Starting point is 00:00:00 What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realest, say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusionsusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today we have Q and AF. That's where you submit the cues and I give you the AFs. If you don't know, if you're not familiar with the show, if it's your first time listening, we have many different formats on the show. Like I said, today is Q and AF. Sometimes you will tune in and it will be CTI. That stands for cruise the internet. That's where we put up the headlines of the day. And we talk about, uh, how ridiculous they are. We make fun of them. And then we deduce any truth that may be contained in said headline. And then we talk about what the problem is and how we're going to fix it. And that's how Q and AF
Starting point is 00:01:03 and CTI are sort of the peanut butter and jelly of the show. Okay. Uh, because whatever problems there are in the world, the only solution is a cultural leveling up for all of us. Okay. Uh, that means we have to get better, which means you have to get better. It means I have to get better. It means personal excellence is the only cure. So we tie those together. Then sometimes we're going to have real talk and real talk is where I come in and I give you five to 20 minutes or so of a little speech, usually designed to kick myself in the ass. Or it's something that I realized along this path that I've been on for a long time that helped me a lot that I see you guys missing on. All right. I cut straight to the shit.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I don't fuck around. Sometimes you like it. Sometimes you don't. But you have to remember I'm doing it to help you. I'm trying to make you better. If you can't understand that, go listen to someone else. Then we have full length guests. That's where I bring on successful, interesting people.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Sometimes they have different viewpoints of me. We have conversations. Most of the time we talk about how they got to be who it is they are, that you feel compelled to listen to them. And we break down how you can become the same as them. All right. Because we all live in this great lie, which is there's some sort of success fairy that comes around and picks and chooses who gets to be successful and who doesn't. When in reality, it's all a result of our actions that we take over long periods of time. If you do the right actions and you do it long enough, good things fucking happen. That's really the whole show. That's really the whole entire library of everything I've ever done. If you do good shit and you do it long enough, good things happen. Learn along the way,
Starting point is 00:02:50 fuck up, make mistakes, correct those mistakes and keep fucking moving. If you do what I just said in the last 15 seconds, you cannot fucking lose. But if you're someone that is a glutton for punishment and you want to learn as much as you can and you want to laugh and hear me make fun of all kinds of different people for all kinds of different things and be entertained, you can continue to listen to the show. But at the end, that 15 seconds is really it. All right. So with that being said, there is a fee for the show. The fee is very simple. Tell someone, okay, we don't run ads on this show. I can make eight figures running ads on this show. I don't run ads on the show. The fee is very simple. Tell someone, okay, we don't run ads on this show.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I can make eight figures running ads on this show. I don't run ads on the show. All right. I don't run ads for the show. This show is an experiment to show you that when you do good, good things happen. This show has been a top ranked podcast for literally almost a decade straight. I don't know of any other show outside Rogan that's done that. Okay. The way we've done it, we've never run an ad. We never took ad dollars. The way we did it was we came in here, we tried to help people and enough people honored the fee and the show grows. So that's what the fee's about. Okay. It's about helping us get the message out there.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I'm comfortable operating on that system because I feel like I give you guys the real shit. So if you think so too, please share the show. With that being said, what's up? Hey. How's it going? Good, man. How was the weekend? Good.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Good. Good. Hello, children. Yeah. I saw you went to a wedding. How was that? Yeah. I went to a wedding, man. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Looked good. We had good weather for it. no it was great not four thousand degrees like it has been the rest of the summer yeah no no it was good man uh it's interesting because you know i'm planning we're planning for our wedding and so like we've been to like two or three of them now so far uh recently and like it's always it's it's been interesting because i could i kind of see what's going on i'm like oh yeah we ain't doing that shit like yeah you know i'm saying like i'm like yeah we're not we're not doing that shit oh that's pretty cool yeah we're not doing that you know i'm saying like it's interesting but it's hard to like actually enjoy it because i'm being so like critical i guess i don't know i don't know like it's weird no you're analyzing
Starting point is 00:05:01 trying to figure out but see dude that's the whole thing with weddings anyway like people spend their whole time trying to plan this fucking perfect shit first of all it never goes perfect yeah okay it's a highly stressful super expensive fucking scam if you ask me okay what really matters is the the the actual marriage yeah okay and uh picking someone that you can live with and all these other things that they tell you it's about it's really about that shit yeah you know what i mean like no that's real you know not enough people not enough people really uh think about that beforehand you know they're in such a hurry they want that big day to happen for them i feel like a lot of people you know
Starting point is 00:05:40 get married for the sake of getting married because it's like the time in their life where they're supposed to get married expected yeah yeah and then i also feel like you know there's this different cultural change that has happened in society where like people who you know like when i was growing up man like you were taught to find someone you could build with like to find someone you could build a life with yeah you know what i'm saying not already be established yeah and it's if it's dude i feel like the culture especially with uh with women yeah and this is why they this is why there seems to be such a shortage of men because there is a there's a low percentage of financially successful well-off men
Starting point is 00:06:22 right yeah um that's the nature of it uh which it shouldn't be by the way that's a product of the fucking tyranny that we live in if we lived in an actual free society there'd be a lot more success you know but that's a story for another time but my point is actually it's a story for all the other times that i talk right uh but my point is is that you know it used to be build up marry someone build a life and now it's like marry someone you know who's got their shit going on right and it's like bro that's like you're kind of missing out on a lot of like the real important shit that bonds people bro like like i'm gonna say because then you wonder why your grandparents have been married for 50 years
Starting point is 00:07:03 because they've been through some fucking difficult shit together. Yeah. You know? And, like, it's just, I think culture would do itself a favor by getting back to that idea of, like, hey, you know, find someone you can bill with. Not find someone who's where you want to be and you're just going to latch on. That's going to make you feel, that's going to make you feel that's going to make you feel unfulfilled and and uh you know people aren't going to be you're not going to be happy with that long term because you didn't that wasn't your you have nothing invested yeah and and like bro you have to like this is a this
Starting point is 00:07:34 is a the older i get the more i realize that this is a self-actualization journey and if you never really extract the good shit that we all have inside of us this is aside from the relationship marriage conversation but if you never like explore your own true potential and like try to like see where you where you could contribute and pour into something worthy and all of these things you're going to feel very empty all the time you know and it's hard to know that like i couldn't know that when i was 30 years old like fuck dude like i i mean this is just something i'm starting to realize and i've had a lot of experience bro like i'm kind of like a 70 year old dude and like a 40 year old dude body you know what i'm saying well i got like a 25 but let's be real like in my my i've lived a lot longer of life in the amount of time I've been alive.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And, you know, so I don't know if this realization, maybe it doesn't happen for people until they're already like in their 50s, 60s, or 70s for other people. and more i i push through this life and the more struggles that i face and the more i overcome the more i realize is that all that good shit that like you really draw upon and what you're proud of that happens from overcoming the hard shit that that happens from be you know being willing to explore your own true potential and and squeeze the juice out and and and not being afraid that there's no juice you know what what I'm saying? Most people never even fucking squeeze because they don't think there's any juice in there. And in reality, bro, you don't know what the fuck you got in there until you squeeze on it. You know what I'm saying? And like, people don't think about it like that anymore. And I wish, you know, the young people that listen to this show, you guys hear us joke and you hear us fuck around and make fun of shit. But at the end of
Starting point is 00:09:25 the day, man, you know, I hope you take the, I hope you could delineate the shit that I say that I'm being sarcastic and the things I'm saying serious. Like what I'm telling you right now is very serious. Like if you're 22 years old, you're listening to this show, bro, you, you must get on the path of becoming and discovering what your skills are, building skills, building something that you're proud of, committing to something, like trying things. Like you have to go do those things and you have to like see what the fuck is in there. Because, dude, every single one of us has something in there. But most people just never squeeze it out because they don't want to fall on their face and look stupid in front of their friends. On top of the fact that our true potential is always being suppressed
Starting point is 00:10:07 when it's not only it's yeah bro and not only that you can't but see the problem is people don't realize that you can never actually get to your true potential because your true potential is always expanding because if you're fucking going along the line right and you're working hard and you fall on your fucking face like something bad happens yeah you learn a really hard lesson well when you get back up and you choose to keep moving you take the lesson that you just learned and you put that in your tool belt right okay and by just having that lesson in your tool belt that you could fall back on and learn now now your potential has expanded on the back end right so like as you get skills your potential has expanded on the back end. Right. So like, as you get skills, your potential will expand. So that's why I say it's about pursuing your own true potential, because no matter how
Starting point is 00:10:53 good you fucking get, there's still more that you could do. Like Jeff Bezos, bro, that guy could accomplish so much more and truly solving the world because of the journey that he's been on. Yeah. You understand now, whether or not he chooses to continue to do that. Some people get tired along the way. You know,
Starting point is 00:11:11 that man is, you know, whether you love him or hate him, no different to me. I guarantee you worked his fucking ass off and he might just say, fuck it. I'm going to fucking live some life. And that's okay too.
Starting point is 00:11:21 But the point is, is that you have to be aware that you will never actually get there. All right. And that's where people get frustrated and hung up at. They want to get there. You're never going to get there. If you just decide that you're going to enjoy the journey and you're going to appreciate the good times and the bad times because they both teach you things and that, you know, tomorrow when the sun comes up, you're going to appreciate the good times and the bad times because they both teach you things and that you know tomorrow when the sun comes up you're going to get the fuck up and keep going that's a place where you can find true fulfillment because you you understand the expectations of what's reality like if you if you're constantly living and you're constantly
Starting point is 00:12:00 thinking i'm going to get there i'm going to get there i'm going to get there i'm going to get you're never going to get there yeah you're never going to get there, I'm going to get there, I'm going to get there, I'm going to get there. You're never going to get there. Yeah. You're never going to get there, bro. I mean, think about how demoralizing it is too. That's right. At the time of death, it's like, damn, I never even fucking. Yeah, and it refuses to allow us to appreciate
Starting point is 00:12:14 what we have learned and what we have been through. And it's, you know, a lot of people confuse. Bro, listen, I've won every material fucking prize you can win. Like there's not a motherfucking thing on this earth that I couldn't do financially. Not a fucking thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:29 That ain't where it is. Now, is that cool? Yeah, because I get to have a lot of fun and I love to, I mean, bro, it's a lot better than being fucking broke. Okay. I get to do good things for other people that I wouldn't normally do.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I don't have to worry about the same shit. But now I worry about like even more important shit because like now it's not about me. It's about everybody else. And think about that moral burden that you start to think about. You know what I'm saying? So the point is, is that there's going to be resistance, whatever path you take. If you take the path of just being a loser and not doing shit with your life, your life is going to fucking suck. And that's going to be the price that you pay. But if you take the path of, you know, self-actualization and understanding what your purpose is and moving towards that every day, that's going to be hard on the front end because you got to do a lot of work and you know, you're going to trip and fall. You're going
Starting point is 00:13:16 to get embarrassed. Sometimes you're going to get hurt. Sometimes you're going to go through dark times. But the point is, is that your life will actually become um easier by the terms that other people look at easy hard by just accepting that it's going to be this path yeah so you know because they're both fucking hard yeah it's choose your heart bro i've been like you that's a common meme yeah right i'm the fucking first motherfucker to say that back in 2012 i have i got still got the fucking graphic i made of it yeah okay it says being broke is hard being successful is hard being broke is hard choose your heart i thought it up in like three fucking seconds now it's like out there like right right you know whatever dude and that's
Starting point is 00:13:56 fine because the message usually gets out i'm just saying i said it first motherfucker so the point is is that dude you young guys and even you guys who are 30 or 35 you're still so fucking young bro i'm young okay you and you can stay young take care of your shit all right it's just like a new car bro take care of that motherfucker it'll look good 50 years from now um and that's coming from someone who abused the fuck out of their body, dude, for a long time, bro. I was 350 fucking pounds. Like there's redemption to be had if you're willing to do the work. But my point is, is for you guys who are, who are out there and you're like, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:34 you're at the beginning of your journey. Fucking bro. Fucking go. Don't fucking hide. Don't fucking, you know, don't be, be uh be a person that does good shit be a person that builds people up be a person that makes people better and and fucking go after whatever that juice might be inside because dude that shit like you you struggling to find that will be being that will be the shit you're most proud of in life most people aren't willing to do that work i love it i love it well it's q a though
Starting point is 00:15:07 we got some questions uh and guys remember these are your questions okay uh you guys uh can email your questions into ask andy at andy for seller.com they can be about anything um andy gets no heads up on these questions it's straight raw authentic yeah. Raw dog. Raw dog and some questions. Just like I raw dogged them headlines, too. Right, right, right. So let's get into it, man. Andy, question number one. It's like I raw dogged that air when everybody else wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah, no shit. Raw dog in the air, bro. That's going to be the next thing to be coined 10 years from now. They're about to bring this shit back again. They're going to try. Holy shit. I'm still going to be raw dog in the air, motherfucker. Raw dog for life. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Andy, question number one. Here's a rule about Real AF. Take 50% of what I say and throw it out the fucking window. Oh, fuck. Raw dog in the air. Yeah. That's a good one all right let's go all right so uh put your game face on yeah fucking around dj yeah come on fuck say yes i had the fuckers um so question number one andy what have you found to be the best way to attack and overcome procrastination specifically coming from the waiting for the right time waiting for perfection versus just being lazy like what have you learned the best way to attack procrastination look dude uh well first of all there's two answers there one
Starting point is 00:16:37 i i call this a production pivot this is a hack i use to get me to move all right and he's talking about the this is about the lazy part of get me to move all right and he's talking about the this is about the lazy part of it because most people suffer from the lazy part of it um they lie and tell themselves there's the other part yeah for sure i just don't know how i want to attack it yeah all right let first of all motherfucker go after that path whatever the fuck that is just go because what you're going to learn even if it doesn't work out is going to help you get where you want to go so don't for the right time, that's a fucking bullshit thing. Once you get into a higher level of business,
Starting point is 00:17:12 you're doing hundreds of millions of dollars, there's some strategy like a chessboard how you're going to want to move. You're probably not there yet, and you will understand that when you get there. But right now, what you have to understand is you have a lot of skills that you need to learn. And the way you're going to learn and the way you're going to get better is you're going to go after these crazy fucking ideas that you think need to be happening within whatever it is you're working on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So that's the first thing. So for the sake of the fucking lesson in the tool that you're going to gain from doing it, I would go down that path as hard as possible. And now, because your competitors, competition is a real thing, bro. It is real. Like people want to say, oh, there's enough for everybody. There is enough for everybody. But if you want to like get ahead on an innovative idea or things like that, what I'm thinking about, you have to move fast. You have to be fucking quick. Um, so I would go for those reasons alone. Now, the tool I use for this, and I use this in small actions and large actions. So, you know, small actions being, I came home from work and I sat on the couch and I wanted to be a fat piece of shit. Right. Um, and I thought to myself, uh, and big actions being like what we just talked about. I want to move, uh, down this concept or down this project.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I'm not sure when the right time is. The fucking time is now. Okay. In both those scenarios, this hack will work. Um, and what I do is the second i catch myself and become aware because really what this is is a game of awareness soon as i come aware of that thought that i'm being lazy as fuck like laying on the couch or whatever and i'm like i've that internal the the internal dialogue kicks in right uh the the boss voice that we all have in us um
Starting point is 00:19:03 so man you're being fucking lazy all right that i get up right then and i put my shoes on i take action immediately like i don't wait for three or four more things uh i don't wait for you know i don't have a conversation i don't negotiate with that right i fucking obey that all right and that's a huge thing it's called a production pivot so you take the fucking negative thought and then you it comes in your head you process it and it comes out of your body into a productive action this can be used when when uh like people hate on you shit like that like one of the best things for me is for people to fucking hate on me because i'm able to
Starting point is 00:19:40 absorb the negativity and it makes me better i just go out the other end fucking sprinting. So, you know, and, you know, those kind of little tricks will make you extremely powerful in terms of what you produce. Okay. Because the bad times and the negativity, it's always going to fucking be there. Especially if you look for it. And especially if you get down the road. If you're going to be in business for fucking 25, 30, fucking 40 years,
Starting point is 00:20:08 bro, there's going to be some situations where you fucked up. There's going to be some situations where people don't like you. There's going to be, those things are going to be part of it. And you're going to have to get used to people for no other reason. Sometimes attacking you just because you're fucking you. Okay. And what you do in those scenarios, you got to take that energy and you have to make it work. And you can use that in the beginning of your business too. But the point is, is that the production pivot is a negative thought in positive action out immediately, immediately negative thought in positive action out. Okay. That tool, that tool that tool will make your fucking life if you just learn one motherfucking thing from this entire fucking library of episodes which is over 600 the mfco project and real af
Starting point is 00:20:55 if you fucking take that tool and use it you'll you'll you'll this would be the greatest thing you ever fucking list to your life that's fact a fact. So that's how to do that. That's real. Moving on. Any question number two, I have an employee who has been struggling in her duties, duties that she was once great at. She's a good worker,
Starting point is 00:21:17 but her consistency is all over the place. We have set her down and discuss several times how we need her to turn things around. It doesn't seem to get better. Or if it does, it isn't for long. How would you deal with this situation? Well, I mean, you know, how I would deal with it, it also depends on who it is.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Like if this is some, dude, there's so much nuance in this question because, you know, if you're working with someone who's 15 years in your company and this is just like an odd time that's clear you clearly know something else is going on some external variables yeah so like you're going to be friends with this person you know i in that scenario i would have an honest comment hey what's going on dude like i could tell something's going on real conversations bro real real fucking conversations fix everything yeah um you know uh if it's someone newer you know you might not know that person you might want to
Starting point is 00:22:13 make them understand like this is not the fucking standard that we operate at and you know sometimes you're gonna lose some of those people they're not gonna like you very much right but you can't accept standard less than that and and if you don't know them that might be a this might be a chance where you get to know them but i personally look at life as sort of like uh deposits and withdrawals okay and a lot of people don't see it this way like this is why cancel culture is such a fucking thing like people wait for somebody to make one or two or five fuck-ups out of the what gazillion fucking at bats that they've had right right and then they want to
Starting point is 00:22:51 ruin their lives yeah dude oh he fucked up and that's just not a way that i don't think that's good and i don't believe in cancel culture from the left or the right or in any which way i think it's wrong i think people make mistakes i think people fuck up um and i think if they make enough mistakes and enough fuck ups, people won't buy from them. And that's the reality of what happens. So, you know, I think, you know, I look at and maybe this will help you with like somebody you're dealing with. And this is how I like to explain how I think, not just like what I think. So I tend to look at someone's deposits and then someone's withdrawals. And if someone's made 15 years of fucking great deposits and they make one
Starting point is 00:23:33 withdrawal, that's something that should be taken into consideration in my opinion. Um, if they've only been here three months and they've only made the deposit of working here, then they don't get to make as many withdrawals from that account because they're in enough balance. So I try to think of forgiveness and grace and second chances.
Starting point is 00:23:53 There's no set rule for me. I sort of examine it in that mindset. And that's something that I learned from Ed Milet, actually. He's the one that kind of taught me how to see people like that. And once someone starts making more withdrawals than they do deposits, that's when you go start to move somewhere else. Yeah, you got to close that account. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, it's going to cost you too much. So I just thought that was such a powerful way to look at things. Yeah. And instead of trying to provide this person with, because I don't know the details that I would need to know to answer that, maybe that's just how they should, maybe think about it like that, see what you come up with. provide this person with, cause I don't know the details that I would need to know to answer that. Um, maybe, maybe that's just how they should maybe think about it like that.
Starting point is 00:24:29 See what you come up with. I like to look at someone. I like to look at someone's good things. Uh, when they fuck up, I like to consider all the good things they did before I, I have some sort of response to the fuck up. Yeah. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah. And, and dude, you know, that's something I've learned. This is not like I'm, I'm And, dude, you know, that's something I've learned. This is not, like, I'm fucking, you know, I've been in business 23 fucking years, bro. I wasn't always that way. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:52 Like, I used to see things black and white. I used to see things a lot harder. You know, like, there's, it's an evolution in thinking. You know what I mean? And so, like, that's how i try to look at it now and i think if everybody did that with everybody in society this cancel culture shit would stop yeah you know what i mean like businesses everything yeah yeah it's it's fucking bullshit and this is why you know so many great people like bro there's only like you think of think of like the amount of entrepreneur real fucking entrepreneur i'm talking about motherfuckers that have built real shit okay i'm not talking
Starting point is 00:25:34 about professional fucking entrepreneurship coaches i'm not fucking talking about that i'm talking about motherfuckers that when you drive down the road and you see the companies that were built do you you understand none of those people are on the internet. None of those people are on social media. Like you're doing the shit. Hold on. I'm a fucking rarity. Like I'm willing to show people and teach and share these motherfuckers don't
Starting point is 00:25:59 because society is so unforgiving towards things like that, that they're just like, you know what, fuck y'all. And they take their money and go fucking live their life. And that's why we don't have more of those people stepping in and helping in this scenario that's going on right now. So if people really want a better society, we need to like be more graceful with each other in terms of, is this person contributing more good or, or how is this looking instead of just this fucking shit that we've had for the last 15 years, you know, and most, and like, dude, a lot of people are happy now because the cancel culture has switched over to the right.
Starting point is 00:26:34 The opposite way. Yeah. But like, bro, that's no good either. Like, just because you have the numbers now, you should think about the behavior of that kind of thing. It's like, that's like, I'm not a big believer in just cause that guy does it makes it okay for me to do too. If I don't think it's right.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Right. And like, bro, like where the fuck is that in America? Yeah. I mean, there's a universal karmic response to that as well. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I mean, look man, people are asking people to understand quantum physics when they can't understand how to fucking, you know, be kind to each other. That's real. So like start with just being cool, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Like, maybe understanding that, like, that person that you're piling on or that fucking company that you're piling on or whatever it is, you know, what have they done good? You know what I'm saying? Or, like, when you're in a personal situation like this person, yeah, she's had a bad three months, but she had a fucking amazing 10 years before that exactly so what's going on you know i'm saying now if it was bad three months and she only had
Starting point is 00:27:32 fucking three months on the front that's a different way to look at right right but i think just the overall adoption of a mentality of of deposits first withdrawals I think it's a healthy way to really like, you know, to- It's a fair way. I mean, I think it's fair. Yeah, I don't know, man. I wish, look, in the big scheme of things, the podcast or, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:55 how many people are going to change the way they think? I don't fucking know. But it starts with one. That's the truth. That's how I look at it. So when you guys see me, like when one of my friends does something silly
Starting point is 00:28:08 or they make a mistake and I don't fucking pile on, first of all, they're my motherfucking friend. Second of all, I know they're going to learn and they're going to press forward and fucking make way more deposits off of that withdrawal. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. But for this
Starting point is 00:28:23 woman's case, that's how I would look at it. And for all woman's case, you know, that's how I would look at it. And for all of you guys who are managers, that's how I would look at it. Moving on to question number three, kind of flows right from that, actually. So question number three is, Andy, what should I watch out for and be considerate of when moving from running the business and doing all the work myself to being more of the owner leader and bringing people in to do the jobs right so in that managerial role like what things did you have to take away that you had to let go maybe it wasn't it wasn't about letting go it's it's not about that people think it's like this egotistical i don't want to let go no motherfucker i would love to let go i would fucking want to let go. No motherfucker. I would love to let go. I would
Starting point is 00:29:05 fucking love to let go. Okay. But the problem is, and this is for most CEOs, uh, or owners who are at this place in time is that, that you have to become an, you have to become so fucking detail oriented and so particular about how things have to be done perfectly. And that has to be like embedded into your culture because the natural, uh, diminishing return, you know, at your level, let's say you, and this is something about, this is really a leadership lesson. This is why you motherfuckers that don't fucking actually lead and you pretend to lead don't get anywhere. Okay. Because what you are, your next level people will be 95% of that. Okay. But the next level people after that, they'll only be like 80% of that. Okay. And then the next level, they're like 50. So you have
Starting point is 00:29:59 to understand that like your attention and your skillset and your standards and your things will naturally be diluted like a game of telephone, no matter how fucking good you are. So the thing that you have to do is you have to become a great educator and a great inspirer of high standards. All right. Meaning if you think that you're going to pull off of the fucking company and you're going to go out and play golf, your company is going to get fucking beat bro just the way it is if you become a tremendous educator and you can get people to see an inspirer because like dude
Starting point is 00:30:36 motivation is like reward from the external inspiring is like convincing someone to do it you know and so you you teach them how, I think this is the biggest thing that people miss. People, CEOs, leaders, managers, anybody who's trying to get people to do something, they forget to explain why it matters to the person. Okay. So they're like, if you can't tie together why they need to do x into their own personal development and success you're never going to be able to create any kind of standard that matters okay so you have it's becoming aware of all sorts of different little indicators. Like, is this person purpose-driven? Are they monetarily driven?
Starting point is 00:31:29 Are they both? Like, you have to understand what they need. Are they fulfillment-driven? Or are they, you know, why are they here? What do they show up to work to do? What are they passionate about? And you have to figure those things out and you have to invest in the actual systems
Starting point is 00:31:44 of the company that reward, because dude, the truth is very few people at a young age right now are money motivated. No. Okay. So you have to build purpose around that to get people to row the fucking boat. Okay. And that shit and the best kind of purpose is a real purpose, one that's genuine, that everyone knows is genuine. So like, bro, the way everything is built is built towards the proper intent of your customer. If you build a system inside your company that its intent is to serve the customer the best way possible, you're going to hit way more than you miss. All right. And you're going to have people inspired to do so because they can clearly see that we, that whatever it is you do is genuinely there to solve a certain problem. And whatever that fucking problem is, uh, you need to make it real for your employees. Yeah. Right. So, um,
Starting point is 00:32:43 basically man, like the bottom line is is is you have to become an excellent educator you have to become a good inspirer of mission all right and uh you know the operation part you know your your systems be solid and all those things that's all part of it do we go into depth in this shit and arte syndicate this is what the fuck we do in there okay we start and it goes way deeper than this but you have to build your systems in a way that when your employees behave with the proper intent they get rewarded for the proper in the proper way yeah according to what they want to the intent yeah yeah yes and like bro this is like we're talking this is like you know this is not day one shit i'm talking about but the point of the matter is is that
Starting point is 00:33:31 what you have to do is you have to get people who are willing to solve whatever the fuck it is that you do in your business because that's what your business does it solves problems because they want to solve these problems the best way possible and if you get that you won't have any problems about stepping away and fucking going over here it's not about trust it's not about like will people steal yeah motherfuckers are going to steal okay there's going to be people that come in your company that are going to fucking do fucked up shit you cannot stop that you know what i'm saying but what you can do is define the intent of your entire operation and inspire people and teach them why operating with that proper intent actually helps build their lives too,
Starting point is 00:34:13 which is exactly how it fucking works. Yeah. So. Man, this was a fucking loaded episode, man. I loved it. Yeah. Well, I mean. You're pretty good.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Look, man. I've been doing this a long time you know what i'm saying like dude i try to that diminishing of standards over leadership like i've never heard it explained like that well that's how it works like that's how it works yeah i mean that's the reality of how it works so you have to be the top two levels of leadership have to be so fucking spot on all the time that it sets the entire standard for the rest of the company all the fucking time yeah you know and and and dude it's real simple if you're in that third tier and you want to get in that second tier fucking operate like that's what you gotta do yeah live like that you'll get noticed and then you'll get sucked up into it that's how it fucking works
Starting point is 00:35:05 man so you know people are like why why are you out here in the fucking rain doing cardio bro i'm like because i got a fucking standard to set dude you know what i'm saying like i would much rather be sitting at home in my fucking historic compound you know what i'm saying chilling like i would much rather be doing that well actually i wouldn't i actually like doing it because i know no one else is willing to do that's real but that's my own ego but the truth of the matter is like fuck dude i don't have to be doing any of this shit it's it's it's about pride dude i realize that my my voice carries power my fucking eyeballs on me carry power. I do the best that
Starting point is 00:35:47 I fucking can because I know that it fucking matters. You see what I'm saying? Like, do I make every fucking right move? No. Do I make mistakes? Yes, absolutely. But when I make them, I try to fucking learn right away and adjust and get better immediately. And you know why I do that? Because other people are fucking watching me, dude. You know how many young fucking entrepreneurs watch everything I fucking do? And like, like even the ones that don't follow me because they think I'm competitor or whatever, like, bro, I get it. You know, I'm just trying to operate at a standard that I think is appropriate for the next generations coming down the pipe. That's true. You know, and winning and having all the other cool shit,
Starting point is 00:36:27 letting them know it's okay with that too. Cause that shit is pretty fun. Does that make sense? So 100%. I've just never, I just felt like, I feel like if other, I feel like if other people took that responsibility serious,
Starting point is 00:36:38 like that's when we talk about personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion. I feel like if men, like if all men just said fuck it dude i'm gonna go all in on my own life and live the best fucking shit that i can the world with america will flip around immediately yeah it would just it would it would take a fucking year bro i think it's just an awareness thing man you know i'm saying like i don't know we've we've we've lost the idea of living to honor our previous generations that have gifted us with this opportunity, dude. Yeah. Like, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Dude, I come from a generation where I feel obligated to that still. Yeah. Like, I'm not saying I'm fucking the best fucking example of American, but I do my best at the most that I can do it. I try really fucking hard. Yeah. I take it serious like i i mean dude if we if we could all just get on that page a little bit the world be a much better place man you know that's that's all i'm trying to do dude yeah i'm not trying to be a guy who just comes on the show
Starting point is 00:37:37 and fucking runs his fucking mouth i mean i'm good at that but I would like to be someone that, you know, lives what the fuck he says. I try to do that. Yeah. You know? And if one person fucking can learn from that and take it. Cool. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah. That dude could be the dude to change the world. That could be the girl to change the world. That's it, man. That's real. Well, guys, Andy, that is three. Go pay the fee. Guys, I appreciate you.
