Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What is up, guys?
It's Andy Frisella, and this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality, guys. Today... As always on Mondays, we have Q&AF. That's where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. If you want to submit some questions to be answered on the show, you could do so. DJ will tell you how.
Guys, you can email your questions in to askandyatandyforsella.com. You can also click the link in the description below and submit them there or just drop them in the comment section of the Q&AF videos on YouTube.
Tomorrow you're going to hear CTI. That's Cruise the Internet. That's where we put topics of the day up on the screen. We talk about what's going on. We speculate on what we think is actually going on. And then we talk about how we, the people, have to solve these problems going on in the world. Other times we'll have real talk. This is five to 20 minutes of me giving you a little rant.
And then we'll have 75 hard versus. 75 hard versus is where people who have completed the 75 hard program come on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now, and how they use the 75 hard program to fix their shit. All right.
If you're unfamiliar with 75 hard is the initial phase of the live hard program, which is the world's most famous mental transformation program in history. Okay. You can get that entire program for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. Again, it's 208 on the audio feed. You can also go to andyfurcella.com and buy the book on mental toughness.
The book on mental toughness has the entire Live Hard program plus a whole bunch of other content about mental toughness, how to cultivate it, why it's important, and how to use it to become the best version of yourself. All right. Now, one thing about this show, we are the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads, period. All right. The reason we don't run ads is because I'm not for sale.
Everything I say is what I think. It is very authentic. And I don't want anybody saying this or that or thinking that I'm getting paid to not say or say anything. So basically, I do whatever I want. And I ask very simply that you help us grow the show if you like it. All right?

Chapter 2: How can I maintain momentum in my daily life?
So if it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, if it gives you a new perspective, if you learn some shit, which you absolutely will, especially on Q&AFs, do us a favor and don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. What's up, man? Buenos Dios. Yes.
Yep. You know, I'm going to try to speak a different language every episode. Oh, yeah. Let's see how that goes. You should start with English. All right. I think that this will be my last. No more. All right. Damn, dog. How you doing? You all right? I'm good, bro. You just laid that one up there. You're just desk popping over there, dog.
Come on, man. You shot me. You fucking served that up pretty easy. I mean, you know, you gotta be defensive.
I was typing something up earlier. Mike looked at me. He's like, they're not going to think you wrote that. I'm like, why? He's like, because everything's spelled right. Yeah. You know, so listen, you know, I might still be a little sensitive on that subject, you know, but it's fine, man. Everything is good.
It's a big week, man. Yeah, it is.
Big week, dude. We're rolling, bro. Yeah. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be a great time, dude. Yes. It's so crazy to like, you know, people don't understand this, but like if you want shit to be right and like fucking perfect because you can't get there, bro. Yeah. The amount of planning and prep that has to go into that. Like people think you can.
Oh shit, dude. We start planning this. We start planning next year's Summer Smash the week after Summer Smash. 100%. Yeah. The first thing we do is we sit down and we talk about and debrief everything that happened, how it went, what we liked, what we didn't like, and how we're going to make it better next year. That way the ideas are all fresh right away. So we start working on that immediately.
Yeah. Like actively. Literally next week.

Chapter 3: What strategies help in making confident business decisions?
On Monday or Tuesday, we will sit down and we will debrief the entire thing and we'll make the plan for next year. Then we'll start working on it.
And you got people out here thinking this shit just happens.
Yeah, of course.
It's like everything else. And it's weird too, dude, because there's like a split.
We just keep getting lucky, man, don't you know? That's what it is. We've been lucky for damn near 30 fucking years. That's what it is, dude.
No, but you have those people who think it requires no preparation. And then you have the other group of people who feels like it's all preparation. And no execution. Dude, what the fuck is that about?
Well, I think it's two different mindsets, right? The person who prepares and consumes and plans and consumes some more, they're lacking courage. Okay, and courage is a massive, massive, massive requirement to succeed. You cannot win, you cannot build, you cannot create, you cannot become unless you go.
And so a lot of people will over plan, over prepare and tell themselves, well, I'm just making sure I got everything set up, you know, and I'm just making sure I know what I need to know. Most of what you know, you're going to learn doing it. This is no different than working at Burger King, bro.
You can read the manual, but you aren't gonna know how to make a fucking Whopper until you're making them, all right? That's the same with anything. These guys go to flight school to be fighter pilots. They read the manual. They don't learn shit until they're in the plane. This is how it works. So you have to be willing to go.

Chapter 4: How can I develop a sense of urgency in my actions?
It's not something that just happens, okay? If you look at every single time in your life where everything has become nearly effortless, where you're in the zone, you're locked in, you're kicking ass, everything seems to be working. That is a result of you forcing the execution for so many days before that, all right?
Usually for people, it's about 10 to 12 days of force before the momentum kicks in. And when I say 10 to 12 days of force, I mean, you're gonna have to force it, all right? If you get to a point, And you think like after two days, you're supposed to have this momentum. You haven't been doing it long enough. You don't have the momentum. So you got to build it in order to keep it.
And the reason that you don't feel like that is because you haven't built it yet. It's not some magical force that shows up after two days, bro. Yeah. Here you go, Billy. Yeah. And by the way, the less disciplined you are, the longer it takes to build. So in the beginning, let's just say you're an undisciplined human and you're going to start to work out and train.
That could take you, you know, 20, 30 some days to really get locked in. But if you're someone who has a high level of discipline that has been developed, that just needs to be sharpened up because it's a perishable skill and we need to make sure that we're... That could be three days. It could be four days. Like for me, it's about 10 days. Okay. But it used to be like 30, 40 days. All right.
So I'm talking like 10 years ago. Yeah. All right. So when... You have that discipline muscle developed to a certain level and you know what it is and you know how to utilize it. You know how to leverage it. The amount of time it takes to create the locked in momentum that you're looking for is much shorter. Here's the reality, dude. You don't have it. That's it. You don't have it.
You got to do it longer than what you're doing it. And those days where you're like, oh man, I don't feel like doing it. That's the important day. That's the most important day. Okay. The most important day is is the day that you don't feel like doing it, that you actually do it because that's where the growth comes from. That's where the extra discipline muscle comes from, all right?
So when you like say, oh, and by the way, It's not going to be just easy when you have the momentum. You're still going to have to apply yourself. It's not like, I think the way the question's framed and maybe it's framed wrong, I don't know, but it sounds like this person thinks it's like magic. Like, oh man, I got trouble. No shit, man.
Like, you don't think that I have trouble doing what the fuck I need to do 27 years into this game? There's days when I have, you know, a hundred days of wins in a row And then a day shows up and I'm like, fuck, I don't want to do this, man. But then I think, well, I got 100 days in a row. And that adds extra pressure for me to force that through.
And that's what I'm talking about what people do when they've created that momentum. Because, dude, it only takes two or three days to get totally washed out of that. And that's why in 75 hard, the rule is that if you fail, you start over the next day. But a lot of people seem to forget that because they say, oh, I'm going to start again after this or after that or after this.

Chapter 5: What lessons can I learn from unexpected life events?
Like it has to constantly be there. Yes.
Chapter 6: How do personal experiences shape our understanding of time?
So why do people get so tied in with this momentum thing then? What do you mean?
Because like, it's not, like you said- Well, look, dude, first of all, everybody has the wrong idea about it. Yeah. They think you catch it. Yeah. Okay. But every time you've caught it in your life, if you went back and audited what you did the days before you caught that, you would see how you created it. So it's not something that you catch. It's something you create. That's the point.
Most people completely misunderstand it just like they misunderstand discipline as being a trait that someone's born with instead of being a skill set that you have to develop. Yeah. All right. So it's just a misunderstanding of what it is. Yeah.
and and you know i also think too it's just going to continue to carry them like that's like you know what i'm saying like no you still have to do the work it just makes the work a little bit easier yeah but yeah man you have to keep pushing and that's the reality and you know what that translates into every area of your life that's not just your fitness It's literally a mentality.
That's why Live Hard is a mental fucking program. It is not a weight loss program. It's not a fitness challenge. It is a mental development, mental toughness program. Because if you pay attention to what's happening, you become aware. And like we've been talking about a lot more lately, that awareness allows you to know where you are at any given time. I know...
when my discipline is getting rounded off. I know when I'm not sharp, I can feel it. I may not be like fat Andy way off the reservation. Okay. But like, I can start to see it and I could start to feel it. And the idea is, is that you want to close the gap before it gets out of hand. Right? So,
Once you understand how all these things actually work versus what we're kind of led to believe how they work, how most people think they work, it becomes easier to understand why it's so important to, you know, on that fifth day to push through that because you've already got four days going, dude. You know what I mean?
100%, dude.
100%.
