You probably wont amount to shit Now I'm married own a house have healthy kids and made almost 100k last year. All because I started to understand and live a life of gratitude! It's tattooed on me! Appreciate the little things you have and eventually the big things we'll come ! 💪

[@asherray4969]

Man flex’s energy is the perfect match for Wes. This is the best podcast I’ve ever seen Wes do. So chill and intense

[@yyxy.oncesaid]

Chill and intense? Both?

[@michaelfreund]

I’m on the getting up train now. 4am. Basically since I discovered Wes 2 or 3 weeks ago. Took me a week of watching his stuff to get how crucial the consistency of getting up early is. It’s made all the difference. I can tell how it’s subtly starting to affect the way I see myself. A little more respect, a little more power and positivity. Just ever so little. Feels amazing. the decades of snoozing and giving into whatever I fucking felt like, vs being driven by principles, I can see it reflected in my life. I’m a reflection of my habits. I’m turning it all around now. Much gratitude.

[@VastChoirs]

I've been having a rough 2.5 months. A bit depressed over some childhood trauma shit and being alienated from my parents. My dad has been missing for the past 3 years and probably dead and I finally cut my mom out of my life. I was feeling sorry for myself and moping around but this is the interview that truly inspired me to stop the internal "woe is me" bullshit talk, appreciate what I do have, change my mindset, and take pride in my disciplined habits. Thanks so much for recording this.

[@sychophantt]

Damn dude, it can only go up from here! Don't quit!

[@frankimusmaximus3012]

Fuck yeah man, this talk really put things into perspective for me as well. Wishing you peace and good luck.

My mom died when we were on a hiatus, fighting and what not, the last thing I said to her was fuck u, and when she dies I will always regret that and there is nothing I can do to get that time back with her or get that last moment I had with her back so please talk to her, I know u said u cut her off, but please just talk to her and tell her u love her, if not for anything else, for creating u, cuz without her u wouldn't b here, and she took care of u when u couldn't take care of yourself.. whatever it was that made u cut her off, can't be as big as the sacrifice she took to feed u and clothe u and make sure u had a roof over ur head when u couldn't do that for yourself.. u crying and pooping in ur diaper and she stayed up when she was tired asf making sure that u ate and that were clean and made sure that u survived.. man think about that.. what if ur kid cut u off.. bro get ahold of her and tell her u love her.. b genuine... u never know.. it might b the last chance u get to tell her that.. real shit

This was a gem. Most people miss the deeper level Wes has on people upon their first encounter with him. He's all about creating assets all around him. Just take a moment to realise how much he impacted Flex from a 10m conversation. Can't wait to see the heat with Brad coming soon...

Seen Wes KZbin video's and has a great message period. I respect what he talked about having a negative mindset when gets up and can relate to that, I always tell myself to do the opposite of what I wanna do. One hell of an interview.

So cool… love the honesty! My first job out of the United States Marine Corps was as a Prison Guard… I was fresh out out the corps and thought, holy fuck, I’m gonna die up in here… lasted 10 years. I pumped the iron and just kept going to work every day…. Eventually I went away. But, great times. It’s an intense scenario, weather you’re in there or work there you gotta be respectful of everyone you meet. Great Vlog!

[@BensonAndHedgers]

I've always said that, if it's given to you easy you'll destroy it or waist it. Earn it and you'll respect it. Even if you don't know what your going to do with it, even if it's earned, it'll get waisted. "Your frequency is what you frequently see". That's fkn dope and true 💯

@@ashleytaylor994 I hopped on the elite mindset program. We developed a non negotiable mindset so I don’t tap on the work required to achieve my goals. I never sleep in, I never miss the gym, I’m in the best shape of my life I started my own business. It’s transferred to all areas of my life. Developing a daily process and ways to actually stick with it. everyone wants the discipline and the success that comes with it but can’t commit to it day in and day out. I couldn’t either so we got to the root of why I could never stick to anything so this will last for life. Wes is the top tier coach if you want to progress in all areas.
