REAL AF with Andy Frisella - What Makes Your Work Worthwhile？, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO316

00:00:00.320 I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.

00:00:04.780 Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.

00:00:13.040 Ready?

00:00:14.580 What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.

00:00:22.640 Guys, our goal here at the MFCEO Project is to help you become the MFCEO of your life, your world, and your community.

00:00:33.860 A lot of you guys are interested in business. A lot of you guys are interested in making more money.

00:00:38.820 A lot of you guys are just interested in being better. That's what this show's about.

00:00:43.000 We're going to cover entrepreneurship, we're going to cover business, we're going to cover all sorts of things that are going to have to deal with you improving.

00:00:48.360 And just because you don't own a business right now doesn't mean you shouldn't be thinking as if you did.

00:00:55.440 And we're going to talk about that today.

00:00:57.160 As always, I am joined by two other dudes here.

00:01:02.920 One of them you know as MC Salmon.

00:01:08.080 The other one you know as DJ DJ God.

00:01:11.900 And they are both here to weigh in and bring some value to the people.

00:01:18.360 What is going on?

00:01:19.640 Well, speaking of God.

00:01:22.020 Did we speak of God?

00:01:23.860 Well, you said DJ DJ God.

00:01:25.520 Oh.

00:01:26.160 And whenever you speak of DJ DJ God, that is kind of like speaking of God.

00:01:30.880 But I need you to pray for me, man.

00:01:34.800 Mm-hmm.

00:01:35.920 Can I tell you why?

00:01:37.320 I already know why.

00:01:38.560 I can see you sitting next to a box of pumpkin spice protein bars by first form.

00:01:43.400 Yeah.

00:01:43.720 And I think the prayer needs to be that you don't eat all of them at once.

00:01:47.380 Dude, how fucking good are those for real?

00:01:48.980 Oh, dude.

00:01:49.280 I ain't even trying to plug either.

00:01:50.580 They're amazing.

00:01:51.260 No, no, no.

00:01:51.780 They really are amazing.

00:01:54.660 You know, God is my witness, completely unbiased.

00:01:57.380 These protein bars are amazing.

00:01:59.080 And every time, like in the last six months, we've had some people stay at our house as guests.

00:02:04.540 And I have a box of protein bars and I just hand it to them.

00:02:07.540 And they don't necessarily even know my connection to first form.

00:02:10.800 And I'll hand it to them.

00:02:11.680 I said, do you ever eat protein bars?

00:02:13.620 Oh, yeah.

00:02:14.340 Have this one.

00:02:15.160 And the jaws just drop.

00:02:17.640 Yeah.

00:02:18.860 Yeah.

00:02:19.880 They're amazing.

00:02:20.820 Yeah.

00:02:21.220 Probably the best.

00:02:22.120 I mean, in my opinion, probably the best thing that first form has ever made.

00:02:25.460 Maybe.

00:02:26.080 Yeah.

00:02:26.240 I don't know.

00:02:26.560 Oh, we'll see.

00:02:27.440 But they're freaking good.

00:02:29.120 That's for sure.

00:02:29.700 Yeah, they are.

00:02:30.220 But back to my prayer request.

00:02:32.020 Let me ask you a question.

00:02:34.100 What do you think is crazier than having three little daughters under the age of six? 0.98

00:02:45.520 Having four?

00:02:46.520 Yeah.

00:02:49.880 You did not.

00:02:51.460 Dude.

00:02:51.960 Oh, fuck, man.

00:02:53.540 Wait, you didn't tell Andy?

00:02:54.980 Number four.

00:02:56.560 Holy shit.

00:02:57.460 Number four.

00:02:58.540 Bro.

00:02:59.020 Four freaking girls. 1.00

00:03:00.920 Now, you got to have another one so you guys can have like a basketball team.

00:03:04.280 Yeah, right.

00:03:05.420 You know what I'm saying?

00:03:06.160 Right.

00:03:06.480 And WNBA team? 0.98

00:03:07.740 Yeah.

00:03:08.300 Damn, dude.

00:03:08.840 What's up with you?

00:03:09.520 You know what I love about the WN?

00:03:10.660 You used to be at home putting the work in.

00:03:11.720 I don't know.

00:03:12.420 It must be the gene, the impaler gene.

00:03:14.720 No shit.

00:03:15.360 It produced nothing but women. 1.00

00:03:16.740 Dude.

00:03:18.060 You've been doing some impaling.

00:03:19.260 Yeah.

00:03:20.000 Yeah.

00:03:20.680 Yeah.

00:03:21.840 That's awesome, man.

00:03:22.780 Well, I explained to you why God wants me only to have women. 0.99

00:03:25.960 I've explained that to you before, right?

00:03:27.420 Why?

00:03:28.400 Well, because he was concerned about creating another baller.

00:03:32.640 No, no, no, no.

00:03:33.340 On my level.

00:03:34.300 No, no, no.

00:03:34.560 You know, to be mentored by me and to share my genetics.

00:03:37.540 You already know why God gives you four girls. 1.00

00:03:39.240 I'll tell you why.

00:03:40.880 Because he knows all that old school youth group pimping you used to do.

00:03:45.400 I know.

00:03:45.960 Yeah, dude.

00:03:46.600 And now you're going to have to be the defender of the other youth group pimps.

00:03:52.080 Yeah.

00:03:52.560 You know?

00:03:53.080 So when your girl's going to youth group, you're going to have to be the regulator.

00:03:56.160 That's true.

00:03:56.740 You know?

00:03:57.200 That's true.

00:03:58.060 Somebody's got to keep them safe in youth group.

00:03:59.640 I'll be able to clearly identify all the other guys that were able to get to first base.

00:04:03.540 That's right.

00:04:04.560 Oh, dude.

00:04:08.760 That's pretty cool, though.

00:04:09.240 No, it's crazy, man.

00:04:09.840 It's a little overwhelming.

00:04:11.320 So technically, tonight is the gender reveal party.

00:04:14.240 Oh, is it?

00:04:14.680 So everybody's, you know.

00:04:15.660 But this won't drop until tomorrow.

00:04:18.660 So this episode won't drop until tomorrow.

00:04:19.740 So you're just going to spoil it, but not spoil it?

00:04:22.200 Hopefully nothing happens and we-

00:04:25.080 What happens if it happens to be a boy now?

00:04:26.820 You get to come back and do like a retraction?

00:04:28.120 Well, actually, there's a possibility that it could be twins.

00:04:30.500 We don't know that for sure.

00:04:31.640 But it's in a little-

00:04:33.540 Basically, here's the story.

00:04:35.120 We got the envelope from the doctor.

00:04:37.120 Yeah.

00:04:37.400 And we took it to Party Central.

00:04:38.860 And we said, here, don't show us what it is, but fill up this box with like, if it's a girl, pink. 0.75

00:04:47.840 And, you know, if it's a guy, blue.

00:04:49.420 So, well, so, the way they did it, my wife could clearly see what was in the box.

00:04:56.520 Yeah.

00:04:56.780 So, yeah.

00:04:58.300 We know it's a girl.

00:05:00.520 So.

00:05:00.900 Oh, that's good, though.

00:05:02.220 Yeah.

00:05:02.500 No, I mean, it's-

00:05:03.680 If you're going to go in, dude, you just got to go all in.

00:05:05.520 Hey-

00:05:06.000 Like, at this point, I'd just be rooting for more girls. 0.97

00:05:08.060 Yeah.

00:05:08.560 I don't-

00:05:09.060 The truth is, it's really all I know, you know.

00:05:11.940 Four.

00:05:12.580 Yeah.

00:05:12.940 Holy shit, dude.

00:05:13.920 Yeah, it's a lot of girls. 1.00

00:05:15.840 And three of them are going to be in high school together.

00:05:18.320 Yeah.

00:05:18.700 I have a buddy, my best friend growing up, and he also had three girls, but his girls are

00:05:23.000 now older because he got married way before I did.

00:05:25.080 And I was asking him, I was saying, hey, my girls are kind of treat me like I'm the king 1.00

00:05:28.640 and I'm the hero.

00:05:29.760 I said, I'm not looking forward to that changing.

00:05:32.100 And he said, well, I wish I could tell you that it never changes.

00:05:35.700 But right now, he said, the hormones I'm dealing with, it's almost too much to bear.

00:05:40.840 He said, you'll either go to the bottle, or you'll go to the weights, or you'll go to

00:05:44.440 both.

00:05:46.300 Well, you're already hitting those weights, brother.

00:05:47.940 Well, I'm trying.

00:05:48.800 Yeah.

00:05:49.160 But, yeah.

00:05:50.340 So, yeah, you were alluding to, I don't know, what were you alluding to?

00:05:55.660 The topic of our conversation.

00:05:57.620 We were going to talk about, you know, because like, dude, one of the big things that we get

00:06:01.680 here with the show is, you know, we constantly talk about business.

00:06:06.260 You know, we're constantly talking about building a seven-figure, eight-figure, nine-figure,

00:06:09.700 potentially 10-figure company, which a lot of people are doing.

00:06:14.420 But we also get a lot of people who email in, and they're like, yo, Andy, or yo, Vaughn.

00:06:20.420 They never say, yo, Tyler.

00:06:22.400 But they'll say, yo, Andy, and yo, Vaughn.

00:06:25.200 And they'll be like, dude, I'm a plumber.

00:06:26.960 You know, I'm a fireman.

00:06:28.340 I'm the store manager at Best Buy.

00:06:30.640 I teach Sunday school.

00:06:32.660 You know, I work real hard at my job.

00:06:34.420 It's solid pay.

00:06:35.260 I love it.

00:06:37.240 But they struggle because they're going to come in, and they're going to say, dude, I'm

00:06:40.600 not a huge influencer.

00:06:42.840 I'm not going to make seven figures or eight figures a year.

00:06:48.020 You know, I don't see how some of this stuff is applicable to me.

00:06:52.600 And it makes them almost wonder, like, if they're doing something that isn't right.

00:06:58.040 You know what I mean?

00:06:58.780 Like, is their work worthwhile?

00:07:00.080 Yeah, dude, and that's a tough thing to hear for people, I think.

00:07:04.320 It is for me, at least.

00:07:06.020 I don't know how some of these other dudes do it.

00:07:07.700 I'm sure they get messages like that, too.

00:07:09.580 But, you know.

00:07:12.000 I love that we're talking about this, because I know how much you value blue-collar workers.

00:07:15.680 Yeah.

00:07:16.200 And I know how much you just value work in general.

00:07:18.400 Dude, and that's what I'm saying, you know.

00:07:20.400 And I think people get hung up in, like, I mean, let's face it, man.

00:07:25.100 We live in a society that's just a lot of flesh.

00:07:28.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:07:28.720 Man, everybody's showing what they got.

00:07:33.020 Everybody's showing, you know, where they live and the cars they drive.

00:07:37.560 And, dude, I get that, man.

00:07:38.740 I'm proud of where I live, and I'm proud of the cars I drive, and I'm proud of all that shit, and I show it.

00:07:43.240 And it makes me feel, like, kind of shitty sometimes that people sort of take that as, like, it's making them feel like I can't be that.

00:07:51.800 Yeah.

00:07:52.060 And that really has nothing to do with their worth on this planet.

00:07:55.520 Right.

00:07:55.820 You know what I mean?

00:07:56.360 And it doesn't matter how many times you say this, Andy, but you always say that success is the pursuit of your own full potential.

00:08:03.820 And if that means that what you've decided makes you happy in life, and if your potential means that you are only going to make $45,000 a year as a teacher or whatever, that's fine.

00:08:15.200 Yeah.

00:08:15.400 Nowhere, to the best of my knowledge, nowhere in the last five years have we ever said anybody's worth is determined by their net worth.

00:08:22.580 No.

00:08:23.140 Ever.

00:08:23.540 And that's kind of, like, the message that I see being portrayed across the internet, right?

00:08:30.000 Make millions of dollars, make this, make that.

00:08:32.460 And I understand where they're coming from because, dude, that shit's important, all right?

00:08:37.340 Like, I take care of a lot of fucking people, dude.

00:08:39.780 I provide a lot of people with careers that wouldn't have them otherwise.

00:08:43.320 Shit's important.

00:08:44.180 It is.

00:08:44.540 It is.

00:08:44.960 And it is one barometer to how much effort you're putting in.

00:08:48.220 Yes, absolutely.

00:08:49.580 But what I, I guess my issue is, is like, you know, there's a ton of value to these other, like, when these people write in and they basically, you know, it's almost like they're, I don't know, like, venting or, I don't know what you would call it, like.

00:09:09.140 It's almost like they're confessing.

00:09:10.680 Yeah.

00:09:11.080 Yeah.

00:09:11.340 But, like, they didn't make the right choice.

00:09:13.320 Like, I'm sorry.

00:09:13.840 Yeah.

00:09:14.260 I screwed up.

00:09:14.940 Like, they'll say shit to me, like, bro, I'm only a firefighter.

00:09:18.260 I'm not like you.

00:09:19.140 Motherfucker, you do awesome shit all the time.

00:09:22.260 Right.

00:09:22.400 You're extremely valuable.

00:09:23.940 Dude, it really bothers me when people approach me like that, you know?

00:09:27.100 You know, like, I'm running this business.

00:09:28.840 I'm nothing like you.

00:09:29.560 Motherfucker, I used to be just like you.

00:09:31.440 I was lower than you.

00:09:33.260 Yeah.

00:09:33.560 You know?

00:09:34.000 So, like, I wish people who listen to this show would start to really understand that there's no judgment here.

00:09:41.460 You know what I mean?

00:09:41.980 But the goal here is to get you to a point where you're being productive in a way inside your world that produces the best amount of impact.

00:09:50.960 And when you do that in your world, the income is going to follow.

00:09:55.000 You're going to have opportunities.

00:09:57.100 I can't even tell you how many people I've had work for me who other people found, like, you know, like I've had guys that work in my retail store, right?

00:10:07.140 They're making, you know, 12, 13 bucks an hour, right?

00:10:10.880 They're working and working and working and they're doing this great job.

00:10:14.480 They're kicking ass.

00:10:15.860 And somebody comes along and is like, fuck, dude, I really like you.

00:10:20.440 Like, dude, one of my best guys ever that I've ever had was got to a point where he was basically lured away from our company and because of how good of a job he did inside our company.

00:10:34.040 Yeah.

00:10:34.320 And you know what?

00:10:35.520 I'm proud of him.

00:10:36.980 You know what I mean?

00:10:37.700 That's cool.

00:10:38.340 And I think people lose sight of that.

00:10:41.400 You know, when you really dedicate what you can actually give to what you're actually doing, there's so many crazy opportunities that present themselves just because you're being a valuable human.

00:10:55.540 Right.

00:10:55.640 And that's something that people just, because it can't be, like, scored, right?

00:11:00.060 There's no, like, score to that.

00:11:02.200 People have a hard time seeing that.

00:11:04.200 But I'm going to tell you, man, on the flip side of that, you know how many people I've hired from random places?

00:11:09.560 I met them and I liked them.

00:11:11.380 You know what I'm saying?

00:11:12.140 Fuck.

00:11:12.360 Yeah.

00:11:12.680 There's two of them sitting at this table.

00:11:14.140 Right.

00:11:14.820 There's two of them sitting right here in front of me.

00:11:16.540 Yeah, no, absolutely.

00:11:17.420 I met both of these dudes, Tyler and Vaughn, in situations that were unrelated to my business that I happened to actually just like them as people.

00:11:27.560 Yeah.

00:11:27.780 And eventually it created careers, right?

00:11:30.360 Yeah.

00:11:30.740 Like, dude, if you wouldn't have been giving your all with the Nines magazine when you interviewed me for that article, we wouldn't even be doing this.

00:11:38.720 Yeah.

00:11:39.240 But we also talked about Oscar for the first 30 minutes of you and me meeting.

00:11:43.920 Like, literally, we talked about dogs.

00:11:45.200 We talked about Oscar and Otis and Charlie and Rudy.

00:11:47.860 Yeah.

00:11:48.200 Yeah.

00:11:48.600 And dude, that's, but that's, but what that is, bro, is that's you caring about what you're trying to, because let's be real.

00:11:56.040 You're a great dude and you care a lot about people, but you were also trying to create the best product for your employer.

00:12:02.380 You know, you're trying to dig deep.

00:12:04.400 What makes this dude tick?

00:12:06.280 What's he really care about?

00:12:07.740 Right.

00:12:07.840 You know, and you're doing, and a great relationship spawned from that created an amazing career.

00:12:13.620 Yeah.

00:12:13.920 Right?

00:12:14.160 And dude, tons of opportunity for me, too.

00:12:16.480 Yeah.

00:12:16.800 You know, so like, people just don't grasp how that opportunity aspect really works, you know?

00:12:24.040 So like, right now, and dude, you know what?

00:12:27.020 I'm even getting ahead of myself, because dude, some dudes that are plumbers fucking love plumbing. 1.00

00:12:32.040 Yeah.

00:12:33.160 You know what I'm saying?

00:12:34.280 Right.

00:12:34.500 Like, dude, I know guys who are actual plumbers who love fucking plumbing, and they talk about

00:12:40.240 plumbing, and they've grown plumbing companies, and now they're plumbing fucking tycoons.

00:12:45.920 You know what I'm saying?

00:12:47.120 Dude, there are people in the Arate syndicate who make millions of dollars as plumbers. 0.77

00:12:54.220 Right.

00:12:54.440 Like, literally, they run plumbing companies.

00:12:56.700 I know.

00:12:56.940 I was talking to, I could be getting this wrong.

00:13:00.280 I think it's Andy Aranda is one of the plumbers in the group, or he owns a plumbing company.

00:13:04.540 Andy, I'm sorry if I'm totally misrepresenting you, but I'm pretty sure he is.

00:13:07.240 But we were talking about the fact that there are so many people, again, it goes back to

00:13:12.960 not to, again, rip on the millennials or anything, but there are so many people that if it's not

00:13:16.760 this, like, super glamorous job, they don't want to do it.

00:13:19.300 Right.

00:13:19.740 And yet, you forget that, like, plumbers pretty much are never out of business.

00:13:23.940 Not only that, bro.

00:13:24.940 They are so in demand.

00:13:26.200 There's-

00:13:26.740 And it's interesting.

00:13:27.920 That's right.

00:13:28.240 The stuff that they're doing these days, it's cool.

00:13:31.000 And, dude, it's, I feel like, I feel like there's two people that we're talking about here.

00:13:37.940 We're talking about, like, the people, we're talking to two audiences, really.

00:13:42.000 Right.

00:13:42.140 We're talking to the audiences who are maybe, like, I would say, 30 or older, and they've

00:13:47.840 kind of made some decisions about their life, and maybe they're not real happy with those

00:13:52.400 decisions, and they think, man, I'm too old to go back and start and do this shit. 0.58

00:13:57.600 First of all, that's not true.

00:13:59.260 Right.

00:13:59.360 Okay?

00:13:59.560 If you don't like where you are, you've got to change it, man.

00:14:02.660 Yeah.

00:14:02.980 You have to change it.

00:14:06.000 You spend too much time in your career and too much time doing whatever it is you do

00:14:11.280 to try to make money to not really love it.

00:14:14.460 Right.

00:14:14.860 You know?

00:14:15.180 And I'm not saying you've got to fucking love it every day, because I'll tell you right

00:14:18.180 now, there are plenty of days that I fucking hate what I do. 0.83

00:14:22.200 There's more days that I love what I do.

00:14:24.160 And you know what makes me love what I do?

00:14:25.520 It's not the money or anything like that.

00:14:27.400 It's coming in here, goofing off with the dudes and the girls that work in here, teasing

00:14:32.740 everybody.

00:14:33.740 You know what I'm saying?

00:14:34.420 Right.

00:14:34.580 Getting everybody, getting everybody, they probably all make fun of me when I walk away.

00:14:37.940 I don't give a fuck.

00:14:38.960 You know what I'm saying?

00:14:39.580 Like, it's fun.

00:14:40.480 Right.

00:14:40.700 And I think people are really, we're getting into a real dangerous point in society where

00:14:51.780 people think, like, I'm the most anti-guy when people say, oh, money won't make you happy.

00:14:59.160 Like, that's fucking bullshit.

00:15:00.620 It makes you pretty fucking happy.

00:15:01.800 You could do a lot of cool shit.

00:15:03.380 It's not the shit you think.

00:15:04.680 A lot of people think, oh, it's buying a fucking nice car or a nice house.

00:15:08.280 That's not what I'm talking about.

00:15:09.860 Like, dude, I'm talking about being able to grow a company where you see people who started

00:15:13.660 out at minimum wage that are now making six figures, buying homes, having, that shit is

00:15:19.500 awesome.

00:15:20.640 Can't do that without money.

00:15:21.780 Yeah.

00:15:22.100 Okay.

00:15:22.960 Can't be a big, can't be a big shot charity guy without money.

00:15:26.980 You know what I mean?

00:15:27.480 And I'm not saying big shot charity is a bad thing, dude.

00:15:30.560 It's fuck, dude, it is a good, you know what?

00:15:33.200 I don't care what anybody says.

00:15:34.320 When people know that you gave fucking millions of dollars to charity and they know that's

00:15:38.140 the kind of person you are, it feels good.

00:15:40.860 Yeah.

00:15:41.180 It's just the reality.

00:15:42.100 And I know that's taboo and people are like, oh, you should never tell.

00:15:45.040 It feels great.

00:15:45.440 Well, no, if, if, if, if somebody who's wealthy never tells where they give their money to

00:15:49.240 or if they give money, people assume they don't.

00:15:51.300 So then they're like, fuck you, dude, you just drive fucking nice car.

00:15:54.460 You know how much you could fucking do with, with that car money, blah, blah, blah.

00:15:57.720 Like, dude, you know, so.

00:15:59.320 Dude, I worked in a, what's called advancement for a couple of years.

00:16:02.080 It's like working for a college where you, you fundraise and you work with a bunch of

00:16:06.280 very wealthy people.

00:16:07.460 And very often those people do not want people to know how much they've given because they

00:16:12.820 are humble people.

00:16:13.840 They are people that, that don't want all the credit.

00:16:16.520 But what we consistently used to tell them is you have to, because it inspires other people

00:16:21.740 to do the same thing.

00:16:22.660 That's right.

00:16:23.240 Yes.

00:16:23.480 So, and in many cases it's like, well, that dude did it.

00:16:26.900 I'm going to one up him, you know, but that's fine.

00:16:29.400 That's fundraising.

00:16:30.320 Yeah.

00:16:30.500 That's fun.

00:16:30.920 That's how you do it.

00:16:31.780 That's how you do it.

00:16:32.380 Like, dude, I want people to give money to my high school where I went because it's

00:16:35.920 privately funded.

00:16:36.800 Yeah.

00:16:37.140 Right.

00:16:38.260 So what do I do?

00:16:40.620 They say, Hey, we need to let people know.

00:16:43.340 I said, well, fucking put us in your magazine and put us in their magazine.

00:16:46.820 And then what happened?

00:16:48.120 Funds went way up.

00:16:49.100 Right.

00:16:49.340 Because everybody didn't want to have Chris and Andy be the only guys doing it.

00:16:52.680 Right.

00:16:53.080 You know, and that's cool.

00:16:54.200 Exactly.

00:16:54.740 So you're saying that the two different people you're speaking to, you were talking about.

00:16:58.600 Yeah.

00:16:58.640 Yeah.

00:16:58.760 So, so we're talking about, uh, uh, thank you for that.

00:17:01.720 Cause I was getting way off.

00:17:03.380 Um, you know, and then we're talking to young people who are, you know, 19 years old or 17

00:17:09.200 years old or 20 years old.

00:17:10.880 And they're like, fuck dude, for me to be able to be wealthy, I got to go start a social

00:17:16.420 media ad agency and I got to buy all these courses and I got to do this and I got to do

00:17:20.500 that.

00:17:20.840 And they think that anything outside of that is not going to be a career that they're going

00:17:26.140 to find happiness, fulfillment and money.

00:17:29.840 Yeah.

00:17:30.320 Right.

00:17:30.460 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:31.040 Yeah, absolutely.

00:17:31.940 Um, there's money in anything if you're fucking the best at it.

00:17:35.040 Right.

00:17:35.280 That's the point.

00:17:36.560 Like say that again, cause I don't think people understand.

00:17:38.380 There is money in every single fucking thing that you can do if you're the best at it.

00:17:42.520 Absolutely.

00:17:43.000 That's the thing.

00:17:43.880 And people just don't think like that.

00:17:46.920 You know what I mean?

00:17:48.300 And, and so I think it's important to talk about some of the, the, I don't know, like

00:17:54.700 core questions that people should be thinking about in terms of what they're doing with

00:18:02.960 themselves and how, how to take, let's say, let's say we are dealing with someone who

00:18:08.720 is, you know, I work real hard at my job and it's solid pay and I like it and I'm not this,

00:18:14.860 you know, like what questions should these people be asking themselves to really.

00:18:18.980 Determine whether, determine whether their work really is worthwhile.

00:18:21.820 That's right.

00:18:22.360 Yeah.

00:18:22.680 Right.

00:18:23.400 So I think that's, I don't know.

00:18:25.080 I think that's a good thing to talk about for people.

00:18:27.380 I don't know what you think.

00:18:28.380 I agree.

00:18:28.880 I agree.

00:18:30.080 Can I tell a story?

00:18:31.500 Yeah.

00:18:32.200 Um, so when I was a lot younger, so you remember like, so next,

00:18:38.720 next year, I'm sorry, two months from now, November.

00:18:41.940 So about four years ago in November, my dad died.

00:18:45.260 And, uh, when he was alive, like years before he passed, I, he was coming to visit me in

00:18:51.260 Manhattan, Kansas.

00:18:51.880 And I was, uh, I was, I was just out of graduate school.

00:18:55.100 So I wasn't like a college student, but I was still pretty young in my mentality.

00:18:59.400 And we went to a McDonald's and there was this guy there behind the, behind the counter.

00:19:04.940 And it was an older guy at the time.

00:19:06.320 I was probably mid to late forties and he looked tired, but like, man, he was hustling

00:19:12.020 a lot.

00:19:13.340 And, uh, and I don't know what, but something just like hit me and rubbed me wrong.

00:19:20.340 And, uh, I must've looked pretty disturbed.

00:19:22.600 And my dad looked at me and he's like, what's your problem?

00:19:25.340 And I go, I just, I just feel sorry for that guy.

00:19:28.500 And he goes, what are you talking about?

00:19:30.000 I said, well, I feel sorry for that guy.

00:19:32.620 He's like mid forties and he's working at McDonald's.

00:19:36.120 And I figured my dad, who was probably mid forties at the time, maybe, uh, he's probably

00:19:40.480 older than that.

00:19:41.580 I figured he was going to say, oh yeah, you're right.

00:19:44.500 He didn't.

00:19:45.280 He's like, what, what are you talking about?

00:19:49.700 He said, the man has a job.

00:19:52.980 He's working hard.

00:19:54.240 And on top of that, the reality is he's probably actually paid pretty well because McDonald's

00:19:58.900 takes care of their people.

00:20:00.160 He's like, this is the problem, Vaughn, is that there's a whole generation of people who

00:20:04.160 think that, you know, your worth is based on if you have a glamorous job or not.

00:20:08.900 He said the fact that he is literally working hard at McDonald's and being a contributing

00:20:13.420 member of society and supporting his family.

00:20:16.260 That's a fucking win.

00:20:16.880 That is a win.

00:20:17.860 Yeah.

00:20:18.140 And I was like, don't, you know, you remember the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where they did

00:20:24.220 something stupid and they turned into a donkey for a second?

00:20:26.620 Yeah.

00:20:26.940 That's how I felt, you know?

00:20:28.540 But I mean, I don't know what you think about that, but see, that's, to me, that's

00:20:31.360 No, I agree with your dad.

00:20:32.380 That's been like a long time lesson that I learned from my dad is it's not the job.

00:20:36.320 It's not.

00:20:36.900 It's not.

00:20:37.260 It's not, man.

00:20:38.160 You know, and it's a very difficult, touchy situation for me because we run an entrepreneurship

00:20:46.240 success brand and success and entrepreneurship is usually scored by money.

00:20:52.740 Right.

00:20:52.920 Right.

00:20:53.140 So I want to really talk about these things with people, you know, um, these, these people

00:21:00.160 who might not be sure how this is going to pan out and if they should still be doing it.

00:21:04.280 You know, um, I think the first thing that people have to understand is what you just

00:21:09.460 said, man.

00:21:10.160 Some jobs are just going to be more glamorous than others.

00:21:12.880 It doesn't mean that they are more worthwhile.

00:21:15.100 You know, if your job provides value to the world, it's worthwhile no matter what.

00:21:21.220 And, you know, people don't think about it like that.

00:21:25.200 They don't realize like, Hey, you could be a mechanic.

00:21:28.560 And if you work your ass off and you're a great mechanic, you are morally much better than

00:21:33.820 a guy who's a missionary who doesn't do shit. 0.91

00:21:37.140 Right.

00:21:37.460 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:38.480 Like people don't really understand that concept.

00:21:40.800 So I would rather personally, I'd rather work with the motherfucker who makes cheeseburgers 0.70

00:21:46.020 and McDonald's, but does them perfect.

00:21:48.900 Then the guy who's worked in my industry for 20 years and hasn't been able to do shit because

00:21:54.180 he's bounced from one to the next one, next one.

00:21:56.340 That's the truth.

00:21:57.460 Right.

00:21:57.720 So, dude, people ask here all the time, how do we find these people?

00:22:02.000 Fuck, man.

00:22:02.520 We find them all over the place.

00:22:04.200 You just got to open your eyes.

00:22:05.800 You know what I'm saying?

00:22:06.500 Right.

00:22:06.780 When you go to, like when I go to dinner, I go to, and I got a waiter that is just unbelievably

00:22:12.880 good at what they do.

00:22:15.060 I almost always ask them.

00:22:16.840 I'm like, Hey man, uh, is this like your full-time gig or is this your part-time gig?

00:22:22.040 What's your deal?

00:22:22.580 And I'll try to find out their deal.

00:22:24.600 And, and then I'll be like, well, Hey, look, man, you killed it tonight.

00:22:28.740 Like killed it because regardless, I want them to know they did a good job.

00:22:32.380 And I say, if you're ever interested in moving, you know, and career advancement, we promote

00:22:37.120 from within, you always got to start out here.

00:22:39.500 Everybody starts at the same spot.

00:22:40.860 But if you're interested, here's my shit.

00:22:43.200 I do that, dude, I do that every time I go somewhere and I get great service.

00:22:47.900 It's funny.

00:22:48.460 You completely rubbed off of me in that way.

00:22:50.080 Cause I don't know if, if Emily or you use the, uh, all the Instacart where they actually,

00:22:54.400 uh, that's Emily.

00:22:55.280 Yeah.

00:22:55.640 They, they deliver all these delivers right to your door and they, you know, different

00:22:58.960 people will do it.

00:22:59.760 You know, it's kind of like an Uber thing.

00:23:01.020 Well, we had this kid the other day that was like unbelievable in his organization.

00:23:06.860 He even had a little, uh, handout printed saying, Hey, I want to always do a really good

00:23:10.880 job.

00:23:11.440 Please let me know.

00:23:12.480 Here's how you contact me.

00:23:13.560 Yada, yada, yada.

00:23:14.300 That's what I'm talking about.

00:23:14.960 I literally said to him, dude, have you ever heard of first form?

00:23:17.780 Yeah.

00:23:18.020 Cause you need to call first form and tell him that I sent you and, and, and literally

00:23:22.480 talk to Logan or whoever they talk to and sign up.

00:23:25.280 But that's when you encounter somebody like that, especially in today's day and age, people

00:23:30.540 don't realize that people like me are looking for people like that.

00:23:34.320 Right.

00:23:34.580 Like I am actively, no matter where I go, I am looking at how you do things.

00:23:40.360 I do.

00:23:41.200 You don't even have to be my company.

00:23:42.660 I am watching.

00:23:43.760 And like, you know what, sometimes I'll go into my friend's restaurants or my friend's

00:23:46.960 place and I'll say, Hey bro, like I did this to the gym.

00:23:50.180 There's a girl, there's a new girl at the gym.

00:23:52.220 Uh, I don't know, like six months ago that was like just working her ass off to keep the 1.00

00:23:57.700 gym clean.

00:23:58.200 I went and this whole Pat, my buddy who runs a gym to say, Hey Pat, that chick works hard, 1.00

00:24:03.400 dude.

00:24:03.940 Like hard.

00:24:05.040 And he's like, yeah, man, we're going to give her a rate.

00:24:07.080 Like he was already aware, but like people, people that are aware of the shit, they go

00:24:12.000 out of their way to bring value to those people.

00:24:14.020 Yeah.

00:24:14.440 You know what I'm saying?

00:24:15.100 Absolutely.

00:24:15.580 And I'm talking me bring value to them by a tell them they got a good, they did a good

00:24:19.940 job and be considering them for another opportunity.

00:24:23.820 It doesn't always work, but you know, you never know who's watching or who's paying attention

00:24:28.900 to how you do it.

00:24:30.420 So you have to understand it's not the job that you do.

00:24:34.300 It's how you do the job that you do.

00:24:37.100 Right.

00:24:37.580 You know what I'm saying?

00:24:38.380 And that's something that I hope everybody sticks.

00:24:41.340 Let's stick with them because we talk about this and everybody likes to say, Oh, how you

00:24:45.840 do one thing is how you do everything.

00:24:47.700 Yeah.

00:24:47.860 That's an easy thing to fucking repeat.

00:24:49.820 We've all heard it 10 million times, but executing it in real life is a completely different

00:24:54.980 scenario.

00:24:55.640 It doesn't happen.

00:24:56.760 Right.

00:24:57.340 All these motherfuckers, like last night I made a post and I get 30, 40 people out of the

00:25:02.560 comments say, how you do one thing is how you do everything.

00:25:05.840 Yeah, bro.

00:25:06.760 We all heard that shit, but why aren't you fucking living it?

00:25:11.180 You know what I'm saying?

00:25:12.140 If you know it, why aren't you doing it?

00:25:13.980 Why'd you walk past that piece of trash on the floor?

00:25:16.840 Well, that wasn't my piece of trash.

00:25:18.300 Well, make it your piece of fucking trash because that's how you're going to make value in yourself.

00:25:24.220 People think it's so stupid.

00:25:26.080 Dude, I've had people sign up to Arte.

00:25:29.700 Fucking dude.

00:25:30.740 It's a fucking almost six figure investment to be an Arte syndicate.

00:25:34.960 I've had people apply to Arte because I took a fucking snap of me picking up trash in my

00:25:41.660 gym.

00:25:42.980 That's no bullshit.

00:25:44.800 Cole Hatter.

00:25:45.520 Ask him about it.

00:25:46.340 Yeah, no, no, no, no question.

00:25:49.480 And to your point, which you said earlier, that 19 year old kid who's doing the Instacart

00:25:54.620 for Aldi and the way that he put an effort into the into that, that makes his work far

00:26:01.060 more worthwhile than some C-suite executive who inherited his job, who pisses away that

00:26:07.000 opportunity because his daddy or whoever got him the job.

00:26:10.800 Bro, who do you think is more fulfilled?

00:26:12.860 Oh, easily the kid.

00:26:14.540 You see what I'm saying?

00:26:15.140 Easily.

00:26:15.480 Like that kid is putting everything he has into every day and every customer and every

00:26:20.120 opportunity and he might be making fucking 10 bucks an hour. 0.94

00:26:23.760 Who knows?

00:26:24.760 But I guarantee you when that kid goes to bed at night, he looks himself in the mirror

00:26:29.240 and he might have a twinge of frustration, but he knows he couldn't have done anything

00:26:32.680 more.

00:26:33.220 Yeah.

00:26:33.560 That C-suite motherfucker.

00:26:34.920 He goes to bed and he's like, fuck, I, you know, I'm getting paid, but I still can't figure

00:26:40.840 out why I feel depressed.

00:26:42.340 I still can't feel why.

00:26:43.720 Why do I, why do I not feel that excitement about my career?

00:26:46.980 Why am I not excited about my life?

00:26:48.940 Because you're not giving anything to it.

00:26:51.060 Right.

00:26:52.240 And you know it, no matter how much you say, dude, you know, when you've given what you're

00:26:57.120 supposed to give and you know, when you haven't.

00:26:59.500 And if you don't give what you're, dude, I don't have any motherfuckers coming and telling 0.85

00:27:03.780 me what to do on a daily basis.

00:27:05.340 I don't have a fucking boss.

00:27:07.400 I don't have someone that says, Hey Andy, you need to get your shit together today.

00:27:11.680 I got to do that shit for myself.

00:27:13.820 Right.

00:27:14.280 You know what I'm saying?

00:27:15.060 Absolutely.

00:27:15.480 Dude, I got to do this shit on my own, man.

00:27:17.740 And, and do I have to report to people?

00:27:20.560 Sure.

00:27:21.000 I got to report to the fucking millions of customers that we have.

00:27:24.960 That's a lot of pressure, you know?

00:27:26.960 But like, dude, these, when I go to bed at night, the reason I feel like a bad motherfucker

00:27:32.840 is because I know I did everything I fucking could.

00:27:35.340 You know, and dude, there's scenarios all the time that people don't realize that come

00:27:39.900 up that are just, they're shitty and you have to deal with them.

00:27:43.680 You're not going to always win those battles, but if you did everything that you can do the

00:27:47.400 right way from your heart, you can go to bed at night and feel peace.

00:27:50.980 You know, that's something people talk about a lot too, right?

00:27:53.780 The inner peace is the new success.

00:27:55.760 No motherfucker.

00:27:56.880 Success is fucking success.

00:27:59.320 Well, and how do you get inner peace?

00:28:01.100 By giving everything you have, which also produces success.

00:28:04.940 Right.

00:28:05.340 You know, there's so much bullshit on the internet right now, bro, that like, oh, happiness

00:28:10.480 is the new rich.

00:28:11.900 Inner peace is the new, like, like these things are not related.

00:28:15.620 They're fucking aligned perfectly.

00:28:17.680 You're just listening to fucking dumbasses that don't know shit, who repost shit that 1.00

00:28:23.100 they hear somewhere.

00:28:25.260 Happiness, fulfillment, peace, and success are actually perfectly aligned.

00:28:32.680 They're perfectly aligned and they all have to do with you, one, caring, and two, exercising

00:28:41.460 your potential out of your body on a day by day by day basis.

00:28:47.040 That's how you get happy.

00:28:49.760 That's how you become inner peace.

00:28:52.780 That's how you become fulfilled.

00:28:54.700 And people just aren't talking about it.

00:28:57.000 And what it is, is that so many people are justifying what they've got in life as what

00:29:05.920 they really wanted.

00:29:07.180 Right.

00:29:07.700 So they went out when they were a kid, they wanted to be a fucking astronaut.

00:29:12.080 They ended up being a janitor.

00:29:14.700 Nothing wrong with being a janitor.

00:29:16.380 They ended up being a janitor.

00:29:17.800 And now, instead of saying, oh, man, I really wish I would have done an astronaut because

00:29:24.800 that shit hurts.

00:29:26.120 They're saying, you know what?

00:29:28.460 This is the life I chose.

00:29:30.200 This is what I...

00:29:30.640 No, you didn't choose it.

00:29:32.040 It chose you by default because you didn't practice what the fuck you're supposed to practice.

00:29:36.580 So no matter how much you smile on the outside, you're still frowning on your heart.

00:29:42.220 Yep.

00:29:42.440 And that's a big deal that is going on right now in the fucking world.

00:29:47.720 It's harder to admit that you screwed up and made the wrong choice.

00:29:50.800 Instead, you just say, well, I don't really want to do that.

00:29:53.800 That sucks.

00:29:54.120 I meant to do that.

00:29:55.160 That's like tripping and falling.

00:29:56.060 All those people that care about money or success, they suck.

00:29:59.280 The reality is, if he's honest, he does too.

00:30:02.100 He just realizes that he failed.

00:30:03.640 Bro, those things align.

00:30:05.560 They're not mutually exclusive.

00:30:07.640 You know what I'm saying?

00:30:08.280 Yeah.

00:30:08.520 No, I hear you.

00:30:08.840 They align.

00:30:09.820 They go together.

00:30:10.480 And, like, success is not a bank account, man.

00:30:13.740 Success is doing the best that you fucking can.

00:30:16.980 And all of you listening right now can do better at what you do.

00:30:20.320 Every single person.

00:30:21.820 And the reason that you don't have fulfillment on a day-by-day basis and the reason it goes up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down is because you're not practicing putting out all your potential into the world on a daily basis.

00:30:36.120 Like we would talk about with, you know, being organized in your efforts.

00:30:41.700 You see what I'm saying?

00:30:42.380 Absolutely.

00:30:42.720 Side note, though, related to excellence and success.

00:30:46.320 And you were talking about, you know, picking up trash, the video of you picking up trash.

00:30:51.420 One of the coolest experiences of my life in the last couple of years is when we were at one of the RSA syndicate summits.

00:30:57.620 And, you know, you have the most recent one had about 130 people.

00:31:02.200 And, you know, 130 people sitting through a couple of seminars, drinking Coke, drinking coffee.

00:31:07.760 Waters.

00:31:08.260 Getting snacks.

00:31:08.780 Yeah.

00:31:09.300 There's going to be, you know, stuff laying around, right?

00:31:12.020 Not really.

00:31:12.760 Bro.

00:31:13.100 When we were done, we were all tasked with cleaning that up.

00:31:16.400 And I'm like, there's nothing really to clean up.

00:31:18.160 We had fucking 260 people at my house that night of graduation last year.

00:31:24.240 Yeah.

00:31:24.620 All together.

00:31:25.900 260 people inside your fucking house. 0.96

00:31:28.180 First of all, imagine that many people in your fucking house.

00:31:30.600 Yeah.

00:31:30.860 It's a shit ton.

00:31:31.760 Even with a big ass house.

00:31:33.180 Yeah.

00:31:33.580 Which is what I got.

00:31:35.080 Yeah.

00:31:35.400 Okay.

00:31:37.820 There was zero cleanup.

00:31:39.340 Right.

00:31:39.800 Fucking zero.

00:31:41.240 These motherfuckers, dude. 1.00

00:31:43.480 And they did it drunk, too.

00:31:44.680 They were wasted.

00:31:45.800 Everybody was fucking trash, dude.

00:31:48.160 I was going to say that, but.

00:31:49.140 Yeah.

00:31:49.460 We were doing fucking shots.

00:31:51.160 And, like, it was a good party.

00:31:53.860 Yeah.

00:31:54.180 Dude, there was not one fucking piece of trash in my house, dude.

00:31:59.500 And we did not have a crew to clean it up.

00:32:01.800 Yeah.

00:32:01.960 These people, it's just reflective of what successful people are like.

00:32:07.120 Yep.

00:32:07.460 You know what I'm saying?

00:32:08.220 Like, it's just, they, dude, they're humble.

00:32:11.380 They take care, and they get a bad rep in the world because it's easy to point at someone

00:32:15.560 and say, oh, fucking successful, motherfucker. 0.98

00:32:18.140 Fuck that guy.

00:32:19.240 Right.

00:32:19.880 Motherfucker, those are the people that make the world go fucking round.

00:32:22.760 Okay?

00:32:23.480 Dude, I was so fucking impressed by the fact that we had zero cleanup at my house.

00:32:28.840 Yeah.

00:32:29.220 Zero.

00:32:30.080 It was like, dude, and we got a great crew here at First Form, like a great crew.

00:32:36.340 But there's always some cleanup.

00:32:37.900 Yeah.

00:32:38.500 There was zero cleanup.

00:32:39.640 Yeah.

00:32:40.020 No, I remember that.

00:32:40.780 Yeah.

00:32:41.120 It was crazy.

00:32:41.740 It was awesome, man.

00:32:43.520 That's cool.

00:32:43.800 But anyway, I don't know what the fuck we were talking about.

00:32:46.320 Well, you were just finishing up.

00:32:47.020 Really back in, Vaughn.

00:32:48.080 Yeah.

00:32:48.380 I mean, just to your point that it's not the job you do that makes the work worthwhile.

00:32:56.100 It's how you do the job that makes it worthwhile.

00:32:58.620 Yeah, man.

00:32:59.240 And that's it.

00:33:00.520 Yeah.

00:33:00.620 You know?

00:33:01.400 It's the effort.

00:33:02.220 The person determines.

00:33:03.060 I think along with that, too, though, bro, like a very similar statement that we can

00:33:07.360 make is, it's not how much you make, but it's how much you could make.

00:33:11.200 Yeah.

00:33:11.520 You know what I'm saying?

00:33:12.140 Yeah.

00:33:12.280 That's something people think about, too.

00:33:14.000 You know, your salary doesn't determine your significance, but your profit, it should

00:33:19.640 be driven by your potential.

00:33:21.300 If you're sitting there with a whirl of potential to make all this profit on something that you're

00:33:26.460 doing, and you could do all these good things with this profit, and you're not doing it,

00:33:31.860 you're going to be sick on the inside.

00:33:34.080 You're going to be unfulfilled.

00:33:35.540 You're going to feel like you should be doing more, because you should be, right?

00:33:40.700 Yeah.

00:33:41.020 You have an obligation, man.

00:33:42.440 You have your kids.

00:33:43.240 You have your cousins.

00:33:44.060 You have your teachers.

00:33:45.020 You have your mom and dad.

00:33:46.140 You have people that look up to you that you don't even realize look up to you, okay?

00:33:49.900 And don't get me wrong.

00:33:50.820 I'm not saying if you're an incredibly talented person with the capacity to make loads of money,

00:33:55.820 you should switch from, you know, your low-paying job that you love to go selling commercial

00:34:01.340 real estate, but, you know, and I am saying, like, if you really, truly love your job, stick

00:34:09.880 with it.

00:34:10.700 Become better at it.

00:34:12.120 Evolve it.

00:34:13.160 Push the limits.

00:34:14.360 No one says that because you're this kind of janitor, you can't reinvent the fucking game

00:34:19.380 of being a janitor.

00:34:20.880 And you know what could happen if you reinvented the game of being a janitor and figured out a

00:34:24.780 way to make your company more profitable by the way you fucking clean shit and operate 0.97

00:34:29.500 and organize shit?

00:34:31.040 Whoa, now you're on to something.

00:34:32.900 Now you could take how you do it and you could sell it to all the other companies.

00:34:36.280 Guess what?

00:34:37.180 You think you're not going to still love doing that shit?

00:34:39.780 And you're, you know what I'm saying?

00:34:40.880 Absolutely.

00:34:41.280 Like, there's all kinds of different ways here, guys, that are just getting, like, completely

00:34:46.100 blown off the table by all these fast-talking, course-selling fucktards. 1.00

00:34:52.260 But that's really what I call it.

00:34:53.700 No, absolutely.

00:34:54.140 But dude, to that point, I was just having a conversation with a friend of mine, and he's

00:34:59.440 in a particular profession that's known for not getting paid very well.

00:35:03.480 And he was complaining to me that he wasn't getting paid very well.

00:35:05.960 And I was like, dude, listen, you are really good at what you do, okay?

00:35:12.060 He's a teacher.

00:35:12.960 Now, more than ever, teachers have the unlimited ability to make money, because you teach your

00:35:21.380 regular classes, and then you develop courses that are awesome, and you sell them online.

00:35:27.000 So I just, I'm over feeling bad for the teachers.

00:35:30.940 The opportunity's there, man.

00:35:31.880 The opportunities are so there.

00:35:33.200 You can go around, you can create a keynote, and go around and teach other teachers.

00:35:37.820 Like, if you're good at what you-

00:35:38.760 You know what the problem is with that?

00:35:39.980 What's that?

00:35:40.320 The problem is, is they feel like they need permission.

00:35:43.160 Probably to some extent.

00:35:43.980 So if you're listening right now, and you're one of these people who thinks that God, or

00:35:50.820 the teacher, fucking master, I don't know, the dean, whoever, is going to give you permission,

00:35:57.060 he ain't.

00:35:57.920 She ain't.

00:35:58.860 God isn't.

00:35:59.800 Guess who's got to give you permission?

00:36:01.600 You.

00:36:02.180 Yep.

00:36:02.880 There's no qualifying school for entrepreneurship.

00:36:06.000 You're either good, or you're not good.

00:36:07.740 You know how you get good?

00:36:08.860 By doing shit bad for a long time.

00:36:11.000 That's right.

00:36:11.760 You know?

00:36:12.500 And you just got to start thinking creatively.

00:36:14.860 Like, I think we're also living in a time where there's so many-

00:36:18.680 Now, I agree with you that serial entrepreneurship is not a good thing, generally speaking.

00:36:23.660 You got to stick with what you got.

00:36:25.680 But I do think that for people who make not a really exceptional-

00:36:30.860 Now, you're going to have people who fucking are going to be, like, emailing about that

00:36:33.880 statement.

00:36:34.420 Well-

00:36:34.820 I don't think that's-

00:36:35.800 You said serial entrepreneur.

00:36:37.540 Look at fucking Warren Buffett.

00:36:38.660 That's Warren Buffett.

00:36:40.340 That ain't Joe Blow U.

00:36:41.780 Right.

00:36:42.140 Okay?

00:36:43.000 That's Warren Buffett.

00:36:44.580 If you want to be a serial entrepreneur when you're 75 years old and worth fucking $100

00:36:48.960 billion, do it.

00:36:51.140 Right.

00:36:51.400 And as you and Ed have pointed out before in Arte, in most of those cases, the vast majority

00:36:57.620 of that person's income still comes from one thing.

00:36:59.980 That's right.

00:37:00.500 But no, my point is that in today's day and age with all the resources and the platforms,

00:37:05.060 if you have a job where it's a fairly lower income, there's all sorts of things you can

00:37:10.280 do to supplement your income.

00:37:12.020 There's all sorts of other ways of generating revenue if you're creative and you work hard.

00:37:15.960 But be that as it may, that's not the main point.

00:37:17.920 So you were saying, so point number one was it's not the job you do, it's how you do

00:37:22.300 the job.

00:37:23.380 Point number two, you said it's not how much you make, it's how much you could make.

00:37:27.140 Yeah.

00:37:27.600 Were you done with that?

00:37:28.960 I guess so.

00:37:29.620 I know you've told this story a lot, but give us a cliff note because it's such a powerful

00:37:35.280 story.

00:37:36.580 When you were killing it a couple years ago, but you were laying on the couch and watching

00:37:41.440 Pacific Rim and all that.

00:37:42.420 Yeah.

00:37:42.940 I mean, dude, I'm making-

00:37:43.460 You've got to tell that story again because we get new listeners every day.

00:37:47.460 Yeah.

00:37:47.600 So-

00:37:48.320 Well, I don't know.

00:37:49.260 It was 2014 probably.

00:37:51.020 Yeah.

00:37:51.360 Wasn't it?

00:37:51.940 Yeah.

00:37:52.260 Yeah.

00:37:52.940 And I got sick.

00:37:55.680 I had pneumonia.

00:37:56.960 That's what I had.

00:37:58.240 And I couldn't come to work for like three weeks.

00:38:01.800 And so I sat on the couch in my house and I was watching Pacific Rim.

00:38:07.500 And I liked that movie so much that I watched it about 47 fucking times.

00:38:13.260 And I still actually liked that movie.

00:38:15.360 I don't like the sequel, but I liked that one.

00:38:17.300 The original.

00:38:18.540 But, dude, I checked my, you know, I'm getting paid because I was at home for a long enough

00:38:25.140 time where I could see my pay coming through, right?

00:38:28.620 I'm making, dude, I was making the most money I was ever making.

00:38:30.700 Like, just crazy, crazy money.

00:38:32.660 And that was the first time in my life I was making crazy money.

00:38:35.380 You know what I mean?

00:38:36.060 Yeah.

00:38:36.580 My friend calls that drug dealer money.

00:38:38.440 Yeah.

00:38:38.680 Now I'd be pissed if I was making that money.

00:38:40.500 But I went, that was like my first taste of making money.

00:38:44.820 And, dude, I was making a lot.

00:38:47.280 And I remember sitting there thinking, like, damn, dude, this is pretty cool.

00:38:53.960 Like, I thought about it, like, at first.

00:38:55.280 I'm like, this is pretty cool.

00:38:56.100 I don't even go to work.

00:38:56.900 And my fucking bank account's going up.

00:38:58.200 I see it right here on my phone.

00:39:00.620 About, you know, a week into it, I'm like, man, I'm kind of bored.

00:39:06.400 By the third week, I'm like, this fucking sucks, dude.

00:39:09.500 Like, this sucks.

00:39:10.360 And I started to realize that it wasn't about what I was making.

00:39:15.540 It was about how much opportunity I was leaving on the table by not being functional.

00:39:19.720 You know what I'm saying?

00:39:20.360 So it woke me up to realize that success isn't like the money or the fucking job or the car or the girl or the house or any of that shit.

00:39:30.860 Success is the pursuit and fulfillment of one's own true potential.

00:39:36.440 And that's where I came up with that definition.

00:39:38.340 It was during that time.

00:39:39.660 It clicked with me that it wasn't like the things that I thought were going to make me happy.

00:39:43.540 And what's really cool about that story is that once I fucking twisted that around in my brain and realized it, then I realized that making money was actually pretty easy.

00:39:56.060 It was just executing on what I'm interested in and passionate about.

00:39:59.860 You see what I'm saying?

00:40:00.500 Yeah.

00:40:00.980 Absolutely.

00:40:01.260 Because I was fulfilled by doing those things.

00:40:03.120 So when I start, you know, like even this podcast, like I say all the time, I do this for free.

00:40:08.960 But the truth is, it's opened up so many different income opportunities for me.

00:40:13.580 I mean, dude, I've got a new business partner and at my let we're doing fucking, you know, we're building a couple different things together on a big scale.

00:40:22.080 You know, I've been able to go speak at some of the most amazing conferences ever put on.

00:40:28.200 I've spoken to some shitty ones too.

00:40:30.040 But, you know, I've met some awesome people and some awesome friends and some great entrepreneur friends.

00:40:36.100 I've become close with some people that I really used to look up to in terms of like untouchable for me.

00:40:41.480 And they're peers now.

00:40:42.340 They're peers.

00:40:43.160 Yeah.

00:40:43.520 You know, and that came from doing this for free because I felt good about doing it.

00:40:50.520 You see what I'm saying?

00:40:52.080 And that's, I never, we, dude, people don't believe this, but we never started this shit with an intent to sell anything.

00:40:59.820 Nope.

00:41:00.200 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:00.760 But it's, it's, and we don't sell anything on the, on the show.

00:41:03.720 Something we've always done.

00:41:04.860 We've never sold anything by level one bars.

00:41:07.280 But here's the thing.

00:41:09.840 What we have done.

00:41:11.460 Did you catch my little thing there?

00:41:12.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:13.600 I did.

00:41:14.120 So that's about the most selling I'll do on the show.

00:41:17.620 Otis and Charlie, but that's different.

00:41:18.780 Yeah, that's right.

00:41:19.160 Otis and Charlie.

00:41:19.680 But, but you know, uh.

00:41:23.420 Which, which the profit margins on that are like razor thin.

00:41:26.760 That's nothing.

00:41:27.140 So yeah.

00:41:27.680 It's like a free thing.

00:41:28.500 That's more of a charity thing that you might make a few bucks for, uh, well, I was going

00:41:33.300 to say coffee, but you don't drink coffee.

00:41:34.800 Nah.

00:41:35.220 Yeah.

00:41:35.420 I do when I'm on 75 hard.

00:41:36.960 Yeah.

00:41:37.200 I drink instead of beer.

00:41:38.340 Oh yeah.

00:41:38.760 Yeah.

00:41:39.140 Good.

00:41:39.300 But just like when I go out with my friends and like they're all drinking and I want to

00:41:43.060 hang out with them, I'll just drink coffee.

00:41:45.560 Yeah.

00:41:45.880 Like caffeine free coffee.

00:41:46.800 Yeah.

00:41:47.160 Cause you kind of drink at the same pace.

00:41:48.660 Yeah.

00:41:48.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:49.360 Yeah.

00:41:49.520 So you feel like, you could sit there for like two, three hours.

00:41:51.960 See, that's being creative.

00:41:52.820 Yeah.

00:41:52.980 You could sit there for like two or three hours without being bored.

00:41:55.280 Yeah.

00:41:55.420 You know?

00:41:55.820 Yeah.

00:41:55.960 For sure.

00:41:56.600 Um, but dude, uh, I don't know.

00:42:00.740 I just feel like, you know, when you start things for the right reasons and follow through

00:42:04.360 on them, good shit happens, man.

00:42:06.300 You know?

00:42:06.620 But I, I, you know, just, just to tease out a detail of that story you've told before

00:42:11.180 is I do remember that your thought process was like, you were looking at other guys and

00:42:16.400 going, well, I'm, I'm killing it compared to them.

00:42:19.700 And I think you, I remember you saying that you, you had this aha moment where you're

00:42:25.060 like, yeah, but success is not a comparison.

00:42:27.820 Like you are the measure of your own true success.

00:42:30.860 You can't, cause I think you were talking about it.

00:42:32.900 Dude, that's why I tell people, bro, when they say, Hey man, congrats on all the success.

00:42:36.640 I always tell them, you guys know what I say, Tyler, what do I tell them?

00:42:39.760 A fucking the 10 years you've been around me.

00:42:42.520 Do I ever say, Hey, I don't feel successful.

00:42:44.320 I'm not successful, dude.

00:42:47.620 I'm, I'm making, I've made a lot of money.

00:42:49.700 I'm not successful.

00:42:51.440 Right.

00:42:51.880 I'll be successful when I tapped into my real potential, which I haven't even fucking started

00:42:56.660 into yet.

00:42:57.660 You mean when you discover inner peace?

00:42:59.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:43:00.620 Yeah.

00:43:00.900 But do you know, you know, you're a great speaker and I think you'll understand this, but I don't

00:43:09.720 speak as much as I used to, but you know, when I was a pastor, I would come down from the

00:43:15.040 pulpit and just be like, that sucked.

00:43:18.560 It was terrible.

00:43:19.500 Oh yeah.

00:43:19.960 And that's not, I know that's not how people would respond.

00:43:23.460 No.

00:43:23.900 And they, they could never wrap their head around why I was so depressed.

00:43:27.300 And I would literally, they would say like, how'd it go?

00:43:29.500 And I'd say, I literally feel like I threw feces from the pulpit cause I, I felt like that

00:43:33.720 sucked so bad.

00:43:34.640 And they couldn't wrap their head around it cause they'd been like, no, it was awesome.

00:43:38.340 No, it sucked because I knew what I was capable of and I fell so short.

00:43:43.040 I feel like that every time I speak, it doesn't matter how good I do.

00:43:49.060 Right.

00:43:49.180 It doesn't matter if I burnt the motherfucker down when I come down and I'm like, fuck,

00:43:54.160 I should have said it this way.

00:43:55.400 I should have done it this way.

00:43:56.580 You know?

00:43:57.120 And you start like, that's, that's champion mentality, bro.

00:44:02.580 Like, that's what people do that are high achievers.

00:44:04.840 They're going to coach themselves.

00:44:06.300 Like I said a minute ago, I don't have fucking a boss to tell me I sucked.

00:44:09.760 Right.

00:44:09.940 I got to tell me I sucked.

00:44:11.200 Right.

00:44:11.600 You know what I'm saying?

00:44:12.360 Which I do a lot.

00:44:13.880 And that's what people don't understand.

00:44:15.500 But, um, you know, I think something too to mention in all this stuff is the platform

00:44:26.220 thing, right?

00:44:27.180 Like, I think a lot of people think that they can't impact people.

00:44:30.180 I know this is true because I talked to a lot of people at first form who do a really

00:44:33.980 good job, but they don't feel like they're really killing it because they don't have a,

00:44:37.960 they have fucking 200 social media followers.

00:44:40.360 You know what I'm saying?

00:44:40.960 I don't have the platform.

00:44:42.020 I don't have, I can't affect blah, blah, blah.

00:44:44.700 You know, and I think it's important to mention this too, that, that if you're talking about

00:44:48.420 impact, man, um, you have to understand that it's not the number of people that you impact

00:44:54.300 in the world.

00:44:54.840 It's the percentage of people that you impact in your world.

00:45:00.240 Okay.

00:45:00.680 And that's something that's people just completely miss.

00:45:04.560 You know, they're trying to talk like, well, fuck dude, Tony Robbins.

00:45:08.780 Look, he sold out the Staples center or Gary Vee.

00:45:11.860 He's got 7 million followers.

00:45:14.060 I can't make an impact like that.

00:45:16.420 Bullshit.

00:45:16.920 You can make a better impact because when you have a huge fucking audience, you don't have

00:45:22.240 the time to do that one-on-one shit that really impacts people. 0.57

00:45:25.400 You know what I mean?

00:45:26.080 So now you're actually at an advantage to someone who, you know, has a big audience and the fact

00:45:32.420 that you could spend real time with real people and make a real difference.

00:45:36.060 My favorite thing that I miss doing that I love to do was working the counter at a retail

00:45:41.100 store.

00:45:41.760 I love it.

00:45:42.660 It's my favorite job.

00:45:43.700 It's, I say it all the time and I say it to this day in all of our companies, the number

00:45:49.140 one best job that we have here, it doesn't make the most money. 0.94

00:45:53.580 You can make a lot of money doing it.

00:45:56.380 The number one job we have in this, in our companies, all of them is working the counter

00:46:02.020 at a supplement superstore retail store because you get to talk to people.

00:46:06.380 You get to impact people one-on-one there.

00:46:09.220 They don't know who the fuck you are.

00:46:10.540 Really?

00:46:10.980 They're not like, it's not like Instagram where they get a like or a heart or a comment

00:46:14.920 or this, that dude, you're connecting with someone and most of you guys right now have

00:46:19.880 that right in front of your face and you take it as if it's not valuable and I'm telling

00:46:24.420 you one day you are going to do what you're wanting to do and you're going to build this

00:46:31.140 business and you're going to be in an office and you're going to do what I have to do,

00:46:34.720 which is manage a bunch of other parts that go together to create a ecosystem and you're

00:46:42.080 going to miss that shit because that's the powerful shit, man.

00:46:45.580 That's the stuff that really matters, that really makes you feel good and every single

00:46:49.920 person listening right now has the opportunity to do that.

00:46:55.100 Tell me right now that if you go out and have meaningful conversations about your company,

00:47:00.580 your product or whatever it is that you do with three or four people a day, I want you

00:47:05.760 to think about that versus you doing what you do mindlessly and not talking to anybody.

00:47:11.840 You're going to pick the day that you had those conversations a million to one over the

00:47:16.380 ones that you didn't and dude, that's something I really miss about my business.

00:47:21.140 Yeah, and that's where you learned all your stuff, all your skills and everything.

00:47:25.100 Oh dude, no question.

00:47:26.760 People ask all the time, what's the best thing I could do?

00:47:28.660 Fuck dude, get a retail job with a company that cares about people.

00:47:32.000 Yeah, but you know Andy, it goes back to something we've talked about in previous podcasts is that

00:47:35.700 today in our day and age, we really do confuse being famous with being impactful.

00:47:42.960 Like just because people know your name does not mean that you're going to leave a legacy

00:47:46.520 of any real value that's going to extend beyond your lifetime, you know?

00:47:51.480 Right.

00:47:51.800 And that's why you see all these famous motherfuckers trying to write these bullshit books later 1.00

00:47:56.640 on.

00:47:56.960 Like after the shit's happened and after their buzz is gone and after the attention's 0.68

00:48:01.940 gone, then they're writing some bullshit biography about their life.

00:48:05.140 No one fucking cares anymore, bro.

00:48:06.400 You missed your shot.

00:48:07.300 Yeah.

00:48:07.680 Missed your shot.

00:48:08.580 Absolutely.

00:48:09.000 And now you're trying to write a book so you could be relevant.

00:48:11.520 Yep.

00:48:11.720 And so you could be impactful because you know that you sold your fucking soul for your 15 0.86

00:48:17.080 fucking minutes, which might be 15 years. 0.88

00:48:19.200 It doesn't matter.

00:48:20.080 It doesn't matter how much money you make.

00:48:21.500 It doesn't matter who you are.

00:48:22.780 It doesn't matter what you do.

00:48:23.960 Your time being in the light is going to fucking end.

00:48:27.840 And when it ends, then what?

00:48:30.980 Yep.

00:48:31.560 Right?

00:48:32.200 Yep.

00:48:32.440 You're either going to have the time that the time you were in your light is either going

00:48:36.120 to last forever because you made it, you did it the right way.

00:48:39.700 You connected with people, you help people, you help people, you just

00:48:41.700 change people, you inspire people, you were a positive influence of people, or the life

00:48:47.220 shit's going to go out and your memory is going to go out with it.

00:48:51.400 Yep.

00:48:51.980 And those are the two options.

00:48:53.200 And if all you're living for is fame and fortune instead of really impacting people,

00:48:57.920 all I can say to you is, how dare you?

00:49:01.240 Oh, fuck, dude.

00:49:02.300 Don't even get me started on that shit.

00:49:04.460 A couple people got really pissed at me about that.

00:49:07.380 And they were like, duh, you said, the fact that you said that girl was an actress is

00:49:11.100 fucking crazy.

00:49:12.080 Well, listen, if she isn't, she should be.

00:49:14.620 She may not be an actress by profession, but she is an actress by-

00:49:17.200 She is fucking naturally talented. 1.00

00:49:18.480 Yes.

00:49:18.780 Yes.

00:49:19.100 Yes.

00:49:19.620 So anyway, I couldn't resist.

00:49:21.880 But no, man.

00:49:23.840 I would just say that, you know, when I was a pastor, one of the big things was, you know,

00:49:29.480 if you were a youth leader or youth pastor, if you could take your kids to a really awesome,

00:49:36.200 you know, missionary trip overseas and some exotic location, you were considered a really

00:49:41.040 cool youth pastor.

00:49:42.460 And I always used to take my kids fairly local places or the farthest we ever went was Chicago

00:49:47.360 and people get like, why were you doing that?

00:49:49.120 I said, because reality is, if you don't like, if you don't truly love and serve people where

00:49:54.000 you live, you're not going to truly love and serve people across the world.

00:49:57.960 No.

00:49:58.400 And so these people who just want this worldwide platform to feel good about themselves, listen,

00:50:03.840 if you're not, if you're not truly impacting people in your own neighborhood, then you're

00:50:08.640 not going to sincerely want to impact people all over the world.

00:50:11.820 Dude, let's be real, man.

00:50:13.520 The guy that lives in the fucking up your street that does all the good shit for the 0.89

00:50:17.920 elderly people, mows their lawn, takes care of them, plows your snow.

00:50:23.280 You know what I'm saying?

00:50:24.040 Like that guy, dude, that guy's making a far bigger impact than what probably I would make

00:50:29.520 on a big giant scale that would be watered down.

00:50:32.200 You see what I'm saying?

00:50:32.820 Yeah, no, absolutely.

00:50:33.580 The opportunity to make real impact is actually at its highest when you have the least amount

00:50:38.860 of attention.

00:50:39.740 Yeah.

00:50:39.900 And that's something that people don't like to hear, but if you really want to impact people,

00:50:44.420 don't water it down with a lot of attention.

00:50:46.800 Right.

00:50:47.020 Go through and fucking take care of the people in your circle, in your community.

00:50:50.840 You know what I mean?

00:50:51.560 Yeah.

00:50:51.800 And I would say people ought to get excited about it because the reality is if you really

00:50:55.240 do pour yourself into the people locally, that will have a chain reaction.

00:50:59.120 Yeah.

00:50:59.420 But see.

00:50:59.840 It will go worldwide.

00:51:00.940 It will, but people are full of shit and that's the problem.

00:51:04.120 It's true.

00:51:04.760 They say this shit.

00:51:05.540 I just want a thing so I can impact people and I want to help people.

00:51:09.360 When really what they're saying is I want to be fucking rich.

00:51:12.540 Right.

00:51:13.240 Right.

00:51:13.780 Right.

00:51:14.000 But they don't want to say that because they're afraid to say that because their mom and their

00:51:18.240 dad and the people around them are going to say, well, you know, there's more things

00:51:21.700 to life than money.

00:51:22.780 Well, no shit, motherfucker.

00:51:24.940 But impacting people on a large scale can make you a lot of money.

00:51:30.880 And guess where you start to impact people on a large scale?

00:51:34.180 In your fucking backyard.

00:51:35.660 Yep.

00:51:36.280 Your neighbors.

00:51:37.520 Your community leaders.

00:51:38.980 You become a community leader.

00:51:40.740 Right.

00:51:41.100 Your families.

00:51:41.920 Your friends.

00:51:42.640 I mean, dude, people are looking past the opportunity right in front of them because they

00:51:48.240 want the big opportunity that's down the road.

00:51:51.820 Right.

00:51:52.100 And because they pass the opportunity right in front of them, they never get the reps

00:51:56.200 to learn how to properly do this shit at scale.

00:51:59.480 So let's say if you did really want to impact people and you want to be, and we see this

00:52:03.260 all the time, how many people on Instagram are trying to pretend like they got all the

00:52:08.480 fucking answers, right?

00:52:10.200 They have never built anything.

00:52:11.560 They have never struggled.

00:52:12.920 They don't really have a story.

00:52:13.980 They haven't done shit, but they're on Instagram making videos about motivation and this and

00:52:18.500 that and this, this, this.

00:52:19.480 The reason that your shit doesn't connect with people is because you didn't start it

00:52:23.960 at the real level and learn how to truly connect.

00:52:27.280 That's the problem.

00:52:28.760 So when you skip the step to try to get to the fifth step where you think you should be

00:52:33.800 and you think you deserve to be, you're actually discounting your skill set and taking you

00:52:39.300 further away from what your ultimate goal is by ignoring the opportunity right in front

00:52:44.780 of your face.

00:52:45.880 Does that make sense?

00:52:46.540 Absolutely.

00:52:46.940 Well, dude, you were, uh, you were recruited by, uh, division one football teams.

00:52:51.080 You, you know that when it comes to recruiting, what's like the biggest embarrassment for

00:52:56.780 a major program in that state to not lock up what?

00:52:59.720 Their local people.

00:53:00.560 Their local people.

00:53:01.160 Yeah.

00:53:01.300 They're local athletes.

00:53:02.040 And I think it's interesting that even though first form is a nationwide and worldwide brand,

00:53:06.000 it's still probably biggest in St.

00:53:09.340 Louis because you've built such a great, dude, we have a great community, great community.

00:53:13.880 Yeah.

00:53:14.220 And you know what?

00:53:15.420 I know a lot of those people by name.

00:53:17.280 In fact, I know most of them by name.

00:53:18.980 If I go to a fucking event, I know those people.

00:53:22.220 Right.

00:53:22.500 You know what I'm saying?

00:53:23.100 Like when I see them, like I'm going to see them on, uh, in a couple of weeks at Fall

00:53:26.720 Fest, I'm, I know those people.

00:53:28.600 Yeah.

00:53:28.960 You know what I'm saying?

00:53:29.600 Yeah, absolutely.

00:53:30.480 And do that goes for building a business.

00:53:32.420 Like if you can't lock down your fucking culture and your core, where you live in your community,

00:53:37.400 you sure as fuck ain't going to be able to lock it down across the country.

00:53:40.160 Right.

00:53:40.500 It ain't going to happen.

00:53:41.320 So people need to stop obsessing about saving the whole world and focus on saving the people

00:53:45.440 in their world.

00:53:46.280 And understand that, dude, if you truly have a pure heart about impacting people, like

00:53:51.200 let's just say you're a hundred percent pure.

00:53:53.040 I just want to fucking help people.

00:53:54.980 Yeah.

00:53:55.140 Which barely anybody is.

00:53:57.000 People do.

00:53:57.620 People do exist like that.

00:53:59.040 I know people like that and I fucking love people like that.

00:54:02.660 I think it's very, very honorable.

00:54:05.540 Very few though.

00:54:06.740 Yeah.

00:54:08.340 You're, you're, it's easier for you to do without the attention.

00:54:12.440 Oh, absolutely.

00:54:13.440 Without the platform.

00:54:14.360 Yeah.

00:54:14.580 It's just easier to do.

00:54:15.780 Like there's people out there that are making profound impacts on other people's lives in

00:54:20.640 a positive way.

00:54:21.880 Every fucking day.

00:54:23.780 Teachers, nurses, EMTs, doctors.

00:54:27.500 I mean, dude, we're talking life, serious life altering situations.

00:54:33.620 And I'm not saying, by the way, most of them don't.

00:54:36.860 I'm saying there are people out there doing it right.

00:54:40.200 And they do it quietly.

00:54:42.980 Right.

00:54:43.480 And they, and do those people are some of the happiest, most fulfilled people that you

00:54:47.540 could ever possibly meet.

00:54:49.100 They're self-assured.

00:54:50.460 They're self-confident.

00:54:51.840 They know why they're here.

00:54:53.300 They know what their mission is and they feel fucking great about it.

00:54:56.740 They appreciate the recognition, but they don't need it.

00:55:00.320 That's right.

00:55:00.900 And you know, what's funny.

00:55:02.660 They're happy.

00:55:03.660 Yeah.

00:55:03.900 But why are they happy?

00:55:05.280 They're happy because every single day they come to work, they're putting everything they

00:55:09.340 have into it.

00:55:10.600 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:11.820 No, dude, I get it.

00:55:13.460 Dude, your happiness and your discipline are completely aligned at all times.

00:55:18.240 It's just the way it is.

00:55:19.320 Absolutely.

00:55:19.720 So guys, what makes your work worthwhile?

00:55:24.440 It's not the job you do.

00:55:25.640 It's how you do the job.

00:55:27.100 It's not how much money you make.

00:55:29.040 It's how much you could make.

00:55:30.280 The fulfillment of your own true potential.

00:55:32.640 And then when it talks, when we're talking about making an impact on the whole world,

00:55:36.300 it's not the overall number of people you impact in the world.

00:55:39.060 It's the people you impact in your own part of the world and focusing on that.

00:55:43.060 Not being famous, not having a worldwide platform, but pouring into the people in front of you.

00:55:48.560 It's not overlooking people.

00:55:50.980 Yeah.

00:55:51.180 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:51.980 Like, dude, this person right in front of you is not less worthy of your ability to

00:55:58.340 impact them than somebody that you don't know over in Africa.

00:56:02.080 I'm sorry.

00:56:03.000 Right.

00:56:03.360 It's just reality.

00:56:04.780 So if you're true about wanting to impact people, which you should be, you should start

00:56:10.140 in your own backyard.

00:56:11.500 You should start in your own community.

00:56:13.600 Because if nothing else, if you're really doing it to impact people, you can do it more

00:56:18.520 effectively.

00:56:19.180 If you're doing it because you want to make money, you got to own your own territory in

00:56:23.360 the first place anyway.

00:56:25.060 Right.

00:56:25.920 Either way, it's what you should do.

00:56:28.080 And people are looking 10 steps down the road instead of focusing on all the opportunity

00:56:32.720 right in front of them.

00:56:33.500 Because they're so enamored with the flash and the cash and the fucking, all the lifestyle

00:56:39.500 shit that's going on right now that they feel like, dude, where do I even start?

00:56:45.100 Where do I even start to do this?

00:56:47.280 Man, it is real easy.

00:56:48.820 You see someone that needs help, help them.

00:56:51.360 Yep.

00:56:51.620 You see someone that could use a positive word in their life, give them a positive word.

00:56:57.020 This is the shit that really matters.

00:56:58.740 And guys, what happens is it builds.

00:57:01.460 If you want to build your fucking brand, be known in your community as the motherfucker

00:57:06.240 that cares the most.

00:57:07.600 That shit will translate to online.

00:57:09.780 You'll start to build a community.

00:57:11.700 It will work.

00:57:13.060 You're just overlooking the obvious.

00:57:15.600 And that has to stop if you truly want to be fulfilled and truly want to be successful

00:57:21.500 in your life.

00:57:22.100 Good stuff, man.

00:57:23.620 Hey, I should probably know this, but is it too late to promote the RTA Live event, the

00:57:31.380 RTA Syndicate Live?

00:57:32.460 By this time, will that be sold out?

00:57:34.240 I don't know.

00:57:34.980 Maybe.

00:57:35.380 No.

00:57:35.660 The tickets to the public, I think, drop early next week.

00:57:38.260 Okay.

00:57:38.700 Yeah.

00:57:39.300 Okay.

00:57:40.740 They can hop on and I'll probably post something in my story over the next couple of days

00:57:45.860 about, you know, getting on that list because we don't, we don't, most of the tickets are

00:57:51.620 eaten up by people who are in RTA and then we have a handful that are public available.

00:57:56.400 But if you're in the public and you're not in RTA and you want to come to see RTA Live,

00:58:01.960 which is a fucking amazing event, taught by real entrepreneurs, not, it's not these buzzword

00:58:07.560 people.

00:58:08.140 This is real shit.

00:58:09.140 Like it's real tactical stuff.

00:58:10.800 And if that's something that you're interested in doing, we'll have some tickets available,

00:58:14.840 but it is something you got to be on top of right away because we sell them out in a

00:58:17.780 few minutes.

00:58:18.500 And guys, we, we, uh, again, we always have, uh, new listeners.

00:58:21.800 So maybe to some extent you don't know what we're talking about, but even if you miss or

00:58:25.880 are not able to attend the, uh, the live event, you need to look into the RTA Syndicate.

00:58:30.580 It's A-R-E-T-E-S-Y-N-D-I-C-A-T-E.com.

00:58:34.960 Um, we're not accepting people right now, but if you, if you go to there and sign up, it'd be

00:58:39.540 good for them to get on the email list.

00:58:41.180 We don't listen.

00:58:42.240 We don't spam people.

00:58:43.320 We don't send out a bunch of shit.

00:58:44.920 We don't try to, we don't even have anything to sell.

00:58:47.300 Okay.

00:58:48.100 You have to be accepted to even be in it, but it would be a good idea to get in touch with

00:58:54.260 the community.

00:58:55.320 If it's something you think that you're interested in down the road, uh, just because it's in,

00:58:59.900 it is, it's just in demand.

00:59:01.860 Yep.

00:59:02.360 And it's just so it's, it's very hard to even describe what it is.

00:59:05.280 So just go to, go to the website and check it out.

00:59:08.980 What else dude?

00:59:10.600 I think that's it, man.

00:59:12.420 Got to remind these people, pay the fee.

00:59:14.140 Yeah.

00:59:14.520 Pay the fee.

00:59:15.580 What's the fee?

00:59:16.840 Bring us a friend.

00:59:17.960 Bring us a friend, man.

00:59:19.100 That's all we ask.

00:59:20.340 Like guys, you know, this is something that we do because we love doing it.

00:59:25.740 We do love to kick ass like, cause we're competitive.

00:59:28.600 So if you like the show, if you got one thing out of it, we got one sentence out of this

00:59:32.920 show that did anything for you, man.

00:59:35.760 Give us a like, a little share, you know, um, a review, uh, you know, the conversation

00:59:42.140 comes up about where you can learn some cool shit about being better.

00:59:45.580 Give us a mention.

00:59:46.620 That's all we ask.
