820 and relationships
00:26:04.540 and friendships
00:26:05.380 and blah,
00:26:06.100 blah,
00:26:06.260 blah,
00:26:06.480 all this shit.
00:26:07.200 And if somebody doesn't get it,
00:26:08.260 let's say the other guy
00:26:09.020 doesn't get it,
00:26:09.540 you handle it that way,
00:26:10.200 he doesn't get it,
00:26:11.060 you got to pull him aside
00:26:12.000 and say,
00:26:12.280 look,
00:26:12.460 man,
00:26:14.280 you're not Scott Halsey,
00:26:16.060 my best friend
00:26:16.660 since I was 14 years old.
00:26:18.160 You're in charge
00:26:18.760 of our fucking distribution
00:26:19.780 for our company
00:26:20.460 and if you don't do this right,
00:26:22.120 it hurts everybody
00:26:22.840 in our company,
00:26:24.080 blah,
00:26:24.240 blah,
00:26:24.380 blah,
00:26:24.520 blah,
00:26:24.680 blah,
00:26:24.960 blah.
00:26:25.340 So I'm going to handle it
00:26:26.240 like that.
00:26:26.680 I'm going to handle it
00:26:27.260 if it was like anybody else.
00:26:29.160 Right.
00:26:29.720 You're not getting any special,
00:26:30.820 you know,
00:26:32.500 pats on the back
00:26:33.140 because we drink fucking beer
00:26:34.340 together and used to smoke weed
00:26:35.320 together in high school.
00:26:36.460 Sorry,
00:26:37.360 you're not getting it.
00:26:38.360 Get it?
00:26:38.960 Right.
00:26:39.260 That's how you do it.
00:26:40.100 And your real friends
00:26:40.880 and your quality family members
00:26:42.140 will totally respect that.
00:26:43.480 No question.
00:26:43.940 Yeah,
00:26:44.120 if they don't,
00:26:44.800 then you do.
00:26:45.460 And you don't even have
00:26:46.140 to manage them like that
00:26:47.140 because that's,
00:26:48.200 they work their asses off
00:26:50.360 because we're all in it together,
00:26:51.820 right?
00:26:52.260 That comes down to having
00:26:52.940 the right culture.
00:26:53.640 But what I'm telling,
00:26:54.980 I am,
00:26:55.480 I am answering a question
00:26:57.680 that I get a lot.
00:26:59.140 You know what I mean?
00:26:59.920 And if you instill
00:27:00.580 the right culture in your company,
00:27:01.720 you're not going to have
00:27:02.340 that problem anyway.
00:27:03.880 But,
00:27:04.260 you know,
00:27:04.880 most people don't know
00:27:06.160 what that means.
00:27:07.080 Yeah.
00:27:07.520 What's the culture of a company?
00:27:08.720 Oh,
00:27:08.840 we have a good culture.
00:27:09.880 What's that mean?
00:27:10.520 Well,
00:27:10.780 you know,
00:27:11.580 we like have fucking casual Fridays, 0.80
00:27:13.740 you know,
00:27:14.480 like,
00:27:15.060 dude,
00:27:15.280 come on.
00:27:16.340 Yeah.
00:27:16.940 Yeah.
00:27:17.260 So,
00:27:17.660 got an email just now
00:27:20.940 as you were talking,
00:27:21.600 it fits right into
00:27:22.420 you don't have heroes necessarily,
00:27:24.500 but you know,
00:27:25.100 your dad's your hero,
00:27:26.740 but you do.
00:27:27.940 Well,
00:27:28.340 the rock.
00:27:28.980 The rock,
00:27:30.520 I'm quickly working
00:27:31.920 to make the rock a pier.
00:27:33.900 Yeah.
00:27:34.640 Okay.
00:27:35.300 Yeah.
00:27:35.900 I like the rock.
00:27:36.820 That's a great statement.
00:27:37.720 I like the rock.
00:27:38.460 That's one of your best statements.
00:27:39.300 Every day I come to work,
00:27:40.420 every day I wake up in the morning,
00:27:42.060 I am working to make the rock
00:27:43.600 a fucking pier, 0.89
00:27:45.260 a buddy.
00:27:46.600 You know what I'm saying?
00:27:47.620 I love it.
00:27:48.100 I'm not going to fucking,
00:27:48.680 I'm not trying to wait in line
00:27:51.040 for an hour to meet the rock.
00:27:52.320 I'm trying to call him on my cell
00:27:53.580 and be like,
00:27:53.960 bro,
00:27:54.180 let's hop on the fucking plane
00:27:55.540 and roll to fucking Vegas. 0.64
00:27:57.500 You know what I'm saying?
00:27:58.780 Like,
00:27:59.260 dude,
00:27:59.540 so don't get it twisted.
00:28:00.660 I'm not,
00:28:00.880 he's not my fucking hero.
00:28:01.860 He's going to be my best friend
00:28:02.680 one day though.
00:28:05.040 I'm serious.
00:28:05.900 No,
00:28:06.160 I know you're serious.
00:28:07.120 I'm laughing because I know,
00:28:08.400 I know you're serious.
00:28:09.380 The rock is the coolest dude ever,
00:28:11.600 man.
00:28:11.980 No,
00:28:12.220 I agree.
00:28:12.700 So this person's question
00:28:14.060 is basically all of the things
00:28:16.540 being equal,
00:28:17.440 Andy,
00:28:17.560 they'd like to see kind of like
00:28:19.000 a little window in to who you value
00:28:21.940 and what you'd like to learn from people.
00:28:24.620 If you could take an hour or two
00:28:27.840 in this,
00:28:28.460 you know,
00:28:28.920 Legion of Boom headquarters meeting room
00:28:31.140 and you could pick three to five people,
00:28:33.840 any three to five people on the planet
00:28:35.740 to just rub elbows with
00:28:38.360 and pick their brains 0.60
00:28:39.220 and gain a business context.
00:28:41.200 Yes.
00:28:41.420 And they have to be alive.
00:28:42.200 No,
00:28:42.400 no,
00:28:42.500 no,
00:28:42.660 no,
00:28:42.800 no,
00:28:42.920 no.
00:28:43.200 Anything,
00:28:43.620 anything that's going to benefit you
00:28:44.960 as a person
00:28:45.600 and develop you as a person.
00:28:47.200 Are we talking about like hanging out
00:28:47.960 and like drinking beer?
00:28:48.960 Are we talking about like having a business meeting?
00:28:51.800 Because it's two different things.
00:28:52.600 Let's say it's a business meeting here,
00:28:54.900 but they're bringing in beer.
00:28:57.760 All right.
00:28:58.340 Dude,
00:28:58.820 for sure,
00:28:59.480 I would want the rock here.
00:29:00.840 Okay.
00:29:01.240 For sure.
00:29:01.820 Okay.
00:29:02.180 Because like,
00:29:02.500 I think he's a fucking smart dude
00:29:03.720 on top of all his like,
00:29:05.420 his,
00:29:05.780 you know,
00:29:06.100 his persona.
00:29:07.580 I think the dude's a genius.
00:29:09.060 Right.
00:29:09.400 He's got a great story.
00:29:10.440 He started from nothing.
00:29:11.580 He's transitioned from one being super successful
00:29:14.240 in one career
00:29:14.860 into another career.
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.
00:29:25.080 Nice.
00:29:25.180 Are we building like a board of directors?
00:29:27.280 Yes.
00:29:27.740 Look at it.
00:29:28.360 Look at it that way.
00:29:29.100 Like these are your life advisors.
00:29:31.360 Yeah.
00:29:32.040 I would like to rock.
00:29:33.140 I like to rock.
00:29:33.660 Okay.
00:29:34.040 I would have my dad there for sure.
00:29:35.600 Yep.
00:29:35.940 Okay.
00:29:37.020 My dad is,
00:29:38.300 my dad knows his fucking shit
00:29:39.700 and he's always got good insight.
00:29:41.240 I would have Gary V there
00:29:46.000 because Gary is,
00:29:48.320 Gary sees things that other people don't see.
00:29:51.040 Right.
00:29:52.000 Especially when it comes to technology and social media.
00:29:54.500 So that's three.
00:29:59.700 Pick a woman. 1.00
00:30:06.600 I don't know.
00:30:07.260 You know,
00:30:07.520 like I think,
00:30:09.600 I think if I had to pick a woman, 1.00
00:30:13.800 I would pick Oprah.
00:30:15.240 And I think people laugh at that
00:30:17.180 and they make fun of that.
00:30:18.220 But,
00:30:18.500 but I think Oprah is a fucking very,
00:30:20.740 very fucking intelligent,
00:30:22.300 deliberate person.
00:30:23.600 Right.
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
00:30:29.680 and make it work for the benefit of herself 0.95
00:30:32.360 and the people that she cares about.
00:30:34.560 Right.
00:30:34.860 You know,
00:30:35.300 I don't,
00:30:36.100 I'm not an Oprah fan.
00:30:37.380 I actually think that's an excellent choice
00:30:39.160 because I think people that can't look past
00:30:41.880 their disagreements with others
00:30:43.680 to see what they do well.
00:30:45.540 I don't like a lot of the shit that she says.
00:30:47.360 Yeah.
00:30:48.000 Like I,
00:30:48.680 you know,
00:30:49.040 it's not that I don't like what she says.
00:30:51.520 I think she always sends good,
00:30:53.020 positive messages.
00:30:54.280 I just don't,
00:30:56.140 it's too fucking like feel, 0.83
00:30:58.060 feel good and touchy feely for me.
00:30:59.760 You know,
00:31:00.040 the opposite of my nature.
00:31:01.000 And like,
00:31:01.360 you know,
00:31:01.960 it's just not for me,
00:31:02.820 but I think she's a genius.
00:31:04.420 So I will pick her. 0.70
00:31:06.340 And that great quote of hers,
00:31:07.340 that if I,
00:31:07.860 if I knew I would make so much money,
00:31:09.560 being myself,
00:31:10.460 I would have done it a lot earlier.
00:31:11.740 Exactly.
00:31:12.120 It's a great quote.
00:31:12.700 Right.
00:31:12.860 And she's had tremendous life experience.
00:31:15.920 You know,
00:31:16.040 you talk about Oprah,
00:31:17.000 man,
00:31:17.700 you know,
00:31:18.040 that's somebody,
00:31:18.820 she was pregnant at like 13 years old.
00:31:20.920 Yeah.
00:31:21.240 You know what I'm saying?
00:31:21.880 And I think,
00:31:22.760 dude,
00:31:23.240 I'm pretty sure it was the victim.
00:31:24.500 She was a victim of rape, 1.00
00:31:25.400 I think.
00:31:26.020 I don't know.
00:31:26.380 It was something crazy,
00:31:27.320 dude,
00:31:27.460 like crazy story.
00:31:28.720 Yeah.
00:31:30.580 You know,
00:31:31.260 coming up and like,
00:31:33.200 I mean,
00:31:33.540 dude,
00:31:33.660 she's just got a tremendous story.
00:31:35.020 She has a lot of experience
00:31:36.100 and a lot of life experience.
00:31:37.120 I would love to have a conversation with her.
00:31:38.880 Right.
00:31:39.060 And her production company,
00:31:41.540 hands down,
00:31:42.240 best documentary on The Rock
00:31:43.360 I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:31:44.640 Yeah.
00:31:44.980 I mean,
00:31:45.200 dude,
00:31:45.380 she gets it,
00:31:45.980 man.
00:31:46.040 So,
00:31:46.220 yeah.
00:31:46.480 So,
00:31:46.840 so who we got?
00:31:47.500 We got The Rock,
00:31:48.160 we got my dad,
00:31:49.560 we got Oprah.
00:31:50.740 Oprah,
00:31:51.180 Gary Vee,
00:31:51.740 and you got one more person.
00:31:52.840 Throw one more person out there. 1.00
00:31:54.080 Richard Branson?
00:31:55.020 No,
00:31:55.880 I'm not a big Richard Branson,
00:31:57.640 like,
00:31:59.320 um,
00:31:59.960 I want to have him on the show,
00:32:01.080 so you should probably not say that.
00:32:02.180 I'm not saying like,
00:32:02.880 I'm not,
00:32:03.200 I'm not a fan.
00:32:04.080 It's just,
00:32:04.360 I'm not a student of him.
00:32:05.860 Oh,
00:32:06.100 I see what you're saying.
00:32:07.140 Yeah,
00:32:07.160 yeah.
00:32:07.380 Um,
00:32:10.140 man,
00:32:13.140 I guess,
00:32:15.100 you know,
00:32:15.800 it would,
00:32:16.320 I would,
00:32:16.880 can I pick six?
00:32:18.280 Yeah.
00:32:18.540 And I would,
00:32:19.120 I mean,
00:32:19.320 I would like to hear like a coach
00:32:21.800 that you'd like to have in the room.
00:32:23.400 A coach?
00:32:24.060 Yeah.
00:32:25.100 If there's any,
00:32:25.860 if there's any coach that you,
00:32:27.860 you know,
00:32:28.920 um,
00:32:30.640 dude,
00:32:32.080 there's so many coaches that,
00:32:33.860 that I think I,
00:32:35.820 I have different styles.
00:32:37.760 You know what I'm saying?
00:32:38.420 So it'd be hard to pick a coach
00:32:39.440 because I like certain coaches
00:32:40.620 for different reasons.
00:32:41.880 Um,
00:32:43.320 if I had to pick an all-time coach,
00:32:44.880 it would be,
00:32:45.420 uh,
00:32:46.040 John Wooden,
00:32:46.760 but you know,
00:32:48.200 he's passed away.
00:32:49.000 Right.
00:32:49.520 Um,
00:32:50.140 I would say
00:32:50.940 other than the,
00:32:53.880 the,
00:32:54.120 that group that I said,
00:32:55.280 you know,
00:32:55.620 I think,
00:32:56.580 um,
00:32:57.340 I don't know,
00:33:02.040 man.
00:33:02.940 You know,
00:33:03.440 I don't,
00:33:03.720 I don't really know.
00:33:04.860 That's okay.
00:33:05.900 I can edit this part out.
00:33:07.000 Like,
00:33:07.460 no,
00:33:07.800 you don't have to.
00:33:08.360 I mean,
00:33:08.540 we let people fucking, 0.99
00:33:09.580 it's,
00:33:09.800 it's a legit thing.
00:33:10.740 I'm thinking like,
00:33:11.920 I think,
00:33:12.880 um,
00:33:13.920 you know,
00:33:15.580 I think Elon Musk is a fucking brilliant dude,
00:33:18.120 but the problem with him is like,
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,
00:33:25.520 right.
00:33:25.940 Um,
00:33:27.460 you know,
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.
00:33:32.660 Right.
00:33:33.060 Um,
00:33:33.520 right.
00:33:34.280 Uh,
00:33:34.640 so,
00:33:35.340 you know,
00:33:36.040 I like him.
00:33:36.760 I like what he's done.
00:33:37.640 He's,
00:33:37.920 he's just crazy smart.
00:33:40.460 Um,
00:33:40.900 but I have a feeling it might,
00:33:42.320 it would like exceed my ability to like utilize that information.
00:33:46.440 Yeah.
00:33:46.660 Well,
00:33:46.840 and not to take anything away from him,
00:33:48.340 but I think that truly world changing,
00:33:52.300 intelligent people are people who think on a level that's so much higher than
00:33:57.280 everybody else,
00:33:58.060 but they're so intelligent that they can put it in ways that everybody
00:34:00.940 understands.
00:34:01.640 Yeah,
00:34:01.860 maybe,
00:34:02.320 I mean,
00:34:02.620 you know,
00:34:03.560 um,
00:34:04.360 or at least,
00:34:05.360 dude,
00:34:05.560 I like Tony Robbins,
00:34:06.560 man.
00:34:06.860 You know,
00:34:07.120 like,
00:34:07.380 dude,
00:34:07.520 I've always looked up to Tony Robbins.
00:34:08.920 I think Tony Robbins is a great dude.
00:34:10.820 You know,
00:34:11.160 I've had people,
00:34:11.840 I've heard people say,
00:34:12.640 Oh,
00:34:12.740 he's a,
00:34:13.040 he's fake.
00:34:13.960 No,
00:34:14.380 it's a fucking show. 0.89
00:34:16.060 Okay.
00:34:16.420 It's a skill.
00:34:17.920 You know,
00:34:18.200 I think what he does is amazing.
00:34:19.600 And you guys inspired trillions of people,
00:34:21.580 you know,
00:34:22.460 I,
00:34:22.720 I would,
00:34:23.540 I would fucking love to any of those people,
00:34:27.080 you know,
00:34:27.420 and I have a good relationship with Gary and clearly my dad,
00:34:31.120 but you know,
00:34:31.940 any of those other people,
00:34:32.940 you know,
00:34:33.180 I would love to spend time with,
00:34:35.380 you know?
00:34:36.060 Um,
00:34:37.140 I think,
00:34:37.980 I think Tony Robbins is,
00:34:39.700 is highly underrated in his,
00:34:43.280 in,
00:34:43.580 in his world influence that he's created.
00:34:45.420 I think he's probably created more millionaires than anybody that's ever
00:34:48.280 existed ever,
00:34:49.800 you know?
00:34:50.440 Um,
00:34:51.120 and I,
00:34:53.420 I think that I admire the guy for that.
00:34:55.360 I would love to have him in my corner.
00:34:57.300 Yeah.
00:34:57.920 Yeah.
00:34:58.540 Um,
00:34:59.540 but other than that,
00:35:00.440 you know,
00:35:00.720 I,
00:35:00.900 I can't really think of,
00:35:02.380 I'm sure I'm missing some obvious choices,
00:35:05.060 but,
00:35:06.180 uh,
00:35:06.480 there's so many good people out there.
00:35:08.080 It's just hard to,
00:35:09.420 hard to pick.
00:35:10.260 Yeah.
00:35:10.720 Tyler,
00:35:11.140 how are we doing on time?
00:35:12.580 How many,
00:35:13.280 how many minutes?
00:35:14.920 40 ish.
00:35:15.720 Okay.
00:35:16.140 Okay.
00:35:16.400 So last question,
00:35:17.280 Andy,
00:35:17.480 you,
00:35:18.000 you are obviously a driven person over the course of,
00:35:20.420 of your life and your business career.
00:35:21.900 Had there been certain,
00:35:23.260 uh,
00:35:24.620 motivations that have driven you that have come and gone?
00:35:27.800 What are those?
00:35:28.700 And do they ever serve a useful purpose?
00:35:30.980 Like in specific situations?
00:35:32.860 And then what have been the motivations that have been consistent that have driven you over time?
00:35:38.740 Um,
00:35:39.060 that question makes sense.
00:35:40.100 Yeah.
00:35:40.440 Okay.
00:35:41.580 Uh,
00:35:42.220 first of all,
00:35:44.020 your motivating factors are going to change.
00:35:47.120 You know,
00:35:47.700 when I started in business and I talk about this when,
00:35:51.300 when I talk live,
00:35:52.280 um,
00:35:53.240 you know,
00:35:53.480 my idea was to make millions of dollars and be a fucking baller and have naked chicks on fucking, 1.00
00:35:58.800 on my yacht and just be,
00:36:01.360 you know,
00:36:01.860 that kind of a dude with fucking nice cars and just,
00:36:04.400 you know,
00:36:05.640 amateur kid shit,
00:36:07.040 you know?
00:36:07.380 And,
00:36:07.900 uh,
00:36:08.460 Dan Bilzerian,
00:36:09.360 you know,
00:36:10.320 right.
00:36:10.940 Basically embodied.
00:36:12.180 Right.
00:36:12.600 And I was like,
00:36:13.440 fuck yeah,
00:36:13.860 dude,
00:36:14.060 that's what I'm going to do.
00:36:14.880 And that,
00:36:15.760 you know,
00:36:16.280 owning shit, 0.75
00:36:17.600 having enough money to own shit and do shit,
00:36:19.740 um,
00:36:20.620 was an extremely large motivating factor for me whenever I was young,
00:36:24.120 you know,
00:36:24.480 own a fucking Lamborghini own a fucking this kind of house own that own this blah, 0.97
00:36:30.140 blah,
00:36:30.280 blah,
00:36:30.460 blah,
00:36:30.620 blah.
00:36:31.600 Um,
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. 0.99
00:36:37.840 Right.
00:36:38.280 Um,
00:36:39.660 you know,
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.
00:36:46.100 Um,
00:36:46.540 I think that those motivations are very in line with a 19 year old kid.
00:36:49.680 Right.
00:36:50.200 Um,
00:36:51.560 you know,
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.
00:36:57.620 You have employees,
00:36:58.340 um,
00:36:59.360 you know,
00:36:59.600 first a few,
00:37:00.480 then a few more,
00:37:01.600 and then a lot.
00:37:02.820 And those people have families.
00:37:04.880 Those people have kids.
00:37:05.780 Those people have responsibilities and you,
00:37:09.160 you,
00:37:09.560 you take on a different responsibility as the owner.
00:37:12.600 And it's not about,
00:37:13.500 you know,
00:37:14.140 just you having shit. 0.89
00:37:15.600 I mean,
00:37:15.780 for some owners it is like some owners don't give a fuck about their employees.
00:37:19.040 And those people are failing right now.
00:37:20.680 But,
00:37:21.420 uh,
00:37:22.040 you know,
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, 0.89
00:37:32.060 put it in a position to where they can,
00:37:33.500 you know,
00:37:34.720 survive and,
00:37:36.160 uh,
00:37:36.340 and thrive.
00:37:37.480 And,
00:37:38.000 you know,
00:37:39.140 that,
00:37:40.360 you know,
00:37:41.020 the original motivation transitions into that motivation.
00:37:43.740 I think if you have any sort of like,
00:37:45.420 you know,
00:37:47.280 moral values to you,
00:37:49.600 you know?
00:37:50.200 So,
00:37:50.440 so,
00:37:51.000 um,
00:37:52.220 and then what happens is what you end up realizing is that,
00:37:56.380 and I talk about this a lot too,
00:37:58.860 but nobody really ever fucking gets it. 0.76
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.
00:38:13.580 Um,
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.
00:38:30.040 But then it goes to your customers.
00:38:31.620 How can I provide more value to them?
00:38:32.980 And how do I care about them more?
00:38:35.040 And dude,
00:38:35.980 that's when your company will fucking explode. 0.69
00:38:37.980 Right.
00:38:38.400 And I try to,
00:38:39.020 I try to preach that as much as I can,
00:38:41.220 but man,
00:38:42.080 it's hard to get that through to somebody who's not making any money.
00:38:44.580 Right.
00:38:45.100 Right.
00:38:45.480 You know,
00:38:45.800 they're,
00:38:46.000 they're,
00:38:46.360 they're not,
00:38:46.740 first of all,
00:38:47.060 they're not making any money.
00:38:48.260 Second of all,
00:38:49.440 they are,
00:38:50.280 they're 19 year old Andy for Sella.
00:38:53.660 Right.
00:38:54.060 You know what I'm saying?
00:38:54.700 Right.
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.
00:39:01.420 I mean,
00:39:01.860 there's going to be a consistency,
00:39:02.940 but there's going to be an evolution.
00:39:04.300 I talked about.
00:39:04.960 Yeah.
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.
00:39:11.220 Motivation is.
00:39:12.700 And like,
00:39:13.380 dude,
00:39:13.880 it's some of the things will stay.
00:39:15.140 Like he asked or she asked,
00:39:17.060 what are the constants?
00:39:18.280 Like,
00:39:18.740 dude,
00:39:18.980 some things do stay.
00:39:20.320 Like I like fucking nice cars.
00:39:21.860 Like the 19 year old Andy likes nice cars.
00:39:24.800 The fucking 36 year old Andy likes nice cars.
00:39:27.340 That's never going to change.
00:39:28.540 I liked cars when I was fucking seven years old.
00:39:31.240 You get what I mean?
00:39:32.020 Absolutely.
00:39:32.360 So that's a constant thing.
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.
00:39:39.020 So,
00:39:39.600 you know,
00:39:39.900 it sounds,
00:39:40.880 and a lot of people are like cars,
00:39:42.040 let's fuck car. 0.99
00:39:42.720 Well,
00:39:42.960 dude,
00:39:43.160 unless you're a car person,
00:39:44.300 you don't fucking get it. 0.86
00:39:45.420 Right.
00:39:45.840 You know,
00:39:46.040 a lot of people are like,
00:39:46.620 well,
00:39:46.840 you fucking spend a million dollars on a car.
00:39:49.580 Well,
00:39:49.780 you're not a car person.
00:39:51.200 You look at cars as a form of transportation.
00:39:54.300 I look at cars as fucking functional art.
00:39:56.820 Right.
00:39:57.300 You don't get it.
00:39:58.160 Right.
00:39:58.540 You know what I mean?
00:39:59.060 And if you don't get it,
00:40:00.260 don't judge it.
00:40:01.300 Right.
00:40:01.880 You know,
00:40:02.500 right.
00:40:02.660 So yes,
00:40:03.620 there's things that are constantly motivational.
00:40:07.200 You know,
00:40:07.880 and like,
00:40:08.420 dude,
00:40:08.640 for me now,
00:40:09.420 my transition is even,
00:40:10.580 even happening now.
00:40:12.020 You know,
00:40:12.280 now my,
00:40:13.900 my transition isn't,
00:40:15.540 it leads into why I do this.
00:40:17.260 You know,
00:40:17.720 why am I doing this?
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?
00:40:26.500 Right.
00:40:26.980 Why am I doing that?
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.
00:40:34.480 You know,
00:40:35.100 I see a problem.
00:40:36.160 I'm trying to fix it.
00:40:36.880 And what does that equate to?
00:40:37.880 I'm trying to fucking matter.
00:40:39.460 Right.
00:40:39.880 Okay.
00:40:40.400 So your motivations will always evolve.
00:40:43.640 Always evolve.
00:40:44.360 Yeah.
00:40:44.720 You know,
00:40:45.120 and I,
00:40:47.180 I see people who are like,
00:40:48.120 Oh,
00:40:48.200 I just want the fucking money.
00:40:49.260 I don't,
00:40:49.600 uh,
00:40:50.360 dude,
00:40:50.680 you're,
00:40:51.060 you're a fucking immature entrepreneur. 0.83
00:40:53.700 And by immature,
00:40:54.540 I don't mean like immature,
00:40:55.760 like 12 years old.
00:40:56.460 I mean,
00:40:56.740 like you're in the beginning stages of being an entrepreneur and then you become middle
00:41:01.740 aged and you become adult,
00:41:02.760 just like in life.
00:41:03.880 Yeah.
00:41:04.420 You know?
00:41:05.060 So when you're an adult entrepreneur,
00:41:07.000 the world is much bigger than it is your,
00:41:09.100 than,
00:41:09.360 than,
00:41:09.960 than,
00:41:10.480 than you are.
00:41:11.780 You see what I'm saying?
00:41:12.520 Very,
00:41:12.800 very true.
00:41:13.540 So very,
00:41:14.240 very true.
00:41:14.580 Well guys,
00:41:15.060 thanks so much for your questions.
00:41:16.240 We'll tackle some more Q and a at some point in the future.
00:41:18.920 Yeah.
00:41:19.040 We're going to do Q and a more regularly.
00:41:20.740 Yeah.
00:41:20.880 We,
00:41:21.160 uh,
00:41:21.320 you know,
00:41:21.540 we've been doing the Thursday thunders.
00:41:23.500 Um,
00:41:24.000 I,
00:41:24.440 I did Q and a,
00:41:25.860 you know,
00:41:26.060 I think we get,
00:41:27.260 I think we can tackle questions,
00:41:28.940 you know,
00:41:29.280 cause I get the same shit over and over,
00:41:31.000 man,
00:41:31.260 like over and over and over and over and over.
00:41:33.580 And I'm like,
00:41:33.860 what the fuck man?
00:41:35.160 Like,
00:41:35.340 where'd you watching five minutes ago,
00:41:36.800 you know,
00:41:37.580 or listening,
00:41:38.180 you know?
00:41:38.480 So I like doing the Q and a.
00:41:40.520 Yeah.
00:41:40.700 So I did get some feedback,
00:41:42.140 uh,
00:41:42.600 that I think is,
00:41:43.220 is good.
00:41:43.680 And that is that,
00:41:44.480 um,
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.
00:41:54.960 So why don't you go ahead and share your,
00:41:56.420 guys,
00:41:56.880 I'm very active on Instagram at Andy for Sella,
