what is up guys you're listening to the mfceo project i'm andy i'm your host and i am the
motherfucking ceo i'm here with my co-host vaughn the pastor of disaster vaughn the impaler
vaughn diesel what else we got i don't know but you know that over the last
your favorite one is von diesel i think it is or von halen von halen john cloud von dom i know yeah
you're i think your favorite one is von diesel because you secretly wish you were
as badass as von diesel i do don't you think is is you're more badass than von diesel a little bit
you got the power of god yeah that's true that's true. That's true. But don't you think Vin Diesel,
not Von Diesel, but Vin Diesel,
isn't he kind of a poor man's rock?
Man, I don't know.
I think he's definitely not on a rock level.
Right.
I mean...
But he's kind of disappeared, hasn't he?
I mean, when was the last time he did a movie?
I don't know.
I think he only does the Fast and Furious movies.
I think he does Disney movies now or something.
Seriously.
He's done well, though. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to hate Fast and Furious movies. I think he does Disney movies now or something. Seriously. He's done well, though.
I'm not going to hate on the dude's game.
So in the last week, I've had two different people come up to me.
Well, one was a waitress.
The other one was a guy at the chiropractor said, hey, are you Vaughn the Impaler?
So the only way that they know who I am has to be the fact that they're seeing me on Snapchat.
Your Snapchat.
Oh, you think so?
Not mine, yeah.
No, because I don't have-
You're not doing any secret impaling that we don't know about, are you?
No, no, no, no.
No behind the seat, no ninja impaling?
No ninja impaling, no stealth impaling.
That would go against your core values as a human.
Yeah, it would.
It would, very much so.
How's the new baby?
She's actually kind of the dream baby.
She doesn't fuss very much. Dude, you just cursed yourself. she's actually kind of the dream baby she doesn't fuss
very much dude you just cursed yourself it's like i know i know yeah i know but i think still hung
over from coming out the vagina it's still you know there's probably some truth to that you're
still he she's still waiting for sunglasses like yeah you know she's like getting used to the sun
and the air and you're like oh she's calm calm. Just wait. You just fucked yourself, dude.
I did.
My older daughter is handling it better than we thought she would.
She's not trying to like suffocate her with a pillow or anything?
As far as we know.
But she's pretty intelligent.
So maybe she's got this really well worked out plan.
Yeah.
So what are we talking about today?
Well, so two weeks ago, obviously, lewis on the podcast lewis house
and uh for those of you who don't know we all went out to lunch had a steak which you have i forget
what you had but i think i had a steak yeah i think we all got a salad yeah salad yeah that's
right because you're doing your transformation so i i did that so anyway uh lewis asked andy
about his plans for a book,
and Andy's response was basically,
I got plans for 12 books,
it's just so much information that we wanna cover.
And then Lewis actually said,
well, if you could share anything,
what's the most important thing
you wanna share with people?
And I remember just really taking note
that Andy took a deep breath,
kinda looked out the window, and said,
I just want people to know that they have
far, far more potential than they even know you know and uh and so i got thinking about
that so i went over your stuff and started distilling these principles and really i came
up with some different things that you believe about human beings and so i wanted to get your
thoughts on that yeah that's cool yeah riff, riff and breathe fire and call down thunder.
Yeah, we can do it.
So at the risk.
So basically what this means, and Tyler can attest to this,
this means Vaughn didn't do his homework and got no agenda for the show.
No, look at this.
Look at all these pages.
Look at all these pages.
Come on.
That's from some other podcast.
No, these are my notes.
Tyler, what do you think?
I think that you told Vaughn a long time ago that you love an outline with bullet points.
He says he's got one.
I don't believe him.
They're right here.
They're right here.
I think that's from some other bullshit that he pulled out.
No, this is written in my blood.
Yeah.
No, the potential and power of every human being.
Ooh, ooh.
We're getting fancy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I will say that I suppose there's a danger of a unicorn trotting in any moment.
We're going to be so positive.
Yeah, man.
But you do like to say you are not special.
You say that a lot.
Me, personally, I'm not.
No, you like to tell people you are not special.
No, but I also believe i'm not
special right right yeah of course yeah yeah well and and i i think the astral coals met you know
mess up what you mean by that but what your point is is that the what i've inferred over the over
the last year is that you aren't special just for existing you have to do something significant with
your life but you also do believe on the other hand that each person is special in the
sense that they have an incredible potential and so i guess yeah but if every person has
incredible potential it's not special well right you're not unique in that regard right so like
dude i get people come up to me all the time and they're like oh my god andy and like you know
they get a little i don't know wound up about. Cause they're fans of the show or whatever.
And they're like,
Oh dude,
you know,
it's incredible.
You're doing this and this and this and this.
And I'm,
all I'm thinking when they're saying is like,
dude,
you could do the same fucking thing.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
Like there is literally nothing about me that is special other than I've
practiced what I preach for 20 fucking years.
Right. You know what I mean? Right. There's nothing about what I do. This special. 20 fucking years. Right.
You know what I mean?
Right.
There's nothing about what I do that's special.
Even people are like, oh, but your delivery is so cool.
Dude, when I first started, it was fucking terrible.
It's like anything.
You know, when I first started speaking, I was bad.
When I first started business, I was bad.
You know?
Right.
I mean, everything.
Right.
I just had an ability to not quit at things
right because I'm bad at them and I think that's where you know people get hung up in that um
cycle of or a habit that is quitting on anything that becomes hard or anything they're bad at and you know they believe then they start
to believe that they lack whatever it is right that you know is required to be successful
when in reality all it is is them giving up too soon and not understanding you know the kind of
persistence and grit that it takes to go through the quote unquote death valley period of learning something you
know what i mean right and and it's perpetuated by a lot of these motherfuckers out there who try
to tell everybody i've you know speaking as if i'm them i've got this gift that nobody has i'm i
truly believe i'm the greatest blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah dude what the
fuck ever man right there you know what i mean
right dude what one man can do another man can do period and that's it and and people will argue
with me about that they'll say no no no you don't understand you've got something special they'll be
trying to pay me a compliment and i appreciate that i really do but it's not the truth it's just
not and it would i could sit here and pretend like oh yeah i've got
all these fucking special things that nobody has but i fucking don't do i put my pants on one leg
at a fucking time dude half the days i get up in the morning i don't want to go to fucking work
you know i i it's all the same yeah you have bad days dude terrible days yeah you came in here
pretty pissed i was like no i'm not pissed i just don't tolerate mediocrity in that right tyler well you do tolerate it i mean tyler's still you know got
a job with you guys oh look at that oh look at that i could see the fire brewing right now on
tyler he's gonna fucking unleash okay right when you least expect it i know he is okay so but in
light of what you're saying be specific though when you least expect it. I know he is. Okay. So, but in light of what you're saying, be specific though.
When you say like everybody can be successful, what do you believe that each human being
possesses in and of themselves that enables them to be successful and to be significant?
Because I don't believe there's anything magical about success.
It's about following a plan just as if you were to whip out a roadmap and follow a route
from St. Louis where we are to
los angeles and and you're going to walk there all right um if you walk to uh kansas city and
then fucking say oh man i'm never going to get there and turn around and go back to st louis
and decide to start over and you end up doing that your whole life, you're never going to get where you want to go.
And it's that simple.
And I success.
I've said this a number of times recently.
It's an equation.
It's one plus one equals two.
It's a plus B equals C.
It's cause effect.
It's not magic.
And so many people want to sell you on the magic because they have a product to sell you
and it's like you know what's behind the curtain oh pay me a hundred bucks and i'll show you
there's nothing there you know what i mean and so my personal you know belief and i believe i'm right
is that anybody has the potential but the problem that, you know, most people don't grow
up in a situation where they're told they could be great.
Most people grow up in a situation where they're expected to be mediocre their entire life.
They're expected to go with the norm.
They're expected to go with the flow.
They're expected to do what their parents did and that's all they see.
So that's all they see for themselves. And because that is all they see
for themselves, they never consider that there is potential beyond those limitations, right?
So a lot of it has to do with the way we were raised and I happen to be raised. And if you
want to say I possess something special, I will say this. I was raised by parents who did not put me in that box. They told me and believed in me and truly pushed me to be better than they ever were
at what they did. And, um, you know, I'm thankful for that. Most people don't have that. Most people
have parents that have too big of an ego to let their kids be better than them.
You know what I mean? And, um, and they're too insecure to let their kids be better,
which is the opposite of what it should be. Right. And I have parents right now are listening
to my bullshit. You don't know what I do for my kid. Well, you know what? Do you tell your
kid that he could be fucking anything? Or do you tell your kid that, you know, when
you grow up, you got to go to college and you got to get a fucking regular job and you got to do this and this and this because you're unintentionally instilling limits, whether you realize it or not, by what you say.
And, you know.
Do you think that most parents fall into actually 100% on one side or the other?
Either they're 100%
I think they intentionally goodheartedly want the best for their kids but i think they
unintentionally instill the limits by speaking what is their reality not what is reality right
you know what i'm saying yeah but what i'm saying they ultimately want to play it safe
well no well yeah but that's yes but what i'm trying to say here is this
i love i i'm i'm a parent i love kids. I want my kids to be present in the
United States. Right. And we have a conversation with little Johnny and little Johnny says,
dad, I want to be president. And you say, oh, that's great. You could be anything you
want. But then for the next five years you come home and you tell him, Hey, my boss is
a dick. You know, one day you're going to have a boss and you know, when you have that
boss, you know, you have that boss you know
you're gonna know what this is like and how hard this fucking is and blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah right right right so you're i mean they're talking on both sides of their mouth exactly and
they don't realize it gotcha and they don't realize it yeah i well i guess what i was thinking is is
i you you hear the parents all the time telling their kids that they could be anything they want
to be but they don't tell them the whole truth that you got to work you got to work at it so that's what i thought you were saying
i mean that's the whole other thing is like the unrealistic expectations of success when it comes
to a time frame i mean it's fucking you know it's absurd what people consider a long time
you know like i dude people are like oh i've been doing this for two years
i take fucking shits longer than two
years yeah you know what i'm saying yeah like dude two years is nothing you know people have a
totally misconstrued uh vision and perception of how long it takes and what it takes. And because of that, you know, when it's hard or it takes longer than they want it to take
or things don't go their way, they automatically fall back on the excuse of, you know, it wasn't
meant for them or the universe is against them or, you know, they start to believe in
the lottery principle of success, like the success fairy that comes
down and picks certain people, right? Instead of just saying, hey, I haven't been doing this
long enough or I haven't been working hard enough or I haven't been doing what it takes,
it's easier to put the blame off somewhere else, except that in your mind that success is something
that is luck-based or chance-based or happenstance instead of just taking responsibility and say,
hey, I didn't do what the fuck it takes, right?
So I think the mentality, you know,
when we get back in line with the original subject
you want to talk about of human potential
and what they can achieve
is usually completely screwed up by, you know,
parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, completely screwed up by you know parents friends neighbors teachers uh people who have
well-meaning hearts you know because they want to tell somebody uh you know the realistic side
of things you know what i mean the realistic side of thing is that you could fucking do anything you
want if you're willing to pay the price right you know what i mean right but the the you're willing to pay the price. Right. You know what I mean? Right. But you're not going to get everything you want
if you're not willing to pay the price.
I made a post about this the other day
and somebody wrote like,
dude, doesn't that seem pretty basic?
I'm like, yeah, it's fucking basic.
That's the point.
That's the point that I don't understand.
That's why I don't understand
why the fuck people even listen to this podcast.
You know, I don't understand
why people pay attention to my Instagram because dude nothing i say is profound it's just it's the
way you say it though it's just get a fucking roadmap yeah and fucking follow it yeah i let
me drive home the point you're making by by making an observation about the way that your dad raised
you um there's an excellent book on this by the
way that i want to plug on becoming self-aware about why you have the limits you have it's
called the third circle theory okay is that pj yeah pj pj uh uh i can't pronounce his last name
and knowing what he can so we'll put it up on the website but anyhow pj is a fucking brilliant dude
and it's an awesome book
i'm becoming self-aware i've recommended it before it's kind of a tough read because he's so fucking
smart that you've got to really like be engaged in the book to like pick it up you know i'm saying
yeah like one of those books that is written by somebody who's so intelligent yeah that it's hard
to follow yeah you gotta like really intentionally god the book's good intelligent that it's hard to follow. Yeah, you got to really intentionally.
God, the book's good, man.
Yeah, yeah.
It's great.
Well, one of the things that, I mean, obviously you've told the famous kill, kill, kill story.
Yeah.
And you've also told the story of how your dad rewarded you and Sal
for aggressiveness.
And I think what's really interesting to me about that is that your dad
could have had you guys chant,
win, win, win.
Obviously, he wanted you guys to win,
but the chant was kill, kill, kill.
The chant was focused on what you did
and if you did those things, the results would follow.
That's right, it's a process.
Right, and the aggressiveness was what you did.
So I see very early on,
you basically learning this principle of human
potential is it's not even so much who you are. It's the effort that you put into whatever it is
you're striving toward. Well, I think most people, and we're going to get into the nuts and bolts of
why people can't succeed and why people do succeed. people who succeed fall in love with the process and
execute on the process every single day like um i mean it's not about like you know like these kids
that i see oh i want to be a billionaire that's great you know oh i want to be a millionaire
that's great but that's not what's going to get you there that want or that hope or that desire
to be there i don't care how fucking hard you wish and hope and pray and desire to be that.
If you can't master the day in and day out process that it's going to take to,
like what I said, one foot down in front of the other.
Okay.
So one foot down represent one day.
Right.
And then the next foot down would represent the next day.
And you have to do that for 10,000 fucking days.
You know what I mean?
So if you're not willing to master those steps each day, you're not going to get there.
And so I think people focus on the macro so much, the 10,000 foot view of what they want and they see it as such a monumental task that they either,
A, don't start, B, underestimate the amount of time it's going to get there because people
have this idea that it's going to be this, you know, I take 10 steps and all of a sudden the
rocket ship comes by and things start to pick up up like i got this question from a fellow supplement company owner um recently and he's he just started out last year a finished
good brand and um young kid man i mean real young uh i don't know they're probably 20 probably i
don't know 22 23 years old and and he just started a year not even a year ago he comes up to me he's like
andy i love what you do and i love first form and i respect that you know that's great i really
appreciate it how long do i have to do this before i make money and i just looked at him and i'm i
i'm like you know my my response was like well dude the good news is is that you have
a lot of people to look at and you have social media and you have all these things i didn't have
um and i would just keep focused on because i didn't even want to say it because it was like
right i didn't want to fucking crush the dude you know what i mean but it's gonna take a long
fucking time right if you're focused on that when am i going to make the money you're certainly not
focused on the day-to-day process that you need to be.
You know what I mean?
It's like being in a football game, right?
And you're in a heated football game and it's third, fourth quarter, right?
And all of a sudden, instead of like executing the plays running the place you know running them
to perfection you decide to stand in the middle of the football field and look up at the scoreboard
just watch it yeah what's gonna happen yeah you're gonna get your fucking ass beat you know
what i mean that's a great analogy yeah and that's what people do instead of executing on the blocks
and the tackles and the routes to run and the balls to be thrown and handed off properly and all the shit that is
required to run a perfect play aka a perfect day they focus on the big picture and think about the
big picture instead of just just focus on today it's day by day you know what i mean and people
get people it's just not a romantic or fun thing to think about like hey i've got to
be perfect for 10 000 days in a row uh you know what book is that it's malcolm
one of malcolm gladwell's books yeah you mean uh outliers where he talks about 10 000 days or 10
000 hours to become an expert yeah yeah it's outliers yeah i can't i've read all his books
can't remember which one it was but dude uh that's the one being a fucking becoming an expert brilliant yeah yeah i mean brilliant dude he's
another guy it's like you better pay attention when you read his shit because he's so smart
but um uh but anyway you know the point is is that's not a romantic or fun thing to think about
hey man i've got to fucking focus in on today i've got to be perfect today but here's what you
don't understand and what people miss is that by focusing on today it's just like a workout program or a uh learning a skill like
playing a guitar or uh anything right it's going to be really fucking hard the first day right the
first day you're going to have to go on a diet all right on a diet dude when i first started
dieting four months ago every day
was a fucking battle like i'm thinking about eating fucking taco bell and fucking chinese
food every day and you know what i'm saying because that's what i was doing before and now
like dude i'm cruising through every single day it's not even i don't have to put any effort in
right it's like fucking automatically what i do And here's the same thing with success that people miss out on is that when you focus in on the, you know, they have the first, let's say, first 90 days of focusing on being perfect every day.
It's hard.
It's fucking hard.
And I'm talking about being perfect.
I'm talking about executing on every single opportunity that you possibly can as good as you possibly can for 90 days.
All right.
That's hard as fuck for people to grasp.
And that sounds like such a long time.
Right.
But the thing is, is that what you're doing and the value in doing what I'm saying and making a conscious effort.
You go back to the powerless podcast.
Which one is that on?
The powerless podcast. Yeah. that on the powerless podcast yeah
is that kill it every day oh oh powerless sorry yeah yeah kill it every day yeah so go back and
listen to kill every day and i give the exact plan on how to do this but if you do that for 90 days
by at the end of 90 days you've created a habit of fucking winning every day you know what i mean
now you've created a habit of paying attention to the details a habit of being perfect a habit of you know whatever your job is you know greeting
customers the right way or going over and above or taking pride in this and that and all the shit
you need to do to build something you've created habits that do that automatically and, you know, most people and the reason they believe that success is, you know, this fucking magical thing instead of like a A plus B equals C concept math, so to speak, because they're not willing to put that 90 days or that, that, that one year of perfection in,
into their books.
You know what I mean?
And so they fall back on,
um,
the idea of it being a fucking lottery.
And,
you know,
it's sad because I see people that have just tremendous potential and they're
like,
Andy,
I've been doing this for three years and nothing seems to go my way.
I'm like,
well,
keep fucking doing it. And you know what's going to happen you're going to learn
how to make things go your way and eventually things are going to go your way but because
you have all these fuck fuck faces out there selling programs for 200 or whatever the fuck
it is you know telling kids that it's supposed to be a 12 week thing
or a 12 month thing and all this shit, dude, people end up, you know, hating themselves.
They end up thinking they don't have what it takes and that they're, you know, I'm not a person
that was meant to be successful. So they do something they hate the rest of their fucking lives.
Right,
right.
So let me add a couple more layers to this conversation by making two
observations.
One is my Epic bar.
Yeah,
you do that.
So one is that you obviously do,
you just mentioned them,
but you obviously do take on these guys that are constantly saying like,
here's my plan for,
for making a million dollars in a year.
And I,
I fuck those guys.
Exactly.
But so what I've come up with is this term I call
the fallacy of the exception.
And the reality is, as you know as well as I do,
there are exceptions to a rule.
There is the guy that had overnight success
or financial success.
Yes, yes.
But what those-
That's all society shows.
Right.
And what those guys are taking advantage of
is they're taking advantage of the fact
that yes, there is the occasional exception, but it's not the rule.
It's not generally how success happens, and they're taking advantage of people doing that.
Because they don't show it, people – what you just said is the truth.
It's not generally how success happens, but people are never shown how success really happens unless they're like
raised in a household of it right you know what i mean right and so what they see when most people
see is their parents get up go to work work for fucking 40 years the same shit retire and drink
fucking bud light on the front porch that's what most people see and unless you unless you see it firsthand with an uncle or a
parent or something like that why would you ever think differently because they don't ever show
that shit nobody shows that shit you know dude as far as i know as far as i know and i could be
wrong and i hope i'm wrong but i'm the only motherfucker out there saying hey it's gonna
take you fucking 10 years.
Right.
Buckle in for the long haul, brother.
This is going to be a fucking wild ride.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know anybody else
who's really being that forthcoming
with what it's going to take.
Yeah.
Maybe Gary.
Gary does the same thing.
Gary Vee.
Yeah.
You know,
but outside of that,
I don't hear it.
You know what's funny?
Even in movies, even in movies that are telling the story of somebody who really overcomes a lot,
isn't it almost always true that the hard work they do is usually put into a montage with really inspiring music behind it?
Dude, look.
You know what I'm saying?
Here's the thing, though.
Like, all right.
You know how like...
Like Rudy.
You know how like when you go on a big long road trip yeah all right let's say you got to go on a road trip
for like 20 fucking hours yeah you're dreading it right right i'm eating an epic bar right now
and it's fucking so good these dudes that make these epic bars these bison bars yeah they're
good fuck they're good yeah Fuck, they're good.
Yeah, they're very good.
They're not paying me to say that.
No, I know.
I saw you eat one one time.
Actually, I think I ate one, and then I went and bought some more.
And they have some very unique flavors.
I've been eating them the whole time on my diet, man.
They got a little bit of sugar in them, but I'm burning it up.
Yeah.
But anyhow.
Epic, you guys just sent me that check yeah by the way exactly but um anyhow so you're dreading this long road trip right 20 fucking hours it's gonna suck right you go you do drive the 20 hours
you go on your little vacation you drive the 20 hours home five years later do you remember the 20 hours
you see what i'm saying no yeah you remember the vacation right sure but you don't remember
the 20 hours right success is the same thing it sounds horrible it sounds it sounds it sounds
bad i gotta work for 10 fucking years every day as hard as i fucking can to get somewhere and i'm
not talking about just making i'm not talking about just making
i'm not talking about making millions i'm talking about if you want to make six figures you know
are there people that go out and make six figures in two or three years yeah but they're usually
really fucking good at what they do and they've been putting in long long investments of time
before they ever even took that spot right you know what I mean? So, I'm not talking about just making millions.
I'm talking about being financially successful,
whatever you consider that to be.
But the point is that the dedication, time, and work
that you have to put in,
it's not something that you remember in the long, in a long haul. You know
what I mean? Like, or I don't know how, I don't know if I'm saying that right.
No, you are. Um, so proof positive that I, you know, actually did prepare notes for this and,
and that I know you really well is that you, you started immediately talking about point number
two on my, on my list was about your belief in the power of of action and you've already talked about this a lot about how what's important
it's not you know it's an equation it's not magic formula it's execution it's
application of certain principles and processes but what I what I want to have
you flesh out a little bit because I think this is something you get all the
time you you get this question all the time that says Andy what if I do all the
stuff and it doesn't work?
And one of the things that I really feel like comes through a lot of the stuff that I've read and heard from you is that's not possible.
It's not possible.
Like action is never in vain.
Unless you're – look, unless you're mentally retarded, and I mean that in the literal sense, like you're unable to learn.
You know what I mean?
Right.
I'm not saying I'm not.
I don't like using the word retarded.
Like you mean in the clinical sense.
Right.
I just don't like you.
I used to use all the time.
And I don't know.
I try not to use it because I just it's you know what I mean?
I just don't like it.
I don't like what it represents anymore. But the point is that unless you're a mentally handicapped,
mentally retarded person that can't fucking learn,
what you just said is impossible.
Right.
The only way for that to happen is for you to fucking quit
and to quit trying.
Like, dude, if someone hands you a shovel and says,
hey, I need you to dig a ditch from here to fucking California.
And when you're done, I'm going to give you 10 million fucking dollars.
How many people would do it?
Everybody would try.
No, everybody would try.
How many people would do it?
Oh, very few.
Very few would actually finish.
I will bet you less than 1% of 1%.
Yeah.
You see what I'm saying?
Because they don't want it.
So it doesn't matter how much guarantee you put on it.
Right.
People just won't fucking do it.
Right.
So I just had this thought come to mind before.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
Fuck.
This one thought.
It's funny how it's socially acceptable for you to go to school for four or six years
to have a job
that will be you know a career that will be mediocre uh and it's not even promised well it's
not not only is it mediocre they tell you it's going to be great until you get out in real life
and then you're like fuck this sucks even if they do know okay like going into like just as a major
of business you know you're going to come out make it maybe 40 grand like you're okay with that but
you're not okay with putting in two three four six years into your own you know business well
it's not even your own business it's it's it's crafting your skills we're our show is about
becoming the ceo of you right and it's not i agree with what you're saying a hundred percent, but you got to be careful how
you word that because it's not just like, if you went to school and came out and got a degree
right now and you're like, fuck, I took the wrong path. No, you didn't because I guarantee you in
your skillset, if you can pay close enough attention, you could find a company that would
allow you to move up in the world. And if you put in the time to develop your skillset,
you could make five,
10,
20 times more money than you're making right now within a company.
You don't have to own your own company.
You know what I mean?
Right.
So we got to be careful how we say that because I want everybody that's
listening to understand that entrepreneurship is a skill that everybody
could benefit from,
not just people who actually own a business.
I was more talking about the people who come up to you and be like,
dude, I'm not making any money, and it's two years.
It's like, fuck, dude.
Well, first of all, let's be fucking real, all right?
Society lies to people about how much is quote-unquote good money, all right?
Go up to find me somebody who's making
60, $70,000 and ask them if they feel fucking rich. You know, you know, they, they tell you
that 60, 70, a hundred thousand dollars is tremendous money. And you know, people listening
right now might say, Oh my God, that's tremendous money. But dude, if you're making 50 grand and you go to a hundred, it's not going to change your life that much. You know
what I mean? Right. It's just not. And your, your, your goals for yourself should be way the
fuck higher than that. You know, I mean you could, I would say you go up to anybody that I know that's
making 250 grand a year. And I know a lot of motherfuckers that do, and none of them are
going to raise their hand and say, Oh, I feel like i'm wealthy or i'm rich you know what i mean right
it's just you know you've got to consider what you know don't let society dictate what you think
is a lot of money or an income for you because if you do that you're going to end up getting scraps
it's just a fact of life and i know i'm going to get some fucking messages here about that but i
don't really give a shit as you were talking i was thinking about a a great quote uh by miles davis who i
think is a jazz trumpeter and he says if you hit a wrong note it's the next note that you play that
determines if that one was good or bad and the reason i thought of that is because people that
say to you oh andy i screwed up i I went to college or I took the wrong path.
Yeah, and what are you going to do now?
Right, what are you going to do now?
You're going to stay on the fucking bad path?
Right, right.
Or I think success
and realizing your potential
is not saying,
oh, I should have done this.
I should have done this.
I think success
and realizing your potential
is saying, okay, I did this.
So how can I take the raw material of my life
and make it as this?
I did this. What did I learn? And how can I take the raw material of my life i did this i did this what did i learn
and how can i use that right to move forward right that's what successful people do yeah exactly
exactly um excuse me come on von awkward pause this is fucking radio man oh yeah i got a fucking
bar of meat in my mouth yeah i know
and i i was choking tyler's tyler salivating because he wants some meat in his mouth did i
hear tube steak all right so so let me back up for a second because of course we have to address
the asterisk holes so you were talking about how you know everybody can do anything and of course
the asterisk hole is going to say oh wait so, so you're saying I could play in the NBA if I wanted to and I could be as good as LeBron?
For people who do that, fuck you, first of all.
Okay.
Second of all, for people that do that, they're too fucking stupid to get the point of context.
Right.
If you can't understand context, then there's no hope for you.
Right. But I want to use those people as an example or as a reason for you to talk a little bit about some of the other things that do figure into human potential.
You know what I love about my followers too?
What's that?
On Facebook and Instagram.
What's that?
Is that now when people smart off like that, everybody just blasts them.
And calls them astericals?
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
They blast them.
It's fucking hilarious.
Nice.
That's awesome i had a dude yesterday come on and be like yeah uh you know your post you just called 18 000 people that
follow you lazy blah blah blah and what i was saying was is like you know if you're this then
right you know what i mean yeah and i'm like dude if you can't understand context i can't help you
brother right i'm sorry right and dude like 30 people just fucking blasting my memes i'm like dude, if you can't understand context, I can't help you, brother. Right. Sorry. Right.
And dude, like 30 people just fucking blasting me memes.
I'm like, yeah, motherfuckers.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
So where though, I mean, obviously we believe that the process is what's important, execution,
action, that sort of thing.
But how would you address the issue of the different variables that figure into human potential like we're all good at something we all have a certain talent we all have unique experiences i mean and
i would even say we we all have certain adversities that prepare us to do something really amazing in
life so i mean what what is your what is your general take on how all of those things figure
into you becoming the person of the fullest potential you could possibly become.
I think that's where the passion argument comes into it.
The passion things, it gets a little fluffy.
You know what I'm saying?
Like all the little fluff masters out there try to talk about passion
and do what you're passionate about.
Well, if you're passionate about playing fucking video games,
you're probably going to end up being broke.
All right? passionate about well if you're passionate about playing fucking video games you're probably gonna end up being broke all right um the the where passion becomes valuable is you have a natural affinity for something i've used this example before um butterflies all right how do you
monetize butterflies all right i love butterflies they're so beautiful i'm the biggest butterfly
nerd in the face of the earth not me for personally i'm just saying let's say that i was um how do i how do i
turn that into a business andy because people try to stump me and shit right well here's what you
could do you start a blog about butterflies all right you you you create a situation where you're
putting out so much content and so much information so much education about butterflies
that people can't help but start to recognize you as the butterfly expert right and then you attract
a tribe of other butterfly people all right and all of a sudden you're the leader of the butterflies
you know you're the motherfucking butterfly boss right and you're fucking you you decided i'm gonna monetize i'm gonna start selling t-shirts
and it says butterfly boss motherfuckers on the shirt yeah right and then all of a sudden dude
you take butterflies and you make a brand out of it and then you got a little butterfly logo
then you got sweatpants with butterflies on it right and then all of a sudden dude you're you're
fucking you're the butterfly mogul
and you're in Forbes.
All right.
That's the point.
Right.
Because dude, passion will drive you to learn about a subject when you're not getting paid.
Passion will drive you to stick with something for a long enough time to succeed when you're
not getting paid.
All right.
It does a lot of things for the human spirit and it's a huge driver in success.
But most people misinterpret what people say when they say, oh, follow your passion.
You know, I've heard other success people say, oh, fuck your passion.
Do what makes money.
Well, that's a that's a nice thought.
I wish I could just fucking, you know, learn about anything that I wasn't interested in
that makes the most money.
Most people don't have that fucking ability.
Most people do have the ability to become an expert in some kind of field.
And they probably are already at some point.
You know what I mean?
Like maybe you're interested in 1960s Chevrolet small blocks.
And you decide to become the blogger on all these different small blocks and you decide to become, you know, the blogger on all these different
small blocks and accessories. And I mean, dude, I could go on and on and on about this shit,
but it's micro shit that you're expert in. And, um, you know, people misinterpret the,
you know, follow your passion because it sounds too fluffy. Right. You know what I mean? Right.
Follow your, well, my passion is helping people.
Well, that's good.
Because the only way you can make money
is by helping solve people's problems.
That's the only way.
All right.
So how are you passionate about helping people?
Well, I don't know.
Well, that ain't good enough.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I know you said this, what,
either last week or the week before that we it's overkill the the emphasis on self-awareness but it is true it is that in order
in order to know what passion what you're passionate about you do have to take some time
what would you do if you would what would you do right now if you if there was no such thing as
money what would you do with your day you see what i'm saying that's a really good that's a great question yeah it's a good place
to start it's a good place to start yeah now here's another good place to start because this
is the other question that comes along with that i don't know what to do all right the other question
is i don't know what product to make all right well if you know that you want to make a product
and you're interested in making a product look around for the fucking problems right don't look for the potential to make money
look for the things that annoy you that you wish were different right uh that's a big
chasm that people have to cross in order to go from the mindset of like,
I'm dreaming and hoping about making money to I'm actually a executioner
slash practitioner of entrepreneurship, right?
You have to learn to look for the fucking things
that need to be solved.
You have to learn to identify the problems.
You have to learn, you know, within your passion,
what are the problems?
Where could i produce a
product that solves something you know well sweatpants with butterflies on it doesn't solve
a problem sure it does first of all it solves a number of problems one it makes people feel cool
because they like butterflies that's a fucking problem if you don't feel fucking cool that's not
that's no good everybody likes to feel cool Second of all, keep your legs warm.
You see what I'm saying? Like, dude, there's, there's plenty of problems there. It doesn't have to be, you know, people focus so hard on trying to come up with these fucking overly
complicated business plan and schemes and, and solutions to these fucking problems that barely
even exist that would take a trillion fucking dollars to um you know
create a a solution for right i want to solve the the world's water problem you know what that is a
fucking great place for somebody like bill gates to fucking put his influence in right but john
doe you listening you have no fucking chance of solving that problem
right go invent a snuggie instead all right the snuggie right the dumbest fucking thing on the
face of the earth the the the somebody went out there and put a robe on fucking backwards and
said oh this is fucking awesome right and it made a fucking billion dollars you know what i mean
dude is it as stupid as sea monkeys i don't know sea monkeys are pretty stupid dude i'm just saying Right? And it made a fucking billion dollars. You know what I mean? Dude.
Is it as stupid as sea monkeys?
I don't know.
Sea monkeys are pretty stupid.
Dude, I'm just saying.
Yeah, yeah.
It solves a problem.
Yeah.
I want a blanket with fucking arm holes.
You know what I mean?
Like, it doesn't have to be, you know, splitting the fucking atom.
Right.
It doesn't have to be, you know, these complicated things.
Look for the thing that fucking annoys you and then try to solve it and then if you solve it guess what you got
something you know what i mean yeah it's a good place to start so as far as you know part of
maximizing human potential is not just you know your potential but also starting a movement that
influences other people and i you know if i read over your stuff starting a movement that influences other people. And I,
you know, if I read over your stuff, listen to what you say, there's no question that you believe
that human beings can influence one another. And, you know, you read all the experts and
the truth is, is that we are all wired, uh, to, to pass on our enthusiasm, to transfer our
enthusiasm. And somebody, I read an expert that once one time, um, right. I read an expert that said, everything about us is
contagious. And so I guess what I would say is, to what extent do you feel you really do believe
people have the ability to influence one another and to spread movements?
I think it's everything. I think it's everything. I think it's, I think it's everything. I think understanding how to do that.
If you can learn how to do that,
you're going to possess a skill that is probably the most valuable skill in the
face of the earth in regards to being able to make money or make a difference
and making a difference and making money go hand in hand.
So,
um,
but I also think that most people, and I would say 99.9% of people,
lack the confidence, lack the self-esteem, lack the swagger needed to do that.
They hold these limiting beliefs inside that said, I'm not a leader, I'm not this, I to do that. They hold these limiting beliefs inside that said,
I'm not a leader.
I'm not this.
I'm not that.
I'm not this influence.
People won't listen to me.
What I say doesn't matter.
Um,
and you know,
you've got to be a strong motherfucker to be able to stand up and say,
do what I say does fucking matter.
You know what I mean?
And realize that other people identify with that. you know no matter how many how much i talk about this on here most people
just aren't going to ever get it because it is a uh it's a lonely place to be most of the time
because well it's perceived to be lonely because of how much criticism you get in the beginning
you know when you first stand on your fucking soapbox and say something,
half the people are not going to like what you say.
And those people are going to fucking voice up.
Right?
Right.
A year, five, ten years later, you know, when you've got some steam behind you,
those same people who would run their mouths in the beginning are going to shut the fuck up.
They're not going to mouth off in front of a thousand people you see what i'm saying so in
the beginning it's hard for people to do that because they can't deal with the pushback you
know and you have to get through that initial phase um but i think other i think the other
problem with that is that most people don't understand that creating a movement creating
a culture creating something that influences people is has to be genuine and it has to be from the heart and
it has to be of good intention. It can't be a scheme to make you powerful or a scheme to make
you money. It has to be about them first and about you last. And i think most people are unable to buy into that concept i think most
people will pretend that concept and but but at the end of the day it's a manipulation of still
trying to be about them first and the people last we associate the word faith with god but don't you
think it's to really truly believe that if you put others first, everything's going to work out.
That's kind of an act of faith.
Like you're trusting.
No question.
Yeah, you're trusting.
And I think the people that can't do that just don't have the faith to believe that it's going to be worth it.
I think those people lack a core value in their heart that allows them to believe in things that they can't see.
You know what I mean?
And I'm going to tell you right now,
if you're out there trying to be successful and you're not a dreamer and you
can't believe in things that you can't see,
or you have no fucking chance period.
You know what I mean?
And like,
you know,
the funny thing is,
is,
you know,
we're talking about a little bit of spirituality or,
you know, God type things here, is, is, you know, we're talking about a little bit of spirituality or, you
know, God type things here.
But it's funny because if you really examine and pick apart success, the most successful
people were the ones that truly, truly believed in what nobody else could see.
And the world rewards them for that.
So, you know, it's kind of yeah it's kind of
you know if you're struggling with your faith right now it might be something to ask yourself
why does the world reward people who dream and people who believe and people who see things
that no one else can see you see what i'm saying yeah that's a great question that's a i mean it
rewards them with riches dude and fame and fortune and fucking fulfillment
and like all these, the ability to give basically everything that everybody wants, you know,
whether they say they want it or not, it comes from a place of faith.
And I'm not talking about religious faith.
I'm talking about faith in the process, faith in believing in your vision, faith in what you can do and can build.
If you think about it that way, it's definitely something to think about from a spirituality place as well.
Because if that's what the world rewards, you know what I mean?
Right, right.
So, yeah.
I got your wheels spinning over there.
No, you did.
I mean, a lot of different things.
So, going back, I'm going to do one of my favorite, you know, my famous recaps.
But, I mean, we're talking about human potential.
So, obviously, the first and foremost, most important is you're talking about how it's not magic.
It's an equation.
It's action.
And believing that your actions will be significant, that they're never in vain.
You talked a little bit about putting others again and again, when it comes to
your potential, when it comes to people realizing how much they can be, how much they can accomplish,
you always say that their greatest obstacle is not their adversity or their upbringing or their
education or their job or anybody. Their greatest obstacle, their greatest challenge is not their adversity or their upbringing or their education or their job or anybody.
Their greatest obstacle, their greatest challenge is the person that they look at in the mirror every day.
There's no question.
You know, that's where people take self-awareness too far, I think.
I think there's two kinds of people there. I think there's people who look in the mirror and they see all the weaknesses that they have
and they think that's what the world sees.
That's not what the world sees.
That's what you see, right?
You have to find a true balance
of being aware of your strength and your weaknesses and that's hard for people to do
and that's why a lot of fucking egomaniacs and people who are just shit people become successful
because they look in the mirror and see all the great shit they don't see any of the weaknesses
right you know what i mean um but and that's why they become successful because they stand up and
they say hey you know what?
Fuck you. I'm going to go do this and you're going to stop me. And they, they become that
way because no one can stop you. Right. Right. They don't get in their own way. Um, so if you're
like a decent human and you know, it's not, society doesn't, isn't okay with people saying
that they're good at things
themselves.
You get what I'm saying?
Because then you're not fucking humble.
You're not this, you know, everybody wants, dude, humility is the most overrated fucking
thing out there right now and misunderstood thing.
You know, it's humility is good because it allows you to learn things.
Humility is holds a lot of people back because they don't understand what real humility is.
They think that looking in the mirror and telling themselves that they're a piece of shit is being humble.
That's not fucking humble.
You know what I'm saying?
Being humble is knowing exactly what you are and knowing that you're no better than this man or that man or this woman and that woman.
And also knowing that you have a lot to fucking learn and you can improve a lot and you have more
to give. You know what I'm saying? There's just, it's not the car you fucking drive or the house
you live in. And it's, it's not looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, man,
I'm just a regular little Johnny piece of shit from South County, St. Louis, Missouri.
You know what I mean? Like, dude, if you're good at something, you need to be saying, Hey, you know what? I'm pretty good at
this. Now I can improve that. You know, I can get better at this, but I'm pretty good at this.
Let me work on this and get to become the best at that. And I think most people can't look
themselves in the mirror and see the good things about themselves, you know, because it's not
quote unquote acceptable, you know, because's not quote-unquote acceptable right
you know because if you say that if you say hey i'm pretty fucking good at something you know uh
people say oh you're cocky or you're arrogant or you're this or that well what if i actually
am pretty fucking good and the statistics show it my bank account shows it what i've built shows it
and i say i'm pretty good at it is that that still arrogant and cocky? Or is that just saying the fucking facts?
You get what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
You know, if Michael Jordan says, hey, I'm pretty fucking good at basketball, I would
say that's a gross understatement.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Right.
But if he would come out, you know, like when Muhammad Ali came out and said, I'm the fucking
greatest, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Everybody laughed at him.
They say you're a punk.
You know, blah, blah, blah. Now, now what do people at him. They say you're a punk. You know, blah, blah, blah.
Now what do people consider him?
One of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest.
Well, he's certainly greatest in the modern era.
But who believed that before anybody else?
Yeah.
You get what I'm saying?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
You know, it's, I mean.
And I think most people, the reason that their potential bringing this back into, because we've hit on like 50 subjects the point
of what we're talking about most people limit themselves because they can't be okay with being
good at shit you know what i mean or they let their neighbors their friends their parents tell
them that you know you're just a regular dude from here and that blah, blah, blah. Look, I had somebody tell me, don't lose yourself recently.
And I'm like, I'm looking at this motherfucker like, hey, don't fucking worry about me losing myself, motherfucker.
You worry about yourself.
All right.
Like, dude, you're supposed to evolve.
You're supposed to change.
If you're still doing the same shit you were doing in fucking high school, you're missing the fucking point.
If you still have all the same friends that you had in fucking high school, you're missing the point.
If you haven't evolved and changed, you progress to the point where that group of people is really almost, you know, you've outgrown them.
You're missing a fucking point.
Okay.
It's okay to evolve.
It's okay to change.
It's okay to progress.
Now, does that mean you treat them
like shit no does that mean you're you don't want to hang out with them no you can fucking hang out
with them but it's not your life anymore right you're gonna change your change is good not bad
right you know being good at shit because you put in 10 000 hours of fucking work dude that's
something to be proud of not something to fucking have somebody shame you for right you know whether it be anybody right and the cool thing i think about that is that
sometimes some of the guys that you hung out with in high school they will evolve too and you will
find out that both of you together are are the kind of excellent people that you're looking to
be you know what i'm saying yeah you're like you'll find out but people who are you real there's this thing right like oh you're fucking real and loyalty and like
all these things people say oh you're changing and like they try to tell you this shit to make
you feel bad motherfucker you gotta be loyal to yourself first before you can be loyal to anybody
you know what i mean and being loyal to yourself means doing the things that you need to do to take care of
yourself and your family before anything else.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So let's think about that the next time somebody throws that shit in your fucking face.
Right.
You know, oh, dude, you don't lose yourself.
Motherfucker.
I didn't even became myself yet.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Right.
Like, what the fuck?
I'm not who I was in fucking high school
in high school i was a fucking dumb little kid right you know i didn't know shit i still don't
know shit i've just i know a little bit right you know and dude i'm gonna know a lot more in 10 more
years right going back to what you were saying about the uh you know the way that you see yourself
saying though right absolutely like people push that shit on on other people make a feel bad oh absolutely no absolutely oh dude you've
von you've really changed right you know well yeah no shit i'm not fucking preaching at church
anymore i'm doing this and this and this with my life right and my life is progressing right you
see what i'm saying yeah no i trust me more like than you know. It's like an obvious thing. Like, yeah, no shit.
Right.
It's almost like a compliment.
Right.
Like, yeah.
You know what I found?
And I'm a little bit getting off the topic here,
but I find that when people criticize other people for that,
it's because the people who are criticizing-
They stop growing.
Well, the people who are criticizing are insecure,
and they they
kind of fell in love with you the way you used to be because they you became kind of a security
blanket for them and so they kind of leeched on to you and you were their security blanket and
then when you began to evolve and and go beyond their reach it made them feel insecure about
themselves and they're like oh so they they then wanted you to continue being who you always agree does that make sense i mean yeah and then also on the other hand those same people
they feel like you're quote unquote leaving them behind or uh you you you know that oh you're too
good for us well no i'm not too good i'm not too good for anybody i'm just doing my thing right
and if you can't keep up or it's not into you that doesn't mean there's something wrong with me
right i don't look at people who fucking i i don't look at people I used to hang out with like there's something wrong with them.
Right.
I don't.
I would be happy to see any of them.
That's their own.
Have dinner or beer with any of them.
You know, that's their own insecurity.
Right.
Yeah, definitely.
So I think a lot of people were talking about limiting human potential.
I think a lot of people let that shit stop them.
Like it's like this fucking morale, moral guilt thing that people give them and they're like oh man you know what
that person's right no that person isn't fucking right you're you're right they're fucking wrong
period so along with this whole idea of you being the biggest obstacle to yourself uh i mean speak a little bit i know we've done it before but at least touch on this whole idea of you being the biggest obstacle to yourself, I mean, speak a little bit.
I know we've done it before, but at least touch on this whole issue of you are the measure of your own success.
Well, dude, everybody's got different potential.
We all got in the game at a different level.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't measure success by income, by material items, by, you know, companies own or places travel dude success is a is a measure of your own personal
uh fulfillment of potential you get what i'm saying it's everybody got in the game different
i was raised differently than than tyler was or that you were you know what i mean we all got in
the game at a different time at a different place and you can't there's not like one thing that says you know like a lot of
people you know uh this is a long fucking deal man it's not even just your life it's your kids
lives and the lives of their kids you know it's it's it's long we're talking about long concepts
here you know what i mean you know uh my friend my one of my best friends uh dads you know, uh, my friend, my, one of my best friends, uh, dads, you know, he's a, he's a, uh,
he's a, uh, uh, equipment operator. You know what I mean? He runs heavy equipment. Um,
he grew up very, very poor. All right. He raised three sons who, who are all extremely
fucking hardworking, extremely successful guys. And they're all in their own way um the one that i'm
best friends with you know he makes six figures a year job far far more than his dad ever made
right and his dad brought him up the whole life saying hey my job is to make you better than me
you know and that in that aspect and um you know i think you know that's going to flow down to his
kids and that's going to flow down to their kids and you know it's not a a one generation thing
that we're talking about you know so you can't measure it on money or whatever you know so people
do that when they don't that's a that's a juvenile way like when i
say juvenile i don't mean like actual age i mean when you first get into business because i did
the same thing for 10 years i thought success was buying a lamborghini honestly now i don't give a
fuck right you know what i mean like i've been toying about i've been toying with the idea of
getting rid of all my cars because i don't give a shit i mean i like them now but they don't do the same thing that they used to do right um and it you know those are good goals
because those goals are fun they're they're exciting they keep you hustling and there's
nothing wrong with material goals but i've just learned for me that my i get far more satisfaction
out of seeing guys like tyler buy a z06 corvette you
know what i'm saying and move up or guys and other guys in the company you know grow you know what i
mean and like i feel like that is way more satisfying than than you know right personal
shit for me two things come to my mind one is that it's legacy dude yeah one is that comparison
or this tendency to compare yourself to others it's just such a killer of success because like
you said but it's also a driver of success well but what i'm saying your mentality because like
dude i compare myself to people and i i have the fucking cockiness and the swagger and the confidence
to know that i can be fucking better than them. Right.
Like most people can't, like I look at the greatest dudes in our industry and I fucking say, dude, I'm going to be better than that guy.
Right.
And I mean it.
Right.
And I understand that.
I mean, insofar as what you were saying about like when it, when it, when comparison serves
to demoralize you, it's, it's, it's, it's worthless.
Like, it's like what you say you don't
know what somebody else you don't know the opportunity they have you don't know you know
right i think comparing yourselves to other is a good thing for some people and for other people
it's not a good thing you know what i mean i personally like it because i like to have enemies
i like to have fucking rivals i like to have people to measure myself against to drive me
because dude what drives me is the fucking win.
Right.
It's not the money.
It's not cars.
It's not a house.
It's nothing.
I want to fucking win.
That's it.
So I'm wired that way.
I want to fucking win.
And I want to stomp people's fucking brains on the fucking curb.
That's what I want to do.
Most people aren't wired like me.
They think I'm fucking crazy.
So comparing yourself to someone else for most people is not a good thing.
You know what I mean?
And most people argue what I'm saying is not a good thing.
Andy, you're never going to be happy because you're maybe I won't.
I'm just being honest with how I am.
You know what I mean?
I like to compete.
No, actually, I take that back.
I don't like to compete.
I like to fucking dominate.
You know what I mean?
And I enjoy that feeling. Like, dude, when I was playing fucking madden football 10 years ago in the back of my
first store i'd run the score up to 200 fucking to nothing every fucking game and people are like
dude don't you get tired of it no i don't i love it yeah never it's always fun to me yeah you know
what i mean oh absolutely no i yeah and people aren't wired that way and like they say andy
you're never gonna to be really happy.
Maybe I won't, but you don't know what makes me happy.
What makes me happy is not what makes you happy.
So you have to know what makes you happy, and you've got to fucking do those things.
Right.
You saying that reminds me of a great story that I heard one time.
For those of you who are younger, you probably don't remember Steve Spurrier used to be the coach of florida before
he was the coach of south carolina and he used to be known for running up the score that's all i
think of him as is the coach of florida right right yeah and he used to be known for running
up the score and when he first got into it you know his arch rival was bobby bowden and when
they played florida state why shouldn't you run the score right right so this is the great this
is the great you know the great story so he's's playing Bobby Bowden in Florida State.
It's the fourth quarter, and they're still scoring.
They're scoring like 20, 40, tons of points.
And so after the game, Steve goes up to him, and he's real indignant
because he says Bobby Bowden is supposed to be this Christian man,
and he's not having sportsmen like.
So he goes up to him.
He said, why did you run up to score?
And he said, and I'll never forget that Bobby said said to him he says steve what's the purpose of an
offense it's to make touchdowns right what's the purpose of the defense stop us if you can't stop
i'm not going to go out and tell my boys don't do your purpose that's right your purpose is to score
yes and so he's never forgotten that and then of course spurrier went on to be you know what dude that's the fucking truth yeah people don't like the truth
because they're you know they feel sorry for like dude these fucking high school games and i know
i'm gonna get fucking shit on this i don't you know save it because i'm not gonna agree with you
when you know you see these high school basketball scores 100 points to seven
all right and people freak the fuck out coaches get fired over and shit dude fuck that right like
dude if your kids aren't good enough to you know stop a team that's scoring 100 fucking points
and you score seven the other team is clearly not the problem right the problem is your team
you know what I mean?
And that's the fucking liberal pussy mindset out right now
of politically correct nonsense.
You know, oh, I feel sorry for my kids
because they had to endure this beating.
Dude, you know what I would say to my kid
when they come off the fucking field like that?
I'd be like, hey, that didn't feel very good, did it?
No.
That fucking sucked.
You want it to happen again?
Yeah.
Work harder.
Hey, let's get out and do some fucking free throws
and let's practice some layups
and let's get our game going.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Not like, hey, that coach should be fired
because he kicked your ass so bad.
Right.
That's not the real world.
Right.
The real world will fucking stop you.
Period.
No mercy, yeah. No mercy mercy at all no mercy at all the real world does not give a fuck about you and we teach these kids
that it that through their actions that it's a different way and then they go out and get
stomped and then what happens they're you know, they're train wrecks.
I mean, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever, man.
So final point, you know, we're talking about the power of the individual.
We're talking about how you believe in each person's ability to maximize their potential.
I know because we've talked about this, you've even used an example involving President Obama
but you I know that there are the asterisk holes and the people who don't listen who are going to
mistake you saying that people are personally responsible for their success that's not the
same as saying we don't need help or we we're completely autonomous I know that you that you
believe that part of human potential is surrounding you with other people,
surrounding yourself with other people.
That's not other people's duty to help you.
It's your duty to help yourself by surrounding yourself with people who can help you and
actively seeking them out.
I just did a snap story on this the other day, and I talked to my team about this the
other day.
I think I did a podcast about this, actually. i talked to my team about this the other day you know i think
i did a podcast about this actually you know if you're in i did do a podcast about this if you're
an employee of a company it's not the company's duty to reach down and pull you up it's your duty
to put in the work and become so fucking good that they can't ignore you you know what i mean
so that's what i mean by responsibility now that might mean finding a mentor inside the
company uh seeking coaching outside the company but guess what that's gonna take time outside of
the quote-unquote hours of your work day and you're gonna have to put that investment in the
you know these these motherfuckers nowadays they think oh dude i put in my 40 fucking hours and
you know i go home at four o'clock and get here at nine o'clock and you know um that's all i gotta do and i just gotta do it for long enough and eventually all my dreams will
materialize no they won't right and ask anybody who's 60 years old if that's how it works and
they'll fucking set you straight you know i i'm i'm i'm upset with the way and dude i'm so i think
things are about to turn you know i think things are turning because
i feel like people like myself other people who preach the no nonsense like shit that we talk
about here are gaining traction i think people are sick of political correctness i think people
are fucking over it you know we're sacrificing the great qualities and values of this country
and what's made it great to satisfy
a few motherfuckers out there that can't cut it no fuck that right fuck you guys right okay and
another thing is too and i'm gonna put this out there actually i'm not i'm gonna say this for a
different show anyway so the point is is that we can't we can't stop what america is and what it's been built upon and what
for for to satisfy a few fucking delicate little flowers out there that couldn't cut it
you know what i mean like dude oh my kid didn't get a fucking didn't get a trophy and he feels
bad about himself well guess what go do the fucking work. You know,
don't fucking,
you know,
they don't need to change the fucking league around so that you could get a trophy.
You know,
dude,
that's not the way the world works.
Right.
I don't know.
Everybody listens,
knows this shit.
So that's good.
That's good.
