DJ (0:36)

If this is your first time listening, there are shows within the show. Tomorrow, you're gonna get CTI. That stands for Cruise the Internet. Today, we're gonna answer your how to get better questions. Tomorrow, we're gonna talk about what's going on in the world, all right? We got REAL Talk. We got 75 Hard Verses. If you're unfamiliar with 75 Hard, it is the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which you can get in its entirety for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. Again, that's 208 on the audio feed. There's also a book available on andyfrisella.com called The Book on Mental Toughness. It is not free. It's more complete than just the podcast.

If you're unfamiliar with 75 Heart, it is the world's most famous mental transformation program. There is not a program that's ever existed. It has transformed more people mentally and helped them get their shit together. And I highly suggest that you do it. Now, one of the things that we do have here is we have a fee for the show. The fee is very simple.

We don't run ads on the show. OK, so we ask very simply that you just help us share the show out. If it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it gives you new perspective. Do us a favor. Don't be a hoe.

DJ (1:58)

Andy Frisella (1:59)

Andy Frisella (2:14)

Oh, too dark.

SPEAKER_3 (2:14)

Someone say too dark.

Andy Frisella (2:17)

Too dark, huh?

DJ (2:18)

Yeah, man. No, you're looking good, though, doc.

Andy Frisella (2:20)

That sounds a little racist.

Guys, we got three good ones for you, man. We got some we got some videos. Let's get started with the clip.

Andy Frisella (3:21)

Here we go. Andy, what's good?

SPEAKER_3 (3:25)

My name is Christian. I'm 23 years old. I'm just asking, how do you deal with the guilt of taking time off, days off? So I've been working on this brand for like two or three months. I'm trying to develop this clothing brand. Even though people say our clothing is oversaturated and all, but it's just like any business. That's what I believe. There's competition everywhere. There's nothing wrong with competition. It's like my fourth business. I unfortunately failed like three or four businesses. I was 18, but I just refused to give up. And during that time, I developed an obsession with just working and working and working.

And anytime I take a day off or some time off, like one day, two days, it's just mentally training. I don't like to take days off. And I'm just obsessed with my vision and goals. And I purposefully tried to make myself be like mediocre, coming home, having beer, playing some PS4. It's just not for me. I tried to force myself, but this obsession will never go away.
