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.
00:00:11.860
What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host and I am
00:00:17.960
the motherfucking CEO. Guys, today we have a full length podcast with my co-host Vaughn,
00:00:25.820
the pastor of Disaster, a.k.a. Vaughn Diesel, a.k.a. Vaughn Bon Jovi, a.k.a. DJ DJ God.
00:00:36.520
A.k.a. Vaughn Halen, a.k.a. Vaughn Swoller, a.k.a. Vaughn the Impaler, a.k.a.
00:00:59.460
But, I did make a promise yesterday that I was going to put out a podcast today on 75 Hard
00:01:05.940
and Phase 1 to help people understand what and where and why, but mainly the what they need to do.
00:01:17.620
We're having some people finish Phase 1 right now.
00:01:20.840
Now, a lot of people are probably like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:01:25.640
Well, why don't you hand on, what's the episode number we did on 75 Hard there?
00:01:31.980
Well, I'm going to look it up in my handy dandy iPhone.
00:01:38.200
Yeah, if you haven't listened to the 75 Hard podcast, which is a tactical guide to winning
00:01:47.400
the war with yourself that I did on March 4th or 5th, you need to go listen to that first.
00:01:57.600
Okay, so that would be the prerequisite for this episode.
00:02:01.620
On March 4th or 5th, I think the 5th for me, I started what is now known as a massive global
00:02:10.480
movement called 75 Hard, which is designed very specifically to create the qualities that
00:02:20.260
you have been looking for your entire life, but haven't been able to find.
00:02:25.280
And the reason you haven't been able to find them is because no one's ever shown you how
00:02:31.800
Instead, they've taught you to think that the qualities of grit, fortitude, the ability to
00:02:41.520
endure, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-belief, all of these intangible qualities that create
00:02:49.440
discipline and mental toughness, people have been led to believe that you are either born
00:02:58.740
And if you think and pay attention and become aware enough, you will notice that this is
00:03:08.080
They make their money by selling you the idea of you should have these things, but you don't.
00:03:16.940
And they tell you to do things like affirmations, or they tell you to do things like read this
00:03:24.560
book, or you should just believe and you are worth it and this, that, and the other.
00:03:29.940
And I've been saying for decades, literally since the beginning of fucking time and my time,
00:03:40.640
They are skills that you can cultivate, that you can fine tune, that you can develop through
00:03:54.560
Is it about you doing things consistently that are uncomfortable, that will help you to sharpen
00:04:02.760
your skill set, that will create the foundation that you can build whatever it is you want.
00:04:11.820
Now, most people just skip right to the building phase.
00:04:15.800
They're going to go out, they're going to buy a course on how to make money.
00:04:19.160
They're going to buy some courses on how to have a good relationship.
00:04:24.640
They're going to do all these different things, right?
00:04:26.940
Um, they're going to buy supplements, they're going to buy fitness programs, they're going
00:04:32.520
to buy all this shit thinking that it's going to solve their problem.
00:04:41.500
But only when you have the foundation built for you to build something upon, just like you
00:04:49.220
If you build a house on top of just dirt, the house is far more likely to be blown over.
00:05:00.240
When you build a house on top of a really strong, solid, deep foundation, you're far less likely
00:05:09.180
to have the issues of the house crumbling, to have the issues of the house falling apart,
00:05:15.300
for the wind to come through and blow it over, all right?
00:05:21.440
Because now you've developed the skills that are going to be the cornerstone of all the
00:05:28.460
other successes that you're going to have in life, all right?
00:05:37.580
This is a very specific program designed to cultivate the things that you cannot cultivate
00:05:45.240
by just thinking about it, or talking about it, or having fucking Skypes about it with your
00:05:55.780
We just had one of the best therapists in the world on our show the very last episode.
00:06:02.080
And she will corroborate exactly what I'm talking about here.
00:06:05.320
You cannot just speak this shit into existence.
00:06:09.440
You have to go out and do hard shit so that you know you can do hard shit.
00:06:32.180
And when you guys can't understand why you don't have those things, I want you to consider
00:06:39.340
the fact that those things are actually skills that you just haven't put practice into developing
00:06:47.200
yet, as opposed to looking at them as character traits that you are born with or not.
00:06:54.120
And understanding that difference will make the difference for you.
00:06:57.800
Now, that is a very quick summary of the purpose of 75 hard.
00:07:09.380
If you haven't listened to that episode, you need to go back, listen to episode 290.
00:07:20.200
That's the first two phases of what is called the Live Hard program, all right?
00:07:28.840
Phase one, phase two, phase three are 30-day phases that you are to complete all four phases
00:07:46.660
This is like running an ultramarathon for your brain.
00:07:52.460
This is like doing an Ironman for your brain, okay?
00:07:57.980
Lots of you guys out there, you're thinking, oh, I dieted for a bodybuilding show.
00:08:04.180
Because on a bodybuilding show, you get cheat meals.
00:08:08.980
On a bodybuilding show, you get flexibility and changes with your program.
00:08:15.060
A lot of you guys are thinking, I ran an ultramarathon.
00:08:24.500
Just because you're able to push yourself in one area doesn't mean you could push yourself
00:08:37.420
Why do you struggle with doing the things that you want?
00:08:40.640
So don't be talking shit about how you've done this when you haven't fucking done it.
00:08:51.200
I took, I believe, three days off between 75 hard and phase one.
00:09:02.660
I did not take off the inside workout part or the water part or the progress pick part.
00:09:09.320
I only took off the outdoor cardio part for three days because I had blisters on my feet
00:09:15.680
that were fucking literally unbearable, hoping that they would heal.
00:09:23.600
Now, 75 hard consists, the podcast will tell you what it consists of.
00:09:32.660
It will tell you exactly what to do, exactly how to do it.
00:09:40.120
Um, and I'm going to talk mostly about phase one here and then where to go after phase one.
00:09:47.720
So if you don't know about 75 hard, go back, listen to the podcast, come back, pick up this
00:10:02.040
All the things of 75 hard are continued to be required in phase one.
00:10:19.360
That means if it's in the rain, if it's in the snow, if it's in the heat, if it's in a
00:10:26.960
Don't go out and fucking get killed and then try to tell me that you got killed because
00:10:36.120
Well, I'm just saying that's what people will figure out how to do.
00:10:38.500
They'll fucking bitch me out and they'll say, I fucking died because of you.
00:10:41.940
You know, I know that sounds stupid, but let's be real.
00:10:46.140
And some people will even come back from the dead just to complain.
00:10:50.720
I think people, some people's entire existence is to ask useless questions and complain about
00:10:56.540
So if you're going to ask useless questions or stupid questions about this program,
00:11:00.900
about shit that I'm not covering here, I'm not going to answer you because you're a
00:11:19.000
And if you don't do it the way it is, you didn't do the motherfucking program.
00:11:22.260
This is not some bullshit internet challenge I just put together to entertain myself.
00:11:31.300
And those reasons will be completely explained when I come out with the book that will come
00:11:45.140
Understand these have to be completed in a specific order.
00:12:00.780
Phase one is all the five tasks from 75 hard, which are follow a diet to two workouts.
00:12:10.460
Like I said, a progress pick every day, one gallon of water, 10 pages of reading, no alcohol
00:12:26.180
In addition to that, we're going to add some new tasks.
00:12:32.340
Now, the first task on phase one, that's in addition to the 75 hard tasks is that you're
00:12:42.520
going to add three more critical powerless tasks to your list.
00:12:48.180
Now, I realize that having five powerless tasks on your 75 hard was not a requirement.
00:13:03.840
Now, some of you are choosing to do eight because you did five the first time.
00:13:08.260
Whatever you were doing for 75 hard, you got to do three more.
00:13:11.860
If you didn't have any, if you had zero powerless tasks, you got to do three.
00:13:17.780
Now, powerless tasks are clearly defined as tasks that are critical to moving your life
00:13:29.400
Now, I explained this powerless program in one of our most popular episodes.
00:13:40.260
That's a program you should use no matter what.
00:13:43.860
So, I'm not going to spend too much time on that.
00:13:46.440
Now, the next one is the five-minute cold shower.
00:13:52.620
Now, every single day, you're going to take a shower.
00:13:58.100
You're going to take a five-minute cold shower.
00:14:09.060
It means it's cold enough to cause you discomfort.
00:14:13.080
And you're going to consistently press to make it as cold and uncomfortable as possible.
00:14:18.660
If you're not doing that, you're missing the point.
00:14:21.540
Now, does that mean that you have to take your whole shower in cold water?
00:14:30.480
Do I have to turn the shower all the way on cold and jump in?
00:14:45.860
Then, when I'm done with that, that's when I turn the water to cold and I work it down to cold.
00:14:53.480
Some of you guys doing that, that's fucking badass.
00:14:58.060
I start the five-minute countdown when the water is extremely fucking cold.
00:15:02.520
And what I mean by that is, like, you're having a hard time breathing.
00:15:05.300
If you're not having a hard time breathing where you're like,
00:15:14.460
And after a few minutes, you'll acclimate and you're going to keep pushing it colder and keep pushing it colder.
00:15:19.320
And you start when it gets uncomfortable, keep pushing it colder, and you end when five minutes is up.
00:15:26.900
To me, a good rule of thumb besides it pushes you beyond your comfort is,
00:15:32.700
if it's cold enough that you really want to get out, that's probably...
00:15:42.680
If you listened to the last podcast with Nicole, dude, when you don't do things with intent, you become stale.
00:15:48.540
I've had a lot of you guys saying, man, I'm having victories on my 75 hard.
00:15:53.560
I'm winning every day, but I don't feel like I'm getting the same thing out of it as I did in the beginning.
00:15:58.580
Well, the reason you're not getting the same thing out of it is because you're not pushing yourself with intent to make it hard.
00:16:04.140
What's hard for you on day 60 is not the same thing that's hard for you on day three.
00:16:09.620
So you have to continue to push to be uncomfortable.
00:16:14.820
Can I just make an observation is that I feel like of all the people that respond to you and have questions, there's basically two types of people.
00:16:24.280
There's the type of people who take what you say and they're immediately trying to find the loophole or trying to find some way to make it...
00:16:32.100
Yeah, and those are the people who are going to be broke their entire life.
00:16:35.800
But then there's also the people that, you know, to some extent, especially those now who have completed 75 hard, that it's kind of an ego thing for them.
00:16:45.080
And they're kind of like, well, I want to get the specifics on this and the details so that I make sure that I actually over-deliver and over-kill.
00:16:58.000
There's also people out there, too, that are like, dude, I fucking did this and you're only doing five minutes, I'm doing seven minutes.
00:17:06.300
That means you're not doing the full five minutes the right way.
00:17:10.900
I'm going to tell you right now, dude, after five minutes of cold fucking water...
00:17:15.840
And the standard, the answer applies to both of these people.
00:17:20.280
Do it so it pushes you beyond your comfort zone.
00:17:26.920
It's not like, oh, see, dude, and here's the third person.
00:17:29.760
The third person, and these people are really fucking annoying.
00:17:33.840
They're the people who are, like, worried about what everybody else is doing.
00:17:36.720
But what's funny is those same people who have been messing with me, what about so-and-so, they did this?
00:17:43.760
They fucking failed the program seven times and had to start over.
00:17:48.660
Because they're not focusing on their own shit, which is a whole nother lesson that we...
00:17:51.800
We have, like, a whole chapter in the book about that.
00:18:01.020
It's the five tasks plus the three powerless tasks plus the cold shower.
00:18:06.320
Now, this is the big one that I think is important.
00:18:11.360
They're all important, but I think this one is the one that will make the difference for a lot of people.
00:18:18.460
Most people, what I've found is they don't know the difference between a dream and a goal.
00:18:29.440
They walk into a nice house or a nice vacation or they walk by something or see something or notice something.
00:18:43.320
They don't ever actually practice being in that moment and feeling it emotionally.
00:18:54.380
And then it just further locks in that thinking that we end up where we are as a result of circumstance, not as a result of our own decisions.
00:19:06.200
So, you guys have to remember, this visualization, not only is it important for you because you need to see yourself in these places and visualize things to make it real for you,
00:19:23.200
but it also helps you become intentional with all your other tasks.
00:19:28.720
Because lots of people, you know, we've talked about this on the podcast before, guys, there's a big difference between busy and effective.
00:19:36.840
There's a big difference between being fulfilled and feeling empty.
00:19:41.100
And you could do the same exact shit day in and day out and feel fulfilled or empty.
00:19:48.720
And the difference between those two feelings is the intent that you're putting on your day-to-day tasks.
00:20:02.100
Like, dude, they worked a retail store for two years, right?
00:20:07.100
And they're like, fuck, dude, I can't fucking do this and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:15.540
What you're doing is you're getting bored because you're not putting the intent behind every opportunity that you have.
00:20:22.620
You're not intentionally executing with that customer in front of you to help them.
00:20:27.860
Because if you were and they were getting results, you would be completely fulfilled in your job.
00:20:36.360
When you become more fulfilled in your job, you get better at it, which helps you move to a new position where you will earn more money,
00:20:46.960
you'll have a better career, and you'll have more opportunity to help people.
00:20:49.500
But that all starts with you being intent, having intent with what it is you do on a day-by-day basis.
00:20:56.920
The reason most people are empty, the reason most people aren't fulfilled,
00:21:00.840
the reason most people hate what they fucking do every day isn't because they actually hate what they do.
00:21:13.440
So instead of putting 100% energy into the person in front of you, they're just going through the motions.
00:21:20.320
And when they go through those motions, at the end of the day, they feel like they didn't do anything.
00:21:27.700
And that's what's happening on 75 Hard for some people.
00:21:30.240
They're doing the bare minimum, not consciously present about what it is that they're doing.
00:21:35.220
And so when they end the day, they don't feel like they won.
00:21:41.780
If you don't practice it with intent on a day-by-day basis, you're not going to grow mentally the way the program's designed.
00:21:54.180
One is that, I mean, this is stating the obvious, but sometimes you need to do that with people.
00:21:58.580
But the practice of closing your eyes and visualizing something, actually engaging your imagination and sustaining the images that you're trying to, you know, motivate yourself with, doing it in great detail, doing it vividly as, like I said, detailed as possible, that takes work.
00:22:26.320
It's like working, it's like you're literally working out your mind.
00:22:45.100
In fact, I would say I become an effective worker because of my laziness.
00:22:55.780
Now, I'm willing to work hard, but I prefer not to, just like everybody else, right?
00:23:18.520
And so when you do those things and you practice the visualization and you practice being effective versus just being busy, now all of a sudden you're playing a different game than everybody else.
00:23:28.440
Because most people are playing the game of how much time have I put in.
00:23:32.440
I've, you know, they have the union worker mentality.
00:23:36.560
I'm going to get my fucking benefits and this and that.
00:23:48.400
My life does not, I am not fulfilled by sitting in a fucking pond throwing a fucking line in the water.
00:23:57.160
My idea of being happy is squeezing every fucking ounce of potential out of my body and my mind and seeing what the fuck I can do.
00:24:07.300
And so, I think it's important to understand that there's a reason behind all of these things.
00:24:16.720
And you guys who have completed 75 hard, you know the reasons behind these things now.
00:24:25.200
And by the way, I've got to commend you guys because you basically did something off faith in me.
00:24:32.280
And, dude, I have not had one single person DM me or email me and say, dude, I did the 75 hard exactly as you said.
00:24:43.260
Dude, I had an email right before I came on from a guy that I know in England.
00:24:51.100
And he told me today that he has – and the reason I talk to him consistently is because he struggles with depression.
00:25:10.180
He said, dude, the only thing that's keeping me moving forward and keeping my depression and my suicidal thoughts at bay is the discipline that I'm creating through this program.
00:25:24.460
The podcast, the fucking – all the work that we've done, all the bullshit we've dealt with, all the traveling, all the money spent.
00:25:37.640
And that's why I put it out for free because people fucking need it.
00:25:42.680
And the other thing to reemphasize, and you've said this in so many words, but I'm going to restate it just to drive home the point.
00:25:52.440
He's done all kinds of fucking crazy, hard shit.
00:25:59.940
It's the fucking best thing I've ever done in my life and the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
00:26:04.920
I want to pull up his text he sent me the other day.
00:26:10.120
He goes – he sent me a screenshot of someone that he sent to his buddy.
00:26:14.620
I'm pulling up my phone, so sorry for the little lull here.
00:26:17.300
One of his buddies, who's also a follower of mine, I follow him, he said, bro, I can't make it past five days with 75 hard.
00:26:29.640
When I'm done with work, I work out once, and then by the end of the day, with babies, the second workout, it just doesn't happen.
00:26:36.580
Or I'm so spent driving my tour bus and singing that I'm burned out.
00:26:49.080
That's all I have the energy to do after a show.
00:26:52.260
I got fucking seven or eight – I don't even know how many companies I got.
00:26:57.260
I'm just guessing when I say that shit at this point.
00:27:02.800
There's not much left at the end of the fucking day.
00:27:09.340
He says, or do I not have the discipline at the level of commitment to make a billion?
00:27:21.760
I know we're all different businesses, but still.
00:27:40.240
Some nights I'm literally falling asleep when I'm walking.
00:27:50.580
When everything and everyone is saying, chill, when your body is exhausted, it's a mental game that says, just fucking walk, bro.
00:28:00.780
I've had five MMA fights, done two full Ironman races.
00:28:04.740
This is the most difficult thing I've ever done.
00:28:07.100
But it's also produced the biggest results I've ever seen.
00:28:14.720
My personal life is as good as it has been in years.
00:28:17.060
And I promise you, bro, if you go all in and do it, it'll change your fucking life.
00:28:27.020
And the emphasis on how brutal and difficult it is really drives home the reason you do the visualization.
00:28:32.100
Because as something you said recently in a keynote to Arete, we're not becoming mentally tough just for the sake of becoming mentally tough.
00:28:42.060
We're becoming mentally tough so our goals and our dreams can come true.
00:28:47.680
You have to take the time to visualize and say, why am I doing this?
00:28:56.140
Whether that's a car or traveling or being on stage or anything, that's how important it is.
00:29:02.920
I think the, so let's talk about the prerequisites real quick.
00:29:12.940
So the prerequisites for the three consecutive phases afterwards.
00:29:26.140
So when I say specific instructions, part of this program is designed to teach you to quit fucking up simple instructions.
00:29:40.340
I don't care if you learn better through audiobooks.
00:29:44.700
The reason you learn better through audiobooks is because you're fucking lazy and you haven't developed the skills to learn how to read properly.
00:29:56.260
Oh, I land better through, I have a learning discipline.
00:30:01.440
It takes me an hour to read 10 pages because I read slow as fuck.
00:30:05.320
I scored above 30 every fucking category on my ACT except fucking math and reading.
00:30:18.620
One of your workouts must be outdoors for at least 45 minutes.
00:30:23.660
Three tasks that move you forward in other areas of your life on your power list.
00:30:29.880
And you have until you go to sleep to complete the day.
00:30:38.020
Oh, I saw so-and-so people out until 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:30:42.880
That's what it takes sometimes when you're busy as fuck.
00:30:45.780
You got to get up and fucking, you got to go out, get out of your bed and go do your
00:30:53.560
There was a couple times during the 75 hard where I was in bed and I'm like, fuck it,
00:31:02.780
I got up, I went out, I drug my exercise bike out into the fucking driveway and I did fucking
00:31:08.640
45 minutes at 2 o'clock in the fucking morning.
00:31:16.980
Now, important thing that I get a ton of questions on, all right?
00:31:23.680
Do you have to go right into phase one after 75 hard?
00:31:37.300
You cannot go from phase one to phase two without taking 30 days off.
00:31:49.940
You could do the same shit that you've been doing in this program for the next 30 days,
00:31:56.640
In fact, that's the reason I'm not giving you phase two yet, because the time hasn't
00:32:04.180
Why am I saying that you have to take 30 days off?
00:32:07.420
And by the way, when I say 30 days off, that doesn't mean go out and fucking eat like a
00:32:12.160
fucking wild animal and drink like a drunk and not work out.
00:32:21.540
Remember when you were a kid and you learned how to swim and they put those little water
00:32:27.120
wings on you and you went out in the pool and after about fucking, you know, 10 lessons,
00:32:34.720
What happened when they took your water wings off?
00:32:39.260
Okay, so this 30 day break is designed to teach you how to operate this as a lifestyle versus
00:32:48.660
you having to have the program to be taking care of your own business.
00:32:58.540
That should make really good sense to everybody here.
00:33:02.320
Now, just like in 75 hard, if you fuck up and you miss one of the tasks on phase one,
00:33:18.920
Now, do you start over at day one of 75 hard or do you start over on the day of the current
00:33:26.500
So, if you get to phase three and you fuck up at day 16, you do not go back to phase
00:33:32.320
two day one or phase one day one or 75 hard day one.
00:33:47.580
Can you put the notes in that for these people?
00:33:50.660
I mean, we've done it here and there in a number of them.
00:33:55.760
All right, we're going to put the 75 hard podcast and the episode 107 win the day podcast
00:34:03.780
and some visualization stuff inside the show notes for this episode.
00:34:09.780
So between those three and this, you'll have all the resources you know to get going.
00:34:14.080
Yeah, and basically, you just have to go to andyfricella.com and then click on podcasts.
00:34:17.960
I mean, the most recent episode is always at the beginning.
00:34:21.100
Yep, and also, guys, when you do this program, now understand, I'm writing a whole book on this.
00:34:29.300
My first adult book will be about this program, all right?
00:34:32.500
Because I think it's something that people fucking need.
00:34:35.920
This is something that you need to look at as a tool to help you get re-centered when you start to get off track later in life.
00:34:46.180
Five years from now, because we're human, we are going to naturally drift.
00:34:53.140
We're pre-programmed to find the most efficient, the least resistance way.
00:34:57.760
And what happens is we have good intentions about doing all these things,
00:35:02.180
and then we find ourselves over somewhere where we don't want to be.
00:35:06.360
75 hard is a program that you would use to get yourself back on track.
00:35:12.840
Okay, now, my recommendation is that you should do this every single year.
00:35:17.540
Do you want to be whatever it is you want to be?
00:35:20.580
You need to look at this as an essential part of that program.
00:35:31.480
You should be looking at the Live Hard program as a lifetime program that you will do every single year,
00:35:40.280
So, meaning that you will do, every year, you will do 75 hard, phase one, phase two, phase three,
00:35:46.040
in every fucking year to keep you finely tuned.
00:35:50.300
I think, personally, how important my life is, I have no problem making that commitment.
00:35:58.980
Now, it might not be worth it to everybody, and that's okay, too,
00:36:02.440
but you should still always remember that this program is there to help you get re-centered.
00:36:07.180
So, when you start to feel out there or off track or things aren't going or you feel stuck,
00:36:12.800
this is going to be something that is going to help you get re-centered and help you get back where you need to go.
00:36:33.640
And by the way, guys, when I ask for your email for 75 hard in my stories,
00:36:38.940
if you've done 75 hard, if you're doing 75 hard, fucking subscribe to that email,
00:36:46.220
I'm actually looking for people to profile in my book and to have on the podcast as guests to talk about this.
00:36:53.340
I think it's going to be the biggest thing I've ever put together in my entire life.
00:36:57.940
It might not be the most financially successful thing.
00:37:01.000
It's fucking free, but it's the most important thing, in my opinion.
00:37:07.920
Actually, a point having to do with the whole recalibration.
00:37:17.480
But I think people would be wrong if they thought that mental toughness is something that, you know...
00:37:24.840
Like, there's whatever that is, the third law of thermodynamics,
00:37:28.560
or things are in a constant state of decay, or that might be the second law of thermodynamics.
00:37:31.960
But the point is that, as human beings, if we're not...
00:37:39.440
You're going to use this to sharpen the motherfucker up.
00:37:42.340
Like, you're not going to finish 75 hard and then coast the rest of your life.
00:37:48.920
That goes back to us understanding that this is a skill.
00:37:55.860
That being said, I do think that there is a sense in which, when you complete the program,
00:38:01.800
you are, you have crossed the line to another level to where even if you start deteriorating,
00:38:08.120
you're still on a higher level than most people.
00:38:10.240
But you have to work to continue to go higher and higher and higher.
00:38:12.540
Yeah, but that's where the comparison of you...
00:38:14.320
See, your old comparisons, you know, a lot of people like to say comparison's terrible.
00:38:23.340
And you need to learn to start comparing yourselves to fucking higher level people than your average
00:38:37.340
You know, and I do agree, like, especially with Ed, that all the negative things in life
00:38:42.120
when it comes to unhappiness come from comparison, over comparison.
00:38:46.260
But it's healthy to compare in certain situations.
00:38:50.560
And that's what's going to push you and should push you to be better.
00:38:54.480
Now, some people don't even have enough confidence to feel that fire, like,
00:38:59.960
I could be better when they compare themselves to other people, right?
00:39:05.400
They've just got, like, a piece of metal, right?
00:39:07.520
And 75 Hard, the Live Hard program, is going to shape that into an edge, right?
00:39:12.420
It's going to give them a higher level than what they had.
00:39:14.520
And every year, it's going to progress, progress, progress.
00:39:19.040
I mean, there's a comparison that debilitates, and there's a comparison that motivates.
00:39:22.740
And the question is whether you're saying, I'm not them, and make yourself feel bad,
00:39:36.600
And we'll have the phase two, phase three podcast here in less than 30 days for you guys.
00:39:46.380
Uh, we've got some exciting projects we're working on.
00:39:54.600
Uh, you know, we've got some cool audio, little, little audio things that we're working on for
00:39:59.820
people to use while they're doing their workouts.
00:40:04.480
We, we always, we always love to hear about your experience of 75 Hard.
00:40:09.420
So, I mean, I would, I mean, if you're going to bitch, I don't want to hear that.
00:40:12.500
No, but I mean, I mean, you know, I don't know if it's smart to put my email on the, uh,
00:40:20.020
So, but DM us, let us know what your experience is.
00:40:33.020
I'm active on all those hashtags, including I am first form, first form, um, Lesion Boom
00:40:41.380
Those are my hashtags I look at every day, uh, to really connect with people.
00:40:45.220
But like for my, for this project, dude, I look every day at 75 Hard.
00:40:48.880
I look at Live Hard and I look at 100 to zero every single day.
00:40:52.540
So guys, use those hashtags in your stories and in your posts so I can connect with you
00:41:00.180
It makes me happy to see that these people are really making great progress.
00:41:04.560
And guys, I got to say the pro and I know you notice this as well.
00:41:08.920
Um, the progress that people have fucking made in 75 days is absurd.
00:41:16.080
It's way more impactful than I even imagined it to be.
00:41:22.980
I'm really fucking proud of like, dude, anybody who's completed at 75 days for real, like,
00:41:40.960
In practical terms, guys, if you also share information about 75 Hard, Andy's got what
00:41:47.580
So tag me too, so that I, so that I see it and so I can respond to it.
00:42:10.160
No, I, what's, what's the easy, what's the easiest requirement of all of them?
00:42:25.780
And you, you could always tell who, who actually did it.
00:42:29.620
Because you'll ask them questions and if they're not going to.
00:42:33.000
Or it'll not be the answer that they should have.
00:42:35.360
I had one guy, I had actually two guys reach out and they were like, dude, I did it.
00:42:49.780
If you, if you didn't, if you fucking can look me in the fucking eye and say it didn't
00:42:54.100
do exactly what I told you to do, then you either didn't do it or you're lying.
00:42:59.240
Well, everybody will notice, uh, at certain stages of the program, you will, you will
00:43:05.320
evolve a certain way, you know, and everybody goes to those.
00:43:08.240
I feel, I feel like everybody that I've talked to have gone through those same like evolution.
00:43:13.620
Like, like, like, like I feel like every single person that I've spoken with the day
00:43:18.380
day, the first fucking 13 or 12 or 13 days are brutal.
00:43:23.080
And then also, uh, day like 50 through 60 is really hard for people that sucked.
00:43:31.100
Like, cause in the beginning, cause what happens is in the beginning you're excited and everybody
00:43:35.440
else is excited too, but then people stop giving a fuck and then you start to realize
00:43:39.600
why you're really doing it, which isn't for other people.
00:43:41.820
It's for you and then it like day 50, 60, you're fucking tired of it.
00:43:47.140
Like, like people have like gotten pregnant and had kids.
00:43:56.140
It's only, but like, dude, what I kept thinking about really, honestly, uh, like, dude, and
00:44:04.240
But like, for me, like the, the days I don't want to do shit, I, I, the question I asked
00:44:10.800
myself is, dude, are you happy with where you are in life?
00:44:21.280
Uh, and then it was, I don't know if you did this, but it was around that day 50 mark where
00:44:25.040
it started getting kind of hard and I had not implemented the rules that I had at the
00:44:32.980
Like I would create daily rules out to stick to the program.
00:44:37.720
Like I could not leave my house until, well, first off, as soon as I woke up before I did
00:44:44.920
Like it was the first fucking thing I did because there'd be five, seven times to where I would,
00:44:50.220
And like you, I would have to get up out of bed and take my fucking progress picture,
00:44:54.560
And it might only be 15 feet, but I'm like, fuck.
00:44:57.480
So I had to take the progress picture as soon as I got up and I, before I could leave my
00:45:04.000
Dude, I found myself doing that with the water too.
00:45:06.100
Because I know, because I know if I drink three or four bottles of water early in the
00:45:10.360
day, like 30% of the way, I'll get the rest of the water through with my meals.
00:45:15.000
Well, it was after that, that night to where I didn't have, where you had to drink that
00:45:21.520
So the next day I implemented that rule and then, you know, cause at work I'll drink four or
00:45:28.540
And then I could not leave the office on like, if it was a work day, I could not leave the
00:45:40.500
Even though I wouldn't leave the office till like 8 PM, I know everybody's going to have
00:45:45.840
And then, you know, obviously what was my other one?
00:45:51.940
I couldn't, obviously I couldn't go to bed till I read my 10 pages, but I always set
00:45:55.060
a side that time because that's when I was the most chill and I could dedicate my mind
00:46:02.420
Uh, but it was really, the thing I loved most about 75 hard is the way that I tried making
00:46:10.280
You know, like, well, that's how you know, that's how you know you're in it when you start,
00:46:14.460
when your intent is so specific that you start like trying to make it harder.
00:46:18.920
Well, it goes back to being aware that you're getting into a routine and you're going to end
00:46:24.640
Uh, you know, it was like what we would watch the weather to make sure like, all right,
00:46:29.360
Like we're not talking about doing extra work, so to speak.
00:46:32.360
We're talking about just making the work we were doing harder.
00:46:35.440
So like Tyler and I would like, we, we would be like, it would be like four or five o'clock
00:46:40.280
when everybody kind of here starting to wrap up their day and we're like, fuck, it's
00:46:49.740
I did it in 19 degrees in the snow and I did it in 98 degrees in the fucking heat.
00:46:59.640
Cause it's like nobody else is fucking doing this.
00:47:03.080
The dude, there's nothing better than doing your outdoor workout when it's shitty out
00:47:06.560
and knowing like everybody, like nobody else is willing to pay this price.
00:47:13.300
And what's funny is this past Saturday, uh, I was out partying with the blues.
00:47:19.080
Oh, you're going to try to drop your fucking big dick here.
00:47:21.400
But it was just such a, it was such a cool night.
00:47:23.900
And you know, I, people back of my place and it was just pissing down raining that morning
00:47:28.980
and the sun had just come up and it's, it's raining so hard and I'm in my jeans and everything
00:47:35.020
And I just walk outside and I just stand in the fucking rain.
00:47:40.760
It's funny about that is like, I've driven, I've, it's rained every day this week pretty
00:47:45.780
And I've driven my fucking K five blazer that doesn't have a roof every day.
00:47:50.360
And everybody's like, looking at me, like, look at this fucking idiot driving a convertible.
00:47:55.560
Didn't even look at the weather before you fucking care.
00:48:00.080
It's fucking raining inside my truck and I'm smiling, dude.
00:48:05.840
Larry actually out in the warehouse was with me on my balcony.
00:48:12.400
Yeah, dude, it's, there's just so many, I cannot wait for the book to come out so that
00:48:16.820
we can literally point out to people because there's so much shit that happens.
00:48:25.600
Like when you're having conversations with people and you're like, oh yeah, what about
00:48:32.440
And one last thing I'll say is it, if you haven't done it yet, what you're going to
00:48:37.220
realize is that, and I told this to Vaughn about the, in the book is in the beginning,
00:48:42.020
you're going to think that these things are taking time away from you, but they're actually
00:48:45.500
giving you time for yourself that you weren't given to yourself before.
00:48:52.460
Like this gave me time to work on my spirituality and that has been life changing for me.
00:48:58.360
You mean, you mean all the books I told you to read for the last fucking 10 years, you
00:49:05.760
It was more about like, it was more about like being with myself.
00:49:15.900
And if I had listened, I'd be, I'd be much further along and more hamper.
00:49:41.980
I mean, that's why I'm really excited that you are taking 30 days off because, you
00:49:49.120
Well, and that's, I took like two weeks off and I didn't do phase one.
00:49:52.480
I don't know when I'm going to start that yet, but I'm, I'm loving the fact that I'm
00:49:58.120
Like you see me still doing my outdoor workouts.
00:50:02.740
I'm still meditating and visualizing every day.
00:50:13.360
Like how much, how much better of a leader am I?
00:50:17.740
I already know I am because of like how they're responding to me.
00:50:24.140
Be a good leader is not me telling you you're a good leader.
00:50:26.400
It's your team fucking listening to you and responding and executing.
00:50:31.740
I've only been telling you that for 10 years, bro.
00:50:38.280
Look, speaking of this, I got to go get my fucking workout in because otherwise I won't.
00:50:51.200
Massive respect to you guys who are doing the program.
00:50:56.300
I'm really, really proud of all of you guys who are finishing the program and you guys
00:51:02.100
who are, you know, making a mistake and then starting over and having integrity and still
00:51:08.360
You know, don't think you're less than because you had to start over once or twice.
00:51:12.280
Now, if you're going to start over eight or nine times, dude, you got a fucking problem
00:51:21.160
Otherwise, guys, you're never going to be anything more than what you are.
00:51:24.260
And if you're not happy with what you are, you got to do something different.
00:51:38.420
Thank you for all the love that you guys show the show.
