Episode Date: August 23, 2022

In today's episode, Andy talks about how most people have the wrong idea about making money, why it's more important than ever to be financially successful, and the power money has to make the world a better place.

What is up guys, it's Andy Purcell 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 I'm going to give you a real talk, but I am going to go through the whole intro so that you people who are new understand what we do here. Sometimes when you tune in, we have CTI that stands for cruise the internet. That's where we put up headlines. We talk about current events going on. We make fun of them. We talk about what truth, uh, might be contained because we all know the media lies about fucking everything. It doesn't matter which media source we look at. They all fucking lie. Um, and then we talk about the lessons that are happening in the world and how we can contribute

to solve these lessons. Um, sometimes when you tune in, we have Q and f okay and uh that's where you submit your questions and i answer them uh it's a it's kind of a tribute to the old mfceo project which was the uh top entrepreneurial podcast uh of all fucking time okay it's a great fucking show um you should go back and listen to it it's in this feed you can at episode number one and you can work your way through. I don't think that there's a more complete entrepreneurial library available, especially for free. Sometimes when you tune in, it's real talk.

Oh, and by the way, where can they submit those? Ask, is it ask Andy? Yeah, email those questions into askandy at andypriscilla.com. Okay, thanks dude. Sometimes when you tune in, you're going to get real talk like we're going to do today. Okay. This is where it's like five to 20 minutes of me just giving you some shit. Today, I'm going to give you a piece of my mind

on the idea of making money. We're going to talk about that just a second. Sometimes when you tune in, it's going to be full length. Full length is where I bring on my successful, interesting friends who are kicking ass in life. We talk about how they got to be these amazing kick-ass people and how you could do the same. The whole gist of this show is to make you into a productive, kick-ass, badass motherfucker that takes no fucking prisoners and shows every single person around them what it looks like to win. That's what the fuck I want. Because if you do that, the world will automatically fix itself. Okay. Personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion.

You can't wait around for every government or any politician or any fucking anybody to come fix your shit. You got to fix your shit. That's what this show's about. But anyhow, I do have some important things to talk about today. It's been a few years since I've talked about the morality of making money and why it's an obligation for you to make money. I talk to a lot, there's a lot of new people since I sort of started this eight years ago. You guys who are 20 years old, you were 12 years old when I started this podcast. All right? So there's a whole new generation of people out in the world. And I'm talking directly to them in this show.

And also the older generation. For some reason, a lot of you have got it into your mind. And I know the reason, okay? It's cultural programming. They want you to see making money as a bad thing because if you are broke, they can more easily control the path of life that you were on. So when you look at society and why they villainize making money and why you believe that making money is kind of sort of bad and you say, well, I don't believe that. Well, then why aren't you out in the open with your desire to make a lot of fucking money?

Why do you hesitate to share that with people? Why do you get quiet when you talk about money? Why do you hesitate when you talk about money? It's because you know that in society, there's a whole bunch of people out there that believe making money is a bad thing. And I'm going to tell you why the fuck it isn't. And I'm also going to tell you why it not only is it not a bad thing, it's actually your fucking obligation to do so. Okay. So we can move past this, this limiting belief once and for all, for all of you guys who are just kind

of stepping into the game. All right. Let me explain something to you. You can't do any good without any motherfucking money. All right. I don't know how to get this through your head. You can't change the world. You can't improve your community. You can't do barely shit without making money. That's the reality. People who make money make the motherfucking world go round. And once you make money, you have a choice of whether you can invest in your communities, you can improve your communities, you can make a difference for the people who are suffering in your communities, you can lift people up. You can create jobs. You can create careers.

You have much more influence over your own world when you make making money a priority for yourself. Okay, so people will tell you, oh, well, you know, I don't need money because, you know, I donate my time making turkey sandwiches on Thanksgiving at the homeless shelter. Well, motherfucker, when you got millions and millions and millions of dollars, what can you make a bigger impact with?

Can you make a bigger impact going down and make a turkey fucking sandwiches? Or can you build 15 motherfucking homeless shelters that feed that many people? All right. So let's be real. Okay. You're using this as an excuse as to why the fuck you aren't out hustling. That's the truth. All your friends who poo-poo on your little ideas and your dreams and they make it seem like money is the root of all evil. No, the love of money is the root of

all evil, okay? Me and Vaughn, Vaughn's a pastor, we dissect this for literally four years on the MSCEO project, why it's a moral obligation for you to make money. Because when you go out and you put excellence into the world, you receive money as a byproduct for that excellence. That's the truth. That's how it works. We don't live in a world anymore where you can fuck people over and get rich. That's a fallacy that comes from the 70 years of media domination, where we only had three big players in the media space. We had print, we had radio, and we had television. And to get on those things, you had to have some money in the beginning. 70 years ago, those companies grew to massive companies and bought all the available

advertising space. That's why most of these companies are owned by five or six major huge companies. This gets into the whole agenda of what we're talking about with what's going on in the world, but that's neither here nor there. The point is that the companies that could afford to advertise in the beginning grew to an extremely massive, powerful size. Okay. And for 70 years, you couldn't have any recourse towards these companies. There was no social media. The word of mouth when these companies did bad things for the consumers and lied to the consumers and hurt the consumers took a massive amount of time to materialize. It took years and years and years and years and years. Okay. And so these companies are available to lie and cheat and steal and fuck people over

to get huge. This is the way it's always worked until the internet came along. And I'm going to explain that in just a second. But the reason I'm explaining all of this is because I need you to understand why your fucking parents and why your grandparents, when you say, I want to be rich and I want to be wealthy and I want to kick ass, why they say that's an evil thing. Okay. That's where it comes from. That's the root of where that story comes from. Now we live in a different age. Now we live in an age where there's instant feedback. We live in an age where there's instant feedback. We live in an age where there's much more transparency. We live in an age where there's many more options because of the internet.

There's social media. I can tell whether or not a product is good right now and then immediately go to my social media and tell every single person I'm connected good right now. And then immediately go to my social media and tell every single person I'm connected to right now, instead of taking years to spread word of mouth, positive or negative. Now it's instant. Okay. So now we live in a world where only the companies who actually are what the fuck they say they are and who actually make great shit and who actually do the best that they can most of the time. You know, you got to be great because there's instant feedback. Okay. We live in an entire different era where now, if you're going to stand out over

the course of time, if you're going to build an iconic name, if you're going to stand out over the course of time, if you're going to build an iconic name, if you're going to be a brand that stands the test of time, you must be the real deal because of the nature of how word of mouth spreads now. All right? So where for 70 years, you could get away with fucking people over, now you cannot.

All right. And that means for you to actually be great, you have to actually be great. And that's a good thing. That means you have to take care of your customers. That means you have to take care of your employees. It means you have to be a good person. Doesn't mean you have to be perfect. No, but it means you have to make a genuine effort to do what's right. Most of the time, if you're going to win over time, okay,

that makes the people who win in this sort of economy, the actual best. These are the people who are doing the right things. So the more you do the right things in this economy, the more money you make. All right. So let's get this fucking bullshit on the table. This shit about, oh, people who seek money are evil. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Bullshit. To be great now, you have to be the real deal. So that fucking whole story doesn't even apply anymore. All right. So let's just move that discussion off the fucking table. Now, we've already established you can do a lot more good with money than you can without it. And we've already established where the story comes from of, you know, not being wealthy and not pursuing success and blah, blah, all the shit the losers say.

All right. That's where it comes from. Now, the reality is it's your obligation to make a lot of money. It's an obligation for you to pursue money. Okay. You might say, well, I don't love money. You don't have to love money, but you have to understand the power of it as a tool in your life. Having money in your life always equates to a better life. People who say otherwise don't have any fucking money. You never hear a successful person spouting any of this bullshit. Okay. You never do. You never do. And there's a reason for it. And I can tell you the reason because I've lived as a broke person and I've also lived as

a wealthy person. The problems you have as a broke person are much, much, much more difficult than the problems you have as a wealthy person. As bad as the world seems to be sometimes for a wealthy person, when you can look at your bank account and say, hey, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and I'm still okay. That's a big fucking difference from the problems you have when you don't have any motherfucking options. That's the reality. And these socialists and these communists in our fucking country have culturally pushed out the idea of success because they understand that people without money are easier to control. This is fucking true. Okay. You guys who out there think that money is a bad thing or, you know, you hesitate, you are falling victim to the communist ideology. The communist ideology

is basically to villainize wins because if you villainize winning and people become hesitant to show wins and there's less and less and less wins guess what people forget how to do they forget how to motherfucking win and when they forget how to win and they forget how to be free and they forget how to be ambitious and they forget how to be free, and they forget how to be ambitious, and they forget how to dream, and they forget how to have imagination to solve problems, do you think that they are easier to control or that they are harder to control? So when you look around, and when they villainize the small business owner or the medium-sized business owner for being successful, but they glamorize a hedonistic

lifestyle with celebrities and make it seem like it's okay for them to be worth fucking $500 million, but not someone who came from the fucking dirt. Realize that there's a reason for that. There's a reason for that double standard. They don't want to glamorize the business owner or the entrepreneur or the self-made person that comes from the fucking regular everyday life of America because they don't want you to believe in the American dream. All of you out there who are entrepreneurs have an obligation to not only build amazing companies, but to show success and show wins so that it inspires the next generation. And for those of you who are hesitant in a little bit, even a little bit about saying you want money, about saying you want to be successful, about saying you want

to be wealthy, let me tell you something. You will never fucking be it. Because your hesitation is picked up by the universe. That energy, that resistance, that's what's going to keep you from getting it. So you have to remove this idea from your brain and from your heart that money is some sort of bad thing. And you have to replace it with the belief that not only are you going to go out and create something that produces a lot of money, but you are also going to do amazing shit with that money and that you are also going to do amazing shit with that money and that you were also going to live the example that sets the example for other people to pursue these things so

that the world can be a better motherfucking place. The shame that you have in money, the shame that you feel about pursuing money is implanted in you for a reason. And that reason is if there is no success to be witnessed, it is impossible for people to comprehend success. If we erase success from reality, how can you explain it to someone? It's the same way with freedom. If freedom dies here, how do you explain what freedom was like to people who have never witnessed fucking freedom? So it is an obligation for many reasons for you to pursue success financially. It is a noble thing. It is not a evil thing. It is not a bad thing. It is not something to be shamed. It is something to be celebrated.

Go out and fucking win. You want to shove it down the motherfucking throats of all these people disrupting your world, making it hard on you, making shit hard for all of us? You do that by winning. You do that by pursuing excellence and money will come with excellence. If you don't correct this belief, you will never have anything. So you need to really think about how you believe, what you believe, and why you believe it when it comes to your pursuit of earning an income. It's a huge fucking deal. It will make your life either extremely difficult because you lack it, or it will make your life extremely, a whole lot of other good shit because you got it.

That's the truth. And think about this when you see other people winning. When you see your friends get a win or you see somebody that came from a place like you get a win or when you see your competitors win, think about how you feel on the inside. Do you feel jealous?

Are you excited because it's showing you the way? Because you like to see people win. Because you like to see people make money. Because when you like to see that for other people, guess what comes more easily to you? A lot of you are self-sabotaging and you're not even aware of it. You need to make money. It's an obligation for you to be successful.

It's an obligation for you to be excellent. And when you're excellent, the money will always be there and you shouldn't feel fucking bad about it.
