If this is your first time listening, we have shows within the show, okay? Tonight, we're going to have CTI live. We will be broadcasting live at 7 p.m. on YouTube and X. This is where we talk about what's going on in the world. We speculate on what we think. We have some laughs, and then we talk about how we, the people, have to solve these problems going on in the world.
Other times, we're going to have real talk. Real talk is just 5 to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk. And then we have 75 Hard Verses, and 75 Hard Verses is where someone who has completed the 75 Hard Program comes on the show to talk about how their life was before, how their life is now, and how they used the 75 Hard Program to become the version of themselves that you see today.
If you're unfamiliar with 75 Hard, it is the world's most famous mental transformation program ever. And you can get that for free at episode 208. It is the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which is also available for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. There is a book available at andyfersella.com called The Book on Mental Toughness.
You don't have to buy it, but if you do, it's got a whole bunch more information than what you get in just the podcast. Check it out. If you're somebody like me, that likes to know the ins and outs, it's a must-have, all right? And then we have a fee for the show, and the fee is pretty much, give me all your money, right?

Chapter 2: How do you differentiate between maturity and risk-taking?
We talk about this all the time. The greatest people in the world rarely actually achieve their goals, quote unquote, because by the time that goal that they've set is within their vision, they're already thinking past that. They are raising the bar before they hit the bar. And that's why when you look at people like Nick Saban or Tom Brady or, you know, most recently, Kurt Signetti, right?
These guys, they don't fucking cheer and go party for a week after they won a game. Like, bro, it's back to fucking work, bro. Because they understand, they think the way great people think. And great people think, how do I fucking innovate? How do I raise the bar? How do I get better before it's required? Because they've already tasted the...
the time in their life where they had to perform or else. And if you had enough of that, you'll remember that taste forever.
And you can really see this even in sports with like boxing, right? All these comeback stories, like Tyson trying to come back, you know, Tate trying to come back to these games. You look at that and you go, it's not that like you don't have it in you to win anymore. So you haven't practiced in 10 years, right? Like, so you're, you're like been sitting home. Yeah.
Your competition has been practicing every day. Yeah. for kicking your ass.
Yeah.
And you've been sitting there saying, I'm sitting on my title, I'm great. Like I've won this. Like you've earned it. Yeah. But then either you stay home and you call it quits or you go back to training because you're not going to get back in the ring just with one week of training and being like, well, now I'm back because I was once great. Yeah. And we see what happens.
No one gives a fuck. You used to be great, bro.
Kind of fooling yourself. Sit back down over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it, man. I love it. Let's get to question number two, a little tactical business. Guys, Andy, question number two. Should we invest in equipment or employees? I'm just starting out my countertop fabrication shop. It's just my wife and I right now. We fabricate everything by hand.

Chapter 3: What factors should you consider when investing in equipment or employees?
I'll fucking go and just go to rest.
Said nobody ever.
Ever. So even a job with the right intent, like, you know what? I believe in your cause. I'm here and I want to work in this place, still has a personal component of dream, which is like, I want a bigger house. I want a nicer job. I want a promotion. I want these things.
So that line has created a lot of corrosion in the world where people have this belief that just having a job as a negative quotation or like you're not, you're too stupid to go figure your own shit out. You get a job when you lack the ability to market your skills to the public.
Or you have no skills. If you're going super basic, you have nothing, then you learn how to- If you don't know how to cook fucking french fries and the guy next to you knows how to make the best fucking french fries, it's probably a good fucking idea to follow his little path.
But the point, I didn't go that far back as french fries, but we can go to like a normal job. But if you have some skill, like a company will hire you, you might be like, hey, you have good customer service skills, come here, sell my product. Okay, cool.
That skill is there, and there's a value to that skill to you as an employer, and there's a value to that skill to me to selling it to you as an employer. But I don't have the capacity to sell that to the public, scale it, and know how to do that. So I either have to earn more skills by going into that company and saying, can I learn new things? Maybe I'm good at service, but put me in sales.
Let me become a better, more versed person.
and that transition occurs even as you go from a job to like self-employment which is like oh well you know what i have an idea i've been doing this for people maybe i'll start a consulting firm and offer these services and train a few other guys that's not really entrepreneurial but it's still innovative and now you're learning again how to market yourself to the world out there and so on and so forth so when you follow someone's blueprint like someone says hey if you do this you'll make some money you'll go down that path

Chapter 4: How can you identify if you're following a proven path or losing your own direction?
It rewards people that actually contribute value at the scale that brings you the things that you want. So your analogy is 100% accurate. What the fuck have you done to think that you sit at that motherfucking table? Exactly. Because you don't.
Most people that attain the goods without the mastery or capacity to basically retain them
it just doesn't make sense like if you if you live in an apartment and you just put all your money and bought a car what is the likeliness that that's going to sustain like that's not you're not at that level where you should have this item you're just trying to do it to feel like you've gotten it but i'm not saying you shouldn't push yourself but i'm saying there are levels to the game where you have to understand where you where you are and what you need to do to get there not what you need to do to acquire things other people have that are there
And that's the part people aren't understanding. Even cars are generations of excellence that has been passed down from a father to a son who worked at Ferrari, who worked at Lamborghini, who built just the interior of something. And he's like, this fucking leather is the only cow in the fucking world that goes in a Rolls Royce. And you're like... I don't understand that.
But like that guy takes that shit very seriously. Yeah. And it's mastery on a level. And he's like, I've created mastery and I've created masterful experiences for people who have mastered their environment so they can sit in this fucking car, touch the steering wheel and be at peace after they've seen the chaos in the outside world. Like you haven't earned your fucking stripes.
You haven't been to war. You don't get to sit in the fucking car.
That's it, dude. And that's a real, it's a real thing. It's a real fucking thing. And it really upsets people when you fucking point that out, you know, but dude, yeah, but it shouldn't upset anybody because it's just reality. It's no different than gravity. It is just the way that it is.
And if you're offended by that, then you have to adjust how you're seeing the world because the work that reality is never changing. Okay, so you either.
Even if you fake it, it's going to go away.
