solution that presents itself. Real talk. That's five to 20 minutes of me just giving some real talk. Okay. And then full length, full length is typical podcast episode, interview style format.

not i'm not into it like i don't need to go to fucking uh iceland and sit in a fucking cold tub with 10 other dudes fucking doing chants and shit like if that's what listen bro listen man that's real that's real they do chance yes what's it what's it sound like i'm not gonna do it listen because some of my friends go do it yeah okay and i get it like that's i'm not knocking it i'm just saying it's not for me yeah like do whatever that's real yeah that's right listen it's not my thing bro like i don't i like my own i'm a i'm a i'm a you know i'm i'm perfectly comfortable dude in my like and you know what's weird too people people don't get that like they have a they take it personal like what's wrong with you yeah

like i don't like no dude like like i sometimes i post um you know i i have the lounge that i sit in over at night yeah uh where i may or may not partake in smoking of not tree leaves like not oak leaves yeah um but i sit there and i kind of watch tv bro i read my books. I do my thing. You know, I and I'll sometimes I post a picture from down there and people are like, bro, like you're all alone. I'm like, no shit.

No shit, dude. That's the point. No, you're not alone. You got ghost and shit. Yeah. The property is very haunted. Yeah. I guess real, real talk.

But I mean, I get it. People don't understand that. Like that shirt. Like, yeah. And it. But, I mean, I get it, though. People don't understand that, like, that shirt, like. Yeah, and it doesn't mean there's something wrong with me. Right. It doesn't mean that I'm, like, pissed off. It doesn't mean, like, I just don't, that's, I don't vibe like that. Right. Like, dude, I come home, I turn on some fucking music, I sit there, I relax, I decompress,

I think, I take time to think. It's great scenery. Yeah, I mean, like, dude, I get this, you know, and dude, but what I'm saying is, is I decompress. I think I take time to think. It's great scenery. Yeah. I mean, like, dude, I get this, you know, and dude, but what I'm saying is, is like, we don't think enough. Like we don't, we don't, we don't dream enough. Okay. Yeah.

Cause look, man, this phone has taken up all of our time and focus and energy. And we're 10, you know, maybe not even 10, but like 15, 20 years ago, there was a lot of downtime because I'm not on my phone all the time. So I'm able to sit there and think, and this is part of the reason why people have such a hard time working through what's actually going on in the world because they don't allow themselves enough time for critical thinking or creative thought. And so like when I'm sitting there, dude, you know, I usually have, I flip back and forth between the news channels of what's going on and I'm studying for CTI. Okay. To see the issues of the day. And I'm studying what kind of bullshit spin Fox puts on it. What kind of

bullshit spin MSNBC puts on it and CNN puts on it. So I can come in here and sort of deduce what I think is going on. And while I'm sitting there, I'm thinking, you know, and I'm focusing. And I'm also thinking about where I'm trying to go in life. And a lot of people, I, in my opinion, I think the one, two of the biggest reasons are, well, two of the biggest problems that we have, we have an unmotivated society and we have an uninformed society that can't think. And how can you be motivated? How can you have something to chase if you never take the time to think about what it is you want to chase right and that that

time that we would normally put into dreaming and visualizing and thinking about our future which by the way is coming no matter what the future is coming no matter what so you should decide what the fuck you want your future to look like and not float through the plastic grocery bag in the fucking wind, bro. You're not going to win that way in anything. You're going to be fucking miserable because the way culture and society is set up, it's set up for people to be fucking slaves. And if you don't figure out how to break out of that in some way, shape, or form, your entire life is going to depend on you basically fucking suffering because you didn't take it seriously. And you were spending so much time here that you never thought about what you could be or what you wanted to be or what it was possible to be.

And I think it's a big problem in society. So we don't have a motivated culture because there's no time to think about what it is we actually want. Yeah, you don't have the opportunity. Yeah that's real bro so maybe you should spend some time alone yeah and stay out of the mud pit with some weird dude rubbing your fucking feet i'm just saying it was my dad's idea yeah well andy guys i got some good ones for you got some good ones for you. I know you do. You always do. Let's get into this. Andy, question number one. Andy, being in education for almost 24 years as a teacher

and a lifetime, if you include my student years, each year I get more and more frustrated with the quote-unquote system. Learning from podcasts like yours, I know we are doing our children a disservice in preparing them for life. I have tried to incorporate my learning of success principles from books and podcasts

into my classroom through a daily message on the morning announcements, but I know it needs to be accelerated and improved. I would like to know what ideas or topics you would focus on first when developing a personal development program for middle school age students? Man, that's a good question. And I'm not sure I can do the answer justice without really thinking about it. But off the top of my head, you know, I think one of the things that those age kids need to understand is that, first of all, they're not limited by their race or by their upbringing or by their hardships that have happened to them,

or they growing up in a shitty family. There's plenty of examples in society, thousands, tens of thousands of examples in society of people who come from shitty places that do amazing things. And in fact, most of the people that do amazing things in life actually come from shitty places because success is so hard that you have to have a taste of the other side of it to really not want to taste that again. All right. And this is the reason why high performers seem to always have a hard story. It's not because they make up a hard story. It's because they've gone through some hard shit and they are running as fast as they can to never have to experience that again okay and that's generationally too like for their kids and great yeah yeah bro listen this this this is the truth most people that you

look at that you think oh they had it easier oh they got lucky or all this no the actual truth is their shit at one point in their life was so fucking fucked up that they never want to fucking go back to it. And this is why those people run people who grow up in a stable home that with no conflict and no, those people are actually less likely to feel like they need to change things. So what ends up happening is they end up repeating that exact same life. Or creating it. Yeah. So most of the people who succeed at a high level, they come from really bad shit. So that would be the first thing that I would want these kids to

understand. And the second thing, because I could talk about this all day, but the second most important thing that I think these kids need to understand is that things like confidence, self-esteem, the work ethic, fortitude know all of these things that we look at other people and we wish that we had they're not born with those things those things are created through action right okay and and because like dude i was taught my entire life that confidence and self-esteem and these qualities that we're talking about were just things that people had. And because I didn't have it, fuck, I got the short end of the stick. And this is very hard for someone who hasn't lived it to teach because they ended up where they are

by happenstance for the most part, right? They might've dedicated themselves to going to school to become an educator and worked hard for a couple of years. But the reality is after that, most of them stop and they live a life. They go on to live what people call life, which is just getting in the comfort zone, going to work, going home, paying your bills, and they never stop or they never keep going. They're just kind of there. And so they come to a place of understanding or belief that everybody out there, once they're 22 years old and they finished college or 23 or whatever the fuck it is, that that's just who they are. And they never change past that.

And that's just not the truth. Okay. The truth is, is that if you want these things that you admire in other people, it's up to you to go out and build them within yourself. And the way that you build them within yourself is by doing things that require those qualities. If you want confidence, you're going to have to overcome some things. You're going to have to, you're going to have to follow through on some of the things that you tell yourself you're going to do so that you can understand and believe that those things are actually possible and that you understand that you have these things. This is why I say the work comes before the belief because when you put in the work to overcome whatever it is that you're challenged with, and then you overcome it,

now you believe a little bit. And then you take the next challenge and you keep working, and then you overcome that challenge, and then you believe a little more. And then the third one comes along and you overcome that. And it's not long before you get to a point where you 100% believe in yourself. And now all of a sudden you have tons of confidence. Now all of a sudden you have tons of self-esteem. Now all of a sudden you have tons of confidence now all of a sudden you have tons of self-esteem now all of a sudden you're not questioning whether or not you have it or not you fucking know you have it and it doesn't matter what anybody says about you having it or not having it and so i think understanding and dude this is a this is where like the live hard program would be good for the teacher here to understand this concept of what I'm talking about.

She should definitely- It's hard to explain it if you don't, yeah. That person should read my book, 75 Hard, and also go listen to episode 208 and learn what I'm talking about, how to create these things. And I think had I been taught that those things could be created,

because dude, I always wanted those things. Like I always wanted to be disciplined. I always wanted to be confident. I always wanted to have grit and fortitude and be mentally tough, but I fucking wasn't. And so because I wasn't, I thought that I never could be. I thought I got screwed. I thought like I just wasn't born with it and that held me back until i figured out that that wasn't actually the case and i started to cultivate these qualities within myself so if you can if i could have learned that at a young age i mean fuck dude how much further would i be in all my goals right you know i'm saying bro i probably i probably would have been where i'm at now at 30 years old. You see what I'm saying? Absolutely. Dude, nobody explained it to me. And nobody does explain it. In fact, I think I'm the only motherfucker that actually explains it. And I know I'm the only motherfucker with a real program that actually helps people fix this shit.

They'll fucking sell you a bunch of books. They'll tell you to get on their therapy calls. They'll do all these things. That's fine. I'm not knocking therapy, bro. Some people people fucking need it but not everybody needs it most people need to fucking realize that they are in control of what the fuck their outcome it will be if they just decide that they do the critical tasks that they know they should already be doing and actually do them you see what i'm saying bro so it's uh i do think

it's awesome that we still got it's refreshing to hear a teacher like this yeah be concerned look dude look look i want to clarify that right now i get emails all the time from teachers yeah okay a hundred percent of those emails are thank yous. Okay. A lot of these teachers, like we knock the teachers, like I knock the teachers. And by the way, look, that's groupthink. I shouldn't be doing that. It's generalization. Yeah, that's right. I shouldn't be doing that.

Okay. But I have done it in the past. And how it should be said is there is enough bad teachers out there that they're poisoning the well of education. And the good teachers out there aren't working hard enough or aren't standing up hard enough to negate the good teachers of the bad teachers influence right that's the right way to say it right so i don't knock teachers bro without good teachers i wouldn't be who the i am i had a i had a lot of mediocre and i had some

shitty teachers but i also had one or two that changed my whole life okay and i'll never forget those fucking people. So teachers are incredibly important. And this is why, when I tell you guys like things need to change in the country, um, you know, like I believe that teachers should make two,

three, four times what they make. But I also believe that they should be quality individuals that actually give a fuck about these kids. Okay. These are, these should be people that are maybe executive level people that have decided, okay, I have this skillset. I have this talent. I can teach these people. I'm going to go teach

because the income drop-off isn't super fucking bad. I can still make enough money to live a great life, but I'll get my fulfillment from bringing these people up. All right. If we had that scenario versus this scenario where we pay them shit. Okay. We, the problem with main problem with the education system now is we're attracting, we're attracting a bunch of people that don't want to, that don't want to work for three months of the year. That's their whole, their, their whole fucking goal. Just like most people's whole fucking goal is to get to the weekend. A lot of these motherfuckers whole goal is either to indoctrinate their kids into what the fuck they believe or to get to that three months and like it doesn't really matter we have too many of those kinds of people how do we fix it we stop letting these people in washington piss our tax dollars away and steal our tax dollars

and misappropriate all our tax dollars and talk about where the fucking two or three trillion dollars from the pentagon go where the fucking billions of dollars that they're supposed to send to ukraine go etc etc etc stop letting these motherfuckers do that and take this money and reinvest it into our actual fucking infrastructure not bullshit infrastructure our actual infrastructure which actually pays teachers what the fuck they're worth if you want better teachers you're going to have to fucking make a better job. If you want better police, guess what? Same thing.

No, we should get rid of those. Dude, listen. I can't fix stupid, bro. Yeah. So I got a lot of ideas. And I know they will work. But you all think I'm crazy. So it is what the fuck it is.

Guys, Andy, question number two.y how important within reason are material things when it comes to increasing or achieving your success uh success uh this is not i know you talk about the 10 right but like the does actual material things can they level you up? Will they level you up, up that ladder of success? No, but also yes. So a lot of people think they can fake it till they make it. And they think they can go out and scrounge enough bucks up to get a fucking lamborghini right right and they think it's going to get you like somehow you're going to put this image out there and then it's going to get you what you're looking for which is the the client list or the your your

voice or your platform or etc and it's that's not how it works because the people who are above that level already we see what the fuck you're doing yeah like painfully obvious yes it's fucking painfully obvious yeah okay however once you're actually at the real level and you start you know like let's just use cars because i'm a car guy i have a world-class car collection. That's a matter of fact. The people I've met through car collecting who also own amazing collections are some of the richest motherfuckers on the planet. They're also the most connected.

They're also the nicest too, which is, it's weird, isn't it? No, it's not. Because the people who actually built real shit are usually pretty fucking humble because you have to be humble in order to keep getting better. If you can't keep getting better, you can't get to that level. Okay. So a lot of these people are some of the nicest, most generous, humble individuals on the planet. And it's the people who are scrounging the lamborghini

together that ruin the fucking reputation for everybody they're the assholes they're the ones that think they're superstars they're the ones that walk in and they're like don't you know who the fuck i am like these are fucking they're douchebags right okay and that will not get you in but if you work and build something that's impressive and eventually you get to a real level where you're buying some pretty nice things for yourself, that can open up relationships that you wouldn't have. And cars is a very good example

because the car culture is fucking global. Like it's global. Like if you like cars in Dubai and I like cars in missouri we're gonna get the fuck along right okay and by the way once we start getting along about those cars what else why might we do oh we might do some business together right you see what i'm saying right so like you know they're yeah so so that one conversation might get you another car yeah so do you know and it definitely does like bro bro, there's been one, two conversations I've had with people that

have made me tens of millions of dollars that I've met through networks. So your network does matter, but like, you can't fake your way into it. Nobody will like, that's real. Yeah. If that makes sense. So the answer is yes and no. Yeah. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't go out and buy a Huracan, but bro, really dude, like you're thinking about it the wrong way. Yeah. It's why you should really be thinking about it is how can I take that three grand a month that I'm leasing my Huracan on and then investing that three grand to actually building my brand or my company or my initiative, whatever it is I'm doing to become that much better.

Because that's what's impressive, bro. Like I can also tell you like in the car community, like there's some amazing success stories, bro. And those are the guys that get all the fucking love and the attention and the admiration from the rest of the car community. It's the guys who have a great story behind it and the people who just, and this is no fault of their own. You can't help this just like you can't help that you were born in a terrible situation. But some of these people were born very wealthy and they don't have a story and bro i feel bad for those kind of people because

they don't have a story they don't have a real story bro they're born on fucking third base and they don't have anything to show how the fuck they got there like and and due to reality like think of how much my story is part of my identity and who i am yeah you know what i mean like when? Like when people say, oh, there's Andy for Sella, they don't just say that. They say he did this and this and this and this and this. Right. You see what I'm saying? There's substance behind it. Yes.

And so like, dude, building something real, it's not the car. It's, it's the access. So the car will maybe get you access to some of these people, but they won't respect it. Once they learn your story and what the fuck you did, now you're fucking in. You're a superstar. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And dude, I feel bad for these people who were born wealthy because they never really

have an opportunity to do what I'm talking about. But also I will say, because I know people who listen to that show or listen to the show have been born that way, your guys' job is to take what the fuck you have and greatly and exponentially expand it. Yeah. Like you still have purpose, bro. And it's frustrating for a lot of these real, it's frustrating for me because I see a lot of them, these very wealthy people who were born that way. Um, you know, they really suffer, dude. They suffer from anxiety. they suffer from not fitting in they feel depressed all the time they feel like you know they don't belong like bro you

there's a very famous person that you got to witness conversation with me having um who said man you know like i grew up the son of a billionaire like people fucking hate that and i'm like bro nobody thinks of you like that like you're your own thing right we had a real fucking talk yeah like right in front of you remember that i know exactly what you're talking about and and dude you're weird because most people don't understand that that's an actual dialogue that people will have with themselves yeah no no no most people think that like you got it easy bro oh yeah dude dude and those people suffer from so many things because they feel like they don't have any true real identity outside of being a part of something that was already great. And that's very, very hard for people to deal with.

And so like when you shit on motherfuckers, like, you know, like, dude, you don't understand the mental anguish. And I understand this because I'm friends with people like this. Okay. And they voice these conversations. Yeah. Like, dude, you know i like they'll they'll they'll they'll be transparent with me and bro i wish i i wish i was able to have the opportunity to do what you did and they they become envious of that but not realizing that

they do have the opportunity to do what i've done and even more because there were born more resources available to them this is also why i get upset when people make fun of people who were born in a wealthy family who then have taken the fucking thing and built something bigger and then they say, oh, that guy was born rich. Okay, maybe that's true, but what the fuck have you built? What the fuck have you created? What have you done? And I think we need to start respecting people on what they've individually done, not where they were born or where they come from. That's fucking real. Would you, just real quick follow up, would you say, I mean, so cars are obviously, that's a big one. What are some other things that you see people trying to do the same exact thing with other material things? Yeah, like watches, not too much property

because you can't really fake the property. Right. But you see a lot of guys flying on the private jet one time and doing a whole photo shoot like there's 50 different shots 15 different outfits like that's the shit i'm talking about like bro you should be spending that energy and i'm gonna try and knock you guys bro i get it i've been there i've tried to fucking hustle i have hustled i fucking get it but what i'm saying is you would be better certain i'm so i don't want you guys to think i fucking mad at you like i fucking get it but what i'm saying is you would be better certain so i don't want you guys to think i mad at you like i get it yeah but what i'm saying is is like you would be better served taking that energy and that dollars and really pouring it into becoming a

highly skilled because time is going to go by very quickly you're going to be 10 20 years older in the blink of a eye and your wish that you had invested in that shit now versus trying to like impress a bunch of motherfuckers that you're not even gonna remember who the fuck they were that's real it's fucking real uh guys andy our third and final question uh and i will say this too you should always try to look your best you should always put off your best front. Like, if you only have one fucking suit, make sure that suit fucking fits you right.

Make sure it's tailored properly. Like, if you wear a watch from fucking Nordstrom's and not fucking Tiffany's, okay, that's okay. But make sure it goes with the outfit, all right? Make sure your shoes match. Make sure the battery works. Yeah, bro, look. Because, like, a lot of these dudes, like, I see like i see this a lot too man like when people get dressed up they they they

i don't even want to go here because it's gonna piss so many people off these nobody else is talking about these motherfuckers that put on a suit yeah and then it's a black shirt with a black tie bro you look like a fucking you look like you look like a fucking dude it's gonna park my car okay you don't look sharp yeah like some of y'all like i'm real real talk here like you need to make a little investment in your personal style you need to understand and i know i'm sitting here my gym clothes but guess what we record this show right after i fucking work out that's the way it is but and so that's how you mostly see me but i can promise you i put a lot of thought in my appearance and when i fucking

when i fucking show up, I look like a bad motherfucker everywhere I fucking go. Okay. That matters more than your fucking Lamborghini. Okay. And then the internal swagger, the internal confidence that you build within yourself, a company with your own personal appearance, that's what makes it work. It's not your fucking car. It's not your fucking watch. It's not your fucking car it's not your fucking watch it's not your fucking income it's the fucking confidence that you create through doing hard shit like the live hard program okay or 75 hard and then and then putting some effort into understanding how you're supposed to look like a lot of you motherfuckers like i don't know where the fuck you get your

style advice from but it ain't the fucking right place yeah and i mean that shit yeah and i'm by no means am i fucking liberace bro like i don't fucking know all the shit like i don't even i mean do you think it's because there's not enough examples showing them yes yes you know i'm saying yes 100 like i mean obviously you guys should follow like some men's fashion pages like david august that's where i get my suits from now you probably can't afford their suits their suits are like 12 grand a piece but you should aspire to have that like when i go in my closet bro every motherfucking suit is that okay they fit perfect when i walk the fuck out it looks fucking good that and by before that when i bought my shit at men's warehouse

i had the shit altered to fit me right it matters right okay so like put some fucking thought into it try to be better because and and by the way develop that confidence develop that that attitude that self-esteem because that shit permeates from you and that will get you and if you have good intentions and you're not a douchebag that will get you a million times farther than a fucking car that you're stretching to try and afford. Guys, Andy, our third and final question for you. Andy, question number three. Andy, how do you feel about the Brittany Griner

being released from Russian custody in a trade for such a well-known and dangerous arms dealer? Not to mention we also left two Marines in Russia. I think I feel the same way most people feel. I think it's a slap in the face yeah and i don't think britney grinder should be there anyway like she shouldn't be there she got caught with some fucking vape cartridge it really has nothing to do with britney grinder it has to do with how they handled the situation she shouldn't fucking be there those other two motherfuckers definitely shouldn't be there and they traded a very dangerous man apparently allegedly okay

because i don't believe anything these people say right so i don't know anything about this dude and so i'm saying this with a fucking asterisk but but allegedly this man is like very dangerous right and you released this dude they gave him a really bad nickname too black was it merchant of death yeah whatever it sounds like yeah but like we also had a pandemic of the unvaccinated exactly we also the valid point the unvaccinated need to be removed from society right their kids need to be taken away grandma they need to be put in fucking camps okay so let's that's fair it is fair it's fair so i don't know anything about that dude yeah so i don't and i don't believe our own fucking media i really don't and i And I don't, I haven't researched this, so I can't speak on it. But the fact, if that's true and we date, we, we trade somebody dangerous for an athlete that most people can't even say what fucking team she plays for. Okay. That's bullshit.

When we have two other fucking military members sitting over there in Russian jail, it's not only bullshit. It's fuck. It's completely fucked up. It's completely fucked up. None of those three should be there. None of those three should be there. And by the way, we probably should give them their people back to just give them back. Say, Hey, we'll send you your motherfuckers. You send us our motherfuckers that needs to happen. That it just does. Yeah. I'm tired of the United States acting as if they're the world police and that they can go into every country and it up and then act like we're doing so on the holiest of holy reasons that's just not the case it hasn't been the case in a long time

okay our country with people just like other people with us and and so like dude we need to get along better in the world like we shouldn't be fucking with russia's people they shouldn't be fucking with our people but the way it stands and the way it worked out it's a slap in the fucking face to every single actual american that loves this fucking country and that's why people are so pissed off about it yeah it has nothing to do with brady grinder she shouldn't be there anyway. Yeah. No, that's fucking real. It's bullshit. You're going to fucking let some fuckers rot who have fucking enlisted in our military to be a part of what is supposed to be a very patriotic act of serving their country and

serving us and helping protect us. You're going to let them rot for somebody that actually fucking has voiced very very very strong anti-american feelings over the course of her career that's fucking bullshit man i think it's also too it's important to remember and i still i still believe that she has the right to say those things and i still believe that she shouldn't be in that fucking prison right no matter how much i disagree with what the fuck she says. But the fact that we leave two other service people over there for now, that's fucking bullshit. And it's a whole.

This is about agitation. This is about getting people pissed off. This is about doing things that make people angry. And this is what their whole agenda, their whole administration has been about since day one it's fucking bullshit real world and and by the way i don't see anybody disagreeing with that on the internet either no i don't it doesn't matter where they come from it doesn't matter what they believe i would i think what i am seeing well what i'm not seeing enough of are people remembering that the only reason that russia even leveraged Brittany Griner to begin with was because our administration is funding a proxy war and completely disparaging and fucking defaming. They're fucking lying.

That's what I'm saying. So it's like, we got to remember. They're lying. And then they have a nerve to act like this is a win. Listen, dude, people ain't ready for that. No. People ain't ready to hear that. That's the other episode.

Yeah, that's right our media is lying about what's going on there and who's responsible for what and how it's being played out and by the way i said that the friday afternoon that the whole thing started okay so we are the agitators in that scenario and that fucking shit is bullshit yeah, if you want to hear more of that, you can listen to CTI every single day. Just give you a little taste of what to expect tomorrow's episode. Oh, shit. Well, guys, Andy. Is that three?

That was three. You got any more? We got time. I got time for a little bonus. Did you reconsider the mud baths? Would I reconsider the mud baths? Yeah. No. Okay. All right. That was a question? No. time for a little bonus did you reconsider the mud baths would i reconsider the mud baths yeah no okay all right that was a question because andy wanted some more here's number four oh

shit oh shit a little extra fire yeah you pay attention to that swag i just talked about i found some internet water buffalo shit you were doing in the gym just saying that's a good shit right there uh any question before i have a small clothing store that i opened three weeks before the mandatory shutdowns uh the store is small and doesn't have a shitload of items in there is that a reason or excuse that people aren't coming in. Uh, and when you started, did you have a lot of products or where did you work your way up to it? Okay. That's actually a very good question. Um, when I started, we only had 12, uh, $10,000 worth of inventory. Okay. Um, we financed it all on credit cards. And when we first opened, uh, people would come in and they would they would say well

you guys getting ready to go out of business and i'm like no we just opened yeah bro and that happened hundreds of times like probably thousands of times because we didn't have shit in the store yeah um i it took me a long time to realize what they were talking about like i didn't get it because the minute i said no we just opened like they wouldn't say any more about it right because they were embarrassed bad yeah so i didn't fucking get it like i just didn't fucking get it yeah and good thing i didn't get it because i never fucked it never like made me feel bad but like you know looking back yeah i realized what they were saying was holy shit you don't have anything in here so i think it's okay to not have a lot of stuff when you start i think the more important and i i don't think i know the more important thing

that somebody in that situation needs to worry about is really locking in the customers that you do have taking your time to build a relationship with them taking a time to be their friend taking time to get them the solution and also which requires a lot of discipline is to tell them when you don't actually have the solution for them or the clothes that they have or like you don't try to sell them bullshit uh because you're desperate right and that takes a lot of discipline when you're desperate so that's how I started. Same as this person. Answer the second part of the question.

Absolutely, when you have more, I built it up over time. And absolutely, when you have more product, you're going to have more people walk in the store. That's a reality of retail. Okay. And here's why it's important. Because people will call you or they will look or they will say i like this and this and this and they're thinking in terms of i'm going to get this there all right and the minute that they can't get what it is they expect to get from you

they automatically cross you off the list of places where they can get what they love yeah so when you increase the product offering you're allowing them to come in and purchase that product. Even if you don't think it's the best product, they're able to solve their problem in your location, which creates opportunity for you to have conversation, to educate them, to help them understand what it is that might be a better solution for them, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Can I clarify real quick? So you're talking about quantity of diversity, not just quantity of actual like-

Oh yeah, no, I'm talking about diversity of product offers. Gotcha. Okay, okay. I'm not talking about more inventory. I'm a dumbass, I was making sure. No, that's a good question. That's not a dumbass question um you don't need more inventory of shit you're already not selling right okay yeah but if you have more of an offering now you attract more people because all of those brands have their own customer base right and so when they can walk in and you they understand that you offer this and this and this this and this

or this style this style this it could be styles too, right? For a clothing store. These style, this style, that style, this style. And they understand that they can go there to solve their style problem. Now you're going to have more people walk in, which allows more opportunity for you to develop relationship, more opportunity for you to solve problem, more opportunity to create value, which creates more word of mouth. And when those stories are told, because you create an awesome experience, a buying experience for the consumer right there in their face, because of the technology that we're grateful to have, that also sucks to have in a lot of ways, but the word of mouth can spread instantly. So if you can create in a retail environment, amazing customer experiences, the light, and I'm talking about over the fucking

top. I'm not talking about bullshit. I'm talking about like, think of Chick-fil-A and then take it like 10 times further than that. And then you create that experience. Those people who are expecting a normal retail experience will be overwhelmed because they just experienced something that they haven't experienced in a decade or even ever. It's the best shopping experience they ever had. That's notable for people to share. And when they share that, that allows you more opportunities with more people. And that's how you scale your business out. All right. So it's all about creating, uh, you know, the, the value. And when, in the beginning, when you don't have inventory and you don't have funds to get inventory, the real only way you can do that is by spending real time with them.

Bro, when, when, when we first started our store, there would be two, three days in a row. We wouldn't have anybody come in like fucking nobody bro like like nobody like imagine that starting a store you have everything in your life and like you don't know anything about business by the way because i didn't know shit and there's nobody coming in you see what i'm saying and so when people would come in and i learned this by accident not because like i was smart or i knew this shit how i learned what i'm teaching you guys is that these people would come in and we didn't have we didn't have what they were looking for so and i was so bored i was just thankful to talk to anybody and because i was talking to talking to these people and being cool developing a relationship

we were talking about like do some of these people will come in, dude, and I'd talk to them for fucking two hours because I could. We'd be caught up talking about all these different things in life, and all of a sudden, I got a new friend. And that new friend will go out and say, dude, go check out that little vitamin store down there, man.

They don't have that much, but they're good dudes running it. And that's how we got started, bro. The people of Springfield, Missouri are responsible for this entire much, but they're good dudes running it. And that's how we got started, bro. The people of Springfield, Missouri are responsible for this entire fucking operation because they're good people. And they fucking cared about two young fucking dumbasses who were trying to make it. And we spent enough time with them where they felt like

referring their friends. And that's how we grew it. One by one by one by one. We didn't fucking advertise, dude. We couldn't afford to. Okay? It took us years to be able to advertise properly and it almost fuck it probably took took nine years for us to figure out advertising okay those first nine years is all word of mouth all of it all right and and that's the only option you have when you when you're underfunded you don't have capital the only thing you can do is you

could do it with effort yeah you can care you could give a fuck you can make these people your friend and if you make these people your friend even if they don't buy anything like someone like bro it didn't matter if someone bought something from me back then or not and it still doesn't they come in they might buy a fucking two dollar bar right i didn't give a fuck that i was grateful for that right like i you know what i mean like they could come in and and you know not buy anything and sometimes that would and dude that's how you know you're doing it right like when these customers start stopping in just to see you and they're not buying anything but they're just stopping and say what's up now you have an advocate

out on the street and you have a genuine friend bro because those genuine friends are the resp they're the people that are going to be responsible for your success or your failure yeah i i have a hard time understanding why it's so hard for that customer experience part to to because people don't think it matters yeah because they don't i can name a thousand stories that i've had a terrible i'll tell you why i'll tell you why because most people do what other companies do okay and it's been so long since we as human beings have had great experiences in stores that weren't top end that we like couldn't afford right that that we've just lowered our standard to what it is. And guys, you shouldn't spend money with companies

that don't do that for you, that don't truly try their very best. I'm not saying they're not going to fuck up. Right. I'm not saying that they don't make mistakes. But companies that don't try their very best to offer the best for you, you should not fucking spend your money with them.

Because what will happen then is that the standard will have to be raised. Because the companies won't, that's how we raise a standard economically. Mm-hmm. Right? Oh, man. Redirect your dollars because the companies won't that's how we raise a standard economically right oh man redirect your dollars to the companies that provide you the most amount of care and they actually give a fuck about you and then actually do the best job they can to accommodate you and

then you know the ones that treat you like shit don't fucking go there like don't go there it's a big deal and people aren't doing that now because the standard has been so low that it's low everywhere but it's not low everywhere you just have to look a little bit yeah okay and the reason people that own small businesses and even bigger businesses they blame it on the they blame it on the employee they say oh fucking employees suck or fuck well motherfucker you ain't first of all you ain't paying them shit second of all you ain't training them third of all you ain't explain why their job is important these people most of these people want to contribute they want to do a good job and they love whenever they do actually do a good job it builds confidence in them but most of the leadership in these companies is fucking shitty they fucking clock out on fucking thursday afternoon they don't

clock in until tuesday morning they're at the fucking lake playing golf with their buddies all over Instagram while their fucking people are working. And bro, it's run the wrong way. And that's why your employees suck. They don't suck. You suck. You haven't fucking given them the understanding of why they should be doing what they're doing. Very few people are high level operators if they don't understand why they are asked to do something. And how many jobs do you know, those of you listening, where they don't tell you why to do shit, they just tell you to do shit? That's a big fucking difference, bro.

I'll tell you, yes, it's a shit ton. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, bro, this is not how, and if we start to spend our money with companies that actually hold a higher standard and take pride in that, the competition will have to adjust in the entire standard of the of the fucking industry of whatever industry whether it be clothes whether it be fucking cars whether it be fucking anything will have to raise that's

that's what happens don't they die yes and that's that's how we as individuals economically force companies to raise their standards don't shop with companies that don't do the fucking extra shit i love it love it well guys andy but but dude back to the point that i don't know if that's a man or a woman but whoever it is doesn't matter you absolutely have the fucking tools to do this just because you're fucking underfunded just because because you don't have a selection like the other guys might have. You have the opportunity to build real relationships. You have the opportunity to make these people exceptionally and extraordinarily happy. I'm not talking about customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is doing the minimal amount to not have them pissed off at you. I'm talking about, and that's no, dude, that's 99% of companies. 99% of company standards,

customer satisfaction. That's a losing strategy, bro. Your goal is to not piss them off when your goal should be with the technology available, because this is amazing because never in a point of history ever before have people been able to tell their word of mouth stories to everybody they fucking know or have ever known in literally a click of a button. So when you hold this low standard and you don't create an amazing buying experience, you are going to get your ass kicked by somebody who does. And this person, this man or woman who owns this little business You're in a prime opportunity To eat the lunch of all the motherfuckers bigger than you because they automatically think they're going to beat you because you're fucking small

And that i've lived that way my whole life I started this company this company that's worth billions of dollars now on 12 fucking grand bro And I ate the lunch of everybody bigger than me by giving a fuck about my customers that's it that's the whole game and by the way you're gonna fuck it up sometimes you're gonna but make it right the best you can immediately immediately yeah like dude this is how the game works and you know those bigger companies that i mentioned here that we're gonna go surpass eventually they don't even see us coming bro they don't even see us coming and i want it that way so like don't i don't want this person to lose hope or be demoralized the underdog is in the

best position to win always because they have the availability to make an impact that really resonates with people because guess what people love? They love a fucking underdog. Okay. So don't worry about not having the selection. Don't worry about not having all the products. Worry about taking care of the opportunities that you do get to make those customers fucking love shopping with you and make them love telling the story of doing business with you. If you can do those two things, it will be a very short amount of time before you have the exact inventory that you want. And then you continue with that mentality that I'm talking about, and you'll surpass all these other people that are probably looking down and laughing at you right now. And I know that because they all laughed at me too. I had a competitor walk in my store after two weeks of

being open and tell me that it will only be a few months before I was out of business. I eventually built my company to where I ended up buying that motherfucker's company. Just so we fucking are clear. And it was the greatest day of my life. I didn't even have to buy it. I bought it because I fucking could. Damn. Because he walked into my store and talked that shit. So just remember that. Yeah. It's real shit. I love it. Yeah. I fucking love it.

Well, guys, Andy, that was four. Yeah. So share the show if you want some more. Oh! Damn, man. We two for two. Look at you. You thought about that on the toilet today. I guarantee you.damn, man. We two for two. Look at you. You thought about that on the toilet today. I guarantee you.

The entire time. Yeah, I know. All right, guys. That's the show. Please pay the fee. We're from sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a bowl.

Fuck a stove. Counted millions in the cold. Bad bitch. Booty swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. Just a note. Headshot, case closed
