If you're unfamiliar, we are the biggest show in the world that does not run ads.
We ask very simply something in exchange for that.
And that's something is help us share the show.
Okay?
Instead of us filling your brains with 30 minutes worth of ads, we ask that you share the show.
We don't grow unless you share it.
So if it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it gives you new perspective.
If you learn something, which you will, do us a favor.
Don't be a ho.
Share the show.
I mean, unless you guys want the ads.
Yeah, yeah, we can just do ads.
You know what's going on, doc?
Sometimes I feel stupid for not doing it.
Yeah, it's a lot of shackles out there for that, bro.
Wrong word.
A lot of coin out there.
But unfortunately, I don't like listening to people.
Tell me what the fuck to say or not say.
Yeah.
It's just not in my DNA.
Yeah, no, I feel that, dude.
I feel that, man.
Let's see, shit's good, man.
Question.
Like, what's something you would change about you, like, besides the obvious?
What would you change?
What's the obvious?
What the fuck?
That's sounding kind of fucked up.
Is there something wrong with me?
I'm not aware of.
Oh, shit.
No, I just want to try to see if I get that over on you.
Yeah, dog.
Fuck, dude.
I mean, let's talk about that real quick, actually.
I mean, like, on the real side, you know what I'm saying?
How much is Andy change between who you are now, who sits here now versus a 19-year-old
you?
What's different?
No, I don't think.
a lot, man. You know, I think in the beginning, you know, I don't know, you don't know what the
fuck you're doing. And there's a level of like fear and uncertainty and anxiousness that comes
with being an entrepreneur. And I think as you get older and you start to understand what it's
really all about, that subsides quite a bit or you acclimate to it. I think there's a level of,
you know, confidence that I have now that I didn't have then. But I mean, I think that's natural
when you've done something for as long as I have.
Yeah.
You know, I think I'm a little more patient.
But, you know, pretty much the same dude.
Like, I've kind of always been that way, dude.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I've always, I've never, like, I don't know if that's good or bad,
but I've always been the same.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, staying authentically, staying true to who you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like that, you know, like, I don't know.
I feel like.
And sometimes it's weird because I see like all these other people trying to like,
it's like they like reinvent themselves over and over and over and over again.
And it's every time I watch them reinvent themselves, it's, it's like, well, why would you need
to reinvent yourself if you were an authentic person?
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like what is?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Like I think you're so afraid.
I think people are so afraid of being who they actually are.
that they create these masks or avatars to present to the world
that they call reinvention and growth,
when in reality it's just another thing
that allows them to hide behind it.
Yeah.
And I think we lack people who are willing to be cool
with who the fuck they are.
You know what I mean?
And it's funny to each time they reinvent themselves,
they actually get further away from their authentic self.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, and it's supposed to be getting closer to it.
Yeah, man.
And, and, uh,
you know, and then I think there's a lot of people who are just massive manipulators, dude.
You know, they manipulate people over and over and over again.
Like, you know, they start off one way.
Then they kind of get found out that that's bullshit.
Then they do something else and they kind of get discovered that that's bullshit.
And then, you know, they ultimately end up where all these people end up, which is found Jesus.
That's right.
Yes.
That's exactly right.
Hallelujah.
Because people won't criticize them.
Yeah.
You can't, yeah, it's hard to.
You know what I'm saying?
So like you have, and that's why organized religion attracts so many fucking snake oil people
because nobody's willing to criticize someone who's claiming that they have found Jesus.
That's right.
That's right, bro.
Fuck, that's so crazy.
Yeah.
That's how that works.
It is how it works.
You know, like you'll see dudes, you know, they'll do this, they'll do that,
till they'll do this, do that.
And then they'll be like, I am redeemed and I'm a new person.
And then they're just trying to like, fuck with people under that guys.
That's right.
You know?
That's right.
So, you know, I don't know, man.
Like, I've always felt like the same person.
I feel like the same person that I was when I was 16 years old.
You know, I just look in the mirror and I see gray shit now.
You know?
A little bit more gray.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, man.
Well, guys, it's Q&AF.
Let's make some people better.
Again, we got these video submissions.
Guys, click the link in the description.
Submit choice.
Ask the questions.
Let's get your first one.
We've got video submission here.
Let's check it up.
Hi, Andy.
DJ, much love for the show. I'm 22 and I'm currently running four ventures. One is more
less a show like the School of Hardnucks where I help entrepreneur share the story. I've got two
businesses that work as SaaS where we're selling tools to do different stuff and the last venture
is a kind of consultancy for automation. Now my question is with the four ventures I'm running
it kind of feels like I'm doing a bit too much
and there's not really an avenue for me to push one directly
without affecting the others
and I've seen videos online saying you have to focus on one
and try to grow as much as you can
and others also say you can diversify
and try to build multiple things at the same time
now I want to be that guy who said you know what
I don't care I'm just going to try and push all four together
and see where it takes me by the same time
I don't know if that's a right call to make
because people like yourself and other people
who start off with one and push that,
then they can go into different things,
work better.
So I was going to ask you,
what part of these things should I take?
Should I take the running four ventures together
and seeing how that goes and seeing it's going to be successful
or should I just take one and push that as much as I can
and then the others will then come after?
So just for context,
I'm just about six months-ish in,
into the entrepreneurial journey.
So I don't really have that much experience.
I'm just starting out.
So any advice you have would be appreciated.
Thanks so much again for the show and hope this makes sense.
It makes total sense.
A lot of people, a lot of people do this.
You know, they read all of these things.
They hear all these people online say all of this stuff about, you know,
the average millionaire has seven streams of income.
You see all these young people that say, I own 19 companies.
And dude, it's all bullshit.
It's all bullshit.
Because let me tell you something.
You said it.
You don't have the experience yet.
Yeah.
Okay.
So how can your inexperienced, no matter how hard you work, how can your inexperienced effort compete with the person who has experience who is choosing to do just one of those things?
And the answer is you cannot.
It's a fucking impossible.
Okay.
Building one thing is extremely difficult.
And people that think that they can spread.
out amongst all of these things. Yes, you can when you're 40 fucking years old and you're worth
$500 million. Okay. Now you have the ability to hire other executives, people who have built
things, experienced operators. And then you can have one meeting and you say, hey, this guy,
this guy, this guy, what's up? And you can direct traffic that way. But where you are in the
journey, you will lose if you try to spread yourself as thin as you are. I promise you, dude.
And I'm not saying that because, you know, I think you're lack skill.
I'm saying this for anybody.
This goes for anybody.
It's math.
It's real shit.
Okay?
If you have a guy who runs X and you are also running a competitor to X and he's putting
in 100% of his effort.
Okay.
And you're putting in 33.333% of your effort because you have two other things that you're running.
It's impossible to win.
It doesn't matter if they're even, if they could be worse than you.
and they're still going to beat you.
They're going to move faster than you.
They're going to learn faster than you.
They're going to be more committed than you.
And that's the game, especially in the beginning.
A couple of things you said that were interesting.
You said you have four things.
You actually have three things.
And then you have a funnel.
Okay.
You have a show to create awareness that gets you in contact with these SaaS companies
that you're building that allow you to sell to those people or get to know those people
or create awareness for those companies.
That is part of what you're going to need to do.
That is part of your marketing.
That is part of your brand.
So I wouldn't count that as one of your things.
Okay.
So now you have three other things.
Are these three things somewhat related?
Are they verticals of each other?
Can you bring these three different things into one thing?
Can, you know, you have the main thing that's at,
and then you have x plus one x plus two can you take one aspect of x plus two one
expects of x plus one and then add it to x and create just one thing that has to be
managed okay the proper way to do this the way that's going to find you the most
success and I know this this isn't me guessing I know this for sure and anybody
who disagrees they're fucking wrong and I'm happy to fucking open up my fucking
financial statements and compare them against theirs I promise you I
I'm right.
They're fucking wrong.
If you try to spread your shit to three different things and then also have the funnel,
you're going to fucking lose.
So how can we get this into one thing?
Okay.
And then use the funnel to drive the one thing.
Once the one thing is rolling, you know, I don't know what rolling would consist of for what
you're trying to do, but it's going to be eight figures.
It's more than a million bucks.
It's more than 10 million.
bucks once you get to a 10 million dollar thing you now to even get to 10 million you've got to
learn all these lessons you've got to learn all these things you got to do all these things you got to make
all these mistakes you're going to now you have the experience to branch off and vertical out into
other things okay this is the proper way for a young man who's six months in to view this yeah okay so
what is it take away your show continue with that that might need to evolve or do something else
That's its own thing because you need to have awareness.
You need to have a personal brand, especially in this era.
That's its own thing.
Now, how can you take the one main thing and make that successful so that these other things can then materialize off of that?
Can we talk a little bit?
Because it's funny, like, you know, you see a lot of these young guys getting in, you know, saying they're entrepreneurs, right?
But the part that he said, you know, he's aware that he's unexperienced.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah, can we talk?
I would have went a lot harder had he not said that.
No shit.
Yeah.
I mean, like, how important is having that humility, your definition?
It's the most important thing.
Especially because if you're not humble and you think you're fucking good, then you can't get better.
The minute you think you know shit, how can you learn shit?
So the fact that he says, I'm very inexperienced is a massive, massive, massive indicator that this man's
probably going to go out and be successful.
Okay, the fact that he's even asking the question
Most men at his age, he's a young guy
Are going to say well I can fucking do this
And if Steve over there on the internet's doing six
I could do seven right
Dude, you got to realize
99% of these people online are full of shit
They are full of shit
This is why you can't see their businesses
This is why when they talk about their you know
Oh, I own 22 companies
What the fuck are they and where can I see him
And where can I order the product and what do they do?
Right. And then they consider things like, oh, I invested $10,000 in this company that I don't even have any operational say in and that's my company.
Right. So there's all kinds of like razzle dazzle, fucking bullshit that's happening. That's a shell game to make people appear more credible that really hurts people because it shows people like him. Well, this must be what I have to do to get to that level. When in reality, it's the opposite of what they're doing. So where did that idea come from, I guess?
I mean, there's no like a word you'll get for like how many companies you have, right?
There's no like entrepreneur fucking metal for that, right?
Like, where did that idea come from?
Well, there's that saying, you know, the average millionaire has seven streams of income.
And that's been like a meme on the internet since the dawn of time.
Whoever made that is an asshole.
I don't think it's that.
It's that.
Look, dude, that's not what it is.
That might be true for someone who's 20 years in the game.
Yeah.
Okay.
That might be true for someone who's 30 years in.
It might be true for someone who's 15 years in, but it's not true in the beginning.
Okay, you don't just say, okay, well, I want to be a millionaire, so I'm going to over seven fucking things.
Like, that's not how you're going to do it.
What people think it takes and what it actually takes are two different things.
And what people think it takes from online is not the reality of what it takes, not just from an effort standpoint or from a tactical, structural, strategic standpoint.
And so when you ask where it comes from, I think it comes from the overzealous and, you know,
sometimes, a lot of times, unethical marketing practices of people who are just honestly full of
shit.
So that's real, man.
Yeah.
That's real.
Well, hell yeah, man.
Let's get our, let's get our next question in.
Let's do it right in.
This question is, Andy, thank you for indirectly helping sharpen my skills.
I've learned that passion can sometimes be mistaken for ego or aggression.
As someone who's naturally intense, what are some ways I can channel that intensity into a high value skill set?
I mean, dude, the good thing about passion is that it creates obsessiveness.
And to get good at something, to get great at something, it requires obsessiveness that is niched down into that skill set.
And being an entrepreneur, you have to have many different skill sets.
And that intensity, that urgency, that obsessiveness allows you to learn those skill sets at a much more rapid pace than someone who's a passive type person or who's like a, you know, well, you know, should have worked out the way it works out.
And I'll learn what I need to learn.
No, that person.
Yeah, that person's going to get killed by the obsessive person.
Okay.
So, you know, what are some tactical ways to do that?
Bro, just pour your will to win and your urgency into actually learning new skill sets.
As much as you can.
Like, be a sponge, bro.
I will say this with a caveat.
You got to be careful what information you're sponging up because just like the question we just answered.
There's so much misinformation that you could sponge the wrong shit up and it can have you in a really bad spot.
So you got to be you got to lack the awareness to understand how to vet someone as real or as just a good marketer.
There's two different things.
So let me let me explain something to you.
All these people that are online and they, you know, they market that they know all of these things about business.
If they really knew those things about business, instead of.
of actually just selling coaching or selling programs for, you know, a couple hundred
thousand dollars or whatever a month or maybe, you know, a million dollars a month, okay, maybe.
Don't you think that they would use those skill sets to build something that had billions of
dollars of equitable value on the backside?
Don't you think they would do that?
If they could do that, wouldn't they do that?
It wouldn't be needing your money.
That's right.
That's right.
That's real.
Okay.
So, so like if they're out there saying,
they know what to do.
It's like how many of these people are out here like trying to coach people on their
social media personal brand that don't have a fucking personal brand.
Got 300 followers.
Yeah.
And their, their views on their fucking stories get a couple thousand views.
10,000,000 views, whatever, do?
You don't have personal brand either.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So like there's all talking heads, bro.
There's millions of talking heads and there's very few reels.
All right.
Real entrepreneurs that know the motherfucking game.
You know what they do?
They build fucking companies.
Playing the game.
Yeah.
Let me ask you this, dude, because I know you have a talk or a point that you make about, you know, turning, you know, like negativity.
Now, now to that, to that point, there are people that coach that take their coaching business.
Yeah.
And then they use that money to build real companies.
Okay.
But they're doing it backwards.
They didn't learn the shit.
Yes, right.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So, I'll just let this.
I'll apply this now.
Now, now, look, there's all kinds of funnels and there are all kinds of systems.
and there's all, I'm not shitting on coaching dude at all because if you do have a skill set,
we live in an era where you can sell coaching about something that you actually know.
But most people don't do it the right way.
Like if you, like let's say I knew how to play the guitar really fucking well.
Okay.
And I said, okay, I'm going to fucking sell guitar lessons digitally somehow, right?
I'm going to teach you how to play the guitar.
And I come up with this unique way to coach people to play the guitar.
I'm going to take that money.
and I'm gonna fucking reinvest that cash into
something that has enterprise value on the backside, right?
So I'm gonna take that money that I'm cash flowing here
and I'm not gonna go buy a fucking hurricane
and I'm not gonna go, you know, spend all my money
on trying to go on fake vacations to mecanose and shit, right?
I'm gonna take that money and I'm gonna come up with my own guitar string company
and I'm gonna market that with the cash that's coming here.
And then one day I'm gonna sell my guitar string
company to Gibson for fucking $500 million.
Okay.
That is the proper way to think about what's happening right now.
And there's, you know, we've seen this, dude.
How many people have we seen come around and they're coaching this and then they're
doing that and then they're doing this and then they start these businesses and then the
businesses never go.
Like I could think of a, I could think of 10 people off the top of my head that run coaching
programs that keep saying, well, we started this business, we started that business, started
and those business never go anywhere.
You know why?
Because they don't know how to run a fucking business.
Well, you notice, too, that they never say, I'm going to teach you how to run a business like me.
Yeah.
I'm just going to teach you how to run it.
It's whatever.
Well, dude, and it plays into people's egos, right?
Like people, people want things fast.
They want things easy.
And, and, you know, that is one of the pillars of marketing.
Yeah.
Somebody saying they got the secret sauce.
That's right.
It's just not true.
Yeah.
It's just not true, dude.
Yeah.
I've yet to meet someone who knows how to really build a company that's worth something on the back side.
that decides not to so that they can self fucking do content on the internet.
Yeah.
I want to ask you this on this question because I know you talk about this in reference
to like taking negative energy and turning that into productive action, applying that
to bettering yourself.
So are you saying that you could do the exact same thing with this, you know, obsessed, passionate
mentality also?
It's kind of the same system there, right?
Well, I mean, dude, when you're fucking passion obsessed, I mean, it's just the way you are.
Like, it doesn't come on in waves.
Yeah.
Like, I'm fucking intense about everything I do.
Like everything.
I drive fast.
I ride fast.
I talk fast.
I fucking do.
I fucking do.
I talk fucking direct.
I talk, fucking direct.
Everything I do is that.
So learn that way.
You know what I mean?
Like when I was, you know, learning the right shit.
Dude, I was reading.
I was obsessed with reading books.
books before, you know, the online influencer thing, which I think this is the biggest mistake
that people make. I think that they should take their effort that they do consuming other
people's content on the internet and go read fucking books from people that actually did shit.
Okay. I was obsessed with that. I would read book after book after book after book,
relentlessly because I wanted to know more and more and more and more and more because I knew
it was going to help me win. So like it wasn't like the negative energy.
where like, you know, someone does or says something and then I'm kind of like fucking pissed off in the moment.
It's just how you do shit.
Yeah.
You know, like you're either urgent or you're not.
You're either intense or you're not.
You're either passionate or you're not.
And when you're a passionate person and you're intense and you're urgent, when things aren't moving fast, you actually feel really fucked up.
Like it's a hard thing.
Like my hardest days are the weekends.
That's it.
Like most people live for the weekends.
Yeah.
My hardest days of the week.
The days I look forward to the least are Saturday and Sunday because it's slow.
And it's hard for me to deal with slow.
Like I feel like I got to solve some problems.
I got to fucking go.
And people will hear that and they'll say, well, you're fucked up.
Yeah, you know what, dude?
You kind of got to be fucked up to choose the path that I've chosen.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it's a different path.
You don't get, you don't get.
You don't get, you don't get to the level I'm at being a normal fucking human being.
Okay.
There's going to be tradeoffs.
Being in a great entrepreneur, being an effective entrepreneur, you're going to have trades.
There's no balance, dude.
It's obsessiveness.
And, you know, it's a different kind of life.
Yeah.
It's just a different kind of life.
And this is why I tell people, it's not for everyone, man.
You know, everyone thinks that they want to own a business or that they want to.
want to be an entrepreneur. And a lot of people get into it because it's so popular and they're like,
God, dude, this, this is fucking terrible. And I get that because it is terrible. Okay. You kind of get
to be a little sick, right? You kind of be like a guy who like enjoys the fucking fight, you know,
and that's not everybody. And that's okay. That's okay. It's okay to be a great entrepreneur.
It's okay.
And in fact, I think there's a massive benefit for a lot of people to just be a great
contributor to the team because they don't have to take the fuck.
Dude, and I don't say this to like Brad, and I'm not saying this as even a good thing.
And it'll probably kill me one day.
That's the truth.
But if I took an average person, you know, everybody looks at people like me and they're
Like, oh, I bet he doesn't do shit and he gets to fuck off all day.
Dude, if I took an average person and I put them in my chair for three days, they'd be in a fucking psych ward.
With the amount of problems and the amount of stress and the amount of shit coming their way,
it would break them in three fucking days.
Real shit.
It's just not for everybody, dude.
It's just not.
And that's not a bad thing.
You know what I mean?
Like your life should be something.
that you enjoy as much as you work hard
to have the life that you want.
You should also enjoy that life.
What people don't understand about, you know,
like true builder, warrior fucking killer entrepreneurs
is that is what they enjoy.
Enjoy it.
Yeah.
And so it's like a,
it's like all that shit that you perceive as,
as like,
you know,
oh my God,
this is so fucking hard.
I perceive it as hard too,
but I also perceive it as fuck,
I fucking,
This is what I'm built for.
Now, was there a flip in that, though?
Or was it always, like, did you always enjoy that?
Or did you learn to enjoy it?
No, no.
Actually, for a long time, I was unaware that I actually liked it.
So, like, I would listen to what other people say, and they'd be like, oh, this is so fucking hard.
It's fucking killing me.
And I'm like, fuck me too.
This fucking killing me.
And then I had a friend of mine pointed out to me.
And he was like, hey, dude, warriors need a fucking war.
certain people are built for that certain people are those kind of people and the world needs those
kind of people and you're one of those people that's why you don't do good well with like being on
the lake drinking a beer that's not your fucking thing dude that's okay you see what I'm saying
and so got to have them once I was aware of it yeah that allowed me to stop feeling bad about it
and that was like a big relief for me yeah you know what I mean yeah absolutely so now I don't think
now I don't think anymore like oh man I'm just
fucked up. Now I think I'm just different. This is a different kind of dude. You know, and that's
okay. Most people aren't going to understand that, dude. I don't expect them to anymore. I don't
expect it. I don't expect other people to understand how I tick or what makes me the way I am or
anything like that. But I will tell you that every single entrepreneur that's that you know,
that's like famous, that's built something big, that is like household name big. And
they're all built like that fucking all of them no matter what they appear on the outside they might be
the sweetest guy it's right they might be the nicest guy they might have their PR down to a fucking
science and they come across bro that motherfucker will eat your fucking dinner off of your plate
you know what I'm saying absolutely yeah and and uh and like you know it like it's just you know
I used to think that I was fucked up because I was uh I was like that and
nobody I knew was like that because I was at a level where like I wasn't connected to these
guys who had done these bigger things. And the first thing that really allowed me to realize
that there were more people like me was reading Tim Grover's book Relentless. And then I was like,
oh, okay, well, maybe I'm not totally messed up. Yeah, yeah. But then as I've gotten, you know,
as I've gotten more successful and I'm involved in more things, I've connected with other
entrepreneurs who are older than me and further down the path I've come to
understand that they're all that way all of them they're all that way yeah yeah I
love they fucking love it they like I don't even I can't you know how like a
little kid loves ice cream truck yeah that's how those entrepreneurs like
problems mm-hmm oh that's fucking problem we could do this we do that and they
gets their creativity spinning and that's what they love I love it so I love it hell
yeah man let's get
get to our next one we've got another video here check this one out what's up andy i'm 25 years old
my name's joan i'm a husband i'm a father of two boys and i'm at a point where i don't like where i'm at
in my life i feel like i'm lacking a purpose i feel like i don't know where to go i wake up with
all these ideas of all these business ideas and stuff they ever want to do and i don't act on them
i've completed 75 hard two times never the full program but i know what it feels like to develop these
skill sets. And a lot of them, like you say, are perishable. And I feel like I'm at a point
where I'm experiencing that. I'm undisciplined. I'm not a man of my word. And, but I want a
bigger life for myself. I feel that feeling where I'm going to fucking make a huge impact. I'm
going to build a massive wealth for my family and all this stuff. My heart is helping men,
helping men become the best versions of themselves. And being better husband, better fathers,
making more money, getting in shape all this shit, doing what no one said they can do. But I feel like,
I'm not qualified. And I know you're probably going to say no one's fucking qualified. But I'm
at a point where I feel like I'm lacking a purpose.
I want to serve people.
I like speaking.
I like doing all this stuff, man, but I'm struggling right now.
I'm struggling to just find something and get after and just fucking go full steam ahead,
knowing that this is for me.
So if you can just give me some advice that would help me develop into the man that I want to become,
thank you.
Oh, man.
I feel that.
That's, you know, I think even when you choose something,
there's always going to be that question of should I have chose something else.
And I think that with maturity, you have to come to terms with the idea that you chose this and not those things and be okay with the choices that you made and be the best at that thing.
Even at my age and my experience, I still struggle with what he's struggling with, with these ideas and these things that I could do, but I haven't done.
and so I totally feel that dude and I think that's a I think that's the sign of someone who
knows internally that they are called to something greater that is not acting on it and when you
say you're not a man of your word I think the reason that you feel that way is probably because
you're not a man of your word to yourself and the first thing I would recommend to you dude is
if you know that it's perishable like I've taught you and you know that you've slipped they've
perished let's get back on the program okay okay let's start today the minute you hear this
answer let's start 75 hard and let's start fucking rebuilding those skill sets that's the first step
but the other step there's there's there's three things that you got to realize here no one's
going to listen to you if you're not credible. Okay. And I can understand you wanting to help and
speak and do all these things. But remember, that didn't come from me until I was 15, 16 years
into my thing. So what are you going to build that's going to create that credibility to where
people are going to want to hear your story? See, we live in an age where everybody gets on the
internet and yaps away. But the reason that most people are ignored is because they have nothing
credible to attach to all right so what's that thing what's what's that what's that thing it doesn't
even have to be a business what is this thing that you're going to do that is so great and so cool
and so impactful and so inspiring that you're going to be able to gain an audience that's going to
want to hear about that all right don't put the cart before the horse all right you're 25 dude
you're allowed to change your fucking mind you you you can
could change your mind dude you could change your mind you could be 50 and you could change your
fucking mind where you are in life is not a life sentence dude you have the ability to change your
mind and i'm not saying go get a divorce and fucking fuck your kids i'm saying you could do that with that
okay but you don't have to sit there and suffer knowing that you could be great and then i can tell you
what's going to to cause your your life to to be wasted
is you sitting there being aware of what it is that you crave to do and you have that internal
voice that's telling you you should do this or that or be this and you ignore that voice.
That's where most people waste their lives because that vision of yourself that is put
inside of you that is put there by God. You are built to take that internal vision and make it an external
reality that benefits not only you, but everybody around you. And if you ignore that,
you are going to feel like you don't have a purpose and that you live for no purpose. And the
last thing you want to do as a 25 year old man is to waste the opportunity of your youth to your 50
and then be like, man, I could have done this and not this. And the hard answer to this,
guys, is that you have to make a choice. Okay. And in a time and
place where we see so many people on the internet doing so many different things, the choices seem
like they're infinite and it makes it very hard to make a choice. It's a paradox of choice.
When there's too many choices, people choose none. And so it paralyzes people. And most people
don't lose in life because they're lazy or they're bad people or they're this or
they're that. They don't ever choose because they can't. And so you have to,
have to make a choice, man.
And if I were to give you any advice, I would say for you to get back on the program,
get your mind right, get your confidence starting to go the right way, and then be thinking,
like, what is the thing that I can do?
And narrow it down, niche it down, make a decision, and then fucking go do it.
Other good things will come from that, man.
I feel that, dude.
Like, that's a real struggle.
I think for most, I think if you ask most men.
who were raised the way of like I need to be the provider I need to build things I have to take care of people
you know like these people will say like yeah men only care about one thing bro most people have
no idea what men deal with they have no idea of the pressures of society they have no idea of
the pressure of you know the obligations that they have you know to provide protect be a good man
do the right things and it's a constant struggle dude and you know I think if you were to I think
you know if if this guy were to ask any man that was honest with them they would say that
they struggle with those things and I think that's just a part of developing as a man um but
the fact I would say here's the good news the good news is that most people your age aren't
even fucking thinking like you're thinking they're thinking like oh man you know
I want to this weekend I'm going to do this and this I'm going to do that and you're talking about like how aware you are of like the kind of man that you're becoming yeah and that's a dude at 25 years old that's really fucking good shit man I wouldn't think in that oh no dude I wasn't either I wasn't either so I think you're in a good spot man a lot better than what you think and I know that when you're 25 you have the perspective of only being 25 so you feel like you're old because you're the oldest you've ever been but 25 is fucking young.
Dude.
It's the youngest you're ever going to be.
Yeah.
And it's young and it's a real young.
People will say, oh, well, 40's young.
No, 40's still kind of young.
Okay.
25 is legitimately, unarguably young.
And if you don't make a choice, bro, it's going to be another year.
And then another year and then another year.
And then it's going to be 10.
And then it's going to be 15.
And then it's going to be like, oh, I wish I should, it could, or would it.
And then you're going to really feel bad.
So I think making that choice is just,
one of the hardest things for people to do,
especially when we are constantly observing so many people
and their highlight reels of what it is that they do.
Yeah, but there's seven streams of income.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's real.
So, I mean, so your advice is he needs to do 75 hard today when he hears this.
He needs to start on that and then figure something out and do it today.
Yeah.
And then realize that that thing that you're going to build, create, become.
is in five years going to give you the opportunity to talk about it to help other people,
right? Like people wouldn't listen to me if I didn't have the entrepreneurial success that I've
had. They wouldn't listen to me. I'd just be another talking head. And I think this is the problem
with a lot of people. A lot of people decide that they want to make content about success,
but they haven't had any real success in their life. And I can see this very clearly, but, but some
people can't because I'm on the other side of the perspective you can't know about success if you
haven't experienced it so most of these people that write these things and say these things
and they don't have anything attached to them they're just borrowing this language or stealing it
from someone who's actually done it and rewording it so like it's not there's no substance there
and if you were to get that person on a stage and then like hit them with some real shit
They'd be frozen.
They wouldn't know what to say.
Couldn't do it.
That's real, man.
So, you know, what is it that you're going to build that's going to allow people to want to hear the story?
That's the decision that you need to make.
Love it, man.
Well, guys, Andy, that was three.
All right, guys.
Let's go out and get better this week.
Don't be a ho.
Show the show.
We're sleeping on the flow.
Now my jury box froze.
Fuck a pole.
Fuck a stole.
Counted millions in a cold.
Bad bitch, booted swow.
Got her own bank row.
Can't fold.
Just a no headshot case closed
