What is up guys, it's Andy Frisella and this is the show for the realest. Say goodbye to
the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today we have Q and AF. Is that right? I don't
even know where the fuck I am right now. Someday it'll just be like that. So this is where DJ is
going to ask me some questions that you guys submit, and it can be about anything. So, uh, we do three and we keep it
short. It's easily consumable and, uh, educational. And if you find value in the show, if you think
it's something that benefited you, if it taught you something, if it made you laugh, made you
learn, if it made you a better talk about the show. Okay. And this show is a dynamic show.
Like we're going to talk about making money.'re going to talk about getting fit we're going to talk about what the fuck's going on in the world um so yeah so usually on
the q and a s we talk about uh more personal development how to win type stuff and then
you know on the ctis we kind of humorously take a stab at what the fuck this world's coming to
yeah and then um and then we
have long formats which we haven't done in a while we're gonna kick back up uh and then we have real
talk so you never know what you're gonna get how many licks does it take to get the center of that
tootsie pop baby you didn't know that a lot i don't know what that is wow yeah okay all right
all right bro i'm telling you i i'm really happy. I feel like I'm blessed. I was right on that good generation cusp where I went for a long period of time.
You know that everybody thinks that, right?
Well, I mean, no, but I genuinely know that, though.
This is the fucking phases of life, right?
Yeah, okay.
20 years old, all right, fuck, this is cool.
Everything's cool, right?
Yeah, it's not that bad.
30 years old, I'm cool.
Everybody else is fucked up. 40 years years old we're all fucked 50 years old i don't give a fuck if we're fucked up
that's how it goes all right so that's some real shit yeah it's true but like i feel like i went
long enough without having technology you know i'm saying like i was right on that cusp and maybe it
was just my parents like my mom like i don't know but like well there's no doubt the technology is regressing the uh bro they did
a study they did kids and like their iqs are like 25 percent lower i know and you know you guys know
i i'm passionate about a lot of things but like from a real like being real like we got to draw
the line at that technology somewhere or we're going
to fucking destroy the earth. Right. Like when you talk about robots doing people's jobs and
driving trucks and all this shit and everybody's like, oh, that's so cool. Well, just because
shit is cool doesn't mean we should do it. You know what I mean? And we got to have some sensible
leaders that aren't going to take money from these big tech companies and these technology
companies to allow technology companies to,
to allow these things to happen.
You know what I mean?
Guys,
we gotta be smart about what we're supporting.
We have to,
you know,
like that.
I,
we can,
it can always be solved with how you vote with your dollars.
You know,
if you're spending your money with companies to hire real people versus
technology,
can you call the company and get someone on the phone?
Um,
those things matter to me and they should matter to you too.
Not because of like how, not just because of how, you know, much better of an experience it creates for you, but also because what it does for our country. You know what I mean? Like we
got to have jobs here, guys, that we got to have shit to do. I know that there's a big part of the
generation right now, you know, of the 20, you know, the 15 to 20 year old guys out there and the young guys listening.
And when I say guys,
I mean guys and girls,
um,
you know,
that think this is all really cool.
Right.
But you guys got to have a wider perspective of what this means.
You know what I mean?
The implications.
Right.
And that,
you know,
look,
we got a lot of work to do,
but we could start with agreeing that not all technology is good, you know.
So anyhow, let's get started.
Yeah, man. So I got three questions for you guys.
As always, you can email your questions in to ask Andy at Andy for seller dot com.
Email those in. They can be about anything.
And without further ado, let's knock these out.
Let's go.
So question number one, Andy.
So in 2016 is when you started that your your personal dude what's funny is today is january
4th and this was the day it was january 4 2016 i had no idea i just thought about that this morning
i was gonna make a post about it today actually crazy like i'm probably gonna post like by the
time you read this you'll see a post of fat andy on my instagram from yesterday
that's awesome yeah and it was actually exactly that day guys we did not talk about yeah no
there's no way you really could have known that no i didn't know it was exact day yeah um i thought
about it today and i was like man that's fucking i did my little finger count you know i still
couldn't figure out how many years ago it was uh but hey, you know, it's been a minute. Yeah.
It feels good.
You know, like I was telling Taylor, I had my first therapy session today on my shoulder
and things are going very well.
I'm ahead of the game.
I haven't gained any weight.
I'm 256 right now.
Pretty lean.
Yeah, man.
I'm, I'm, listen, you guys ain't ready for what I'm about to bring.
Like, like I'm going to bring like like i'm gonna be
way better physically way better well in every area but way better physically than i was even
last year so i'm excited about that no it's gonna be fucking sweet but but dude like when so when
you were going through that like when you when you decide okay i gotta i gotta get my shit together
right and you made that fucking amazing transformation was there like what exactly
made you say i gotta share this with the world like i need people to see this man dude
is that the question yeah fuck well first of all that was really hard to fucking do um because
like a lot of people um you know for years i for years I told myself like, ah, it's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
You know,
I found myself wearing outfits,
uh,
consistently that hid that I was fat.
Right.
Got to remember,
dude,
like we first form was still at the top of the business.
We were already at the top of our industry at that time.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying know i'm saying like we have
we have pushed the industry forward and a lot of companies have benefited from the push that we get
and bro by the way i'm happy for that like that's america you know i'm saying i love that other
companies have progressed because of where we've pushed you guys i love that but at the time
bro you know like i was really like dude you know you're not fooling anybody is what I'm saying.
You know what I mean?
And like, dude, I'd be up on stage and I'm 300 fucking 50 pounds talking about discipline.
You know what I mean?
I just felt like a fucking hypocrite, dude.
And I felt like everybody knew anyway.
And I just wanted to kind of call myself out on my own shit and say, hey, guys, you know what?
I know.
I know what the
fuck I am. You know what I mean? Like, I don't need you like every Instagram comment, every video,
everything I had, people call me a fat fuck, you know? And by the way, they were right.
You know what I'm saying? And it, it, it drove me to action. Um, you know, nowadays people want
to say, Oh, that's triggering because you're fit and you have your shirt. Well, it should be,
it should trigger you to move your fucking fat ass. Okay. So that's why I'm so like, I don't apologize for that. Like,
bro, I'm not buying your shit. I know what the lies are. We tell, cause I was there. I was there
and I lied to myself for years and years and years and years. And, uh, I could talk about this all
day by the way. Um, but I got to a point where I was like, you know, dude, it's very obvious that I'm fat as fuck.
Everybody fucking sees it.
And, uh, if I don't get my shit together, like there's no way we're going to progress
our company to where I want it to go.
Like who the fuck wants to buy shit from somebody who's, you know, at that time there's eight
guys working for us.
Right.
Um, who's the fit, you know, who's fucking fat. And, uh, so I, I, I realized like I perform
and I've learned this since then. And this is true for you too. You just don't know it yet,
but I perform way better when pressure's high. Like when I put a lot of pressure on myself and
this is for everybody, the more pressure you have, the better you will perform. Uh, once you
start performing, you know, a lot of people get locked up by the pressure.
And yeah, so like, dude, I just made it a do or die situation.
You know what I'm saying?
And at that time, Tyler was here and me and Tyler came up with the idea for the video
to just get a video of me getting out of bed.
And bro, I mean, I don't know if you've seen that video but
i was fucking big dude and uh and which is so crazy because you're not like you don't even look
like i don't even look the same that looks like that could be your uncle paulie or something yeah
right yeah it's not dude not even in space it doesn't even look no it's not the same person
and uh well it's not the same person well yeah i'm always he lives in there somewhere i just
want to make sure he stays where the fuck he is um i'm constantly fighting that fat dude who lives inside of me you know what i'm saying uh but like
dude for me man it was just like dude i could go through all the reasons right like i i wasn't
enjoying myself um you know i didn't like going to the pool i didn't like buying clothes i wore
the same outfit every day i wore black all the time which that stuck
you know i still wear black all the time um and all the other things that you do when you're
fucking overweight and insecure right except i had to go out there and be the fucking head of
a fitness company being that fat like bro that's a hard thing to do you know mentally because you
feel like a fraud every day you know why you feel, why I felt like a fraud? Cause I fucking was, you know? So, um, so dude, I just, you know, we, we put this video up and I realized that if I got
all these people watching me, I'm not going to fuck up. You know what I'm saying? Like I have
enough pride where I'm not gonna fuck up if you like, like, I'm not going to sell myself that
story. I'm mentally stubborn enough to push through when I, when people are fucking watching me,
like I'll never fucking quit, bro. You know, like, and that's just who I am. Like I might slow down.
I might go away for a minute. I might fucking, but my footsteps will still be moving forward.
And, um, you know, I put that video out and, uh, you know, the first year I lost 110 pounds. So the, I lost most of that weight
the first year I went from three 50 to two 40 to two 38 actually in one year. And, uh, it took me
the whole year. I busted my fucking ass. Uh, and you know, I got there and I, I, I looked way better,
right. And the last five years after that, I've been refining that going up and down and up and down and up and down, you know, and I fluctuate between 275 and probably 255 now,
you know, but yeah, dude, I think the main thing was, is I realized like that I was wasting my life,
like legitimately wasting my life. Like, dude, we only have so much life, you know what I'm saying?
And like when you're younger and you think you've got all the life, you know, and then you start to get older. And
by this time, like, what was that? Six years ago. So six years ago, I was fucking 36 years old.
You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, fuck, I'm closer to 40 than I am to 30. And I'm like,
if I'm ever going to be who it is, I think I am, it's got to happen right now. And so that pressure
along with the pressure of me putting out a video and making it public, what I was working on and
my weight loss, that's what, that's, that's what kept me on it. You know what I mean? And then
during that process, I was constantly refining and thinking about, and this is where 75 hard
came from actually. Um, you know, a lot of people
think it's just from the James Lawrence podcast. Now that was a huge trigger for me where I was
like, fuck yeah. Okay. There it is. But what I had been doing that whole time, cause remember
we're in the business of getting people to lose weight and get healthy and become better physically
and mentally. And so I understand that process very well,
but I didn't nail it down for myself. And what I had figured out was my problem wasn't a physical problem. My problem was completely a mental problem. And so then, you know, I started putting
together all the little aspects of, you know, what I've done over the years to get in shape
mentally and physically and where I perform optimally and all these things,
75 hard was born out of that.
Right.
Um,
but I believe addresses every fucking serious bullshit excuse you give to
yourself.
Every,
every single one.
Um,
and there's so much more to the program than what people realize at first
glance.
But you know,
the short answer is like,
dude,
I was just sick of being fucking fat.
You know what I mean? And like, I can't, I, I short answer is like, dude, I was just sick of being fucking fat. You know what I mean?
And like,
I can't,
I,
I can't buy into,
this is also why I can't buy into the body positivity shit.
Right?
Like,
I'm not saying you gotta be perfect.
I'm not saying you gotta be fucking ripped,
shredded and at the pool every day.
That's not what I'm saying,
but you gotta be able to look in the mirror and say,
man,
I fucking earned this because that earning it is where your self esteem comes
from and your self belief and your confidence comes from the real body. Yeah, that's right. And
if so, that's real, that's when you start to really, uh, be positive about your own self.
You know what I mean? And so the short answer is bro, like I was fucking really sick of being a
fucking fat ass and I was sick of being a hypocrite. I was sick of being a fraud. I was sick of being
a fucking fake. I was sick of telling people to do shit that I wasn't doing myself. And I realized like, dude, if I'm ever
going to get where the fuck I want to go, I got to start doing it myself every fucking day, no
matter what. And that's what I've done since then. I mean, have I had days off or maybe like,
you know, a week off here or there that happened to go bad? Sure. But for the most part, I stuck
with it, you know, and now the last three years I've been extremely disciplined. What excites me is that I understand that, you know, it takes time to get things moving in life. And so what really excites me is like I haven't bear bear much of the fruit that I'm going to bear from those last three years where I've been fucking 100% disciplined. So I'm excited about that.
But I mean, to somebody who's
overweight, man,
my thing is, don't buy into this fucking shit
that they're telling you.
Oh, big is beautiful and this and that.
It's not even about that.
It's about health, first of all. We just had a fucking pandemic
where 80% of the people that die
were fucking obese.
Secondly,
we have a scenario where, you know,
culture is trying to like
create all these acceptance things, right?
Like you should accept yourself if you're fucking fat.
Well, that's fine if you're okay,
if that's what you wanted.
But most people don't want to be fat
and most people don't want to stay fat.
They just come to a place where they say,
oh, well, I guess I should accept it. And this is just the way I am. And I think that comes from
misinformation and no education around what it takes to actually do that. And the funny thing
is about fucking getting in shape is that it's actually not doing a whole lot of extra shit.
It's not doing a lot of extra shit, like filling your fucking pie hole with a bunch of shit.
You know what I mean? So like it's actually less effort if you think about it that way to lose weight than it is to gain weight yeah it takes more effort to gain weight it doesn't lose weight
that's a really great point you know i'm saying when it comes to what you're doing at the table
you know so um i don't know i just got fucking sick of it dude and like if i'm somebody out
there right now that's at the bottom of that mountain and you're looking up at that mountain and you're
saying, fuck dude. Like I can remember what it was like to do cardio, bro. And like get done and
like have like fucking big rolls hanging off me and be like, fuck, this ain't going anywhere.
Like, and be pissed. Right. That is still there or like be running. And I could feel the shit
bouncing up and down and like, dude, not feeling that, that's a really
good feeling. You know what I mean? And so don't buy into this shit. Like, dude, if you're fucking
heavy and you say, fuck, I like the way I look, like Rick Ross, you fucking love Rick Rossing.
Okay. Like, cool. I'm down with that. But you should still be healthy and you should still
try and you should still put in the work to be where you want to be and not take what society is telling you should be accepted and accept that for yourself. And because here's
what happens. A lot of these people that are bigger and guys, I deal with this every day.
I deal with thousands of overweight people all the time. People look in the mirror and they're
like, fuck, how do all these people, how do all these people, how are they okay with being big?
But I feel, I don't feel like I'm okay with being big. It's because they're lying. They're fucking
lying to you. Okay. They don't feel good that they're that big. It's a fucking act. And you
all know it. When you can't go to get clothes and nothing fits, they don't feel good. When you don't
go to a fucking, when you go to a pool party and, and you don't want to take off your fucking
shirt or you're getting a swimming suit in front of people, that don't feel good.
You know what I'm saying?
Those things don't feel good.
And no matter who the fuck you are, it doesn't feel good.
And no matter what they tell you, it doesn't feel good.
And so you're looking at yourself in the mirror and it creates confusion for the person because they're like, fuck, there's something wrong with me.
I should be feeling good about this, but I'm not.
But the reality is, guys, what you don't understand is that society has changed over the last 20 years.
20 years ago, they would have said, fuck yeah, you're fat.
You know what I'm saying?
Now they say, oh no, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
And people don't buy that.
And they try to sell themselves on it, but they can't accept it.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, dude, if I'm one of these people that stand at the bottom of that mountain and I'm thinking like, fuck, this is so much fucking work.
Just remember, you can make a fuck ton of change in one year.
And a year is not that fucking long.
It's just not.
It goes quick.
And I will say just from my experience, and I don't think you'll talk to anybody.
You know, we had Anthony on who was 600 pounds.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think you'll talk to anybody who has done that work and will say that they regret it 1%, even 1%,
not 1%. Like it's worth the work I put in times a million. Like I would do a million times more work
to get from where I was to where I am now. Like knowing how, knowing how good it is on the other
side and what it does for your psyche and
what it does for your,
your discipline and what it does for your drive and what it does for all these
things that matter.
You know,
I feel like the Andy that you guys have seen the last two or three years is the
real Andy and all the shit you saw before that was bullshit.
That's my honest,
that's,
that's,
that's the truth.
And I,
and I hear that all the time.
Like when I post my before and afters, everybody's like, God like god dude the look in your eye is different yeah and i'm like
that's because it fucking is a different person yeah yeah so you know dude i would i would you
know don't buy into that narrative guys that's a fucking narrative remember we talk on the show all
the time about they want us sick they want us uneducated they want us stupid they want us
fucking fat too okay so you have to understand like if you hate what's going on in the world,
one of the best ways to rebel against it is by being in shape, educating yourself,
becoming self-sufficient financially, you know, being personally excellent and being fit is part
of being personally excellent. Just is. So I listen. And by the way, if that's you, uh, we're here to
help. I don't care if you buy anything or not. Like, I don't give a fuck. That's why I put out
75 hard for fucking free because do the shit fucking helps people. Yeah. So like just fucking
go, man. Like, and that's another reason why I stay on the program pretty much all the time,
because like, I want to be a guide for these
people who like, I don't want to be one of these people who sits there and tells you motherfuckers
to go do this shit. And then me not doing it. You know what I mean? Like, dude, like if I,
I've always been a big believer. And I think this is a, I think this is a reason why I've been
successful, uh, as a leader is that like, dude, I'll fucking, whatever the fuck I ask of people,
I'll fucking do. Not only will I do it, I it i'll do it fucking right you know that's a cool thing too like people
will start in 75 hard like literally any time during the year i guarantee you andy's gonna
be doing it that's you know i'm saying like i might not be counting it but you're doing the
shit yeah i'm with you every day you're doing the shit you know i'm saying so it's like i think
that's the coolest part about yeah and dude by the way DJ, how many times do I feel like not doing it still?
You see what I'm saying, guys?
Like, dude, this is like, you know,
people think 75 hard or any program you choose,
like any program.
They think it's a permanent, fixed, one-time thing.
Bro, how many times you got to take a shower in a week?
What happens when you, you know, stop lifting weights?
You get small. You know what I'm saying?
Like when you come off these habits and you lose all that weight and you go back to the way you
were, it's only a matter of time for you. So like, dude, we got to fix what's going on in our
fucking brains. Like you shouldn't celebrate finishing 75 hard by going straight back to the
shit that you fucking ran from. You know what I mean? So we got to fix what's going on in the
brain, dude. And that's why the discipline aspect is so important because dude, never again in my
life will an external circumstance have control over me. Won't fucking happen. Won't fucking
happen. And the reason it won't happen is because I put in the work to develop that. And I put in
the consistent work to develop that mindset every fucking day. And so like doing 75 hard one time ain't going to fix your brain forever. Just like doing a diet
one time won't fix your body forever. It's a consistent practice to build the discipline
muscle that exists inside of you. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? Yeah. So like, dude,
if you're fucking fat and you go back to eating Big Macs, you have lost 100 pounds. Guess what? You're going to be a fucking fat ass again. Probably 200 pounds. Yeah. Well dude if you're fucking fat and you go back to eating big max you have lost 100 pounds guess what you're gonna be a fucking fat ass again probably 200 pounds yeah well if you stop
exercising your mind that little superpower that you fucking gain they're gonna go away yeah so
that's real that's why it's a year-long program yeah that's real all right so so that's the thing
people fucking get people misrepresent about that program and so it's 75 days and you fucking
fucking don't know it's a year
long. 75 hard is one fucking part of a year long program that is designed to be repeated year after
year after year after year. It's 75 days, then 30 days, three different times throughout the year.
It's a little less than half the fucking year. Okay. And half the year, you're going to be
disciplined. Half the year, you're going to do whatever the fuck else you want. But I can tell
you for sure, 100% that if you follow that Live Hard program,
you will be mentally tuned up all the time.
And, bro, that's what I want because I want to do big things in life.
That's real.
So question number two, we're going to kind of go off of that, right?
So you got your shit together, okay?
Now, when it comes from a business space, you've talked about it.
I know Ed talked about it, you know, like you don't, when you're starting out, you don't make a million dollars by doing a million different things. You find your one thing you do, do a really real, and then you can expand, right? Diversify your portfolio. So when you speak on the, you know, you transition, you have multiple companies right now. What was that transition like from having your first one to then expanding to the second or the
third one or the fourth one was it any different yeah so so so we're a rare company that's
vertically integrated meaning like we do everything from raw ingredients all the way down to selling
our own products in our own retail stores but we also sell everybody else's products. Okay. So the neat, that came out of an organic
need to grow the company. For example, most of my companies outside of like tequila and the
cannabis business, let's see, I feel like I'm missing one, Arte. Okay. But most of the other
companies have to do with, with fitness, nutrition, supplementation,
food, et cetera.
And those things all just came out of a need for us to expand and me not being able to
find someone who was willing to do what I needed them to do, uh, because they all wanted
to do things the way it always been done.
So for me, it was more about innovating a process that I wanted to control so that I
could function the way that I thought
this model should be done. And so, you know, those natural verticals will present themselves.
And what most people do is they outsource everything, right? But what happens is,
is that you end up being handicapped and chained to some of these other companies that may not want
to move as fast as you, or may not want to reinvest, or may not want to grow, or may not,
you know, and if you're a small company and you start working with also a small company and you
start growing and that guy's happy where the fuck he is, that causes problems. Okay. So
our stuff always started, our process of building all these different companies started out of a need.
You know what I mean?
And a need to do things differently and a need to have control of the process.
And that's where it all came from.
And it just organically sort of developed into this, you know, big conglomerate of things.
You know what I mean? Um, and they all work together
seamlessly. So that's how we did it. Uh, but you know, there's some people that do it differently.
There's some people that do companies in different aspects and, and, uh, in different
areas of business. Um, and they're successful at it. Iurs are mostly tied to the same.
Look, dude, my dad taught me something when I was really young.
He said, anytime I did something that I didn't know
and I didn't control, I lost money.
That's what I was taught.
And I live by that.
Like if I don't control it
and I don't fucking know about it,
I usually say no.
And I think that saved me a whole lot of money.
You know, I get a lot of people who come to me
wanting me to invest.
I'm not an investor. I'm a builder. You know what I'm saying? Like people who come to me wanting me to invest. I'm not an investor.
I'm a builder. You know what I'm saying? Like all these guys brag about how all their investments
and shit. Uh, well, I'm the guy they call her fucking build the company. You know what I'm
saying? Like I'm not the fucking guy they call for the money. I do everything on my own money.
I don't borrow money. Nothing that you have, nothing that you see in my life is fucking
is on leverage. Nothing. It's all our own shit, which is why it's taken us 20 years to get here and not fucking five.
All right.
But also my company's worth way more now because I was able to take the slower, longer road.
So it's just about what you want, man.
All different kinds of ways to do it.
You know, at the end of the day, uh, vertical integration and, and all of these things are
important. But like you said at the beginning, if you don't have your first, if you don't have
your first thing making money, uh, and I mean like running, like you don't have your systems,
you don't have like, these guys are trying to do this too quick, bro. I touched on this in the last
show. You know, we got a lot of entrepreneur gurus out there feeding you guys bad, bad information.
All right. Like if they don't own the kind of company that you want to own meaning like sales wise
Numbers wise you shouldn't be shouldn't be talking to them
I mean, it's just being real because like a lot of I dude I see people out there without companies at all
Running like mentor groups like dude. Listen guys, stop fucking gobbling this shit up
You know if you want to be in a mentor group go to that motherfucker's headquarters go see what his employees say go do they have a headquarters
where can you buy their products can you buy their products call their company see how they're how
they run like do some fucking research because there's a lot of people out there who have
figured out like oh dude i can i can make a lot of money by talking on a fucking screen once a week
and and dude they're feeding you guys bad shit you know they don't have the experience no and
they tell people what they want to fucking hear so they keep fucking paying you know and i just
won't do that so you know i think i think it's important to recognize there's a lot of bad
information out there about entrepreneurship right now it's very important for you guys to
understand that like you guys there's a lot of guys out there that you guys look at and you see
as fucking like like guys doing it that I know for sure ain't doing it.
Cause they call me up on the back and ask me for fucking money and I'm not
going to burn anybody's ass.
Like I'm just saying like those kinds of people shouldn't be fucking doing
groups.
So yeah.
And you've so,
so like do do some fucking due diligence about who the fuck you're learning
from.
That's real.
Andy, our third and final question
to tie all of this stuff in okay anyway hold on i didn't finish that i was getting into uh
i was getting into a lot of the younger guys wanting to do multiple things right
so like where i was going with that is like i understand that like i understand dude like i
when i was 20 four i wanted all this too but. But had I fucking built out all this shit at 24,
it would have ruined me.
But what I did, which was the right move,
was I fucking went all in on my one thing
and I made that fucking work
like really, really, really, really well.
And it gave me a lot of horsepower
to do all kinds of different things
because how we financed all these other companies
was from our first company.
That's why we didn't take any money.
And so that's how I would do it if I were you.
Whatever your first thing is that you're working on,
make that run, learn that game, understand the systems,
understand everything about it,
become a fucking true expert.
Then you can start to look to the ancillary businesses
that can contribute to that company
that you want to open up or own or whatever that that's how I
did it.
And so,
and you know,
everybody always wants to say,
well,
the way they did it was the best way,
but I really do believe that's the best way.
You know what I mean?
So they're for sure.
And bro,
I haven't even fucking like,
dude,
look,
people don't even fucking know.
Like I don't even show my life guys.
Like I could tell you right now,
I haven't been on Instagram consistently with like showing my life in two years. I guarantee
most of you was shit your fucking pants. Okay. So, uh, fucking start and stick with it and,
and scale out as in a responsible way as you need to scale it out and you'll see things you do too quick bro to bury
you because you don't know what the fuck you're doing you don't have enough money and even if you
didn't have enough money you just blow it out so it's a recipe for disaster i see a lot of young
entrepreneurs right now that are going to get smashed in the fucking dick like hard hard because
they're buying into this shit that they're hearing on instagram it fucking pisses
me off dude it pisses me off yeah i say i see you know what i see i see the that mean obviously i'm
not a business guy right but like i'm hanging out around you enough i see some of the shit
i see people like i see their instagram profile and it says they do this this and this and i'm
just thinking myself so what do you do motherfucker if youucker, if you don't, here's my opinion.
I'm not even going to say my opinion because I'm friends with,
listen, I said what I said.
I'm just going to say this.
If a dude wasn't running a company
that wasn't a company like I want to run,
I wouldn't fucking ask him shit.
I'll just say that.
So Andy, our third and final question for you
to kind of wrap all of this stuff up for you
so you're in a good spot it's obvious right yeah today you're doing good today um that don't mean
tomorrow yeah yeah that's why i come to work every day 100 100 but but you you've gotten yourself to
a really really good spot your your people are good your employees are good i just think that's
an important point to make no i i people think that they get to fucking this place, and they put their fucking feet up
in this shit.
They made it.
Yeah.
You know how I keep winning, bro?
Because I keep showing the fuck up.
And they're like, how's Frisella keep winning?
He's a dumbass.
Well, I'm a dumbass that keeps showing up.
I show up every fucking day.
Ask fucking the guys that have been with me for 15 years.
I work hard as now as I did then.
You guys don't see that because I don't show
that shit. Right. Like a lot of people are too busy doing it. Dude, I've had people and this
pisses me off. I've had people reach out to me and they're like, yeah, I know you have everybody
running your company for you. I'm like, oh, dude, do I? You do? Oh, you fucking know what I do every
day. You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, I got a strong ass team, but it takes a strong ass
fucking whole bunch of shit to get something done, you know? And so, you know, yeah, today I'm doing good. When I go home tonight, I'm going to look at my garage. I'm gonna ass fucking whole bunch of shit to get something done you know and so you know
yeah today i'm doing good when i go home tonight i'm gonna look at my garage i'm gonna see a whole
bunch of fucking cars with a whole bunch of a bunch of cool shit you know what i'm saying i'm
gonna see a nice house all that shit could go away and that's what people don't get that's why
i laugh at these motherfuckers when they're like oh dude i'm 40 i'm gonna fucking retire i'm like
well you'll be broke by 42 you know what i mean anyway that's my answer to the question wasn't asked
oh god i must be super obnoxious to people like i'm obnoxious to myself you know that's what like
you guys don't have to fucking tell me man like just so toxic i already get it like
bro sometimes these people write you know do you know when we sit in the message,
when we sit in the fucking,
uh,
in a locker room and somebody write me a message,
Andy,
you're such fucking blah,
blah,
blah,
blah,
blah.
I'm like,
yeah,
I can see that.
I hate myself too.
I get it.
Like,
fuck dude.
I'm just,
I'm not trying to be nothing for you guys.
I'm just trying to,
it's just me.
And so the fuck I get it.
I'm annoying as fuck.
Sometimes I know, like I got up on the wall, let it. I'm annoying as fuck sometimes. I know, like I
got up on the wall, let people talk. Don't talk over
them. You know, fuck.
It's all good. It is what it is, man.
Some people are just having a bad fucking day.
I still love you guys, though. Even if you hate
me. They don't really hate you.
They want you to hear them say hey.
Nah, bro. It's not that.
What it is, is that it
bothers them that they're not doing something
and they think I got somewhere unfairly and it bothers them.
And if they really saw what I did every day
and they really followed me around
and they really knew what kind of person I was,
none of the shit that the people criticize me about is true.
It's just not true.
And so, like, I don't get upset about it.
All right. So,
so,
so you're in a good spot today, right?
You,
you've put,
I thought we already answered this question.
Um,
but,
but you,
you've built a lot in the last 23 years.
Your employees are good.
Your people are good.
Right.
Um,
and you got a shit ton of money.
You're rich as fuck.
Is there anything that you won't spend money you're rich as is there anything
that you won't spend money on like is there anything that andy's just like cheap cheap
phone like well people always like ask me this like they always ask me this thing and they're
like man you still cut your own grass well no i don't cut my own grass no we talked about
yeah are we talking about on the show with the leaves and i mean i learned my lesson yeah
like i did that already i don't want to do that no more yeah you know but like i guess that's what someone's asking right
like something i'll do for myself that i won't pay for someone to do uh i don't know man like
i try to do what i'm good at and allow all my fucking time to be dedicated what i'm good at
um and i try to pay for everything else because i know that everything else that i do
when i'm not doing what i'm good at is a of time and resources. And that doesn't just hurt me.
It hurts all my people. So that's how I look at it. I look at it. I dissect what my time is worth.
Um, I don't let my ego get involved and think like, Oh dude, you know, you're getting fucking
soft cause you won't mow your grass. You know, like now the one thing i will do is i will go do my
farm work and get on the tractor or if it's construction shit i love that like i love
running heavy equipment i love driving bigger tractors not fucking sears robot fucking lawn
mowers yeah you know i'm sorry yeah no uh i love that that's something i love to do um that's like
basically did half of your fucking foundation on all that I was
capable of doing.
You know, the guys who really do it, they got to get in there where it's technical.
Um, you know, and, uh, I like those things.
I don't know.
Like I'm trying to think, I think that's how I operate.
Like what I just said.
Is it?
No, I think that's fair.
I mean, you, you see from the outside, like I don't dedicate time shit that's not, like, where I need to be dedicating my time.
Yeah.
Well, I've also never seen you be like, oh, no, I'm not fucking paying for that.
That's too much.
I've never seen that.
Like, I'm trying to think to myself.
Well, I mean, I definitely, you know, like, here's something you guys all got to understand.
You guys are going to be rich people.
There's something called a rich people tax.
All right?
So, and I might have talked about this on the show, but is a real thing you're fucking learning it right now because you're rich
now right hey see what i'm saying call me pablo got your motherfucking you got a fucking nicer
house and you had now all of a sudden shit costs more okay so what happens when you get a nicer
house and people start knowing you make money is that shit that costs the exact same at your old
house now costs twice as much at the new house,
even though it was exact same shit. Like for example, um, you know, this is not true.
I'm using this as an example. This is not true because I have an amazing heat and AC guy. Okay.
But I learned, but I didn't learn about this guy for a long time. So this is not a shot at him.
My current guy is a fucking, he's the shit. Um shit um but you know like when i lived in my first house i bought i had to replace
an ac unit it was x when i lived in my second house that was much bigger you know i went from
1800 square feet to 11 000 square feet that same fucking one ac unit that was x was now fucking
10x yeah you know what i'm saying and there was now fucking 10 X. You know what I'm saying?
And there was fucking seven of them.
You know what I mean?
And like,
that's the shit and it'll piss you off so fucking bad because they will bid
you based on what they fucking think you can pay.
And so I will fight motherfuckers on that shit.
Cause out of principle,
you know what I'm saying?
I don't know what the fuck you're doing,
bro.
And that's a mistake.
I'm going to tell a lot of you guys in the contracting,
you're making a big mistake by doing that to people. And I'll tell you why, because those people got a huge
network and they're fucking smart. Most people that are rich didn't get there by being fucking
stupid. Okay. And you fucking come in with your fucking, you know, and you think you're fucking
pulling one over on people when in reality, what happens is, is they fucking look at that bid.
They say, fuck off. And then they tell all their friends never to fucking use you.
So like the bigger the house, I would say the bigger the IQ.
All right?
So remember that when you go fucking try to sell them on some shit.
They do the opposite.
Like if you're a contractor, bro, and you fucking,
you can't tell these guys nothing anyway.
They fucking know it.
But it is what it is you know um
so when that happens to you just think of me
bigger house bigger i like that fuck yeah man well i mean it's not always true obviously but
i'm saying like people don't get there but it's a correlation there for being a fucking
if they're self-made that's you know what i what I mean. Awesome, man. Well, Andy, that's three.
Go pay the fee.
Yeah.
So, guys, going back to the weight loss question real quick.
Like, if that's you, please fucking do this.
Like, this is why I put the program out for free.
This is why we do things like, you know, you call First Form and talk to their customer service.
They'll talk you through all your fucking shit for free.
Okay.
There's tons of, there's millions of fucking great personal trainers out there.
There's millions of other companies out there.
It's not, I'm not saying that just to run with ours, but just fucking do it and realize
this is a mental test.
Like your physical is a representation of your mental.
Are you, if you can harden yourself mentally, your body will
become hard too. Okay. So you have to remember that, that like, and when I made that switch from
this is a purely physical endeavor to this is actually a mental test, everything,
fuck, it got a lot easier because now it's not like, oh dude, I got to lose five pounds. It's
like, well, did that fucking alcohol or did that food or did that thing control me or did i control it did i win that test or did i not win that test all right
so maybe start looking at a little bit more like that and like dude you could read all about 75
hard 75 hard.com uh you can go back to episode 208 where it'll explain which was just the last
two episodes ago um we'll explain the program and what it does for you.
So think about it.
If you choose something else,
cool as fuck too,
but man, just fucking do it
because I'm going to tell you
it's worth it.
Yeah.
