Guys, today we have Q&AF. That's where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. You can submit your questions a few different ways. DJ will tell you how.
DJ (0:35)
Yeah, guys, you can email your questions in, as always, but you can also submit video clips and audio clips. You check the links in the description below for that, or just drop them in the comments section of the Q&AF videos on YouTube.

As you guys may or may not know, tomorrow we'll have CTI. That stands for Cruise the Internet. We're going to put topics on the screen. We're going to talk about what's going on in the world. We're going to speculate, and then we're going to talk about how we, the people, have to solve these problems going on. All right? Other times we're going to have 75 Hard Verses. 75 Hard Verses is when someone who has completed the 75 Hard Program comes on the show, they talk about how they were before, how they are now, and how they used 75 Hard to transform their lives. If you are unfamiliar with 75 Hard, it is the initial phase of the Live Hard Program, which is the world's most famous mental transformation program in history. And it is available for free at episode 208 on the audio feed only. You can also get the book. The book is available at andyfrisella.com. It's called the Book on Mental Toughness. It includes the entire Live Hard Program plus a whole bunch of other information on mental toughness, how to use it to become the best version of yourself. And guys, don't forget, we don't run ads on the show.
Okay, we're the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads.
We do that because I don't want you to be thinking I'm getting paid to say something or think something.
And in exchange, I ask very simply that you help us share the show. All right, so if it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, you see a clip out there, do us a solid man and share the show. Put a lot of work into it, and you know, it does us a great deal of good when you guys share it out. So don't be a ho.
