Speaker 00s - 16.58s

What's sleeping on the floor. Now my jury box froze. Fuck a bowl. Fuck a stole. Counted millions in a cold. Bad bitch, booted swow.Got her on bankrope. Can't fold. Just a no headshot case closed. Close.

Speaker 316.58s - 35.98s

What is up guys? It's Andy Purcellan PERSON. This is the show for the realist sake about it the lies, the thickness and delusions of modern society. And welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today we have Q&AF ORG. We're going to start the week off right.All right. Now, you could submit your questions and be answered on this episode a couple different ways.

Speaker 136.06s - 42.42s

The first way is, guys, email those questions into Ask Andy ORG at Andy Fasela.com. Thanks, DJ PERSON.

Speaker 342.92s - 43.42s

All the children.

Speaker 143.78s - 44.08s

Yes.

Speaker 344.7s - 49.34s

You can also go on YouTube on the Q&AF ORG videos

Speaker 149.34s - 51.52s

and drop your question in the comments

Speaker 351.52s - 222s

and we'll pick some from there as well. Now, as we go through the week, we're going to have shows within the show. We're going to have CTI tomorrow. That stands for Cruise the Internet ORG. This is where we put topics of the day up on the screen.We talk about what's happening. We speculate on what we think is true and what we think is not true. And then we talk about how we, the people, have to solve these problems going on in the world. All right? Other times we're going to have real talk. Real talk is just five to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk. And then we have occasionally 75 hard verses. 75 hard versus where someone who has completed the 75 hard program comes on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now, how they use 75 hard to get their shit in order.And they talk about how you can do the same. All right. Now 75 hard, if you're unfamiliar, is the initial phase of the Live Hard PRODUCT program, which is the world's most popular mental transformation program that you can get for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. Again, that's 208 on the audio feed.We just started YouTube ORG about a year ago, so it's not on YouTube. All right. Now, there is a book available called The Book on Mental Toughness. It's available at Andy Fursela.com. It's a on YouTube. All right. Now, there is a book available called The Book on Mental Toughness. It's available at Andy Furslla.com. It's a great book. We're sold out.If you want to get that book, I'd advise go on there and pre-order it, and we'll ship it to you when it comes in. We typically go through the shipments immediately when they come in. So if you want that book, go over there and order it. It has the entire Live Hard program, top to bottom, in and out. It has 10 chapterson mental toughness, why you need it, how to implement it in your life. And then we have case studies from very successful people who have used mental toughness to become the recognized names that you know them for. So that's the layout. That's the lay of the land. Now we have this thing called the fee. You're going to notice something different about our show we don't run ads all right i financed this show right out of my pocket and the reason i do that is because i don't want to listen to some corporate fuck tell me what i can and can't say it's called real a f not tell me what to say a f all right soin exchange for that i ask very simply that you please share the show we are constantly dealing with censorship and shadow bands and traffic throttling because we talk about real subjects here all right so if the show gives you value if it makes you better if it makes you think if it gives you new perspective if you think it's worth listening to Please do us a solid and share the show if all of you just brought us one person for every episode that you listen to We'd be the biggest show in the world and we'd be able to change the culture going on in society and make the world a better place. All right So don't be a ho

That's enough of that. Let's make some people better today. Yeah, let's do that. Let's stick to what we're good at here. All right. That's enough of that. Let's make some people better today.

Speaker 3526.24s - 528.58s

Yeah, let's do that. Let's stick to what we're good at here.

Speaker 1529.08s - 529.92s

Not pools.

Speaker 3530.12s - 530.28s

Yeah.

Speaker 1531.36s - 556.22s

Guys, Andy, question number one. Let's get it. Andy PERSON, what's your take on the saying that A students are led by B students, managed by C students, hired by D students? I feel like there's a big common denominator among business owners being these D students that they talk about. So what's your thought process on that?Have you ever heard that saying? Yeah, definitely. Is there any validity to it?

Speaker 3557.06s - 828.6s

I don't know. You know, like, here's, if there is, this is what it is. Okay. I know guys who are very successful in school and they're very successful business guys. Okay. And we have to be careful.Just like we talk about generalizing people. We have to talk about generalizing types of people when it comes to business. So I know people who are very successful that did very well in school. I know people who are very successful. I'm one of them who was terrible in school. Here's where I think the validity is in that statement is that typically people who are C students or D students, it's not that they're not intelligent.It's that they pave their own way in life. They make their own rules. They're not good at following directions. And because they're not good of following directions, they often find other pathways that people don't see that are so used to just going down the line one, two, three, following the framework, right? And if we examine what the education system really is and we take a step back, it is not education. It is indoctrination. Okay. It doesn't make you intelligent to have a degree from any sort of. it is not education, it is indoctrination, okay? It doesn't make you intelligent to have a degree from any school.It does not, education is not equal intelligence. Right. Okay. So, I mean, educated people will tell you that it equals intelligence, but it clearly doesn't. It just doesn't. And they like to say that because they invested all this money, all this this time and they like to have a moral superior order over everybody else but it's just not true i know people that have PhDs WORK_OF_ART that are fucking idiots okay um here's the thingwhen you go out into entrepreneurship and you go out into business there is going to be a way to do things that is usually outside the norm if you want to be successful. It's how you innovate processes, not just products, but how you innovate processes and how you innovate the delivery of a product and how you innovate the marketing of a product. And that requires you to see outside the framework of what everybody else is doing.And that's where I think the advantage is for those kind of students. Because a lot of D&C ORG students are dumb fucks. Okay. But there's a lot of very intelligent D&C ORG students like I was who test very high on tests. But I can't stand to sit here and learn from some dumbass who's driving away and a beater. Like to me, when I was 14 years old, I recognized that, right?So I never did good in school because I'm like, bro, why am I listening to this guy when he hasn't really done anything but talk about the thing, right? And when we look at the education process, you know, it's really a test and an indoctrination into following directions so that you understand how to operate in the real world. And most people need that. Most people have to be told one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.There's nothing wrong with that. But when you think like that, I think it does put you at a disadvantage to be able to innovate processes, innovate products, innovate marketing, innovate the competitive advantage that you're going to need to create. So that's my take on it. I don't think one way is better than the other. But if maybe there is a little bit of truth to it.There's definitely some truth to it for me. Okay. So go out and build something real. Go out and build something equitable. Go out and build a real company. Go out and fucking use the tools that you can learn from some of these coaches that are just part of the puzzle, right?Like you can learn how to get fit. You can learn how to create a funnel. You can learn how to run ads. You can learn how to do these things. And then use those things to create an equitable business so that later on in life you have a, you know, nest egg that you can, you know, borrow against or liquidate or exit and have something for your retirement, dude.So, you know, vet your people, vet your teachers. You know, if you're in college and you're listening to some guy who's never done shit, bro, be very careful what you take to heart and what you don't. You know what I'm saying? Like, people have to heart and what you don't. You know what I'm saying? Like people have to be living what it is.They're trying to teach you how to do if you really want to use their advice to go be successful. So to answer the question, dude, you know, there might be some truth to it. But I know people who are successful across all ranges. There's just some people that are just good and super intelligent and they're able to pass the test, but they're also able to see outside the box.

Speaker 1828.8s - 845.32s

Right. You see what I'm saying? So if you're a C or D student out here, that's not something to celebrate and say, fuck yeah, I'm going to start a business. Yeah. No, what I'm saying is, is like, you got to be careful what you say because a lot of these college kids and high school kids that listen to this shit, they will hear that and then they

Speaker 3845.32s - 881.44s

will just quit trying. Like, dude, even if you think that it's pointless to do what it is that you do in a standardized school environment, it is very important that you try hard because that trying hard and that practice and that discipline will translate over into something else. So don't just say, hey, fuck it. This is pointless.Say, hey, I'm here. I've got to complete. This is what I have to do. I'm going to do my best because that will condition you to having the habits that you need outside of that environment, even though that environment is not producing the result that you want.Does that make sense? That makes perfect sense.

Speaker 1881.44s - 892.76s

So let me follow up with this. So what are, because I mean, you know, obviously with the school system, it is more of a what to think, not how to think, right? Which is what's really necessary in the real world.

Speaker 2892.82s - 892.94s

Yeah.

Speaker 1893.38s - 911.6s

Now, this thinking outside the box, you talk about the innovation side of things, what would you say are some other common denominators amongst entrepreneurs? Like things that you've met a shit ton of them, right? Like, I mean, what are some things that, you know, all of you guys, you would say you had in common outside of the thinking outside of the box?

Speaker 3911.6s - 1016.3s

Well, I think first off and foremost, all successful entrepreneurs are unwilling, 100% unwilling to accept the status quo for their life. All right? They are not going to be like everybody else, no matter what it takes. No matter what it takes.It doesn't matter. That's the first thing. The second thing is that they all have big dreams. They don't just think small. They don't think realistic. Like when your teachers and your friends say,oh, have realistic thoughts. Have realistic goals. Yeah, if you want to be a small little peasant, that's a good thing. But all the people that you look up to that you want to embody if you want to be a small little peasant, that's a good thing. But all the people that you look up to that you want to embody and you want to fucking be like, those people are dreaming so big that most people can't comprehend it.And because they dream big, the actions they take are naturally bigger, which even if they don't reach the actual dream that they have, they will be so much further along than everybody else that it's a success anyway. So those are two things. I think relentless grit and fortitude and endurance, mental toughness is 100% a requirement to get past, you know, the level of quote unquote mediocre and average. So most of the people that you are successful dedicatean extreme amount of time to intentionally put in themselves in uncomfortable positions like the 75 hard and live hard program so that they can build that resilience, that grit, that fortitude, that mental toughness to get through the path because the path only gets harder. It never gets easier.And that's a myth that people have. People think, oh, once I get here, it'll be easier. No, the higher you go, you're competing against better competitors and it gets much fucking harder. Is it harder for Michael Jordan PERSON to play high school basketball or fucking pro basketball? Right.

Speaker 21016.38s - 1017.06s

You see what I'm saying?

Speaker 31017.18s - 1018.16s

It gets harder.

Speaker 21018.16s - 1077.28s

So you have to build the skill set and you have to build that mental toughness to go down the path effectively. I think they have that in common. I think most of these people are highly dedicated to self-education, meaning they're reading books, they're listening to podcasts, they're taking notes. But then what makes them different from everybody else that does those thingsis that they actually take those lessons and apply them in real life. So the application of the lessons that all of you guys consume, but most of you don't apply, they do apply religiously. So I think those are some common things. Most of those guys are fit. Most people who are successful are somewhat fit.And I know there's exceptions to that, you know, when you look at like, you know, Trump or fucking Elon PERSON, you know, they're not super fit guys. But they're also so far past the point of like that initial grind phase that it's not really that important anymore to them. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 31077.74s - 1134.7s

And I think they're the anomaly. Most entrepreneurs that are successful in this day and age are taking very good care of their bodies and their minds in a consistent basis. Why is that? Yeah, because it's your tool. This is the fucking tool, bro. Your tool is you.So if you're going to battle with this being your tool, don't you want this tool to be the best possible thing? Your mind, your body, your spirit. These are the tools, bro. So they sharpen that. I think another thing that a lot of these guys have in common is that they don't keep losers around him for any amount of time bro they don't allow drama in their life they don't allow gossip in their life they don't allowpeople who drama and gossip in their life they don't allow distractions their circle is small they associate with other people who think like them who who have goals like them, who want to win like them. And they cut everybody else out. They're very hard to get to. So those are some things that I would say are in common. There's a lot more to you, but those are off top of my head.

Speaker 11134.82s - 1135.96s

Yeah, for sure, man. I love it.

Speaker 31136.28s - 1136.8s

I love it.

Speaker 11137.32s - 1158.2s

Well, guys, Andy, question number two. Andy, I'm 16 years old. And my question is about motivation and success. What have you found to be the best form of motivation for achieving success? I see other people winning, but I sometimes look at my environment and I can't connect the dots on how to make that a reality in my life.

Speaker 31158.2s - 1254.48s

How the fuck can you look at your situation that you're currently living and not be fucking motivated? If you can't look around at your current life and say, fuck, this sucks and be motivated for more, bro, you can't do it. You should just quit. Go do something else because your existing situation in life should be enough motivation to get you started.Now, motivation when you start is cool, right? It feels good. But the reality is, motivation is not the key to the castle, bro. Discipline is the key to the castle. Because there's going to be lots and lots and lots and lots of times. In fact, the majority of the time that you are not going to wake up in the morning and say,fuck, dude, I really feel like going out and get my balls kicked in all day. That's not going to happen. So you have to say, hey, I'm going to do this regardless of how I feel. I'm going to execute, even if I'm having a bad day, even if my dog died, even if I had to do this, even if this shit's going wrong. My shit is getting done day in and day out.And that is the fucking secret sauce about winning. It's not motivation. But motivation feels good. And motivation is valuable, especially when you're in the beginning. So if you can't look around and say, fuck, dude, my life is fucked up. I want way more than this.I want better than this. And be motivated to go down the path. Bro, you don't have it. You don't have it. That's it. You do not fucking have it.You should just accept your reality, like all your friends, all your family, go sit on the fucking bench and watch the game where everybody else is going to go out and kick ass because you don't have it if your current situation doesn't motivate you. That's the fucking facts of the matter.

Speaker 11255s - 1260.24s

Why do so many people look for external motivation? What do you think of the disconnect is?

Speaker 31260.32s - 1344.02s

Well, there's a fucking, you know, in society, bro, there's an, there is a disproportionate amount of value placed on motivation compared to discipline. People think that it's motivation. They think, oh, dude, let's go do this, right? And they don't understand that it doesn't matter if you feel like doing it. What matters is, is that you do it. And that's the biggest key that most people can't connect because, dude, we hear this term motivational speaker. Okay. So this is why I don'tlike speaking really, dude, even though I'm great at it. You know, you go to this event, you pay fucking 500 bucks. The motherfucker tells you some shit. You walk out of there. You're hyped and you go home and you don't do anything. Okay. So events are great, but you should go to events where they're going to teach you one, twos, three, fours. These are the steps to do it. Because if you don't have that intrinsic motivation to do it,to at least get started, you can't start. So that's assumed that you have that, right? And then you have to work on your discipline. You have to work on your ability to execute when you don't feel like doing it. And that's what the live Hard program is so important. You know, I don't know a single person who wakes up every single day and says,fuck, dude, I can't wait. I can't wait to go, you know, get my ass kicked. Like, because that's the reality of entrepreneurship. It sounds absurd, right? I can't wait to go.

Speaker 21344.2s - 1403s

Which is life. Dude, it's life, bro. Yeah. It's life. It's hard. It's fucking grind. It's grueling. And because we have all these entrepreneur bozos on the fucking internet who never built a goddamn thing talking about, you know, how easy it is and how cool it is and how it's awesome, you're getting all these kids sucked into this game of entrepreneurship when in reality only 8% of people are entrepreneurs and only 1% of that 8% is actually successful at it. It is a very hard career. It is the hardest career you could ever choose in your fucking life. So if you think it's going to be easy fun and you're going to have freedomand all this shit, you're drinking the Kool-A PRODUCT that ain't true. You're in for a rude awakening. The shit I tell you and the shit anybody else who's built something real will tell you is that you have to fucking go hard every single day, no matter what, no matter what you feel like, no matter what's going wrong, and your shit has to get done. And that's it. That's how you get there.So I don't really, you know, motivation for me, dude, is not a thing anymore.

Speaker 31403.24s - 1439.74s

I don't even think about it. I don't wake up and think, man, I don't feel like doing that or whatever, because it's irrelevant. And once you lived a discipline lifestyle for long enough, motivation does become irrelevant. And it's almost comical when people bring it up. Like, bro, that's a very amateur way of thinking. And I don't fault you for thinking that way because that's how everybody thinks. But what we have to do is we have to shiftyour mindset from, from I got to feel like doing it to it doesn't matter if I feel like doing it. I'm going to get it done anyway. And that's what winners do. That's how people build amazing shit. That's how they become great.And that's how it's going to be no different for you.

Speaker 11439.96s - 1454.58s

Yeah. So you're saying it's so using motivation or filling the need to need motivation. That'll get you going a decent amount. But at some point, you got to cross that line over to this other animal mindset of it doesn't matter how I feel.

Speaker 31456.68s - 1533.22s

What's your life going to look like if you don't do it? What's your life going to look like if you don't fucking go out and build what the fuck you want to build? That you have this little vision in your heart and in your mind of what your life should be like. And what are you going to feel like if you don't go do that? What are you going to feel like in a year? Five years, 10 years, 20 years. When you die, what are you going to be saying? Because I can promise you, bro, that dream ain't going away. That dream was placed in your heart and in your mind by God. It is your purpose.And you are obligated to go build it. And for you to go build that, it's going to require executing when you don't fucking feel like it. So you better just go out and figure this out right now. It's discipline. It's not motivation. Look around at your life.If you can't go from looking around it your life, then just expect your life to get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. And in 20 years, you're going to be saying, fuck, I should have fucking went. I should have went and did that. And 20 more years past that, if you don't do it then, you're going to be saying, fuck, I wasted 40 years. I wasted my life. Fuck, that's what's going to be, that's going to happen to you.Go ask someone who's 60 years old if they regret not following their dreams. I promise you, if you get them to be honest, they're going to say yeah.

Speaker 11533.42s - 1535.22s

Yeah. Fuck, man.

Speaker 31536.24s - 1537.44s

That's real shit, man. I know it's real shit, bro.

Speaker 11537.56s - 1540.14s

That's where most of these people fucking fuck their lives up.

Speaker 21540.34s - 1540.48s

Yeah.

Speaker 31540.66s - 1548.44s

They think like you've got to feel like, bro, I walk in here every fucking fucking day Probably out of the seven days a week that I come in here

Speaker 11548.44s - 1551s

There's probably two of the days that I feel like it

Speaker 31551s - 1562.58s

And I have the greatest fucking company in the world bro I work with the baddish ass people I don't work with a bunch of Karen NORP corporate fucks I work with badass motherfuckers that give a shit and it's still hard

Speaker 21562.88s - 1564.66s

Because our goals are so big

Speaker 31565.04s - 1650.78s

Okay, so it doesn't matter if I fucking and I'm tired fuckers that give a shit. Yeah. And it's still hard because our goals are so big. Okay. So it doesn't matter if I fucking, and I'm tired or if I don't feel like it, bro, I have to do it. And so like, dude, you guys have to quit valuing this thing that all these nerds on the internet call motivation and start realizing what actually matters. And what matters is, is do you have the capacity to execute at a high standard when you don't feel like it, especially when you don't feel like it?Because when you don't feel like it is when everybody else quits. And that's when you widen the gap between yourself and everybody else. So let's say those four days where I don't feel like it, I'm competing against Joe PERSON down the street. And when he comes in on his four days, that he don't feel like it, I'm competing against Joe down the street. And when he comes in on his four days, he doesn't feel like it, he does half-ass shit. But on my four days, I'm executing at the highest level because I've developed that skill set of discipline to do so.Over time, I'm going to widen that gap further and further and further and further and further and further and further away from that dude. And this is how the game works it is legitimately a mathematical equation how many days did you win how many days did they win that's it it's math bro it's not magic it's not mystical it's not success fairy nonsense it's not luck it is fucking math How many motherfucking days can you win at a high standard, especially when you don't feel like it? Because that's when everybody else

Speaker 11650.78s - 1686.42s

quits. I fucking love it, man. I love it. Guys, Andy, our third. And final question. Question number three, Andy PERSON. Andy, I have been grinding for the last five years, and I'm about to purchase my first really nice car. I've been working my ass off. My family's good, kicking ass at work. My question is, how do I know if it's the right thing?Is it just an emotional purchase? I've been putting off going to the dealer for three days now. I can't really pinpoint why. Did you deal with this when you bought your first nice car? And if so, how did you overcome it?

Speaker 31686.64s - 1855.06s

Well, first of all, I didn't buy my nice car until I was 11 years in business, not five. All right. I don't know where the fuck you are, but I was doing very well. I was making seven figures when I bought my first nice car. Okay. So there's that.Okay. So let's reevaluate where you're actually at. Are you making over a million dollars a year in income? Because if not, I wouldn't buy shit. And I would take all that money and I would dedicate it to building your cash flow, building your company, building your career.Because every single fucking dollar that you don't do that with is more time that it's going to take for you to get there. Okay. So where are you really at? Do you want to buy this car because you think it's going to make you look successful? Or do you want to buy this car because you're a car aficionado and you're passionate and it'ssomething that you love? That's what I am. Okay. I don't buy, I don't even show you guys my fucking shit. Okay. I love cars.I love driving. It is important hobby to me. It just so happens to be expensive. So, but the truth of the matter is, is when I bought my first car, I was making over a million bucks a year. I was 11 years in business. And you guys see all this bullshit on the internet and you think you need to have this shit. And I know this is the answer that you probably don't want to hear, but this is definitely one perspective. Now, another perspective, which is also true, is that you need to touch and feel and experience success along the way to keep you going, to keep you understanding that this is how my life is going to turn out. And it needs, you need to touch it. You need to experience it. Now, you don't necessarily have to buy a car for that. You can rent a car. You could go on a trip. You can go see the houses. Whatever you want to do. But there is truth to experiencing that. But this fake it till you make it mentality that theinternet creates is completely false. These kids that go out there and buy these cars and they're fronting this shit, it's only a matter of time before they don't have them anymore. I mean, dude, I've been doing the internet game since since 2012 you know how many people i've seen come and go with a fucking you know a couple cars and then they're bragging and they're talking all the shit in the next year they don't have shit they're talking about you know what they're doing you know what they say you know what i decided that you know these cars are just too materialistic for me and I'm kind of over it. You know, I just want to be a little more humble and other things are more important to me.Just like I talked about on last Q&AF where I talk about people who take their dreams and they take what they have currently and then they try to say, oh, this is what I actually wanted, right? So usually what these guys do is they go out, they buy these cars, they front on the internet, they stop making money, they lose their cars, and then they come up with a fucking story about how they never wanted them in the first place, which is completely fucking bullshit.

Speaker 11855.4s - 1856.2s

Much happier now.

Speaker 31856.32s - 1872.62s

You don't want to be the motherfucker that gets the cars and then has them disappear. You don't want to be that guy, bro. So I would evaluate what's more important to you. Is it more important to feel cool and look cool or is it more important to build an actual business? I would argue that it's way more important to build an actual business. Now,

Speaker 21872.62s - 1878.02s

you might be making $10 million a year and I don't know that. And if you are, you know,

Speaker 31878.46s - 1883.72s

you got a little more freedom to indulge in things like that. You know, there are, there are guys out

Speaker 21883.72s - 1885.36s

here who will say, you know, you should

Speaker 31885.36s - 1891.04s

never buy a car that's worth more than fucking 20 grand or whatever, right? Well, you know, I disagree

Speaker 21891.04s - 1896.76s

with that. That's what it is. Like, why the fuck do we do all this shit, right? Why the fuck

Speaker 01896.76s - 1903.68s

have I worked 25 years? Oh, it's so I can fucking roll around a badass shit that I enjoy. But have you

Speaker 31903.68s - 1905.04s

paid your dues yet?

Speaker 21907.66s - 1907.88s

That's a question that only you can answer.

Speaker 31914.7s - 1914.9s

So I would evaluate where you are, be honest with yourself about where you are, be honest with yourself about your income.

Speaker 21918.94s - 1919.02s

And if you've got to stretch and finance that shit out just to like, dude, don't do that.

Speaker 31921.86s - 1928.8s

Don't put yourself in a vulnerable position, especially in the early days. And I know you're five years in, you think you're not in the early days. You're still in the fucking early days, bro. So that's my answer to that.

Speaker 11931.7s - 1945.04s

Yeah, let's just talk about rewarding yourself in general, right? Like, what have you found to be the best way? Like, how do you reward yourself for the hard work you put in? You know, when you've been planting for so long and you start seeing those sprouts come up a little bit right

Speaker 31945.04s - 1950.16s

what that's the reward the reward is seeing the progress the reward is looking at your business

Speaker 11950.16s - 1960.2s

and saying oh man i did 14 000 today oh man i did 32 000 today oh man we did 80 000 oh we did 200

Speaker 31960.2s - 1964.96s

000 oh we did 5 million in that you see what i'm saying yeah that's the fucking reward bro

Speaker 11964.96s - 1970.8s

because that business is equitable, meaning you can borrow against it, you could sell it,

Speaker 31970.84s - 1975.4s

you can exit it, and it's worth exponentially more than what you're going to take home and payroll.

Speaker 11975.74s - 1983.16s

So that is the winning for the actual winners, the actual operators who love business, the reward

Speaker 31983.16s - 1985.94s

is the winning. All the other shit doesn't mean anything, bro.

Speaker 11986s - 2012.34s

I could really, like, as much as I love cars, I don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? Like, as much as I love my house and my properties, I don't give a fuck. I like winning. Winning is fun. I like seeing things go from my ideas to paper to in person and life and sprout and createand win that battle. That's the reward, reward bro and you guys get caught up in this and by the way i like material shit but you guys do get too caught up in this materialistic

Speaker 32012.34s - 2040.12s

shit and you don't understand that the game is not about how much material shit you can acquire it's about how much progress you can make so instead of building your value in what you can acquire what you can buy or what you your perceived lifestyle, you should build your value on what your real success is and what your real progress is. Otherwise, you're going to end up like one of these fucking clowns who has this shit for a minute and then doesn't have it. And then, like, you know, what you're all afraid of is getting laughed at. Then everybody laughs at you.

Speaker 12040.44s - 2041.28s

Everybody lies. Yeah.

Speaker 32041.58s - 2042.82s

So don't be that guy.

Speaker 12043.08s - 2045.16s

All right. Well, some extra sauce for this.

Speaker 32045.16s - 2074.46s

We're giving some extra sauce for Monday morning. Some juicy juice. Yeah, let's do it. Guys, I had a question number four. What's up, Andy and DJ PERSON? I got a question for you all that I've been noticing in my work environment.I'm 24 years old, not a hoe. I work as a junior senior high school math teacher. And I'm also the dean of students of the junior senior high school. Damn. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. That's a young man.That's super young. You know, one of my best teachers I had was young when I had them.

Speaker 12074.52s - 2075.3s

Was it super young?

Speaker 32075.36s - 2079.02s

Yeah, his name was, I talked about him on a show before, Kevin Walsh PERSON. All my teachers were old.

Speaker 12079.02s - 2082.36s

Yeah, he's, he's, uh, Luke Walsh's PERSON dad, you know, the basketball player.

Speaker 02082.58s - 2083.22s

Oh, no shit.

Speaker 12083.34s - 2083.48s

Yeah.

Speaker 32084.02s - 2092.76s

So Kevin taught us, uh, he had this class called Current Issues ORG, which is the inspiration for what we do now, right?

Speaker 22093.38s - 2097.72s

And bro, we, man, I'm sorry, Kevin PERSON.

Speaker 32098.48s - 2109.36s

I love that dude. He's such a good dude, but we were such a little fucks. Like, I'm surprised he didn't beat our asses. But dude, hey, I took what you and beat our asses but dude hey I took what you taught we're doing something with it bro number one show right there we go appreciate it

Speaker 12109.36s - 2173.46s

there we go but yeah dude that's a that's a young man that's young man um now since I'm on the administrative team at the school school culture is super important to me one of the things that I've started to notice with my boss the school principal and the veteran teachers is that most of them will take the initiative to get something done, which is great. However, 90% of the time, they will not relay or communicate that information with the parties involved, causing mass confusion between staff members and even myself. My question is, when you take the initiative on something that will involve multiple people and multiple parties, what is the most effective way you have found to communicate that withthem? I'm all about taking the initiative on things that I know, and I know that's one of your core values and beliefs within your own businesses. But from what I am seeing is that pieces on the chessboard are moving without any explanation as to why they are moving. I understand I'm very young to be in the leadership position like this.I have a lot to learn. But am I looking at this from the wrong perspective or is there a true issue here? Interested to hear your thoughts.

Speaker 32174.4s - 2221.9s

Well, first of all, man, you know, let me say this. Leadership is a lifelong learning process. So you're going to be getting better even when you're 44, okay? I feel like I learn new things every single day and I've been leading big teams for a long time. And this is probably the first time that you've led a big team. And so communication is a huge deal, huge deal.To set the standard for communication, at least in the beginning, you almost have to have a micromanagement role. You have to basically say, this is what I need. This is what I want you to do. And back in the early days when I was setting this up, I'd actually write this shit out on a piece of paper and make them sign it.

Speaker 12222.38s - 2257.4s

So I would say, okay, here's what you want. Here's the process. All right. So I used to do this thing. I don't do it anymore where if I sent out a group text to everybody, they had to reply back that they confirmed it.They received it and they understood it. And that was so that later on, if they didn't do it, I could say, well, hey, you replied back to this. You said this, right? So like, that would be the process that was in the paper. I would say, all right, here's how we're going to dictate directions. Here's how we're going to do things. Here's the process for this.If I text you, this is what the response should be if you understand it. If you don't understand

Speaker 32257.4s - 2354.48s

it, text me on the side, ask me the question, we'll figure it out. So really, dude, in my opinion, I think this is a matter of getting, you know, all the gray beards and the old dogs to really understand how you're going to run things, which is just going to require some clear communication and some assertiveness on your point, which can be intimidating when everybody else is much older than you. You know, when I was in my 30s or in my 20s, I had a lot of people that worked thatwere older than me. And that was a unique situation because for some reason, people think that if they're older than you, they're automatically more skilled or talented than you. And that's just not the case. So that's what I would do. I would take a piece of paper.I would say, this is how I wanted to flow. And I would sit down with all of your people. And I would say, okay, I'm trying. Like, you know, you're, let's say the lady who's 60 years old who's been there for 30 years, right? Sit down with her and say, hey, Mary PERSON, look, I'm trying to get everybody coordinated so that we aren't just moving chest pieces all over the board and we've got a cohesive movement that we're trying to create for these kids so that everybody can get whatwe need them to get. And right now, here's what's happening. Certain people are doing it this way. Certain people are doing it this way. And it makes everything not work. Your job's not working.My job's not working. So I've come up with this little solution on how to get everybody on the same page. And this is what it's going to look like. And you line it out on the piece of paper. And you're going to say, then you're going to show it to her and you're going to say,now do you have any feedback for that or anything you think? And this is in a private setting, right? Because if you start this in a public setting, it'll start all the chirping. I think this.

Speaker 22354.58s - 2405.84s

I think that. Can't run shit by committee. Okay? If you run a team and you're fucking running it by committee, you're going to fucking lose.You will end up with such vanilla bullshit. This is why most companies end up getting bad. In the beginning, they're run by a founder. They're run by a close-knit group of team. Then they get bigger and they get all these corporate fucks involved in their company. And then they sit around a table and they eliminate everything cool to be safe.And it ends up with a vanilla product, vanilla marketing, vanilla fucking processes, and then you end up losing. So sit down with Mary PERSON, go through the list, ask her for her feedback, say, hey, this is, what do you think? Where can we improve? And I would go to the people that you trust the most first. All right. Go to the people who you know are going to have good ideas and tell you the truth first, because they're likely going to point out the holes

Speaker 32405.84s - 2416s

in your processes quick that way when you go to the lesser trusted employees or the lesser bought-in employees the teachers they will they will those holes will be covered so they'll be less

Speaker 02416s - 2422.64s

static there you know what I'm saying and then you sit down with her and you say okay uh so this is what

Speaker 22422.64s - 2425.74s

I expect I'm going to have you sign this. And I'm going to have everybody sign it.

Speaker 02426s - 2427.46s

That way we're all on the same page.

Speaker 32427.52s - 2505.44s

And your great teachers, your great employees are going to say, fuck, thank God. I'm so tired of this shit being all over to place. Most employees are, in this case, teachers, they love clear cut communication. There is nothing worse than wondering what the fuck is going on. Okay. Everybody here has been an employee at some time.Do you guys not hate that? Because I fucking hated it. I want to know what the fuck is going on. And I want to know exactly what to do. And not only do I want to know exactly what to do, I want to know exactly what to do, so that I'm valued so that I can move up in my career.All right? So you as a young man, you need to realize that most people crave clear, concise leadership. And by you sitting down and doing this, you're going to build that framework for your team. And yeah, you're going to have some kickback. And yeah, you're going to have some mistakes. But you address those individually as they happen.Okay. So like, let's say you sign these contracts and everybody fucking goes out and starts to do it. And then you got one guy who's a problem. You don't take the whole team and be like, you guys aren't fucking doing this. I used to do that when I was youngerand it was the wrong move. Because then it makes an issue for everybody. So you go over to Steve PERSON over here, who's stuck in the old ways. You say, Steve PERSON, you sign this contract, bro. This is what I expect. This is what we're going to do.And if you can't do that I'm gonna have to let you go

Speaker 22505.44s - 2509.78s

you're gonna have to go somewhere else yeah and you know he'll either get in line

Speaker 32509.78s - 2531.28s

or he won't and if he doesn't that's okay just find somebody that will and by the way when you bring new people into a culture that already exists and a system that already exists there's no pushback because that's just the way that it always was so after a while this just becomes the way and you don't have to do this formality of actually setting the framework does that make sense yeah i love it i

Speaker 12531.28s - 2536.96s

fucking love it guys andy that was four don't be a horror

Speaker 02536.96s - 2551.68s

yeah we're from sleeping on the flow now my jury box froze fuck a bull fuck a stole counted millions in a cold Bad bitch booted swow Got her on bankroo Can't fold Duss a noteHeadshot case closed
