I did not know.
I don't even know if we could talk about it on the show because it's like, first of all,
it made me embarrassed to be fucking Caucasian.
All right.
And like, can we as white
people get a little fucking little bit cooler yeah yeah a little bit yeah fucking a little
bit cooler bro it was bad okay what was it described to the people it was apparently
what it was that you saw it would be the equivalent of miley cyrus doing a hip uh rap vax pro vaccine video these motherfuckers okay first of all i
found imagine that i found out that that was new zealand not australia okay because i sent it to
all my australian friends like what the fuck is that no i said hey see motherfucker you motherfuckers
are nerdier than us and they got pissed off and they all sat back they're like that's new zealand
all right so let's talk about you new zealand people yeah bro what the fuck you guys doing they're making these they get these raps they made a rap song
about getting i don't even know i don't think we can call it rap bro like that was bad what was it
i don't know just a jar of fucking mayonnaise yeah so we got three questions for you man so
let's go ahead and knock this out um so the first question it's actually perfect because you
mentioned this uh you mentioned this.
You mentioned this hundreds of times, I'm sure, but you just recently mentioned this in the intro.
Value exchange.
So how do you personally, how do you determine someone's value?
And then I guess the flip side of that is how-
Definitely by their skin color.
Well, I mean, that's what I was assuming. According to the skin color well i mean that's what i was according to the mass media yeah that's what i was assuming yeah
totally yeah next question yeah right right but seriously how do you determine somebody's value
and on the flip side of that how does somebody really create value you know skills and well i
would i should say traits aside how do they create value well dude the
easiest way to create value is to look for the shit nobody's willing to do and fucking do it
real good that that's the easiest way to fucking become extremely valuable extremely fast um the
other way is to look for problems that need to be solved you know a lot the value is created from
the problems that need to be solved that
nobody's willing to acknowledge, right? That's where the most value is. The, the shit that
nobody wants to do. Nobody wants to acknowledge people want to look past. Um, they want to pretend
like there's bigger problems or this or that. And, and dude, like there's a shit ton of value
in solving problems, bro. Every great product that's ever been developed solved a problem um every great company that's ever existed uh solved a problem
you know what i mean some of them fucking create the problem then solve the problem as we're
finding out yeah you know uh so it's about fucking doing the shit that no one's willing to do man
and the harder the path uh usually the more value. And it's very simple. This is something that we inherently know as humans, but spend our whole
lives trying to avoid because we don't want things to be difficult. And when you embrace
the difficulties and embrace the idea that like, hey dude, I could become pretty valuable in the
marketplace or valuable inside of an organization by looking
for issues that need to be solved, anticipating those and solving them before they're even
issues.
That's the ultimate value.
Like if you become someone who can anticipate problems and solve them before they become
problems and then show how you did that, man, that's value.
Yeah.
You know, but people don't like to do that people like to show up
they like to come in with their fucking starbucks they like to eat a couple fucking donuts they like
to talk about the fucking kardashians they like to go home and sit on their fat fucking ass yeah
and that's the reality of humans and then they like to cry on instagram about why she didn't
go in their way so i don't have any sympathy for y'all can fuck off with your bullshit for real dude like this
political correct fucking society that that pretends like they don't know inherent things
like when you solve a problem you get rewarded uh or when you work hard you get rewarded like
i'm not like this is just fucking crazy yeah it's very simple bro if an idiot like me can figure it
out so can you it's just don't, you know,
most people are spending their whole lives trying to avoid it. That's dope. All right. Question
number two. Can you explain, this is actually a question I've had for, for a while. Um, but I know
your answer is going to be fucking amazing. Can you explain the difference between entrepreneur
and entrepreneur? Can you just give us a quick little rundown on that?
Yeah.
I mean, look, dude, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs are a special breed, man.
These are people that you like in the meme.
They'll jump off a cliff and build a motherfucking parachute on the way to fuck down, you know. And I think people who are entrepreneurs, they're able to move outside of the limits
and constraints of what typical society works.
They're free thinkers.
They're people who are good critical thinkers.
They're people who are comfortable with uncertainty.
And I think the uncertainty thing is the biggest part.
The biggest difference between a great entrepreneur
and a great entrepreneur is that the great entrepreneur
is totally comfortable being uncertain about what the fuck is going on,
whereas the great entrepreneur values that security a little bit more
and doesn't really want to go have their nuts on the line, so to speak.
You see what I'm saying yeah um the
principles of succeeding at both are very similar i mean they're the same you know it's just what i
said in the last answer it's it's finding uh you know if you're if you're the ceo um or the main
person in your business it's about identifying the problems and solving the problems as a company
uh if you're an entrepreneur it's about solving the problems as a company uh if you're an entrepreneur it's
about solving the problems within the company right and i you know what i mean so it's very
similar all the success principles are very parallel i just i think in my opinion from my
experience because it doesn't always equate like a lot of good entrepreneurs decide they're going
to go try to be entrepreneurs and they fucking crumble, dude. And there is a vast, and this is the problem with the internet right now.
The internet pretends as if being an entrepreneur is something that every single fucking human is
built for. And it's just not true. Most people will be fucking miserable as an entrepreneur.
You don't know where your next fucking dollar is coming from. You don't know somebody could walk in the door today and tell you something and do something that fucks up your
whole life. And that never changes, never fucking changes. And most people can't deal with that.
So, um, and it's a big disparity there. I think it's not something that converts easily for people
that just don't have the ability to handle that kind of pressure. So, and then also as an entrepreneur, um, if your company gets bigger and bigger, bigger,
you're, you're fucking responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of people sometimes. And bro,
that's a different kind of pressure that a lot of people don't really even think about, you know,
like they don't think about, uh, are, are their employees able to pay their bills or they don't get that shit.
And to be fair, bro, I'll be honest.
The entrepreneur life, if you're great, is way better.
It just is.
It's not as stressful.
You can make a fuck ton of money.
You don't have to take a lot of shit home with you mentally.
And you can turn it off. When you're an entrepreneur, you can't. fuck ton of money you don't have to take a lot of shit home with you mentally um and you could turn it off when you're an entrepreneur you can't never turns off them so if you're good so i mean like you know uh i think the biggest thing is is how how
how comfortable someone is uh dealing with dealing with the unknown, you know, will dictate how successful
they convert over from entrepreneur to entrepreneur. But I, like I said, I don't
think that a lot of people should, I think, you know, statistically, uh, 7% of humans are
entrepreneurs in America. Uh, 1% are what's considered successful. So, you know, there's a lot of great companies out there doing a lot of cool shit.
You know,
I don't know,
man,
like it's,
you got to figure it out for yourself.
I can't answer it,
but from my experience where I've seen people jump from entrepreneur to
entrepreneur,
um,
that's what kills them is their inability to deal with the uncertainty.
Yeah.
Awesome.
And to grind it out for a fucking, you know, a lot of people forget too.
And this is another point to mention that like when you're with established a company,
usually people are coming to you as customers, right?
And so a lot of people inside of an established company will believe that they could just
go do that on their own, but they haven't seen the part get the same
yeah yeah but they haven't seen the part where you know like 15 years ago when uh or let's say
what was it 2009 we made our first supplement here you know and and nobody would buy it because
we made it right because nobody thought that we were technical enough to make it they would say
shit like oh well you know well you make that shit in your bathtub you know so nobody knows
what it's like to build from there um when nobody wants you to this opposite side where everybody
wants you right yeah and when people get in that good climate over there they end up fucking
bolting out and realizing that like outside dude it's pretty fucking cold yeah it's a hard road dude it takes a long time and sometimes
that's what people need to do to respect the process and respect what's there yeah because
like a lot of people take that shit for granted you know i see i've been seeing this shit for a
number of years uh good employee great employees for a company decide they're gonna go do this
thing whatever the thing is they're gonna go do it on their own they're very very very rarely or very rarely successful very rarely and you know
it always starts the same a big this big ordeal on social media oh i'll fucking start my own thing
blah blah blah and they got they got their friends for a change yeah they got their friends and their
family say yeah good for you good for you good for you check back on that motherfucker in a year yeah shit six months it's a different story
okay so it's really fucking hard to get traction yeah and unless you're built to
walk that path that hasn't been cut yet being an entrepreneur is a great option yeah you know and
being a really really fucking good one most successful 99 of the successful people on the planet are entrepreneurs not entrepreneurs
that's real about that that's fucking real all right our third and final question um
over over the last 23 years in business andy and've actually, I've heard you say this a few times, right?
You've said that there was moments and various times that you wanted to quit.
Why didn't you?
What the fuck else am I going to do?
Look, dude, I don't have any other options.
I don't have a college fucking degree.
I don't have, I can't, well, I mean, now I could.
Like, now I could go get a job as a CEO or whatever somewhere, but like, um, for the longest time,
you know, I have fucking no options. So, uh, what, what am I going to do? I'm going to quit
and go fucking dig ditches. You see what I'm saying? That's what I talk about with zero
option mentality. People don't get it. The hardest fucking thing that you need to do is to convince yourself that you do not have options
Like when you convince yourself thoroughly like you literally do not have a fucking option but to go do this
Uh, you'll be surprised at how much harder you'll go at that thing and how much more success it'll bring to you
Right when you know that you the alternative of you, uh, you know,
your life is to go dig fucking holes for a living. Uh, it'll, it'll force you to do some
shit that you don't want to do, especially when you dug some holes before, you know what it's like,
you see what I'm saying? So, um, for, for, for the beginning entrepreneur, this is,
this is an easy thing, right? Cause you,
the first three or four or five years, like I really couldn't quit because I didn't have
anything to go to. Uh, but as you get older and as you get more mature and more successful,
especially, uh, this is actually what kills a lot of entrepreneurs and successful people.
Cause we all see these people right who
like make some shit and they start going and they get some money they get a house they get some cars
they fucking they get there then you know you check back in a year and they got a story about
how they had to reevaluate and readjust right they got some bullshit no motherfucker you lost your
shit right okay and the reason you lost your shit is because you walked
around and thought you fucking won and you didn't fucking win so how do you keep out of that
mentality of that you won when you actually haven't even really fucking started well there's a couple
things one you got to cultivate that idea that you don't have any other options but to succeed
okay there's no the only other option for me at this point,
like, dude, I still believe that.
Like, you heard me start to say it.
Like, I started to say it.
What else am I going to do?
What am I going to do?
Dig holes?
That's so ingrained in me that for me, it's still true.
You see what I mean?
Even though it's not true.
Fuck, dude, I could go get fucking eight figures a year
to run a bunch of companies.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
But I like this company and i
think it's going to beat all those companies so i stay here yeah but my point is is that the first
thing you got to do is convince yourself uh and remind yourself that like dude you you don't have
any other options but to go like what's your option bro half-ass your whole fucking life this
is true for all of you yeah well you're gonna half-ass your whole fucking life be a fat piece of shit lazy contribute nothing be unhappy with your body
and your fucking image and who the fuck you are your whole life and then die yeah that's not even
a life it's not even a fucking life and that's the life if you want an idea of what the media
is about that's the life they put on you remember what i talked about last what was that last show
was that cti where i talked about how they want everybody to be average and shit yeah
yeah motherfucker that's the proof right there you already know that that's true yeah you already
know that's not the life you want to live but you let these motherfuckers push that shit on you with
the marketing the message all this shit in society all these values they push come through Hollywood media, the fucking social media, big blue check accounts. And you're sitting here
thinking this is a conspiracy theory. Fuck dude. You are not meant to do that for your entire life.
So it's important that you remember that's your other option. Like that sounds like shit to me.
Now, some of you might probably not on this show but some people might be okay with that we're not okay with that here all right the other thing to remind yourself and
and and to do is like you know i post this thing on my story uh talking about how the difference
between me and everybody else is if everybody else was me they'd be out rolling fucking yachts and
dude i could do that shit litter and And you know this, I could do
this shit every fucking day, bro. I could be on a yacht every day, balling bigger than any, any
of the people you see online, not even fucking close. But what do you see? You see me in here
working my ass off. You see me in here sweating. You see sweat stains in my motherfucking hat. Okay. You know why? Because I know I ain't shit.
I don't believe the headlines about myself.
I don't believe like what other people see in me.
I know I'm a fucking ant in the game and my competitors, they're not other supplement
companies or other apparel companies or, or fucking, uh, or fucking, you know, industry
that no, no, dude dude my competitor is my potential
my competitor is what the fuck i could be and i know for damn well that i could be
easily as good as a phil knight or a fucking uh any of these motherfuckers so i'm gonna give it
hell to get there you know what i'm saying and so like dude while while other people think
that they like if you took a regular person
and served them in my life they'd be like oh dude fuck i'm king of the world motherfucker no that's
the difference i know i'm not shit that's why i show up every motherfucking day and give it
everything i fucking have and that has to do with the goals i set for myself okay when i look at
competitors i don't look at fucking uh other companies that are similar sizes as me. I look
at fucking iconic brands that have been around for 40, 50, 60, 70, 100 years. I look at Nike's.
I look at fucking Coca-Cola. I look at fucking Pepsi. I look at fucking McDonald's. I look at
Walmart. I ain't shit. And I'm very aware of it. The reason you
see these fuckers flossing around town in their fucking leased car is because they are comparing
themselves to the other motherfuckers that are doing that. I don't compare myself to those
people. I compare myself to these people who have built something iconic over a fucking lifetime. And guess what?
That keeps me going. That keeps me from realizing, uh, you know, that, that I'm,
I built a pretty good life and understanding that I got to keep moving, not just for me,
but for everybody else here and ever, all of our customers and everybody that's involved in
everything I do. Like, I want to take it as far as i can so that we can get the most benefit for that growth and dude uh you know people don't get that you know they get
a little coin they get a little flash and they fucking run wild and they lose their shit you
know so that's why i don't quit because i know i ain't shit and i got a long way to go and i i
remind myself of that every fucking day oh man, man. Yeah. Fuck, guys.
That was a van.
Fuck.
Well.
That's fucking three, man.
I mean, bro, look.
That's real shit.
Yeah.
You know, like, if you want to be fucking, if you want to be a legend, you better compare
yourself to motherfucking legends.
Not fucking Joe Schmo with fucking 687,000 Instagram followers who gets fucking 14 comments on his posts.
Okay.
So anyway, that's the show.
That's the show, man.
All right.
Love you guys.
Appreciate you guys.
