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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
