Who is Andy Frisella and what is this show about?
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 Motherfreakin' Reality. That's the new rules. I can't say the F word. Isn't that right? That's right. All right. Today, as promised... We have a real talk. Before we get into that, though, I do want to address something.
Why has the MFCEO project been delayed and what can we expect?
I witnessed a comment on Monday's episode that talked about how the MFCEO project has been massively delayed. It's actually pretty funny because whoever made the comment said, we don't know what's going to come first, GTA 6 or the MFCEO. And I just want to let you guys know that I recognize that that is true. But I will also tell you that when you see what we've created, you are going to be blown away. All right? And the truth of the matter is, is if we started this project... Probably three or four times from scratch over to deliver what we feel is going to be the greatest personal development podcast ever So while I know you guys are excited and i know some of you are getting a little frustrated just know that we are delivering something to you that is uh it's going to be amazing all right so just want to reassure you guys uh this isn't something that we're taking lightly you know this is
What does 'personal excellence being the ultimate rebellion' mean?
something that i truly care about is something that is important to me um when we talk about personal excellence being the ultimate rebellion i want to make sure that we were doing everything that we could properly to make sure that we are helping people become the best version of themselves not just for themselves but for the culture all right for your household for your community uh for your state and for the country man we can't fix things if we don't fix ourselves and there's a way to do that right and then there's a way to deliver it kind of right and if you know anything about me kind of right it's just not going to be the way that i'm going to launch it so i do apologize for taking a while but trust me when it launches you're going to be very excited so uh and and you know that's pretty consistent with gta 6 too i think right so it's an accurate comment
But guys, today I wanted to give you a real talk, all right? I've been promising you guys real talks. I've been promising you that we were going to get more into that. And I've got one for you today that I think is very important, especially for you young guys who are out there listening. who need to understand a few things.
Why is mediocrity promoted and how does it affect us?
One, we are coming out of an era where mediocrity has been promoted very heavily. And we have to understand that the reason that mediocrity has been promoted very heavily is because they want you to be a victim. They want you to be helpless. They want you to think that the standard at which you are held in your external environment is excellence and it's not, okay? No great person that ever existed on the face of this earth ever became great by just living to the standard of the external environment of which they were required, all right? And what does this mean? This means when you go to your job or you go to your sports practice or you do whatever it is you're trying to do, the standards that are expected of you are not the standards that create greatness.
How do high performers exceed external standards to achieve greatness?
High performers hold themselves to a higher standard than the one that they are given. All right. That's the separator between great people and average people. That's the separator between earning a living and becoming wealthy. That's the separator between nobody knowing who you are and every single motherfucker on the planet knowing that. who you are. It's about exceeding the external standards. Okay. And when we think about great people and we think about greatness, some of the people that I admire are people like Kobe Bryant. All right. Michael Jordan, Tom Brady. And none of those people lived up to the expectations, okay? Kobe Bryant worked exponentially harder than what the Lakers expected of him. Tom Brady, he worked exponentially harder than what the Patriots expected of him, okay?
