Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and
00:00:14.420 I am the motherfucking CEO. Guys, my hope for you is that I'm not the only motherfucking
00:00:20.300 CEO. I want you to be a motherfucking CEO too. What does that mean? It means taking responsibility.
00:00:25.240 It means taking accountability. It means doing what's right, doing the work, and doing it with
00:00:31.260 a passion and a drive that is unmatched by anyone. And oh yeah, by the way, it's cool to have some
00:00:36.820 fucking swagger too. Here's the deal. Last year I did a 4th of July podcast. This year I didn't.
00:00:44.540 But what I did do is I spent some time reflecting on the 4th of July and what it means and what it
00:00:52.040 means to me personally. And I want to share those thoughts with you guys. I know not everybody
00:00:55.640 listening is from America. Bear with me. If you're not a fan of America, you're not a fan of the
00:01:01.000 fucking podcast, all right? That's the truth, okay? By the way, I get all these people every time I talk
00:01:06.420 about America on a podcast. Well, I'm not from America. Well, fuck, dude. I'm sorry. It sucks for
00:01:10.540 you, all right? But I have some things that I want to share with you that have to do with our country,
00:01:16.160 all right? And first I want to say this. I know America isn't perfect, but I love America. I love
00:01:22.340 the American dream. I love that you can work hard and accomplish your goals and build the life that
00:01:27.280 you want. I'm incredibly grateful for the men and women who have died for our freedom, and I'm
00:01:32.100 incredibly thankful for our soldiers currently working to protect our freedom and our way of life
00:01:37.860 all over these armpits of the world, all right? Every day I work on my own America dream. I work hard
00:01:45.980 to get shit done. I work hard to provide value, not just to the customers of my companies,
00:01:51.880 but to my friends and my family, to you guys, to everyone that comes in contact with me. I work hard
00:01:57.360 to leave them with improvements that they can make in their lives and to help them find those ways to
00:02:02.660 improve, all right? You guys have probably noticed that we skipped a couple episodes on the podcast,
00:02:07.640 and I apologize, but here's the truth. We have a lot of shit going on here with the MSCEO project.
00:02:13.300 We've got some huge projects in play, and at the end of the day, we get busy. I've got companies
00:02:19.880 that I own. I don't just do this as my career, all right? Besides that, I'm not going to post an
00:02:26.020 episode just because some expert says you have to keep up this regular schedule. I believe in posting
00:02:31.060 and publishing the highest quality content that I possibly can. If I'm not ready to say something good,
00:02:36.700 I just won't say anything, all right? I'm not going to spit rainbows and bullshit out of my mouth just to
00:02:41.980 keep you guys happy, all right? But getting to the point of this podcast, on the day that America
00:02:48.440 celebrates her independence, there's some thoughts I wanted to drop on you after reflecting over the
00:02:54.260 course of this weekend. Whether you're American, Russian, Chinese, I think you're going to be able to
00:02:58.940 benefit from them. Guys, as a human being, you are free. You're free to be great, all right? You're not
00:03:09.080 enslaved by your race. You're not enslaved by your gender. You're not enslaved by your childhood. You're
00:03:15.220 not enslaved by your lousy parents. You're not enslaved by the social or economic class you were
00:03:21.620 born into. You aren't enslaved by your physical disabilities, your lack of education, or any other
00:03:27.360 fucking thing that you could come up with and make excuses about. You're not enslaved to your past.
00:03:31.900 You're not enslaved to the mistakes you've made, the struggles you've experienced, or the setbacks
00:03:36.340 you've encountered. You aren't enslaved to a future that has no hope for a life that brings you no
00:03:41.700 satisfaction. You are free. You're free to dream so big that people laugh at you. You're free to set
00:03:48.160 huge, unrealistic goals. You're free to commit to your plan. You're free to work your fucking ass off.
00:03:53.920 You're free to tell toxic people in your life to go kick rocks. You're free to find people who will
00:03:59.100 support you and bring out the best in you. You're free to change the way you think. You're free to
00:04:03.760 turn adversity into an asset. You're free to push forward and never fucking give up until you get what
00:04:09.800 it is that you want. Listen, I don't want to get political, and that's not the point of this podcast
00:04:14.900 episode. A lot of people in America think the government's getting too big and getting into people's
00:04:19.980 businesses too much, and I agree with that, okay? But here's the situation. The greatest threat to
00:04:25.920 humans in general isn't big government. It's not some foreign army. It's not some terrorist group.
00:04:32.940 It's not the fucking environment experiencing global warming or any of this other bullshit that they try
00:04:37.560 to feed us through the media, okay? That's not the biggest threat to us. Our biggest threat is to
00:04:43.320 ourselves. The biggest tyrant that you need to worry about is the one that you look at in the mirror
00:04:47.680 every fucking day, okay? You're the only one that has the power to enslave yourself. You're the only
00:04:53.680 one that has the freedom to be great. You can live in a free country but still be enslaved by your own
00:04:59.340 thoughts, and those thoughts come from you, okay? It's your own attitudes, your own sorry-ass excuses,
00:05:05.400 and the same old fucking story you've been telling yourself for the last 30 fucking years. But guys,
00:05:10.900 you have to understand, you are free. Do you hear what I'm saying? You are free. You're free to be
00:05:17.660 great. You're free to let none of the things that we talked about hold power over you. So start fucking
00:05:23.900 exercising that freedom. Start enjoying it. Do everything in your power to liberate yourself from
00:05:29.260 whoever it is you think is enslaving you and fight for your freedom, okay? And whoever it is that's
00:05:35.260 enslaving you, we all know who the fuck that is. It's you, all right? Guys, we have tremendous
00:05:41.200 opportunity in this country. We have the ability to do things that nobody else can do. We are afforded
00:05:46.960 privileges that no one else has, and you guys, for the most part, take it for fucking granted,
00:05:52.380 all right? Because you have no perspective on the rest of the world and what the rest of the world is
00:05:57.040 like. You have the choice to be great. You have the ability to be great, and when you're not great,
00:06:02.600 it's because you're choosing not to be fucking great, all right? So stop blaming your fucking parents.
00:06:08.860 Stop blaming your grandpa. Stop blaming your, you know, born poor. Stop blaming your fact that
00:06:15.940 you're in a wheelchair. Stop blaming this. Stop blaming that. Take responsibility for your life
00:06:20.960 and go build something fucking great.
00:06:38.860 Stop blaming your asshole. Stop blaming your husband and voice over your head. You're
