REAL AF with Andy Frisella - Success And All That B.S., with Andy Frisella - MFCEO59

00:00:00.000 What's up, guys? This is Vaughn Kohler. You're listening to the MFCEO Project.

00:00:05.280 This is our first full-length podcast episode in a while, and I'm really not even going to try to explain this one.

00:00:12.500 Just listen. We're going to have a real talk about success, motivation, and what's next for the MFCEO Project.

00:00:30.000 What's up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I am the motherfucking CEO.

00:00:41.740 Guys, it's been a little bit since we've been on. You know, I've been sick. Vaughn's been sick. Vaughn's got a new baby coming.

00:00:49.380 Just got a lot of shit going on on our end, and I apologize for the delays, but we're back.

00:00:54.440 You know, you asked me before, you know, I told Vaughn right before this, you know, that I'm getting a little bit tired of talking to people.

00:01:03.580 And you've been following me lately. I've been less active on social media, especially Snapchat and Instagram and basically nonexistent on Periscope.

00:01:12.240 And a lot of people have been asking me why that is. You know, I'm just going to be real, man.

00:01:20.940 Like, I just feel like that if you need to be motivated on a daily basis, you don't have what it fucking takes anyway.

00:01:25.920 Right. You know, and I've been questioning the reasons why I put so much effort into those types of messages because I don't have anybody pulling me.

00:01:37.420 I don't have anybody pushing me. I don't have anybody fucking telling me to do shit.

00:01:41.120 And I feel like if you're an entrepreneur and you are of, you know, the right mindset, you're not going to need that either.

00:01:50.520 You know what I mean? So with that being said, who the fuck am I talking to? Right.

00:01:53.800 You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. So I've been trying to like sort through that mentally because I'm I don't know.

00:01:59.340 Like, I feel like, you know, we did the podcast on success zombies and we talked about how people consume info and consume motivation and this and that.

00:02:07.600 And it's like they live for it like it's a fucking drug. You know, if you're if you're a person who's got what it takes to make it, you're going to have that shit on the inside of you regardless.

00:02:17.740 And I want the conversation we had a minute ago was, you know, I told he asked me why I was turning down certain things.

00:02:25.160 And I said, hey, I'm just fucking tired of talking to people. That's the truth. You know what I mean?

00:02:30.060 Yeah. Like I'm tired of getting on stage and fucking yelling at people about what the fuck they should be doing on their own in the first place.

00:02:35.840 You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. It's like there's like an emptiness to it. Yeah.

00:02:40.740 You know, I feel like people like if you're listening right now and you don't wake up every day hungry as fuck to make something of yourself, you're not going to make it anyway.

00:02:49.380 There's nothing I could say. It's going to fucking change that. And I feel like, you know, I feel like I'm going to change directions on some of the shit that I do.

00:02:56.840 You know, instead of just doing, you know, instead of just doing the motivational shit, you know, break down some more technical shit.

00:03:05.060 You know what I mean? Which is what we do on the podcast regardless. But I don't know.

00:03:10.280 Like. Plus, dude, I feel like the whole motivation guru thing like that's it's like I've been doing this for seven years now.

00:03:19.240 And I feel like now all of a sudden it's become like this thing where everybody's doing it, you know, and everybody's got some fucking message to say.

00:03:27.840 And that's great. But. Ninety eight percent of those people never built anything.

00:03:32.540 And I feel like, you know, that whole the whole space is just getting cluttered with nonsense.

00:03:37.960 You know what I mean? Yes. Like I like I'm like looking at my fucking Instagram feed and looking at my Facebook feed.

00:03:44.720 And it's it's message after message after message of positivity or motivation or whatever.

00:03:55.080 And it's it's people who aren't doing anything, you know, and it's sort of starting to like disgust me.

00:04:00.440 Does that make sense? Like I'm starting to get like disgusted by it. Yeah.

00:04:03.820 Like. I don't know, like like almost bitter, like what the fuck?

00:04:08.460 Yeah. You know, like and I feel like people are smart enough to like recognize.

00:04:13.840 When people aren't qualified, you know what I'm saying, to like give information, but at the same time, you know, it's like, hey.

00:04:24.260 You know, if everybody else is doing it, why the fuck do I need to do it?

00:04:27.400 Yeah. You know, so I don't know.

00:04:30.000 I'm going to add something else to that.

00:04:31.380 But you and I, I mean, since we started the podcast and you've said again and again, I mean, you make your own rules.

00:04:37.960 You know, you are the MFC of your life. 1.00

00:04:39.980 And one of the things that is kind of irritating is is there's rules even for social media that people think that you can't break.

00:04:47.680 I mean, we break you and I have broken the podcasting rule, which is supposedly you're supposed to have like, you know, three months in the hopper before you actually start a podcast just in case.

00:04:57.740 Because if you miss a week or two, you know, your audience is just going to fall apart and rebel on you.

00:05:03.020 That hasn't happened.

00:05:03.980 No, because when you build loyal, when you build a loyal audience or just like loyal customers and business, they're going to fucking be there for you.

00:05:11.220 Right.

00:05:11.480 And we're fortunate enough to have people who are listening right now who give a fuck about what we had to say.

00:05:17.200 Right.

00:05:17.460 You know what I mean?

00:05:17.880 It's not just filler shit like.

00:05:19.760 Exactly.

00:05:20.360 You know.

00:05:21.040 Yeah.

00:05:21.220 But you know what I'm saying?

00:05:22.560 Like, I feel like, dude.

00:05:24.480 Well, on that note here about certain people, and I'm not going to name any names, contradicting themselves over and over and over again.

00:05:31.940 And like, since we had that conversation, you remember when we talked about that?

00:05:35.200 You know what I'm talking about?

00:05:36.300 Yep.

00:05:36.780 That since I had that conversation with you, I've really started to pay attention to that.

00:05:40.520 Yep.

00:05:40.700 And it's like, dude, I see people out there that I used to like really look up to and, and I watch what they say.

00:05:47.680 And like, they'll say, they speak out of both sides of their fucking mouth and they say one thing one day.

00:05:52.940 And then they say another thing three days later and people cheer at both of them.

00:05:57.680 And it's just like, dude, you're leading a fucking army of fucking sheep.

00:06:01.720 Right.

00:06:02.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:06:02.700 They can't think for themselves.

00:06:04.080 Right.

00:06:04.480 And it's like everything, anybody who's paying attention can see that you're saying one thing on Monday and another thing on Thursday.

00:06:10.300 And they don't go together, you know, and like, I don't know, man, that's just not what I'm about.

00:06:16.080 Like, I believe what I fucking believe.

00:06:17.820 And, you know, like one of the messages that's been going around and gained some traction lately is, you know, if you're successful, you know, if you're, if you're pursuing success and you set your goals too big, then you're setting yourself up for depression and suicide.

00:06:37.240 I'm just like, dude, are you, let's be real here, man.

00:06:41.020 I saw that comment on your page.

00:06:42.520 Dude, you're not, if you don't have what it fucking takes, you don't have what it takes.

00:06:47.560 Right.

00:06:48.080 Right.

00:06:48.660 And maybe it isn't for you, but to tell people like, Hey, set your goals smaller so you don't become depressed.

00:06:55.460 That's fucking pussy shit, dude. 0.99

00:06:57.520 I'm sorry.

00:06:58.440 That's pussy fucking everybody gets a trophy. 1.00

00:07:02.380 It's playing into the fucking bullshit millennial shit.

00:07:06.580 You know what I mean?

00:07:07.320 And like, I don't know, man.

00:07:09.520 Like, I'm just getting like, I'm just like looking at all this information and I'm not willing to sell myself out like that to fucking gain followers or gain fans.

00:07:17.200 I'm not going to speak to one group and say, Hey, it's okay to do this and then tell everybody else, quit being a fucking bitch. 1.00

00:07:24.860 It's just not what I'm about, man.

00:07:26.280 Right.

00:07:26.560 You know what I mean?

00:07:27.080 And like, so I'm like really starting to question, you know, my direction of where I want to take this because I feel like it's just getting so cluttered and people are doing it for the wrong reasons.

00:07:38.200 Right.

00:07:38.520 You know, I feel like people are doing it for, they say they're doing it for other people.

00:07:42.300 Like I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving.

00:07:43.920 But in reality, it's all about the fucking take.

00:07:46.440 Right.

00:07:46.840 You know, and I'm not down with that.

00:07:48.640 One of the things I noticed, uh, I don't know anybody else.

00:07:51.340 I don't know one other fucking person does all this shit and doesn't charge one fucking thing for anything.

00:07:56.220 Right.

00:07:56.940 I don't know one.

00:07:58.300 I'm one.

00:07:59.440 Name me one.

00:08:00.560 I can't.

00:08:01.420 Right.

00:08:01.840 Yeah.

00:08:02.060 I could make millions of fucking dollars off of what we're doing here and I don't because I don't fucking believe in that.

00:08:07.220 Right.

00:08:07.840 You know what I mean?

00:08:08.420 This is, this is a message of fucking public service.

00:08:11.020 Right.

00:08:11.520 And folks, I can guarantee you, I have, I have presented several, uh, revenue generating,

00:08:16.660 schemes to Andy, uh, well schemes is probably not.

00:08:19.460 No, they're, they're business, but they're business plans.

00:08:21.640 And you have rejected all of them, but that's, that's fine.

00:08:25.180 That's cool.

00:08:25.480 So, but I did, I don't want to let this go because I, I learned something about you very early in the last year.

00:08:31.560 And that is that there are times where you will go off the grid, you know, you just, you just stop social media.

00:08:37.260 And of course that flies in the face of all of the so-called gurus who say you have to constantly post, you have to constantly be there.

00:08:43.600 You have to, and one of the things that I realized that you were doing, it's like, no, people are, how do you guys get such good content?

00:08:50.260 You know why?

00:08:51.920 Because if you're talking all the time after a while, you're going to, your content's going to suck.

00:08:59.360 No.

00:08:59.600 And what I really, you got to take time to absorb.

00:09:02.320 Exactly.

00:09:02.780 You know what I'm saying?

00:09:03.180 You take time to breathe in.

00:09:04.380 Right.

00:09:04.800 So that you can breathe out.

00:09:05.800 Right.

00:09:06.200 And you know.

00:09:06.760 What you inhale determines what you exhale.

00:09:09.460 No question.

00:09:10.420 And I feel like, I don't know, dude.

00:09:13.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:09:15.300 Maybe it's just me.

00:09:16.000 Maybe it's just because I'm so plugged into it that I need to step back, but it's just, I'm just tired of it, man.

00:09:20.980 Yeah.

00:09:21.060 Like, I don't like seeing people that I, that I think are good people at what they do sell themselves out to speak out both sides of their fucking mouth.

00:09:30.420 Right.

00:09:30.900 Not only that, but I think when you give people a break, it allows them, you know, to take that overhead view and be like, oh man, like, fuck.

00:09:40.020 They're listening to everything else that's out there when they're not hearing you.

00:09:43.400 But yeah, dude, nobody, if you don't give people a chance to miss you, then they're going to love you.

00:09:48.180 Exactly.

00:09:48.660 Well, that's the thing with the quote unquote gurus is that the reason they have to constantly put out that information is because if they don't, people forget about them because what they have to say is not that impactful to start with.

00:09:58.620 That's right.

00:09:59.220 Right.

00:09:59.360 And if your shit is good, they'll miss you.

00:10:01.180 And then they'll be saying, hey, where the fuck you been?

00:10:03.600 Right.

00:10:04.060 Which is cool.

00:10:04.940 And I appreciate that.

00:10:06.060 I really do.

00:10:06.660 Which happens to you.

00:10:07.240 I see that all the time.

00:10:08.340 I mean, look, I'm very, I'm very thankful and fortunate and appreciative of everybody who listens to this podcast, you know, but understand that, like, I'm never going to be this dude who fucking tells you the shit that's going to be popular just for this.

00:10:23.520 Maybe I will say shit that is popular if I believe it.

00:10:26.400 You know what I mean?

00:10:27.240 But I'm not going to get on the fucking internet every day and sell my fucking shit out and, and, and, and just talk out of both, both ends of my mouth.

00:10:35.260 It's just not who I am.

00:10:36.220 I've never been that way, you know, and I've, I've just learned a lot the last six months being, being more plugged into this whole fucking scene.

00:10:44.060 You know what I mean?

00:10:44.800 And it's like, I don't know, man.

00:10:46.700 Like, I don't, I, I just be honest.

00:10:50.040 I don't like what I've seen.

00:10:52.720 You know what I mean?

00:10:53.480 I just don't like it.

00:10:54.760 I think that, I think that there's a lot of, I don't know.

00:11:02.040 I think there's a lot of good that needs to be done.

00:11:04.940 And I think people are telling people shit that isn't true for their own benefit.

00:11:10.100 And I don't like that.

00:11:12.040 You know, like I'm going to tell somebody something that's going to be popular with a certain group so that I get some fucking likes and shares on my shit.

00:11:18.480 Like, that ain't cool because you're, you're, you're also talking to those people that you told a week ago, you know, something different.

00:11:26.320 Right.

00:11:26.880 You know what I'm saying?

00:11:27.480 And then they're confused and then they don't know what to fucking do.

00:11:29.900 Yeah.

00:11:30.240 Right.

00:11:30.780 I mean, this shit is hard enough.

00:11:31.940 And when you look at somebody and look up to somebody as like a fucking hero figure or an idol or whatever, which you should never fucking do, but people do that, you know, or as a mentor or whatever.

00:11:42.340 And, and this person is, you know, and it's not just one person.

00:11:46.360 There's fucking lots of them to do this.

00:11:48.480 They just don't really stand for anything.

00:11:50.680 It's like, I will say whatever the fuck I need to say to get shares.

00:11:54.900 And I don't, I don't know.

00:11:56.620 I don't, I'm not down with that.

00:11:58.340 You know what I mean?

00:11:59.100 I, I take a lot of pride in, in just saying what I think is true.

00:12:05.020 And if people don't like it, I really don't give a fuck.

00:12:08.100 Yeah.

00:12:08.480 But the thing is, is that I'm, I'm just getting burned out on, maybe I need to stop consuming other people's shit because I'm getting burned out on their, on, on that.

00:12:17.580 And it's making me feel like I'm a part of that, even though I'm not.

00:12:22.040 Does that make sense?

00:12:23.340 Yeah.

00:12:23.640 I'm trying to, I mean, this is a great topic.

00:12:25.520 I mean, like, I don't want to get lumped in with that.

00:12:27.420 Yeah.

00:12:27.760 Do you see what I'm saying?

00:12:29.060 Absolutely.

00:12:29.880 Like I was talking to one of my good buddies and he's like, man, he's like, you're, you're flying all over doing all this shit.

00:12:33.880 He's just fucking awesome to see.

00:12:35.220 I'm like, yeah, I think I'm over it.

00:12:36.660 And he's like, what do you mean?

00:12:38.140 I'm like, dude, it's just not what it, what it, what it, what it, what it seems to be like.

00:12:42.620 You know what I mean?

00:12:43.220 It's a fucking business like anything else.

00:12:44.820 The, the nature and the, the soul and the purity of the message is manipulated for dollars.

00:12:51.560 And I don't think that's right in this case.

00:12:55.080 I think when you're coaching somebody, I think when you're, you're somebody who's, who's genuinely doing something for the right reasons, it's okay to charge for it.

00:13:03.640 But I think it's, and I believe in that, you know, certain people don't think that it's okay to fucking sell info products.

00:13:09.100 No, if you sell info products, you're qualified to sell them, fucking sell them good for you.

00:13:13.960 But here's the thing.

00:13:17.240 When you have people giving out information and they're giving out contradictory shit and you have these younger kids, you know, 16 years old to 25 years old, you know, looking at these people.

00:13:30.840 And they're saying one thing, then another thing, then another thing, another thing, another thing, and all these things mixed together.

00:13:35.680 You're confusing the fuck out of people.

00:13:37.640 And I don't, you know, this shit's hard.

00:13:39.660 It's hard enough.

00:13:40.520 It's hard enough without having people, you know, tell you a bunch of bullshit.

00:13:46.900 You know what I mean?

00:13:47.680 It's actually ironic that you brought that up because while I was sitting here, I was going through Instagram and there was that page, the millionaire mentor page was really popular on Instagram.

00:13:58.160 And there was a 16-year-old kid on there.

00:14:00.740 He said, I am 16 years old and I'm a trader.

00:14:04.000 Help me out.

00:14:04.680 I don't know what I'm doing.

00:14:05.920 I lost guidance from this person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:08.420 And I just looked at it and it was very momentary in my mind, but I'm just grinning, I'm like, this is what's unfortunate about it is because you need viewer discretion.

00:14:18.920 And if you, if you, the viewer, are not questioning the person that you're looking up to, be it a mentor or not, you're screwing yourself over because even the best of mentors do not know everything.

00:14:30.940 And the best ones will admit that they have a lot more to learn.

00:14:33.820 And if they're not questioning themselves and then the viewer is not questioning that person, like you're going to screw yourself over because you have to think for yourself and not let them tell you whatever.

00:14:42.780 But, but the, and the whole problem with what we're talking about is that it's so easy to, to portray credibility now.

00:14:49.540 You know what I mean?

00:14:50.660 Like Gary says this shit and he's right about it.

00:14:53.320 You know, it's easy to go fucking get somebody's Ferrari or, you know, and stand in front of it and take some fucking pictures and then talk about, you know, success.

00:15:02.460 And, and you, and you're going to, these little 14, 15, 17 year old kids are going to hear that shit and be like, Oh dude.

00:15:08.560 Yeah.

00:15:09.840 They're like, Oh, the page looks legit.

00:15:11.920 You know, it must be real.

00:15:13.880 And, and dude, I'm just not down with praying on people's, you know, in like, I don't know, you know, I like cars and I've got cars and I post pictures of cars.

00:15:23.340 And then, you know, I feel like, fuck, maybe I shouldn't do that because now I'm, now I'm giving the impression that, you know, that I don't know, maybe I'm giving the wrong impression that this is easy shit.

00:15:33.900 You know what I mean?

00:15:34.500 And that's why I always try to tell the story of like what it took because.

00:15:39.320 No, you're being too self-critical because that never comes through.

00:15:42.780 Industry, it's become an industry.

00:15:44.340 It's become an industry to prey on people's, on people's impatience.

00:15:50.440 You know what I mean?

00:15:51.560 And it's become, it's become a business to take somebody's impatience and hope and fucking sell them something to fill that void, which will never fill it.

00:16:03.040 Because, dude, the satisfied, even if you, even if you bought a program that made you $10 million, you would never be satisfied because the satisfied, the satisfying part doesn't come from the money.

00:16:14.260 It comes from the process.

00:16:16.220 And, you know, you can't explain that to somebody who's fucking, you know, having trouble buying a bologna sandwich.

00:16:21.520 They don't fucking listen.

00:16:23.100 So, so like, I'm trying to like, I feel like I'm fighting this fucking battle that can't be won.

00:16:28.540 You get what I mean?

00:16:29.120 Like, I'm trying to like say, Hey, listen, you know, this is hard shit.

00:16:35.960 It's going to take this much time, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:37.580 And then people are like, well, I see this other guy over here.

00:16:41.500 He said, I'll fucking be a millionaire in 12 months.

00:16:44.460 You get what I'm saying?

00:16:45.700 And if you don't know any better, which one are you going to listen to?

00:16:47.600 Well, you're selling hard work for free.

00:16:49.780 That guy is selling bullshit for a lot of money.

00:16:52.640 Right.

00:16:53.100 That's a good way of putting it.

00:16:54.900 But I mean, there's only one way to get there, man.

00:16:58.080 Yeah.

00:16:58.260 You know, and it's not a, it's not a like, dude, everybody likes to point to these fucking 0.88

00:17:03.200 stories like Uber and you know, these fucking glorified, crazy fucking stories, you know, 0.83

00:17:09.260 dude, how many times does that do them do?

00:17:11.780 I don't know.

00:17:12.420 But how many times them guys that started Uber fail or fucking try shit or, or go to school

00:17:17.680 or have experience before they started fucking Uber? 0.84

00:17:20.240 I would bet you it's 10, 15 years of fucking shit.

00:17:24.080 10, 15.

00:17:24.740 I bet if we had them on the show, you know, it would be 10, 15 years of trying and failing,

00:17:29.380 trying and failing, trying and failing.

00:17:31.240 You know what I mean?

00:17:31.840 But all everybody talks about is fuck 2011, the Uber tweet, you know, here's the Uber tweet.

00:17:37.680 I'm looking for investors.

00:17:38.900 Now they're billionaires and they tell this fucking bullshit story.

00:17:42.520 Right.

00:17:42.880 You know, and like, I don't know, man, you know, I, so let's back up because this is

00:17:50.620 a great topic.

00:17:51.300 I love that we didn't plan this.

00:17:52.460 So a year or two ago, when you and I first talk and you have this vision that this is

00:17:59.580 what you're made for.

00:18:00.280 This is what you want to do.

00:18:01.160 You want to do, you, you want to be part of the success and motivation because you want

00:18:04.900 to help people a year, year and a half later, there's some disillusionment.

00:18:09.760 There's some, you're, you know, you're kind of sick of it.

00:18:12.240 So what did you want to do back then that now you're running into something about the whole

00:18:18.180 success space?

00:18:19.520 I mean, we've already talked about it, but I want you to sort of articulate it in a

00:18:23.980 very concise way.

00:18:24.900 Dude, it's not pure.

00:18:25.320 It's not genuine.

00:18:26.340 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:27.040 It's not, it's just another fucking, let me sell some shit to these people who don't

00:18:32.260 have anything.

00:18:33.440 You know what I mean?

00:18:34.220 I don't feel good about that.

00:18:35.700 You know, I feel good about what I do, but what I don't feel good about is getting mixed 1.00

00:18:39.660 in with those motherfuckers. 1.00

00:18:40.860 Gotcha.

00:18:41.300 You see what I'm saying?

00:18:42.520 And you know, I know what it fucking takes.

00:18:46.240 And I think the reality of life, and I just had this discussion with my own fucking people

00:18:52.580 last night, is that...

00:18:54.460 You mean your company?

00:18:55.300 Yeah.

00:18:55.620 Yeah.

00:18:55.980 Dude, people, 99.99% of people grossly underestimate what it's truly going to take to succeed in

00:19:07.380 life, totally underestimate, totally misjudge, and that's the reality.

00:19:16.760 You know what I mean?

00:19:17.340 They think that doing something at 95% of your effort or skill level is going to get you where

00:19:24.760 you want to go, and it won't.

00:19:26.580 It's only going to, 100% is going to get you there.

00:19:28.600 It's just like a diet.

00:19:29.820 You know, when you fucking diet, if you diet and you do 90% of the work, you're not going

00:19:39.280 to get 90% results.

00:19:41.200 You're probably going to get zero results.

00:19:42.420 You know what I mean?

00:19:43.880 And it's only whenever you turn up things to 100% that the magic shit starts happening.

00:19:50.400 And, you know, people, I just feel like the message that is the truth isn't being told

00:19:58.460 by really anyone, you know?

00:20:01.060 And I feel like now, you know, you've got people telling people, oh, it's okay to fucking

00:20:07.300 be mediocre, and it's okay to, like, because you know what?

00:20:10.420 And then the next week, it's, you know, entrepreneurship is fucking skill that you can cultivate, and

00:20:16.660 blah, blah, blah, and you could be this.

00:20:18.240 You know, what the fuck is, which one is it?

00:20:21.140 You know what I mean?

00:20:22.420 And I don't know.

00:20:25.380 I just feel like it's full of fucking bullshit, you know?

00:20:30.300 And I'm not saying, oh, like, I'm the best one, and this and that, but, you know, I just

00:20:36.140 don't see anybody else out there telling people the reality of what it takes.

00:20:39.800 I just don't.

00:20:40.960 Right.

00:20:41.540 So, I mean, we had this discussion a long time ago.

00:20:45.240 So, dude, like, you asked me, like, why do I not want to go talk?

00:20:49.020 Because, dude, who am I talking to?

00:20:52.180 I'm either talking to, A, people who are going to fucking make it anyway, because they have

00:20:57.040 that internal fire, right?

00:20:58.740 Or, B, I'm talking to people that will never fucking make it, because they don't have it

00:21:02.760 on the inside.

00:21:03.320 So, what the fuck am I doing on stage?

00:21:06.620 Talking to, you know what I'm saying?

00:21:07.940 Right.

00:21:09.100 Right.

00:21:09.600 And why do I care, and why do I have to pull and push and tug people to convince themselves

00:21:15.440 that it's a good idea to fucking be successful? 0.61

00:21:18.900 You see?

00:21:19.280 Yeah, and I don't want to put words into your mouth, but what I hear you saying is that

00:21:22.600 the vast majority of the people in the success motivation space, they know exactly what you

00:21:27.540 know, but they're like, well, I'm getting paid anyway.

00:21:29.360 Right.

00:21:30.120 Right.

00:21:30.820 I'll take the money.

00:21:31.560 Right.

00:21:31.780 You know, that's exactly right.

00:21:33.020 And you're saying you don't want to be lumped in with that.

00:21:35.380 I don't agree with that.

00:21:36.560 Yeah.

00:21:37.240 I don't like, I mean, do you get what I'm saying?

00:21:40.960 Yeah.

00:21:41.400 People either have it on the inside, or they fucking don't.

00:21:44.300 Yeah.

00:21:44.860 Right?

00:21:45.340 And like, do I get excited when I hear like E.T., the hip-hop preacher, fucking talk?

00:21:49.540 Yeah, I do.

00:21:50.180 I think he's fucking awesome.

00:21:51.300 By the way, I'm a huge fan of his.

00:21:53.040 You know what I mean?

00:21:53.920 Yeah.

00:21:54.140 Dude, the guy's just got that fire, and it's fun to listen to, right?

00:21:57.640 But what's the point?

00:21:59.720 You know what I'm saying?

00:22:00.560 Man, he's not making me, and no offense to him, but I'm not working any harder because

00:22:06.360 of what he says.

00:22:07.520 I got that shit on the inside of my heart anyway.

00:22:10.580 You know what I mean?

00:22:11.920 Yeah.

00:22:12.300 I mean, are you, is it a good idea to use you as a yardstick, though?

00:22:17.000 I don't fucking know, dude.

00:22:18.140 That's what I'm working through right now.

00:22:19.580 It's like, I don't get it.

00:22:20.540 Like, I don't get, I don't get why people have to be tugged, or pushed, or pulled, or

00:22:27.540 motivated to be successful.

00:22:29.280 I don't fucking get it.

00:22:30.640 And so like, because I don't get it, now I'm wondering, why the fuck do I waste all this

00:22:34.280 time doing this shit? 0.54

00:22:35.560 Well, let me give you one quick answer.

00:22:36.720 Do you get what I'm saying?

00:22:37.340 Yeah, I do.

00:22:38.260 I do.

00:22:38.580 I do.

00:22:38.900 Dude, even my own guys that work for me, I've got to fucking constantly be motivating

00:22:43.240 them, and kicking them in the ass, and this and that, and saying, hey, come on, let's 0.98

00:22:46.500 go.

00:22:47.220 Dude, should you not walk home, and look at your fucking shitty apartment, and look at

00:22:50.680 your fucking, you know, your newborn kid, and say, man, I probably should fucking be 0.98

00:22:55.860 successful in my life.

00:22:57.100 Right.

00:22:57.580 So I can take care of this fucking kid, and I can get a better apartment, and live the 0.89

00:23:00.740 life I want to live.

00:23:01.900 Right?

00:23:02.500 Yeah.

00:23:02.900 So why the fuck is that so hard for people to connect those dots?

00:23:07.840 That's a good question.

00:23:08.900 Right, but I will tell you this, and Kelsey's going to agree with me, too, because most

00:23:14.440 of you guys know, Andy gets literally thousands of emails, so we help at least address them

00:23:20.280 and respond to them, and dude, I do think you're selling, to some extent, you're not,

00:23:26.680 you're, I guess, attempt to be objective and humble.

00:23:29.400 The reality is, Kelsey was just telling me this today.

00:23:31.180 She's like, it's kind of crazy, some of these emails we get, like, you really do impact

00:23:35.300 people's lives, and I'm going to, to answer your question, you know what?

00:23:38.680 There's a lot of, you're right, there's a lot of fakery, and there's a lot of BS in

00:23:42.100 the success space, but people are hungry for real, and they are hungry for people who really

00:23:47.740 care about them, and the emails that we get are over the top.

00:23:51.600 I mean, you, we've gotten one about a guy who, this podcast helped him endure the death

00:23:55.940 of his son who killed himself.

00:23:57.820 I mean, that's insane.

00:23:58.980 Yeah, I bumped that guy.

00:24:00.420 Yeah, you did.

00:24:02.120 So, people do, yeah.

00:24:04.000 Not everybody's self-motivated.

00:24:06.220 Fact.

00:24:07.020 And people do need help.

00:24:08.560 They do need a kick in the pants. 1.00

00:24:09.600 Yeah, I mean, you know, I think this is always, this is something I've struggled with my whole

00:24:13.660 life, is like, I don't understand why other people aren't like me.

00:24:19.060 You know what I mean?

00:24:20.000 Like, I look at other people, and I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

00:24:23.140 Right.

00:24:23.600 You know?

00:24:24.600 And then, whenever they are all, there's seven of them, and there's one of me, then

00:24:28.320 what ends up going home is I end up looking at myself in the mirror and be like, what

00:24:30.540 the fuck's wrong with you?

00:24:31.560 Right.

00:24:32.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:24:32.900 Right.

00:24:33.460 Like, because I don't get it.

00:24:35.200 Well, I think there's a difference between the people that look at your lifestyle and

00:24:40.000 say, that would be nice to have, or that would be nice to work towards, and people who,

00:24:44.700 you know, there's like, oh, yeah, that'd be nice, but I'm comfortable where I'm at.

00:24:48.680 You know?

00:24:49.220 And they would like to say that they want to be where you're at, but they don't.

00:24:54.100 Yeah.

00:24:54.440 You're probably right.

00:24:55.360 That's a really good point.

00:24:56.700 Yeah.

00:24:57.040 You know, I don't, I don't know.

00:24:58.740 For me, like, I've never, I've never, ever questioned, it's not about the lifestyle

00:25:03.940 either, man.

00:25:04.620 Like, I just, I like cool shit, and that's it.

00:25:07.560 You know, I grew up watching P. Diddy and fucking Mace and Biggie, and I want to be

00:25:10.640 them.

00:25:11.060 All right?

00:25:11.560 Right.

00:25:11.900 So, like, that's just me being a fucking kid.

00:25:15.740 That's like me, actually, what it is, it's like me getting back, being a kid, because

00:25:20.340 I never really got to be a kid, because I was fucking working.

00:25:23.480 You know what I mean?

00:25:24.760 And that's what it is, but it doesn't define anything about me.

00:25:28.160 You know?

00:25:28.780 I'm not fucking, you know, I don't care about that shit in all honesty.

00:25:34.500 I mean, I did 10 years ago, but now I don't.

00:25:36.720 I'm like, fuck, it's fucking stupid.

00:25:38.080 Well, you've learned that there's more.

00:25:39.100 No, dude, the best thing, the coolest thing that I've done in the last fucking year was

00:25:44.400 seeing, what are you going to say?

00:25:50.280 Well, I might not be thinking of what, you posted something about this, I think, on your

00:25:55.600 Instagram, or no?

00:25:57.360 The car show with the little kid?

00:25:59.060 Yeah.

00:25:59.840 So, I mean, the coolest thing I've seen in the last year was, Tyler, you were there, when

00:26:07.860 we went to Fit City and spoke to those inner-city weightlifter kids from, what's the name of

00:26:15.120 their group?

00:26:17.940 Weightlifters.

00:26:18.880 Lift for Life.

00:26:19.560 Lift for Life Weightlifters, yeah.

00:26:21.120 Dude, and I didn't even speak.

00:26:23.220 They asked me to speak, and I said no, because we had Big Ty Russ, we had Real World Tactical

00:26:29.260 Tony, and then we had...

00:26:30.980 Juan.

00:26:31.620 Juan, and then we had Juan, who's a DEA agent here in St. Louis.

00:26:35.200 Mike Kunahan.

00:26:35.800 Mike Kunahan, who's...

00:26:36.800 They all talk to these kids, and these kids are inner-city kids who are using lifting 0.79

00:26:42.600 after school to stay busy, really.

00:26:46.480 Yeah.

00:26:46.700 You know?

00:26:46.940 Yeah.

00:26:47.060 Yeah.

00:26:47.160 And to hear those dudes talk to those kids and coach them, that was pure, dude.

00:26:55.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:26:56.860 And Sal asked me, because he's like, you want to talk?

00:26:59.740 I'm like, no, I don't have to, because these guys just said everything that need to be said.

00:27:04.060 You know what I mean?

00:27:04.620 But that's, I don't know, I'm starting to think that's where I want to go with this.

00:27:09.220 You know, maybe even younger kids, high school and younger, because it was just pure, dude.

00:27:18.420 It was the pureness of what I like about this.

00:27:21.100 You know what I mean?

00:27:21.880 And then, you know, we had a kid come by headquarters.

00:27:29.200 Can I just insert something, though?

00:27:30.680 Yeah.

00:27:30.760 I think one of the reasons why that's such a satisfying experience is that those kids have

00:27:37.440 struggles that a lot of people don't.

00:27:39.340 And those struggles...

00:27:41.480 Dude, they're not bitching either. 1.00

00:27:42.980 Right.

00:27:43.360 But it just forges them, and it makes them hungry, and you can sense that.

00:27:49.240 And again, I'm not ripping on the average person that's just, you know, has grown up

00:27:53.440 in a nice family or whatever.

00:27:54.920 But unless you've experienced that, you just don't have that hunger.

00:27:58.640 You don't have that drive to make yourself better.

00:28:01.660 I think you're right.

00:28:01.740 I think what you're saying, like, dude, I want to be surrounded by...

00:28:04.180 I want to work with and be surrounded by people who are truly hungry.

00:28:07.680 Right.

00:28:08.100 You know what I mean?

00:28:08.640 Right.

00:28:09.080 Who are truly hungry.

00:28:10.540 Right.

00:28:10.780 Not the people that you just said that they, like, think would be nice.

00:28:16.280 Yeah.

00:28:16.640 I'm talking about people that would rather fucking die than not succeed.

00:28:20.600 Right.

00:28:21.040 And that's the truth.

00:28:21.980 And, like, dude, that's how I've always been.

00:28:23.960 Like, being where we are is, in all honesty, extremely disappointing.

00:28:29.100 Because I feel like I should be a lot further than where I am.

00:28:31.580 And I'm hungry as fuck.

00:28:32.540 And if you ask anybody that comes into our building on a daily basis, dude, I'm intense.

00:28:38.160 I'm hungry.

00:28:38.900 And I want to fucking win every day.

00:28:40.400 And, like, I don't connect with any other attitude.

00:28:45.720 Right.

00:28:46.100 You know?

00:28:46.580 And this attitude that you just described about it would be nice seems...

00:28:51.920 I think you kind of hit it on the head.

00:28:53.380 Because, like, I'm just getting tired of that.

00:28:54.920 I just had a conversation with my friends.

00:28:56.420 A lot of my friends have that mentality, which I'm cool with.

00:28:58.820 You know?

00:28:58.940 Yeah.

00:28:59.400 That's what you want.

00:29:00.180 That's what you want.

00:29:01.180 But we were talking about it today.

00:29:03.140 No, no.

00:29:03.380 And I'm, like, dude, I'm not...

00:29:04.580 Look, I have friends like that, too.

00:29:06.200 And we're great friends.

00:29:06.940 Oh, yeah.

00:29:06.960 And it's fine.

00:29:07.580 But here's where the problem is.

00:29:09.240 It's the people who try to act like they do.

00:29:09.960 Right.

00:29:10.200 Exactly.

00:29:10.680 The problem is, is when you're trying, when you say that you won't like this, and then

00:29:15.800 all your actions dictate and indicate otherwise.

00:29:19.620 And if you don't know if you're that kind of person, I can guarantee that if someone tells

00:29:23.520 you that you're that kind of person, if it doesn't make you angry or doesn't give you

00:29:27.500 a lot of anxiety thinking about just being an average person on an average day, you're

00:29:32.060 probably the hungry person.

00:29:33.240 Dude, it's something that, you know, you just have or you don't.

00:29:42.320 Yeah.

00:29:42.860 You know, and...

00:29:45.240 So let me throw out a hypothesis.

00:29:49.480 Yeah.

00:29:49.620 So you and I have talked a lot about the way you were growing up, you know, the way you

00:29:55.060 were raised, your experience growing up.

00:29:57.580 Somebody recently said, I read this somewhere that said that one of the number one issues

00:30:01.680 with America as a culture is we're just out of touch with reality.

00:30:05.580 And I feel like that's one of the things that I feel like has come through again and again

00:30:10.320 in your life and your life story.

00:30:12.860 Like you have not been shielded from reality, like the way things are, the harshness of life,

00:30:20.820 the trials of life, the temptation, the...

00:30:24.340 What's the word I'm looking for?

00:30:26.520 The...

00:30:27.200 Just everything.

00:30:29.000 The school of hard knocks.

00:30:30.000 I don't know how you put it.

00:30:30.880 But whether it's the way you were raised or some of the things that went on in your life

00:30:34.480 when you were young, you're just, you want something real because that's what you've

00:30:37.840 experienced your whole life.

00:30:39.020 And you're completely against fakeness and whatever.

00:30:42.680 And I think when you talk to people like these kids that you talk to, that's the way their

00:30:49.260 life is.

00:30:50.240 And when your life is full of reality and full of, no matter how harsh it is, you just,

00:30:56.140 you do, you have a hunger, you have a drive.

00:30:58.700 And maybe that's the problem is that most of the people that are in the success space

00:31:02.600 and it's just all...

00:31:04.980 Dude, it's all recycled bullshit.

00:31:06.460 Yeah, it's all just, it's just all fantasy.

00:31:08.860 It's a fucking meme.

00:31:09.960 Yeah.

00:31:10.440 Did that make any sense?

00:31:11.660 Yes.

00:31:11.800 What I was just trying to say?

00:31:12.800 Yeah.

00:31:13.120 Because I feel like it didn't.

00:31:14.100 No, it did.

00:31:15.620 But I mean, this is kind of a weird analogy, but I mean, you guys know I used to be a pastor.

00:31:21.100 I used to get so irritated when people would talk about like in America, how Christians

00:31:25.580 are persecuted because you hear stuff like, you know...

00:31:29.760 No, Christians are persecuted in fucking Iran.

00:31:32.220 Right.

00:31:32.820 In Syria.

00:31:34.000 Yeah, let's talk mess.

00:31:34.400 Right.

00:31:34.640 Where they cut your fucking head off.

00:31:35.880 Right, right.

00:31:36.720 That's persecution.

00:31:37.860 You're not persecuted because...

00:31:38.980 Because someone fucking holds a sign up that says, fuck Jesus.

00:31:42.100 Right.

00:31:42.440 That doesn't mean you're getting fucking persecuted.

00:31:44.480 Right.

00:31:44.940 The fuck over you, pussy. 1.00

00:31:46.340 Right.

00:31:46.600 And yet, every time that I would interact with somebody from overseas, like literally

00:31:52.100 where they're in countries, where they're getting beheaded for reading the Bible, like

00:31:56.920 all of a sudden I go...

00:31:57.600 Dude, America's a bunch of spoiled little brats. 1.00

00:31:59.620 Yeah.

00:32:00.040 That's what it's come down to.

00:32:02.160 And saying otherwise...

00:32:03.800 And the success and motivation space reflects that.

00:32:06.660 Dude, it does.

00:32:07.300 Yes.

00:32:07.620 Because it's playing to that.

00:32:09.260 Well, we're privileged and people don't acknowledge that.

00:32:11.580 Exactly.

00:32:12.220 They're not grateful.

00:32:13.600 Yeah.

00:32:13.840 They're not grateful for how fucking awesome it is to be an American.

00:32:17.280 And people like to throw around the word oppression without actually knowing what oppression

00:32:21.180 is.

00:32:21.740 Get the fuck out of here.

00:32:22.400 Right.

00:32:23.320 I mean, dude.

00:32:24.040 Dude.

00:32:25.820 Right.

00:32:26.900 I mean...

00:32:27.900 Go ahead.

00:32:28.080 I just had this conversation the other night about, no offense, but girls in America.

00:32:33.720 Oh, yeah.

00:32:34.620 It goes that deep.

00:32:36.500 What do you mean?

00:32:37.220 I won't even fuck with girls from America because they are just so entitled and like, 1.00

00:32:42.020 what they think they deserve in a relationship when they offer nothing in return.

00:32:46.020 We all just thought you were gay.

00:32:47.040 No, no, no.

00:32:48.060 I like pussy. 1.00

00:32:50.540 Oh, no.

00:32:51.080 You realize that when you say those kinds of things, I actually need to add a little

00:32:55.240 thing to the classification on iTunes.

00:32:57.800 Now I have to add suggestive dialogue to the classification.

00:33:01.460 That was already...

00:33:02.260 Just viewed them out anyway.

00:33:03.040 Everybody else does anyway.

00:33:04.840 Maybe that's my problem.

00:33:06.100 I'm like 90% Irish, so I come from hardback.

00:33:09.780 Dude, I don't know, man.

00:33:10.680 Look, and then the other thing is like, you know, like people don't know what it's like

00:33:19.080 to work hard.

00:33:20.060 You know what I mean?

00:33:20.920 Like all these motherfuckers on the internet talking about like, oh, dude, I fucking grind,

00:33:26.800 rise and grind, fucking the grind includes Friday. 0.91

00:33:31.120 Motherfucker, the grind includes Saturday and Sunday too.

00:33:34.240 Okay?

00:33:34.680 And like, dude, they talk about all this work and all this time.

00:33:37.900 I don't sleep.

00:33:38.880 I don't blah, blah, blah.

00:33:39.900 You know what?

00:33:41.060 How about this?

00:33:41.880 For two weeks, let's make you go work fucking foundation work or construction or flat work. 0.99

00:33:49.100 And let's talk about fucking hard work.

00:33:51.380 That's what I used to fucking do.

00:33:53.440 Okay?

00:33:54.580 Dude, let's take them in the middle of summer and let's put them out in a fucking construction

00:33:59.280 site with their fucking boots on and make them carry concrete forms for fucking 10 hours 0.99

00:34:04.160 a day.

00:34:05.140 And then we'll talk about hard work.

00:34:07.200 You know what I mean?

00:34:08.120 There's two kinds of hard work.

00:34:09.580 There's fucking hard work.

00:34:11.540 Okay?

00:34:11.900 Like, hey, I'm dedicated.

00:34:13.940 I'm grinding.

00:34:14.920 I'm doing what I need to do on a daily basis.

00:34:17.400 But is it really that fucking hard?

00:34:20.320 Is it stressful?

00:34:21.460 Yeah.

00:34:22.200 Stressful.

00:34:23.000 Right.

00:34:23.180 Is it exhausting?

00:34:24.080 Yes, it is.

00:34:24.840 Right.

00:34:25.060 But it's not fucking hard.

00:34:28.240 Hard is getting up at four o'clock in the morning because it's going to be 110 fucking 0.98

00:34:32.580 degrees outside and going out and carrying eight foot foundation forms for 10 fucking 0.98

00:34:39.480 hours for 400 bucks a week.

00:34:41.940 That's fucking hard.

00:34:43.300 Yeah.

00:34:44.120 Okay?

00:34:44.880 And dude, all these motherfuckers on the internet, these pretty boy fucking success snake oil salesmen 0.96

00:34:53.580 or whatever the fuck you want to call them, they don't know a goddamn thing about working 0.72

00:34:56.760 hard.

00:34:57.680 And that's the truth.

00:34:58.660 Yeah.

00:34:59.280 You know, I come from a family of fucking blue collar.

00:35:01.980 Yeah.

00:35:02.420 You know what I'm saying?

00:35:03.200 Dude, people that fucking work for a living.

00:35:04.700 All of them.

00:35:05.840 You know, my dad was a business owner, but dude, he fucking worked.

00:35:09.660 You know what I mean?

00:35:10.900 Dude, these people don't fucking get it.

00:35:12.740 Like, and like, I almost feel like it should be a requirement for like our youth and everybody

00:35:18.820 to have two weeks a year fucking hard labor. 0.95

00:35:21.920 Like for two weeks a year, you've got to go work one of these 10 fucking hard ass jobs.

00:35:28.140 I've always told people that people should have to work construction, retail, and food

00:35:32.540 service.

00:35:33.060 Dude.

00:35:33.740 To be like a well-rounded person.

00:35:35.640 Yeah.

00:35:36.420 Yeah.

00:35:36.780 That's actually, that's actually a good point.

00:35:39.300 But the, but you know what I'm saying?

00:35:40.620 Like, like dude, you don't even know how fucking good you have it.

00:35:44.420 Like.

00:35:44.740 Right.

00:35:44.980 You, you, I got to tell you the other thing that I really like about the fact this comes

00:35:51.640 through in this podcast, not this particular one, but, but in the whole series of podcasts,

00:35:55.900 you often say to people, listen, there's always a context to what I'm talking about.

00:36:01.220 And one of the things that I hate.

00:36:02.920 Oh my God.

00:36:03.420 About this.

00:36:04.000 Well, I hate about the success and motivation industry.

00:36:06.560 The internet in general.

00:36:07.620 Well, yes, but particularly, and I'm, I will tell you, I mean, I know I'm biased, but I

00:36:11.640 will tell you, I do not think you, well, I know you don't lump into this is that there

00:36:16.900 is such an emphasis on self-satisfaction in the success and motivation that true success

00:36:24.540 in life is you being happy with your life and you being personally satisfied.

00:36:29.400 And I think what's lost in that sometimes is, you know what?

00:36:32.500 Sometimes you have to sacrifice for the good of others.

00:36:34.860 That's the point.

00:36:35.700 Yes.

00:36:35.940 Dude, you're making the point I'm talking about.

00:36:38.000 Yeah.

00:36:39.560 That the message is, Oh, let's just be happy.

00:36:43.040 Oh, you know, it's, it's, it's important to be happy.

00:36:46.020 It's the most important thing.

00:36:47.360 Well, I agree, but you know how you do that?

00:36:50.400 You got to fucking earn it.

00:36:51.920 Right.

00:36:52.660 Okay.

00:36:53.020 You got to put, dude, you don't get to be happy just cause you fucking decide to be,

00:36:57.700 Oh, I'm happy.

00:36:58.920 You might pretend to be that.

00:37:00.540 You might tell your fucking friends that you might tell your family that you might post

00:37:04.100 that on the internet.

00:37:04.740 But when you look in the fucking mirror, if you haven't earned that right to be happy

00:37:09.200 by doing the fucking work that it takes, that you can look back and say, Hey, I'm 0.68

00:37:13.540 fucking proud of this.

00:37:14.780 Right.

00:37:15.200 I'm proud of what I did.

00:37:16.440 I'm proud of the work I did.

00:37:17.660 I'm proud of what I built.

00:37:19.700 Then you don't deserve to be happy.

00:37:21.240 Right.

00:37:21.820 And you won't be right.

00:37:23.360 And that's it.

00:37:24.320 Right.

00:37:24.820 And then there are those people who we get emails from saying, Oh, Andy,

00:37:27.700 I love what you say so much.

00:37:28.980 So I realized that my wife and kids were a total drain on my happiness.

00:37:32.960 So I'm just going to drop them.

00:37:34.620 You know, it's like, no.

00:37:36.480 Okay, dude, you're not listening to what we, you have obligations.

00:37:39.580 Okay.

00:37:40.340 Pursuit of happiness does not mean that you just drop your obligations.

00:37:43.500 Like I get, that's why I'm getting to the point where I, like, I almost want to talk

00:37:46.660 to people before they even, before life gets ahold of them.

00:37:49.500 Fresh slate.

00:37:49.960 Right.

00:37:50.360 Well, that's the cool thing about kids.

00:37:51.700 Right.

00:37:51.960 Exactly.

00:37:52.280 They have an energy and they're not afraid.

00:37:53.960 Well, dude, because dude, if you could tell these kids like, Hey, you know what?

00:37:58.900 Your friends are going to do this.

00:38:00.260 This is what they're going to fucking do.

00:38:01.520 They're going to go to fucking high school.

00:38:03.200 They're going to go to college because people tell them to go to college.

00:38:05.840 They're going to go fucking get married because they're supposed to get married. 1.00

00:38:08.760 They're going to have two or three kids.

00:38:10.140 And then they're going to turn around and look back and say, fuck, I should have thought

00:38:13.840 this through a little bit better because now I can't afford to do fucking anything.

00:38:17.080 Right.

00:38:17.720 Right.

00:38:18.060 And then they're going to want to, they're going to want their freedom back.

00:38:21.640 So they're going to get divorced and then their life is going to be hard.

00:38:26.280 Right.

00:38:26.840 And you know, nobody tells people that, you know, they teach you fucking calculus, but

00:38:32.880 they don't teach you that.

00:38:33.700 Right.

00:38:34.180 You don't say, Hey, what sense does that fucking make?

00:38:36.660 Yeah.

00:38:36.840 Nothing.

00:38:37.140 You know, so like, why are we not teaching kids from the get go?

00:38:41.060 Like, Hey, look, you know, when you're 19, 20 years old, you need to be thinking about

00:38:44.920 what your life's going to be like when you're 40.

00:38:46.720 You need to be thinking about, you know, that you're working now for your future family.

00:38:52.860 Okay.

00:38:53.240 You want to have a family?

00:38:54.180 That's great.

00:38:54.820 I think you should, but you need to take that serious, that obligation now, as if you

00:38:59.180 already had that family, you know?

00:39:01.080 And why aren't they teaching this shit in fucking high school?

00:39:04.020 Yeah.

00:39:04.220 I, although I would have to say that you didn't learn.

00:39:06.320 You weren't taught that you were taught that by your dad, dude, you know, I was parents.

00:39:10.440 No, I hit the fucking lottery.

00:39:12.620 Like this is all right.

00:39:14.680 I hit the lottery of fucking dads.

00:39:16.940 That's what it came down to.

00:39:18.300 Okay.

00:39:19.080 And people talk about luck and do I believe in luck?

00:39:23.540 Yeah, I do.

00:39:24.340 Under certain contexts.

00:39:25.520 Can't pick your fucking parents.

00:39:26.820 That's luck.

00:39:27.480 Right.

00:39:28.320 Can you, can you, is there luck in business?

00:39:32.760 I don't know.

00:39:33.560 I think, I think, I think everything happens in business as a result of lessons you've learned

00:39:38.760 and being prepared for situations that come up and capitalizing on those situations.

00:39:42.960 I think it's an A plus B equals C deal and that quote unquote luck situations are going

00:39:50.520 to happen to anybody.

00:39:51.720 You've just got to be prepared to fucking take advantage of them.

00:39:53.940 I think the language you used in a previous episode is good.

00:39:57.480 It's, it's not luck.

00:39:58.420 It's fortunate.

00:39:59.060 There are things that happen to people that are favorable.

00:40:01.600 They're fortunate.

00:40:02.420 Right.

00:40:02.600 They're, they're, they're positive.

00:40:03.960 So, but how many of those favorable things or quote unquote lucky things happen to people

00:40:07.760 that they don't move on because they're, they don't, they're not prepared or they haven't

00:40:11.160 done the work ahead of time to recognize the opportunity.

00:40:13.720 Right.

00:40:14.220 You see what I'm seeing?

00:40:14.960 Right.

00:40:15.200 Everybody has those.

00:40:16.200 They just, not everybody fucking recognizes them.

00:40:18.260 Right.

00:40:18.500 So it's not luck, dude.

00:40:19.640 It's just the way things are.

00:40:20.760 Right.

00:40:21.100 That's how I see it.

00:40:21.980 Yeah.

00:40:22.260 No, I, and, and, and the reason I don't say luck all the time and don't like, do people

00:40:26.900 like, yo, Andy, you said there's no such thing as luck.

00:40:29.940 Well, what about fucking Derek Wida, your friend?

00:40:33.280 He got his leg shot off in Iraq.

00:40:34.800 You don't think that's fucking bad luck.

00:40:36.500 Well, you know what?

00:40:38.640 Depends on how you look at it because it doesn't suck for him at the time.

00:40:42.680 Yeah.

00:40:43.400 But the dude impacts millions of people now.

00:40:46.020 It does.

00:40:46.560 You see what I'm saying?

00:40:47.120 Man, so what is it?

00:40:49.320 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:50.020 Yeah.

00:40:50.960 Yeah.

00:40:51.220 It's all perspective.

00:40:52.100 I would also say.

00:40:52.780 It's not luck that he chose to be influential.

00:40:55.360 Right.

00:40:55.460 Like, you have to look at it.

00:40:56.300 It's not just the situation.

00:40:57.600 It's what you do with the situation.

00:40:59.740 And he chose his life after that.

00:41:01.880 But, I mean, there is lucky things.

00:41:03.260 Like, dude, I can't, I can't, I mean, I was born with a fucking dad who, who his dad

00:41:08.920 taught him the right shit, so he taught me the right shit. 0.74

00:41:11.740 And somewhere along the line, somebody taught my grandpa the right shit.

00:41:14.560 Right.

00:41:15.100 You know what I mean?

00:41:15.560 So I was born into, into that.

00:41:17.540 You know, that's, that's, I mean, that's luck.

00:41:22.440 Right.

00:41:22.940 What are you going to say about that?

00:41:24.860 Well, you know, that old cliche, it really is true.

00:41:27.700 The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

00:41:29.620 And it's just the, the, the, the, the incredible value of the person who's raising you, you

00:41:34.840 know, and it's the person who is shaping you when you're a young person.

00:41:38.420 That's what we're doing here.

00:41:39.680 Like, that was the main thing of like, what I wanted to do with this project was to bring

00:41:43.780 those things that I've learned, that I've been taught, that I've experienced, and that

00:41:48.400 I've compounded upon and grown a, a, a, a nice business upon those principles to people

00:41:54.920 who didn't have that.

00:41:55.860 Right.

00:41:56.580 You know what I mean?

00:41:57.700 Right.

00:41:58.100 To people who, who didn't have somebody in their life that they could go to and say,

00:42:02.340 Hey, what do you think about this?

00:42:03.980 Or, Hey, what's this?

00:42:05.060 Or, Hey, you know, like, dude, my dad never sugarcoated anything.

00:42:08.160 He still doesn't.

00:42:09.200 Anybody who knows him will tell you that to the point where like, I've got to watch him

00:42:12.320 when I take him out because like, he will say shit that people will get super pissed

00:42:16.580 about.

00:42:17.100 And he just thinks it's like common sense.

00:42:19.660 Yeah.

00:42:20.140 Yeah.

00:42:20.580 Like, like, I ran into him at the gym the other day.

00:42:23.080 He was talking about this to one of your employees.

00:42:25.260 He's like, I have to shut my mouth every time I go into this.

00:42:28.080 Dude, because they get their fucking feelings hurt.

00:42:30.520 You know, like people think I'm fucking crazy.

00:42:32.740 Like, dude, you should spend a fucking day with my dad.

00:42:34.600 Yeah.

00:42:34.800 We need to bring him in again.

00:42:35.880 Dude, we do.

00:42:36.520 Yeah.

00:42:37.040 You know, he, he will, uh, you know, you'll go to a restaurant and there'll be like a fucking, 0.77

00:42:42.740 let's say something wrong with a silverware or something.

00:42:44.780 He'll pick the silverware up and look at the waitress and be like, Hey, you see this?

00:42:49.180 You know, this is why people don't come to your fucking restaurant.

00:42:51.540 And like, it'll be like a lesson.

00:42:53.240 Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:42:54.600 Yeah.

00:42:55.260 And like, you know, it depends on how you look at it.

00:42:58.080 Like you can look at it one, like it's super offensive or two, that he's actually taking

00:43:01.840 the time to help you realize how big of an impact that is on you.

00:43:06.240 You know what I mean?

00:43:07.320 So, so my dad, uh, I wouldn't say he was as intense as, as your dad, but he said to me

00:43:11.840 one time, he said, you know, America would be a lot better off if instead of saying, does

00:43:17.980 it, if asking, does it offend me?

00:43:19.920 Ask the question, is it true?

00:43:22.700 You know, people are more, people are more concerned about if something is offensive rather

00:43:26.840 than if something's true, you know?

00:43:28.820 And, uh, yeah.

00:43:30.200 So I, wow.

00:43:32.340 I mean, there's so many different ways we, directions we can go with this conversation.

00:43:36.240 You know what, people, people, people, now like being offended is almost like, it's

00:43:42.600 like become this thing where it's like you broke a fucking law. 0.91

00:43:47.240 Like you, like, like you touched a fucking kid or something. 0.94

00:43:49.920 Right.

00:43:50.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:43:50.860 Like, Oh God, are you offending me?

00:43:53.360 So what?

00:43:54.940 I'd be curious to know how many people in America today think that the right not to

00:43:59.780 be offended is some, some sort of, you don't have a right not to be offended.

00:44:02.860 Right, right.

00:44:03.220 Well, if it wasn't true, they wouldn't be offended.

00:44:05.340 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:06.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:07.060 So, uh, yeah.

00:44:09.080 So, um, so we're just getting all over the place.

00:44:13.200 No, but I, I, I mean, let's, I mean, the bottom line is, is like, you know, you asked me

00:44:16.960 a question.

00:44:17.540 The answer to it is, is like, I just, you know, I need to figure out what direction I want to

00:44:22.420 take this and feel good about it because, you know, I, dude, I think I'm, I'm just

00:44:30.460 going to sound like I'm bragging and I guess I am, but fuck it.

00:44:33.340 I'm a better speaker than all these other motherfuckers out there and that's it.

00:44:36.500 I agree.

00:44:36.860 And, uh, and I, I listened to what, what they say and I, a lot of them talk out of both sides

00:44:42.940 of their mouth.

00:44:44.040 I like, like, I like guys like Eric Thomas, like ET, I respect that guy.

00:44:48.720 You know what I'm saying?

00:44:49.520 Like he spends a lot of time with kids.

00:44:51.120 He's, he's, he's telling people the truth.

00:44:53.840 You know, he's a little more cleaned up than I am.

00:44:56.040 And I respect that too.

00:44:57.400 Cause I wish I could be sometimes, you know what I mean?

00:44:59.760 But I'm me and I am what I am.

00:45:01.880 Um, and, and, and I, I like the purity of that.

00:45:07.400 Um, you know, when it becomes this, like, dude, I just want to help people, man.

00:45:14.280 You know what I'm saying?

00:45:15.080 Like, I, I just want to help people.

00:45:17.180 I want to help people.

00:45:18.260 And I want, I want people to, I want to know that, that, that it's helping people.

00:45:24.700 But then when I stop and I look myself in the eye and I think about when I think about it

00:45:29.140 and I break it down, like I, like I said, you know, people that have it are going to

00:45:33.280 have it and people that aren't, aren't.

00:45:35.200 So who the fuck am I talking to?

00:45:37.380 Right.

00:45:37.860 Yeah.

00:45:38.200 And I got to figure that out.

00:45:39.320 Yeah.

00:45:39.820 Good.

00:45:40.280 You know?

00:45:40.940 So I, I like, uh, you know, I think I'm going to start trying to do a lot more with kids.

00:45:47.800 Um, and kind of maybe focus in on that because I feel like, you know, like Tyler said, you

00:45:53.220 know, when you're working with a blank slate, you're, you're kind of like solving a problem

00:45:57.540 at the root maybe, you know what I mean?

00:45:59.020 As opposed to like trying to fix somebody who is already fucking so mentally gone, you 0.88

00:46:04.860 know?

00:46:05.440 When you say kids, I'm just curious.

00:46:06.860 Do you mean, would it go up to college age?

00:46:12.300 I don't know, man.

00:46:13.240 I feel like, I feel like college, I feel like college age, you know, I don't know.

00:46:22.700 Like I just, I feel like college age kids think they know fucking everything and I feel

00:46:28.940 like they, you know, they think they know what the fuck you're saying when they really 0.62

00:46:33.180 don't fucking have an idea. 0.73

00:46:34.540 Like when I'm telling them what it's really going to fucking take for them to be successful,

00:46:37.760 they think that means like sacrificing one Saturday a fucking month and not drinking. 0.90

00:46:42.740 Right.

00:46:43.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:46:43.940 Right.

00:46:44.460 And you know, I, there's a cool, there's a, you know, there's, I saw this graphic out

00:46:51.520 there about Bill Gates.

00:46:52.380 It said he didn't take one day off in his twenties.

00:46:54.900 You know what I'm saying?

00:46:56.280 And that, that's what it fucking takes.

00:46:57.700 And, and to get people to get that, they, they hear that and they think it's like not

00:47:05.260 true.

00:47:06.200 Right.

00:47:07.500 And then you got other people out there who are successful being like, Oh dude, you know,

00:47:10.920 I'll show you how to do it and, and not have to work hard.

00:47:14.820 And then, you know, like it's just all these conflicting messages that are not true.

00:47:21.700 I don't know one person.

00:47:22.920 I personally do not know one person that is successful that has done it in less than seven,

00:47:28.980 eight, nine years.

00:47:30.320 You know what I mean?

00:47:31.880 And I'm talking about when I say successful, you know, making at least a million bucks a

00:47:36.600 year.

00:47:36.780 You know, I, I just, I don't know one, you know, and that's the other thing, you know,

00:47:42.420 like people saying like, uh, Gary has this thing that he says, you know, if you've, if

00:47:48.940 you're in the top, if you make 400 grand, you're in the top one, you're at the bottom

00:47:53.440 of the top 1% and you, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:47:56.040 But I'm going to tell you right now, dude, you know, 400 grand might sound like a fuck

00:48:00.080 load of money, but I'm going to tell you right now that shit goes fucking fast.

00:48:04.360 And when you have people that you have to take care of and things you have to do and

00:48:07.780 obligations, dude, that's not, you know, you need to be setting your goals higher than

00:48:13.300 that, you know?

00:48:14.940 And if you're setting your goal at 400 grand, you're probably never going to be 400 grand.

00:48:17.560 You're going to make a hundred grand.

00:48:19.780 You know what I mean?

00:48:20.540 So I don't know.

00:48:22.520 Like, I just, there's just things that, you know, I think, I think people are getting

00:48:32.900 so much information thrown at them that they don't know what to listen to or what to believe

00:48:39.960 or what to do.

00:48:41.520 And it's just like the diet and fitness industry.

00:48:44.060 You know, there's, there's all these diets and all these workouts and all these plans.

00:48:48.240 And what do people do?

00:48:49.380 They do nothing because there's so much shit thrown at them that they don't know what

00:48:51.900 the fuck to do.

00:48:52.860 Right.

00:48:53.040 And I feel like it's the success thing because of like platforms like Instagram has become

00:48:59.720 so similar to that, that like, I don't want to be a part of it.

00:49:04.540 You know, I don't, or, or I've got to figure out a way to be a part of it.

00:49:08.280 That's different.

00:49:08.920 Just like I do it by companies.

00:49:10.360 You know what I mean?

00:49:11.400 Where I differentiated our companies away from the typical quote unquote supplement brand.

00:49:16.380 Like, Hey, here's a fucking professional bodybuilder who, you know, has been training

00:49:20.960 for 30 years, but he took my protein last week and he gained fucking 70 pounds. 0.98

00:49:24.940 You know what I mean?

00:49:25.920 Right.

00:49:26.180 So, so I'm trying to figure out, I guess what I'm trying to do, dude, is to figure out

00:49:30.160 a way to feel good about what we're doing.

00:49:35.480 Yeah.

00:49:35.860 You know what I mean?

00:49:36.500 Yeah.

00:49:36.780 So I don't know, you know, uh, and I know people are going to listen to this and be

00:49:44.340 like, Oh dude, you know, you should do this or you should do that.

00:49:48.000 Just save that shit.

00:49:48.800 Cause I'm not, I'm no offense.

00:49:50.560 I'm not going to listen to whatever the fuck you say.

00:49:52.020 I'm going to decide on my own.

00:49:53.080 It's just the way I am.

00:49:54.180 You know what I mean?

00:49:55.240 That's why I don't fucking say, Hey, what are you, what should we talk about?

00:49:57.960 Cause I don't, I'm gonna fucking talk about what I want to talk about.

00:50:01.460 Right.

00:50:02.220 So revolution is needed for sure.

00:50:05.140 Yeah, man.

00:50:05.640 And like, I need to figure out how to like, yeah, I need to figure out how to like change

00:50:09.600 what's going on.

00:50:12.640 You know what I mean?

00:50:14.120 Cause dude, people are being fed this same thing over and over and over and over and over

00:50:18.280 and over and, and, and we're creating a generation of, of the success zombie thing.

00:50:25.340 You know what I mean?

00:50:26.040 Like dude, just cause you consume somebody's Facebook posts and videos and snaps and all this

00:50:31.180 shit.

00:50:32.400 That doesn't mean you're going to be any more successful.

00:50:34.700 Right.

00:50:35.580 You know?

00:50:35.840 And I feel like people are buying into that.

00:50:38.780 Like I follow this person and this person, this person, I surround myself with all these

00:50:42.600 things.

00:50:45.100 So, you know, I'm going to be successful.

00:50:47.360 Well, I mean, it's like someone who gets a master's and doesn't do anything with it.

00:50:51.680 Exactly.

00:50:52.280 Right.

00:50:52.800 Right.

00:50:53.460 It's cool.

00:50:54.100 You got 200 grand in student loans, but it's the same thing.

00:50:57.120 It's like, you know, and I'm trying to figure out how to like get through and past speaking

00:51:06.260 to that group and speak to the people who are the people who, who really want to fucking 0.93

00:51:11.400 do it.

00:51:11.820 Right.

00:51:12.220 You know what I mean?

00:51:12.840 Right.

00:51:13.540 Like, I guess that's what I'm getting to.

00:51:15.560 Like, I don't, I don't like talking.

00:51:17.120 How do we find the people who?

00:51:18.500 Yes.

00:51:19.080 In ministry, we always said you, we want to look to work with the willing.

00:51:23.000 Yeah.

00:51:23.320 You know, that's how, that's how you, you, you want to work with people who, I don't

00:51:26.640 want to fucking really know their need. 0.75

00:51:28.380 I'm tired of dragging people, dude.

00:51:29.840 I've been dragging people my whole fucking life.

00:51:31.380 Yeah.

00:51:31.920 Tired of that.

00:51:32.860 I want to work with people who are going to fucking do it regardless of me being there

00:51:35.960 or not and help direct them on their path.

00:51:39.280 Does that make sense?

00:51:40.120 Right.

00:51:40.760 You know, and that's what I want to do.

00:51:42.680 And I don't want to fucking talk to all these other motherfuckers who ain't going to do

00:51:45.460 shit anyway.

00:51:46.100 Right.

00:51:46.780 You know what I mean?

00:51:47.340 Cause like, dude, I know it.

00:51:48.300 Like when I go talk to a group and people come up and they're like, Oh dude, that was so great.

00:51:52.500 I'm going to fucking blah, blah, blah. 0.65

00:51:53.920 I'm like, no motherfucker.

00:51:55.000 You're gonna go home and drink a beer.

00:51:56.940 You know what I mean?

00:51:58.540 And I'm, I'm over that shit.

00:52:00.420 Yeah.

00:52:00.760 And I know it.

00:52:01.380 I'm not fucking stupid.

00:52:02.320 I could pick up on it right away.

00:52:04.100 You know, you're going to be the same person you were when you, when you walked in here.

00:52:08.200 So let's save me some time and you some time and you just go drink your beer and I'll

00:52:12.380 just keep doing my fucking thing. 0.99

00:52:13.900 Right.

00:52:14.300 You know what I mean?

00:52:15.640 Right.

00:52:15.960 Mind blown.

00:52:18.280 I'll tell you that.

00:52:19.020 Um, seriously.

00:52:20.380 No, I mean, ladies and gentlemen, we didn't, we didn't plan this.

00:52:23.980 Yeah.

00:52:24.500 So we're probably gonna have to read, uh, redo the intro, but, uh, um, I'm, I'll figure it

00:52:31.260 out and I always figure it out.

00:52:32.560 It's not, you know, people probably listen to this being like, Oh, he's going to quit

00:52:35.520 doing his shit. 0.88

00:52:36.640 It's not that it's just, I'm just going to adjust the way I do things to fit, um, people

00:52:43.560 who I think are deserving and willing and, and able to do what they want to do.

00:52:49.720 I'm tired.

00:52:50.420 I'm tired.

00:52:50.980 I've been in business for damn near 20 years and I'm tired of dragging people.

00:52:54.860 I'm tired of convincing people.

00:52:56.520 I'm tired of fucking, you know, like, dude, you, the fact that you don't have the shit

00:53:02.940 and live the kind of life that you want to live should be the motivation you need.

00:53:06.740 That's it.

00:53:07.740 You shouldn't need anybody else.

00:53:09.020 You shouldn't need somebody in your ear on a fucking daily basis saying, Hey man, let's

00:53:13.900 fucking go.

00:53:14.820 You know what the fuck, you know, get out there and fucking do something.

00:53:18.860 Yeah.

00:53:19.420 You know, the only thing, the only other thing that popped into my mind and I want to be

00:53:22.600 careful because I know that, you know, we've talked about how money's not a bad thing,

00:53:26.020 obviously.

00:53:26.720 And, and it's, and money's a fucking great and it's a great thing.

00:53:29.220 And what you, what you do with it is really what makes it good or bad.

00:53:32.140 But it is interesting.

00:53:34.540 All these people in the success and motivation industry who are constantly talking about

00:53:39.260 how much it's their, it's, it's their heart passion to motivate people, to help them to

00:53:44.820 succeed, to, to, to achieve their goals in life.

00:53:47.660 Well, what if you suddenly said, okay, well, you're going to, you're going to do that, but

00:53:51.700 you're not going to profit off of it.

00:53:53.100 Let's be real.

00:53:53.680 How many people would still do that?

00:53:54.940 Let's be real.

00:53:55.700 Let's be real.

00:53:57.480 How many of those people give back?

00:53:59.500 Let's be real.

00:54:00.300 Like give back in a fucking relative way.

00:54:02.580 All right.

00:54:03.020 You know where I'm going right after this?

00:54:04.660 I'm going, and people are going to take this as bragging, but I'm going to fucking tell you

00:54:07.360 anyway, cause I don't give a fuck.

00:54:08.560 I'm going to my high school and they're dedicating the baseball field that I fucking built for

00:54:15.040 the high school with Chris, my partner.

00:54:17.260 Okay.

00:54:18.420 We built two years ago.

00:54:19.600 We built them a fucking football field.

00:54:21.480 The year before that, we built them a fucking weight room.

00:54:25.200 All right.

00:54:25.760 That's where I'm going after this.

00:54:27.020 Where are these motherfuckers going? 1.00

00:54:29.260 Where's that money going?

00:54:30.980 You see what I'm saying?

00:54:31.760 Absolutely.

00:54:32.360 It's bullshit.

00:54:33.160 Yeah.

00:54:34.160 Yeah.

00:54:34.800 Oh, I fucking care about people.

00:54:36.100 Just give me your money.

00:54:36.900 Right.

00:54:37.560 You know what I mean?

00:54:38.400 Right.

00:54:39.040 Dude, it's just, look, there's real.

00:54:42.000 And then there's fucking, there's fucking internet.

00:54:45.180 You know what I mean?

00:54:46.120 I'm trying to figure out a way to like separate myself from getting thrown in with all these fucking

00:54:51.540 jack offs.

00:54:52.680 Cause that's what they are.

00:54:53.600 That's a very good question.

00:54:56.140 Yeah.

00:54:56.700 Yeah.

00:54:56.960 It's not a question.

00:54:57.580 It's a statement.

00:54:58.100 Well, no, I mean how to do that.

00:54:59.880 Oh.

00:55:00.260 That's the how to do that.

00:55:03.040 Look, dude, I'll figure it out.

00:55:04.600 I always do.

00:55:05.600 It's a very good poem.

00:55:07.300 Yeah.

00:55:08.120 Let's work on a haiku.

00:55:10.100 Jack offs on the internet.

00:55:12.520 Take your money.

00:55:13.980 You be broke.

00:55:16.100 No, but it does, you know, I mean.

00:55:17.420 You're surprised I know what a haiku is.

00:55:19.060 I am actually.

00:55:19.840 I mean, it is, it is a, it is a question.

00:55:24.440 Like, do you just work to reform the current success space or do you just say, no, because

00:55:28.760 like to do my own thing, to do, to do what I want to do.

00:55:32.040 It's like, I have to get on the internet and fucking call these motherfuckers out.

00:55:35.520 The weed out, weed out the week.

00:55:37.360 Yeah.

00:55:37.540 And I don't want to do that because it's not my style.

00:55:39.500 My style has never been to like trash people.

00:55:41.500 My style is to be like, do my own thing and let it work itself out.

00:55:45.540 Right.

00:55:45.800 You know what I mean?

00:55:46.320 So, you know, maybe, maybe, you know, well, what about like that St. Bart's thing?

00:55:52.100 Like, did that bring like the type of quality people that you were interested in?

00:55:55.500 Yeah, it was a good group.

00:55:56.160 You know, that's what I was, I was thinking about.

00:55:58.060 So there's like some sort of commitment.

00:55:59.140 I was thinking about doing something like that.

00:56:00.800 Like I thought about doing like, uh, like a weekend or something or a workshop here, like,

00:56:06.660 like for like 10 people at a time or like, you know, a reasonable manageable group that

00:56:11.380 you can like spend time with and talk to and all that shit, you know, and make them pay

00:56:15.260 like fucking a real amount of money.

00:56:16.880 Like the group here that was after the Gary, the VIP group.

00:56:19.260 Yeah, like they could pay fucking five grand or something to come in.

00:56:21.220 You know what I mean?

00:56:22.040 Because like, dude, if you're paying five grand to come in, I know you're fucking serious.

00:56:25.320 You know what I mean?

00:56:26.420 And then maybe we'll donate the money to something.

00:56:28.460 You know, I don't, I don't, I mean, I just want it as like a fucking vetting process for

00:56:34.080 like, you know.

00:56:35.700 You also have to think that as you grow and your message grows, the people who are ready

00:56:40.280 to grow with you are also going to stick around and the people who are not at that

00:56:43.400 point won't be around it.

00:56:44.360 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:56:46.960 Well, hey, look, this is dragging on.

00:56:50.300 People are probably like, what the fuck right now?

00:56:52.440 I'm sorry for the long drawn out podcast today, guys.

00:56:56.360 Just working through some shit, just trying to keep it real.

00:56:59.160 You know, I'll figure it out.

00:57:04.260 And, you know, I appreciate you guys sticking with us and sticking, sticking by us and being

00:57:08.720 loyal and spreading the word, man, because if it wasn't for you guys, I sure as fuck wouldn't

00:57:12.880 be doing this, I can tell you that right now, you know, and I'm just in a weird mood today,

00:57:16.280 man.

00:57:16.600 Like, you know, when you walked in.

00:57:18.340 Yeah.

00:57:18.560 Well, dude, I, you know what?

00:57:19.500 I had a big talk with our, with our company last night, like our sales guys and we're killing

00:57:23.900 it, dude.

00:57:24.280 We fucking, we've already sold more this year, the first quarter of this year than we sold

00:57:29.400 the first nine months of last year.

00:57:31.160 You know what I mean?

00:57:32.140 We're killing it.

00:57:33.120 But the point is, is there's things that are being left on the table.

00:57:35.680 There's opportunities that are being fall through the cracks.

00:57:38.280 And like that, I can't fucking stand that.

00:57:41.200 Like it's a reflective of character.

00:57:42.600 Like you're like, dude, when you're truly hungry, you don't fucking let opportunity slip

00:57:47.780 through your fucking fingers, you know? 0.97

00:57:49.540 And like, I'm, I'm just tired of having the conversation of like, Hey, we got to fucking

00:57:55.300 do this.

00:57:55.820 And, you know, and like, dude, I got to post these motherfucking thing videos on the fucking

00:58:00.200 internet.
