REAL AF with Andy Frisella

What's wrong with Millennials? I have built a strong, multi-million dollar brand, working almost exclusively with Millennials. Millennials are doing some badass sh*t. That said, they do have one downfall. They have an issue with patience. In this episode, I talk about how they - and you - can overcome that issue by developing "aggressive patience," while is a key to dominating everything in life.

There are 3 types of people: Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3. Most people are Number 3. They aren’t extraordinary in any way, but can perform basic tasks. Number 2 is good, but not great. Number 1? Those are the type who demonstrate initiative, creativity, and execution.  They are rare and valuable.  They get paid extremely well because they deserve it. They have the life they want because they e...

Can you draw a line in the sand? Can you decide that f*cking enough is enough and that the change you need to make is far more important than the sacrifice it will take to make it? The problem is, too many people can’t do that. Too many people think they can make endless compromises with themselves, and that they have plenty of time to get around to the life they want. F*ck that! They don’t. Succe...

Years before all entrepreneurs were using electronic media to promote their businesses…years before the bar was lowered WAY down and anybody could pitch themselves as a expert, coach, or guru…there was an elite group of trailblazers who built real businesses, impacted millions of lives, and created massive amounts of wealth. They became legends of success. Dean Graziosi is one of them. In this epi...

So many of you struggle with saying a word that so many of the people around you need to hear.  If you learned to say this word, you would release so much of the frustration that you've internalized. If you learned to say it, people would respect you. You'd gain credibility. You'd gain confidence. Everything from your leadership to your productivity would improve. So what's the word? 

One thing I’ve learned is that people are almost always wrong about why they aren’t succeeding in business (and life). They think they’re not a “born leader.” They think they aren’t selling because their product or service isn’t priced low enough. They’re worried that if they really put themselves into their brand, it won’t fly with people. The truth is, problems can be traced to flaws in how you...

I can’t tell you how often I hear people say, “I really mean it this time! This year is going to be different.” But then there's always a reason why it isn't. Listen: Are you in love with the idea of success? Or do you love actual success? The reality is, success takes sacrifice, time, and the willingness to make tough decisions. But it can be done. It’s hard, but not impossible. In this episode I...

Can you 100% guarantee success in anything? Yes. And it doesn’t mean that you have to work so many hours that you never sleep.  What it does mean is that you identify the critical tasks that have to be completed TODAY. There’s no better day than the first day of the new year to review the system – the tool – that has helped me complete critical tasks and become rich and successful. If you faithful...

At the end of every year, people find excuses for why they didn't do what they PROMISED themselves they were going to do. But then they say sh*t like, "2016 was practice.  2017 was a warm-up.  Now 2018 is game time!" Seriously? What a joke. They aren't going to make a change. They aren't really going to accomplish anything. And neither are you...but it's probably not because you're lazy. It's some...

This 200th episode of our podcast is like the f*cking box of chocolates that your Aunt Paula is going to inhale this Christmas. It’s an educational and entertaining assortment of stories, rants, and practical insights about everything from being fearless and aggressive to raising 100-0 mindset kids and understanding that there’s really nothing you can’t bounce back from in life—except death. My da...

You can develop the same drive for success as The Greatest of All Time…elite athletes like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and even Michael Jordan.  There is zero reason you can’t be a Hall of Fame level performer in everything you do in life. That’s what my friend Tim Grover says, and he should know. He is the one of the most revered mental toughness and performance coaches in history. Those guys I jus...

You know how many people who fully committed themselves to becoming a billionaire AT LEAST ended up becoming a millionaire or multi-millionaire? Every one of them.  But most people don't get it. Most people still set "small realistic goals." You can't be like that if you want the kind of life that people would kill for.  You have to redefine what's "realistic" and learn to visualize what's possibl...

What’s your excuse for not making millions? My friend Randall Pich was raised by his mom in extreme poverty, in one of the most dangerous parts of the country. Now he’s the very wealthy founder of multiple brands, most notably Live Fit Apparel, a top social media influencer, and a model for how to build an enthusiastic following around an in-demand brand. In this episode, we talk about the connect...

How does the story unfold for someone who is pursuing their million dollar dreams? What are the stages of success and the critical moments along the way? How does the person who achieves something truly great think? What do they do? Ed Mylett, one of the wealthiest, most successful guys I've ever had on the show, shares his life story and lessons on money, God, and "maxing out." Ed is the head of...

When you begin developing into the person that you know you really are - and are meant to be - people close to you don't always take it well. They push back. They mock you. They laugh at you. When that happens, most people (you?) feel like a fraud and don't know how to power through the resistance they experience.  I know.  I've been there. But I figured out how to outlast that backlash, and in th...

A lot of people spend exorbitant amounts of time wondering what other people have that they don't. Especially when we are in the beginning of our success journey. I know. I used to do the same thing! In this episode, I nail down the specific action that successful people (in any area of life) do that unsuccessful people don't. I guarantee it will surprise you to find out what it is!

Many people in the world are in a situation that they find very, very comfortable. Maybe they are making enough money, are in good enough shape, and in decent personal relationships. Their lives aren't terrible, but they are also not great. So they get into this mentality of not really being motivated to change the status quo. The irony is that this comfort zone is actually uncomfortable. In this...

Yes, you learn from losses. But you shouldn't celebrate losses as if they are moral victories. That's not the mindset that is going to propel you to the highest levels of success. True winners hate losing of any kind. You can't just console yourself with the "I did my best" mantra. That is a cop out. It's about going for the W:  Every. Single. Time. 

Brad Lea is the founder of LightspeedVT, an interactive learning software, and a veteran marketer and training expert. In what may be our funniest episode in months, we sat down and talked about the building blocks of training your team (and yourself): great content, repetition, role playing and real life application, and accountability. This conversation is full of insight (and laughs).

J.P. Dinnell is a Navy SEAL, business consultant, and Jocko Willink's partner at Echelon Front. In one of the best podcasts we've ever done, he and I talk about his SEAL training, his experience fighting in the battle of Ramadi, and lessons he's learned in war that very much apply to achieving success in business and real life. This is a special podcast. If you don't come away amazed by the insigh...

The most important thing you can do to achieve success is commit yourself to self-development. How many books have you read?  What have you taught yourself lately?  It is nobody's responsibility but yours to put good sh*t in your brain. There is no excuse you can make to not take your own improvement seriously.  In this episode, I tell you what has worked for me and what can work for you. 

Buckle up: this is a pretty wide-ranging conversation about everything that is going on with me right now, the vision I have for transforming the lives of the younger generation, and the plans we have for providing tools for REAL entrepreneurs who want to build a business and make millions of dollars. (I also throw in my thoughts on something essential to entrepreneurial success: the importance of...

How you view conflict in your life has so much to do with what energy you're putting out, what progress you're making, and how far along you're going to get. What makes movies and books so exciting is the conflict! Yet people have such a terrible view of it. But if you want to be successful, you have to change your perspective about it. In fact, you have to come to believe that conflict is actuall...

Whether you're trying to build your personal brand or build your business, social media is huge. We know that, right? But it's amazing how many people spin their wheels on platforms like Instagram and Facebook and really don't get any return on their investment of time and energy. That's understandable. What worked just last year won't work now. But I've spent a ton of time figuring out the princi...

I am so proud and grateful for the community that has built up around The MFCEO Project podcast. The people who listen to this podcast understand that life is about dominating everything you do, about kicking ass, stepping on throats, and running up the score. So we decided to do something to step up our level of engagement with you and show our gratitude to you for being part of a movement that i...
