REAL AF with Andy Frisella

Are you paying close attention to what is happening in our country? Influencers making fashion statements with protective masks, the media instilling fear and promoting oppression ... the truth of it is, people are using this pandemic as a way to promote their own personal political agenda. America has had enough. It's time to take our freedom back!

Are you being true to yourself? On today's show, Andy and the guys discuss why it's important to be comfortable with yourself for your personal brand, why you should be a voice of encouragement, and the positives that have come from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Did Carole Baskin really feed her husband to the tigers? In today's episode, Andy and the guys tackle the meaning of playing with a chip on your shoulder, why believing in yourself is the first step for inner peace, and The Tiger King!

From Michael Jordan to Dr. Dre, Andy and the guys discuss segments from "The Last Dance" documentary, what it means to have the mentality of a winner, and the regression of hip hop music. Andy also dives deep into why it's important to nurture a battle mindset and prove all those naysayers wrong.

Have you ever thought why some people are always negative in their thoughts and in their vocabulary? And why they are always stuck battling the same issues all their life? They always keep jumping from idea to idea and keep going through the same cycle forever. Listen to today's episode to learn how to keep your negative thinking on autocorrect and how not to become one of those people.

Most people have it wrong ... when you make other people uncomfortable with your goals, you should take that as a COMPLIMENT. You see, most people these days just want to be complacent, and when you tell them about your goals, they feel insecure because they selfishly don't want to be passed up. On today's show, Andy tells you how to deal with these type of people, and how to continue moving forward.

Strong leaders don't give in during times of situational crisis...they use their mental toughness to execute at their best, crisis or no crisis. In today's episode, Andy explains how you can avoid becoming the person who panics during uncertain times and executes beyond your true potential.

Failure is guaranteed. Most people fear failure so much, that they don't even begin what they want to do. They make excuse after excuse and never make any progress. In today's episode, I share with you the 4 steps you must know in order to understand failure, and how to utilize it, so that you can build yourself up into an unstoppable force that can accomplish anything.

America's coming back. After several weeks of being completely shut down because of the Coronavirus pandemic, President Trump unveiled plans to open the economy back up. In today's episode, we talk about opening the country, what's happening to our freedoms, and why financial literacy is important during times of crisis.

Are your beliefs actually your beliefs? Most people resonate with a "tribe" or belief system at an early age and don't change it their whole life. They get stuck defending those beliefs they developed 5,10,20 years ago, because they never took the time to learn more. On today's episode, I tell you how to fix that mindset, so that you can start evolving.

What are you doing with your time during this quarantine? There was an article posted by Forbes Magazine, basically shaming those who are using the extra time to their advantage and progressing themselves, compared to those who are drinking more, smoking weed, and watching porn. In today's episode, I talk about how you can use this time to your advantage and come out dominating.

Is this really what we've come down to? Snitching on other people for being outside ... A battle of ego's controlling what we see on the news. On today's full length episode, we go in depth about these topics & much more, for our Easter special episode.

What is it that really divides us? Is it sex, race, religion, political party, economic class or could it be something else? The truth is, none of those things really divide normal Americans. It's a hoax used to increase ratings and consolidate power. In today's episode, I talk about the #1 thing that really divides us and what we could accomplish if we were united.

What does America's future look like? In today's full length episode, we discuss the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic that's happening, how President Trump & Dr Fauci are handling the outbreak, and what we can learn from this crisis.

It seems everybody these days is infected by fear. The truth is, most people are afraid of the wrong things. In this episode, I share 5 things you absolutely should be afraid of; when you are, fear becomes a motivation—not just to make it through this pandemic, but to succeed in all of life!

Today's society preaches being happy and accepting yourself without putting in the required work necessary. In today's Real Talk episode we combat the lies that keep us average.

I recently had a stint where I was going through some dark times in my life. As some of you may know, I've been clinically diagnosed with depression. If you're going through a similar situation, know that it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Resources are available to help you in these difficult times. In todays episode, I share with you 5 steps that will help you power through your dark times.

Valentine's day was last week. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon joins Andy and the crew as they discuss whether passionate Vegans can handle the truth about meat, why 3 out 5 Americans are lonely, and how a simple mental exercise can transform your life.

Some people's egos are so big, that they are willing to risk a good thing to satisfy their need to always be right. It's time to wake up and realize what really matters.

What does it take to build a real legacy? Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler, Kobe Bryant… no matter what their goal was, it was very clear that each one was highly skilled in influencing people, culture, and the world.

Being authentic is one of the best qualities any human can have, especially in the land of social media, where it's hard to believe the highlight reel. One way people try to achieve this is by being vulnerable… but there is a fine line though between vulnerability and oversharing. We talk about this and other things like when Sal used a hotel towel as toilet paper and still tries to blame Andy to this day.

The world of today is made complicated and full of double standards. In reality, it's really pretty simple… just do the right thing. From business to your personal life, if you stick to that one rule, your customers, employees, and spouse are going to love you for it.

Let's be real: the rise in technology might be good for efficiency ... but how does automation & artificial intelligence negatively affect us humans, including those crazy fucks who want to dress up as animals & comic book characters? Also on this episode: Sal imagines himself as a panda, Vaughn hits 69 in his mini-van ... and my dad & I debunk myths about success.

Conditions will never be ideal. How the most successful people in the world react in the midst of all the chaos and become their ideal self.

The third official episode of Real AF with Andy Frisella.

This is the second official episode of Real AF with Andy Frisella. If you haven't listened to Episode 318 - "The End" - of The MFCEO Project podcast, do that now. That serves as the first episode of Real AF.

This is the first official episode of Real AF with Andy Frisella. This episode is identical to Episode 318, "The End" of The MFCEO Project.

And now...the final episode of The MFCEO Project podcast (which, by the way, has language and adult humor that is not suitable for kids. Use your brains. Be a good parent.)

Preview of the final episode.

What makes your work worthwhile? Is it only worldwide influencers who make 9-figures that should feel good about themselves & their lives? Or can you feel great about life if you're a blue collar worker, a teacher, or someone who doesn't even earn $45,000 in income? Whether it's people who think "happiness is the new rich" or people who equate being famous with being impactful, there's a lot of confusion out there about how to evaluate the worth of a job & the value of a human life.

Are you "woke?" That's a phrase that's thrown around a lot these days. Sometimes it's used in politics to talk about people who say they really care about racism & injustice & sometimes it's used for dudes who think they've uncovered a worldwide conspiracy that nobody else knows about! But what does it really mean to be "woke," to have your eyes opened to what life is all about & what it takes to be happy & successful?

I recently had a friend admit to me that he didn't feel "worthy of success." The reality is...a lot of people feel like that. They feel like a fraud. They feel like they are running behind. They feel like there is some "secret formula" that's complicated & too sophisticated for them to understand. Listen...all of us feel lost & like we don't know what we're doing. In this episode, I talk about how to overcome that & we share OG stories about the early days of MFCEO. (Oh...& we announce contest winners!)

What is the key to ultimate happiness? Ask most people in the culture today & they'll say "the freedom to do whatever you want" & to indulge yourself any way you want...to live a life of leisure, comfort, ease, whatever. The reality is, that is absolutely, 100 percent dead wrong. In fact, the answer is pretty much the exact opposite of that. In this episode, I talk about the key to ultimate happiness & why it's ---not coincidentally--the key principle of my program, 75Hard.

Most people just don't understand how simple it is to advance in your career & climb the ladder of success all the way to the top. They think there's something mystical about it, something beyond their control, & that they have to be "chosen" to become the elite leaders of business & society. But the reality is, it's not hocus pocus or complex & complicated at all. There are 4 steps...4 concrete, actionable steps...that *anyone* can take to start moving up in the world NOW.

This is a message to anybody who is frustrated with some aspect of your life...whether your frustration is with your business, or a relationship, or your fitness...or whatever! There are two realizations you must have before success will materialize for you, & when I tell you what they are, you're probably going to say "well, no sh!t"...but I guarantee you're not really acting on these realizations. When you do...& I'm going to tell you how...things will go far, far better for you.

Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody wants to be successful. So why isn't everyone happy & successful? The truth is, it's not because people aren't willing to work hard. A ton of people in the world work hard & are still not happy & successful. The problem is in how they approach the work. In this episode, I talk about why choosing the hardest path possible is a good idea & the incredible thing that happens when you push yourself beyond your limits.

So many of you are good people who genuinely want to kill it in your business & life, but a ton of the advice you are getting on the internet...on Instagram & YouTube & on all the podcasts by the success gurus & "business coaches"...well, it's f*cking terrible & really counterproductive to your success. There are three pieces of advice in particular that are the worst. In this episode, I tell you what they are & actually provide the right advice, so you can make the impact & money you really want to make.

What really does make America...and YOU...great? I've been reading a ton of U.S. history, & I've learned more about the most incredible men & women our country has ever produced. It's been so impactful to me that I created a course called UNITED WE WIN: 7 Lessons in Excellence and Success From the Greatest Americans of All Time. The full course will only be available to my email subscribers, but I'm publishing the first lesson as a gift to you for Independence Day. Happy 4th of July, Mother F*ckers!

If you completed 75Hard - I introduced it in episode 290 - you know it's the program I created for winning the war against yourself & developing the kind of mental toughness that makes anything possible for you. You know it's changed your life & you'll never be the same. But you might be asking yourself..."now what? Where do I go from here? How do I take my mental toughness to an even higher level as I pursue my own full potential?" Take a listen to this episode & find out!

I don't know about you, but with all the crazy sh*t going on in the world & all the things going on in my own life, sometimes it's hard not to go insane or feel stuck & overwhelmed...not just professionally, but personally, too. The good news is that my guest on today's podcast is an incredibly insightful & brilliant woman who has a real gift for helping people live with peace & power & purpose. Dr. Nicole LePera, aka The Holistic Psychologist, is in the house!

The longer I live, the more I believe that people's success is determined by the questions they ask themselves. There's a bunch of people out there who really aren't succeeding & really aren't getting the results they say they want, because they don't have the right answer to the question, "will I put in the work when no one's looking?" And there are other people who are paralyzed with fear & regret because they constantly ask "what if?" Listen, regardless of the question, the answer is always GO HARD.

It's amazing to me how most people have an excuse for why they aren't winning. They have every tool...resource...opportunity. But there's a factor in the way they think & how they operate that is going to ruin them. Our culture is cursed & the mindset of the majority is hellbent on mediocrity. As sick & tired as I am about all this, I can't stop caring, & I won't stop working to make sure that the people who really, truly want to succeed know the hard truth about what it's going to take to do that.

Nike running shoes? Check. AirPods? Check. Weighted vest? Check. Alright...let's f*cking GO! Yes, that's right...today we made podcast history as the first episode recorded *while* doing the SECOND of TWO workouts, after an already long & busy day of running a 9-figure business. Was I tired? F*ck yeah, I was tired. But that doesn't mean I can't execute...& what you need to understand is that if want to enjoy your best possible life, you have to learn to push yourself hard, even after you're exhausted.

What can you learn about business from two guys from Tupelo, Mississippi? A lot. Josh West & Nick Weaver are two of the most incredible entrepreneurs I've met in a long time! They were best friends as kids & are now the founders of Blue Delta Jeans, a company that makes the best blue jeans I've ever worn in my life! We talked about their story, their struggle, & the lessons every entrepreneur can apply. You're not just going to learn a lot in this episode. You're going to laugh, too. A lot.

If you could take a time machine back to your biggest win in life…would you? If you're thinking "Of course! I'd love to rocket back to Yesteryear to relive the Glory Days," then your chances of being a real success in life are probable zero. ZERO. Truly successful people have a completely different mindset. They are guided by a major rule in life: The 24-Hour Rule of Bragging. This rule protects you from mediocrity and helps you move on from massive mistakes.

Just "winning" isn't enough. "Winning" doesn't earn you glory or the right to brag. You have to DOMINATE. That's the mentality you have to have to truly be successful on an elite level...& this isn't an ego thing, either. It's not about just trying to prove you are way better than somebody else. It's not about feeling good because you decimated your competition. It actually has to do with YOU...your potential..& whether or not you die feeling proud of how you lived.
