REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 758. #75HARD vs Danny Miranda

Episode Date: August 9, 2024

On today's episode, Andy is joined in the studio by Danny Miranda. They discuss what made Danny Miranda want to start 75 Hard, how it's affected his close relationships with family and friends, and how the program has benefited him mentally and physically.

What is up guys, it's Andy Frisella 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 know you guys are used to having CTI on Friday, but we have a 75 hard versus instead. And this is going to be a really good one. The reason we don't have CTI is we have a bunch of people on their yearly vacation, including DJ. But we will be back on normal schedule next week with that. But you guys are going to get a lot out of this. I'm super excited to have a young man who I am greatly impressed by.

He has a podcast. He's a young guy out here getting it done. Quite honestly, if you haven't listened to the episode that I've done with him, which you should after this show, it's one of the best interviews that I've ever been given, and it's by my friend Danny Miranda. So welcome to the show, brother. Thank you for having me. How are you? I'm incredible.

Yeah. This is an amazing place to be, and obviously the facilities, everyone talks about it. To get a workout in here is like a breath of fresh air. I could spend all day here. Yeah, thanks, bro. Now, tell everybody a little bit about yourself. Like how old are you and what you got going on? Because, you know, I meet a lot of young entrepreneurs, uh, you know, through, through the show and just business and the things I do. And, and you've been one of my favorite guys that I've met along the way. And I just want people to know who you are.

So kind of give them the little info if you will. For sure. So I'm 29 years old. I'm originally from New York. I grew up in New York and moved to Austin, Texas two years ago. I started a podcast four years ago. And the reason why I started the podcast was because I started having amazing phone conversations with people who, all around the world, were people who, were people I wanted to learn from and people I was excited by. And I was like, I got to record these conversations, just conversations with friends. And that led to me recording them, originally just Zoom calls and Skype calls. And it led to me flying out to St. Louis to be here. And in this moment, this season of my life, I'm less fired up about podcasting than I am about coaching and helping

people mentally perform at their peak. Because I've realized the podcast is an amazing vehicle for helping people and growing myself and helping others. But helping people one on one is a different level of excitement. And I'm just blessed to be here in this moment. And I have to thank 75 Hard for bringing it all to happen and make it all happen. So thank you so much. What's your podcast? Tell everybody about it because I want them to check it out. Yeah. The Danny Miranda podcast. I interview entrepreneurs like yourself, high performers, people who are getting shit done in the world. And I am so blessed to be able to do deep research on people to really help them and help them. I want to know more about somebody than their significant other knows about them. And so that's how I've kind of separated myself in the whole process. You mentioned it was one

of your favorite interviews. Absolutely. The reason why is because I did more research on you than anyone who interviewed you. Yeah, I believe that. I listened to, must've been 30, 40, 50 hours of you in addition to being a fan of Real AF, in addition to listening to MFCEO for years. And so of course you're going to have the best experience. And so I think 75 Hard really drilled this home in me. You want to be better than most people? Just do more work, right? It's simple. But how often are people actually executing on that? It's rare. Yeah, it is. So dude, let's get right to it, man. How'd you hear about 75 Hard? What made you decide to go after it? And let's talk about that. Sure. So the first time I heard of it was September 15th, 2019. And I had just quit a job

that was paying me $10,000 a month. I could do it from anywhere. I was living in San Diego. Life was great, except I hated my life. And the reason why I hated it was because the job was easy. It wasn't in line with what I actually care about. And I knew I needed to change something. so I stopped the job I quit the job cold turkey and was like I'm gonna find a better way and then a week later 75 hard comes on my radar I have no idea how but I looked at the five tasks or six with the second workout I was like that's it that's something that I need to do and that's something that if I do I know I will be

in a different place. And so it started because I was in such a depressed state, so bad, and I didn't believe I could do what I said I was going to do. And so 75 Hard was found. I found it early on, right? Yeah, you've been talking about it. Yeah, I mean, since the beginning. Yeah, so I committed that night that I found it.

I was like, I'm starting tomorrow. I told my buddy that I was doing it. He said he would do it. I told my other buddy that I was doing it. And together, I just saw my life transform day by day, brick by brick. And by the middle of the program, I'm a completely different human being. My friends are texting me like, dude, what are you doing? Like I notice in how you're showing up in the world, it's so much different. And I knew that I was becoming a different person. I was

becoming somebody who could do what they said they were going to do and finish what they started. Which is a huge, huge, I think that's everything dude i think that's i think most everybody knows what they should do in the areas that are weak in their life right like we all know if we're a little overweight we got to get in shape we all know if our bank account's not right we need to make some more money we all know if we're not the best friend or the best human we need to improve we know what to. The problem is we have problems doing it. And I think that's what you're talking about there. You know, the ability to finish things,

the ability to fulfill the obligation that you make to yourself when you say, I'm going to do this thing. I really think that's most of the people out there's problem. I do not think the problem is that they don't know what to do. I mean, what do you think? I think you're absolutely right. And I know that 75 hard was the most difficult thing I had ever done in my life. At that point, I was 25 years old or 24 years old. And the fact that I could actually, what's so amazing about the program

is that 75 days seems like a long time, but by the time you do the first, you complete one day. If you can complete one day, you have showed yourself that you could actually do what you said you were going to do in that day. And guess what? Every day is day one. That's right. I love Tim Grover, one on everything, right? That's it, yeah. And it's like, if you just do that one day and complete that one day, you've proved to yourself that you can do what you say you're gonna do.

Yep. So just do it again. Yep, dude, I think that's such, that's the most simple way to describe high levels of achievement. Every single person listening right now has the ability to be a high achiever. They think it requires this complex algorithm of, you know, the stars aligning and

being born in the right place under the right kind of moon, you know, and having the right parents or the right this or the right that. When in reality, dude, it's very simple. Okay. If you can muster up the will and the drive and the discipline to make it through one single day, that's one day. And every single one of you listening can do that. There is no reason that you can't do it again tomorrow. And again, the next day. So if you can make it through one day, dude, you can win your whole life.

And I think when we break it down and make it that simple, it really resonates with people because, you know, we see all these, I guess, you know, for lack of a better term, just misrepresentations of what success is about. You know, we're told by our parents that you got to be lucky, or we're told by, you know, our teachers that, you know, you're not getting good enough grades, or we're told by all these people that are supposed to encourage us and help us and make us better, that there's all these reasons why we're not who we want to be or why we can't be who we want to be. When in reality, dude, if you can make it through one day, you can make it through your life. And that's what the program's designed to really help people understand. And I think most people that do the program right, it sticks. And I think that's the power of the program. You know what I'm saying?

When you started the first time, I mean, did you expect the results that you got? Did it make sense to you when you first started? Because a lot of people, when they start, they're like, I don't understand the point of all these things. And they kind of don't get it. I mean, how did you feel when you first started versus how you felt when you first finished the first time? Yeah. I knew that I was doing most of the tasks on 75 hard. I just wasn't doing them consistently. And so I knew if I stack these together day by day by day, brick by brick, I'm going to be a different person just by virtue of the fact that I can actually do what I say I'm going to do. So I knew it would be impactful. From the first day, I knew there was not a shadow of a doubt because I knew I was already doing them. And so it was a no-brainer for me in terms of committing to it. It was a no-brainer because I knew I would

see the benefits and I did. And what was so interesting was I was reviewing my notes today of my notes that I took the first time around. I could feel the first time that I almost quit or almost, I'm not going to do this or wow, this was a challenging day. And then I could feel another day. You know, the first one was 24 days in, I'm waking up at 1130 AM and I'm like, I haven't done any of my stuff. And then the next time is day 50 where I get food poisoning. And the difference between day 24 and day 50 is like, I still complete my workout day 50, day 24, I figured out a way. But those days I realized all my excuses were such bullshit. Yeah. You realize you're just lying to yourself. And so, but it's cool to have those days where you might quit or that you could give yourself an out. Those are the most important days because

those are the days when you gain the most strength. Those are the days when you sell yourself on the idea and you realize that, wait a minute, just because I had a bad moment doesn't mean I have to have a bad day. That's it. Right? Like a lot of people will take a bad interaction or a bad conversation or some bad news and they will make it a spread across their whole day. When in reality, dude, it's just a bad moment. Like it's a moment in time time and if you pick up right there and finish out the day and win the day you can actually minimize the amount of impact those moments have it's the opposite of what most people do right like most people amplify you know the one bad

thing that happens to them in the day and they're like fuck i had a terrible day it's like bro uh you know like there's people out here that are that are not being able to eat yeah you know what i mean there's people out here without a place to live like you you got some bad news you know you were you were not down an extra pound you know what i'm saying like you had to do an extra thing at work send an extra email it's not a bad fucking day yeah you know so let's talk a little bit about uh you know how because you've done the program how many times now? This is my fourth time. Fourth time doing it.

Day 55. Right now? Today. Yeah, okay. So when you first went through this process and you're not happy, you're not really in a place where you want to be, and you said, hey, I'm going to do this program. Where did that take you after that? Where it took me after that was exactly what you say not to do. I was drinking and partying and so happy that I completed it. And I felt immediately. Yeah. I felt like, wow, what did I just do? This is not fun. What was fun was actually building up to this point.

Yeah. And I got a huge moment of like, I went into depression after. I went into depression because I knew what I was capable of and now I wasn't doing what I said I was going to do. Yeah. And I was like, I'm disgusted with myself. And so it took me a few months and then I got back on the program. I started phase one and I was like, oh, I could do this whenever I want. I'm making the choice to be depressed right now. I'm making the choice to get mad at myself. Well, and the reason you're probably depressed, correct me if I'm wrong, is that you know what you're capable of and you're

living below that standard. That's it. And that's something that people have a hard time. Once you open up Pandora's box to what you're capable of and you start living below that, of course you're going to feel like shit, dude, because you know in your heart that you're living below what your potential is and that doesn't feel good. No. And so I just went into a tailspin and I think people, I wish I thought about what am I going to do after and prioritized it and made it a focus. Because looking back, that was the most obvious thing to do. You're creating a whole new person. And the person that you are creating is better than any person that you've ever been in your entire life. So when you go day 76, have a plan. You got to have a plan for day 76. You got

to start and continue having standards for yourself, maybe even higher than 75 hard requires. Because if you don't, you're just going to, you might go back to old habits and you might absolutely become a person that is even worse than the person who started the program. That's why I tell people so many times, I'm like, guys, this is not a diet. This is a mental program. And once you open up the possibilities for yourself, you try to go back to where you were, you're going to feel even worse. Because where you were before, you were ignorant to how you could be, right? If you don't know what you can be, then you don't know how bad you are. But once you shine a light on how you could be, right? If you don't know what you can be, then you don't

know how bad you are. But once you shine a light on how bad you are and you know that you could be more, that's a hard pill to live with when you know you're underperforming or holding a lower standard. You know, I, I'll just throw this in here. You know, for me, I've always struggled with my weight my whole life. I have a very easy time putting on weight. And it wasn't until I figured out that I could hold that standard for myself mentally that would keep my body in check where I was able to maintain the weight loss right like i've been i lost 110 pounds in 2016 and then you know i didn't we didn't start 75 hard till 2019 um but normally that's that's how it would have went for me it would have went you know two or three years and then i would have got fat again and And I've been able to keep it off, you know, fuck, I guess almost, you know, eight, nine years now. Um, because I understand the concept of living a standard, right? Like once you adopt a new standard for yourself, you have to live it. Otherwise you're going to feel bad. And I think it's very important for people to understand,

like once you understand that you're living below what it is you're supposed to live it's it's it's very important that you that you execute at a higher level because dude you will feel like shit about yourself and a lot of people will say oh they get off 75 hard and they just go back to the way they were. And I didn't feel I felt worse. No shit. Because now, you know, that you're capable of what you're capable of. And now you're you're not living that at all. You're trying to go back to who you used to be. And that's very painful.

And your heart and your soul and your mind is all telling you, dude, you don't want this. This is not you. You're you're supposed to be here. You can do this. You could be that. And you think about those internal conversations that we have about what we're capable of mentally, right? Like we're laying at home at night and we're kind of thinking about what we could be or what we could become or what we want to become or what we want to create or what we want to build. And we're thinking about all these things. And when we're not aware of what we're capable of, those visions are small. So they're not very far above like when we're living the, I would say, you know, a negative lifestyle, right? They're a little bit above that. But once you go for an extended period of time,

like 75 days, or let's say you do phase one right after where you go 105 days in a row, now you're very, very aware of what you're actually capable of. So like that level of where I used to live is so far below, you get what I'm saying? It's so far below what you're actually capable of that living like that is miserable. Like even living at a high level of what you used to think was high is still miserable. So it's something that you need to be prepared for before you go into it for sure. Yeah. I'm curious. You recently, it stopped for you, right? 75 hard stop for you in the sense of you were doing the program.

Yeah, just Saturday. Saturday. Yeah. You go to the ER. Yeah. What do you tell people in moments like that? And how do you respond to moments like that? I mean, there's things that happen.

You know, that's called life, man. Yeah. You know, sometimes there's going to be uncontrollable things. I woke up in the morning, I was throwing up. I had massive like pain in my stomach and went to my back and went up into my chest and I'm like, fuck, I'm having a heart attack. And, and I made, uh, I went to the hospital on an ambulance and I was there all day. And what it ended up being was an intestinal blockage from, I smoked three cigars the night before and it dehydrated me. And then I ate a super, like I ate steak that night, which I usually don't eat steak. I usually eat chicken or fish or shrimp.

And the combination of those two irritated my gallbladder and then also gave me an intestinal blockage. So like I was in the hospital until 6, 7 PM that night. Um, and, and dude, after that, I wasn't able to continue going. So what do I tell people? I just tell them the truth. Like there's things that happen. There's life that happens. And when that happens, it is what it is. Um, I've already done this year, 75 hard phase one and phase two. And I was doing 75 hard with my buddy who needed it to really get himself back on track. Yeah. So I just picked up where the next day.

And I mean, I'm not, I'm not doing it like officially, but I'm going to finish with him because I said I would. So I missed, I missed a day. Yeah. But I'm going to finish with him because I said I would. So I missed, I missed a day. Yeah. But I'm going to go ahead and finish. And if it were my first time through 75 hard this year, I would start right over. But because it's not, I'm just going to pick up where I was. Yeah. I think that, that part about, I was speaking to somebody who works here earlier and they were talking about how, if you've done the program multiple times, what happens is you miss a day and that's just life. And you understand you can get right back on the horse the next day.

Yeah. The first time going through, I had nightmares about drinking alcohol or about eating a donut. And it's like, now I'm just, this is life. Yeah, dude, it is life. I would say most of the time, even when I'm not tracking the program, I'm still living the program. It is pretty, it is very much so become a daily routine for me. I mean, all of those things every single day, whether you see me posting it or not posting it or saying what day I'm on or not, chances are I followed those things all day. The only thing that I might not follow a hundred

percent all the time is my diet right like i might i might eat you know good monday through saturday and have some sort you know go out to dinner or something saturday night kind of eat something but like dude even though even with that like my my off meals or my cheat meals, so to say, that I have when I'm not, like they're so much less damaging because like I don't, I've gone so far, like so many cumulative days now without eating all that shit that when I do eat it, I feel gross, dude. And so like, it's not even what I want when I actually want to go off plan. It's not even what I choose to eat. Like I used

to want to just gorge myself and I'd want to eat, you know, all the good foods, quote unquote. And the reality is, and dude, I remember used to be in, I remember when I used to be like, when I had zero discipline, I would like fantasize about becoming one of these people that like this stuff didn't affect them. Like I would notice friends or people I knew or guys that were good at, they were athletes, you know, and we would go, we would go out or we would go to a ball game or whatever, dude. And they're, they're eating on their plan. Right. And I always admired that. I was always like, how, what, like, how come I don't have that? Like, why, why are they able to do this? And it's no big deal. And I always wanted that for myself. And now I have it. Like, I don't even

crave any of that shit. And I know how hard that is for someone who's at the beginning stages to really understand. But when you put like the live hard program where you do 75 hard phase one, two, and three over the course of a year you're sort of weeding that out of your your system and and dude i can't tell you i mean you probably talked to a bunch of people too who after they started living this lifestyle i mean dude they don't really drink ever yeah uh they don't really i mean they're usually pretty ripped all the time uh and they're constantly moving forward in life they're not just stagnating and and staying still so it's kind of funny when people say oh dude you know it's just a it's a gimmick or a fad well i mean fuck dude i only know i don't know any fads the last six years

and get bigger as they go you know what i mean um but yeah dude i i think that's a good it's a good thing, though, you know, like I feel very proud about the discipline that I've cultivated. And and it's it's so good now where it doesn't even feel like discipline. It's just like it is what it is. Like, I don't have those mental struggles anymore. Like when I see someone drinking beer, I don't think like, oh, I need to drink beer. Or when I see someone eating pizza, it doesn't make me want pizza. Like I don't even, I don't like it used to be like the first time I did 75 hard, even the first year I did live hard. Those were mental conversations I had. You know,

we talk about in the book, the boss voice and the bitch voice. But when you get so far down the path, the boss voice just becomes your default setting. And it's not a struggle anymore. There's no longer this contentious conversation happening on the inside of your brain, the little angel and the little devil. It's just, this is what I'm doing and I don't compromise it. And I think that's the power of the lifestyle in general. What do you think, dude? I think you're absolutely right. And I'm so happy you brought up the drinking piece because I so specifically remember during the program, I was 24 years old living in San Diego and I would use the fact that I was doing

75 hard as an excuse to tell people I wasn't drinking because I was insecure about that fact. Yeah. Well, were you in the drinking lifestyle? I was too. Yeah. So I was partying every weekend and I wanted to go out still, but I was insecure about the fact that I wasn't drinking, which now that I think about it, it's an entirely different reality than the one I currently live in. It's so wild how you progress. Now I'm proud to not drink. But there was a moment there where that was part of my identity. That's part of who I was. And so one thing that I'm,

this conversation is just making me think of, it's like, there's a lot of people whose identity right now listening here is I'm a drinker and I drink alcohol and that's an important part. Well, okay, well do 75 hard. You have an excuse away around it in that moment so that you can eventually be secure in the fact that you don't drink. You know, what was hard for me at first was because the drinking lifestyle was such

a big part of my social existence. You know, um, I knew the people where I would go to drink at. I had my friends that I drank with. And it was hard for me to see my life outside of that because that was such a big part of my life. And I think it's important for people to realize that once you kind of unplug from that and you see it for what it is, it's really just not, it's just not a healthy way to live. And I don't mean that like physically healthy. I mean, just overall, man, you know, a lot of people spend their whole lives in a bar and, you know, when you unplug from that and you start to recognize it, you know, one of the things that really helped me realize why I didn't like it is like if you go to a bar and you imagine, imagine there being no music and imagine like all the lights on. Right. And then imagine what that looks like. Right. That's that's what you're at. it like that and see it for what it is and then you see all these people when you look around and they're none of them are in shape they all look sick they all

look ten years older than what they are and you start to realize like dude this is just just not what I want to be around and so you unplug and you start to build better relationships with people who are aligned with progress people who are aligned with healthier lifestyle people who are aligned with healthier lifestyle. And dude, when you're in the bar scene and you hear that, you're like, that sounds corny. That doesn't sound fun at all. But dude, I can't tell you how much better. I mean, it's a thousand times better. It's inconceivably better to unplug yourself from that social scene and live a, you know, I still drink occasionally, but I would say most of the time I'm sober life, right?

Yeah. And it's one thing to hear that on a podcast. It's another thing to have the lived experience of on day 76, you drink a beer and you're like, wait, I missed the program. Yeah. And that completely shifts everything. Yeah.

When you actually feel winning is actually doing this and losing is actually the thing that we do to celebrate. And that was the hugest mind fuck for me. We celebrate doing the thing that hurts us. This makes no sense. I mean, I got on people on Twitter, I posted on my birthday i was like isn't it so fascinating that we celebrate birthdays by cake and people were like this guy he has no life yeah and i'm like well you're actively doing something that hurts you yeah where does that come from yeah and why do we celebrate by doing things that actively hurt us yeah that makes no fucking sense to me.

It doesn't to me either, but it always did before. It did before. And I think that's an awareness that you have to come to on your own. Dude, let me ask you this. You know, we talk a lot about the benefits, the mental benefits of 75 hard, right?

The confidence, the grit, the self-esteem, the self-belief, the ability to endure. Let's talk about some of those character traits and how this helped you develop, not just the first time through, but over the last five years or so. So, I mean, there's so many examples, but- Yeah, well, just, dude, you got the open mic, bro. Yeah.

Let it rip. So what happened was the first time I noticed the program actually making an impact on me after I had done it was when I started to meditate 60 minutes a day from May 2020 to December of 2020. I started meditating when I did the program. So it was basically 75 hard plus a meditation of 15 minutes in the morning when I started. And then after it was over, I did 60 minutes of meditation and I carried that through for the rest of the year.

And- Now, how do you do that? You sit down, close your eyes, you put a blanket over you, you put your feet out or put them on the floor and just witness what comes up. We spend so much of our time in other people's worlds through Instagram, through the TV, through the internet, through podcasts. But what are you thinking? Your voice is as important as any of those that you're listening to. So I realized that and I started

to meditate 60 minutes a day. And what I realized, it was a 60 minute a day challenge for 60 days. I realized somewhere around day 30, there is no shot that I would have completed this challenge had it not been for doing 75 hard. Because there was a moment where it was making an impact, but I didn't really see it. And then I said to myself, I'm going to continue doing this because I know if I get to the end of this, I'm going to be a different person. And I have faith that if I take the appropriate action, I will be a different person. And so I continued and I continued and it changed my life. It changed my perception of myself and it changed everything. I saw my reality shift. One way it shifted in September of 2020 was I started the podcast and because I'm meditating every day, I'm doing 75

hard and the live hard program. I'm now talking to people. I want to talk to people about my experience. So those were within one year. I mean, within one year, I can't do what I say I'm going to do to now I have a podcast and I'm doing three episodes a week. I mean, that's a completely different reality. And I'm meditating 60 minutes a day during the time when everyone's losing their mind. So that was a cool moment of building mental toughness grit and discipline what you notice is it gets bigger and bigger just on on december 31st of this year or december 30th of 2023 rather my buddy matt choi text me and he says hey do you want to run a marathon tomorrow i said yeah let's do it i knew i was that person who was capable of doing that,

but it was only because of 75 hard that I knew that I wouldn't have done that. I'd ran a marathon a month prior, but I wouldn't have done that had it not been for, for doing 75 hard. So the ways in which this program shapes you is phenomenal. Now, what do you, when you talk about like, you know, when we talk about like the grit, the confidence, the self-esteem, you know we talk about like the grit the confidence of self-esteem you know as you're making this progress from someone who can't do what they say they're going to do to someone who's clearly moving down the path of progress did you find that the more you dug into this lifestyle the more those skills compounded for you absolutely I mean it's I mean, it's not a question, but what's interesting is that every time I think I have it figured out and every time I'm like, no, I don't need the program, I go to a low

that is needed where I need to recalibrate. And I think if I spend three months off the program, I'm like, something's wrong, something's off, and I need to change something. I mean, dude, I went through this breakup three months ago, three months ago almost to this day, and I was the lowest that I've ever been in my entire life, just feeling like, who am I? What am i doing and it was a month of just being in absolute

distress and and sorrow and and sadness and it was only until my friend talia was like you know you mentioned doing 75 hard i'm gonna do that you want to do with me i was like yes that changed my life doing it on june 15th started in the program again so it's like yeah it's a great tool for recalibration that's it that's the thing is like it's you know people think you can do something once right you can go on a diet once or you can uh you know train for a marathon and do it once, or you can, you know, do 75 hard once, and it's going to stick. Listen, these skills that we talk about, discipline, grit, fortitude, self-belief, confidence, the ability to endure, all of these things are perishable. They are

things that will go down if you do not practice them if you don't practice playing the guitar you're going to get worse at guitar playing if you don't shoot on a regular basis you're going to become a worse shot alright if you don't shoot baskets every single day guess what you're not going to be as good as you could be and it. And if you don't take a shower, guess what? You're going to stink. And that's the thing about this program is that that's why it's designed in a framework of one year. All right. It's 75 days for those of you guys that don't know. Then it's phase one is 30 days. Phase two is 30 days and phase three is 30 days. And they are all spaced out at your discretion throughout the

year, except phase three. Phase three is done 30 days prior to the anniversary of you starting 75 hard the year before. Okay. And the purpose of this is so that we can keep these skills sharp. All right. Because just because you do 75 hard once doesn't mean that your discipline is going to be at a high level for the rest of the year. It doesn't even last that long. That's the thing. What does last that long is your awareness. Your awareness lasts forever because like we talked about before, you're now understanding what you're capable of. You're now understanding what your potential is and what it could be

if you execute it all the time. All right. But the ability to execute is a different story. Your confidence staying high, your confidence isn't going to stay high all the time. You're going to have dings on your confidence. You're going to have breakups. You're going to have career changes. You're going to have unexpected hardships. That's called life, dude. And we have to know when it's time to, you know, take another shower, right? Or recalibrate our discipline and our toughness and our mental fortitude and our ability, you know, to endure and our confidence and all these things. We have to look at those as if they are sliding scales that are always moving.

And I like to compare this to like, you know, a video game, right? Like let's just, you know, Madden football is a game I used to play and you get a football player and you'd have a guy on there that had speed 99 and then strength, you know, he had 80 and then his agility was like 90 and they had all these different levels. And if you think about yourself like that, and you think about the categories being discipline, grit, fortitude, mental toughness, confidence, belief, all of these self-esteem, all of these things, they're always moving up and down because of the environment that we're living in. Because nobody is so immune and so strong

that they can just stay at the top level all the time nobody there's not a single person on earth we i mean we see this in sports all the time right we see the pitcher who's a phenomenal pitcher and then all of a sudden he loses his shit and can't throw a fucking strike right or we see a football guy who was an amazing player all through college and then he gets to the pros, and he's horrible. The reason isn't skill, dude. The reason is somewhere in that mental mindset, they have allowed their levels to go down, and they haven't figured out how to replenish them. So we as achievers, like, dude, look, anybody listening to this show, you have goals for achievement or else you wouldn't be listening.

So we, all of us listening as high achievers or want to be high achievers, we have to realize that we have to constantly be assessing where we are, right? We have to self-assess. Where am I? Like you just said, I just went through this breakup. I'm really low. I need to get my shit back together. Yes, I'm going to use this tool to get it back to where it needs to be. And that's how I look at the program.

And that's how you should look at the program. You shouldn't look at it as a cure-all, be-all, one-time, one-stop shop. You should look at it as, okay, I did the program. I've got the awareness. I understand how to build these things. And then the next step past that is being aware enough to self-evaluate as you go through your life to know when you need to sharpen the blade, so to speak. And those two things, the ability to execute on 75 hard once, and then the ability to know when you need it again bro i i think if you can if you

can do that i don't think that you can i think the limits of of a human are almost non-existent because we like i said on the compounding effect the longer you do it the more you invest just like like we say when you don't do it and it goes down the more you do it, the more you invest. Just like we say, when you don't do it and it goes down, the more you do it, the higher it goes. So the higher your levels go. And dude, to be a high achiever on a high level, you're competing with the best in the world. So whether you want to believe that or not, you are. And when you think about where your levels need to be, it has to be something that you're, you know, like when you start to let it it when you start to notice that it dips you should be right on that and say alright dude it's time for me to recalibrate phase one should start now

phase two should start now right 75 hearts should start now and I think that's a very very very important way to look at the at this program as a tool not as a cure it's not a cure it cure. It's never been told. I've never told you guys it was a cure. It's never been presented as a cure. It's presented as a tool that we use when we realize that we need it. Absolutely. And what I was thinking about on, that was so beautifully said, I was on a run this morning and I realized that I am the way. I am the way out of every situation I need to get out of or every situation I want to go towards. I am the way. You are the way. There's nobody else that's going to come save you. There's nobody else that's coming for you and

checking off your tasks for you. You are the way for everything. And if people really understood that, they would get excited when the day gets hard. They would get excited when there's two workouts and it's four o'clock in the afternoon and you haven't done it. They'd get excited for when life throws them a curve ball because you're the way out. And when you understand that and live that,

you become a different person. Bro, it's a chance, it's a test. Every single day where you have those days where it's like, dude, I'm having one today, to be just completely honest. Like today, I procrastinated so hard on training because I've just had one thing after another after another in my business life today,

and I didn't want to train. And I did. I had a great workout. But the point is that you start to look at those, to your point, you start to look at those times as an opportunity as opposed to something that's negative, right? Like, okay, cool. I woke up at 4.

I still got two workouts to go today. That's an opportunity to prove to myself that I can overcome this and get this done, right? Yeah, it's midnight. I haven't got my second workout in. You know what? I'm going to go do it. And then when you do it, those hard workouts are the ones that pay you the most, right? Those critical tasks that we accomplish when your back is against the wall is when you learn that you actually are capable of doing these

things. And so, you know, as you start to progress mentally, yeah, dude, I think it's absolutely true that when tests present themselves, you get excited about it as opposed to demoralized, I think, whenever, you know, what most people do. Yeah. You know, what's so interesting is this is my fourth time through the program and I have not, I've every single day I've gotten it done before 7 p.m. at night. There's been no moment where it's nine o'clock or 11 o'clock. I'm laying in bed and I'm like, wow, isn't that the win as well? The fact that you're talking about,

you figured it out. Yeah. That you can actually get your shit done. Yeah. There's no, and that was so fascinating for me to realize is I used to procrastinate this. I used to wait until the end. And that was my way of coping. But when you realize and do this program enough, you realize you're going to do it one way or another. So might as well do it early. Yeah. I noticed that too, man. The more I've, now that you say that, like I don't have those days anymore where it's midnight and I got to get out and do my thing.

Like that's not, like if I know I'm having a hard day tomorrow, meaning my schedule is packed, I figure it out, dude. I get up an hour earlier, two hours earlier, or I make time to get it done because I don't want to be out doing it. And dude, that's a valuable skill as well. The time management aspect that this program teaches people, I think is one of the biggest benefits of the program. And a lot of people, when they first look at it, they say, there's no way I have time to do all this. I'm busy. And then when they're like, fuck it, I'm going to do it. They get like two weeks in and they're like, dude, I actually have way more time because I know that I can't be distracted with bullshit. I can't allow people to steal my time. And one of the things that was really good for me was not just the time management, but it was also the realization of

how many people and how much time was being stolen from me over nothing. My tolerance for bullshit went to zero. My tolerance for other people's excuses went to zero. And it really showed me a lot about other people when I started figuring this out, because like, dude, when you're living at a high standard and you're doing all these things and you're around people that aren't even trying, or you're around people that are making excuses, or you're around people that are saying, oh my God, I'm so busy when they really don't do shit. It starts to wear you out real quick because you're paying the price it's kind of like having to do a job with like a you know it's you and four other people and we got to move this pile of rocks from

over here to over there and you're doing all the shoveling and they're not doing shit you start to be like well fuck you guys and dude it eliminates a lot of the weak relationships out of your life that's something it did for me that i'm very thankful for and you know of course people get upset about that because they're like oh well, well, you got too good for us. No, dude, I'm just on a different path. I'm trying to squeeze out everything that I can squeeze out. I'm not trying to be a normal motherfucker, dude. I'm not trying to wake up every day, go to my job, get paid, go home and repeat that cycle for.

I'm trying to be the best that I can be so that like when my time comes i can say all right dude you left it out there on the field bro you know what i'm saying i'm not gonna have regrets now i might have some regrets like maybe i will regret that i didn't you know do more fun things or whatever but dude that's just not the way i'm wired i'm wired for achievement i'm wired for battle and um i have to have a fight you You know, warriors got to have a war. And for me, I love the fact that I'm constantly getting better. And I love the fact that as I'm constantly getting better, the people around me and the people that I attract and the relationships that I build, even now in my 40s, I'm meeting

people who are of higher standard. I'm meeting people who are of higher standard. I'm meeting people who hold a higher standard. All of my friends now, they're all sort of the same. They're not out getting wasted and shit. They're all focused. They're all willing to work hard. They're all moving in the same direction. And dude, that feels a hell of a lot better than being the only guy in your circle that's running hard.

You know what I mean? Yeah. When you're high energy and you're living a life that's in alignment to you, it really puts a magnifying glass on the people who are not. Bro. And when you see that and experience that, you just get excited. I do to continue pushing that path because the people in my life just keep getting better and better and better. Yeah. And at younger and younger ages. Yeah. So it's like, I have a 22 year old friend and better. Yeah. And at younger and younger ages. Yeah. So it's like I have a 22-year-old friend right now named Ben. And I'm like, this guy is so self-aware. He cares so much about life.

He's trying so hard. This guy is someone I want to be around. Yeah. And it's like, where were those people when I was 22? Bro, that's how- I was fucking partying. That's how I felt when I met you, dude. Real talk, man.

I appreciate that. Yeah. I tell everybody I know, I'm like, bro, you got to talk to Danny Miranda. You got to go on and do a show. You got to listen to a show. It's really, really cool. And I tell you this all the time, and I've told you this before.

It's cool to have a young guy kind of carrying that torch. You know, there's very few young people out there carrying that torch of high standards. You know, Matt's very few young people out there carrying that torch of high standards. You know, Matt Graham does it. You do it. There's a couple other guys online that I really enjoy,

their content and their persona and the example that they're setting. And, you know, aside from all this, I just think you're really setting an amazing example for the other guys around you, bro. Thank you, man. It's a big deal. It's a big fucking deal.

I really appreciate that. I really appreciate it. So let's guys around you, bro. Thank you, man. It's a big deal. It's a big fucking deal. I really appreciate that. I really appreciate it. So let's talk about this, brother. How did it affect you? Like, we talked about this just a minute ago, but like your actual roster of friends, like how did it, what happened during this whole last five years?

I wonder if it's similar to what's happened with me. Yeah, dude. I mean, my friends used to, I was big in partying and drinking and that was fun. But my friends now are some of the coolest, most interesting, insightful, hardworking people I know. And I, I'm so blessed. I live in Austin, Texas. And the only reason I live in Austin, Texas is because the people there are so in alignment with who I am. And my friends are everybody. You know, you know what I was thinking about the other day?

My friends are people who get shit done on their own. And I trust them 100% to get the job done. And they trust me 100% to get the job done myself. Why? Because I've proved it with the podcast, with my meditation, with my working out. I've proved that I can do things on my own and they've proved they could do things on their own too. And together we come and do things together. And that is such a special relationship because we don't need anything from anyone. We're not using each other to validate ourselves. We're not using each other so that we could have this habit

We like doing the habits that we like doing on our own and together we come together. Yeah, and we get better Yeah, it's the best thing in the world, dude. That's that's that's what it's about That's what friends should be right friends shouldn't be people that drag you off course Like it's weird to me how many people I get this all the time from the show, people who they feel like because they grew up with people or because they knew people in high school or in college, they feel this sense of loyalty towards them. Even though those people don't do anything but bring negative into their life, right? Gossip, drama, alcohol, partying, you know, criticism of your goals and dreams. Like, dude, you guys have to understand, you have to cut that loose. Being

successful and becoming a high achiever in any area of life is super, super, super, super, super rare and super fucking hard, okay? That's why it's rare. And if you think you're going to be the first person in the history of the fucking world to carry a bunch of dead weight motherfuckers to the finish line, you're insane. It's not going to happen for you, bro. So like you have to figure out who you are. You have to become that person. And then you will see these other great people start to materialize around you. You know, one of the questions that we get frequently is how do I find more friends that are of high level? How do I network better? Listen, dude, how do I find a better girlfriend or a better boyfriend? Like, listen, listen listen you have to become what it is you desire you have to

become the person that you desire in your life from the other person whether that's a relationship or whether that's a friendship or whether that's you know whatever it is you have to become that and then when you become that it attracts the other ones to you. Okay. You don't go out there as a piece of shit and get to hang out with the world champions, bro. Like that's not how it works. You don't get to be a shitty fucking athlete and go hang out with the new England Patriots. No, you have to be good. And then they're like, Hey, come hang out with us. And that's how this works, dude. So you guys out here who feel like, you know, yeah, man, I want to get better.

And yeah, I want to do better. And yeah, I want to have better friends and I want to network. Okay, cool. Become the kind of person that you want to attract. And those people will surround you automatically. You won't have to try. You won't have to go network. They will just find you, bro.

Because it's so rare that when you find somebody like that, you know it. Like, you know what I'm saying. When you meet someone who's special, who's driven, who's disciplined, who is one of these people who gets done what they say they're going to do, you know it right away. So it's an automatic thing so like dude you guys have to understand it's not find the group and then work to fit in it's become the person and create your own group because they those people will find you that's right and here's the thing people listen to podcasts because often they're in the middle period yeah the middle no man's land no man's land is an important piece to talk about you you have these habits or you have these friends that you grew up with and now you say, okay,

I'm going to do 75 hard and I'm going to be a different person. But guess what? In between you having the group that you want to be around and your current life, that's the middle period. Yep. And the middle period, you have to have faith in the middle period that you're doing what you say you're going to do. You're building yourself into the person that you want to be and just have faith. It will work out. And it will. I'm living proof of it. I have the best friends in the world. And it's only because I waited the middle period and I didn't sacrifice my progress because I could have friends that were not in alignment with the person that I wanted to be. Dude, it's super, super important to talk about this because so many people will limit

their own life and their own success based around other people's standards of what success looks like. And what I mean by that is what Danny's talking about, okay? You grew up with this group of friends from high school and you decide that you're going to go out and you're going to become a successful businessman who has his whole life together and these people you know they're happy where they want to be and that's okay i'm not judging but they're happy working their regular job coming home drinking thursday friday saturday sunday they're happy with that because they're

unaware just just so we understand each other that's why they're happy with that because they're unaware, just so we understand each other. That's why they're happy. Ignorance is bliss. That's the saying. And then you start to move away from that, okay? And this is where that phrase, lonely at the top, comes from. Because you start to make progress. Maybe you get a better career or you get in better shape or all of that, right? And your life starts to come together in a little bit better way. And you get in this area and I call it no man's land where you don't have many friends.

All right. And, and, you know, what most people do at this point in time is they get really uncomfortable because it is uncomfortable when you don't know how to, what it is, when you don't know to expect it, it's very very very uncomfortable you're like fuck i have i've alienated my friends i've i've you know i've lost all my people i i don't have new i'm gonna end up alone i'm gonna die alone holy shit and you freak the fuck out and then you start to go back to their group because you are afraid of continuing to move forward but what you'll find is that when you continue to move forward is like we're talking about here, you will begin to attract these other people who are no longer making fun

of you for your goals. They're no longer talking shit. When you say I'm going to do this big, impossible, crazy thing. They're saying, yeah, dude, you should. How can I help? Right? And this changes your entire life because now you're not surrounded by anchors. Now you've got a few propellers in the boat, right? And then if you keep going and if you level up even again, the same thing will repeat itself and it will keep repeating itself over and over and over the higher that you go. And every time there'll be one or two people that decide to go with you and the rest will stay there. And yes, there'll be one or two people that decide to go with you and the rest will stay there. And yes, you'll maintain amicable, decent relationships with those people, but you're

not going to be with them all the time. And so what you guys have to understand is that when you start to progress, you are going to feel alone at first and it's going to be uncomfortable. But if you keep going, your life gets so much better and so much more fulfilling and quite honestly, so much easier because you have people around you that are now pushing you down the path as opposed to trying to hold you back from the path. And that's an amazing thing if you can withstand the time that you're alone. And most people have a problem with that. And I think it's because they don't expect it. I think it's because they don't know. how do you know something that you don't know how do you know something that you never experienced and um you guys that are out there like right now i know there's a lot of you because like i said we have a lot of high achievers and

ambitious people here you guys you know to you guys that are feeling alone and feeling like man you know i just fuck let us be your fucking friends, bro. We're here almost every day, all right? We're out here. I always say this shit on my Instagram story. We work together, we win together. Follow Danny, bro. He's working every fucking day.

We may not talk every day, but I guarantee you, bro, we live the example every single day. And until you find that new group, let us be your group. All right Well, this is why I set up my daily commitment because I want to help people do 75 hard to her in that middle period Of their life. So I'm I'm creating a program where you do 75 hard. We'll do a call a week Let me be your friend. Let's go and I'll have the forum for you to come to. Yeah, so send me a message It's like that is i i created the my program because of that yeah the 75 heart community is very very supportive dude yeah there's a very there's also an official facebook group on facebook uh but dude you don't even have to do

that all you got to do is go through the 75 hard hashtag you'll find thousands of people doing it at any given time and dm them you know yeah connect with them be the accountability for each other yeah it makes a huge difference that's why i completed it the first time was because i had a friend tej dosa who every day we would text each other at the end of the day and say we completed this day and it's like that was the thing yeah that we did that too the first time it's important the first time i did it well obviously me being the person that made it the the first time i did it i knew i couldn't fucking fail like i was like if i fail i'm fucked and we also had a group with uh with my companies with supplement superstores and first form of a bunch of guys who did it the first time with me and every day we'd all be like telling because

like it was the first time through ever we'd'd all be sharing notes, like how they felt. And I remember like, dude, the first time I got through a full week, meaning Monday through Sunday, and I was on the next Monday and I had it like I've made it. Bro, I thought I was like, dude, fuck. Yeah. Like that was a huge win for me because I was always the person who couldn't go a full week without cheating on their diet or even like three or four days. I was that guy. And I was the guy, you know, who would get three or four days into a diet and be like, all right, man, you deserve a reward. Right.

And then I would reward myself with the shit that I was trying to get away from, you know. And when you think about that psychologically, you know, you can't ever really get away from the bad habits living like that. You have to go an extended period of time without, you know, when we talk about like what it's like to be in this culture of alcohol and food, you know, we have to drink, we have to eat to survive. And these things become so normal to us that it's almost impossible to quit. Like, think of someone who's addicted to food, bro. Like for real, I was a food addict. I had no control over what somebody put in front of my face. None. If somebody put something in

front of my face, I had to eat it. And I know that sounds like really ridiculous, but I had zero control. And for me, that's the equivalent of, you know, I I'm being told, Hey, you have to eat less. You can't eat all this shit, but you have to eat. All right. And I was also an overeater. So, so think about that, how hard that is to quit when you have cheap meals inside the framework of that, because what you're telling somebody for real is like okay you're you're a heroin addict and you got to quit doing this because you're doing too much of it but you got to do a little bit or or else you'll die okay now think how hard that is for a fucking addict so so now uh oh and by the way on saturday because you did good you can

get high as you get all is what you want. How can you ever get over it? You can't. Okay? So we have to understand that mentally we have to go without for an extended period of time to prove to ourselves that we are capable of doing it. And I remember that, dude. That was one of the key lessons for me the first time I went through. When I got that eighth day in and I was like, bro, I made it through a whole week and a weekend, perfect. Bro, that was very powerful for me.

You know what's so fascinating about that is how often before the program, I believed that the conditions were dictating the actions. And so, all right, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, that means drink. All right, the weather is bad out. That means don't work out. Yes.

And now it's, I create the conditions. Yes. No matter what. Yes. And I am capable of doing what I'm supposed to do no matter what. Dude, if you are the kind of person that can execute, see, dude, this is the key. Okay. We're really hitting on the keys to success in life, in anything right here, this point.

Look, dude, most people cannot operate. They cannot execute unless conditions are absolutely perfect. And the problem with that is, is that conditions are very rarely perfect. So if you can learn to execute when things are imperfect or even when things are chaotic, you are at a massive advantage over someone who is like everybody else who can only move when shit is perfect. 70 degrees outside, perfectly sunny, not a rain in the sky. Nothing's going wrong in my life. And I got a great day in today. No, bro, you have to be able to do it when it's perfect. You have to be able to do it when it's minus 30 and there's a foot of snow on the ground. You have to be able to do it when it's perfect. You have to be able to do it when it's minus 30 and there's a foot of snow on the ground. You have to be able to do it when it's 105 and it's hot as shit or it's storming.

It doesn't matter, bro. And if you can understand, and those are metaphorical things, right? The storm and the snow, these represent hardships and inconveniences and difficult times in our lives. Bad days, you know, our girlfriend leaves us, we get divorced, our dog passes away. These are difficult things. We lose somebody. These things happen, man. It's called life.

And we have to be able to operate at high levels regardless of what's going on in life over the cumulative, okay? Now I understand and in no way, shape or form am I saying that you lose your spouse and you're supposed to do your workouts that day. That's not the fuck I'm saying. What I'm saying is that you need to be able to pull yourself out and you need to know how to get back on track quickly. And you have to operate over the cumulative time of your life at a higher standard. Win times are

not ideal because most of the times they won't be. And if you can become that person that can execute, whether it's storming, whether it's sunny, whether it's raining, whether it's snowing, whether it's hot, whether it's cold, bro, you are at a tremendous advantage over everybody else. And people will say, well, I'm not competing with everybody else. Yes, you are. You absolutely are.

You just don't, you are. You absolutely are. You just don't. You bought into this bullshit society. If someone else can only execute three days out of the month that are perfect and you can execute 30, you are doing 10 times the amount of shit as that person. You are going to win infinitely more and infinitely more frequent and just more in general. So, you know's that's the key dude that's the key along with along with along with being able to repeat the day one over and over you know dude people would come up to me and they'd be like how do you how do you do three episodes a week of your podcast when I was doing it yeah it's like bro are you kidding me you can't do three episodes a

week I don't care if you're working You can't do three episodes a week. I don't care if you're working another day. You can do three episodes a week. If you commit yourself to it and you know you hold a standard for yourself, that's it. We're doing three. We're doing three. You could do five. You could do seven. You could do whatever the heck you want.

It's not like people are so shocked at the smallest bit of success. It's like you executing three episodes a week. You know, most podcasts go to 20 episodes. So you do three episodes a week for five weeks, six weeks, seven weeks. By the seventh week, you've done more podcast episodes than 99 of people that's right bro but most people when they start a podcast or whatever dude they buy five episodes if they're not ranked in the top 100 they quit it's like bro do you understand there's millions of podcasts it's the hardest social platform to get traction on by far yeah it's the hardest which is why i don't do any of

the other social i just do that that because I got the momentum there. I'm going to fucking stay there. Dude, let's talk about this. What about your reading? I love reading. Yeah. So let's talk about some of your favorite books, man. Yeah.

So two books have changed my life forever. Map of Consciousness Explained by David Hawkins. The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer. And those are two books that reshaped who I was as a human being and helped me understand that one thing is that love rules all. And when I say love rules all, 75 Hard is the greatest example of giving love to yourself every day so that you can give love to other people. And I'm not just talking about love in this light and fairy way, like the real practicality

of love. What does loving yourself mean? Loving yourself means doing what you say you're going to do and holding a high standard for yourself. And what that book by David Hawkins showed me is that the better that we can get at loving another person, the better we can get at showing love, the more amazing things come into our lives. So that starts with who you are and what you do every single day, which 75 hard show me. The other book, The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer told me that

there's a lot going on here that we are not in control of. 75 Hard shows you, you are in control of a lot of your life. And if you do the tasks every day, you can control how you feel. But then there's also a lot that's happening that is outside my control. I didn't know on August 8th, 2024, I'd be here. That's outside my control. I just show up every day and do what I'm supposed to do, right? I don't control when I meet certain friends or how certain opportunities come in. You don't control that. All we do is show up with how we can show up. So surrender to what you don't have control over is a really important thing that the Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer showed me. So those are two books. I'm currently reading How Champions Think

by Dr. Bob Rotella, which is more in line of the habits, the routines. But what I love about this program in general is that it's made me consistent with reading, right? I've always been somebody who would love reading, but would be inconsistent with it. How do you think that's benefited you? It's made me realize that if I'm in the process of reading, I'm in the process of learning from

somebody who took time out of their life to put together these thoughts that were then edited by someone else over a period of years, that now i'm getting access to that information yeah reading and podcasting are examples of time travel yeah absolutely dude somebody else is in a different place in a different time giving you information in that moment how is that not the coolest thing ever dude it's weird to me that people don't understand how to value that kind of thing, right? Like, dude, when you read a book, okay, when I read a book, if I take, and I'm not a very fast reader, you know, like I don't mow through books. It takes me time to read and comprehend. So I active read, meaning I read things and I take notes and I read parts of

it and then I take notes. Dude, I'm reading that entire book for one fucking concept. One thing. I don't know what it is when I opened the book, but it's one thing. And whatever that one thing is, I know is going to benefit my life immensely and probably make me a whole bunch of money, a whole bunch. Okay. And it's weird to me how people don't value information properly. Like, right. Like if you're, if you, let's say, bought an audio course from someone and it costs $200 and it's fucking seven days long or whatever, right. I'm making this shit up. And you get one fucking concept out of that and it costs you 200 bucks. And that concept over the course of your life, I mean, dude, what's that worth? You see what I'm saying? And I think whenever you start to

value reading and value information properly by understanding that like, dude, I'm not trying to, I'm not a book connoisseur where I'm trying to rate the book. Oh, the whole book was, it was an A plus or it was a C. I didn't like the way that his grammar was. No, we're looking for that one or two things. You know what I'm saying? That are going to benefit us. And, and dude, when we can take someone's life and put it into a book, like bro, there's this book about Sam Walton it was the first book I ever read it's called made in the USA or made in America Sam Walton first book I ever read in my life which is kind of ironic because like here I'm not now I'm here I never intended to be here when I was there but and but you read

this book and it's this man the one of the greatest entrepreneurs ever takes his whole fucking philosophy and puts it in a fucking 250 page book this guy made walmart bro he revolutionized retail he made he his children are the richest people in the fucking world right like if they didn't have it split up six seven different ways it's the biggest empire ever created and um you know to to be able to read that in a couple hours it's like you think what's that worth so you think you're not gonna learn something yeah from the guy who created the thing that you see everywhere yeah it's like anybody yeah and dude you see everywhere. Yeah. It's like anybody.

Yeah. And dude, you can read a book about anybody's shit. Like, bro, you go read shoe dog. You can read like whatever it is you're trying to learn about, man. It's just a highly,

highly undervalued, underutilized skillset. And I see a lot of people on the internet. Look, I don't read. Well, and I automatically think I'm like, well,

you're a dumb motherfucker then. Yeah. Cause like, dude, you're turning your back to like complete life lessons of some of the smartest people that have ever lived. Yeah. And, and what I love about the program too, the 10 pages, often I'm reading 20, 30, 40, 50. And it's the fact that I can know, all right, 10 is the baseline. That's the minimum that we accept for ourselves. When I'm in the process of, ah, finish this chapter, I'll get to the next one. And so there's something really magical about 10 pages is small enough where it seems so easy to get done that I end up wanting to read more. Yeah, absolutely. Well, brother, listen, man,

we're going to close the show, but I'd like to give you a few minutes to speak to the people about why they should do 75 hard. I know you talk about it a lot, but just let it rip, man, and let people know what you think. Yeah, man. There's no program that I've come across that has changed more lives and more specifically changed my life than 75 hard. And the reason for that is build my discipline, built my mental toughness and given me the tool that I need to go back to anytime I want to become all I can be. And I sit here before you today feeling the best I've ever felt in my entire life, feeling most energetic, most alive, most like myself. And the reason for that is because I've done 75 hard

over and over and over and over again and failed and gone back to ways that I don't want to be. But that's such a beautiful thing to know that it's always there. I'm always 30 days away from the person I want to be. That's right. And it's because 75 hard. And so I feel indebted to the program. I will be talking about this program for the rest of my life. I will be doing this program for the rest of my life. I will help people through this

program because I know who I've become as a result. Somebody who is loving, who is caring, who is disciplined, who is focused, who is able to do what he says he's going to do, who's able to help other people in the process, who's able to use his gifts. And I just want everyone to experience what it feels like to live in your purpose 100% of the time, day by day by day, action by action, every moment getting a little bit better, a little bit better, getting a little bit worse, oh, getting a lot bit better, and over and over and over again. And I want everyone to experience that. So I want everyone to do 75 hard because it really has changed my life. Well, brother, listen, dude, it's a huge honor to have you on the show.

Like I said, I met Danny from doing his podcast, which you know, I do very, very, very few podcasts.
