We have Q&AF, which is what you're about to hear. We have CTI, which you can catch tonight at 7 p.m. Central, live on TwitterX, whatever you want to call it, and YouTube. Soon to be coming to all streaming platforms. Then we have what's called Real Talk. Real Talk is just me giving you 5 to 20 minutes of some real talk. And then we have 75 Hard Versus.
75 Hard Versus where somebody who's completed the 75 Hard program comes on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now, and how they use 75 Hard to transform their lives. If you're unfamiliar with 75 Hard as the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which is the world's most famous mental transformation program in history, and it's free.
You can get that entire program at episode 208 on the audio feed. Again, that's 208 on the audio feed only. There's also a book at andyfrusella.com called The Book on Mental Toughness. Great book. We saw a lot of them. If you like the ins and outs and all the nuts and bolts and you know the why behind everything, it's a great book.
Huge group of people starting 75 hard today, actually, which I just found out about. But... So if you haven't done it, do it. And then what do we have? Oh, we have a fee. The fee is very simple. Do us a favor and share the show. I think we're the only podcast in the world that doesn't run ads. Nobody's paying me. You're going to get the real shit here.
And we just ask very simply to help us share it out, help us grow the show. So don't be a hoe. Share the show.
What's going on over there? Hopefully we're live tonight on Monday. We all don't get snowed in to oblivion.

Chapter 2: How can I manage my past identity while building a new one?
Other people are going to depend on you. You are going to be responsible for other people. And if you're not, you won't be able to get where you want to go. It's impossible because it takes more than just you. So. You have to understand that the reason you are in the life that you have is because you've handled shit so well for so long now.
I can understand what you're saying because I've struggled with this as well. And I still struggle with this. Okay. There's a reason that I don't travel all over the place. There's a reason that I'm not at every fucking, you know, big event. And yes, I like to work and I like to create and I like to build and I prefer that over doing all that other shit.
But yeah, it'd be cool to be able to do some other stuff and I could do those other things. And the reality of doing those things is as simple as, you understanding that having time for yourself is a matter of being effective or ineffective and if you have a company and you're making money and things are going well and you still don't have time for yourself and you still don't have the ability to
live a life you're not running your shit right you're running your shit inefficiently yeah okay and this is why the what i talk about the 24-hour game and the power list is so important um because when and by the way you can get the powerless podcast uh for free it's called win the day episode 16 on real af you want to go listen to that um it'll give you the the play to run um
But the whole thing is like, dude, you can only do so much in a day. So once you do your five critical tasks in a day, the rest of your day is free for you to live your life. That's the whole idea of the powerless system, which, by the way, all these other motherfuckers are trying to steal now and pretend like it's their core five or whatever the fuck they call it. Look, dude.
I've been running this system for damn near 30 years. Okay. It fucking works. And the reason I created the system was because I understood very simply that I needed to enjoy the process along the way. So the whole point is, And by the way, if you're in Operator Standard, if you're in the Operator Standard app, you're starting to understand this very well.
We're playing a 24-hour game, and there's only so many things that you can get done in a day. And as an entrepreneur, there's going to be a list a mile long. Whenever you choose to address it, it's going to be there. Tomorrow, it's going to be there. The next day, the list never gets shorter. So you have to decide what a win is. For me, a win is very simple. Five critical tasks a day.
Those do not include my to-dos. These are critical tasks that move my business forward, my goals forward. Once those things are done, the rest of the day is mine to do with whatever I want. Now, I choose usually to like... continue to work. Yeah. Reinvest that time back.
But when I, when I, yeah, because, because dude, I like being here and I like being around the guys and I like doing the, the, the things. Right. But when I was younger, you know, um, you know, I, this is even when we were building the business. Like I, I would do the five critical tasks. If I got done by noon, bro, I'd fucking leave. I'd go fucking do whatever I want.
