Starting point is 00:00:00 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 We have Q&A up. This is where you get a chance to submit the cues and I give you the AF These questions can be about anything that can be about personal development business how to win how to kick ass What's going on in the world? What do I think of this or that happy to answer your questions? You can submit those questions and I ask that you do because when you hit them in the DMs, bro, I can't answer your individual questions. Neither can the guys here who run my Instagram at least 75% of the time. It's just too many. So submit them here on the show, make them good. And I'll answer them because everybody's probably,
Starting point is 00:00:59 well, not everybody, but multiple people probably have the same question that you have. So DJ, where can they submit those questions? Guys, email those questions in to askandy at andyfrasella.com. That's DJ. Hello, children. My handsome co-host. What's up, bro? What's going on, man?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Stop interrupting me. I'm trying to do the intro. Okay. Other times, whenever you tune in, we have CTI. CTI is Cruise the Internet. We put topics up on the screen, and then we talk about them. We talk about what may be true, what probably isn't true, how we can individually be the collective solution to these problems. Because there is no one person that can solve any of these problems going on in the world. It's a collective effort in our day-to-day
Starting point is 00:01:43 lives every single day. And that's the point of CTI. Then sometimes we have real talk. Real talk is five to 20 minutes of real talk. And then there's full length. And full length is similar to what you guys will see on maybe like Rogan or some of these other great interview podcasts, except I'm not as great of an interviewer, but that's what we try to do. We try to do an interview. I call it a conversation it's the finer things you know i'm saying no you know right yeah right did you get that i got it you didn't laugh though no i know i did internally just wasn't that funny yeah all right that's fine
Starting point is 00:02:17 i don't i can't win them all all right so what's happening bro oh we do have a fee oh there is a fee for the show um and also remember guys guys, these shows are on YouTube. Now. We've been audio exclusive for eight and a half years. And now we're to a point where it's we're on YouTube. So full length episodes on YouTube. Audio episodes everywhere. Audio episodes are available that's of relevance. And we ask that if you find value in the show that you please share the show that's it i don't run ads on the show i don't leverage myself by
Starting point is 00:02:50 signing up with companies that want me to promote their shit uh i don't want to i don't want you guys to ever believe that i'm like saying things because these other people say i can or cannot and i ask just you know in exchange for that and the value that we provide here, that you share the show, man. Tell a friend, talk about it, help us grow the show. That's how we grow. We grow organically. It's value exchange.
Starting point is 00:03:12 That's what I believe in. If I do good, I get a good return. That's it. And I think that's fair. So that's, when I say pay the fee, that just means tell somebody. Yeah. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yeah. So what's up, man? Don't be a hoe. Share the show. Yeah, there we go. That's right. Yeah yeah yeah what's going on man christmas is almost here you excited i'm ready to stuff some stockings you know what i'm saying oh yeah are you have you always been a big like holiday person you know uh when we were growing up yeah for sure i mean like you know i i think holidays as a kid you
Starting point is 00:03:47 know i had good holidays as a kid i remember you know we we always had a good christmas and um we we got to go to see our cousins and we ran around and played and did all that you know it was fun and you know um it's a little different these days just because you're older and you know emily we know that santa ain't fucking real yeah i mean i'm saying a motherfucker like i'm saying it for everybody 24 fucking 7 365 dude right so like it's uh you know it's different i i like it though you know it's um i mean dude honestly i should appreciate it more like real talk like i should do more things and i'm trying to do more things especially as i'm realizing like the importance of celebrating
Starting point is 00:04:31 holidays because of how what they've done yes they've tried to make us like denounce our own holidays like fourth of july if you fly the flag and be patriotic you get called you've gotten called names for the last fucking five or six years and it's and now we're finding out because of what elon musk is exposing that all those people that called you names and shit we're all fucking bots or twitter employees promoting a fake narrative yeah so like i'm starting to realize and i've started to realize over the last few years that the cultural demoralization relies heavy on making the holidays irrelevant for most people and so i've tried to be where in the past maybe i've skipped holiday parties or not gone to things
Starting point is 00:05:18 because i didn't think they were that important i've been trying to really be better about that yeah you know what i mean intentional with them yeah because dude you know it does matter and it may not matter that much for me right now but like when i go around my nieces and nephews on both sides of the family like that shit's important bro like they're gonna remember that and like that you know so i guess like it goes along you know with me becoming more mature um i'm a slow i'm a slow maturing human all right it's just the truth um i still think farts are pretty fucking funny yeah i don't know like i'm just being real that's where i'm at does that make you immature i don't know
Starting point is 00:05:57 i don't know i i actually just think it's funny i i don't i don't fucking know unless they smell like the inside of an asshole that's not funny at all well it depends on who's ass it's true if it's yours it smells pretty good wait wait you don't like to smell your own mind no if you you don't think your own like dude when i smell my farts if it's like a real bad one i'm like i'm like oh you're proud there's a sense of pride there yeah i take fucking pride in that shit bro i'm excellence all the way around bro 360 excellence i wanted to be dirty yeah but if anybody else is that's fucked up right yeah get the fuck away from me yeah that's fucking wrong with you yeah exactly isn't everybody like that i'm not maybe it's an american thing if that doesn't make you want to share the show i don't know what this is high quality this is high quality in-depth content happening right here from holidays to
Starting point is 00:06:51 yeah the gas yeah i love it anyway well andy i do uh we got some good ones for you you always do knock these out man andy question number one uh andy i've been in the national guard for seven years uh and i have three years left on my contract but this past summer they told me to turn my gear in and said not to come to drill anymore and they were releasing me due to not taking the covid vaccine uh now that the tides have shifted they are dropping all the covid mandates and they want me to come back what the hell do i do go back uh do i go back with the appreciation of them dropping it or do i just tell them to fuck off well i i would probably take my job back you know um i think it's important for
Starting point is 00:07:33 all the members of the military and the police force who were let go or fucked with to go back and i know that might not sound like the right thing for you guys, but here's why I think it's important. Number one, I think eventually you'll probably end up getting some sort of back pay or, or reward punitive reward for what they've done. We're seeing that start the process of that starting and those things in our legal system take time. So that's the first thing.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But I think the most, the more important thing to think about is that those of you guys of the police and the, and the military and the fire and all of these nurses and all these important positions that were forced out for noncompliance, you, you guys are actually the critical thinkers of, of those situations. And in my opinion, the reason that that was forced through so hard is and i think this will come out eventually is that they wanted to remove the the dissenting voices to their agenda knowing that if they got rid of all the people that were willing
Starting point is 00:08:38 to stand up to the point of losing their job that they would have a much more compliant force to work with regard especially regarding the police and the military right and so i think it's very important for you guys who did make that stand if you're available to go back in because like without you who the fuck's going to stand up for the next tyrannical thing that they exactly so that's where my you know i can't make this call for you because your life is your life but i'm saying from an outside perspective 30 000 foot view of what i've been observing for the last few years i think it's important for you guys who maybe got forced out and like bro you might be sitting there being like well yeah fuck them and i understand that too yeah i must say there's definitely a bad taste yeah but i think but i think we're at a pivotal point in history where we are going to need those kind of people to stand up from
Starting point is 00:09:27 within these organizations and i think if you guys all fucking bail out and find new work and this and that and this i mean we're kind of in a much shittier position as a country yeah and so i think the right thing to do all things equal would be would be to go back, let this play out, okay? And then also understand how important it is to have people like you guys in those situations. Yeah, for sure, dude. I think that service part, a lot of people don't understand how critically important that is. You know what I'm saying? Because when you look at the percentage of people that are know are serving whether that's military or involved in first responders like compare it to
Starting point is 00:10:07 the masses it's a very small percentage of people right and if the if the percentage of the people that are serving we cut that in half let's say right you're only left with with people that can install the tyrannical shit right like the service part is a massive obligation i think a lot of people miss out also dude i i saw uh i had a guy i had a guy message me about the show that we did uh last saturday with ian smith where i talked about raising the police officers pay and he said well dude look most of us don't do this for pay well hey dumbass um i'm arguing that you should get paid like five times more just shut up yeah so, I'm not saying that you do it for money. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I'm saying that you deserve a lot more money. And if we did pay a lot more money, we would attract higher. Yes. Because bro, the reason the police force, see when I was growing up, dude,
Starting point is 00:10:57 you being a police officer was like a huge fucking honorable thing to want to be. And we don't have that anymore. And be and we don't have that anymore and the reason we don't have that anymore is because they've culturally made it a non-desirable profession right well if you have a non-desirable profession that's extremely hard to execute on every single day because dude look being a police officer ain't that much fun these motherfuckers get yelled at they deal with the fucking shittiest part of society. They're fucking constantly dealing with people who are fucking drunk and out of line and mentally ill. And like, bro, you guys wonder why some of these guys are so fucking pissed off all
Starting point is 00:11:34 the time. Well, you would be too if you dealt with what they deal with. But if the career was actually a well-rewarded career financially, which could easily be done if these people were not stealing our money, as I described on the show from Saturday, we would be able to get people to go in there and have a higher quality human being doing these jobs. And that gives us a standard now where the job is valued by the people doing it at a much higher level because dude you're making a lot more money so it's a more valuable career, which means that We can hold a higher standard inside the police force and push some of these fucking shit bags out That are making the whole entire police look like shit
Starting point is 00:12:20 Okay, because there will be enough people that desire the job that we don't have to have those those kind of cancerous weak uh abuses abuse of a power type police officers yeah like dude those people go automatically you can let go of them the reason they aren't let go of now is because you guys can't find enough people to do the fucking job because nobody is going to willing to work for the low yeah so like you know i'm an entrepreneur i know how to solve fucking problems like this so and when i say you guys deserve more money the dumbest thing you could do is argue with me about it because i'm actually creating the narrative out there on the big fucking stage that this should be something that people should push for so please don't take it personally you know i understand that most cops
Starting point is 00:13:03 are fucking really good good people both men and women that do the job. It's a thankless job. These are special kinds of people. This is why I deserve, why I think they deserve a much better career. Yeah. No, that's real,
Starting point is 00:13:14 man. So go back, go back and do it. Yeah. I think that's the right thing to do. All things consider where we are right now. I can tell you this dude. If I ever,
Starting point is 00:13:23 if I was ever fucking president, like real talk, like real. And I know some of you guys laugh at that shit but like bro i'm young i'm 43 you got time dude what happened where am i gonna be when i'm 63 okay i'm just telling you you ever put me in the fucking position that will happen yeah and we'll have it for teachers too and also you won't be paying fucking taxes like you pay. So maybe you should just hurry up and get me in there. Just saying. Andy, question number two. I am thinking about investing into a franchise.
Starting point is 00:13:54 It would be the first of its kind in my area. I believe in the company's core values, and the president founder has a good head on his shoulders. I have 60K liquid, okay, but I'll need another 500K in business loans to cover the total cost of getting a location started. What would your advice be to me in this situation? Well, look, I don't know the details of the franchise.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I mean, that's a pretty broad question. Like, I don't know. I haven't seen their financials. I don't know what company you're talking about. Like, I don't know. I haven't seen their financials. I don't know what company you're talking about. Like I'm taking your word for it. If you think that it's going to work for you, um, then you should go out and get the loan and fucking go after it.
Starting point is 00:14:39 But here's what I will say. Do not go do this. If you are not a hundred percent committed to making it work. This is a common misconception that people have about business, bro. They think that they're going to try things. They're going to stick their toe in, right? I'm going to stick my toe in the water and see how I like it. A hundred times out of a hundred, guess what? You ain't going to like it. Okay. So becoming great in business is far less about finding the right opportunity and far more about creating the opportunity that you do have into the right
Starting point is 00:15:11 opportunity. And this is something that people mistake and misconstrue when it comes to starting a business. Bro, this idea that you can quit when it gets difficult is what's holding you back. Most people, because society has gotten so soft now, they believe that whenever things get a little bit hard, that they should automatically just quit and change their path. But if you become one of these people that does this, this is the exact reason why most people never become anything. Because every single time, whatever it is they're trying to do gets difficult. They say, well, this isn't for me, bro. So I think I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and adjust and make a career change and go over here. Well, if you do that every two fucking years or every three
Starting point is 00:15:54 years, your whole entire life, you're always going to stay within that three-year window. This is the same analogy I use consistently about running a marathon, dude. If you run a marathon, I'm going to go run a marathon and you only get to mile 17. Every time you get to mile 17, your feet start hurting so bad, you fucking quit. And then you say, I'm going to start, I'm going to start a new marathon in a week and I'm going to make it through. And then you get to mile 17, you quit, you never can finish the marathon. And so it's the mentality that I think this person needs to really consider. It's's this is not try. I'm not going to try.
Starting point is 00:16:27 OK, you should go into this with I'm going to become the best franchisee in this organization that has ever existed in the history of the fucking company. And if you go in with that attitude, meaning I don't care what happens. I don't care how hard I got to work. I don't care how long it takes. I don't fucking care as long as I'm going to fucking get, I am going to get where the fuck I want to go. No matter what, if you could go in and with that attitude, then I would say, go do it. But if you're going at it, like I'm going to stick my toe in and try, this has the potential
Starting point is 00:16:57 to fucking financially ruin you for a very long time, because you're going to go out, you're going to get loans. And then when you get the loan, you're going to decide in two years, you don't like it. And now you're going to have 300 grand that you've got to fucking pay back. And how are you going to pay it back? So, so look, dude, this attitude, it's an, this is an attitude question. This is not a, this is not a technical, what should I do question. It doesn't matter if the, if the franchise is there, you know, selling snow cones or if it's fitness related or if it's food related or whatever. You can make your unit successful within that model.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I can guarantee it. And the goal should be as a franchisee to make the company, make your unit so fucking successful that the company looks at you and says, DJ, what the fuck are you doing, bro? This is amazing. Right. Right. Now, all of a sudden you're in, you're in the question and in the conversation for the big picture here. So, you know, I think this is just an attitude question. Um, and this person's asking for permission. I can't give you permission to do this, but whatever you decide to do, you better make sure you go at it with the all in attitude that I'm going to fucking make this work no matter what.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And that goes for anybody out there, whether you're starting a franchise or starting a business or whatever the fuck you're starting. It's way too common these days for people to think that they can just go after opportunity after opportunity after opportunity over the course of their life without realizing that your lifespan is limited and it goes by very quickly. All right. I can tell you that I'm in my fucking forties. All right. Yesterday I was fucking 19 years old, just starting this business yesterday. Like it fucking feels like yesterday to me when I look in the mirror and I see my gray hair and my gray beard and shit, I'm like, what the fuck happened like it's it's it's knees cracking and shit yeah fuck you man but my point is is that it goes by
Starting point is 00:18:54 quick guys and if you go if you continue to chase the next best opportunity you can you you cannot get anywhere because you legitimately waste your entire life in little two or three year spans. This is what most people do, bro. And by the way, here's the worst part about that. Those people work really hard for those two or three years. And the minute that it gets difficult, like where they have to like push through, that's when they're like, well, I guess this just isn't for me. And bro, that minute that you are trying to push through that one thing you're trying to push through there's a tremendous amount of progress on the other side of that this is a societal thing that's been that's been like normalized over the last three or four years and you see it dude like these people on the
Starting point is 00:19:40 internet who are like oh i'm just gonna buy a van and travel the fucking world. Okay, cool. Buy the van, travel the world, do that for two years, but then what? Because here's the reality. Most of these people are trying to escape having to do the real work. They're looking for a way to live. Oh, I'm just going to go around and travel in Airbnbs all my life. That's but when you're fucking 40 bro you're gonna wish you had other options besides traveling around in your fucking van right you see what i'm saying like i was in the gym yesterday and i heard one of our guys tell me actually he didn't tell me he was telling one of our other guys this is a guy now this is a guy i really fucking like and i hear i'm i'm i got my headphones on so they don't know that i don't have music on right i put my headphones in so nobody fucking talked to me it's the truth so when i
Starting point is 00:20:30 hear him say one one guy's talking to another guy and i love these dudes he goes you know what dude money don't mean shit to me man i want the experiences of life and blah blah blah i pull my headphone out and i said what'd you say and he goes well i want you know experience i said hey i said that sounds good until you ain't got no fucking money to experience anything that's right yeah fuck yeah and and he looked at me and he's like yeah i'm just saying i said look let me tell you something dude these people that you see saying this shit about i don't care about money and this and that and this those people will eventually care about money they just don't care about money right this fucking second right okay. Okay. So it's very, very important.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Money is very fucking important. Anybody that tells you money isn't important, never fucking had any, and they have no idea what the fuck they're talking about because the experiences that money can provide are 1 million fucking percent better than the experiences that you can have with no money. You guys like to make it like about material shit. I'm not talking about material shit. I'm talking about a rich, fulfilling life. You could change mother.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You could change the trajectory of motherfucking people's existence. Legacies. Yeah. With money, dude, you can't do that. And by the way, there's another aspect. And I stopped and talked to him again after this. And I said, Hey bro, also be very careful how you talk about money. Be very careful how you talk about money. Because if you're saying that shit because you
Starting point is 00:21:51 think it's the cool thing to say to your friends, that's fine. But also God in the universe fucking hears that. And if you verbally say, I don't care about money, money's not important to me, guess what? You ain't going to ever ever fucking have it'll never happen so you need to be very careful what you think and say when it comes to money money is a great fucking thing money is a fucking fantastic tool it should not be the defining characteristic of anybody's life nobody's saying that but having a lot of it is very fucking important it's very important yeah that's real you at least want enough of it to where you're not fucking stressed. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I'm not saying you have to be a billionaire. I'm not even saying you have to be a millionaire, even though you should at least want that. Okay. But dude, and there are diminishing returns. There are diminishing returns when it comes to money, making you happy. Okay. There's things you, when you start making money you will eventually get to a point where it doesn't matter to you anymore but the only reason it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:22:49 to you anymore is because you got so much fucking money right right right well that's when you have to change it about purpose to somebody else yeah dude look and that's the other thing like i've i've done well enough in my life to where i've you, I I've experienced all the me things. The, the best part about having a lot of money, real talk is fucking giving it away. It's doing shit for other people. It's creating a situation that changes the trajectory of other people's motherfucking lives. Like we're doing for that fucking school right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Facts. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Shit like that. Those kids that we're doing that for we're gonna we'll show you guys this we're gonna make a video post on youtube about this little project dj and i've been working on for a couple years now but those kids will that will change their lives forever you know i'm saying absolutely couldn't do that without money that's real shit that's if you can't
Starting point is 00:23:41 hope that shit together no no and you certainly ain't gonna get it in your fucking band bro no and no offense to anybody like dude i've got some really good friends that have like taken a couple years off and gone and done that shit it's been really cool but they all but those people also understand like i have to have my career shit this ends at some point yes like it's not it's and a lot of these young people see this shit and they hear these talking heads on the internet talking about life experience and fulfillment and all this shit. Bro, and these fucking people talking this shit have never done anything. They don't have any records for you to talk about. No, they're not fulfilled.
Starting point is 00:24:16 No, bro. It's a fake fucking, give me some fucking beads. Let me feel your energy. And let's do some meditation together and money doesn't matter. Well, money does fucking matter. And those people are full of shit. And if you go track any single one of those motherfuckers down in five years, ask them if money matters and they'll fucking ask you for some.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Right. Can't fill a gas tank up with meditation, bro. No shit, dude. It's real talk. Yeah. I'm a hum some premium in there. Oh man. Damn. Dude, there's just a lot of misinformation out there. There's a lot of really bad life advice on Instagram. A lot, a lot. I would say 80% of it. If you sent me eight fucking pieces of content from some of these fucking gurus,
Starting point is 00:25:07 I could tell you exactly why it's bullshit. Yeah. Real talk. Most of these people, guys, what they're trying to do is they're trying to perpetuate and create a customer for them. We see this a lot with situations where people aren't necessarily trying to help people. They're trying to groom them into a forever customer for them. To become that zombie.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yes. Yeah. And it's fucked up. It's predatory. It really is. That's right. But this actually kind of goes right into question number three, though. And question number three.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I'm a young chiropractor. You've mentioned many times on the show that professionals like chiropractors, lawyers, doctors, and others, they don't get the business expertise and experience in school when they're left out to dry in the real world. How do you recommend for one to begin educating themselves on the business side of things that includes payroll taxes etc in order to be successful how do you vet that information i guess with so much phony bullshit in the world well first of all man you're in that's absolutely true okay most professionals like architects uh medical professionals um chiropractors, like all these professions, lawyers, they are never truly taught how to run and operate a business. Okay. They're taught their trade. And then they're
Starting point is 00:26:32 given like a couple hours on the business side, which is usually like 20 year old fucking bullshit information. The best, the best thing about the era that we live in right now is that all of this shit is available on podcasts, essentially for fucking free. By the way, from people who actually did the shit that you've done, and I bet that if you go out there, there's probably a chiropractor podcast on how to fucking create a business out of it. But I'm glad that you're asking this question because it's extremely important. You have to know how to operate a business. You have to know how to do the books. You have to know how to hire and fire. You have to know how to build a culture. You have to know how to market. You have to know how to retain. You have to know how to handle your service. There's millions of
Starting point is 00:27:17 little moving pieces inside of those things I just said that they do not teach you in school. And so this is also why Ed and I fucking founded Arate Syndicate, which is the largest network of actual vetted entrepreneurs that have a business that are doing things in real life. And the value of joining this organization is not only, I would say it's 30% me and Ed doing the calls and 70% the people you're going to meet inside the group that are also aligned with your mission. These people become some of your best friends over the course of your life. And if you take, if you jump in RTA for a year or two, it's going to accelerate your
Starting point is 00:27:58 life by 20 fucking years, just because of the relationships you build, the skills you're going to learn, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And by the way, our goal in that program is for people to eventually move out of it and go kick ass. Okay? So like, you have an opportunity now to be a part.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Basically, what I'm trying to say is the information is out there more than it ever has been. You just got to look for it. Yeah. Okay. I would recommend you join our team. That's not a fucking pitch for our team. I don't give a fuck if you do or not. Um, we don't do it for the money. Both Ed and I do pretty fucking well. Uh, we do it because we feel obligated to actually teach people the real shit of what it takes to grow and operate and run a business and kick ass. If you want to get more specific to your profession,
Starting point is 00:28:47 you will find people in that group that are also aligned with that profession. And they're very open about sharing and working and basically building together. And I'm sure there's other podcasts out there that you can go find or information, YouTube channels that you can go find that are probably made by chiropractors
Starting point is 00:29:04 about how to run the chiropractic business so it's all there bro you just got to go look for it and let me ask you this question okay if you could if you could just say like what are the three words in your opinion that people need to like if they see these words pop up in the fucking video to just immediately scroll to the fucking next one right like like do not consume that information if it contains these three words in a headline or something like that what would you say man i don't know i don't know that there's three words i mean you have three words of mine i like to quick oh yeah quick easy free right right right yeah bro if it's quick easy or free throw that shit in the trash. Yeah. Okay. Nothing that's really good. It's quick, easy or free.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And that's a whole nother topic. Like guys, there is no fucking hack to any of this shit, bro. You're going to have to work your ass off. You're going to have to fucking be better than everybody. You're going to have to learn how to be great. You're going to have to learn skills. You're going to have to learn how to persevere. You're going to have to learn all of these different things that you may not possess at the level that you need to possess it to compete at the highest level. So my perspective is I want to be the best at what I do
Starting point is 00:30:15 in anything that I do. And so when I give you guys information, I'm not talking about just operating a business or being decent. I'm talking about being a motherfucking best at what you do, at least in your area. All right. I think that right now we live in the greatest time in history to be an entrepreneur because of how much great information there is out there for low cost or free. And then even at cost, like you got to remember when I was building a business, bro, there was no like way for me to like pay amount of money. And then hear from the actual CEO of companies that I admired.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Right. That didn't exist. Right. Like it didn't happen. Like the guys, the guys I looked up to, I had to watch them and observe them from afar and deduce what they were doing and break it down.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And then, you know, eventually I got to a point in my career where I fucking met those guys, but like I wasn't able in the beginning to literally hear them talk about how to build a business. And we live in an era now where that's available. However, and this comes with an asterisk on it, there's also an equal amount of wrong information that if you follow, you will end up getting your fucking ass beat. Okay. Because there's a lot of people out there that are pretending to be successful so that you will buy their shit and you have to be good at vetting them.
Starting point is 00:31:38 So when I say like, there's not really three words, I think the main thing that you have to look for is who are you learning from? Are they credible? Have they built real shit or are they just a coach? Right. Okay. Because when it comes to business, I don't want just a coach who talks about business, that motherfucker. I don't give a fuck how good they can talk. I don't care how good it sounds when they say it. I don't care how good of a speaker they are. They do not know the nitty gritty of what is really going to define whether or not you're successful or not. They don't know it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 They don't know it. And if they do pretend to know it, it's because they heard it from someone like me and they're repeating it. No, I'm being real. And I'm saying that real, like factual. I'm not saying like, there's a lot of other great coaches out there uh who have built real shit but the the amount of those people is probably the ratio is probably for every one of those people there's fucking 100 that are faking it okay so you have to discern you know and do your do do your shit like what's this person's company
Starting point is 00:32:43 how do they run it? Are they well-known? There's ways to tell. You just can't take people's word for it anymore because, dude, there's so many people out there that are willing to just take your money and pretend to coach you. They don't know shit. They really don't. How is someone going to walk you through a difficult situation that you're having if they've never fucking been through it right like i had a guy call me dude i had a guy call me out of arete now if you join arete you're not allowed to call me you don't get my number but this guy does have my number
Starting point is 00:33:15 because he's been in arete for since the beginning and uh we're friends now okay calls me up well he's probably listening to apply the shit you taught right huh but he's listening and applied the things yeah 100 and he fucking wins so he calls me and this is a couple weeks ago and he says he said hey man uh dude can i get 10 minutes and he never asked for my time so i knew it was important this was on a sunday he's like hey man you know you got 10 minutes i'm like yeah and normally i would say, you got 10 minutes. I'm like, yeah. And normally I would say, fuck you. Right. But this guy's earned that because he's, I've seen him go out and execute. And bro, if I see you take what I say and go out and execute, I'm going to give you my fucking time.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Cause I, you're already shown that you're willing to fucking do it. So it calls me up. I'm, I'm walking my, uh, 75 hard and he's like, Hey dude, I got a problem. And I'm like, what's that? And he's like, well, one of my stores, this guy owns a bunch of stores, okay? One of my stores, the entire staff quit. And not only did they quit, they ran it into the ground without me knowing it, and they've been purposefully pushing customers out the door. And then also my right-hand guy, the guy who I trust to manage all these people also quit because he said it's too big of a hole. So here this guy's calling me and he's saying,
Starting point is 00:34:35 I lost my right-hand guy and I lost a whole staff worth of guys. And they were pushing customers outside the door, creating intentional bad reputation. You know what I said? I said, man, you know what? That's happened to me too. And then I went through and I explained how all of the same thing had happened to me, how we corrected it, what we did. And guess what? Now he's on the path to having it fixed.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Your fucking 99, fucking $997 fucking fake ass coach out there doesn't know shit about those things right and that's the difference when you have real issues real motherfuckers know how to solve those issues because they've had them happen i've had that situation happen twice in my fucking 24 years twice in my 24 years i've had it happen so it was very easy for me to be like yeah all right bro uh step back from the edge. You don't got to jump. All right. Put the sledgehammer down. I understand that you feel very violated and,
Starting point is 00:35:30 and you know, like everybody quit on you and you probably feel very, I was able to describe exactly how he's feeling. Do you know why? Cause motherfucker, I've been there. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And this is the difference between finding real motherfuckers to teach you or people that just want to be a fucking life coach like it's it's totally different thing let's just meditate through it bro yeah yeah give me some more beads and the gas will go right in my car fuck man i really wish it worked like that guys andy that was three yeah that was three the fee. Yeah, don't be a hoe. Share the show.
